Chapter 505 Zhou Nan
Xia Zhizhi's second brother Xia Zhuoran arrived home on the night of the 30th.
As usual, Xia Zhizhi and the driver went to the airport to pick up the person. Fortunately, the plane was on time and Xia Zhizhi picked up the person on time.
The future of the second sister-in-law is a little different from what Xia Zhizhi imagined.
Xia Zhizhi had previously thought that her second brother would find a gentle and considerate sister-in-law.
The girl was tall, only half a head shorter than his second brother, with bright features and a firm gaze. One could tell at a glance that she was a very opinionated person.
The two walked in unison. After seeing Xia Zhizhi, Xia Zhuoran brought his future second sister-in-law and quickly walked up to Xia Zhizhi and introduced the two to each other: "Zhizhi, this is Comrade Zhou Nan, the nominal Nan of Lampang."
"This is my sister Xia Zhizhi, the Zhi in Zhilan Yushu."
"Hello, Sister Zhou Nan. You must have had a hard time flying. Let's go home soon!" Xia Zhizhi stretched out her hand to shake hands with Zhou Nan. She could feel the thick fur on her palm, and it was obvious that she had practiced with real guns and live ammunition.
When we got home, it was already dark. My second uncle's family and my third brother and his wife had all returned, and the New Year's Eve dinner was set, just waiting for the three of them to come back and eat.
Xia Zhizhi was still loud and started shouting as soon as she entered the yard: "Grandma, we're back!"
After entering the living room, she took off her coat and sat next to Zeng Zelan. Xia Zhuoran took Zhou Nan and introduced her to everyone: "Comrade Zhou Nan, this is my grandfather, my grandmother, my father, my mother..."
Comrade Zhou Nan was estimated to have a good family background. He did not show any sign of shyness and greeted everyone in a very generous manner.
The Xia family is a military family, and they don't want to marry a daughter-in-law who is easy to control. So when they get home, they naturally admire a female comrade like Zhou Nan from top to bottom.
After recognizing her, Pan Wenjun pulled her to a seat: "Come, come, come, sit down and eat. It's already this late, you must be hungry. I don't know what your taste is, so I made it based on my guess. Let's make do with it today. If it doesn't suit your taste, tell your aunt."
The reunion dinner of the Xia family and Xia Zhizhi's material support have nothing to do with confrontation.
Pan Wenjun said as she picked up some more food for Zhou Nan: "Eat more. This is your own home. We are all family. Don't be polite. Don't be shy to pick up your chopsticks."
After the happy meal, Zhou Nan took out the gifts he had prepared for the elders, and Xia Zhizhi also took out the clothes that Pan Wenjun asked her to buy during the meal.
Of course it’s impossible to buy them, as they are all stock in her space.
After picking up the person, she visually assessed Zhou Nan's figure, and on the way home, she put on a set for her in the space.
When Pan Wenjun stuffed the clothes into Zhou Nan's hands, she finally showed a hint of embarrassment like a girl of her age: "This, this is so embarrassing."
Pan Wenjun patted her hands and said, "Why are you embarrassed? All the children in our family are the same. Tao Tao and Zhili have them too. I asked your little sister to choose the clothes. She has a pretty good taste in clothes, but I don't know if they will fit you. Try them on later. If they don't fit, ask Ah Zhi to make some changes."
When Zhou Nan heard that everyone would be treated equally, he stopped being shy and went to change his clothes generously.
Zhou Nan and Xia Zhuoran were both in the southernmost unit, where the weather was warm and there were few thick clothes for sale in the market.
At first, Zhou Nan didn't want to meet her parents so soon and didn't plan to come back with Xia Zhuoran this year. Later, Xia Zhuoran persuaded her.
Zhou Nan was a straightforward girl. Since she felt it was okay, she didn't hesitate. After talking to her family, she took the gifts prepared by her family and flew north. So she didn't prepare any thick clothes, and she still wore her military uniform.
Xia Zhizhi chose the clothes after assessing her figure, and they didn't fit her well.
Both the style and the size fit Zhou Nan very well, a perfect match for the heroine Sister Yu.
Pan Wenjun pulled her aside and exclaimed: "That's why they say that people of the same family are like birds of a feather. Look at this dress, it fits so well. It should be worn by our Nan Nan!"
Although the young couple must have been tired after rushing back from the flight, today was New Year's Eve after all. After asking Zhou Nan about her condition, everyone cleared the dinner table and started eating melon seeds and snacks to celebrate the new year.
Of course, Xia Zhizhi was an exception. She ate two oranges, then carried her big package and went to Zhonglanhai with Xia Bangguo to collect her year-end bonus.
Giving gifts is actually a very pleasant thing from a certain perspective.
Anyway, Xia Zhizhi really felt happy.
This year's share was the same as in previous years. She flattered and coaxed the old man for a while, paid her New Year's greetings, and then followed Xia Bangguo home.
Soon after we set out for Zhonglanhai, it started snowing. Snowing on New Year's Eve was a good sign. When we came back, there was a thick layer of snow on the ground.
Xia Zhizhi called out to everyone: "It's snowing, come out and see!"
Although Zhou Nan's ancestral home is in the north, he has been in the southern army since he was a child. This is the first time he has seen snow in his life, and he finds it quite novel.
Xia Zhizhi played with her in the snow for a while, and when it was almost 12 o'clock, the two of them hurried into the house, covering their frozen fingers.
After twelve o'clock, it is customary to greet the elders and receive red envelopes.
Xia Zhizhi received a few and also took a few out.
Little Wang Zhao had fallen asleep a long time ago. I don’t know what delicious food he was eating in his dream. He kept smacking his lips and grabbing things with his little hands.
Xia Zhizhi stuffed a huge red envelope into her hand, and she immediately held it tightly.
The child's hands were very strong, and Xia Qingqing couldn't pull the red envelope out.
Seeing that Xia Qingqing wanted to operate with both hands, Xia Zhizhi stopped her: "Sister, what are you doing? This is the New Year's gift for Zhao Zhao. Let our Zhao Zhao keep it for himself. You are not allowed to keep it for him!"
"What a money-grubber! He won't spend the money once he gets it." Xia Qingqing tapped Wang Zhao's little nose.
He also said to Xia Zhizhi: "You just keep pampering her and giving her all the good things. When she grows up, she will be able to get a lot of dowry from you alone."
Xia Zhizhi didn't care: "It's not a dowry. If she wants to get married, she can get married. If she doesn't want to get married, she doesn't have to. This is for my niece. When she learns to spend money, she can buy her delicious food, a little skirt, or something she likes. You can buy anything."
Xia Qingqing said helplessly: "Okay, let her learn from you. If she can't learn anything else, can she learn it even if she spends money?"
Then she murmured softly, "You are so young, and you are so stubborn. When you get into trouble, you will come to your aunt and have a bad temper. I wonder if you will be annoyed..."
"Our Zhaozhao is the most well-behaved child and will never cause any trouble." Xia Zhizhi didn't care.
Xia Jingjing also chimed in: "Yes, that's right, we girls don't cause trouble, it's the boys who cause trouble!"
After coaxing the children for a while, Xia Zhizhi took out the scarves she had prepared and gave one to each child.
Seeing that it was getting late, the children began to doze off. Xia Zhizhi's parents, two brothers, and second uncle's family drove home to sleep, and everyone else went back to their rooms.
