Sheng An Ning was amused by Mu Xiaowan, and when they were about to reach the gate of the compound, they ran into Zhou Chaoyang again.
Zhou Chaoyang sighed, a little surprised: "How come you two are together? I was looking for you, Xiaowan. My mom said she was stewing chicken at home and asked you to come over for dinner."
Now that they had reached the gate, Sheng Anning's heart was already racing, wanting to see Zhou Shixun as soon as possible.
Urged Zhou Chaoyang and Mu Xiaowan to stop chatting at the gate and go back quickly and talk when they got home.
Zhou Chaoyang joked: "Sister-in-law, are you anxious to see my eldest brother? My eldest brother is very busy now, and his three children are all climbing on him."
Sheng An Ning admitted generously: "I just miss you. Your eldest brother and I haven't seen each other for several days. It feels like a long time since we last met. Can you calculate how long it has been? Let's go, let's hurry up."
The three of them went back chatting and laughing, and Zhong Wenqing took Mu Xiaowan's hand and asked her about her well-being.
Sheng An Ning greeted them and happily went to sit next to Zhou Shixun. Just as Zhou Chaoyang said, the three children all climbed on Zhou Shixun.
With one child on each leg, An An was riding on his father's neck, laughing happily.
She looked so proud that even Sheng An Ning herself felt that the little girl was most like herself at this moment.
Looking at Zhou Shixun who was serious in front of others, Sheng Anning asked in a low voice: "You are not hurt, right? I heard from Xiaowan that you killed a bear? Aren't you afraid that the bear will slap you away with one palm?"
It’s scary to think about it. Although the bear may look clumsy, it is actually very agile. The force of one of its palms can crush an adult to pieces.
Zhou Shixun shook his head: "I'm fine. The bear is about to enter hibernation and its movements are much slower."
It's nothing compared to what they encountered when they fought back then.
Of course, Zhou Shixun would not tell Sheng An Ning about his past experiences.
During dinner, Sheng Anning quietly asked Mu Xiaowan for her opinion, and then told Zhou Nanguang and Zhong Wenqing about Zhou Luancheng and Mu Xiaowan's relationship.
Zhou Nanguang was not surprised. When he was in Shijia Village, he saw that Zhou Luancheng was very worried about Mu Xiaowan, and he repeatedly asked him to bring Mu Xiaowan back to Beijing safely.
If Mu Xiaowan goes to Nanshan to study, I will also send her to her teacher.
It was the first time he saw his son so nervous about a girl.
Zhong Wenqing was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand. After a while, he came back to his senses and called Zhou Nanguang in surprise: "Go, get some wine. Why don't you drink some wine on such a nice day?"
He reached out and took Mu Xiaowan's hand again: "Oh, I'm so happy that you want to be with my Luancheng. I was worried that he would be single for the rest of his life. Come over when you are free in the future. Tell us what you want to eat. Don't be polite or embarrassed."
In Zhong Wenqing's eyes, as long as you are dating, you will definitely get married.
So I immediately put myself in the role of the mother-in-law: "This will be your home from now on. You and Chaoyang Anning are both my children."
Mu Xiaowan was confused by Zhong Wenqing's enthusiasm and didn't know how to answer.
Zhou Chaoyang laughed at the side: "Mom, calm down, don't scare Xiao Wan again, but I like this second sister-in-law."
Mu Xiaowan's face turned red again when she was called "Second Sister-in-law".
Zhou Nanguang brought some wine, and Zhong Wenqing asked him to pour a glass for himself and Zhou Hongyun. Tears welled up in his eyes with joy. It was great that the children now all had their own place to belong.
Sheng Anning and Zhou Shixun also drank some wine.
After drinking, Zhong Wenqing talked a little more, and kept talking to Mu Xiaowan: "This will be your home from now on, and we are all your family. If someone bullies you outside, come back and tell me, and I will take care of him."
"Xiao Wan, don't be sad and don't take it to heart, because this is what my aunt really thinks. You have been without parents since you were a child. From now on, Luancheng's father and I will be your real parents. If you have any grievances, you can tell us."
"If you have a conflict with Luancheng, your father and I will definitely stand on your side."
Zhou Chaoyang saw her tears welling up as she spoke, and then saw that Mu Xiaowan was also moved and her eyes were red, so he quickly tried to persuade her: "What's the matter? Isn't this a happy thing? Why are you crying?"
"Mom, save these sentimental words for when my second brother and second sister-in-law get married. Now we are having a happy meal. Don't make my second sister-in-law cry just because my second brother is not here."
He called her "Second Sister-in-law" all the time and was very affectionate.
This made Mu Xiaowan feel embarrassed again.
Zhong Wenqing also felt that he seemed to be a little too excited, and began to talk about Zhou Chaoyang again and teased An An and the others.
The family had dinner happily.
No one even noticed that the phone was ringing. It was my aunt who answered the phone. She came over with a changed expression and called out to Zhong Wenqing, "Sister-in-law, it's a call from the hospital. They said Bei Qing is in the hospital."
No one has mentioned Zhou Beiqing for a long time, as if this person no longer exists in this family.
Zhong Wenqing was still a little confused because of the alcohol. He was stunned for a moment when he heard Bei Qing's name: "Who are you talking about? Bei Qing?"
Auntie nodded: "Yes, in the First Municipal Hospital. The hospital said Bei Qing needs surgery and needs family members to sign."
Everyone at the table who had been laughing and making noises just now fell silent. Zhou Nanguang's face turned serious. Zhong Wenqing stood there in a daze, his body trembling with fear.
But there was nothing Zhou Beiqing did wrong. He was the child she had carried for ten months and raised with great difficulty. Now that she heard that he needed surgery, she couldn't help but feel scared.
Zhou Chaoyang pursed his lips and lowered his head without saying a word.
Sheng An Ning didn't have any emotion, but was a little surprised. She didn't expect Zhou Beiqing to still be in Beijing. What kind of disease did he have? He actually asked his family to sign.
Zhou Nanguang came to his senses first and stood up: "I'll ask Xiao Zhao to drive the car over, and we'll go take a look together."
Zhong Wenqing also quickly stood up: "Okay, okay, let's go together."
Zhou Nanguang asked Zhou Chaoyang, who was about to stand up, to sit down again: "You guys stay home and take care of the children. Your mother and I will go over there."
After the two left, Zhou Chaoyang was worried: "I don't know what's going on with my sister, and whether my mother can bear it."
Speaking of which, she was still quite angry with Zhou Beiqing. She had done so many wrong things and had been gone for so long, but she didn't even think of writing a letter to her parents. Even if her parents wouldn't forgive her, if she had been sincere, she wouldn't have gone so long without any news.
Now that I’m sick, I know to look for my family.
Zhou Sheng'an Ning was just curious about what disease Zhou Beiqing had.
Zhou Nanguang and his wife had not returned until evening, and it seemed that Zhou Beiqing was still seriously ill.
The next morning, when Sheng An Ning went downstairs, Zhong Wenqing was already in the living room, sitting on the sofa wiping her tears. Zhou Hongyun was also sighing beside her, not knowing how to persuade Zhong Wenqing.
