There are new clothes, lucky money, and all kinds of delicious food.
"Wang Ying, what do you do for a living?"
"I work for a service company."
"Oh, I know that service company. It's quite convenient. The apartment next door to me was found with their help. You guys are really well-informed."
"Hehe, yes, it's all for the benefit of everyone."
Then the three women started chatting about this and that again. Wang Ying really didn't like this, but seeing that Zeng Zhongkang and the other two wouldn't finish drinking anytime soon, she could only endure it.
Zeng Zhongkang doesn't usually drink, but he couldn't help it today. He only drank a little, and his two comrades knew his alcohol tolerance, so they didn't urge him to drink more, especially since his wife had looked over more than once.
By the time they finished drinking, it was already 1 p.m., and Wang Ying helped clean up the mess. It seemed Zeng Zhongkang was alright; at least he was much better off than the other two.
After finishing tidying up, Zeng Zhongkang said goodbye. After all, the other party had children, and he felt a little embarrassed that they had all come back and were looking at him expectantly.
"I'll drive."
"OK."
They really are very economical with words.
Both families saw her off, watched Wang Ying drive, and gave her some special instructions. They accepted the kindness of others with smiles.
"Wang Ying, let's go home."
"good."
Zeng Zhongkang must have had too much to drink; Wang Ying found his behavior rather amusing.
The two had already heated the kang (a traditional heated bed) before setting off, and the honeycomb briquette stove was also burning. Once inside, it felt quite warm.
Wang Ying wondered groggily, "Are all men like this? Do they get excited after drinking?"
After Zhang Hongmei woke up, Su Chen accompanied her for a walk in the yard. They were so tall they couldn't see her toes. It was quite tiring, and the skin on her belly was stretched and shiny from the baby's rapid growth. Every day, Su Chen and Aunt Yang would apply ointment to it.
"Did Jinsong go to Yu Hongxia's house again today?"
"Yes, Jinsong is very happy to have Niu Niu with him."
Children need playmates, and Jinsong is the only one at home, so he is indeed a bit lonely.
"Liang Dan called. The factory over there is already built. And all the sewing machines have been installed."
"Okay. Just let Yu Hongxia know; they should be able to start production soon."
"The notification has been sent."
I also received a call from Lu Yue's side; they're working overtime during the Spring Festival this year, and the fabric for the underwear factory in the south has already been shipped out.
Lu Jing is now handling everything, as the leadership has instructed that the wife's health should be the priority.
"By the way, have both commanders returned?"
"Not yet? Han Mei just called and said they'll be back for breakfast tonight. Chengzi hasn't told the family."
"Hehe, it's a good thing we didn't assign Han Mei any work. It's good that she can cover for Wang Xiaoshun since he's on leave."
The three strolled around the yard for a while longer and saw the snowman that Jinsong had built. Zhang Hongmei thought the child had a great talent for creation. There was a snowman in the yard every year, but they were all different.
A moment later, Aunt Li came over. "Hongmei, Chengzi just called. The old commander wants to stay out for dinner tonight."
"Okay. Aunt Li, I want to eat pickled fish tonight."
"Okay, I'll go prepare it right away. Do you want steamed buns or rice?"
"Rice, I feel that pairing pickled fish with steamed buns is a bit off."
Only Zhang Shouyi came home to have dinner with his wife that evening. Although Zhang Hongmei said she wanted to eat pickled fish, she didn't actually eat much.
Zhang Shouyi gently stroked his wife's belly, making rhythmic circles on it. The baby would then interact with him, always bulging and contracting. This was Zhang Shouyi's favorite thing to do now, and he never tired of it.
“Brother Zhang, let me tell you, Sanya is a really interesting girl. She described Zeng Zhongkang as selfish and said that living with Cai Peilin was a guessing game. When I heard that, I almost laughed until my stomach hurt, especially her summary of Cai Peilin, which was spot on.”
"Hehe, what kind of nonsense is that girl spouting about me?"
"Hehe, she didn't say it. I guess she didn't have the guts to say it. She's been afraid of you since she was little."
"Hehe, I don't even know what's wrong with me? Why am I so afraid of her?"
Actually, it's good that she's afraid of me; at least she doesn't dare to talk badly about me.
Sanya was having a great time playing cards on the train. Jinsong had given her those cards, and she never expected to use them here.
Of the three, only Cheng Guangxu's face was clean; Shi Tou and San Ya's faces were covered in plasters.
"Brother Cheng, didn't you say you didn't know how to play?"
"I didn't know how before, but it's not that difficult, is it? As long as you remember the cards your opponents played and combine that with the cards in your hand, you can roughly figure out what cards you have left."
Sanya looked at the pile of trash cards in her hand, and threw them into the pile in a spoiled manner, "I'm not playing anymore. You can remember all the cards?"
"Sanya, you must be calm and serious in everything you do. Even if it's just fifty-four cards, you can definitely remember them."
"Sanya, try cheating again? You're always so clumsy and impulsive."
Sanya calmed down and the game was reshuffled. This time she listened to Cheng Guangxu, though the effect wasn't very obvious, it still had some effect. Now she was more energetic. In the end, if Erya hadn't forcibly suppressed her, she probably would have wanted to play with the two of them all night.
After the second day's study session ended at noon, only the two sisters were left, and they went to get lunch.
"Sis, we won't get off the bus until 8 p.m., so let's not go to my brother's house. We'll stay at Sister Hongmei's house for the next few days."
"Fine, you're one of them!"
Sanya proudly raised her chin, indicating that she simply didn't like them and wanted to make them understand why.
In the afternoon, Cheng Guangxu summarized the last part of the first semester of the second year of high school for the two of them. The two of them were very diligent, knowing that their second sister and the other two would be leaving in the second year of junior high school, and that Cheng Guangxu would be particularly busy these few days. If they didn't seize this opportunity, they probably wouldn't be able to finish studying.
"You two don't need to worry. We'll use the evenings. I'll finish explaining in five days. You can sleep during the day."
"Brother Cheng, you are so kind."
"Hehe, actually all subjects can be summarized like this. After we leave, before the start of the new semester, try your best to finish studying Chinese from last semester on your own."
Although I'm good at math, my Chinese language scores are also quite high; there's a clear pattern to it.
Both of them had visited their ideal universities during their trip to the capital, so they readily accepted Cheng Guangxu's suggestion. After dinner, there was nothing left, which was perfect.
"Second sister, shall we get off the train and go get some noodles?"
"Aren't you full?"
"I'm full. It was already past eight o'clock when I got off the train, so of course I have to eat some more. It'll keep me warm after I eat."
