After Long Xin climbed onto the swing chair, she rocked the table with her feet. After hearing Zhou Xiang's words, she immediately said, "I want to cool down."
"good!"
Zhou Hua also saw his aunt's family. He hadn't seen them for more than two years, so not only did he feel a little unfamiliar with them, but they hadn't been very close before. However, the blood ties were still there, so he opened his mouth to call everyone and introduced Zuo Heng, who followed suit.
Jiang Weifang knew him. She had heard Xiangxiang say that living with Zhou Hua made him a good caring person.
Jiang Weifang responded enthusiastically and praised the boy a few times, almost making him feel embarrassed.
"Just continue with your homework! Don't worry about us."
Zhou Xiang took out two bottles of cold soda and one bottle of room temperature soda.
"My uncle drinks this at room temperature, and Xinxin and my aunt drink this well water."
"Okay! Sit down! Stop busying yourself."
Zhou Xiang sat next to Long Xin, "Xinxin, do you still remember Fourth Sister?"
"Of course I remember. I'm pretty good at skateboarding now, but unfortunately my mom won't let me bring it. She says it's too hard to carry and has too much stuff."
"Don't worry, we have some at home. Your third brother and brother Zuo Heng both have them, but they've been borrowed. Go to the front yard tomorrow morning and intercept them."
"Is that the front yard where all the people are gathered? I heard some people cheering. I wonder what they are doing?"
"Yes! It's right there. You can take a rest today. Tomorrow, ask Brother Xie Zhuang to take you out to play. He's also very good at playing."
"Okay! I'll just take a good rest today."
Zhou wanted to rub her head.
Long Chao watched the interaction between the two sisters with a smile.
"Aunt, are you from grandma's place?"
Jiang Weifang nodded. "We arrived at the county town yesterday. Your grandmother is being taken care of very well. By the way, I paid Sister Lu a few months' salary. What have you been busy with recently? Your grandmother said you haven't been there since you came back during the first month of the lunar year."
"I'm very busy. I'm going to the county town to attend junior high school in the second half of the year, so I'm not in a hurry to go there. How is my uncle-in-law doing?"
"Very good. In the past few months, I only had an attack once in the spring when there was a lot of pollen. It was very mild and I didn't need to be hospitalized. I haven't had it since then, but the dried fruits are gone." After Long Chao finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Xiang expectantly.
Jiang Weifang laughed when she heard about dried fruits. "Your uncle-in-law! He hid the dried fruits all over, afraid that I would see them. What else do you have at home that I don't know about? He couldn't resist my questioning and told me. Come to think of it, I am very grateful to you!"
As soon as this semester ended, we were transferred to Beijing, which was quite close to the courtyard, just two stops away. So, after packing up for a month, we couldn't wait to come back.
I came back to share my joy and see the changes in my family over the past two years. From now on, I will have less time to come back."
"That's right. Xinxin officially starts school this semester, and you guys have settled down. You can visit the Long family more often when you have time."
Jiang Weifang nodded. "That's right. By the way, this time, I want to take your grandmother with me. I think Sister Lu is very nice, so I want to take her with me. Your grandmother likes her very much, and I don't need to find a nanny. I will give her double salary."
"As long as you think it's feasible, I've told Aunt Lu that if she can take care of Grandma until the end, not only will her salary be higher than that of an average temporary worker, but I'll also give her a sum of money at the end. No matter how long Grandma stays with you, I'll pay for it."
Jiang Weifang knew her niece was rich, so she didn't argue with her. "Okay, I'll pay your salary when you go to my place, and you can pay your salary when you come back."
"I'm afraid that after you get used to her, you won't be willing to let her go. What will happen to her son?"
"No, your grandmother will definitely miss home. At least I can bear to let her go during the holidays. Sister Lu's son can also go with her. He can attend the school there. In the county town, I want to help him get into a primary school and keep his student status. He can come back and take the entrance examination later."
"Okay, you take care of the arrangements. I'll find a way to get it from my uncle-in-law after you guys go back and send it to you."
The couple smiled happily, "Okay, thank you for thinking about it."
After Zhou Yu finished his sleep, he got up and prepared to make lunch. When he heard familiar voices outside, he immediately ran out.
"Aunt? Aunt, you're back!"
"Hey! Ayu isn't working today?"
"I finished the long night shift this morning and am catching up on some sleep."
"How's the unit?"
"It's pretty good. The work is not tiring and the salary is high."
After nagging for a while, Zhou wanted to urge his second sister to cook quickly. He picked tomatoes from the yard and fried them with eggs, which Xinxin loved.
I didn’t plant watermelons this year. I planted cucumbers in that corner, and I planted tomatoes on the two small plots of land in the yard.
Zhou Xiang didn't dare to grow seedlings in the space. He took out the seeds to plant, and Zhou Niao took care of them because she was busy building the building!
"Okay! I'll pick it right here."
Long Xin heard that there were tomatoes in the yard, so the swinging swing was no longer attractive.
"I'll go too. I'll pick it."
Zhou Yu stretched out his hand, "Let's go!"
Long Xin jumped off the chair and put her hand on it, "Thank you, second sister."
Zhou Xiang saw that his aunt and uncle didn't say anything, so he thought they had already decided to let go.
When Zhu Hang arrived, he immediately became reserved when he heard that it was his aunt's family who had come.
Because both of them are well-mannered, people can't help but speak carefully.
"Hello, aunt and uncle!"
"Okay! Relax and sit down and talk."
Jiang Weifang and Long Chao knew him of course. Old Lady Liu had also seen him. Zhou Yu brought him there and said he was okay and a good match for the second son.
Long Chao felt that he had a good appearance and a polite look, and didn't look like a gangster at all.
Maybe it was after she got engaged to the second brother that she changed. She didn't care about it before, but she can just take the right path in the future.
Zhu Hang couldn't sit still, so he ran away under the pretext of going in to help.
When Zhou's father returned home and saw that it was his sister-in-law and her family, he happily went to cook himself.
When Zhou's mother returned home, she naturally had a sentimental talk with her sister, and the two sisters had endless things to talk about.
Zhou Niao returned home carrying her skateboard. Seeing Jiang Weifang, she called out affectionately, "Auntie, uncle-in-law, you're back? Where's Xinxin?"
"Hey! Niao Niao! Are you back from playing outside?"
"Yeah! I was skateboarding."
"Hurry back and wipe your sweat, Xinxin is in the yard!"
"Oh! Good!"
Zhou Niao entered the yard, and Jiang Weifang said to her elder sister, "Niao Niao seems to have grown up a bit, and speaks like an adult."
Mother Zhou nodded. "I feel the same way. Sometimes he says things I can't imagine. Especially when he and Xiang Xiang are teasing Zhu Hang together, his brain is so sharp."
Then she told her sister how the brother and sister had bullied Zhu Hang, and the two sisters laughed non-stop.
"Sister, you know what. If this goes on for a long time, Niao Niao might really grow up slowly. Even if she grows to the intelligence of an eighteen-year-old, you can rest assured."
Mother Zhou nodded, "Look forward to it!"
The lunch was very rich. Zhou's father cooked many of his specialties and also bought two braised dishes. Long Xin enjoyed the meal and thought everything was delicious.
Jiang Weifang missed the food from her hometown, while Long Chao's health had improved and his appetite had increased.
