Chapter 119 My Big Brother and Big Sister Are Back
Because of the pharmaceutical factory's recruitment, all the educated youth who had been sent to the countryside and scattered all over the country returned to the family compound.
Every household was busy buying some meat and seafood to feed the children who had just arrived home.
This also includes Zhao Lei and Zhao Yan from Zhang Hongmei's family, who just arrived home this afternoon.
Because they had companions on the road, and their mother was now a leader in a pharmaceutical factory and their father was in the military region.
The two younger brothers are still young, and now that they have trained, they are very familiar with the way home.
So the two of them did not call back in advance, but instead took a ox cart and walked back.
Zhang Hongmei called her eldest son and daughter a week ago and asked them to prepare to come back and take the job recruitment exam.
Therefore, these two days, I have been thinking about my two children, so I have been staring at the clock on the wall during working hours.
It was almost time to get off work, and a child's voice could be faintly heard outside the logistics department. It sounded like the voices of Xiaozhuang and Yanyan.
Zhang Hongmei followed the sound to the door, and sure enough, it was Xiaozhuang and Yanyan jogging towards her.
While running with his short legs, he shouted over here, "Mom, my big brother and big sister are back."
Yanyan also shouted from behind: "Aunt, my elder brother and elder sister are back."
Ever since Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang recognized each other as godmothers, in Yanyan's heart, the three of them plus Zhou Ziang are just like real brothers, and the three families are as close as one.
Since his parents are Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang’s godparents, then Xiaozhuang’s brothers and sisters are also his brothers and sisters.
The two of them ran so hard that their faces turned red and their foreheads were covered with sweat.
"Really! Where are they now?" Zhang Hongmei confirmed with joy upon hearing this.
The two little kids pointed in the direction of the family compound and answered in baby voices, "At home."
"Okay, thank you Xiaozhuang and Yanyan for coming over to report the news."
Zhang Hongmei has been with Lin Yunxi for a long time now, and her behavior and speaking style are becoming more and more like Lin Yunxi's.
Zhang Hongmei took out a handkerchief from the house, wiped the sweaty foreheads of the two children, and imitated Yunxi's sister to thank the two children.
"You're welcome."
Afterwards, she did not rush home, but brought her two children to the cafeteria window and ordered food for five people.
"Yanyan, do you want to have dinner at my house tonight? It's very lively here, with Dazhuang, Xiaozhuang, and two older brothers and sisters." Zhang Hongmei asked with her head down.
Yanyan blinked his big eyes and said that his mother would make his favorite soy sauce chicken and pineapple rice tonight.
Now he can't bear to part with the delicious food his mother makes, nor can he bear to part with someone to play with.
After thinking for a while, little Gu Jiayan suddenly had an idea and asked.
"Aunt, can I go to your house for dinner with the delicious food my mother made?"
"sure."
After Lin Yunxi heard that the two children of the Zhao family had returned, in addition to bringing her own meals for Yanyan, she also personally cooked three stir-fried dishes:
Four-happiness meatballs, crispy loofah and pork, and braised pork elbow.
When Lin Yunxi first came to the staff quarters, the family would always close the kitchen door if they were stewing chicken or meat to prevent the smell from wafting out.
Now that she has become the factory director and has confessed the matter of the space to Gu Zheng, she no longer hides it.
The cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, fish, shrimps and shellfish in the space change every day, and to outsiders this is also a matter of course.
One of them is the deputy group leader and the other is the factory director. Their combined monthly salary is enough to buy whatever they want.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Zhang Hongmei, Captain Zhao Peng, and Zhao Lei and Zhao Yan had red eyes. It was obvious that the whole family had already cried.
After Lin Yunxi put down the food in his hand, he reached out and patted Zhang Hongmei on the back gently, comforting her.
"Brother Zhao and sister-in-law, it's good that the child is back. Good days are still to come."
"This is the welcoming dish I made for the two children. Please eat dinner while it's hot."
Zhang Hongmei wiped her tears and thanked her, "Yunxi, you are so thoughtful. I won't be polite to you."
Then he called to the two children: "Leizi, Yanzi, this is your Aunt Lin, hurry up and call for help."
Zhao Lei and Zhao Yan knew all about Lin Yunxi and her various deeds from the letters sent by their parents.
Therefore, they admired Aunt Lin, whom they had never met before, very much, especially Zhao Yan, whose eyes lit up after seeing her in person.
The two of them stood up respectfully and greeted, "Hello, Aunt Lin."
Lin Yunxi smiled and nodded: "Hello."
Then he went home without disturbing the family reunion.
At the dinner table, Zhang Hongmei kept putting meat and vegetables into the two children's bowls, telling them to eat more.
Zhao Lei and Zhao Yan went to the countryside in Northeast China, the coldest place in winter, and both of them had frostbite on their hands and feet.
Fortunately, the weather is warmer now and the wound has scabbed over, but Zhang Hongmei still feels very heartbroken.
The child is hurt, and the mother is heartbroken.
Before the two children went to the countryside, although the living conditions at home were not very good and every meal was simple, the children were never hungry.
