Chapter 222 The New Year is Coming
Zhou's mother was busy preparing things for the New Year, so the task of taking care of the two children naturally fell to Zhou Yuheng and Xu Qingluo.
However, with Zhou Yushu and his wife around, there is someone around Zhou's mother who can lend a hand.
The family members work together, each doing their own job, and the time has officially entered the new year.
1975 was a peaceful year before the arrival of light.
As the new year arrived, Zhou Yuze and Chen Xiangyan's family hurried back to celebrate the New Year.
After Chen Xiangyan learned that Xu Qingluo gave birth to twin sons.
In addition, Grandpa Zhou held a full-moon banquet for Xu Qingluo’s two sons.
Chen Xiangyan felt like she had a lump in her heart during this period and couldn't sleep all night.
Zhou Yuze and Chen Xiangyan had originally come back once in the middle of the year.
Zhou Yuze didn't have much vacation time left.
Zhou Yuze's vacation is only about half a month, and it takes half a month to go there and back by train.
But even so, Chen Xiangyan still insisted on taking her three children back to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year.
If their family doesn't come back, wait until Xu Qingluo's two children become close to Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou.
I’m afraid her two sons will have no place in the Zhou family in the future.
Chen Xiangyan alone was not strong enough, so she could only ask her three children to talk to Zhou Yuze.
The three children didn't know what was going on between the adults.
They really missed their grandparents.
Zhou Yuze was naturally pleased that the three children wanted to celebrate the New Year with their grandparents.
Without saying a word, I applied for leave and took my three children back to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year.
Even though it's tiring to travel back and forth, Zhou Yuze feels it's worth it as his three children are so filial.
In this way, Chen Xiangyan and her family returned to Kyoto on the afternoon of New Year's Eve.
Xu Qingluo didn't know these things.
Zhou's mother and Zhou Er's aunt were preparing New Year's goods for the family, and Zhou Er's aunt said this during their conversation.
When Aunt Zhou heard that her three grandchildren missed her and Uncle Zhou, she didn't doubt it much.
But as an outsider, Zhou's mother saw things more clearly than Zhou Er's aunt.
I only have half a month of vacation, and I have to run back and forth with my three children.
It’s not as simple as just coming back to celebrate the New Year.
It’s just that Aunt Zhou is so focused on having her grandchildren come back for the New Year that she hasn’t really experienced the joy of it yet.
However, Zhou's mother felt that Zhou Er's aunt would react in a few days.
After all, it is impossible for Chen Xiangyan to be so honest all the time.
Xu Qingluo sat in the living room eating fruit and listened to Zhou's mother's analysis, which he felt made sense.
"My cousin looked quite clever when he was little."
"Why are you going backwards now?"
Zhou Yushu couldn't help but complain.
You should know that when he was a child, Zhou Yuze could be said to be the smartest child in the family.
Especially when disputes arise among the women in the family, Zhou Yuze has been able to act as a mediator since he was a child.
But after getting married, he became more and more lively.
Zhou's father and Zhou Yuheng sat on the sofa, each holding a child, and occasionally picked up a small bronze drum to entertain the children.
"Xiaoshu, stop talking about the Second House's affairs."
"Your second uncle and second aunt are not senile yet."
Zhou's father reminded Zhou Yushu that after all, Zhou Yuze was the eldest son of Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou.
He is Zhou Yushu's cousin again, and Zhou Yushu talks about him privately, which is not very good.
"understood."
Zhou Yushu immediately shut up and stopped talking about Uncle Zhou's family. He quietly amused his little nephew.
"Uncle, let me hug my brother."
Wei Yingdong looked at the baby in Zhou Yuheng's arms with envy.
But Wei Yingdong himself is still a 6-year-old child.
Even if Zhou Yuheng wanted to hold him, Wei Yingdong's small body was not up to the task.
"Just your small body?"
"You should eat more."
Wei Huozhen glanced at his son with disdain.
When Wei Yingdong heard his father's disdainful tone, he was so angry that he raised his fist and went forward to fight his father.
Wei Huozhen didn't even need to use any strength. With a gentle push, Wei Yingdong sat down on the ground.
This fall was a hard one.
"Still want to beat your father?"
"Practice more."
Wei Yingdong was stunned by the beating, and ran to Zhou's father, crying and complaining.
"Grandpa!"
"My dad beat me again!"
Father Zhou looked at Wei Huozhen with a cold face.
Wei Huozhen received a warning look from his father-in-law and shut up.
Father Zhou snorted coldly, reached out and touched Wei Yingdong's head to comfort him.
"Ignore your dad."
"Your dad is just idle."
Wei Huozhen: “….”
Just say yes.
Xu Qingluo saw Wei Yingdong crying with tears and snot.
He quickly took out a handful of White Rabbit candies and gave them to Wei Yingdong.
"do not Cry."
"Don't make your face hurt from crying."
In the winter, cheeks are prone to frostbite. If they are wet with tears, they will definitely turn red.
In severe cases, it may dry out and crack.
Wei Yingdong stopped crying after getting the White Rabbit milk candy.
Zhou Yushu snatched the White Rabbit candy from his son's hand and only left him two.
"You can only eat two candies during your teething period."
"As your mother, I'll help you eat the remaining candy."
After Zhou Yushu finished speaking, he peeled a White Rabbit candy and put it in his mouth.
Wei Yingdong was so fast that he didn't even react.
Wei Yingdong: “…”
I want to cry even more.
Father Zhou and the two children in Zhou Yuheng's arms turned to look at Wei Yingdong, their eyes filled with doubt and confusion.
Why is my brother crying?
"Ahhhhh~"
The two children cried out, and Wei Yingdong burst into tears again when he heard his two younger brothers trying to comfort him.
"Brother!"
"Brother, I am suffering!"
"Damn it!"
Wei Yingdong hugged his two younger brothers and cried uncontrollably. His family members were amused when they saw this scene.
Xiaoman and Xiaoyuan: “….”
......
......
New Year’s Eve: It is a good day for family reunion.
Tonight’s family reunion dinner was not eaten at Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou’s house, but directly at Father Zhou’s house.
It is not convenient to carry two children out.
Grandpa and Grandma Zhou wanted to have a reunion dinner with their two great-grandchildren, so they decided to celebrate the New Year at Zhou's father's house this year.
We just live next door anyway, so it doesn’t matter where we celebrate the New Year, as long as the whole family is together.
Even on New Year's Eve, Zhou's father and Uncle Zhou still had to go to the military area to work.
Aunt Zhou came to the Zhou family early in the morning with her three sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren.
The children in the family all ran to the yard to play.
The bird's nest that Wei Yingdong brought back last year has two more little birds this year.
Bird's nests seem to have a natural attraction for children.
They all gathered around the bird's nest and were reluctant to leave.
If the adults hadn't called them to eat, I'm afraid the children would have squatted there and watched all day.
The elders in the family were all in the room watching Xiaoman and Xiaoyuan. The room was crowded with people and it was very lively.
The two children were not afraid when they saw so many people, but were full of curiosity.
Chen Xiangyan stood beside the crib and looked at the two identical children, feeling indescribably sad.
