Chapter 199 Family Reunion
Seeing that everyone in Old Zhou's family had returned to the backyard, Jin Qiaofeng also went back with the basin. Er Nengzi happened to be packing things in the room and didn't pay much attention.
"Mom, do you want to eat?"
"Son, do you know? The eldest of the Zhou family is back!"
Ernengzi and Zhou Zhixi are about the same age, but the boy has been smart since he was young. He could even take the college entrance examination and was a famous student in their school.
Maybe God is fair and you can only choose one between IQ and EQ.
Zhou Zhixi speaks without thinking, he just says whatever comes to his mind, and sometimes the words that come out of his mouth can make people angry to death.
And the interesting thing is that this person said the most irritating words in a serious and sincere tone.
Originally, this person could have made a living with his brain. He entered his supervisor's laboratory before graduation and could have easily won the rest of his life.
Unexpectedly, when the movement started, I found a partner for myself who came from a capitalist family, and I almost lost my job.
In the end, no one knew how the Zhou family managed it, but they took the initiative to send the person to the Northwest, and Hu Tou was brought back to the compound and raised for several years.
"What? Zhou Zhixi? Isn't he and his wife planting trees in the Northwest? Is he back to visit relatives?"
"Who knows? Looking at Zhang Dazui's expression, I don't know if he's done something wrong again."
"No way, it's not easy to run back from the Northwest."
"Forget it, let's eat first."
…
Diao Yulian prepared dinner in the backyard. Seeing that her beloved son had not come back for dinner yet, she took a rag and prepared to go out to call for help.
Just as I walked to the door and opened my mouth wide to shout for help, I heard the door next door slam shut and the birds perched on the eaves were scared away.
"Who are you? What's going on in broad daylight?"
"Jiabao, my god, Jiabao, come back for dinner."
"Here I come."
…
After returning home, Lin Xiaotong rushed into the kitchen. Gao Xiulan was beating the cucumber with a kitchen knife.
"Mom, does Aunt Big Mouth have another eldest child in her family?"
"Yeah, what's the matter, have you seen this person?"
"Mom, didn't you hear me? I just ran into him at the entrance of the alley."
"It's not a festival, he can't be back to visit relatives, right? Besides, they won't let him go easily."
Gao Xiulan looked at Xie Da Jiao, who was tickling Xie Xiaoju with a fire poker.
Xie Da Jiao wasn't upset at being seen. Instead, she pondered, "Could it be that he's been rehabilitated? Didn't Old Zhou mention that someone came back last year?"
"That's possible. Zhixi has been in the Northwest for many years. He can be considered to have finally made it out of poverty."
Lin Xiaotong picked up a cucumber with her chopsticks and added, "His wife also came back, but they didn't look very energetic."
"You must be tired after coming back from the Northwest, but there's no word about this. Judging from the look of Big Mouth, he doesn't know anything either."
"You know what kind of temper Zhixi has. He's quite fierce."
"Xiu Lan, eat that melon later. I knocked on them one by one today. It's definitely a good melon."
Xie Da Jiao took a long detour to another supply and marketing cooperative to buy them. The vines were all emerald green and not wilted at all.
He also likes to tap melons with his fingers, and the one that makes a "bang bang" sound is a good melon.
"Okay, eat half and save the rest for dinner."
When Lin Xiaotong brought the dishes back to the main room, she glanced at the door opposite. The door was closed and she didn't know what was going on inside.
It was quiet, as if a storm was brewing.
The Zhou family's home was indeed dead silent. Hu Tou looked at his grandpa's expressionless face, then ran to his grandfather Zhou Jianguo's arms with his tail between his legs, looking for a sense of security.
When the silly second son Zhou Zhiwen came back, he was holding a big watermelon in his pocket. He entered the backyard and found that his door was closed, so he kicked it open.
He was greeted with an open-mouthed death stare, one foot still suspended in mid-air.
"What's going on? A trial by three judges? Dad, I haven't done anything wrong recently, right?"
"Close the door quickly."
Zhang Dazui looked at the brainless boy, waved his hand, and asked someone to close the door.
Zhou Zhiwen also became dispirited and walked more lightly. He put the watermelon aside and stood aside.
Only then did he notice that there were two more patched people in the house, giving Tiger Head electric looks with their eyes.
Zhang Dazui saw that all the family members had arrived, so she lowered her head with a stern face and drank a few sips of water handed to her by her husband Zhou Jianguo.
"Boss, what's going on? Why are you back at this hour, and bringing your wife with you?"
She knew that her eldest son was a erratic person, and she was afraid that he would sneak back, so she hadn't sent any news before he came back.
Zhou Zhixi's words can make people angry to death: "They asked me to come back, so I came back."
After saying that, he glanced at the big round watermelon on the ground.
"Forget it, stop talking. Xiaowan, you go ahead and do the talking."
Tong Wan told everything in one sentence, in a calm and steady tone.
"Mom and Dad, a few days ago the manager of our place called Zhixi and me over and handed us a letter."
"It was sent back by the old professor who previously took Zhixi in. He said that work needs us and he temporarily transferred us back."
"We rushed to book the fastest train, but before we left, Zhixi sent a letter home."
After hearing this, Zhang Dazui felt relieved. Fortunately, one of the couple had a normal mouth.
Zhou Zhiwen interrupted: "Brother, where did you send this letter?"
Zhou Zhixi took it for granted: "I sent it to you, and it said your high school."
"Brother, have you forgotten that I graduated eight hundred years ago?"
"I forgot."
The main reason is that Zhou Zhiwen was in high school when Zhou Zhixi left.
"Okay, it's good that you're back. Come on, eat quickly and wash up afterward. Look at how tattered you are."
"Brother, you're dressed like the leader of the Beggars' Sect."
"Xiao Wan suggested that I wear something a little tattered. I borrowed some from the uncle in the cowshed. Even the kidnappers didn't dare get close to me."
Tong Wan twitched the corners of her mouth, but the journey back was indeed quite smooth this time.
They could only buy hard seats, and when they got on the train, Zhou Zhixi squeezed her into the carriage wearing tattered and pickled clothes. When he went to get hot water, people stood eight feet away from him.
When she woke up at night and heard some strange noises, she quietly opened her eyes a crack, but the thieves didn't even look over here.
"You're already an adult, but you're still so out of tune. Fortunately, Tiger Head is not like you."
When Tong Wan saw her own child, her eyes were as gentle as water.
Hu Tou felt a little shy when his mother, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, looked at him. He held his grandfather's big hand to cover his face and glanced at her through the gap between her hands.
"Cui Lian, let's eat. The children are hungry."
"OK."
After dinner, Zhou Zhixi and Tong Wan also took a good bath with warm water. Their rooms happened to be next to the main hall of the Wu family next door.
Zhang Dazui cleans the house on weekdays. You can just take out the thin summer quilts and mats and move in.
After several days of traveling, I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow.
After the person fell asleep, Zhang Dazui came in quietly and put a thin blanket on the person's stomach.
After taking a few glances, he quietly closed the door and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes when he left.
She had been waiting for many years, and finally the whole family was back.
No matter how trivial the matter was in the compound, it could not be concealed. Soon, several families knew that the eldest son and his wife of the Zhou family had returned.
However, no one came out the whole afternoon. Jin Qiaofeng sneaked into the backyard several times. The west room was quiet, so she slipped back in her slippers.
