After two days and one night, we arrived at the county town smoothly.
Since there were many people coming back this time including Zhou Suisui, they did not go to Gu He's house first, but went straight back to the village.
The scenery in the Northeast was indeed covered in snow. My hometown was much colder than Beijing, but Zhou Suisui had foresight and made the children dress warmly, so they were not cold.
Gu's father and mother were very happy when they saw them come back.
"I thought it would take two days for you to get home!" said Mrs. Gu happily.
"Mom, shouldn't we hurry back home now that we have a holiday? We want to stay at home for two more days."
Zhou Suisui's words made Gu's mother smile from ear to ear. Don't old people always want to have children and grandchildren around them? Gu's mother is no exception.
"Come into the house and warm yourself by the fire. Sit at the head of the kang. It's warm there." Mother Gu asked them to take off their clothes and sit on the kang.
The kang in Northeast China is very warm in winter, which is like two different worlds compared to the ice and snow outside.
Because Zhou Suisui told Zhou Ersao their return time in advance, Zhou Ersao and his wife came as soon as Zhou Suisui and his wife got home.
Zhou Suisui smiled and said, "Second brother and sister-in-law really miss their children."
Brother Zhou and his wife were very happy to see that Zhou Baosen, whom they hadn't seen for several months, had grown a lot taller.
Brother Zhou Er said, "I miss my little sister too."
Zhou Suisui couldn't stop laughing when he heard what Zhou Erge said.
"Mom and Dad!" Zhou Baosen rushed over happily.
Zhou Ersao hugged her son and said, "Baosen, you've grown a lot taller. Have you eaten well at my aunt's house?"
You know your own son best. Baosen must be living well at his aunt's house, and he looks much more cheerful now.
My younger sister is very good at raising children, and Zhou Ersao knows it. Baosen is also a lucky child to be taken in by his younger sister-in-law to live with her.
Zhou Baosen nodded vigorously and said, "Mom, don't worry. My aunt and uncle are very good to me. My younger brother Mingrui and my older brothers Mingzhe and Minglin are also very good to me. Mom, I'm living very well at my aunt's house, and I got first place in the class in this exam!"
When Zhou Ersao heard the result, she said happily, "First place? Really? That's great!"
Why did she send her child to Zhou Suisui despite missing him so much? Wasn't it for his studies?
"Yes, Mom, I brought all my papers back. I did very well on the test this time. My aunt even praised me."
Zhou Suisui said, "Second sister-in-law, Baosen is really hardworking and has done well in his studies. He has also adapted well to studying and living in Beijing."
"Little sister, thank you so much. I know you have been troubled by this child. The money we gave is not enough, but don't worry, we will do our best. Little sister, thank you so much. This child will have a bright future. He must be filial to his aunt, okay?" Zhou Ersao's last words were to Baosen.
Not to mention anything else, just look at the clothes Baosen was wearing when he came back. They were not cheap, nor were they something they could afford. They must have been paid for by the younger sister.
Zhao Yun was truly grateful to Zhou Suisui from the bottom of his heart.
"Second sister-in-law, we are all family. What are you talking about? Stop saying that. Baosen is a very well-behaved child. I like him very much."
Baosen also nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I'm very well behaved at my aunt's house. I will definitely be filial to my aunt, and I will also be filial to you and my dad in the future."
When the couple heard this, they were extremely happy.
My son did not become less close to them just because he was away from home for several months. On the contrary, their relationship was still very good, which shows that Zhou Suisui taught him well.
The couple took the children away and Zhou Suisui didn't keep them for long.
The main reason is that I just returned home and haven’t prepared anything yet.
When Zhou Er's brother and sister-in-law left, Zhou Suisui asked them to take two roast ducks back to divide among Zhou's father, Zhou mother and the eldest wife, as they would definitely return to her mother's home during the Chinese New Year.
After they left, Zhou Suisui didn't want to move. He sat on the kang and chatted with Gu's mother.
Mother Gu said to Gu Jingheng and Zhou Suisui, "There's one thing I haven't told you. I didn't want to bother you any more after traveling so far."
"What's the matter, mom?" Gu Jingheng asked.
"It's your sister, Gu Lan."
"What's wrong with her?" Gu Jingheng frowned reflexively when he heard Gu Lan.
"That bastard Zhao Jianguo. When he divorced your sister, the two children stayed with him. But now his mistress gave birth to a son, so he threw the two children to your sister, saying he couldn't afford to raise them and asked her, as their mother, to take care of them. Then Zhao Jianguo just walked away."
"You said that no matter how different Xiaoyu and Xiaomin are, they are still your sister's biological children. If she were to reject the two children, your sister would not be willing to let them go, so she kept them."
"This is not a big deal. As long as Zhao Jianguo doesn't cause trouble again, it will be fine." Gu Jingheng said.
Zhou Suisui also felt the same way. It was impossible for a mother to abuse her children. After all, the two children were Gu Lan's biological children. It was normal for Gu Lan not to abandon them.
But... Zhou Suisui guessed that Gu Lan must be having a hard time.
In her impression, her two children are not easy to deal with and will not live a quiet life.
Sure enough, Zhou Suisui’s guess was correct.
Now Zhao Yu and Zhao Min are both grown up and are old enough to get married.
But now these two people have been sent to this desolate countryside by their own father, and they are so angry no matter how they think about it.
Neither of them was good at studying, and they barely graduated from junior high school and then dropped out.
It’s not that they don’t want to go, but they can’t get into high school.
After their stepmother gave birth to a little brother, she was afraid that one of them would inherit the family property, especially Zhao Yu, because he was a boy, which made their stepmother even more worried.
