It's getting dark.

The Zheng family was preparing to have dinner, but Jin Bao ran outside the yard on his short legs.

"Jinbao, it's time to eat, stop running around!" Mrs. Zhou shouted when she saw Jinbao running out.

It's so late, where are we going?

"The fourth uncle is back, I want to pick him up!" Jinbao answered as he ran.

"Why is it possible that your fourth uncle is back now? I asked him about it last time I went to town. The shopkeeper asked him to stay and guard the shop."

Boss Zheng put the bowls and chopsticks on the table. When he heard that Jin Bao was about to pick up the fourth child, he looked back.

Jinbao ignored him and ran straight to the roadside outside the yard. She just felt that her fourth uncle was back.

He looks so small, but he still doesn’t believe it. What time of day it is now, it’s weird to wait for someone to come, Boss Zheng cursed secretly.

Zhou didn't trust her to go out alone, so he followed her out of the yard.

She knew Jin Bao's temper, and she wouldn't go back if she wasn't asked to wait.

So he stood with her on the roadside, and the two of them, one old and one young, looked at the road in the distance.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, Zhou was about to persuade Jinbao to go back.

A figure appeared in the distance, carrying a package and slowly moving in this direction.

"Uncle Four!" Jin Bao shouted happily.

She said that her fourth uncle was back, but she still didn't believe it.

Because they were far away and the snow blocked her view, Zhou didn't see who the figure was. When she heard Jin Bao shouting, she felt like the fourth child was back.

The figure heard Jin Bao's shout and quickened his pace.

When I got closer, I saw it wasn't Zheng Laosi or someone else.

"Fourth, are you really back?" Zhou looked at him in disbelief and helped him pat the snow off his body.

It’s amazing how Jin Bao knew this in advance.

Zheng Laosi heard someone calling him from afar. He didn't tell anyone about his return. He was also very surprised to see the two of them waiting here.

He picked up Jinbao and asked, "Mom, how did you know I was back?"

"It's not me, it's Jinbao. She insisted that you were back and wanted to pick you up."

Zhou took the package from Zheng Laosi and murmured in her heart, could it be telepathy?

"Jin Bao is really amazing. Uncle bought you a toy. Come on, let's go back and see." Zheng Laosi hugged Jin Bao with an excited face, and the chill on his body disappeared.

There is nothing happier than having someone waiting for him as soon as he comes home. Waiting for him is his only little niece, which is so heartwarming.

"Okay!" Jin Bao smiled with two dimples.

Boss Zheng heard someone entering the house and thought it was Jin Bao who was back. Without turning around, he said directly: "I told you that your fourth uncle will not come back. If you don't believe it, just wait for nothing!"

"Brother!" Zheng Laosi shouted.

Hearing the familiar voice, Boss Zheng turned his head sharply, as if he had seen a ghost, and asked loudly: "Why are you back?"

Others heard the shouting and looked over, with expressions of disbelief.

Jin Bao really guessed it right.

Zheng Laosi smiled and replied: "It's not because the snow is getting heavier and the shopkeeper's shop can't open, so he asked me to come back to celebrate the New Year."

"It'll be nice to come back. It's so fun to celebrate the New Year at home!" Ms. Zhou said as she put the package aside.

She originally didn't want her fourth child to stay at the store during the New Year, but as her children grew older, they had their own opinions and stopped listening to her.

"Hurry up and have a sip of porridge to warm yourself up. It's such a cold day. Why did you come back so late and didn't say hello in advance?"

Father Zheng felt heartbroken when he saw that Mr. Zheng's face was purple with cold.

Zheng Laosi sat at the table with Jin Bao in his arms, rubbed his face with his hands and said, "The shopkeeper originally asked me to come back tomorrow, but I saw the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to come back, so I rushed back early. .”

Jin Bao saw that Mr. Zheng's face had changed color from the cold, so he put his little hand on it to warm him.

Zheng Laosi's heart felt even warmer. He took Jin Bao's hand off and breathed through his mouth. He couldn't bear to keep his chubby little hand cold.

"Thankfully you came back in time. According to this plan, the road will definitely be closed tomorrow. Quickly wipe it and get ready to eat."

Meihua put the dishes on the table and handed him a hot towel.

"Thank you, second sister-in-law!"

Zheng Laosi took the towel and applied it to his face for a while. When it was warm, he began to wipe his hands. He also wiped Jin Bao's little hands together.

"Jinbao, how did you know that your fourth uncle was back?" Boss Zheng asked doubtfully.

Seeing Zheng Laosi sitting in front of him with Jin Bao in his arms, he always felt unrealistic. Why did Jin Bao come back as soon as he said he was coming back?

Others also looked at Jin Bao curiously.

"It feels like Uncle Fourth is back." She didn't know how to explain it, she just felt it.

Sure enough, they knew they wouldn't hear an answer.

"Jin Bao, can you feel what I want to do now?" Xiao Wu looked at Jin Bao and said.

He still didn't believe she could really guess it.

"Uncle wants to eat." Jin Bao said directly without thinking.

Xiao Wu was stunned. He seemed to just want to eat. Could it be that Jin Bao had the ability to read minds?

"Jin Bao can't see what the little uncle is thinking!" The food is on the table. What if he doesn't want to eat? The little uncle is so stupid.

Xiao Wu was already in a mess, and he didn't even know what he was thinking.

Boss Zheng gave him a look of disdain. He looked stupid. Everything he thought was written on his face, so why did he need to guess?

"Fourth Brother, you are now quite old. It's time to find a girl." Mrs. Zhou looked at Zheng Laosi and said.

In the past, my family was too poor and no one introduced me to her. Now that the conditions are slowly getting better, it's time to get married.

"Yes, do you have anyone you like? If not, I will ask my mother to introduce you to one. There are several girls around your age in our village!"

Seeing that Zhou had brought it up, Mei Hua took advantage of the situation and said so.

When Zheng Laosi heard this, his face suddenly turned red to the root of his neck.

Zheng Laosan looked at it with amusement, this is a show!

Wan Niang also saw that something was wrong. Isn't this what spring is like? The fourth brother has fallen in love with some girl, but he has never mentioned it.

"Does your kid have a crush? If so, tell him immediately and we'll propose marriage!" Boss Zheng patted him on the shoulder with a smirk on his face.

Mrs. Zhou put down the chopsticks in her hand, looked at Zheng Laosi seriously and asked, "Tell me the truth, are you really attracted to any girl?"

When Zheng Laosi saw everyone looking at him, even Jin Bao raised his head curiously.

He blushed and nodded.

In fact, he didn't want to say it. After all, the identities of the two were quite different, and his conditions were not good enough for her. The possibility of the two of them was almost zero, so he kept it secret.

Father Zheng patted his thigh excitedly and said, "Which girl do we know? In the spring, ask your mother to ask someone to marry her."

When Zheng Laosi saw how happy his family members were for him, he lowered his head in disappointment.

He also wanted to, but it was impossible...
