Chen Baoguo and He Damei were walking on the road. He Damei said, "Sister-in-law will die soon. If there is no one around, you and mom can stay at home to look after the child. I will take care of her for a few days."
Chen Baoguo said: "佗."
As night fell, heavy snow fell and there were few people on the road. Chen Baoguo rode his bicycle on the snowy road.
He Damei sat behind him, with one arm around his waist and her face pressed against his back.
"I won't be going out before the New Year, so if you have nothing to do, come here more often."
"T."
He Damei hugged Chen Baoguo's waist tightly, and she felt that her life was worth it.
Back home, Zhang Cuihua is already preparing things.
Chen Liye didn't come this year, and Xiaolan didn't come either, saying that she was working in a restaurant.
A month after the new year, Chen Liye will graduate.
This year, Chen Kaifang spent the New Year alone in his hometown.
On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Kaifang sent Zhang Cuihua to the county bus.
When Zhang Cuihua came to the funeral, she was carrying two large bags.
One big bag contained clothes and bedding for the two children, and another bag contained bacon and local specialties. She also had two old chickens tucked under her arms.
These two old chickens were brought by Wang Yulian.
Zhang Cuihua knew that this was Wang Yulian's love for the child, so she had to carry it even if it was difficult.
It took Zhang Cuihua four or five days of journey to arrive.
Before he died, he did not call Chen Jianguo.
When everyone arrived at the gate of the compound, Zhao Yong and another little guy were on duty today.
I saw an old lady with a vicissitudes of life coming to the door, with both hands full of things. She ran over to take the things and asked, "Auntie, who are you looking for?"
Zhang Cuihua looked a little tired, as she hadn't eaten or drunk anything for several days.
She carried a cloth bag on her shoulders and two old chickens under her arms.
Zhang Cuihua said: "I'm looking for Chen Jianguo, he is my son.
Thank you, Xiao Zhi, for helping me get my things."
Zhao Yong thought of Chen Jianguo's devilish face and said quickly, "Auntie, you're welcome. I'll take you inside. You're carrying too many things."
Zhao Yong thought to himself, what a fool the team leader is, he didn’t even bother to pick up the old lady who came from so far away.
Zhao Yong escorted her to the door. Before Zhang Cuihua even knocked on it, Zhao Yong put the things in his hand by the door and said, "Auntie, I'll be on duty now."
Zhang Cuihua said, "Xiao Xiaozhi, don't be anxious, come in and have a glass of water."
"No need, ma'am."
As Zhao Yong was speaking, the person had disappeared.
When Chen Jianguo opened the door, he heard the voices of Zhao Yong and his mother. He was very sure that he had not heard it wrong.
When the door opened, the person standing at the door was actually Zhang Cuihua.
Chen Jianguo's face lit up: "Mom, why are you here?"
He saw a lot of things piled at Zhang Cuihua's feet and two old chickens tucked under her arms.
He bent down and quickly picked up the things.
How did she get so many things by herself?
Zhang Cuihua asked, "Why am I here?
My wife is about to give birth, and you are too busy to take care of her, so I will take care of her during her confinement.
Hurry up and bring all the things in. I'm so tired from the journey.
I can't come if I don't come, the beautiful lady is in her room, but you are alone."
As Zhang Cuihua spoke, she bent down and carried another bag into the house.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw three children doing their homework next to the dining table.
She paused without thinking much. She had seen these three children in the compound before. They looked familiar, so they should be children from the compound.
The three children politely called out "Grandma" and Zhang Cuihua smiled and said, "How nice."
Tian Yujun in the room heard the voice and came out to see that it was Zhang Cuihua.
"Mom, why are you here? Are you alone?"
Zhang Cuihua smiled happily when she saw Tian Yujun.
"I came here alone. Your mother wanted to come too, but I was afraid she would be tired. I'll let her come to see you after I've taken care of you and you're out of confinement.
Look, these two chickens in your arms are the ones your mother asked me to bring to you.
Also inside this package, your mother made bedding for the child, and there are two sets of clothes."
Tian Yujun smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. You should take a rest first."
Feng Xueqin had already poured hot water for Zhang Cuihua and placed it on the table.
Zhang Cuihua was a little confused. These three children didn't look like they were guests at home at all.
Also, when did a room get separated from the living room?
Although she was confused, Zhang Cuihua did not ask any questions as there were three children around.
Chen Jianguo carried all the things into the kitchen and started to clean up what needed to be cleaned up.
Zhang Cuihua talked about some things that happened in the village, and also talked about Chen Xiaohong, Zhang Qiang, and Chen Xiaohong’s two lovely sons.
Anyway, although Zhang Cuihua looked tired, her face was full of smiles.
With five children of their own, the old couple no longer have to worry about the other four.
What she is worried about now is the eldest couple.
Zhang Cuihua rested for a while, and Tian Yujun was already planning in his mind: where would her mother-in-law sleep at night?
For the time being, I can only squeeze in with Xueqin and Xueyan.
Chen Jianguo was also thinking about this question.
Zhang Cuihua rested for a while, and felt much more comfortable after washing up. She changed into loose slippers, and her feet felt much more comfortable too.
Zhang Cuihua carried bedding and clothes into the room. Tian Yujun and Chen Jianguo looked at each other and followed her in.
At this moment, the couple were in the room, whispering to Zhang Cuihua about the three children.
Zhang Cuihua's head was buzzing.
It’s pitiful to have three children, but how can the eldest couple support five children?
Zhang Cuihua was silent for a moment. After thinking carefully, she realized that they also had five children, but times had changed.
At that time, the older ones took care of the younger ones, and as long as the children were not sick or hungry, it didn't matter if they were a little dirty.
But now...
She sighed. The eldest couple had made the decision on their own matters. If she, as a mother, said too much, it would only make the two children feel uncomfortable.
After Chen Jianguo finished speaking, the couple looked at each other and waited for Zhang Cuihua to speak.
Zhang Cuihua said: "Poor three children.
If you want to stay, then stay. What mom can do to help you is to help you two take care of the three of them while I’m with you.
Don't get too tired, both of you."
She said that the eldest son stopped sending money home because he was under too much pressure.
Zhang Cuihua said, "Then I'll sleep with Zhidong tonight so as not to crowd out Xueqin and Xueyan."
Chen Jianguo said: "Yes."
Tian Yujun also nodded.
In the living room, the three children were also distracted.
Chen Jianguo came out of the room, and the three children's eyes all fell on Chen Jianguo.
Chen Jianguo asked: "Zhidong, does grandma sleep with you at night?"
Feng Zhidong nodded and said, "Tuo."
Zhang Cuihua and Tian Yujun also came out of the room.
Tian Yujun said, "Mom, you should take a rest for a while. You are tired from the journey."
Zhang Cuihua said, "Hey, I'll lie down for a while."
How could she sleep at this moment?
She was just a little sad and wanted to lie down alone.
She felt sorry for the two children.
I am under so much pressure, how am I going to live my life in the future?
He used to think that the eldest brother was a blessed one.
But now I feel that among the five children, the eldest has the hardest life.
He has to take care of his family, consider the friendship of his comrades, take care of his wife and children, and defend his country.
Her poor baby...
Why am I so tired...
