"Hey, who's this handsome guy?" Zhang Guoqing grinned when he saw Ping An. "Is he on vacation? Why did you come out to pick up your dad?"
Ping An put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Dad, stop pretending. How could you not have gotten the news in advance? You didn't even tell my mom. Aren't you afraid she'll be mad?"
"Surprise, understand?" Zhang Guoqing glanced at his son and patted his chest with satisfaction, "Thank goodness he's still alive and kicking."
"Why did I hear Secretary Chen say my mom went to Tanzhe Temple? Did May Day make her angry? Or is she unhappy that we didn't come back?"
Zhang Guoqing whispered in her ear, "Listening to the sound of Zen in the ancient temple, the pure snow melts away the mundane world. Do you understand? Your mother said she needs to adjust her mindset, so don't expose her."
"You're not going to become a nun, are you? Dad, did you make my mom mad?"
Zhang Guoqing reached out and patted him on the head, "Yes, it's you bastards. How could your father, such a good man, make your mother angry?"
Ping An grabbed him with one hand, hugged him and walked with a smile, "Yes, yes, my dad is a perfect man."
"Your mother is fine. Don't be distracted when you go on a mission. Don't worry, your father is at home. The only ones who can disturb her mind are you three brothers. As long as you are safe, she will be at ease."
"Well, from now on, Liuyi and I will take turns to go home and spend time with you. Dad, I'm sorry."
"Silly son! Never say these three words to your father." Zhang Guoqing sighed secretly, "If you have the chance, persuade your two brothers to stop pushing themselves too hard."
"We understand, Dad. Don't worry, we still want to be with you until we grow old."
"Hahahaha...you're my good son!"
Ping An laughed and hugged his father tightly. His father was too easily satisfied. Shouldn't he take this opportunity to make some more suggestions and complain?
A passing soldier chuckled to himself: "Who would have guessed they were father and son? They're so close, like brothers!"
fork in the road.
The two good friends were strolling slowly with briefcases under their arms. One of them was not paying attention and glanced at the pair of "brothers" walking slowly behind them.
Yi Jiefang suddenly turned around and stood there, waiting for the father and son to come over.
"Uncle Yi, are you always admiring the scenery?"
“What a shitty view!”
"Yeah, buddy, do you see what's going on?"
"Of course I have. I'm just waiting for something to happen." Yi Jiefang rolled his eyes at the unscrupulous father and son with amusement. "I say you're almost done. It seems like you're the only one with a son."
Zhang Guoqing glanced at him sideways, "You have a son in his twenties?"
Yi Jiefang was choked by his words and laughed angrily, "Shameless asshole, how can you compare like this?"
"Why not?"
"I won't argue with you. Where is my Liuyi?"
"We just went to pick up my mom. We two won't bother you anymore." Ping An hugged his father and deliberately raised his leg to leave. "You can have fun slowly."
"If you keep teasing your Uncle Yi, he'll take action." Zhang Guoqing grabbed Yi Jiefang with one hand and laughed happily, "Let's go, I'm looking for you."
"I'd go to your house even if you didn't tell me. Now that Liuyi is back, shouldn't you return my daughter to me?"
"We're brothers, so what?" Zhang Guoqing resolutely refused to respond. "The wind is really strong, brother. You're weak, do you want me to give you a coat?"
"Don't come on, you're already old, be careful not to get a runny nose from the cold."
"You're still the best, you're such a good brother."
Even if it's not enough for a buddy, it has to be enough. Who let his son kidnap someone's sweetheart? "What do you want to eat tonight? Steamed crab with glutinous rice, spicy crayfish, and a nourishing soup?"
The foodie was successfully diverted to another topic. "That's great! Add more ham to the steamed crab with glutinous rice, and add more spicy sauce to the crayfish. Stop dawdling, hurry up."
"What's the rush? Drink some northwest wind first."
…
When Zhou Jiao and her son stepped into the house, the air was filled with a strong fragrance. Hearing the laughter coming from the living room, the mother and son smiled in disappointment.
"My grandma is really happy today."
"She missed you. As soon as the weather got cold, she thought of sending clothes to you two brothers." Zhou Jiao nudged her son and said, "Go in and chat with your Uncle Dayi first."
"Mom, you should go in and calm down first."
"No need, you take good care of mom. Take the quilt inside. I'm going to the kitchen first. You grown men shouldn't go in there."
Liuyi put his arm around her and pulled her in. There was no need to talk so much, action was faster.
"Hey, son." Zhou Jiao smiled and patted him. "Spend more time at home with Xiaotanger these two days and go out for a walk. Don't worry about me and your grandma, understand?"
Liuyi laughed out loud for a moment.
Zhou Jiao heard the voice coming from the kitchen and smiled, "It's time to have an aunt at home. We can't always let the two girls come to the house to do the work."
"Okay, pick an aunt you like." Liuyi lifted the door curtain, "Huh? My grandpa is back too."
"Your father must have wanted to surprise me. They all got the letter in advance."
"You guessed it right again." Zhang Guoqing pulled her over from behind the door, his eyes fixed on Liuyi as he sized her up. "Well, not bad. Rest at home for two more days this time."
"Dad, my mom is freezing." Liuyi hurriedly pushed his parents inside. "She's riding her scooter to work again."
"What's going on? It's so cold!"
Liuyi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his father's attention diverted. He looked at him again and saw that his mother had sharp eyes. It would be strange if she wasn't nervous.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial.
He was already unfilial and couldn't fulfill his filial duties to his mother, and he didn't want to make her worry. Thinking of this, Liuyi looked at his parents' backs with an apologetic look.
"Grandpa, Grandma." Liuyi walked towards Miao Lishan who was waving at him, sat down between them, and looked at Yi Jiefang. "Uncle, I'll have a couple of drinks with you later."
"I heard you were a representative at the year-end awards ceremony. Did you accomplish something great again?"
Liuyi coughed quickly to interrupt him, "Why didn't my aunt come?"
"I just called." Ping An, who was pouring tea, immediately took over the conversation. "Aunt said she has guests at home, so she won't come. Uncle, have a couple of extra drinks tonight, and I'll have Liuyi take you home later."
Miao Lishan touched Liuyi's hand and said, "You're wearing so little, aren't you cold? Have you eaten the food that grandma sent over? Your mother cooked it herself."
Liuyi smiled at her comfortingly, "Grandma, I'm strong and not afraid of the cold. As soon as the things arrived, everyone grabbed them all. They all said that my grandma loves me."
"So the comrades are all easy to get along with? That's good. I was just worried that since you're the youngest, you wouldn't be able to control them. When you're on leave, bring your comrades back to visit us."
"Okay." Liuyi nodded decisively. Agree first, then talk. Who can compare to family?
As for whether it will scare his comrades?
Truth cannot be hidden. Regardless of whether those guys from Jiangbei will reveal their true intentions, some shrewd guys are probably already suspicious.
Ping An glanced at him with pity in his eyes: "What a pity for you two brothers!" But their younger brother was the happiest, living a colorful life abroad.
