Chapter 359 Far and Near
The second watch arrives——
In this day and age, the telephone is a rare thing, and the timeliness of communication cannot be as timely as in later generations. Therefore, Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan decided to return to the village early without having time to inform anyone.
Along the way, the couple were very excited. In addition to the excitement of seeing the familiar homeland, there was also the excitement of bringing surprises to their relatives.
Luo Xiaoqiong was also excited. After the car drove into the Hongqi Commune, she never took her eyes off the car glass—in order to allow herself to return in a fair manner, Chu Xia dragged Xiaoqiong Tongzi back.
Relatively speaking, the mood in early summer is much calmer.
One is that her feelings for Dalin Village are not very deep, and the other is that sending her parents home means that she will not see her parents for a while, which is really not something to be happy about.
Therefore, along the way, her emotions formed a sharp contrast with those of her parents and Luo Xiaoqiong. However, she also realized that for her parents, no matter how good the outside world is, it is not as good as Dalin Village. Only here can they feel their roots.
This made her very tangled, should she let her parents stay with her, or let them live with familiar people?
Jing Zhe has been watching her through the mirror, but, in front of so many people, he can't persuade her, and there is more worry in his eyes.
His current feeling for Chu Xia is more like that of his younger sister, but it seems to be a little closer than his younger sister.
Zeng Meili once asked him jokingly, if she and Chu Xia were in danger at the same time, who would his first reaction be to save. He thought about it carefully and answered truthfully. He will save Chu Xia.
He told Zeng Meili very clearly that he had an element of love for her now. But it hasn't reached the stage of being inseparable, and Chu Xia has the same position in his heart as his elder sister Jing Yi. However, because Chu Xia is his younger sister, he naturally has to cherish her more.
After he finished answering, there was obvious disappointment in Zeng Meili's eyes, but then she said with a frank smile. She had expected the answer to be like this a long time ago, and the reason why she still asked was to see how long it would take for her to occupy a position in his heart closer than that of her relatives.
Knowing that she gave him a step down, he was not without guilt at the time. It was his blessing that such a generous girl liked him.
He will completely transform his feelings for Chu Xia into family affection. And right now he cares about her because Zhou Mikang is not around, and there are more risk factors around her than Zeng Meili, when Zhou Mikang comes back. Naturally, he wouldn't mix it too much, a brother is a brother, there are some things.
It needs a husband to do it.
It's not that he didn't notice the car that had been following him, and he knew it. As long as he speaks, Jiang Qi and Ma Chao will immediately take over his position. However, he was reluctant, reluctant to give up the right to help her and care about her during this period of time.
Well, let them follow.
It's not that Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe didn't notice their daughter's depression, but at this moment, they knew that any comfort would be futile.
Parting is always a sad thing. They can only let go of their daughter faster if they act happier...
As usual, the car went to Xiaolin Village first.
"You... you..." Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao saw the group of people who came suddenly, and couldn't speak with excitement.
"Father, mother, we are back, is elder brother and sister-in-law at home?"
"Grandma, grandpa, we are back, miss us?"
"Grandpa, grandma, how are you two elders?
"Grandma, grandpa, do you still know me?"
Lin Baohe, Zhao Yulan and Chuxia Xiaoqiong Jingzhe stood under the kang, scrambling to say hello to the old couple, and finally calmed down the old couple. Mrs. Zhao was anxious to get off the kang to boil water, but Zhao Yulan hurriedly stopped her: "Mom, I Come, let Baohe and the children chat with you and Dad."
"Aunt Yulan, let me come." As the prospective daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, Luo Xiaoqiong blushed and competed with Zhao Yulan for a job. Let’s pretend to be able to do it here, if I let you light the fire, when will this pot of water be able to drink?”
"Yulan, how can you say that about a child?" Mrs. Zhao glared at her daughter and waved to Luo Xiaoqiong, "Xiaoqiong, come here, come and sit with grandma."
"Don't be coy, you're not the kind of coy person in the first place, it's too pretentious to pretend like that." Chu Xia pushed the flushed Luo Xiaoqiong to the old lady's side, and continued to tease, "Grandma, don't let her Lied, by the way, you have seen her look crazy before, she can't lie to you even if she wants to."
"I'm already an adult daughter-in-law, and I still talk so unforgivingly." Mrs. Zhao doted on her granddaughter's forehead dotingly, and looked at her granddaughter carefully with her eyes. After a while, she nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, it's better than when we left He got fatter, his face became ruddy, and his hair healed too, um, this is a good marriage, and he brought my Xia family over here, by the way, Xiaomi, why didn’t he come?"
"Yeah, where's Xiaomi?" Mr. Zhao also asked, "I was hoping that he would come back and have a drink with me. Why didn't this happen?"
"He was on a mission, and he couldn't come back for a while, so Brother Jing sent us back." Chu Xia said, dragging Jing Zhe to the front, "Grandma and grandpa still know Brother Jing, right?"
"This kid, why are you talking so sad?" Mr. Zhao looked helpless, "I've been calling him Xiaozhe for a long time, but you didn't listen? You even asked me if I knew him."
"That's right, I was also talking to Xiaozhe just now, this child..." Mrs. Zhao glanced at her granddaughter's belly while talking, "Xia, don't you have any happy events to tell grandma?"
"What's the happy event?" Chu Xia blinked, "Yes, yes, my father-in-law and the others have been rehabilitated, and the Zhou family is better than before."
The surprised old lady Zhao turned into a helpless expression after hearing this, "Aren't you happy to hear about this?" Chu Xia asked wonderingly.
"Happy, but your parents have already written about this matter, and it has already spread outside. What I want to know is other happy events."
"It's spread outside?" Chu Xia looked puzzled, "How is it possible, who will pass on the good news?" She was always worried that others would question the Zhou family. Deliberately putting gold on her family's face is unbelievable out of ten, so she was still thinking about how to make her parents not angry.
Mrs. Zhao shook her head: "I don't know who spread the word. Anyway, everyone in the village came to congratulate me, so we knew it was spread outside."
"Zhou Mikang did this." Jing Zhe interjected, "He was worried about this before, so he asked his acquaintances here to spread the news in advance. Some things need to be spread, which is actually not difficult. Son."
"You also participated." Chu Xia looked at him and asked in an affirmative tone.
"Grandpa's protégés are here, and I made use of them a little bit." Jing Zhe smiled embarrassedly, "I can't just watch the godfather and mother come back to be angry, can I?"
Both Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao knew what Jing Zhe was thinking. Although they were very grateful to him at this time, they didn't know how to say it, so they could only laugh along.
Seeing Jing Zhe's uneasiness, Lin Baohe hurriedly said: "Xiao Zhe, godfather and godmother won't be polite to you, who told you to be our Xia's elder brother, this child is younger than me, and I will be your godmother The most regretful thing is that there is no more one to accompany her, but fortunately, this child is a blessed one, and we can rest assured that we have the protection of your brother."
Jing Zhe looked at him gratefully, and said: "I treat Chu Xia as my own sister, besides, Zhou Mikang is not here, so my brother should help my sister more."
"Our family Xia is a blessed child." Mrs. Zhao may feel a little neglected by her future granddaughter-in-law after she finished speaking, so she hugged Luo Xiaoqiong, "Our family Qiliang is also blessed, such a good daughter-in-law gave us a gift in advance. Grabbing it, I feel at ease in my heart."
Zhao Yulan boiled water and came in, made tea, and the family sat on the kang to chat, and everyone talked about the things after they parted. When the sun was about to set, Zhao Yushan, Li Aiyuan and Zhao Qihui came back from work. Seeing this A large group of people were also extremely happy.
"Let's make dumplings tonight. It's just right. I cut a piece of meat today and haven't moved it yet." After saying hello, Li Aiyuan hurried to find the food village, and Zhao Yulan hurriedly grabbed her, "Sister-in-law, we are just waiting for you I came back to say hello with my elder brother before leaving. I don’t know if the house over there has been rented out. We originally said that we would come back in two days. When we came back so suddenly, we don’t know if they have moved out.
But fortunately, that house has a lot of rooms. We calculated that even if the old couple hadn't moved out, there were still three rooms to live in. They really couldn't fit in, and Gangshun's family could also live in it.
However, no matter what, we have to go back in advance to take a look and tidy up. It will be inconvenient not to be in the dark, and it will be even more troublesome if the old couple falls asleep. "
What Zhao Yulan said was reasonable, so Li Aiyuan stopped forcing her to stay and said, "Yulan, my sister-in-law won't play tricks with you, come back tomorrow so our family can have a good meal, okay?"
"Okay, let's come together tomorrow. Xia and Xiaoqiong took three days off. They will stay for one day tomorrow and have to leave the day after tomorrow. They will have dinner at home tomorrow and then go to her sister-in-law's house. Come back in the evening. The morning after tomorrow they Let's go, okay?"
"Yulan, Mom and Dad didn't love you for nothing, they know where you are and where you are..." Li Aiyuan smiled and looked at the old man and the old lady, "Father, Mother, Yulan misses you so much, doesn't she feel so beautiful?"
Zhao Yushan stared at his wife and said: "You are a sister-in-law, if you say this in front of your brother-in-law, you won't be afraid that your brother-in-law will take revenge on you."
Lin Baohe hurriedly said: "Brother, I don't hold grudges. What my sister-in-law said is the truth. I also feel that father-in-law and mother-in-law are closer. What Yulan said is exactly what I think."
