Chapter 74

Feng Nianjun's home is at the end of a bluestone road in the county town. It is a bungalow with a small courtyard. Although it has been in disrepair for many years and looks simple from the outside, it has the advantage of being a private house.

It was a bungalow with a built-in kitchen and toilet, and the yard was spacious, making it a comfortable place for a large family to live in.

When Cheng Liang first worked as a temporary worker at the grain station, there was no dormitory, so he could only walk for several hours to go home after work every day, and then set out for work in the county town before dawn the next day.

After marrying Feng Nianjun, he moved into his father-in-law's house. For this reason, many people said that Cheng Liang was marrying into the family without asking for money. However, few people knew that Cheng Liang wanted to apply for a dormitory and move out with his wife, or rent a house, but Feng Nianjun disagreed. She wanted to stay in the house. After all, her stepmother brought her stepson over, and Feng Nianjun was worried that if she moved out completely, everything in the house would belong to them.

After walking for a while, the group finally saw a small courtyard with adobe houses. Cheng Liang pushed open the door and turned back to introduce his eldest brother's family.

"I'm at home right now because my stepmother is here and my father is working at the grain station. I've taken a day off today. Yuanbao, Xiaohua, come out and see who's here."

Cheng Liang led everyone into the yard and ran into the two children behind the door.

"Hey, you guys are so active, waiting at the door? Don't you want to see your grandma?"

Yuanbao is six years old this year, and Xiaohua will be four soon. When the brother and sister first saw their grandmother, they rushed up to her, hugged her thighs and acted coquettishly.

Aunt Wang has been raising both children since they were born, so it goes without saying that they have a great bond.

"My Yuanbao and Xiaohua, look, grandma, they have really grown well again."

"Grandma! Why did you just come back?"

"You don't even come back to see us!"

"Oh my, isn't it coming?" Aunt Wang stroked the two children's faces, thinking about them after all. "Let grandma take a closer look, they have grown so tall in the blink of an eye."

Feng Nianjun helped put down the luggage of his eldest brother's family. He turned around and saw his son and daughter chatting with their mother-in-law. He asked them to meet his eldest brother's family. "Yuanbao, Xiaohuaer, your uncle, aunt and sister are here. Call them."

Aunt Wang pushed the two of them and urged them, "Hurry up, your uncle and aunt brought you some delicious food!"

Feng Nianjun held one in each hand and started talking again, "Don't you think your uncle is the best? You were talking about him before. Be sweet-mouthed later, okay?"

"Know!"

The two children stood in front of Cheng Zheng and Jian Lu, and took a sneak peek at the legendary uncle and aunt. They remembered that their uncle was a soldier, and was very powerful. Although they had never met him, they admired him very much. Every year, their aunt would send delicious food to their family, such as dried squid and dried abalone. They also remembered how kind they were.

Now I see that my uncle is tall and majestic, and my aunt is so beautiful that people are afraid to look at her.

"Hello, uncle and aunt!" The brother and sister greeted them obediently and received red envelopes from uncle and candies and cakes from aunt. The curves of their mouths became even bigger.

"This is your sister, the daughter of your uncle and aunt, named Shuangshuang." Feng Nianjun looked at his niece who had just come down from her mother's arms, and asked his two children to play with Shuangshuang. "Shuangshuang is still young, so you must take good care of your sister."

Yuanbao and Xiaohuaer both looked at Shuangshuang. This little dumpling was the bad guy who stole their grandma!!!

No, why is this big bad guy so small? He must be a little bad guy!

The brother and sister saw Shuangshuang's pair of eyes and saw that she was wrapped tightly. They whispered to each other and agreed to ignore her!

The two of them just took the red envelope from their uncle, and it would be bad to kick his daughter out, but it was impossible for them to take care of their younger sister!

They hate this little badass! They don't want to bother with her!

"Shuangshuang, these are your brother and sister, the children of your second uncle and second aunt that you just met." Jian Lu was busy introducing them to the young lady and asked her to call them.

This time, Shuangshuang didn’t hesitate at all. She was familiar with her brothers and sisters, and she really liked having brothers and sisters!

"Pot, untie it!" Shuangshuang's scarf was taken off by her mother, revealing her fair and tender little face. Her face was rosy, like a white apple with a hint of red.

As soon as he opened his mouth, a baby voice came out, which startled Yuanbao and Xiaohuaer.

"Pot, unblock it!" Shuangshuang was even happier. Someone was playing with her. She took a step closer to them, her bright eyes filled with the figures of her cousins.

Yuanbao and Xiaohuaer were originally prepared to put on a fierce look and teach this little bad boy a lesson.

But the little girl blinked her big eyes and looked at her, and her words were soft. Xiaohuaer looked away awkwardly and stuttered a little.

"I...you, don't come over here!"

After hearing this, Shuangshuang took a step closer to her cousin and directly took her hand.

"My name is Sangsang."

Xiao Huaer was being held by a pair of soft little hands, and she felt a gentle touch. No, "Isn't your name Shuangshuang? Why did you become Sangsang again?"

"My name is Sangsang." Shuangshuang didn't know what her cousin was talking about. Didn't the two words she said mean the same thing? They were both her own names.

Yuanbao walked over to Xiaohuaer, frowned, and said sternly, "She's just a child, she can't even speak clearly."

Xiao Huaer pulled her hand back, still thinking about the revenge of this bad little sister who stole her grandma away, "I know, brother, let's go to the kitchen to play!"

She doesn't want to play with this little bad sister!

"Hey..." Shuangshuang watched Guoguo and Jiejie run away, turned around and pulled the mother who was talking to the second aunt, "Mom, go and see Sister Guoguo."

"Go ahead." Jian Lu didn't expect that her daughter would adapt so well to her first long journey and became familiar with her cousins ​​in such a short time.

"Grandma! What are we having for dinner tonight?" Yuanbao and Xiaohuaer rushed into the kitchen and saw grandma and grandma talking.

Feng Nianjun's stepmother was named Chen Qiuxia. Her first husband died early, so she remarried to Feng Nianjun's father with her son and daughter. The days of rebuilding the family passed quickly, and more than ten years have passed in a flash.

"Mother-in-law, you went to that island, and you lived well?"

Aunt Wang smiled and nodded. "It's not cold there, just too hot. But the food is good. There's a lot of fish and shrimp, and lots of meat."

Aunt Wang and Chen Qiuxia were able to talk to each other in a friendly manner. Although the relationship between her second daughter-in-law and her stepmother was not alien, as a mother-in-law, she had no reason to interfere in other people's affairs and should just treat her as the mother-in-law.

As she was talking, her grandchildren came in and surrounded her to talk. Chen Qiuxia didn't have much affection for her two adopted grandchildren. Seeing that her grandmother had a good relationship with her grandchildren, she didn't care and was busy making a fire.

Tonight, the old man specifically instructed us to prepare a good meal to entertain Brother Cheng Liang and his family.

"Pot, unblock it!" Shuangshuang followed her cousin into the kitchen. When she saw grandma was there, she smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescents.

"Nuan~ Nuan~" He ran over with his hands open.

"Hey, Shuangshuang is here too?" Aunt Wang was annoyed by the heavy fumes in the kitchen, so she picked up her little granddaughter and walked out, and called her eldest and second granddaughters out, "You three can play together. Yuanbao, Xiaohuaer, Shuangshuang will be very happy to see her cousins ​​this time, so you should take good care of your sister."

Yuanbao and Xiaohuaer looked at each other and finally did not refute their grandmother's words. They wanted to be good children in front of their grandmother.

Aunt Wang gathered her three grandchildren together and went to the kitchen to busy herself. Feng Nianjun and Jian Lu in the yard simply looked around the house and went to the kitchen to help.

Jian Lu looked at her daughter again and was relieved to see that she was happy to have cousins. It was great that the child could integrate into the new environment.

Feng Nianjun saw that his son and his daughter wanted to slip away after the adults left, so he called them aside.

"Yuanbao, Xiaohuaer, you watch your sister. There will be braised pork in the evening. If you behave well, each of you can have one more piece. Also, if you behave well, each of you can have one piece of the egg cake that your aunt just gave you in the evening." Feng Nianjun was worried that the two children would be impatient, so he tempted them with the braised pork and egg cake.

"good!"

"knew!"

When they heard that there was the most delicious meat and egg cake, they immediately became excited!

"If you sneak out and don't look after your sister, all the food will be gone, understand?"

"I know."

As soon as the adults left, the three children sitting on the small benches looked at each other. Yuanbao and Xiaohuaer didn't want to pay attention to their cousin, but thinking of the braised pork in the evening, they didn't dare to leave. They just sat there and looked at Shuangshuang.

This is also taking care of them. Anyway, mom didn't say that they must play with her, so it's fine to just look after them.

The two were looked at by their older brothers and sisters, wondering why they weren't talking or playing.

She couldn't sit still, so she stood up and pulled the leg of the bench to move between her brother and sister, but her brother and sister moved to the side with gloomy faces.

Shuangshuang was puzzled and started moving by pulling the legs of the stool. He moved and she chased him. She moved and she chased him. They both pulled the legs of the stool from the left side of the main room to the right side, and finally got tired.

He was breathing heavily and grunting.

Yuanbao and Xiaohuaer looked at each other. Humph! She must have realized that the two of them disliked her and would not bother them anymore.

Shuangshuang, this little bad guy had better be sensible and stay away from them!

"Hahahaha, this is fun!" Shuangshuang suddenly giggled. She had never played like this before. It turned out that she could even run around by dragging the legs of the stool. "I, I, Sangsang has rested well. Let's start bia again~"

Yuanbao & Xiaohuaer: !!! Who let you rest?

No, who is playing with you?

This time, Shuangshuang found that her brother and sister did not run away. She put the stool away and sat down between her brother and sister.

"GuoGuo, what's your name, Sen?"

He called his brother but didn't say anything. Shuangshuang said to himself, "It seems to be Yuan Ben'er."

"No, my name is Yuanbao!" Yuanbao had originally decided not to speak, but how could this little girl change her own name? Too much!

"Jiejie, call me Xiaohuaer~Huaer~" Shuangshuang felt that she was very awesome. She tilted her head and stood in front of Xiaohuaer. The chubby white face appeared in front of her. "Right, Xiaohuaer Jiejie."

Xiao Huaer felt as if a glutinous rice dumpling appeared in front of her eyes, round and plump. Wow, she really wanted to touch it!

No, Xiaohua woke up and she really hated this little sister. How could she touch her? !

Xiaohua turned her face away, not wanting to pay attention to her talkative sister who was too noisy.

Shuangshuang chattered about her experience riding the train, eating meat, and seeing the snow outside the window...

As I was talking, I felt my mouth dry.

Shuangshuang patted Yuanbao Guoguo's arm and said righteously, "Guoguo, I want to drink some water."

Yuanbao: Who are you calling? !

"It can't be too hot, it needs to be warm water~" Shuangshuang looked at the pot and muttered about her request for water, "I have my own bowls and pots, you can pour it for me, pour it in."

Having said that, he looked at the pot with anticipation.

Yuanbao felt embarrassed when he saw the little girl's big watery eyes, as if he had made a mistake by not giving her water.

"Wait! I'll ask my mother to pour you some water." Yuanbao gritted his teeth and stood up. Forget it, he is a guest, I can't not even give him a sip of water.

"Oh!" Xiao Huaer felt that her brother was so useless that he actually went to pour water for the little girl!

She needs to cheer up, don't pay any attention to her.

"Little Flower, please untie me." Shuangshuang called in a baby voice, touching the half-loose little hair on her head with one hand, "Please sew my hair. My hair is loose~"

Xiaohuaer: "...I can't!"

A pair of clear eyes looked at Jiejie, as if they could speak, "Little Flower Jiejie, you can't, eh~"

Hearing that sigh, Xiaohua felt as if she was being humiliated. She rolled up her sleeves and wanted to prove herself.

"I'll do it!"

When Yuanbao returned to the main room with a bowl of warm water in his hands, he saw his sister braiding the little girl's hair.

He glared at Xiao Huaer with a look of disapproval and whispered, "Why did you tie her hair?"

Xiaohuaer carefully tied Shuangshuang's hair. She found that the little girl was too soft and was afraid of hurting her if she used too much force.

Rolling her eyes, Xiao Huaer looked at the bowl in her brother's hand and said, "Why don't you pour water for her?"

Yuanbao said nothing more and handed the small bowl to Shuangshuang, "Here you go."

In order to make himself appear serious, Yuanbao deliberately spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Yuanbao Guoguo, please feed me. The bowls are hot, hot. I can't hold them." Shuangshuang continued righteously.

Yuanbao pursed his lips, wondering if this little girl was going too far.

Jian Lu was busy in the kitchen for a while, then came out to see her daughter. As soon as she entered the main room, she saw Shuangshuang being served by her cousin.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are serving her. Yuanbao is feeding her water and Xiaohuaer is braiding her hair.

"Shuangshuang, why are you bothering our brother and sister so much?" Jian Lu walked over and saw the young lady looking up at her.

"Mom, go cook. I'll play with the pot."

At this time, the two brothers of the Cheng family, who had been smoking and talking in the yard outside, came back.

"Shuangshuang, why did your cousins ​​feed you water and tie your hair?"

Cheng Zheng looked at these children and felt happy.

"Dad! Guoguo and Jiejie are fine. Sangsang likes them."

Shuangshuang is a child who is not stingy in expressing her love. Her mother taught her to say what she likes. When she opened her mouth, Yuanbao and Xiaohua were stunned!

The two children blushed and pursed their lips. Who wants you to like it?

No, who is nice to you? We obviously hate you! Humph!

+++++

There is a sumptuous dinner tonight. Feng Jianqun, the head of the Feng family, is an accountant at the grain station. His family is well-off and he has a good impression of his son-in-law, his elder brother who is a soldier.

During the Anti-Japanese War, he was also preparing to join the army to fight, but unfortunately he was not selected at that time and missed his dream of going to the battlefield. Therefore, he admired Cheng Zheng, a soldier with a strong character.

Knowing that her son-in-law's eldest brother and his family and mother-in-law were coming back, Feng Jianqun asked an acquaintance at the meat processing plant to reserve three pounds of pork belly. The female comrades were busy preparing a sumptuous dish, including pork stewed with vermicelli, as well as three fresh vegetables, pot-wrapped pork, large rice noodles, stir-fried radish shreds, and stir-fried dried tofu with hot peppers.

When Feng Jianqun came back from work and saw Cheng Zheng in military uniform, he was very excited.

"Is this Captain Cheng?"

"Uncle Feng, just call me Xiao Cheng." Cheng Zheng was also humble and polite to his brother's father-in-law, especially when he went to his house for dinner, he even gave him two kilograms of candy and cakes.

"Come, come, sit down and eat!"

Most of the Feng family members are Feng Jianqun, who works as an accountant at the grain station, Cheng Liang is a regular employee in charge of the warehouse, Feng Nianjun is in charge of collecting grain at the grain station, and Feng Jianqun's later wife Chen Qiuxia takes care of the housework at home. Her son also got a temporary job in a meat processing factory through Feng Jianqun's relationship, and the daughter she brought with her got married a few years ago.

Everyone in the family has a job and they live a pretty good life.

Today, Chen Qiuxia's son Sun Yong has not returned home and is still working overtime at the meat processing factory. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, people are eager to buy meat, and it is the busiest time for the meat processing factory.

Sun Yong's wife came back from her parents' home with her two children. Sun Yong's son and daughter, Xiaogang and Xiaohong, did not get along well with Yuanbao and Xiaohuaer, and the four children often quarreled.

Just as they sat down at the table, Shuangshuang was taken by her mother to call her other two brothers and sisters. Shuangshuang was a good and obedient child, so she called them immediately. Yuanbao and Xiaohuaer felt uncomfortable when they heard it.

"Brother, she is such a bad girl! She actually called Xiaogang and Xiaohong brother and sister! I braided her hair for nothing!"

"Ignore her!" Yuanbao was also angry. He was feeding water to the little girl, but she turned around and called the other two people brothers and sisters!

"Come, let's eat. The food at home is not that great, please forgive me. Don't be polite, just treat it as your own home." Feng Jianqun raised his glass and clinked it with Cheng Zheng and Cheng Liang.

Cheng Zheng finished the drink in one gulp and said politely, "Uncle Feng, how can such a good dish be bad? It tastes great too. I've been thinking about eating this in the south!"

"Hey, then eat more!"

Jian Lu ate her meal while feeding her daughter. They both ate happily and their mouths never stopped.

Xiaogang and Xiaohong thought the little girl was cute and would tease her from time to time.

After the meal, everyone ate heartily. The dishes on the table were comparable to those on New Year’s Eve and no one was polite.

That night, Cheng Zheng couldn't refuse the hospitality and stayed at his second brother's father-in-law's house.

The sheets and quilts were ready, so Cheng Liang collected the two quilts sent by his elder brother early and laid them out directly.

Cheng Zheng and Jian Lu took their children to live in the east room. After a while of running around, Jian Lu finally slept on the solid earthen kang, and waves of warmth surged through her limbs.

"Mom, hey, why is this bed so hot?" Shuangshuang had never seen a bed like this before, and it was actually hot.

"This is a kang." Cheng Zheng tapped the kang with his fingers. This familiar earthen kang was exactly what he remembered. After staying in the south for so long, he seemed to have almost forgotten the cold north and the warm earthen kang.

"Kiang~" Shuangshuang also curiously imitated his father and knocked on the earthen kang, having fun playing with it alone.

"What's wrong?" Jian Lu lay on the kang and looked at Cheng Zheng from the side. The man's profile was handsome in the dark, but his eyes seemed a little melancholy. "It's a rare opportunity to go home, so you are filled with emotion?"

"A little bit." Cheng Zheng didn't hide it. He turned sideways to look at his wife, and pinched her arm with one hand, squeezing it back and forth, feeling very relieved. "I haven't been back for many years. That feeling is really different."

Jian Lu stretched out her hand slowly towards Cheng Zheng and lightly stroked his eyebrows with her fingertips. Cheng Zheng's eyebrows were thick and thick, like sharp swords slanting into his temples, adding a bit of momentum.

Gently tracing his eyebrows, Jian Lu said with a smile, "It's normal to be homesick."

Cheng Zheng held his wife's slender wrist, brought her hand down, placed it on his lips, and kissed it gently, "What about you? How do you feel about coming back?"

No matter what, he always felt guilty about his daughter-in-law leaving her hometown for four years just to marry him.

"It's okay, I just feel a little emotional." Jian Lu has actually only lived here for a month or two after traveling through time. It's hard to say that she has deep feelings for this place, but this is the first place she saw after traveling through time, so it's inevitable that she has some feelings for it.

Cheng Zheng thought his wife was still worried about Jian's parents, so he just comforted her softly, "Don't worry about your dad. Now that you're married to me, you're a member of our Cheng family, and your dad can't control you."

Jian Lu frowned, only caring about the first half of his sentence, "How come I am a member of your Cheng family?"

"What? You still don't admit it?" Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his lips curved up.

"Then are you mine?" Jian Lu stared at Cheng Zheng with her peach blossom eyes, softening his hard heart.

Cheng Zheng's deep and magnetic voice echoed in the darkness, "That's right."

"Ha~" A pair of tired eyes broke the charming look between mom and dad's eyes, and wanted to go to sleep with drowsy eyes, "Mom, go to sleep."

"Okay, come on, let's go to bed~"

Early the next morning, Cheng Zheng's family of four had breakfast and was about to leave. They had to take a donkey cart back to their home in the production team.

After bidding farewell to his second brother and his father-in-law's family, Cheng Zheng once again thanked Feng Jianqun for his hospitality. Jian Lu and Aunt Wang talked to Chen Qiuxia and his second brother's wife, while Shuangshuang said goodbye to the two children of Feng Jianqun's stepson.

"Let's get started. Goodbye."

"Goodbye, goodbye!" Xiaogang and Xiaohong waved to her.

Yuanbao and Xiaohua felt uncomfortable when they saw their little cousin talking to Xiaogang and Xiaohong.

"Brother, what happened to Shuangshuang? We have the same surname, but she actually defected to the enemy!"

"How heartless! You gave her water even though I was wronged!"

When the brother and sister were grumbling about their dissatisfaction, they both saw their cousin standing under the eaves, ran over and said with a smile, "Hot pot, bye~"

"Goodbye." Yuanbao couldn't tell the feeling in his heart.

Xiao Hua was direct, "Shuangshuang, you have to look carefully, we three are the ones with the surname Cheng, we are a family, those two over there are not!"

Shuangshuang was confused and looked around, totally lost.

"Anyway, you have to remember in the future that we two are closer to you than anyone else!" Xiaohua didn't want to be outdone.

Shuangshuang nodded, "I'll remember that. Will you return the pot to me next time and give me some water?"

Yuanbao nodded dejectedly.

"Untie the hair and tie it up~"

"Twist, twist, twist!" Xiaohua confirmed again, "Then who are you closer to?"

"Let's talk to Guo Guo about this!"

"Okay! You're obedient." Yuanbao touched Shuangshuang's little head. After all, everyone has the surname Cheng. No matter what else, they have to unite first!

The family set out from the county town, carrying their packages and getting on a donkey cart to go to the production team.

The appearance of the countryside gradually emerged. Jian Lu looked at the Daxing Production Brigade where she had lived for a period of time. She hugged her daughter and told her where her mother had been before.

Both of them listened with great interest, and when it was time to get off the donkey cart, they were reluctant to leave and wanted to say goodbye to the donkey.

The Cheng family was in the middle of the production team. Their house was a brick and tile house with a small courtyard. It was one of the best houses in the team. Of course, this was all thanks to the three sons in the family who were all very successful. Two of them were soldiers, and one worked in the county town with a good salary.

The third son of the Cheng family, Cheng Jun, and his family will have to wait for a few more days before they arrive.

"Oh, he's finally back!" Aunt Wang stood in front of her house and looked at him, almost in tears.

On the way back, the family met an acquaintance from the production team, greeted them and hurried home. This house had been uninhabited for a long time, and Cheng Liang was only allowed to go home occasionally to check on it, so he had to clean the house thoroughly.

After putting their luggage away, the family quickly started to clean up the house.

Aunt Wang came back, and the eldest son of the Cheng family, who had served in the army for many years, also came back with his family. When they met a few villagers on the road, their eyes almost popped out. They ran around to tell each other, and soon many people in the production team heard about it.

“Lulu!”

A clear female voice was heard outside the Cheng family's house. Jian Lu was sweeping the yard and felt that the voice was familiar.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Jian Lu saw her third sister Jian Xin, whom she had not seen for a long time.

Jian Xin has been married for four years and is no longer the youthful girl she once was. She has become a woman now. She has tied off her long braids from her girlhood and now has only two short braids.

He seems to be plumper, with more flesh on his face and a rosy complexion. I guess he is living a good life.

"Third sister!"

Jian Lu walked quickly forward and met Jian Xin again in front of Cheng's house.

Third brother-in-law Meng Fan has also shed the youthful look he had four years ago and has become much more mature. Jian Lu remembered that they had mentioned in the letter that Meng Fan has now entered the commune and has a bright future.

"Fourth sister." Meng Fan accompanied his wife to visit fourth sister's family. Meng Fan had just returned from leave from the commune. Jian Xin was at home all year round. The Meng family had many people and did not need her to work in the fields. For this reason, Jian Xin looked younger than her peers in the team and her health was also good.

"Third brother-in-law." Jian Lu took the time to greet him and turned around to continue chatting with her third sister.

Fourth sister’s mother-in-law, Aunt Wang, is an old acquaintance. They are all from the same commune, so Meng Fan greeted her familiarly.

The last one is my fourth brother-in-law.

Meng Fan looked at the muscular man who was a head taller than him, wearing a military uniform, with a straight posture and an extraordinary aura.

It had been many years since Meng Fan last saw Cheng Zheng from the same village. After years of military training and baptism on the battlefield, Cheng Zheng's aura was no longer comparable to that of the young people from the same village.

Cheng Zheng looked at his third brother-in-law and nodded. He found that this man kept looking at him, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Not far away, his wife and Meng Fan's wife were excitedly reuniting. Seeing Jian Lu smiling brightly, Cheng Zheng also curled his lips.

When he came to his senses, he opened his mouth and prepared to call for help.

"Brother-in-law." Cheng Zheng called smoothly.

"Brother-in-law...Oh, no, brother-in-law!" Meng Fan felt a little restrained looking at Cheng Zheng, especially when this man became his brother-in-law. He almost didn't call him that. He always felt that he was taking advantage of him, so he blurted out the word brother-in-law.

It's so embarrassing!

Meng Fan temporarily put aside the maturity and stability he had gained from six months of experience in the commune, clapped his hands on his forehead, and felt a little regretful. Why did he make the wrong call?

"Xiao Meng, do you remember that you had a fight with stones when you were a kid?" Aunt Wang watched these kids grow up. Now that each of them has their own family, how can she not be happy?

Meng Fan was shocked. He had fought with Cheng Zheng?

When he lifted his eyelids and looked at his brother-in-law's strong body, he couldn't help but admire his courage when he was a child.

"Third sister, judging from your appearance, you must be living a good life."

"Very good!" Jian Xin pulled her fourth sister to look around. This person had been in the south for more than three years, and she was even more beautiful than before. Even after giving birth to a child, she was still very beautiful.

Look at the baby in her arms, wrapped like a dumpling.

"This is Shuangshuang, right?!" Jian Xin asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Jian Lu shook her arms and said to the lady, "Shuangshuang, this is the third aunt."

Shuangshuang turned to look at her mother and asked in a baby voice, "Is Third Aunt Sen again?"

She still remembered that she had met her second aunt before, and now her third aunt came.

"Third Aunt is my mother's elder sister, Third Sister. You should call me Third Sister."

Oh~ Shuangshuang understood.

"Third Aunt~"

"Hey!" Jian Xin thought that this girl was really good-looking.

"Also, this is my third uncle." Jian Lu continued to ask the child to call people.

The first time Shuangshuang went back to her hometown, she found that she had to call so many people, including her second uncle, second aunt, third aunt and third uncle. Oh, it was so scary.

"Xinxin, I haven't seen you for a few years." Aunt Wang came over and exchanged a few words.

"Yes, Aunt Wang, are you feeling well? I see you look better."

"That's right. In the past, we didn't have to go out to work. We were so lazy that our bones almost softened."

"That's great. You should enjoy your life."

Jian Xin met her sister's in-laws and finally saw her long-famous brother-in-law.

Cheng Zheng used to be a well-known figure in the village. He served in the army and made great contributions in the war. He was also promoted to regiment commander. Countless people in the village envied him. Later, it was rumored that he was injured in the war. Many people felt that there was nothing to envy, and it was too dangerous to tie his head to his belt.

Who knew that this man would become his brother-in-law!

"Third sister."

Jian Xin suddenly felt a little overwhelmed when she heard Captain Cheng calling her like that. She just nodded hastily and called out, "Captain Cheng."

Jian Lu laughed when she saw her third sister like this. She showed her fear of Cheng Zheng on her face, "Third sister, just call me brother-in-law. We are family. Don't call me Captain Cheng. It sounds so strange!"

Cheng Zheng, who was several years older than Jian Xin, didn't care. He called her "third sister" smoothly, but it made Jian Xin panic.

While welcoming the guest into the house, Jian Lu joked that Cheng Zheng, despite his age, was quite able to call her "third sister" without blushing at all.

Cheng Zheng didn't mind. "We all look at the generation, not the age. Besides, the second and third sons of our Cheng family are older than you, so they still have to call you sister-in-law."

Jian Lu: “…”

She doesn't want to either!

In addition to Jian Xin and his wife, many other villagers came to the Cheng family one after another.

It was the cat's winter, the ground was frozen hard, and everyone had nothing to do and was just relaxing. Even the production team leader came here after hearing the news.

"Captain Cheng!" Captain Wei Xingde appeared with a cigarette in his mouth and shook hands cordially with Cheng Zheng.

The Daxing Production Brigade has such a team leader, it's amazing!

This person hasn't come back for many years. Everyone is jealous of him, but they don't have any special feelings because they don't see him. Now, looking at Cheng Zheng, who is tall and energetic in military uniform, there is a little more respect in their eyes.

"Captain, just call me Xiao Cheng. We're not in the military, so calling me Captain Cheng is too formal."

"Ah, Comrade Cheng Zheng hasn't changed at all, he's still as polite as when he was little!" Wei Xingde glanced at the villagers who came to Old Cheng's house to watch the excitement, especially at a group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old children, and said, "When you were your age, your Uncle Cheng Zheng went out to join the army and fight in the war. He's very capable. You should learn from Uncle Cheng Zheng."

"What the captain said makes sense, Ergou. Don't be so lazy every day. Learn more." said Ergou's mother.

Cheng Zheng was surrounded by a group of uncles and aunts from the production team. They asked him about his time in the army and about serving in the war. Jian Lu also had no time to get away.

She is the focus of attention of the ladies in the production team.

After all, Jian Lu was almost married off by Jian Hualin back then, and many people felt sorry for it. They felt sorry for Jian Lu's beautiful face, but who would have known that she would be engaged to the eldest brother of the Cheng family who had not been seen for many years.

What shocked the production team members even more was that a 20-year-old girl actually dared to travel so far and took the train directly.

No one knew about it after Jian Lu left that year, but everyone was secretly talking about it for a long time.

Some praised her for her ability to choose men, others said she had lost her mind and got engaged to a man who had not been seen for a long time. Some even thought she was too courageous. How could a young girl go to such a far place, especially to a deserted island? She might come back crying after a month.

Who would have known that after waiting for a long time, Jian Lu never came back crying, but now, she came back, smiling.

Looking at her again, her lips are red and her teeth are white. She looks younger than she was four years ago. It's obvious that she hasn't worked under the scorching sun. I wonder how she managed to stay so well-maintained.

"Lulu, why did you come back just now? Have you forgotten about your aunts?"

"I told you from the beginning that it was right for you to marry the eldest son of the Cheng family. You can marry a city guy, and it would be even better if you marry a group leader!"

"Look at this white and tender face. How can it be compared to us? We dig for food in the fields every day, so our hands and faces are so rough."

Jian Lu was surrounded by a crowd of people, who were all surprised and envious. Secondly, they felt that Jian Lu was no ordinary person. Cheng Zheng seemed to have a future. Jian Lu was now the wife of the head of the group, and there was no telling how far she could go in the future. It made sense for her to spend more time with this family and build a good relationship with them.

Therefore, these words are 50% sincere and 50% deliberate. In short, they are said as nicely as possible.

Not only Jian Lu, but everyone was generous in their praise for the two-year-old Shuangshuang.

Shuangshuang's face turned red.

"This little girl is so pretty, how did she grow up?"

"She's prettier than the ones in the old New Year pictures."

"They really look alike. They look like Captain Cheng and Jian Lu. It's true that the children are like their parents. The whole family is good-looking."

She clapped her hands on her face and felt her little face getting hot. She didn't know why there were so many people here today. Everyone was looking at her and laughing, and praising her.

Although she was complimented every day, when she met uncles and aunts in the family compound, she would be complimented, and she was also complimented on the train, but now there were too many people and she felt a little embarrassed.

Most of the villagers came to talk, and when they saw the Cheng family coming back to clean the house, they also helped. With more hands, there is more strength, and the house and yard were cleaned in a short while.

"Mom...Mom..." Shuangshuang sat on her mother's lap and called softly, "There are so many people."

"Yes, it's all the mothers-in-law and grandfathers." Jian Lu felt that everyone was too enthusiastic, but she couldn't drive them out, so she could only respond with a smile. It's just that there are too many people here, and she was worried that her daughter would feel uncomfortable, so she winked at her mother-in-law, Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang and her daughter-in-law had a tacit understanding and cleared their throats immediately.

"Lulu, Shuangshuang drank too much water, take her to the toilet." Aunt Wang asked the two women to go out for some fresh air so that she could talk to the old sisters.

"Okay." After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Jian Lu finally had a reason to leave. She said to the aunts, "I'll take Shuangshuang out first, and you guys can continue chatting."

"Go quickly, don't hold the baby back."

Shuangshuang felt it hard. She clearly didn't want to vomit. But when her mother carried her outside, the air suddenly became fresh. She didn't care. She didn't want to go back.

Jian Lu took Shuangshuang to play in the yard in front of Cheng's house, and Jian Xin followed them out. The two sisters had just met and were interrupted by the villagers who poured in before they could say a few words.

"Third sister, how have you been doing recently? Where are the eldest and second sisters?"

Seeing that her fourth sister was happy, Jian Xin said to her, "My eldest sister knew that you came back in the past few days. She wanted to come to see you right away, but her husband's family is having a wedding today, so she probably won't be able to come until dark. My second sister should be able to hear about your return tomorrow."

As the two sisters were talking, Jian Lu would occasionally glance at Shuangshuang who was squatting on the ground beside them watching the snow, and would remind her from time to time to be careful not to slip.

Shuangshuang looked at the snow on the ground, it was white and really beautiful. They touched it gently with their little hands and found it was still soft. They grabbed a handful and began to study it.

"Is this girl Shuangshuang?"

A middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of Shuangshuang. He looked grim. When they heard him ask their names, they nodded.

"Who is that?" Shuangshuang was sure that she didn't know him.

"I'm your grandma!" When Jian Hualin heard that the fourth girl had returned with the group leader Cheng Zheng, he hurried to the Cheng family.

He was angry. This fourth girl had no filial piety or manners at all. The first thing she did after returning home was not to go back to see her parents. He had to come here in person. If it weren't for the fact that Cheng Zheng was the head of the group, he would not have tolerated this.

Old Coconut? The eyes are rolling around? What is Old Coconut?

Really old coconuts? She likes coconuts!

"Not much." She found that the old coconut was staring at her, which was weird. She both disliked him.

"How did your mother teach you? Even your grandma doesn't know?" Jian Hualin secretly spat, and was even more dissatisfied with Jian Lu, "Let's go find your mother!"

Having said that, he reached out and pulled Shuangshuang into the house.

"No~"

Shuangshuang looked at the old man warily, remembering what they heard on the train. They immediately stepped back a few steps, turned around and ran on their short legs, "Mom, Dad, someone is kidnapping me, wuwuwu, so fierce, he wants to capture me!"

Many of the elders and villagers were sitting in the Cheng family's house. When they heard about the kidnapper, their faces immediately changed. How dare he come to our production team to kidnap children? Did he not want to live?
