On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei got on the train back to the Corps.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Zhigang also left.
The old Zhou family, which was originally a bit lively, suddenly became deserted.
Feng Huacheng and Zhou Rong still failed to come back. Zhou Bingyi was okay and optimistic. Although he was a little regretful that he could not see Zhou Rong, his wife and his niece, he did meet his parents and family and lived at home for a long time.
Although Zhou Zhigang didn't say it, everyone knew that he was the one who wanted to see Zhou Rong the most, and he must have been in a very complicated mood when he left.
On the day Zhou Zhigang left, Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan took Guangming back to Zhou Zhi's house.
Zheng Juan's belly is also getting bigger day by day, and her body is getting heavier. Although she can still move freely, Li Suhua does not dare to let Zheng Juan touch any work. She is afraid of choking on the cooking fumes and lighting the fire. She was afraid of hurting her waist by squatting and standing too hard, and Zheng Juan was not allowed to do any of the moving work for fear of bumping into her.
As a result, Zheng Juan had nothing to do. She could only hold her waist and take a walk all day long. She often complained to Wang Zhong. Occasionally she got bored and picked up Wang Zhong's book to read. When she had work, she and Guangming used it to paste paper boxes. Come and kill time.
Now even when she goes out, Zheng Juan doesn't feel at ease if there is no one to accompany her.
Either stay with me or let Guangming follow you.
On the night of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the family was sitting in the outer room. Li Suhua and Zheng Juan were busy with their needlework, Guangming and Xiao Zhou Cong were playing on the kang, and Wang Zhong was writing the second part of the two-part "Changjin Lake" "Shuimen Bridge" in the inner room. 》The end of.
In the past few years, except for the few poems that first made him famous, Wang Zhong didn't write many poems (mainly because he didn't survive), and he focused exclusively on the two parts of "Changjin Lake".
Two wonderful movies in later generations were polished and adapted into novels. The plots of the stories were already there. Wang Zhong was only responsible for the polishing of the text, which was not difficult at all.
The upper part has written more than 300,000 words and has been completed. The second part has written nearly 400,000 words and is still being serialized. The magazine offered him a remuneration of fifteen yuan per thousand words.
In addition, Jiangliao Publishing House often invited Wang Zhong to write manuscripts. The remuneration was indeed not high at first, but with the publication of several of Wang Zhong's poems and "Changjin Lake", it suddenly became a He became the most popular writer in Jichun, and his remuneration naturally increased accordingly.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
It had been dark for a while now.
"Who is this late at night?" Zheng Juan had a big belly and couldn't see the light. Li Suhua stopped what she was doing and turned to look at the door. She was about to get off the kang and open the door when Wang Zhong walked out of the back room.
"I'll drive!" Li Suhua just stretched out her foot and then retracted it.
Wang Zhong: "Who is it?"
"Is this Zhou Bingkun's family?"
As soon as he opened the door, a strange man in blue overalls, a green hat, and a little girl in his arms came into view.
Seeing Wang Zhong, the people outside the house couldn't wait to ask: "Are you Zhou Bingkun?"
"I am, you are?"
"Oh! My name is Guo Cheng, and this is Yue Yue! Teacher Zhou Rong's daughter, Feng Yue."
"I know you!" Wang Zhong suddenly realized that Lao Zhou's disciple couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Guo Cheng with two pigtails in his arms and Feng Yue, who was much smaller than Zhou Cong.
As he spoke, Wang Zhong stretched out his hand, intending to borrow Feng Yue from Guo Cheng's arms, but he didn't want the little girl to accept her fate. She hugged Guo Cheng and refused to let go, calling her uncle and uncle, which made people's hearts tremble.
Feng Yue refused, so Wang Zhonggang quickly turned aside and welcomed Guo Cheng into the room: "It's cold outside, hurry up and sit inside."
"Bingkun, who is here?" Li Suhua's voice came from inside the room.
"Dad's apprentice Guo Cheng, the one who writes letters for dad, and Yue Yue, Zhou Rong's daughter."
Wang Zhong rushed into the room and called out to Guo Cheng, who was still standing: "Come in and sit for a while, drink a cup of hot water first!"
"Have you eaten yet? There's still rice on the pot! You can eat it once it's warmed up."
"No, no, I have to catch the train! I have to leave soon."
Before the two of them could say a few words, Li Suhua came out of the room in a hurry, with a nervous and worried look on his face: "What's wrong with Ronger?"
"What is this?" But there was no sign of Zhou Rong outside, only Guo Cheng holding a child.
"This is Yueyue, my sister's daughter."
"What about your sister?" Li Suhua was even more confused and looked at Guo Cheng with a worried face: "Where is Zhou Rong?"
Guo Cheng's face looked a little unattractive and he was coy, so Wang Zhong quickly winked at him.
"Mom, Guo Cheng told me just now that Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng have arrived at the station, but the work unit called them back because of an emergency. The post office isn't open yet, and we don't have a phone at home. Zhou In order to prevent us from worrying, Rong asked Guo Cheng to come back with Yue Yue first and tell us that he is safe so that you don’t have to worry."
"Is that so? Why didn't I listen?" Li Suhua looked confused.
Guo Cheng understood it and nodded quickly: "That's it, that's it."
"Mom! Guo Cheng and Yue Yue took the train all the way and rushed home from the train non-stop. They must be tired and hungry. Please hurry up and get some food for Guo Cheng and Yue Yue."
"Yes, yes! Look at my brain!" Li Suhua looked stunned.
"Auntie, I'm not going to eat anymore. I have to catch the train." Guo Cheng refused quickly. He didn't dare to stay at Zhou's house for too long. He was afraid that if he stayed too long, something would be revealed.
Li Suhua hurriedly took Yueyue from Zhou Cheng's hand. Yueyue was a bit resigned and reluctant. She hugged Zhou Cheng and refused to let go. She half-coaxed and half-deceived, and it took a little effort to get Yueyue out of Guo Cheng's arms. Pull it out.
Zhou Cheng pulled Wang Zhong and winked: "Teacher Zhou Rong also asked me to bring a lot of things back. It was inconvenient to bring Yue Yue just now, so I left it at the train station. In this way, you can follow the train. Stop and get your stuff back."
"Okay!" Wang Zhong was very cooperative and quickly told Li Suhua: "Mom, hold Yueyue up and let her play with Congcong. Children are easier to get close to. You can get her some porridge or something to cushion her belly. .”
"Okay, okay, I still need your teaching. Hurry up and get your sister's things back. Don't delay Xiao Guo's train."
After some fooling around, Li Suhua temporarily let go of her mental arithmetic. She held Yueyue for a while to comfort her, and could not help but say a few words of disgust towards Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong followed Guo Cheng out, got on his bicycle and drove Guo Cheng to the train station.
Not long after leaving Old Zhou's house, Wang Zhong was the first to speak: "Brother Guo Cheng, what happened to Zhou Rong?"
Guo Cheng sighed and then spoke eloquently.
Just like the original plot, Feng Huacheng caused quite a stir while reciting poems at the train station and almost caused an accident. He was arrested by the station police. Zhou Rong was worried about Feng Huacheng's safety and entrusted Feng Yue to Guo Cheng himself. Choose to stay.
Fortunately, before leaving, he had not forgotten to tell Guo Cheng not to tell Li Suhua about Feng Huacheng, and let him find an excuse to deal with it.
Wang Zhong really didn't want to say anything to Zhou Rong, so he took Zhou Rong's things, thanked Guo Cheng profusely, put him on the train, and then left with his things.
After returning home, both Yueyue and Congcong fell asleep. Although Yueyue, who was less than two years old, was a bit aloof, when she saw Zhou Cong, who was the same age, they quickly played together. The two little ones were on the kang. After tinkering for a while, I got tired and dozed off.
Yueyue grabbed Congcong's hand and didn't let go. Zheng Juan and Li Suhua didn't move them, so they let them sleep on the kang in the outer room. Zheng Juan was inconvenient, so she let Li Suhua take care of them.
Li Suhua couldn't help but ask questions again, but fortunately Wang Zhong was prepared in advance and was able to prevaricate him.
It seems that Zheng Juan is about to give birth, and this time there are two of them. Now there is Feng Yue in the family. Because of Wang Zhong, both Zhou Cong and Feng Yue are older than Zhou Nan in the original plot. and Feng Yue are much younger.
Wang Zhong had to go to work during the day and write manuscripts at night. Li Suhua not only had to take care of the children, but also looked after Zheng Juan from time to time, as well as cooking. There were so many houseworks inside and outside that one person simply couldn't handle it. Fortunately, there was light. Help on the side, although the light cannot be seen, but I can still help take care of the children and lend a hand.
However, there is an advantage for Feng Yue. Guangming is a little sensitive and is afraid that he will delay his sister and brother-in-law. He has always thought about going to Beituo Temple to become a monk when the time is right. But now, since Yue Yue, there is still something in Zheng Juan's belly. With two children at home, the trip to Beituo Temple can only be postponed indefinitely.
Unintentionally inserting willows into the trees, Zhou Rong could be regarded as doing Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan a big favor invisibly.
Feng Yue was still a little uncomfortable in the first few days, but a child less than two years old is very forgetful and has strong adaptability. There is also Zhou Cong, who is about the same age, and he has completely integrated into the Zhou family in a few days. Pretty good.
Grandma, uncle, and aunt called me smoothly, without any fear or uneasiness when I first arrived.
