After lunch, Shen Dongsheng said goodbye to Fang Xiyuan's family and followed Shui Bingyue directly to Shui's house. After all, the room at home was ready and all he needed to do was move in with his clothes.
The old lady, Shui Shangqing, Liu Xuemei, Shui Jianguo and his wife all welcomed Shen Dongsheng's arrival. Place him in the guest room at home.
The room was too warm and made me sleepy. There are brand new beddings on the kang, which shows how much the Shuishui family attaches importance to Mr. Shen.
In the days that followed, Bo Kang became Shui Bingyue's little tail, learning with her.
The time soon came to the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and Shui Jianshe returned from the provincial capital carrying large and small bags.
The person who opened the door for him was Liu Xuemei, who quickly pulled him into the yard, closed the door, and went back to the house together.
"Mom, why don't you see Bingyue?"
"Your sister is studying foreign languages with Mr. Shen. You can see her during lunch."
Shui Jianshe put his luggage on the table and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, when I came back before, Bingyue always opened the door. I didn't see her this time, so I thought she wasn't at home."
Liu Xuemei took her fourth son and sat beside the kang and asked him carefully: "Why did it take you so long to come back this time?"
“The cultural troupe has too many performances scheduled, not just locally, but also going to many other places together. So it’s time for a vacation, and there is no time to come back.
The art troupe adds the holidays to the New Year holiday. I can stay at home for a few more days this year and spend time with you. I didn’t celebrate the New Year at home last year, which was a pity. "
Liu Xuemei was very happy after hearing this, and then warned: "You can rest here for a while, and when you are done, go and chat with your grandma. She misses you too."
"I'm not tired, let's go now."
When Shuijian arrived at grandma's room, she was busy embroidering insoles. He looked up at the person who came and showed a kind smile: "Xiaosi is back."
"Well, grandma, why don't you have a good rest before doing these strenuous things?" Shui Jianshe sat down next to his grandma.
"I don't have the temperament to be idle. Your parents won't let me do anything. It's cold, and they won't even let me interfere in cooking. I don't find something to do for myself, for fear of becoming stupid.
I remember that my grandma used to be confused early on. I don't want to cause trouble to my family. "
The old lady said this, and Shui Jianjiang stopped trying to persuade him. After all, moving his hands and feet from time to time is indeed good for the brain.
Near noon, Shui Bingyue finished studying and went to the kitchen to cook. When Shui Jianshe heard his sister and mother talking, he walked out and went to the kitchen.
"Would you like some help?"
"Fourth brother, you're back. Why didn't anyone tell me?" Shui Bingyue was very happy, but she was handling the ingredients in her hands and couldn't spare the time to hug him.
"It's not because you were studying so hard that you didn't even hear the knock on the door. In the past, when I came back, you would always open the door."
Shui Bingyue continued to work in her hands and smiled slightly at her fourth brother: "That means I have studied hard. I have already chosen the direction of my future study. Just like my fourth brother chose music."
The water construction worker came to help and lunch was quickly prepared. We had lunch together. Unexpectedly, one of the dishes my sister cooked was specially made for Mr. Shen.
After dinner, when the brother and sister were chatting, he realized that it was the condition his sister agreed to with Mr. Shen in order to learn a foreign language.
He took out the gift he bought for his sister from his luggage bag and handed it to her: "This is the gift I bought for you. I was too busy before. I didn't have time to send it to you. I saved a lot."
Shui Bingyue took a big bag, which contained dolls, teddy bears, beautiful headdresses, and exaggerated necklaces. There are also several books.
"This is too much. Has Fourth Brother prepared gifts for other people in the family?"
"Of course, my grandma and parents have already given it to them. The one given to Bokang is a car model. I bought a house in the provincial capital. Do you want to stay with me for a while after the New Year?"
Shui Bingyue was very moved after hearing this, but she still refused cruelly: "I still haven't learned many things, so I can't accompany you to the provincial capital."
Shui Jianshe saw his sister's little face wrinkled together, and caressed her cheek with his white palm: "It doesn't matter, your study is important. Anyway, I will stay at home for a long time during the Chinese New Year, so you can stay with me more."
In the evening, Xiaowu, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi came back from selling fish outside. This year is much more relaxed than in previous years. The three of them have been fishing and selling fish since the winter vacation.
In just half a month, I can earn no less than a worker who has been working for a year. Therefore, selling your labor is never as good as using your brain.
The three of them were also very happy to see the fourth brother back. Chat around him. Shen Dongsheng was very envious when he saw that their family was prosperous.
He only has himself, but Xiaoqi and Bingyue are very important to him, and they are not lonely.
The four Shui brothers slept together at night. Even Xiaoliu, who had never been very talkative, chatted a lot with Shui Jianshe. After all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
The next morning, Shui Jianguo and Bai Lu also returned to Qingshui Village. In the evening, Shuijian Dang, who had not been home for more than three years, came back with Li Xinxin.
Shui Shangqing and Liu Xuemei couldn't smile from ear to ear with joy. After all, this was the best time for their family to be together. Shui Jianjun is a trapeze artist, so there is really nothing he can do if he cannot come back.
The family had a sumptuous dinner together. Li Xinxin slept with Shui Bingyue and her grandma at night.
Shuijian Dang hadn't been back for a long time, so he huddled with his brothers and talked about his experiences over the years.
Xiaowu, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi admired the second brother's story about the battle with live ammunition. Those are not stories, they are real things.
Xiao Qi asked curiously: "Has the second brother been injured?"
"I've had it. There's no one who doesn't get hurt as a soldier. It's just a matter of severity."
Xiaoliu asked: "You and your second sister-in-law have been married for a long time. Why didn't you give us a nephew or niece?"
Shui Jiandang patted Xiaoliu's head gently: "You can ask me this, but don't say it in front of your sister-in-law. She is so stressed out by her mother every day.
We also want to have a baby, and we have been working hard. We went to the hospital for a checkup, and there was nothing wrong. But there just wasn't. "
"Okay, I won't ask anymore. I just think Bo Kang is quite fun, and it would be nice to have another little one."
"Then you might urge your third brother to get married faster."
Shui Jianshe heard his second brother say this and laughed silently. It seemed that he was really frightened and started to change his target.
Li Xinxin, who slept with Shui Bingyue, chatted with her in a low voice: "Bo Kang is really smart and cute. I don't know when I can be a mother?"
"I think Second Sister-in-law, please relax and don't think so much, the baby will come." Shui Bingyue comforted in a low voice.
