It snowed heavily, and Jichun City was covered with a thick layer of silver. In the early morning, Zhou Rong ignored the severe cold outside and just had fun on the snow outside.
"Come back quickly!"
Finally, Li Suhua couldn't stand it anymore and called her daughter back with a sullen face.
"You are so old, but you are still as ugly as a child, aren't you ugly?"
As Li Suhua spoke, she reached out and brushed the snowflakes off Zhou Rong's body.
"There are no outsiders."
Zhou Rong curled her lips and cooed softly.
"What did you say?"
Li Suhua's eyes widened and she immediately reached out to give her daughter a few chestnuts.
"nothing."
After saying these words, Zhou Rong slipped into the house as if she were running away. As soon as she entered the house, she went straight to the back room.
winter!
winter!
winter!
Standing at the door of the back room, Zhou Rong banged the door loudly.
"Zhou Bingkun, if you don't get up yet, the sun will be shining on your butt!"
Hearing the noise coming from outside the door, Li Jie couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows. He had been awake for a while, and he heard everything that happened outside just now.
Zhou Rong was obviously taking out her anger on him.
This little girl has been letting herself go more and more recently in her films.
"What's the fuss about?"
Before Li Jie could respond, Li Suhua's voice came from outside the door.
"Your brother comes back once in a while, let him sleep a little longer."
"Mom, you are too partial!"
Zhou Rong couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard this and complained.
"That's not what you said when you woke me up this morning."
As she spoke, Zhou Rong pointed to the watch on her arm.
"Besides, look what time it is now. It's half past nine. We have to go to the train station to pick someone up later."
Seeing that her daughter was contradicting her, Li Suhua glared at Zhou Rong again.
"It's only half past nine. Your brother and your sister-in-law won't arrive until twelve noon. It's still early."
Zhou Rong sighed and deliberately looked solemn.
"Mom, just admit it, you are partial."
"right!"
Li Suhua nodded and said: "I'm just biased. If you can make me worry less, I'm biased too. What's wrong?"
Seeing my mother's generous admission, Zhou Rong immediately had no choice but to tilt her head and rush towards the door with her long legs.
After Zhou Rong left, Li Suhua knocked on the door and spoke softly.
"Bingkun, pack up quickly and get ready to pick up your brother and your sister-in-law at the station."
"It'll be ready soon."
Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei have been away for two years, and it is not easy for them to come back to visit relatives this year. Naturally, Li Jie will not forget to pick them up.
In order to have a hard-won reunion, Li Jie specially asked for a long vacation from the village and rushed back last night despite the snow and wind.
Half a month ago, Li Jie received a letter from Zhou Bingyi and learned that he and Hao Dongmei were coming back to celebrate the New Year. At that time, Li Jie was surprised for a while.
In the letter, Zhou Bingyi also explained that the reason why he was able to come back was because he took two vacations at the same time.
Family visit leave + marriage leave, the two holidays are combined, so that I have time to return to Jichun.
If it's just a simple visit to relatives, you probably won't be able to come back.
Not long after, Li Jie got dressed and walked out of the room.
"Mom, have you done it over there? Are you ready to go?"
"It'll be ready soon."
Li Suhua's voice came from the kitchen.
"Wait while I stew the old hen. It will be ready in a while."
Although it is not the first time for Hao Dongmei to come to the Zhou family, the meaning of this time is different. Today is the first time for Hao Dongmei as the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family to come to the house.
Today is not only a reunion dinner, but also a wedding banquet.
They missed the wedding banquet when they got married, but they made up for it today.
"Auntie, it smells so good."
At this time, Cai Xiaoguang happened to walk into the small courtyard, smelling the aroma in the air, and he quickly flattered him.
"Xiao Guang comes to pull."
Li Suhua wiped her hands with her apron, walked to the kitchen door, and pointed toward the room.
"You go in first, sit down and chat for a while, I'll be here for a while."
After two years, the son and daughter-in-law finally came back. Their return was a top priority for the Zhou family.
For this reason, Li Suhua called Cai Xiaoguang early and asked him to come over today.
In her eyes, Cai Xiaoguang is no longer an outsider, but the prospective son-in-law of the Zhou family.
Behind closed doors, everyone is a family, so naturally Cai Xiaoguang should be invited to the eldest brother and sister-in-law's wedding banquet.
Even if today is New Year's Eve.
"Auntie, I'm here to help you!"
With that said, Cai Xiaoguang took off his gloves and turned around to walk to the kitchen.
Cai Xiaoguang has been very busy recently, and the number of visits to Zhou's house has become less frequent. Today, he finally took advantage of the opportunity, and he had to perform well.
"You go inside, we don't need you here."
Li Suhua waved her hand quickly, saying that the mother-in-law became more satisfied with her son-in-law the more she looked at him, and the same was true for Li Suhua when she looked at Cai Xiaoguang.
Nowadays, Cai Xiaoguang's status in her heart is higher than Zhou Rong's, so how could she let Cai Xiaoguang help in the kitchen.
"Just stop making trouble."
Zhou Rong on the side poked Cai Xiaoguang with her elbow, then took his hand and said.
"Come in and sit for a while, your hands are cold."
"Brother Xiaoguang, are you here?"
Hearing the noise outside, Li Jie came over.
"Bingkun, you just came back last night, right?"
Cai Xiaoguang nodded with a smile. Recently, the two of them had been in frequent contact. He knew Li Jie's whereabouts very well.
"Well, I just got home last night."
A few days ago, Cai Xiaoguang, or to be precise, Cai Xiaoguang's father, really helped me a lot.
The factory in Xiaoqingshan Village has been established for more than half a year, although due to technical proficiency, some complex furniture has not yet been produced.
But at any rate, after such a long time, the factory did have a lot of backlog of goods.
Once the furniture is produced, it naturally has to be sold out.
In order to expand sales channels, Li Jie wrote a letter to Cai Xiaoguang, intending to ask him to help.
In fact, Li Jie's letter was not written to Cai Xiaoguang, but to Cai Xiaoguang's father.
At the end of last year, Cai Xiaoguang's father took off his military uniform and was transferred to the Department of Commerce as the top leader.
Cai Xiaoguang's father was a soldier, and the economic field was a relatively unfamiliar field to him.
However, it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. Since the transfer order was issued from above, Cai Xiaoguang's father resolutely chose to take office.
Having known Cai Xiaoguang for so long, Li Jie knows a little bit about his father's personality.
Cai Xiaoguang's father is not very old. Even though he was transferred to a relatively unfamiliar position, his pursuit has not changed.
How to achieve something became the first problem he faced after taking office.
And Li Jie also wanted to leave something behind in Xiaoqingshan Village, so he wrote that letter just to get what he wanted.
If Father Cai is willing to help, Li Jie will naturally give him the results he wants.
