"This is a woolen sweater. All the old men and women in the city wear it. Don't look at it because it's thin, but it's very warm." Zhou Suisui said.
"Old man, please try it quickly." Mother Gu urged.
Father Gu happily began to try on clothes.
After putting it on, he said, "Hey, don't say that, this dress is so warm, I'm sweating."
"You old man, you only know how to show off all day long." Mother Gu said with a smile.
"Then Dad and Mom, I'll go back first." Zhou Suisui said.
"Okay, go back and have a good rest." said Gu's mother.
The next morning, after breakfast, Zhou Suisui Gu Jingheng took her three children back to her parents' home.
Zhou's father and mother were extremely happy to see their daughter, son-in-law and grandson return.
"Dad and Mom, this is a New Year gift I bought for you. You can wear new clothes during the New Year."
When Zhou's father and mother opened it, they also saw two pieces of clothing.
There are two sweaters, Zhou's mother's is dark red and Zhou's father's is royal blue.
"This sweater is so beautiful. I can't knit it like this at home." Zhou's mother said curiously while touching the sweater.
"Does it look good? You two should try it on and see if it fits."
"No need to try it, you can tell it's suitable at first glance," said Zhou's mother.
"There are also two older brothers' houses. My older brother wears this kind of cotton hat. It keeps you warm when you go out in winter and doesn't freeze your ears.
And these two silk scarves are for my two sisters-in-law.
These pairs of socks are for the children. Wearing red socks during the Chinese New Year is festive." Zhou Sui Sui took out the things and said.
The same things were prepared for the two rooms of the Gu family. The only difference was the colors.
"And ours?" Zhao Yun said in surprise.
"Yes, second sister-in-law, of course there are some for you." Zhou Suisui said with a smile.
"Little sister, I'm so sorry to have you spend money on so many things," said Zhao Yun.
"Second sister-in-law, what are you talking about? This is the only time of the year for Chinese New Year. I finally came back to bring you some small gifts."
"Thank you, little sister." Wang Shulan said this.
"You're welcome, sister-in-law." Zhou Suisui replied with a smile.
It’s the New Year, everyone is happy and doesn’t want to think about unhappy things.
Several children also lined up to say, "Thank you, aunt."
"You're welcome."
After the two families took their things, Zhou's mother sent them away.
There were too many people in the room, and she felt annoyed.
"Mom and Dad, how are your health this year? I see you two have aged a lot." Zhou Suisui said sadly.
"Your father and I are already very old. It's normal to get older. What's the big deal? We are fine. You really don't have to worry about us," said Zhou's mother.
"How could I not be worried? When I really miss you guys in the future, I will bring you to live with me."
"My daughter, how can you be so filial?" Zhou's mother hugged Zhou Suisui tightly.
"It's enough for you to say this. Your parents have loved you for so many years."
Gu Jingheng was outside chatting with his two brothers-in-law Zhou An and Zhou Ping.
"When did you come back?" Zhou's father asked.
"I just got home last night. I missed you guys so much that I came here early this morning."
"Don't be so anxious. Just rest at home." said Zhou's mother.
"Mom, I see my sister-in-law..." Zhou Suisui couldn't help but ask.
I always feel that Wang Shulan is different from before, but she can't tell exactly what's different.
It just looked weird when we met, and both of us were awkward.
"Don't bother with her. She has a sour face all day long, and I don't know who she's showing it to." Zhou's mother scolded.
"What happened to her? Did she have a fight with my eldest brother?"
"Ever since the family split up, there has been no peace in the first house. There are quarrels every few days. Didn't you see that your eldest brother has lost a lot of weight today? It's all because of this troublemaker." Zhou's mother said.
"Why?" Zhou Suisui asked.
"It's about her parents' family matters. I didn't ask about the details. Let her do whatever she wants. I can't control it anymore since the family has been divided. Just let it be." Zhou's mother said.
Zhou Suisui knew his mother had something else to say.
"Why, sister-in-law thinks you are meddling in other people's business?"
"Do I need her to dislike me? I used to think your two sisters-in-law were good people, but now this Wang Shulan has a heart of a bodhisattva. She softens as soon as her parents cry. It really spoils her bad habits."
Zhou Suisui didn't say anything. It was not appropriate for her to talk about this matter.
She is just a married sister-in-law. It is better not to interfere in matters that are not your business, as this will easily increase family conflicts.
"Eat lunch at home. I'll stew a chicken for you. I haven't seen my grandson for a long time." Mother Zhou got up to stew the chicken.
"Mom, there's no need to stew the chicken. Just eat a bite. We will be back after the New Year. No need to bother." Zhou Suisui said.
"No, that won't work. My grandsons are back and I have to feed them something good. Just don't worry about it." Mother Zhou put on her clothes and went out. Zhou Suisui didn't stop her at all.
Gu Jingheng went out to help chop firewood, Zhou Suisui went to help Zhou's mother light the fire, and the three children were playing with their brother's children.
Because Zhou Suisui's family came today, Zhou's mother also invited the families from the first and second wives to come and have dinner together.
Wang Shulan and Zhao Yun naturally came to the kitchen to help cook.
While eating.
"When are you going back?" asked Zhou's mother.
"We have to leave on the fifth day of the New Year," Gu Jingheng replied.
"Are you in such a hurry?"
Zhou Suisui said, "Your son-in-law only has a few days of vacation left. If he's delayed on the road for a few more days, there won't be many days left. He'll have to go back after the New Year."
"Okay, will you come again after the New Year?"
"Come on."
"That's fine, that's fine."
After staying for a while after dinner, Zhou Suisui and his family went home.
Fortunately, the two villages are not far apart, otherwise it would be quite difficult to walk back and forth in the middle of winter.
"Are you cold? I'll boil some hot water so you can take a bath." said Gu's mother.
"Okay, thank you, Mom." Zhou Suisui said.
After taking a bath, Zhou Suisui began to feel sleepy.
"If you're sleepy, just take a nap. Don't force yourself. I'll cook tonight," said Gu Jingheng.
"Okay, then remember to cook for mom and dad." Zhou Suisui fell asleep.
Gu Jingheng touched Zhou Suisui’s head.
When Zhou Suisui is asleep, he looks soft and well-behaved, gentle and cute.
Gu Jingheng lay down beside her and slept for a while.
As for the children, they had long been forgotten by these two people.
At this age, they can entertain themselves.
From childhood to adulthood, we have never instilled in our children the idea that the older ones should give way to the younger ones.
Children are children, no matter how big or small, everything must be divided equally.
If there is only one thing and everyone wants it, then Zhou Suisui chooses to make sure that no one can get it.
This is fair and won't make them feel like you're biased.
Children's minds are sensitive and fragile.
We should try our best to treat all children equally and not let them feel disappointed or sad.
