On the second day of the Lunar New Year, according to custom, one has to return to one's parents' home. Zhou Suisui brought several children back to Zhou's home.
Zhou's father and mother also had to prepare everything for their daughter's return, and the melon seeds were placed on the table.
"Dad, Mom, Happy New Year!" Zhou Suisui said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, happy, happy."
After a long period of greeting each other, Zhou Suisui finally sat down.
"Why are Da Wa and Er Wa taller than Mu Mu?" Wang Shulan said in surprise.
Zhou Suisui replied, "These kids are growing up fast, just like their dad. They jump up and down all day long and love to grow. Our Mumu will definitely not be short in the future."
You can't praise one and criticize the other. No parents will be happy that way.
However, Brother Zhou and Brother Zhou are both about 1.75 meters tall, so Mumu can't be too short.
"Your food is still good and nutritious." Wang Shulan said with a smile.
Zhou Ersao Zhao Yun also smiled and said, "Sanwa is a chubby little kid, so cute."
Especially when she is wearing a new red dress, she looks like a doll in a New Year picture.
"Baosen has grown a lot this year." These are the polite words you say when meeting relatives during the Chinese New Year.
"Eldest wife and second wife, I have prepared the food for today in the kitchen. You can go and watch them cook." Zhou's mother said.
Originally, Wang Shulan and Zhao Yun were going back to their parents' home today, but since Zhou Suisui came, the two of them did not go back and planned to go back on the third day of the New Year.
In fact, this is what Zhou's mother said.
"Sui Sui is back today, you two should go back and visit if you need to. It's New Year's Day, don't worry about Sui Sui, your father and I are at home."
But Zhou Suisui's two sisters-in-law refused to go back no matter what.
"Mom, I told my mom a long time ago that I would go back on the third day of the New Year. My younger sister is back today, so how can we not be at home?" Wang Shulan said quickly.
"Yes, mother. We are sisters-in-law. It's okay, mother. It doesn't matter if it's a day earlier or later. My mother won't say anything." Zhao Yun also said so.
Since the other party doesn't want to go back, Zhou's mother can't say anything.
Zhou Suisui thought that both sisters-in-law had gone back to their parents' home today, but unexpectedly they were both at home.
"Mom, do you miss me?" Zhou Suisui came to her mother coquettishly.
"You little girl, you're so old but still not well-behaved." Mother Zhou said lovingly, nodding Zhou Sui's little head.
"Then no matter how old I am, I am still my mother's child."
"Yes, yes, you are always right."
"Mom, do you have something to tell me?" Zhou Suisui always felt that her mother had deliberately sent her two sisters-in-law away.
"Nothing."
Mother Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Sui Sui, are you going to join the army with your son-in-law after the New Year?"
Zhou Suisui nodded and said, "Yes, but it will take a while. I won't leave right away. Mom, are you reluctant to let me go?"
"Get out of my way, I won't be sad to leave you. I just want you to leave quickly so I don't have to worry about you anymore."
"Oh? Really?"
"Of course."
"So, mother, what do you want to say?"
"It's okay for you and your son-in-law to join the army. It's not a good thing for you two to live apart like this all the time. I just want to say that you don't have to worry about me and your father at home. Your two brothers are filial. Your father and I have married them off, so they have to take care of us in our old age. This is only natural. Just live your life well and be good to your son-in-law. He is a good man, you have to cherish him and don't be petty." Zhou's mother said earnestly.
You know your own daughter best.
Suisui has always been spoiled by herself and her father since she was a child.
Even when conditions were bad and there was a great famine, she never lacked food.
The kind of love that would rather let her son starve than let her go hungry.
She is well-educated and has high standards when she grows up.
Now that she is married to her son-in-law, she has not suffered any hardship, but it is indeed hard for her to raise several children alone.
Zhou's mother was afraid that her daughter would feel bad about her son-in-law again, so she wanted to talk to her.
"Don't worry, mom. Gu Jingheng and I have a good relationship. I know he has his difficulties. I knew it when I married him, and I was prepared for it."
"I joined the army this time willingly. My parents-in-law told you the same thing. They think it's not right for us to live apart all the time."
"I understand everything you said, don't worry."
When Zhou's mother heard what Zhou Suisui said, she almost cried.
After all, my precious daughter has grown up and has become a daughter-in-law, a mother, and a wife. She is very qualified.
"Sui Sui, from childhood to adulthood, compared to your two brothers, I love you the most. As long as you are well, I will be relieved, do you know that?"
"I understand, Mom." Zhou Suisui snuggled in her mother's arms.
Wang Shulan and Zhao Yun were very skillful and the meal was ready quickly.
Zhou Suisui gave red envelopes to the children of his eldest and second brothers' families, and also to the Gu family.
"Little sister, what are you doing?" said Brother Zhou.
"Not much, just for good luck during the New Year." Zhou Suisui said with a smile.
"By the way, Xiuxiu, your aunt brought you a pair of hair flowers. See if you like them." Zhou Suisui took out a pair of red hair flowers.
Zhou Xiuxiu loved this pair of head flowers so much. They were so beautiful. She had never seen any girl in the village wearing anything prettier than this.
"Thank you, aunt." Zhou Xiuxiu said happily.
"You're so polite! Our Xiuxiu is so polite. Come sit down and eat."
Wang Shulan suddenly said, "Little sister, you like our Xiuxiu so much? Why don't you take her with you when you leave?"
…
"What do you mean, sister-in-law? Take him away? Where should he take him?" Zhou Suisui said with a smile.
"Stop talking!" Brother Zhou scolded in a low voice.
He knew that his wife was going to act up again.
Last time when her brother-in-law got married, Wang Shulan wanted to pay, but in the end she didn't give it because Brother Zhou refused to let her do so no matter what.
In the end, it was said that the Wang family borrowed money from outside to marry the wife.
Because of this incident, Wang Shulan was scolded harshly when she returned to her parents' home, and was called ungrateful and heartless.
"What's wrong with me?" Wang Shulan retorted.
Zhou Suisui didn't say anything and just lowered his head to eat.
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
"Little sister, this is what I mean. Are you going to join the army with your brother-in-law soon?"
"When you get to the army, you might be too busy to handle everything yourself. Why not bring our Xiuxiu over to help you with some work and look after the kids?"
"Our Xiuxiu is already a grown-up girl, and she can do any job. Besides, Xiuxiu is your niece, so it's normal for us to help each other, right?"
Zhou Suisui laughed after hearing this and said, "Are you saying that everything has been arranged for me? I haven't even gone there yet, and I don't know what the situation will be like after I get there, but you can already explain everything so clearly."
