A trip starting from the courtyard

"Chunyan is here, come in quickly." Mother Zhou came to the living room when she heard the movement, and greeted her goddaughter warmly.

Chunyan looked at the meat skewers and four big hams under the eaves of the porch, pushed the door open and entered the room, "Godmother, where are my brother and sister-in-law?"

"I'm going to buy new year's goods." Zhou's mother greeted her goddaughter and entered the back room. Chunyan saw that the kang was covered with pure white cotton, and said in surprise, "Godmother, where did you get so much new cotton?" She stepped forward After grabbing a handful, it felt soft to the touch. It was really a good thing, "It weighs more than 20 catties, right?"

"A total of 25 catties, obtained through Kunto's connection."

Qiao Chunyan glanced at the new quilts next to her, "How many new quilts are you going to make for my brother? There's so much cotton, can't you use it up?"

"Not only from Bingkun, but also from Bingkun's father. This year, Bingkun's father also came back to celebrate the New Year. When the New Year is over, we will take them to Sichuan and Sichuan together." Mother Zhou smiled and took out the tin box containing melon seeds. Let’s make new clothes for Bingkun, Lili and Dudu.”

Chunyan grabbed a handful of melon seeds and cracked two, "The Chinese New Year is only a few days away, godmother, can you do it by yourself?"

"Isn't there Bingkun's daughter-in-law?" Zhou's mother smiled even more when she mentioned Fu Lili. The youngest daughter-in-law can not only cook well, but also needlework, and cook quickly and well. When cooking, the seasoning is a bit extravagant.

At this moment, Qiao Chunyan glanced at the sewing machine by the wall, and it turned out to be a Mingzhu brand, which was more than 50 yuan more expensive than the sewing machine her partner prepared.
In an instant, the melon seeds in my mouth were no longer fragrant.

Xu Dudu looked at the so-called 'godmother' melon seeds flying around, and secretly cursed a few words, calling a big reporter, so uncivilized
"Jingle Bell"

"It's mom and uncle coming back." Xu Dudu rushed out of the house, Chunyan turned sideways and looked out through the glass window, the two people's car was full of new year's goods.

"Hey, why does this Dudu still call me Uncle Brother?"

Zhou's mother was a little embarrassed, "Dudu is used to yelling, so Bingkun didn't let her change her words."

"Mom, uncle." Xu Dudu rushed into the small courtyard, "Mom, did you buy the plasticine and 200 rings?"

"Bought it."

"Where, where?"

Fu Lili untied two relatively light nylon bags and handed them to her daughter. Xu Dudu took them over and looked at them. The other glass bottles of vinegar and soy sauce were filled with unknown contents, and there were also a few kraft paper bags. , she sniffed it closer, it was delicious.
"Brother, sister-in-law, what do you buy for the New Year?" Qiao Chunyan came to the small courtyard, reached out to take the two bags, and at the same time, her eyes scanned the things on the two cars back and forth like a radar, and Wang Lidong moved the two bags. Big bag of flour, "just some rice flour, grain and oil,"

There are many people and strength, and within a short time, more than a dozen packages of things were all moved into the house. Xu Dudu was busy opening the treasure chest game, looking for her plasticine and 200 rings. There were bags of pastries, Xu Dudu's eyes lit up, and she reached out to open the bag. It was her favorite glutinous rice sticks. She was about to pick up one, when suddenly her paw was hit, and she grinned in pain. Looking up, the old lady was Staring at her fiercely. "How did mom teach you?"

"Wash your hands before eating." Xu Dudu pursed his mouth, reluctantly fetched water, washed his hands, and when he returned to the table, where are the glutinous rice noodles?

She looked all over the table, but she couldn't find her beloved glutinous rice noodles, "Mom, where are the glutinous rice noodles?"

"Dinner is coming soon, what snacks are you having?" Fu Lili stuffed two boxes of playdough into her daughter's hand, "Uncle bought two boxes of your playdough specially for you."

Seeing her daughter holding plasticine and going into the back room, "Duddu, how did mom teach you?!"

Xu Dudu stopped the car and said to Wang Lidong, "Thank you uncle."

Wang Lidong took out more than a dozen comic books from his bag and gave them to the little girl, "Go and play."

"Thank you, Uncle," the little guy happily hopped into the inner room with a lot of toys in his hands.
Wang Lidong glanced at Qiao Chunyan who was discussing a roll of floral cloth with his wife, "You are so busy these days, why come to my house when you have time?"

Qiao Chunyan took out a red piece of paper from her pocket, and Wang Lidong took it. It turned out to be a wedding invitation, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, at eleven o'clock at noon, Chaoyang State-run Hotel.

"Yo, so formal."

"Chen Lei said that colleagues in the newspaper office will send out invitations when they get married, so we will do as the Romans do." Qiao Chunyan said a few words before turning to the 72 legs, "Brother, when will the work be finished?"

Wang Lidong poured a bag of peanuts into a tin biscuit tin, "There are only two chairs left, two days at most."

"Can it be painted tomorrow?"

"sure."

Qiao Chunyan hugged his arm, "Great, thank you brother, you have helped me a lot."

Wang Lidong slapped her paw away, "The one who is getting married soon, pay attention to the influence."

Qiao Chunyan grinned, "What's the matter, you're my brother, sister-in-law sure doesn't mind, right?"

Fu Lili smiled and nodded.

"Look, my sister-in-law didn't say anything."

"I'm not your brother!" Wang Lidong checked the time, "It's time for dinner, so I won't keep you."

"Stingy, brother, you were not like this before, but now you are getting more and more stingy,"

Qiao Chunyan complained a few words, then turned around and went into the back room to say hello to her godmother, and told her to arrive early on the second day of junior high school. Seeing that her goddaughter was about to leave, Zhou's mother called Wang Lidong to take the largest ham from the eaves of the porch, and then As her godmother's wedding gift to her goddaughter.

Qiao Chunyan hugged Zhou's mother and said, "The godmother loves me the most." Before leaving, she didn't forget to wave the big ham in his hand, "Brother, I'm leaving."

Wang Lidong waved away people, "Let's go, I won't see you off."

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, when Wang Lidong returned home, he saw his old lady sitting on the kang and sighing.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Wang Lidong brushed away the little bean sprouts that had jumped to his feet, and let him play with Dudu.

Zhou's mother picked up a telegram on the kang table, "Your father sent a telegram, saying that he will not come back for the Chinese New Year this year, and stay at Rong'er for the New Year."

Wang Lidong took the telegram, and there were only seven words on it, 'I'm celebrating the New Year with Rong'er. '

"Hey, isn't this a good thing," Wang Lidong comforted his old lady, "It means that Dad has forgiven Zhou Rong, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in Guizhou for the New Year. Mom, you should be happy."

"I know, but I'm in a panic. It's been three years, and I don't know when your father, your brother, and your second sister will be able to go home together for the New Year." Zhou's mother said, her eyes were red, and she wiped her face. Tears, Wang Lidong hurriedly let his daughter-in-law do it, she was much better at comforting people than he was.

Fu Lili transferred Zhou's mother's thoughts to Zhou's parents and grandchildren with a few words, "Kun'er, take the letter paper and write a letter to your elder brother."

Wang Lidong quietly gave his daughter-in-law a thumbs up, took the letter paper, and Zhou's mother dictated, asking the eldest son to pass on the family line to the old Zhou family.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Ms. Qiao Chunyan, the "Little Sun" of the optical film, got married beautifully.Twelve bicycles came to the wedding reception team, all of which were produced by Mingzhu, which really envied all the unmarried girls.

The groom was also handsome, fair and clean, with a pair of glasses on his nose, and a pen in his coat pocket. He was clearly a man of culture.

When it was time for lunch, Wang Lidong's family of four followed the big team and came to Chaoyang Hotel together.

"Bingkun." A familiar voice sounded in his ears, Wang Lidong looked around, and saw a parking lot not far away, Fa Xiaoguochao was waving at him.

Let the daughter-in-law bring the old lady into the restaurant, Wang Lidong stepped forward, greeted the two, and then looked at the two young people who were with them, they looked very familiar, one was Cao Debao, the other was Lu Chuan.

In the TV series, Cao Debao and today's bride Qiao Chunyan are a couple, but in this world, it is impossible.

With Qiao Chunyan's current vision, she can't see an ordinary worker in a soy sauce factory at all.

After introducing the three of them on National Day, he became a salesman. "In the future, if you two want to make furniture, you can find Bingkun. His craftsmanship is in our area. That's this." thumb.

"Dinner for dinner." Wang Lidong said modestly, took out his cigarette, and walked around, "Are you also here for dinner?"

"Well," Chao Chao pointed to the Chaoyang Hotel, "Debao fell in love with a girl, she is a waiter at the Chaoyang Hotel."

"Bingkun, what about you?"

"Oh, one of my neighbors got married and came over for a wedding banquet."

"so coincidental?"

"Let's go, it's so cold outside, let's go in and talk." On the way, Wang Lidong and Guo Qing caught up with Chao Chao and talked about the dismissal.

Two days ago, the youngest son of the factory manager asked him to get two TV tickets, and he took care of it by the way, "I have already found someone, and after the Chinese New Year, your transfer order should be able to come down."

Catch up excitedly, "Which workshop?"

"Furniture workshop."

"Both of us."

"nonsense."

The two of them hugged Wang Lidong together, they didn't expect him to be so powerful, and they helped them out in a few days, "Thank you, brother."

Wang Lidong stretched out his hand and pushed the two guys away, "Okay, I have received your thanks."

"Are you free tonight?"

"what's up."

"Go to my house for a drink, we haven't had a party yet during Chinese New Year"

Time flies, fleeting years are like water.In the blink of an eye, the time has come to 76 years.

Little friend Xu Dudu, from a little bean ding, has become a slim girl, and little bean sprouts have also grown up, from that little dog that stumbles when walking, to a majestic guard dog.

In September 72, Zhou Rong gave birth to a daughter for Feng Huacheng, named Feng Yue.Zhou's mother was very happy when she found out, and it also intensified the old lady's desire for her grandson.

It's a pity that the two sons failed to live up to each other. After several years, they didn't see half of their eggs. Zhou's mother was so anxious that she thought that there was something wrong with their health, so she entrusted her good old sisters to make some folk remedies.

Looking at a jar of soup that was so dark that he didn't know what it was made of, Wang Lidong had to take his wife to the hospital to issue a health report. Only then did the old lady turn her attention to the eldest son and his wife.

Before halfway through January, Fu Lili suddenly received a transfer order from the factory, asking her to return to work in the finance department, and she was promoted to a second in command of the finance department.

At first, Fu Lili thought it was because of Wang Lidong's departure, but she didn't even tell her about such a big matter beforehand.But when I found him to check the accounts, I realized that it was not his handwriting.

"Then who can help?"

"shush"

After listening to the broadcast, Wang Lidong and Fu Lili knew the source of the order.

The clouds are about to lift.

"Your parents should be back soon." Wang Lidong put his arms around the weeping daughter-in-law, "It's a happy event, why are you still crying?"

Fu Lili was still crying with her head buried, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered in these years.

Zhou Bingyi took his daughter-in-law Hao Dongmei back to the optical film after an absence of six years.

"Bingyi is back,"

"Uncle Wu, happy Chinese New Year."

"This is Dongmei."

"Sixth Aunt, Happy New Year."

When the two returned to the gate of their small courtyard, they saw a beautiful woman pasting couplets at the gate, and a little girl in her teens stood beside her, shouting from time to time, 'It's too high, it's too low, go to the left. No, it's too left. .'

Fu Lili became angry: "Is it left or right?!"

Zhou Bingyi looked up and looked at the house number, 'Guangzipian No. 169', that's right, it was his house.

"Woof." Little Bean Sprout barked at the two strangers twice, threatening whines from time to time.

Fu Lili looked back and knew who they were. She had seen Zhou's family portrait and was about to say hello when Wang Lidong came to the door with two red lanterns. Seeing Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, "Brother, sister-in-law, you're back!" .” Then he yelled into the room, “Mom, look who’s here?”

Looking at the third younger brother in front of him, Zhou Bingyi was a little surprised. He hadn't seen him in six years, he had changed a lot, matured, and he was taller, tall and strong. The third younger brother used to give people a submissive impression. To be honest, the whole person looks much sharper now.
"Bingyi is back." Mother Zhou hugged her eldest son whom she hadn't seen for six years, both crying and excited.

"Mom, it's cold outside, come in and tell me."

"That's right, let's all go into the house. Go into the house and talk."

Zhou's mother pulled the eldest daughter-in-law to the side, and they all went into the back room together. After they were seated, Zhou Bingyi looked at Fu Lili, "Is this the younger brother or sister?"

"Fu Lili, my wife," Wang Lidong said to his wife, "my elder brother Zhou Bingyi, and my elder sister Hao Dongmei."

Wang Lidong's marriage was mentioned when he wrote the letter, but Xu Dudu and Zhou Bingyi were a little puzzled, which family the child was from, and why did he stay with him during the Chinese New Year.

"Bingkun, which family does this child belong to?"

"Lili's child."

Wang Lidong licked his head and asked her to call someone, the little guy immediately called out sweetly, "Uncle, aunt."

Zhou Bingyi's face froze slightly, "Okay, okay."

Hao Dongmei took Xu Dudu's hand and said, "How old is Dudu?"

"Ten years old."

"Bingkun, I want to talk to you." Zhou Bingyi took him to the kitchen, closed the door, and asked, "What's the matter with Xu Dudu? Is it Fu Lili's own?"

Wang Lidong lit a cigarette, "Lili and her ex-husband gave birth."

"Why didn't you tell us about Fu Lili's divorce and having a child? If you hadn't come back this time, you planned to hide it from me, Dad, and your second sister for the rest of your life?"

"Zhou Rong eloped to Guizhou to find Feng Huacheng, did you tell her family beforehand?"

"Let's talk about you now," Zhou Bingyi reprimanded, "You are a good young man, married to a divorced woman with a child, what do you let the neighbors think of our Zhou family? You don't know what Dad likes most? Is it the family style of the Zhou family! And Zhou Rong is your second sister, don't be too big or small."

Wang Lidong couldn't help laughing and said, "Since Zhou Rong eloped, our Zhou family still has a P family style. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. For Zhou Rong's nasty things, my mother and I have been punished by others all these years." Pointing at the back.

I remember that after Zhou Rong eloped, you just said lightly, young people who don't make mistakes, no matter how I change, they will rise to the rank of corrupt family style. Your behavior can be summed up in one word, it is double standard! "

"If she elopes, she doesn't deserve to be my second sister. She is straightforward, and she is in love with an old man who can be her father. Have you ever thought about the feelings of parents and the face of our Zhou family!"

"Okay! I can't say no to you! Count me meddling in my own business. When Dad comes back, we'll see how you explain to him!" Zhou Bingyi threw down a sentence, and went into the back room angrily.

At night, after the family had dinner, Zhou's mother brought out a few brand new quilts, and said with emotion, "These quilts have been made for several years, and they are finally used this year."

Zhou Bingyi and his wife came back rarely, so they slept in the back room with Zhou's mother, so that they could talk more easily. Xu Dudu hugged the little rabbit doll and squeezed between Wang Lidong and Fu Lili, chattering non-stop.

Wang Lidong threw the little guy to her mother's side in disgust, "How grown up, do you know whether a man and a woman can accept kissing or not!"

Zhou Bingyi turned to look at his mother, and thought about his words, "Mom, how old is Fu Lili?"

"Eight years older than Kun'er, she will be 34 after the Chinese New Year. Didn't Kun'er tell you in the letter?"

"No, it didn't say that Fu Lili was divorced and had a child."

"34?" Hao Dongmei sat up in surprise, "It looks like 25 to me."

"Lili looks younger. Lili told me that she looks like her mother. When her mother was 40, she looked like she was 30."

Seeing that his daughter-in-law still wanted to speak, Zhou Bingyi signaled her not to interrupt. He had business to do. Although Hao Dongmei was unwilling to do so, thinking about staying for ten days, he pricked up his ears and became an audience.

After Zhou Bingyi asked a few more questions about Fu Lili's situation, he turned to the main topic, "Mom, Fu Lili and Bingkun have such a big age difference, and they have a child. You shouldn't have allowed them to be together in the first place."

"I didn't agree at the beginning," Zhou's mother turned sideways, looked at the eldest son, and explained the identities of Fu Lili's parents.

Zhou Bingyi immediately fell silent!

The reason why his parents agreed to his marriage with Hao Dongmei was because of Hao Dongmei's parents' identity. Although they were in trouble, a dead camel was bigger than a horse.

No, signs of it were already showing up last month, and Hao Dongmei's parents were about to get over it.

And Fu Lili's situation is similar to that of Hao Dongmei. Compared with Hao Dongmei, Fu Lili is not as good as Fu Lili. Although Fu Lili is divorced and has a baby, she can have children, but Hao Dongmei has lost her fertility.

If he wanted to jjyy on this matter again, he would slap himself in the face.

Zhou's mother saw that the eldest son turned off the fire, and immediately changed the topic to childbirth. The eldest son and his wife have been married for more than four years, why is there no movement from the daughter-in-law here, "Bingyi, you and Dongmei are not young anymore, the child You have to hurry up."

Which pot is not open to mention which pot!
Zhou Bingyi found a random reason, coped with it, and turned to the task of having a baby on the third brother and his wife, "Lili is almost 35, Mom, you urge Bingkun to hurry up."

Hao Dongmei immediately made up the knife: "Mom, I read a report saying that once a woman turns 35, the risk of having a baby will increase greatly."
