Zhenye and the other three also thought of this; they could wash more sheets and hang them in their own living room.
Zhang Shouyi and his wife lay together, saying, "If we have younger generations in the future, our home will be even more lively."
"Hmm, honey, are we still going to live here? This house is getting too small. Let's move out. That way, the whole family can live together."
In fact, Zhang Hongmei knew that the house Zhou Shixiong had lived in had been renovated and completely changed, and the layout of the rooms had also changed, so there was nothing wrong with moving there.
"Alright, let's move there after the first month of the lunar calendar, so that the houses we arrange for the four families won't be too small."
"Hehe, everyone else is eager to live there, but you're the one who's unwilling."
"I don't care about those things now; I was just being sentimental when I was young."
Zhang Shouyi held his wife tightly, refusing to let go. They had been married for a long time, but he had never shown any disdain for her.
I've heard many people say that after a few years of marriage, the initial passion fades, and all that's left is familial affection.
But in all these years they've been together, I've never felt that way. Even now, thinking about it still gives me a fleeting surge of emotion. I could never love her enough for the rest of my life.
On the morning of the 30th, the four brothers went to the cemetery to burn paper money for Zhou Shixiong, and then burned paper money for the old lady, Liu Changhe and his wife, and their maternal grandparents at the intersection.
They arrived home at noon, and after washing up, they took Xiao Wu and the other two to the restaurant they had arranged to meet Liu Jingze the day before.
"Godfather, aren't you going back this year?"
Liu Jingze nodded, "Your second uncle and his family of four went back. I just finished work here last night, so I'm not going back."
Zhang Zhenye put down his teacup. "Uncle, why don't you go home for dinner?"
Liu Jingze shook his head, "We're going to your third maternal grandmother's house. It's already arranged."
"Godfather, will you come over for dinner on the third day of the Lunar New Year? Qin Shuang and the others are coming to wish us a Happy New Year."
“Okay, I’ll go on the third day of the Lunar New Year, have a reunion with my classmates on the fourth, and go back to work on the sixth.” Liu Jingze is now a minister, holding a high position of power.
"Godfather, we'll go up the mountain on the ninth."
"Shall I treat you to dinner on the eighth night of the lunar new year?" Liu Jingze asked Xiao Wu with a smile.
"No need for that, you can just come over for dinner tonight."
"Okay, I'll definitely be there." Liu Jingze was very tolerant of Xiao Wu, and whatever he said went.
After the meal, they parted ways, and Zhenye, at the request of the three children, took them to the building.
The supply is plentiful now, and there are no more ration coupons, so it's incredibly crowded.
"Big brother, there are too many people!" Xiao Qi was startled.
"Yeah, brother, let's not go in. We don't need anything." Xiao Liu didn't like crowding around either.
Zhang Zhenye nodded with a smile; he disliked this even more.
"Big brother, shall we go find Ping An and the others to hang out?"
"Okay, I'll listen to the three of you this afternoon."
Looking at the three cheering children, Zhang Weiyu thought it was better to be young.
They arrived at 1:30 pm. Liu Maocai's family sat together chatting, including Shitou and Sanya.
Seeing the seven of them arrive, Li Cuihua was overjoyed and quickly went to prepare some food for them.
When Ping An saw his older and younger brothers coming over, he stopped sitting to the side reading and started talking to Zhang Weiyu, calling him "Third Brother" this and "Third Brother" that, with endless things to say.
After exchanging greetings, they went into the study together.
"Big brother, why are you still like this?" Zhang Zhenye and Pengfei sat together, not getting involved with their younger brothers.
"Zhenye, I really can't understand this woman."
"What? Your conflict hasn't been resolved yet?"
"Yeah, I don't know what she was thinking? We sat at the same table in our second year of high school, and gradually in our third year, we made our relationship clear. Back then, we studied together every day."
I used to be so happy back then, but why is it that now that we're going to school separately, we can't handle the challenges anymore?
"Brother, this is perfectly normal, okay? Some people say that distance makes the heart grow fonder, but I think distance can actually create a chasm."
"Yes, you're right."
"Brother, college students can get married too. Why don't you two just get married? That way you can both feel completely at ease."
"Sigh! I've thought about that too, and I've told her, but she doesn't agree. She wants to play for a few more years."
"Brother, you must have principles. You can compromise on some things, but you must not back down on others."
Our family is focused on practical matters; when you reach marriageable age, you should get married. Dragging it out like this isn't good for either of you.
"Yes, I understand that. My grandparents have been urging me several times to have her come to our house."
But I don't know why, she always hesitates.
Actually, I had already prepared for the worst, which was that she had someone else she liked.
To be honest, I'm very sad, but if she really doesn't care about me anymore, this can't go on.
Listening to Liu Pengfei's words, Zhang Zhenye felt that he was a sensible person, and that was fine.
Zhang Zhenye wouldn't say anything more; he understood what was going on.
They stayed there for two hours before going home.
In the evening, the whole family got together to make dumplings, and they came in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
The whole family was very happy, even though the dumplings turned into a soup, they were all willing to eat them.
"Wife, I feel so happy," Zhang Shouyi exclaimed.
"Me too, watching them grow up day by day, I am the happiest." Zhang Hongmei rarely thinks about her past life now, she has completely integrated into this place.
The family's routine remained unchanged on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year. They still went to the training room at five in the morning to practice. However, Zhang Ruifeng and Gu Yaozu were quite satisfied with the kung fu skills of Xiao Wu and the other two.
Seeing how solid their skills are, you can tell they must have done their best to learn.
Zhang Shouyi was even more proud; his son's excellence sometimes made him wake up smiling from his dreams.
When Zhang Hongmei and the other two came over to practice Tai Chi, they had already started practicing together.
Zhang Hongmei couldn't bear to watch her second son throw Xiao Wu out.
This pampered child showed no dissatisfaction or grievance, but instead kept rushing forward.
"Grandpa, this is masochism."
"Hehe, our Xiao Wu is doing great, he can hold on."
Zhang Hongmei couldn't stand it anymore, so she simply turned around and started practicing Tai Chi, out of sight, out of mind.
The two elderly people, however, watched with great interest. They knew that the second brother was sensible; it just looked scary, but Xiao Wu was actually nothing to worry about.
Xiao Wu was the smartest child in the eyes of the two elders. His mind was faster than Zhenye's and Lao San's, so they paid special attention to his education. Seeing Xiao Wu like this, they were at ease.
