Chapter 398 The Prodigal Son Returns
When I entered the house, Zhang Yao and Hao Meiting were there too. They were sitting on the edge of the kang picking vegetables.
"Your mother felt it was too pitiful for him to spend the New Year alone, so she specially invited him to come and spend the New Year with us." Zhang Dali said helplessly: "Typical case of forgetting the pain after the wound heals."
"Have you forgotten what he did before?" Zhang Kun spoke to Wang Yueju, but his eyes were looking at Zhang Yao while he spoke.
He wanted to know what Zhang Yao's attitude was towards this matter.
Could it be that my mother invited Wei Zhenghao here because of Zhang Yao?
Does Zhang Yao want to remarry Wei Zhenghao?
For a moment, Zhang Kun had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
If Zhang Yao remarried Wei Zhenghao, he would not agree.
It is said that a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold, but only when he has been wronged outside will he remember the good things about his original wife.
If Wei Zhenghao had not experienced those things in the Wei family, he would never have turned back.
Why should everyone accept him once he turns around?
Zhang Kun now thinks of the time when Li Xu was struggling with the Wei family and had her face scratched by those two crazy women from the Wei family. He still feels distressed!
"How could I forget? We just celebrated the New Year together and had a meal, that's not a big deal! Have you forgotten that time when he stopped his mother and brother at the door of our house? He is slowly getting better now. After all, he is Wenwen's father. We can't just stop communicating with each other forever, right?" Wang Yueju said embarrassedly.
"Besides, he has been helping Zhang Yao work in the fields all year long and hasn't asked for a penny. He is all alone during the New Year, how pitiful." Wang Yueju sighed.
Li Xu also felt that this was wrong, but since it was Zhang Yao's business after all, she couldn't intervene.
I could only hold Ji Yuanyuan's hand and sit in the back listening dryly.
Seeing that Zhang Yao hadn't expressed her opinion, Zhang Kun couldn't help asking, "What do you think? Do you want to remarry him?"
Zhang Yao was mentioned and finally raised her head.
She put the food in her hand on the kang and said coldly, "How is it possible? How can I remarry him? But this house is not mine, I have no right to speak."
When Zhang Kun heard what Zhang Yao said, he felt relieved.
As long as Zhang Yao has no plans to remarry, everything will be fine.
As they were talking, Zhang Jun came back with Shuo Shuo and Wenwen.
Wenwen happily rushed to Wei Zhenghao and said, "Dad, what do you think this is?"
Wei Zhenghao quickly said, "Stay away from me, my hands are covered in chicken blood."
Zhang Jun saw this and quickly pulled Wenwen back: "Go into the house and see if your uncle is back."
Wenwen was not very happy and squatted beside Wei Zhenghao, watching him kill the chicken.
This child is quite courageous.
Zhang Jun took Shuo Shuo into the house somewhat helplessly.
Looking at the backs of Wei Zhenghao and Wenwen in the yard, Zhang Kun was speechless for a moment.
For Wenwen, Wei Zhenghao is still her biological father no matter what.
What's more, from childhood to adulthood, Wei Zhenghao had never done anything bad to Wenwen except for that time when he didn't stop his mother from beating Wenwen.
Zhang Kun sighed and thought to himself: Forget it today. Their whole family isn't staying home for the New Year anyway, so out of sight, out of mind.
"Dad, Mom, we won't be spending the New Year at home this year. Our home is small, and there's no room for our whole family to stay here." Zhang Kun took the opportunity to say.
Wang Yueju and Zhang Dali were a little disappointed when they heard this, but they still said quickly: "Okay, it's still warm in the city, but it's too cold at home."
With Wei Zhenghao around, Zhang Kun didn't want to stay at home any longer.
After distributing the gifts for the children, Zhang Kun took his family back to the city.
This is the first time that the family has celebrated the New Year alone, and the children are very excited.
Early in the morning on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Ji Ziang got up and took his brother and sister to paste couplets and the word "Fu".
Every door in the house was checked.
In less than an hour, the house was suddenly filled with joy.
Celebrating the New Year in the city is naturally much simpler than in the countryside.
There aren’t so many steps, and there aren’t so many details.
Li Xu was too lazy to make dumplings, so after the New Year’s Eve dinner, the family gathered on the sofa to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
This New Year's Eve is quite special. After today, we will officially enter the 21st century.
On TV, the host counted down: "Ten, nine..."
At the same time, the phone at home rang.
Ji Yuanyuan was right next to the phone. She picked up the phone and asked, "Hello?"
"Three, two, one, Happy New Year, Yuanyuan." It was Qin Mucheng's voice.
Ji Yuanyuan laughed, "Happy New Year, Brother Mu Cheng!"
Ji Ziang was a little surprised when he heard this: "Is it Brother Mu Cheng?"
He came over and said, "Brother Mu Cheng, Happy New Year!"
Ji Yuanyuan simply put the phone on speaker.
With the sound of "Happy New Year", we officially entered the year 2001.
…
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Zhang Kun took Li Xu back to her parents' home.
When I got home, only the old couple and Li Miao were there.
Li Lei and Li Yong both took their children back to their parents' home.
It wasn't until around three in the afternoon that there was any movement outside.
"You're back so soon?" Zhang Kun asked in surprise.
The door was opened, but the first person to come in was not someone from the family.
But it was Qin Xiaojie.
"Someone come and help, my brother-in-law is drunk!" Qin Xiaojie shouted while standing at the door.
Hearing this, Zhang Kun hurried out the door.
A moment later, Qin Xiaomin came in holding the child.
As soon as he came in, he muttered, "It's all my dad's fault. He insisted on having a few drinks with Li Yong. We both got drunk. I don't know what he wanted."
"Give it to me!" Li Miao stretched out his hand and took the sleeping Li Nian.
Qin Xiaomin complained as she took off her coat, "He was so drunk that he couldn't even sit still. I had to hold Li Nian in my arms, so I had to trouble Xiao Jie to take me back."
As they were talking, Zhang Kun and Qin Xiaojie came in dragging the drunk Li Yong.
Liu Guihua quickly spread the quilt in the west room and said, "Just put it here and let him have a good sleep."
The drunk man's body was very weak, and Zhang Kun and Qin Xiaojie had to put in a lot of effort to settle Li Yong down.
Liu Guihua felt a little embarrassed, so she took Qin Xiaojie to the east room and poured him some water: "You've worked hard, drink some water and warm your hands!"
Qin Xiaojie took the water and said politely: "Thank you!"
He stood at the door, looked up and around, and finally fixed his eyes on Li Miao.
Two seconds later, he quickly looked away.
Lower your head and drink the water slowly.
After taking two sips, he looked up at Li Miao.
"Okay, okay, you should go back quickly. Our father is drunk, and I'm afraid mom can't deal with him alone." Qin Xiaomin noticed something and urged.
Liu Guihua politely stopped him: "Don't rush him, let him finish the water."
