"I really can't get used to living in such a big house."
In the living room, Li Suhua, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the spacious living room and the four children sitting around the dark red solid wood table writing and drawing, mumbling.
"Mom! Eat an orange!" Zheng Juan handed over a freshly peeled tangerine.
Li Suhua took the orange. The orange was not heated and was still a little cold to the touch. Fortunately, the heating in the room was sufficient, but when she thought of the high heating bills every month, Li Suhua missed the big kang at Guangzi Pian's home.
He first broke the orange into two halves, then broke off a piece, and tasted it himself. The taste was very sweet. Then Li Suhua showed a smile, broke the orange into pieces, and fed a few to each of the children who were doing their homework. valve.
The two younger ones started reading and writing with Zheng Juan last year. A year ago they started doing homework, copying new words and memorizing multiplication tables.
The two older ones have already begun to memorize ancient poems and prose, and are exposed to mathematics.
Feng Yue was stumped by a math problem and was scratching her head trying to think of something.
Zhou Cong was concentrating on dictating the ancient poem he was going to memorize today.
As for Wang Zhong, he went shopping with Guangming early in the morning, saying that they were preparing new year's goods, rice, flour, grains and oil for the New Year.
"Mom! Don't spoil them too much. They are such big children, and they have hands and feet. Let them eat by themselves, lest Bingkun comes back later and sees you, and they have to blame you again."
Zheng Juan saw that Li Suhua wanted to feed her, so she quickly stopped her.
Li Suhua subconsciously retracted her body, turned to look at the door, and listened carefully. Unfortunately, the soundproofing of the house was good, and it was quiet outside, so she couldn't hear any movement at all.
"Hmph! This brat has to take care of everything. I feel sorry for my grandchildren and he also takes care of it." Li Suhua complained.
Other things were fine, Wang Zhong mostly left Li Suhua alone, but when it came to the children, Wang Zhong's attitude was very tough.
Wang Zhong would not scold Li Suhua, but he would just talk about the truth. He would go on endlessly from the beginning. He would talk long and verbose words, buzzing around his ears like flies. Li Suhua was overwhelmed by what he said every time. bother.
After this back and forth, Li Suhua almost had a shadow on Wang Zhong.
When he heard Wang Zhong's name Hui Hui, it was almost like a mouse meeting a cat.
Zheng Juan was a little bit dumbfounded. Although sometimes, she felt that Wang Zhong was a bit too strict with his children, but this was the way Wang Zhong, a father, disciplined his children.
Zheng Juan has 100% trust in Wang Zhong. Since Wang Zhong did this, there must be a reason for doing so. Although she feels distressed sometimes, Zheng Juan will still respect and trust Wang Zhong's decision.
"Mom! I've finished writing!" After a moment, Lingling suddenly stopped writing and stood up, holding the homework book in front of Zheng Juan like a treasure.
Zheng Juan didn't go to school much, but she had been married to Wang Zhong for so many years, so her cultural level was not low.
Although the font is still a little crooked and the size is not the same, every stroke is similar.
"Not bad, not bad. My Lingling is really good and has made progress again. When dad comes back, he will definitely praise our Lingling." Zheng Juan rubbed Lingling's little head, reached into her pocket, took it out, and put it in front of Lingling. He opened his palms with a smile on his face, and two White Rabbit toffees with wrapping paper appeared on them.
Lingling's delicate little face immediately showed a smile as bright as spring. She happily took the White Rabbit toffee, peeled one off on the spot, put it in her mouth and ate it. She closed her eyes and raised her head slightly. , with a look of enjoyment.
Zhou Ming, who was watching on the sidelines, was filled with envy. His eyes were shining brightly. He swallowed his saliva and immediately immersed himself in writing, not daring to slack off at all.
"What's wrong Yueyue?" Zheng Juan asked, looking at Feng Yue who was frowning and distressed.
Yueyue picked up the book in her hand and handed it to Zheng Juan, saying aggrievedly: "Little aunt! This question is too difficult!"
Zheng Juan suppressed a smile and took the notebook: "Auntie, let's take a look first!"
Zheng Juan had accompanied Wang Zhong to prepare for the college entrance examination. Although she had only learned a few advanced mathematics, she had already learned 77 or 88 in mathematics below high school. She was naturally able to teach Feng Yue, a seven or eight-year-old child. It's not a difficult thing.
Feng Yue and Congcong have already spent preschool and first grade in Yanjing.
When they came back this time, the couple had already made plans. The two younger ones would be sent to preschool, and the older one would go directly to second grade.
······
At the same time, Wang Zhong rode a tricycle carrying Guangming, but instead of going straight to the market, he circled out of the city. The crowds around him were getting thinner, and the snow on the ground was thicker than in the city because it was not cleared in time. The previous point seriously affected the speed of Wang Zhong's three-wheel pedaling.
"Brother-in-law, where are we going?" Although Guangming couldn't see, he had excellent hearing. He had already noticed something unusual when he just left the city.
If it was really just shopping, it would be better to go to the vegetable market. Otherwise, it would not take so long, and listening to the movement in my ears, I could no longer hear the sounds of people coming and going, and there was no hustle and bustle of the vegetable market, only the whistling north wind and the flying snowflakes.
"Xiaoheishan Village!" At this moment, Wang Zhong was wearing a hat, a military coat, a scarf, and a pair of suede leather gloves sewn by Zheng Juan herself.
"Xiaoheishan Village?" Guangming was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Isn't that the place where Sister Zhou Rong went to the countryside?"
"What are we doing there?"
"That's it!" Wang Zhong said with a smile: "In recent years, I have been in constant contact with the village. Last summer, I specifically asked the old party secretary to help me find a wife for you in the village."
"Ah?" Guangming was shocked, looking a little flustered, and his face was unusually flushed, which was caused by shyness.
"Don't worry!" Wang Zhong did not look back and looked at the road cautiously: "I have told the party secretary about your situation. The girl you asked him to find is not one with outstanding looks and lively temperament. It doesn't matter if she looks ordinary, as long as she is diligent. , capable, and the most important thing is to be kind, honest, responsible and kind."
The cold wind was howling, and Guangming's body and mind were a little messy. The amount of information was too large, and it was hard to relax at once.
"One month before the winter vacation, the old party secretary wrote me back, saying that he had found a suitable girl. She was the daughter of a hunter in the village, named Zhang Qiaoer. In the early years, her father was killed by a blind bear when he went into the mountains, and her mother also fell ill because of it. Unfortunately, she also left when she was twelve years old.
Zhang Qiaoer grew up eating the food of hundreds of families in the village. She is healthy and hardworking. She is twenty this year, just at the age of marriage. However, she has a boring temperament, looks cold, and is not very talkative. "
Wang Zhong had already inquired about these clearly.
"This time, you go over and take a look first. If you like it, my brother-in-law will make the decision for you!" Wang Zhong turned to look at Guangming, who was blushing, and burst out laughing.
Guangming hesitated, "Brother-in-law, I...I..."
"Okay, okay, we're almost there anyway. Let's go to the branch secretary's house first and meet the girl. If we get along with her, we have to meet her to know."
Guangming's mind went blank. The surprise came so suddenly that he was caught off guard. .
After a while, after rounding a small mound, the outline of the village appeared in Wang Zhong's eyes.
"Brother-in-law! Can you not go?" Guangming finally plucked up the courage to say this.
Wang Zhong grinned: "The arrow is on the string, what do you think?"
Guangming sighed and smiled bitterly.
