red flag brigade.

The young man in the white sweater raised his gold-rimmed glasses and walked briskly.

When we got home, we went to the living room first and warmed our hands around the newly lit stove.

When the dampness on his body faded a little, he turned to the person opposite him and said, "Why do you come back earlier than me every day?"

"Aren't you working in an office? You have to hold meetings of all sizes after get off work, but we leave as soon as the time comes.

Being an ordinary worker isn't as bad as you think, right? "

Dawei ignored his weird tone and asked, "Where's Zhou Ermei? I heard there was a letter from Beijing. What did it say?"

After a moment.

The three of them held their bowls and chopsticks, studying the contents of the letter while eating.

Xiaoyong chewed on his chopsticks and pondered for a while, "So, this year's New Year, my parents are separated again? Then should we go back to the island or Beijing?"

"Again?" Zhou Ermei seized on this word, "Has it happened before?"

Xiaoyong nodded, "My parents are rarely together. In the past, my father was often on missions, and now my mother is often busy outside."

"…Going to Beijing?"

Dawei looked at her and said, "You're not going to deliver goods to the island?"

Zhou Ermei hesitated for a moment and said, "We can also discuss sales in Beijing."

"This is a mess..."

Zhou Ermei changed the subject: "So, where should we go back for the New Year?"

Xiaoyong took out a coin and said, "How about, let God decide? The front side goes to the island, the back side goes to Beijing, 50-50, very fair."

The couple nodded.

Xiaoyong threw the coin up and it landed on the table. It was...

A hand turned the coin over.

Became the back.

Xiaoyong looked at his brother numbly. The latter looked up at the beams, pointed at the spider webs on them, and said to Zhou Ermei, "Should we clean up before we leave?"

Zhou Ermei raised her head and said, "Let's come back and clean up."

"Too……"

"Fourth brother!"

"What?" Dawei responded unhappily.

Xiaoyong's chest rose and fell. "I'll toss it again. You are not allowed to cheat again!"

Dawei neither nodded nor shook his head.

Xiaoyong threw the coin up again, and when it landed on the table, it was...

This time it was a hand that was used to doing farm work. Although it looked rough, it was smaller than half of David's palm.

Xiaoyong looked at Zhou Ermei numbly, who said, "You only forbade your brother to cheat, but you didn't say I can't cheat."

Dawei patted Xiaoyong on the shoulder and said, "Accept your fate. We are a couple and we can work together to achieve our goals. There is no possibility of what you call fairness and justice."

Decided, let’s go to Beijing!

island.

Zhou's mother is getting older and her memory is getting worse, so she starts packing things half a month in advance, and even adds a few waistcoats to the little goldfish jackets she remembers in the middle of the night.

Every time her youngest son was at home, he would stare at her with a pair of resentful eyes, making her scalp tingle.

On the eve of leaving, Zhou's mother couldn't stand him staring at her at home all day on her holiday, so she threw clothes at his face and said, "Don't you have your own business to do?! Why do you stare at us grandchildren all day long?!"

"mother……"

"Don't call me mom, I don't have a son like you!"

"Oh, you used to tell everyone that I was your pride."

Zhou's mother was ashamed of what she had said, "I was wrong! I was wrong!"

"Hey, Mom, you are old now. Don't get angry. It's not good for your health."

"You also know that I get sick easily when I get angry!"

"Well, the long journey isn't good for you either."

"You also...wait, what do you mean?"

"Since we're there, let's just stay there."

"Um?"

"We will get a reply by the end of the year at the latest. I will be transferred to the Beijing Municipal Commission of Development and Reform."

Zhou's mother looked at Shuhui, who was knitting a sweater and seemed a little dazed, and said nothing more.

Night.

Zhou Wu wanted to hold Shuhui in his arms. He just held her in his arms, but he would not do anything bad. After all, he had gone too far a few days ago, and she was not fully healed yet.

Shuhui pushed him and said, "I heard today that my father-in-law applied to go to Beijing."

Zhou Wu did not move forward and said, "Yes, that is true. Didn't we know this a long time ago?"

"The transfer order will be issued at the end of the year. Grandma took my younger sister to Beijing this time and she won't be coming back..."

"Ah? It's coming out at the end of the year? Grandma and little sister won't come back?" Zhou Wu's eyes were a little sluggish.

There were only a few people in the family to begin with, and Mom must be in Beijing to accompany Great Grandma. Once Grandma and Little Goldfish left, it seemed that he was the only one left on the island?

Now he is twenty-two years old, and has long passed the age where he is afraid to leave home, but he suddenly heard that his whole family has gone to Beijing, leaving him alone on the island?

It would be a lie to say I'm not panicking.

"I'll ask tomorrow. Go to bed early."

Shuhui nodded and turned over and over in bed.

Zhou Wu also didn't sleep well.

The next day, he went out with Zhou Ze'an and pretended to be casual and asked, "Dad, your transfer order came down at the end of the year?"

"What do you want to say?" Zhou Ze'an glanced at him indifferently, without much emotion.

He treated everyone like this, including his adopted sons and daughters.

Before marrying Qiao Yu, he still wanted to protect his adopted children. But after falling in love at first sight, he put all his heart on Qiao Yu and even thought that having five children was a hindrance.

After all, when they were young, he had to be more careful in what he did and couldn't just listen to Qiao Yu's breathing as he pleased.

Having children brings many inconveniences. The house is not soundproof.

It's still the happiest world for two people.

"So I'm the only one left on this island?"

"...Don't you have Chen Shuhui with you? She is your daughter-in-law."

Zhou Wu straightened his chest and said, "Without you and mom, who can control me? Aren't you and mom afraid that I will cause trouble?"

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!

Old Zhou looked down on him: "You are already an adult, and you are still causing trouble?"

"Am I not your eternal child in your eyes?"

"Be a man, have some dignity."

"dad!"

Old Zhou was annoyed by the pestering and said, "Okay, if you get into trouble next time, no matter how far away you are, I will help you clean up the mess, okay?"

"Is this what I want?"

"So what do you want?"

"I want to be transferred to Jing City!"

Old Zhou paused, staring at him with his hawk-like black eyes, and slowly rolled up his sleeves, "Have you forgotten the mixed doubles match between Xiaoyu and I against you?"

Zhou Wu shuddered and said, "Then you have greater authority, so can't you transfer me to the reunion during the New Year..."

"Using my public office for private matters, do you think my career is over?"

"..."

Lao Zhou warned, "Stay on the island and behave yourself. If you have any bad thoughts again, Xiao Yu and I will no longer recognize you."

Night.

Zhou Wu hugged Shuhui, and the tough guy burst into tears, "Why is my father so cruel..."

After listening to his crying, Shuhui remained indifferent: "Who told you to ask these questions?"

"Um?"

"Your current military rank is not high enough for your family to accompany you. Once my father-in-law leaves, can I still stay on the island?"

Oh my god!

Can’t I hug my wife every night?!

I couldn't tell whether it was more serious, not being able to be with my parents during the Chinese New Year, or not being able to hug my wife every night.

Zhou Wu's ears were buzzing and his head was a mess. He realized that it would be impossible for his parents to reunite during the New Year. He quickly went to resolve the issue of his father joining the army before his father was transferred!

"Hey, there's no rush. Tomorrow morning..."

Looking at the man's crazy back, Shuhui knew she couldn't stop him and chose to cover her head and go to sleep.

Whatever you want.

Old Zhou had just fallen asleep when he saw Qiao Yu waving at him and was pulled back to reality by Zhou Wu.

Old Zhou looked blankly at the sky outside the window, then looked at the grinning Zhou Wu.

He looked at the grinning Zhou Wu again, and finally glanced at the dark color outside the window.
