After Chu Heng and Huniu waited in the courtyard for a while, they saw Yang Guizhi ushering in the guests.
They were Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai who came to pay New Year's greetings to the deaf old lady. They were both carrying heavy New Year's goods in their hands.
"Ouch!"
Chu Heng brought Huniu up to him with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Yi, happy New Year, Aunt Yi, happy New Year, brother Zhuzi, happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, brother!"
The three of them returned the gift with joyful hands, and then looked at Huniu, who was standing by Chu Heng's legs, looking up at them with her head raised and her eyes blinking.
"Has the little Huniu grown so big?" Silly Zhu came forward with a broken voice, bent down and stretched out his big hand to rub the little guy's head, and said kindly: "Come, wish my uncle a happy new year, uncle. There’s a red envelope!”
Although Huniu was not afraid of strangers, she didn't understand what the red envelope was, so she raised her head and looked at him blankly.
Seeing this, Chu Heng knelt down and reminded her in her ear with a smile: "Happy New Year, Huniu, have you seen what your godfather taught you yesterday?"
"Remember!"
Huniu nodded vigorously a few times, then bent down to salute Silly Zhu, shouting in a sweet voice: "Happy New Year!"
Then she ran to Mr. Yi Zhonghai and his wife, bent down and shouted twice, then turned around and ran back to Chu Heng.
"Ha ha!"
"Okay, okay."
"Come on, come on, take the red envelope."
The three of them took out the red envelopes with smiles on their faces, and one of them stuffed one into the little Huniu's hand. The little guy looked at the red envelopes in his hands for a few times, then turned to look at Chu Heng, with a heavy feeling of dissatisfaction in his watery eyes. untie.
What's the use of this thing?
"Give this to your mother later and ask her to buy you delicious food." Chu Heng helped her put the red envelope into her pocket and hurriedly invited Yi Zhonghai and the others to the deaf old lady's house.
"Old lady, we wish you happy new year!"
"I wish you continuous blessings and longevity!"
"Okay, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
"Grandma Wu, I also wish you a long life and good health."
"thanks, thanks."
After the three of them paid New Year's greetings to the two old ladies who were chatting on the Kang, they walked up and sat on the edge of the Kang in a familiar manner.
Yi Zhonghai looked at the two old sisters with red eyes, and asked with a smile: "Are you two in good health?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Old Mrs. Wu Xiumei grinned after hearing this, revealing her gums with few teeth left, and the wrinkles on her face rippled like waves: "In Hengzi, you don't have to do anything every day, every day is good If you eat well and take good care of yourself, will your health and bones be in good shape?"
"You don't have to worry about it. We sisters are in great shape now. It tastes delicious." The deaf old lady patted Aunt Yi's palm and said with a smile: "The mutton and carrot stuffing we made last night I’ve eaten more than 20 meat and egg dumplings!”
"Oh, you are really successful. You can eat more than 20 meat and egg dumplings in the middle of the night and you are not afraid of being indigestible!" Silly Zhu said in a loud voice, and then turned his attention to the deaf old lady who was playing with rattles in her arms. Chu Zhecheng.
Bai Pang's dream love grandson once again showed his charm. Yi Zhonghai and the three of them all liked him so much that they didn't want to let go when they held him in their arms.
Silly Zhu even pinched the bird a few times, but the prince had already calmed down and his expression didn't even change.
After sitting like this for a while, seeing that it was getting late, the three of them stood up and said goodbye.
"Old lady, we still have to go to work, so let's leave now. I'll see you another day."
Chu Heng from the side immediately stepped forward and held Aunt Yi to prevent her from leaving: "Uncle Yi and the others have to go to work, just let them go. Aunt Yi, you have nothing to do, please stay here for a while."
"That's right, why did you just come and leave? Let them go. You are not allowed to leave. Come have a meal with me here at noon." The deaf old lady also reached out to hold her.
"Okay then, I'll just wait a little longer." Aunt Yi saw that it was hard to refuse the hospitality, so she sat down again.
"Then we'll leave first."
Upon seeing this, Uncle Yi and Shazhu looked at each other, and saw each of them taking out a red envelope and sending it to Chu Zhecheng's hand.
"What are you doing? This is it. Take it back quickly."
"Oh, it's for the kids, keep it quickly."
"No, no."
"Take it, hold it."
After going through the negotiation process with Chu Heng, the two of them put the red envelope into Chu Zhecheng's hand, and then walked out of the room with him.
The three of them came to the door and stopped talking and laughing.
"Don't send it away, go back."
"Come if you have time, Uncle Yi, Brother Zhuzhu."
"Okay, come back quickly. You should wear less clothes so you don't get cold."
Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu waved to Chu Heng, then turned around and got on their bicycles, heading towards the alley together.
Chu Heng stood at the door and glanced for a few times before turning around and entering the courtyard, closing the door ajar and heading towards the backyard.
"Tsengko!"
Unexpectedly, when he came to the fruit trees in the front yard, Silly Zhu, who had just left, suddenly ran in.
"Ah? Did you leave something behind?" Chu Heng turned around and looked in confusion.
"No, no, I am... I am..." Silly Zhu came to him, scratched his head and whispered, "I want to see the things Lou Xiao'e gave me."
He had been thinking about this matter for a long time, but he never pulled away because he had to serve his injured wife at home.
"Hey, what do I mean? Come with me."
Chu Heng glanced at him sideways, led Shazhu to the main room in the backyard, and took out the boxes that Lou Xiao'e bought specially for Shazhu from a pile of boxes in the corner.
"It's all here, see for yourself."
"so much!"
Looking at the three or four big boxes on the ground, Shazhu couldn't help but be stunned, and then hurried forward and opened one of them.
Inside was a box of expensive tobacco and alcohol, with a few records on top.
After Silly Zhu saw the things in the box, he was stunned for the first time. Then he saw him pick up the records with a complicated look on his face. His mind couldn't help but think of the time when the two of them were in the courtyard, listening to The beautiful memories of secretly eating ice cream and tasting seafood while listening to music made ripples in my heart instantly.
After holding the record and looking at it for a while, Shazhu hesitated before putting it in his arms. Then he looked at other boxes, and the more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Especially when he saw the woolen coats and leather shoes of different styles, he immediately lost his guard and his eye circles began to turn red.
"Silly Zhu, when we get married, I will buy you a pair of big leather shoes!"
"There is also a woolen coat. You don't have to envy others. We will also buy it in the future."
"As long as we live a down-to-earth life, everything will be possible!"
It turns out that she still remembers it...
The ethereal voices hit Shazhu's heart like a heavy hammer. He sighed secretly, suppressed the resurrected feelings in his heart again, took a cigarette from the box, stood up and said to Chu Heng: "Okay. Now, please help me put it away first, I have to go to work."
"knew."
Chu Heng smacked his lips, feeling quite uncomfortable in his heart. Lou Xiao'e was indeed a good woman. If she and Silly Zhu could really get together, it would definitely be a good marriage.
It's a pity that Xu Damao, a troublemaker, messed up the relationship, making the two of them the most familiar strangers.
