The next day was the 29th day of the lunar year. Every household began to clean up the house, and the production teams began to slaughter pigs in preparation for the New Year.
Because the Ye family is large and they came back suddenly, there was no room for them to sleep at home.
Ye Zhi and Lu Wei wanted to let their child have a better rest, so they stayed in a guesthouse closest to their home.
The two children went to bed late last night. When Lu Wei woke up in the morning, Ye Zhi was still sleeping with Sui Sui in her arms. Niannian was sleeping soundly beside her with her legs spread wide open and her little hands raised to both sides of her head.
Lu Wei tried his best to move as lightly as possible, but Ye Zhi on the bed still woke up and yawned sleepily.
Ye Zhi saw Lu Wei about to put on his coat, so she asked, "What time is it?"
Last night, after the child fell asleep, the two of them made a lot of noise. Now Ye Zhi felt like her body was about to fall apart and just wanted to have a good sleep.
Lu Wei paused while putting on his coat, then sat back on the bed, kissed Ye Zhi on the face, and said, "It's still early, you should sleep a little longer."
Ye Zhi said "hmm", then turned over, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and fell asleep again.
When she finished her nap, the two children had woken up. Sui Sui climbed on top of her, put his head on her chest, and pulled at her clothes as if looking for something.
On the other side, Niannian was lying flat with her legs raised. Her little hands were grabbing the pair of dolls on her feet, but she tore them off and threw them onto Lu Wei who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Lu Wei took the socks and patiently helped Nian Nian put them on, but within half a minute, Nian Nian repeated the same trick and pulled the socks off again.
Ye Zhi picked up Sui Sui, who was scratching her, and put him on the bed. After Sui Sui sat down, he imitated Niannian and started to pull off his socks.
Lu Wei chuckled, took the child's socks and put them on the bed, saying, "Maybe he's not used to it, so he took it off as soon as he put it on."
Ye Zhi also smiled while holding the socks that the child had pulled off, and said, "Children probably aren't afraid of the cold. Yesterday, you saw Xiao Ding playing in the snow until his hands were all red, but he still said he wasn't cold."
Although Ye Zhi said so, she still patiently helped the child put on the socks, and even put the socks on the two trouser legs. Finally, she shouted loudly: "Take them off again, I will make you pay!"
It was not known whether the two little guys understood or not. Anyway, the more fierce Ye Zhi was, the happier they were, and they kept babbling.
Lu Wei walked towards the cabinet, poured some hot water into the wash basin, moved it to the bedside, and said, "Wash yourself first. I bought some rice dumplings and butter cakes. After breakfast, we'll go to my parents' house to see if there's anything we can help with."
It's already past eight o'clock, and many people in the town are out and about, so the streets are bustling.
Ye Zhi had just smelled the fragrance of the rice dumplings and was indeed a little hungry now.
After a quick wash, Ye Zhi ate the food Lu Wei bought. After eating, she returned home with the child in her arms.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaomei had already cooked a pot of yuba, scallop and dried shrimp porridge. When she saw Ye Zhi and Lu Wei coming back, she said, "It's still inconvenient for you to live outside. Your father said that he would give you a small piece of land later. You can make do with it and spend the New Year together."
Ye Zhi nodded and said, "Then let's do as Dad says."
The facilities in guesthouses these days are simple. Although the door of the space is quite large, Ye Zhi would rather go back home and squeeze in.
Zhang Xiaomei glanced at Nian Nian in Ye Zhi's arms, whose face was red from the cold, and then she reached out to take him and said, "Niannian, grandma has already cooked the porridge. Are you hungry?"
"The porridge is still warming in the stove. Go get it out. I'll feed the two little ones first, or they'll start crying again later."
Seeing this, Lu Wei gave Sui Sui to Ye Zhi and said, "I'll go."
When it comes to feeding, the two children like Zhang Xiaomei to feed them. Sometimes, Lu Wei also wants to feed them, but the two little guys seem to be bullying him and just spit out the food.
After Lu Wei took out the porridge, Ye Zhi and Zhang Xiaomei fed one each, and soon they finished most of the bowl of porridge.
Ye Zhi looked at the empty porridge and said, "You just drank milk when you got up, how can you eat so much?"
After saying that, Ye Zhi wiped Sui Sui's mouth again. Sui Sui reached out to grab the spoon in her hand, babbling as if asking for more food.
No wonder these two little guys are so fat!
I just carried him back from the guesthouse. He was so heavy that I had to change hands several times.
When we were in Qiongzhou Island, we had a stroller, which made it very convenient to take our child anywhere. Now we don’t have that anymore, we either have to hold the child in our arms or carry him on our backs.
Zhang Xiaomei fed Niannian the last bite and laughed, "Isn't it good that he can eat? Like the grandson of Lao Zhou next door, I saw him yesterday and he was so skinny. He can't even compare to us, Niannian Suisui."
As soon as Zhang Xiaomei came back, she gossiped a lot with the neighbors nearby. Just now, while she was feeding her child, she talked a lot to Ye Zhi.
Ye Zhi didn't know how she did it. She had only been back for less than a day, but she already knew a lot of gossip in the town.
After breakfast, Ye Zhi planned to go to the street to buy some New Year’s goods.
Ye Aiguo and the three brothers of the Ye family went to the production brigade to help slaughter pigs and distribute the pork. After many neighbors learned that Ye Zhenhua had returned, they came to their house early and asked them to go to the commune.
The eldest and second sisters-in-law took the older children to the commune to distribute grain and non-staple food. Everyone was busy at the end of the year.
Zhang Xiaomei thought about the children she had at home. Although they were already quite grown up, she stayed at home to look after them as there were streams everywhere in the town.
Ye Xiaoding originally planned to go to the street with Ye Zhi and the others, but the kids next door knew he was back and pulled him to play together.
Ye Zhi said, "Then let's go shopping tomorrow. We can still go shopping tomorrow."
So Ye Zhi took Lu Wei and the two children out. The town here was quite lively. Villagers from several nearby production brigades came out to the town to buy various New Year goods, and the streets were bustling with people.
Nian Nian and Sui Sui were very curious about new things. Even though they were carried in front of them, they still stretched their necks to see the world outside.
However, Ye Zhi had just come from Guangzhou. Although it was very lively here, the things sold in the shops on the street were not that rich. Moreover, they had basically bought all the food for the New Year when they were in Guangzhou.
Ye Zhi planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some red paper to make red envelopes for her children.
I just arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, and the huge cooperative was already packed with people, especially people buying candy, so many people lined up in a long queue.
Ye Zhi glanced at Lu Wei beside her and said, "How about we go somewhere else?"
Lu Wei also carried the child on his back. At this moment, the child was playing with the straps with a smile, so he said with a smile: "I'm not familiar with this place, I'll listen to you."
Ye Zhi smiled, pointed to the candied haws beside her, and said, "Then I want to eat candied haws!"
Last year during the Chinese New Year when she was still pregnant, Shen Nanzhen brought a lot of hawthorns to Qiongzhou Island, but later Lu Wei actually didn't let her eat them. All the candied haws were eaten by Lu Wei and Ye Xiaoding. Now she wants to eat them back!
Lu Wei smiled and said, "No problem, isn't it just candied haws?"
Just as Lu Wei was walking to the roadside to buy candied haws, Ye Zhi heard a surprised voice suddenly coming from the door of the supply and marketing cooperative: "Comrade Ye——"
When Ye Zhi heard someone exchange her name, she looked around and saw Li Xueling wearing a dark red floral cotton jacket.
I haven't seen Li Xueling for more than a year, and she is still the same as before, with not much change.
There were two female comrades standing next to her, wearing the gray-blue uniforms of the textile factory where she used to work. They were looking at her a little awkwardly.
Before Ye Zhi could say anything, Li Xueling on the other end called out again, "Comrade Ye, it turns out it's really you? I thought I was seeing things—"
As Li Xueling spoke, she walked towards Ye Zhi, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
It’s just that Li Xueling’s companion looked a little unhappy.
Ye Zhi recalled that the two female comrades should be the ones who laughed at her singing performance when she was in the textile factory. They were not from the same department as her, but were girls from the next department. She couldn't remember their names.
Ye Zhi met Li Xueling's gaze, smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I actually ran into you, Comrade Li. Long time no see."
Because when she went to Qiongzhou Island, Li Xueling sent her two pieces of defective cloth, and the curtains in their home on Qiongzhou Island were made of those cloths.
Ye Zhi also sent dried seafood and dried fruits to Li Xueling, but Li Xueling always sent her a lot of things back, so later Ye Zhi simply wrote letters to her.
But since they were far apart, they only exchanged letters four or five times and then had little contact.
Li Xueling stared at Ye Zhi, looking her up and down, left and right. She became even more curious when she saw that Ye Zhi's face was getting rounder and whiter, and that she was carrying a chubby little baby on her back.
Of course, Li Xueling had already noticed Lu Wei's tall and wary figure behind Ye Zhi.
But at this moment, Lu Wei was holding a string of candied haws and carrying a doll in his arms, which looked incongruous and did not match his cold appearance at all.
Li Xueling had only seen Lu Wei from a distance before and had never looked at him up close. She didn't know that he was so tall and handsome.
Li Xueling then said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Do you have two children now?"
Ye Zhi pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Yes, twins, two sons."
When Li Xueling heard this, she immediately showed an envious look and said, "You are so lucky. You gave birth to two sons at once! Oh my, these babies are so chubby. How did you raise them? How could you raise them so well? They are so white and plump, just looking at them is so rare!" As she said that, she reached out and teased the child in Ye Zhi's arms.
Ye Zhi said, "She's so cute now, but it must be tiring to be pregnant with two. Her belly is as big as a balloon." After saying that, she made a gesture of a big belly.
When Lu Wei saw Ye Zhi's action, he frowned and looked at her silently.
Li Xueling herself had given birth to several children, so she naturally knew the sadness. She then said, "Yes, they look cute now, but two boys will probably cause trouble in the future."
This is what Ye Zhi fears the most now. Although the two children are a little noisy now, they are still young and can be coaxed into submission quickly after being given food and drink.
I just don’t know what he will be like when he’s two or three years old.
After the two chatted about the child for a while, Li Xueling looked at the person next to Ye Zhi and whispered, "Your man is so handsome? No wonder you are so anxious to marry him!"
Ye Zhi blushed immediately. There was no rush at that time. Lu Wei reported the marriage to the organization overnight and had to rush back to Qiongzhou Island.
But it does sound a bit embarrassing now, as if she is in a hurry to get married.
Come to think of it, it seems to be true.
But before she could say anything, Lu Wei beside her said, "No, I'm anxious to marry her back."
When Lu Wei said this, he looked at Ye Zhi deeply, which made Li Xueling's eyes almost sparkle with stars.
Ye Zhi is such a great man!
After hearing what Lu Wei said, Ye Zhi looked up at him and then smiled.
The exchange of glances between the two was full of affection in Li Xueling's eyes.
No wonder Ye Zhi looks so good, it must be because her husband takes good care of her.
The two chatted for a while, and Li Xueling asked, "How many days will you stay? I'm not free right now. I need to buy some New Year's gifts for the factory."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhi said, "Maybe he will go back on the third day of the New Year. Lu Wei doesn't have that much vacation time."
Lu Wei couldn't stay too long this time, and the weather here was cold, and Lu Wei was worried that the children would catch a cold.
However, Lu Wei does not have that much vacation time left, so they thought about spending two days with Shen Nanzhen when they return to Yangcheng.
Li Xueling heard Ye Zhi's words and said with a little disappointment: "So soon? I was thinking I could have a good get-together with you after the New Year. But it's okay, we can write to each other then."
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Well, I'll write to you then. Since you still have things to do in the factory, I won't bother you."
Li Xueling nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be busy now. If I'm free, I'll come and play with you on the second day of the New Year."
Ye Zhi smiled and replied, "Okay."
Ye Zhi watched Li Xueling walk back to the two female comrades who were there before. Those two female comrades were from the previous factory.
However, Ye Zhi had no intention of saying hello to them, after all, she wasn't very familiar with them before.
Moreover, Ye Zhi vaguely remembered that these two people used to get along well with her cousin Ye Hongying.
I've been gossiping about her a lot in the past.
When the two female comrades met Ye Zhi's eyes, they were stunned.
A female comrade then whispered, "Isn't that the former factory beauty? Why is she here?"
"Maybe she came back to celebrate the New Year. Oh my god, I thought she would be very haggard and miserable after going to Qiongzhou Island, but look at her condition. She is prettier and younger than those unmarried girls."
After all, many people in the factory thought that Ye Zhi would become destitute and haggard after marrying and becoming a military dependent on Qiongzhou Island. But now, Ye Zhi's face looked even more rosy and her complexion was better, especially her skin, which was white and rosy, like the daughter of a capitalist family in the city, and not at all like someone who had given birth to two children.
It has to be said that Ye Zhi’s current state was something they had never imagined.
After all, after Ye Zhi followed the army to Qiongzhou Island, many people in the factory said that Ye Zhi's delicate personality would definitely not last more than three months and she would have to go home crying.
Who would have thought that they now have two children, who are both plump and white. It seems that the couple must be living a happy and comfortable life.
This can be seen from a person's appearance and mental outlook.
Looking at the man next to Ye Zhi, he was so imposing, tall and handsome. Standing next to Ye Zhi, they were simply a perfect match made in heaven.
The key point is that the man actually helped to carry the child?
That was fine, because at that moment Lu Wei was holding a newly bought candied haws, handing it to Ye Zhi's mouth, and coaxing her to eat one with a smile.
They both: “…”
This couple is so loving that others are so envious.
Thinking about what I said before, it really makes me feel embarrassed!
Meanwhile, Ye Zhi, who was forced by Lu Wei to eat a candied haws, glared at Lu Wei fiercely and cursed in a low voice: "I told you to eat it by yourself!"
If they were seen by people patrolling the street, they would probably be criticized!
Ye Zhi bit the rock candy in her mouth, and it immediately made a crispy crunching sound. The sour and sweet taste filled her mouth, which was quite satisfying.
Forget it. Since the candied haws are so delicious, I forgive him.
The child in Ye Zhi's arms saw her biting something and knew immediately that she was eating. He started dancing with joy, as if he also wanted to eat something in his mother's mouth.
Seeing this, Lu Wei pinched a small piece of cracked rock candy and broke it into pieces, intending to give it to the child to taste.
But before giving it to them, Ye Zhi frowned and said, "Don't give them this. It's too hard. I don't know if they can eat it. It will be troublesome if they choke."
Lu Wei looked at the broken rock candy in his hand, immediately withdrew his hand and said, "Okay."
The child had already seen Lu Wei pinching the candy crumbs towards him, and had already opened his mouth with a babbling sound, ready to be fed by Lu Wei, but the next second Lu Wei withdrew his hand.
The child immediately jumped even more happily, and even though he was carried in Ye Zhi's arms, he still tried his best to take the candy in Lu Wei's hand.
Lu Wei felt a little soft-hearted, but after being glared at by Ye Zhi, he immediately decided on the battle line.
Can't give!
My wife would be unhappy if I gave it to her!
Ye Zhi pressed Sui Sui's hand down and said, "Wait until you grow up before eating. Don't think about it now."
Lu Wei leaned close to Sui Sui, who was pouting and about to cry, and said, "Did you hear me? It's not that your dad doesn't want to give it to you, it's that your mom doesn't let you eat it." As he said that, he kissed the child on the face.
After hearing what Lu Wei said, Ye Zhi couldn't help but pat the back of Lu Wei's hand and said, "How can you talk like that?"
Why didn’t I realize Lu Wei was so bad before!
The next day was New Year's Eve. Ye Zhi and Lu Wei checked out of the guesthouse and returned home.
Ye Zhi was awakened early in the morning by the sounds of her family busying around. Lu Wei had already gotten up, and there was no one around her.
Ye Zhi looked at the two children who were sleeping soundly. They looked really cute at the moment, not crying or making any noise.
She stayed in bed for a long time, then thought about it and decided that she should get up and help.
But before she could get up, Lu Wei came in with two pieces of red paper and asked, "Are you up? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Ye Zhi shook her head and asked, "Is everyone up?"
Lu Wei walked to the bedside and tucked the thick quilt for Ye Zhi. This quilt was newly made and was originally intended for Ye Zhenhua, but Ye Zhenhua said that they had a child and couldn't let the child get cold, so he gave the quilt to them.
Lu Wei said: "There are still a few children who haven't woken up yet, but don't worry, Nian Nian and Sui Sui haven't woken up yet, you can wake up later."
The two children played with their older brothers and sisters quite late last night. Ye Zhi fed them once around five in the morning, so they should be able to continue sleeping until around eight or nine in the morning.
Ye Zhi nodded when she heard this and said, "Let's get up and see if there's anything we can help with."
Although the two children were still asleep, they didn't have to do anything, and since it was rare for her to come back for the New Year, it would be nice for her to help cut window paper-cuts.
Looking at Ye Zhi's red face, he couldn't help but lean over and kiss her, then said in Ye Zhi's ear: "Then get up, the two children should wake up soon, I will change their diapers later."
After Ye Zhi washed up, she saw her eldest brother, second brother and third brother coming back with a bucket of pig offal. Ye Xiaoding followed behind them, pinching his nose. He was not wearing his newly bought cotton-padded jacket, but his old clothes that he had worn in Xitang Town.
Ye Xiaoding has been having fun everywhere these past two days. Fortunately, he didn't wear any new clothes, otherwise they would have become old clothes before the New Year.
Although Ye Xiaoding pinched his nose, he was still very happy. When he saw Ye Zhi, he shouted excitedly, "Aunt, we got a lot of pig offal. It stinks!"
Ye Zhi couldn't help but pinch Ye Xiaoding's cheek and said, "Why didn't you say it smelled bad when you were eating it?"
It was not often possible to buy pork on the island before, but if you asked He Jinfeng to help save some pork offal, there would be some.
One time, Ye Zhi pickled a lot of sauerkraut and made a dish of stir-fried pig intestines with sauerkraut.
When washing, Ye Xiaoding happened to touch it and quickly said "stinky, stinky, stinky". However, when eating, this guy ate the most!
Ye Zhenhua looked at Ye Xiaoding's smile and said, "Dad and your uncle will make you a pig-killing rice noodle later. I guarantee you'll say it's delicious."
Ye Zhenhua has walked around the town several times in the past two days and has vaguely remembered a lot of things, especially the things about growing up with his brothers and sisters.
They especially remembered that every year when pigs were slaughtered and the pork was distributed, some pig blood and pig liver would be given. They loved to use these things to cook noodles. They, the brothers, also loved their sister Ye Zhi and gave her the pig blood and pig liver to eat. However, Ye Zhi did not like to eat them and gave them all back to them.
In fact, that thing tastes quite delicious. After all, life was hard in the past and they could only eat pork during the Chinese New Year. Even the pig offal would be remembered by them.
Ye Zhi also looked at the full bucket of pig offal and asked, "Why is there so much?"
Brother Ye said, "Isn't this because we have so many people? Besides, it's Chinese New Year, and everyone likes to have meat, so there are more offal. This stuff looks like a lot, but many things shrink when they are cooked. Anyway, it's cold now, so if we have more, it can be stored for a few days, so it won't be a problem."
But even if it's a full bucket of pig offal, there are nearly twenty people in the family now, and they can finish this amount of food.
Zhang Xiaomei came out of the kitchen and saw so many pig offal, so she said, "Kill one, I'll make a pig stomach chicken later."
When everyone heard about the chicken being slaughtered, they all got excited and said, "I want to eat chicken legs!"
“I want chicken wings!”
"I want to eat chicken neck!"
Later, Ye Aiguo even said, "I want to eat chicken butt!"
Zhang Xiaomei sighed and said, "Okay, leave the chicken butt to your father. No one should compete with him for it."
Everyone laughed and said, "I won't fight with Grandpa for the chicken butt!"
Ye Aiguo listened to the ridicule of a group of arrogant kids and curled his lips, snorting: "You don't know what's good, chicken butt is the most delicious."
Amidst laughter, everyone started to get busy. Those who were dealing with the pig offal took them to the patio to process them. Knowing that Lu Wei was from the north, they specially bought some flour and saved some pork, and also prepared to make some dumplings for the New Year.
Ye Zhi originally planned to make dumplings together, but then the two little ones woke up at the same time and cried very loudly at the door of the room.
Now, she watched everyone busying in and out the whole time.
When they were cutting paper-cuts, Ye Zhi wanted to help, but when the two children saw the red paper, they reached out to grab it and almost put it in their mouths.
The two little guys were already growing teeth and loved to suck their fingers. When their wet hands took the red paper, their chubby little hands were stained with a layer of red that couldn't be washed off even after washing for a long time.
Seeing this, Lu Wei said, "Just take care of the two children, and leave the rest to us."
Otherwise, who knows what these two little guys will put into their mouths.
Ye Zhi simply decided not to join in the fun, and just waited with her two children until the meal was over.
For the reunion dinner in the evening, Zhang Xiaomei and her elder and second sisters-in-law cooked sixteen dishes, plus two dishes of cold jellyfish and cold kelp shreds, a total of eighteen dishes.
Some of the dishes are seafood they brought back from Qiongzhou Island, all of which are dried, soaked and then cooked.
There were two crowded tables in the small main room, one for children and the other for adults.
The children gathered together and actually took out a lot of dried bananas and dried mangoes, saying that they would eat them as dishes.
Celebrating the New Year with a whole family is different. Even if we just sit together, it feels lively and cheerful.
The happiest ones were Ye Aiguo and Zhang Xiaomei. They were all smiling and took out the daughter's red wine that they had collected for many years, as well as the Maotai and Wuliangye that Lu Wei had bought before.
Ye Aiguo said with a smile: "This year is a very special year. Our family sat together neatly. The third child... the third child is also back. I don't know how long it has been since our family celebrated such a lively New Year."
Ye Zhi pursed her lips and then said, "Dad, there will be many, many years like this in the future."
However, Ye Zhi also felt that this was really rare, and it would probably be difficult to bring so many people together again in the future.
Ye Aiguo shook his head and said, "That's enough. This time we can all be together thanks to you and Lu Wei. Dad wants to have a drink with you."
Ye Aiguo knew that Ye Zhi was just coaxing him. Not to mention the future, even this time was extremely rare.
Not to mention that Ye Zhi is married now and should spend the New Year at her husband's house.
However, he was selfish for once. When he was in Yangcheng, he shamelessly told Lu Wei's mother that he wanted his daughter to go back to Xitang Town with them.
Lu Wei's family were all reasonable people, and Shen Nanzhen barely hesitated for a moment before letting Lu Wei and Ye Zhi bring their two children to their snowy hometown in Xitang Town.
Lu Wei really helped their family a lot.
The biggest credit for Ye Zhenhua being found back actually goes to Lu Wei.
If it weren't for Ye Zhi and Lu Wei, the third child in his family would still be wandering outside.
Without Lu Wei, their third son might not have been able to resume his military service so smoothly, and he would not have been able to come back and reunite with them.
Zhang Xiaomei, who was sitting next to Ye Aiguo, also said, "Yes, we really have to have a drink with Lu Wei and our girl. If it weren't for you, how could we find the third brother?"
Lu Wei smiled and raised his glass, saying, "Dad, Mom, we are all family, so there is no need to say these polite words. From now on, everyone should just be happy."
Ye Zhi also raised her glass and said, "Dad, Mom, I hope you are all healthy. I hope everything goes well for my brother and sister-in-law. We are all a family, so there is no need to say polite words."
When everyone saw Lu Wei and Ye Zhi say this, they all raised their glasses and said, "Yes, yes, we are all family. I hope everyone will be safe and happy in the future."
"Happy New Year, and may everyone be safe and sound."
After that, everyone clinked their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
When the children saw the adults clinking their glasses and drinking, they also picked up their bowls and clinked them together, saying, "Let's eat some chicken drumsticks!"
…
After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone is waiting to welcome the New Year.
Ye Zhi coaxed the two children to sleep and sat next to Lu Wei.
At twelve o'clock, Ye Zhi said softly: "Brother Wei, Happy New Year."
The last time Ye Zhi called Lu Wei like this was during the Chinese New Year. I didn't expect that I would have to wait a whole year before I could hear her say this.
Lu Wei then pinched her chin, kissed her on the lips, and said, "Can you call me that more often in the future?"
Ye Zhi thought for a while, and Lu Weiyou held her lower lip and said fiercely: "Do you want more? Call me like this more often in the future." After that, he leaned close to Ye Zhi's ear and added: "When we are in bed, I want to hear you call me like this."
Ye Zhi was immediately annoyed again. She glared at him and said through gritted teeth, "Why do you always think of that kind of thing? Can you put something useful in your head?"
Lu Wei didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he hugged her, straightened his waist, and said in a hoarse voice: "My whole head is filled with you."
Ye Zhi: “…”
The two were silent for a long time, and Ye Zhi suddenly said: "Lu Wei, I'm very happy."
Still remember that Lu Wei told him this last year, but this year Ye Zhi felt that she could feel that kind of joy.
Although there were no fireworks or Spring Festival Gala this New Year, the joy of family reunion really made her feel special.
Lu Wei nuzzled her ear and said, "As long as you are happy."
Everything he did was to make her happy.
Ye Zhi suddenly turned around, looked into Lu Wei's eyes, and whispered, "You should be happy too!"
Lu Wei suddenly leaned over and kissed Ye Zhi on the forehead, saying, "With you by my side, I am happy every moment."
"Really? Don't you find me annoying?"
Ye Zhi found that she had become a bit nagging in the past two years, especially towards Lu Wei.
Lu Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "No, I would be happier if you could be like my mom."
He used to think his parents were nagging and had bad tempers, but now he thinks that all couples are like this.
Sometimes he really liked Ye Zhi saying something in his ear, even if it was nonsense.
Ye Zhi suddenly burst into laughter and said, "There will be a day like this in the future."
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, every household has people going back to their parents’ home to visit relatives.
When Ye Zhi went out with her child, she happened to see Ye Hongying, but did not see her husband Gao Wenbo.
Ye Hongying was wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket. She looked pretty energetic. She seemed to have drawn her eyebrows and her lips were bright in color. She looked quite spirited.
Ye Hongyingying was the first to greet Ye Zhi and looked at her with a smile.
She didn't want to be outdone by Ye Zhi, so she wanted to stay in good shape.
Ye Zhi, who was holding the child, also smiled. She didn't seem to be bothered by the past. She just said, "Hongying, long time no see."
Ye Hongying paused and said, "Long time no see." She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be on Qiongzhou Island?"
In fact, Ye Hongying knew that Ye Zhi had returned two days ago, because two female comrades from the textile factory went to her yard and told her as soon as they saw Ye Zhi.
He also told her that Ye Zhi was more beautiful now than before and asked her to go home quickly to see her.
Ye Hongying thought those people were bragging. After all, Ye Zhi had just given birth to a child and had lived in Qiongzhou Island for almost two years. She was well aware of the scorching sun and harsh environment there. How could she be beautiful if she was exposed to such strong ultraviolet rays?
But now looking at Ye Zhi's pretty face, it was now white and rosy, her big eyes were watery and bright, and her long black hair was soft and shiny.
Although she was taking care of two children, she didn't look tired at all. She was even as beautiful as a virgin and seemed to be in great shape.
Ye Zhi didn't want to talk to Ye Hongying, but Ye Hongying came towards her.
So Ye Zhi briefly told her third brother Ye Zhenhua about the matter, and finally said: "So we came back from Qiongzhou Island and celebrated the New Year together."
Ye Hongying was stunned for a moment. Why had she never heard that Ye Zhenhua was still alive in her previous life?
It's true that Ye Zhi always runs into good things!
Ye Hongying didn't know why, but she felt a little irritated when she saw Ye Zhi's smile, and said coldly: "Did you recognize the wrong person?"
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? He has been dead for so many years!
"I'm not wrong. My third brother has recovered his memory." Ye Zhi was still smiling, and her smile was very happy.
Ye Hongying gritted her teeth, then said "Oh", and said sarcastically: "That's really lucky."
