.
On New Year's Eve, before Zhou Chen got up, Li Suhua knocked on his door.
"Kun'er, your eldest brother and sister-in-law are back today. You and Juan'er get up early and ride to the station to pick them up. They have never been here before and they will definitely not be found."
Zhou Chen helplessly lifted the quilt and said loudly: "Mom, it's only five o'clock. It's not even bright outside yet. Brother's train will arrive in the afternoon, and there are still several hours left."
Ever since she learned about her eldest son Zhou Bingyi's train time, Li Suhua has been talking about it all day long. This is not the first time she has said it. She said it several times just last night.
"Kun'er, what if your eldest brother and the others arrive first? We said in the letter that we will pick him up. He will definitely be waiting at the train station when he arrives. It's so cold, what if he gets frostbite?"
Zhou Chen said loudly: "Then if you ask me to wait early, you won't worry about me getting frostbite?"
"Then you can wear more clothes."
"I……"
Zhou Chen was speechless when he heard this. His eldest son came back, and his younger son suddenly lost popularity.
Zheng Juan had already sat up, pushed Zhou Chen, and said: "Get up, otherwise mom will be anxious again. What mom said makes sense. If big brother and the others arrive early and can't see us, they will be anxious."
Zhou Chen sighed, sat up from the bed, and sighed: "You are the daughter-in-law here. Whatever the mother-in-law says is whatever she says. There is no distinction between right and wrong."
Zheng Juan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't I respect our mother? Do you want to see us confront each other?"
"You have become eloquent now."
Zhou Chen shook his head and got up to get dressed. Zheng Juan also got up to help. The two walked out of the room and found Li Suhua still standing at their door.
"Mom, is this necessary? I'm already up."
Li Suhua rolled her eyes at him and snorted coldly: "I'm not urging you, can you get up? The meal is already ready. Go wash up quickly and then eat."
Zhou Chen said to Zheng Juan: "You go and see Guangming and Ruirui, I'll go wash up first."
Last night, Zhou Ruifei wanted to sleep with Uncle Guangming. Zheng Juan had no choice but to let him go. Although Zheng Guangming could not see, he still had a way of taking care of children. Zheng Juan got up and looked at Zhou Ruifei twice at night.
The quilts are all well covered.
Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan finished washing and sat at the dining table. Li Suhua had already served breakfast and steamed buns.
"Kun'er, Juan'er, you eat first and eat more. Your eldest brother and the others don't know what time they will arrive. Eat more and they will be hungry."
Zhou Chen picked up the steamed bun and took a bite, "Mom, there's no need to be in such a hurry. The train will only be late, not early."
"That's not sure. It's not a bad thing to be early anyway. After you finish eating, each of you can ride a bicycle to the station. One bicycle is definitely not enough." Li Suhua ordered.
Zhou Chen raised his head and said to Li Suhua with a very serious expression: "Mom, it's okay if you let me go, but Juan'er can't go."
Li Suhua looked confused: "Why? If Juan'er doesn't go, how can you ride two bicycles by yourself? If it's because of Ruirui, then there is no need to worry. I am at home and there is light, Ruirui
no problem."
"It's not because of Ruirui, it's because it's too cold and there's ice on the road. Juan'er can't ride a bicycle, let alone the cold wind."
"Mom, she has Juan'er."
Li Suhua was a little unhappy at first, but when she heard the last sentence, she was overjoyed.
"Ah, Juan'er is here?"
Zheng Juan nodded shyly and said, "Yeah."
Li Suhua asked: "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?"
Zheng Juan said: "It was Bingkun who discovered it a few days ago. Later I found out that it hadn't happened for a long time, so I was sure it was there."
Li Suhua laughed happily: "Okay, okay, this is a great thing. This Spring Festival this year is really great. Juan'er, you are a great contributor to our Zhou family. If our family can be reunited this year, maybe it will be
It’s great to have the light of the little one in your belly.”
After feeling happy, Li Suhua frowned again: "Juan'er is pregnant and it's really not suitable to go out. Kun'er, how are you going to pick up your elder brother and sister-in-law? You can't fit three people in one car, right?"
"What are you thinking about? Mom, don't worry. I've made an agreement with Guo Qing to ask him to pick someone up with me. He should be here after a while."
Not long ago, Xiao Guoqing and his wife came to our house to beg for help again. Naturally, the purpose was still for the house. This time, Xiao Guoqing, an honest man, really lowered his head and begged.
Because Wu Qian was pregnant, it was really inconvenient to squeeze in with a big family during the Chinese New Year, so she had to borrow a house.
Last time, it was because of the entanglement between Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao that Zhou Chen didn't lend out the house. This time, Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian had very good attitudes, so Zhou Chen didn't embarrass them and agreed to lend them the house for a period of time.
Neither Li Suhua nor Zhou Zhigang objected to this, because the whole family was coming back to celebrate the New Year this year, and the house in Guangzhou could not accommodate them, so they had already decided to live in this house this year.
There are three rooms here. Even if everyone comes back, they will definitely be able to live there. The family has not seen each other for several years, so if they can live comfortably, they must live more comfortably.
Li Suhua was relieved when she heard that Xiao Guoqing was coming later.
"That's good. Two cars are enough."
Xiao Guoqing arrived at around nine o'clock in the morning. He didn't stay long after arriving when he was urged by the impatient Li Suhua to go to the train station with Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen and Xiao Guoqing were sitting in the lobby of the train station. Xiao Guoqing asked doubtfully: "Kun'er, isn't your eldest brother arriving in the afternoon? Why do we have to come so early?"
Zhou Chen just said: "That's because you don't understand how a mother misses her son."
As expected, the train was delayed. The train was supposed to arrive after one in the afternoon, but it didn't arrive until after three o'clock.
While waiting, Zhou Chen and Xiao Guoqing also had lunch, which cost more than three yuan. The hotels at the train station were indeed much more expensive than other places.
Zhou Bingyi was carrying a military backpack and a handbag in his hand. He held Hao Dongmei tightly with his other hand, and the two of them finally squeezed out of the crowd.
"I haven't been back for a long time. There are so many people here."
Returning to Jichun City for the first time after many years, Hao Dongmei looked at the bustling train station and said with emotion.
Zhou Bingyi said with a smile: "That's for sure. We have a lot of people in Jichun. It's the Chinese New Year again, so there must be more people coming and going. Let's go out first. Bingkun should be waiting for us outside."
As soon as he came out of the station, Zhou Bingyi heard countless shouts with various names, and it was impossible to tell who was following whom.
Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei looked around, trying to find someone in the crowd, but their eyes were dazzled and they couldn't find them.
Just then, a shout was suddenly heard.
"Brother, Zhou Bingyi, here."
Hao Dongmei heard it first and quickly pushed Zhou Bingyi: "Bingyi, I heard someone calling you again."
"I heard it too, I'll look for it."
Zhou Bingyi also heard it, and then he opened his eyes wide and started looking. (To be continued.)
