In fact, Hu Zi’s deepest impression of his biological father was the slap he slapped Zhang Weifang. This incident left a shadow in the little Hu Zi’s heart, so he chose to become a policeman.
In Hu Zi's heart, the police are just and omnipotent, and can protect whoever they want to protect.
When Hu Zi returned to the city, he began the handover work. He was about to turn 60 and would retire at the end of the year, so now he had basically handed over all his work.
Hu Zi probably told Zhang Weifang about his biological father. Zhang Weifang listened to it and then let it go. It didn't affect her life anyway.
Maybe this year is a turbulent time. During the National Day, Zhang Weifen also called and said that her husband Li Baoneng had also suffered a mild cerebral infarction and was now receiving intravenous drips in the hospital every day.
"Where is Li Ji? He hasn't found a job yet?" Zhang Weifang asked.
"Sister, I can't take care of his affairs anymore. He can't find a partner, and he doesn't work hard. He just smokes and plays with his phone at home every day."
Li Baoneng was discharged from the hospital after staying there for half a month. He was afraid that his job of sweeping the streets would be replaced by someone else. He had found this job with great difficulty. Without this job, his family would be left with nothing.
Li Ji was worried about his health, so he asked him to rest for a while before going back to work. The good-tempered Li Baoneng was so angry that he kicked him directly:
"If you had a little more courage, would I have to work so hard? You ungrateful thing, if you don't find a partner, what will you do when you get old?"
Li Ji was also very angry. It was so difficult to find a job now, and it wasn't that he didn't want to work hard. Why couldn't his parents understand him?
Finding a partner is even more infuriating. What kind of people are those who are introduced to him? They are either divorced or widowed, and some even have children. He is not a sucker, so he will not raise other people's children.
Li Ji is already 37 years old, but he feels good about himself and always thinks he can find a single woman.
In winter, Gou Xiao called Li Ji and said he wanted to introduce him to a girl. Gou Xiao was the most reliable person, so Zhang Weifen and Li Baoneng had great confidence in him, but Li Ji did not take it seriously.
The woman introduced by Gou Xiao is a relative of his wife. She is divorced and now works in the county town with a monthly salary of more than 4,000 yuan. She wants to find someone who owns a house so that she won’t have to rent one in the future.
Since the woman was so good, Li Ji also wanted to get in touch with her first.
On the day of the blind date, snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky, and the two people agreed to meet at the gate of Li Ji's community.
Li Ji saw that it was snowing and the northwest wind was blowing. He regretted it as soon as he stepped out of the door. It was too cold. Did he have to go on a blind date in this weather? He couldn't help but blame himself. He should have listened to his mother and put on more clothes before going out.
Now, wearing only a thin coat and a pair of jeans, he was shivering with cold. He secretly swore in his heart that if this blind date was not successful, he would never agree to his mother's arrangement again.
At this time, the woman called him and asked him to pick her up at the bus stop, as she was not sure where the community was exactly.
Li Ji hung up the phone as soon as he heard this. He turned around and walked home, feeling angry as he walked. What kind of person is this? He was asked to pick her up in the freezing weather. Why would he go on a blind date when he couldn't find a place?
The woman was not stupid either. She waited at the bus stop for half an hour but didn't see anyone, so she took the bus and left.
Zhang Weifen saw her son coming back so quickly and kept muttering in her heart:
"Li Ji, how was your conversation with the girl?"
"Mom, I didn't see anyone. It started snowing, so I came back."
"No way?" Zhang Weifen was puzzled. Since they had agreed on a blind date, how could there be no one there?
Just when Zhang Weifen was daydreaming, Gou Xiao called angrily:
"Auntie, Li Ji is so unreasonable. People have been waiting for him at the bus stop for half an hour, but he didn't even go. What on earth was he thinking?"
Zhang Weifen was also confused, and she quickly explained:
"Li Ji said he didn't see anyone, and I don't know what happened."
"Aunt, forget it. I was just being sentimental this time. You can worry about Li Ji's affairs yourself from now on!"
Zhang Weifen put down the phone and went to Li Ji to settle the score. When she learned that Li Ji had not gone to pick up the person, she was furious. She picked up the broom on the bed and threw it at Li Ji:
"I told you to run away, I told you to be disobedient, and now you've offended all your relatives. I think you'd better stay single!"
Li Ji didn't expect his mother to hit him, and he was unhappy:
"I'm happy to be single!"
It was snowing heavily and the New Year had arrived. This year was just like any other, nothing special.
After the Chinese New Year, Hu Zi also became a retired person. He would visit his parents' and uncle's houses every day. Although they were still in good health, he was still worried.
When he returns home, Hu Zi helps with cooking and taking care of his granddaughter. His retirement life is busy and fulfilling.
Now, their son and daughter-in-law also live with them, but they pay their living expenses on time every month. Although Hu Zi feels it is troublesome, he still chooses to accept this situation. After all, his son is his own, and it is not easy for him to refuse directly.
That day, Hu Zi came to the compound to visit his parents again. On the way, he met Zhang Weicun, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and Mao Tu was with him.
"Uncle, aunt."
"Hey, Huzi, are you here to see your parents?"
"Yeah, that's right."
The relationship between Hu Zi and Zhang Weicun has always been rather distant, so everyone just tries to be nice to each other for the sake of face.
Huzi went to his parents' house and told them about his encounter with his uncle. Zhang Weifang still found it strange:
"Didn't he and Maotu divorce? Are they remarrying now?"
That night, Zhang Weifang went to her brother's house. Zhang Weicun and Mao Tu were having dinner. When they saw her coming, they warmly invited her to eat with them.
Zhang Weifang didn't exchange pleasantries, but asked directly:
"You two are back together again?"
"Yes, sister, Maotu has returned from his hometown."
Zhang Weifang looked at them and said:
"Live well, we are not young anymore, don't quarrel."
The next day, Zhang Weicun came to her house alone, and Zhang Weifang found out that Mao Tu was back together with her ex-husband, but they couldn't stay together in the end.
Last year, Mao Tu’s grandson went to kindergarten, and she remembered Zhang Weicun’s kindness. She had nowhere to go, so she came back.
Zhang Weicun is now retired and at home. He is willing to let Mao Tu come back. After all, people need a companion when they get old. Mao Tu and he have spent their whole lives together, and they still understand each other. It is better than finding someone new.
After Mao Tu came back, Zhang Weicun felt a lot more relaxed cooking and cleaning the house every day, so he didn't care about the previous troubles anymore.
