Time gradually came to June and July, and Zhou Ziwu had summer vacation. Yes, now he had summer vacation like other students.
He also lived in his eldest brother's house during the summer vacation. There was no other way because the Zhou family house was basically empty. The old couple were only there during the Chinese New Year and other holidays. The rest of the time they were with Zhou Ziheng.
Of course, everyone has no objection to the old couple living with the young couple. They are worried about having no one to look after them at home, and they don’t have any companions.
Anyway, there is no shortage of living expenses, so the two old people can live wherever they want.
Since there is no one over there, he has to live here with the old couple.
Mother Zhou came over on July 1st. Today is a day off for everyone after receiving their salary. Shouldn’t she come to see her grandson when she has time?
Seeing the people in the yard, she was a little happy, "Ziwu, are you on vacation?"
"Yeah." Zhou Ziwu nodded.
"Ahem, Mommy has something to ask you."
"What?"
"Let's talk upstairs."
Zhou Ziwu nodded, and the two of them walked across the hall together. Mother Zhou and the third child smiled and nodded, then went upstairs.
When they got to the living room on the second floor, Mother Zhou was sitting on the sofa, holding the photo album in the living room. She seemed to be flipping through it casually, but in fact she was brewing a "marriage-urging drama."
Zhou Ziwu also sat down next to her. Mother Zhou coughed lightly and started the conversation: "Ziwu, look at how old you are now. You have a good girl like Duoduo by your side. Don't you have any ideas?"
Zhou Ziwu smiled helplessly: "Mom, Duoduo and I are fine now, there's no need to rush to get married."
Upon hearing this, Mother Zhou put down the photo album, sat up straight, and her expression became serious. "How can you not be anxious, child? Xiao Wang from the compound next door is two years younger than you, and his child is about to go to kindergarten. Duoduo is a well-behaved, sensible, kind and generous child. If you miss this, you will never find someone as good as her again."
Zhou Ziwu scratched his head: "Mom, I know Duoduo is good, but marriage is a lifelong event. I want to wait until my career is more stable."
Mother Zhou leaned closer to Zhou Ziwu and said earnestly, "Ziwu, when will your career be truly stable? You also have to think about your own major life events. Duoduo has been with you for so long, she also needs a status and a home. You can't just think about yourself."
Zhou Ziwu was silent for a while and said, "Mom, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I don't want to get married just for the sake of getting married. I want to give Duoduo a better future."
Mother Zhou patted his shoulder gently: "Of course I know you want to give Duoduo the best, but getting married won't delay your career. On the contrary, with the support of your family, you can work hard with peace of mind. Besides, your father and I also want to see your child sooner."
Zhou Ziwu looked at his mother's expectant eyes and felt a little shaken: "Mom, you might as well go and see what's going on with my second brother."
Mother Zhou smiled and said, "Your second brother has already filed a marriage report and obtained a marriage certificate with the girl. However, he and your second sister-in-law are still in the army. When he returns from his rest, our family will hold a big wedding. Your second brother's affairs have been resolved, so it's your turn. You have to know that good girls are rare, so you should learn to cherish the one you have."
Zhou Ziwu smiled stiffly. No wonder his mother had her sights set on him.
It turned out that my second brother was already married, so I came to ask him now that I had some free time.
"I haven't graduated yet, and Duoduo is still busy."
"That's true. We don't know when she will be back from there. When she comes back, you should find a time to get things done. Don't procrastinate. It will be dangerous to give birth when you are older." Mother Zhou felt the same way. When she was young, it was fine when she gave birth to Zhou Ziheng, and she recovered quickly.
But due to the war that followed, life became difficult, so she didn't have another child for several years.
By the time she wanted to have children later, she was already a little old. After giving birth to her second child, she gave birth to her third child. It took her a long time to recover.
As someone who has been through this, of course she had to explain this to him clearly. It's okay for boys, but girls will definitely suffer.
"Well, I'll think about it."
Now that Lu Duoduo hasn't come back, she says all this is nonsense.
By the way, Lu Duoduo doesn’t have time to come back to see him, but he should go visit her when he has time. Thinking about it, he hasn’t seen her for a year, how could he not miss her?
Thinking of this, he was moved.
After talking to his mother, he went back to the yard, rode his bike out, bought a sleeper berth at the station, and planned to leave tomorrow. At the same time, he also went to get a certificate, because without a certificate he could not stay in the guesthouse.
In the evening, everyone was surprised to know that he was going to find Lu Duoduo.
But it makes sense, they are a couple, right?
Zhou's mother was the first to know about it, and she even urged Zhou Ziwu not long ago, hoping that he could establish a relationship with Lu Duoduo as soon as possible. So she was naturally happy to see Zhou Ziwu go to find Lu Duoduo, and she secretly hoped that her son's trip would have a good result.
I can bring back good news.
Lu Xiangxiang and others started to get busy. Fortunately, Zhou Ziwu's bus was in the afternoon, so they all took out all the good things at home, such as biscuits, clothes made for Lu Duoduo, and biscuits and chocolates, and stuffed them all into a bag.
Zhou Ziwu looked at the big bag of things he had sorted out, then saw that he was only carrying a backpack, and thought to himself that it was a bad thing that he didn't bring anything for Lu Duoduo.
It’s okay, what they brought is enough.
He also had something in his arms that he had brought for Lu Duoduo. He touched the thing in his arms, hoping that she would like it.
Before leaving, he called Lu Duoduo's workplace. Someone answered the call quickly, but Lu Duoduo was still busy and couldn't listen for the time being.
Zhou Ziwu didn't mind, as he was going to see her anyway. He just told the person who answered the phone to pass on a message, saying that he had already boarded the train to see her.
The man responded quickly and then took the bus on his way.
There was no way around it. Unlike traveling with girls, he had to set off alone.
When he arrived at the train station, there was still an hour before the train arrived, so he sat there waiting.
Soon the train came and he got in.
Today's trains are slow and have simple facilities. Taking a train is often a long and arduous experience. Passengers need to sit on hard seats for a long time, endure bumps and noise, and feel very tired from the journey.
Especially now that it is summer, the train is like a slow oven, and few people choose to travel at this time.
