Chapter 33: Fingers Intertwined (Page 1/2)
Not long after Zhao Shuxu came back, his two nephews and nieces who went to school also came back.
My older sister is in the third grade and her name is Zhao Youshu. My younger brother just entered the first grade this year and his name is Zhao Youhong.
Although Han Shiguo hasn't been back for several years, he just came to our house last time and had dinner before going back. All the young ones know his uncle.
"Uncle, is this my aunt?" Zhao Youshu said with a smile.
"Yes, your aunt." Han Shiguo responded with a smile and introduced Jiang Qian, "This is Youshu and Youhong."
"Hello, aunt-in-law!" Zhao Youshu greeted immediately, and Zhao Youhong followed suit.
Moreover, Zhao Youshu, the elder sister, was very good at talking. She looked at Jiang Qian with shining eyes and said, "Aunt, you are so beautiful!"
"Thank you, Youshu is also very beautiful." Jiang Qian smiled slightly.
This compliment made Zhao Youshu blush.
The last one is the naughty third child, the little nephew Zhao Yousheng who has not yet gone to school. He plays like a mud monkey.
He really won't come back until dinner time.
As soon as he got home, Han Shijia scolded him, "You little brat, you've been missing since this morning. Where have you been? And you're covered in dust!"
The gate to the compound was closed and we couldn’t go out, so we played inside the compound, so there was no need to worry about the children getting lost.
Just this dusty body is a very unusual achievement.
"Play marbles." Zhao Yousheng didn't care at all. He was very obedient and let his mother pat the dust off his butt. He was just five years old this year, which is the age when cats and dogs dislike him.
But when he saw his uncle, his eyes lit up, "Uncle!"
The reason why they were so happy to see their uncle was that he brought back two wooden rifles, both made of discarded bullet shells glued together, one for each of their brothers.
Little guy Zhao Yousheng was overjoyed. He took it out to show off that day, which made his friends very envious. But when he came back, he put it in his treasure box and didn't let anyone touch it.
Han Shiguo smiled and waved for him to come over.
Zhao Yousheng rushed into his uncle's arms like a little cannonball.
Han Shiguo picked him up and said with a smile: "My uncle has been here for so long and I haven't seen you. Where have you been?"
"At Monkey's place, Monkey was particularly envious of my wooden magazine of bullets..." He chattered in his uncle's arms.
Han Shiguo was very patient and touched the little guy's chubby forehead.
He felt that he was probably old enough, and when he looked at his nephews and nieces at home, as well as these nephews and nieces, he really liked them from the bottom of his heart and wanted to take them home to raise them.
But don't worry, he has a wife now. If he works hard after marrying her home, he will have his own baby next year.
Jiang Qian noticed the way he looked at her. How could she describe that look? It was very gentle!
And from the way he held the child and his attitude towards the child, she felt that this man would be a good father in the future!
Han Shijia took his son with a smile and took him away to wash his face and hands.
Zhao Shuxu, the third brother-in-law, has a lot to talk about with Han Shiguo.
But we'll be able to eat soon.
When Old Mrs. Zhao has nothing to do, she likes to cook. Her daughter-in-law, Han Shijia, will take over the kitchen chores, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along very well.
After having lunch at Lao Zhao's house and sitting for a while, Han Shiguo finally said goodbye and wanted to take Jiang Qian to see a movie.
Mrs. Zhao told him, "Don't buy anything next time you come. You bought something last time, and you bought something again this time."
"I don't come back often, so it's normal for me to buy some candy for Youshu and the others." Han Shiguo smiled.
"You just love them." Old Lady Zhao smiled and pulled Jiang Qian along, "Qianqian, come over to my house when you have time. I'm always at home, and when I go out I'm always at the neighbors'!"
