Although New Year's Eve had passed, Zhang Fengrong still took out the best things in the house while Haoyu and Xinyi were there, and the dinner on New Year's Day was still very sumptuous.
Cheng Haoyu and Zheng Xinyi stayed in the village for a while, then returned home hand in hand. Seeing the table full of food, Xinyi was stunned: "Mom, what are you doing? The village only distributes this little pork throughout the year. How come you used it all for the New Year? You should save some for your brothers and sisters."
"Why leave anything for yourself? Let's eat together while the house is warm. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat, and I'll always be thinking about you, which will make me feel bad." Zhang Fengrong said this from the bottom of his heart. It was the truth. As the saying goes, a mother worries about her son even when he is thousands of miles away. Every time there is something delicious to eat or drink at home, Zhang Fengrong will miss his son who is suffering in the army, and worry that he won't have enough to eat or drink in the army.
"Mom, Xinyi and I are doing well in the army! Don't always worry about us." Cheng Haoyu knew what she was thinking. He put his hands on her shoulders and spoke to comfort her.
"Okay, everyone, let's sit down and eat! If the food gets cold, it won't taste good." Zhang Fengrong said, patting Cheng Haoyu's arm with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, please eat more. You need to replenish your nutrition now." Cheng Haoyang said, pointing to the meat in the bowl.
"Oh! You don't have to worry about me so much. Just look at my current weight and you will know that I have definitely not suffered any injustice." Zheng Xinyi stood up and turned around to show everyone her weight.
"Ouch! Please sit down and be quiet! Don't hurt your waist." Zhang Fengrong reached out and pulled her to sit next to him.
Cheng Dayu sighed softly, glanced at the silent Cheng Haoyu, and asked, "Son, have you booked your tickets? When do you plan to return?"
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly quieted down, becoming unusually quiet. Cheng Haoyu and Zheng Xinyi looked at each other, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"Your father and I had a plan last night. I guess you should go back soon." Zhang Fengrong responded.
"The train tomorrow morning." Cheng Haoyu put down his bowl and chopsticks and responded softly.
There was another silence in the hall. There was a delicious dinner on the table, but no one touched their chopsticks.
"Don't just stand there, eat quickly!" Zhang Fengrong picked up a piece of meat and put it in Zheng Xinyi's bowl.
Zheng Xinyi looked at the meat in the bowl, her eyes suddenly became moist. She put it in her mouth, but couldn't swallow it.
"Oh! Don't be so depressed, this isn't the first time that my brother and sister-in-law have left. Every time they come back, they are all happy, but when they leave, they start to look sad. It's not like they will never come back after they leave." Cheng Haoting said.
"Haoting is right. Everyone should stop looking so depressed. Why don't we come back happily and leave happily?" Cheng Dayu responded.
"That's right, that's right. Let's eat quickly. Don't let my mother's cooking skills go to waste." Cheng Haoyang picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
Although they were all upset, they managed to put on the sweetest smile and finish the meal. Haoting was right. They were leaving, but it wasn't like they wouldn't be coming back. Why make it so sad every time? Wouldn't it be better to let the two children come back happily and leave happily?
