Zhou Bingyi was famous for being impartial and selfless. It was precisely because he knew his eldest son's temperament that Li Suhua would never go to Zhou Bingyi for such matters.

"That's it!"

Li Suhua was not willing to hit Wang Zhong hard, as hitting Wang Zhong was like scratching an itch.

"It's getting dark now. The Qiao family is not big, and now there are three members of Chunyan's family. If you run over at this time, aren't you making yourself uncomfortable?"

Li Suhua then said in embarrassment: "When I came back, Chun Yan'er had a few quarrels with her mother in an angry manner. Aren't I worried?"

"Mom!" Zheng Juan also persuaded Li Suhua: "Bingkun is right, you can't help much even if you go over at this time. Chun Yan'er is smart, she is just unhappy for the moment and can't accept it. Wait until she figures it out.

Enough."

Zheng Juan knew Qiao Chunyan quite well.

"Grandma! Dad cooked today's meal!" Zhou Ling was still chewing on the braised pork and her speech was a bit unclear.

"Eat meat! Eat meat!" Little Tail is still young and can't reach the dining table while sitting. The chair is too high and he is afraid of falling if he stands on it, so he can only use the small dining table specially made by Wang Zhong that his brothers and sisters used before.

Zheng Juan gave him a piece of braised pork, a tortilla soaked in soup, and a few pieces of boneless ribs. Together with the braised pork, Zheng Juan cut him into cubes, mixed them with rice, and poured them over

Serve rich broth and place it in front of the little one.

When Zheng Juan was two years older, she started letting her little tail eat by herself. Zhou Cong and Zhou Ming did the same. At the beginning, Li Suhua wanted to feed her, but unfortunately she couldn't resist Wang Zhong. Although Zheng Juan felt sorry for her child,

But I also understand that Wang Zhong is doing it for the good of the children.

The three-year-old little tail now eats everything by himself.

When he gets older, at the age of five, Zheng Juan will be ready to teach him how to use chopsticks.

"Eat slowly." Zheng Juan put the bowl in front of the little guy, handed him a wooden spoon, and rubbed the little guy's head lovingly and said.

The little guy eagerly scooped up a spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth, and started eating, bite after bite, and soon his mouth was filled to the brim.

Her son and daughter-in-law said so. Although Li Suhua was worried, she also understood that it was late at night, it was cold outside, and the north wind was blowing. There was no telling when it would snow again. If she went out now,

Her son and daughter-in-law were worried about her, as there were so many children at home.

After thinking about it, Li Suhua could only listen to Wang Zhong and his wife and suppress her worries for the time being.

······

At night, after the children all went to bed, Zheng Juan returned to the room. Wang Zhong held a book and sat on the bedside. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he immediately dropped the book and moved his butt to the side.

Zheng Juan then took off her sweater and warm underwear, put on comfortable and lightweight pajamas, lifted a corner of the quilt and got into the bed.

The couple looked at each other and saw the heat in each other's eyes.

They smiled tacitly, and their bodies moved together unconsciously.

Just like dew comes after a long drought.

Early in the morning the next day, it was just dawn, and the biological clock that had lasted for more than ten years could not wake up Wang Zhong. However, Zheng Juan opened her eyes, glanced at Wang Zhong who was still sleeping soundly, pursed her lips and smiled, cautiously

He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, covered Wang Zhong with the quilt, quietly changed out of his pajamas, and carefully closed the bar door when he went out.

When she woke up early in the morning, Zheng Juan felt that her body and mind were clear and comfortable. She hadn't slept as deeply as she did last night for a long time.

Wang Zhong was completely tired, both mentally and physically exhausted, which directly disrupted his biological clock.

Without any intention of waking up Wang Zhong, Zheng Juan changed her clothes, put on her sweater, and went straight to the kitchen.

In the courtyard, Dahei and Erhei were standing on the porch. When they saw Zheng Juan coming out of the house, they immediately approached her and wagged their tails to please her.

Making breakfast for the children and Li Suhua has become Zheng Juan's instinct.

Since marrying Wang Zhong, Zheng Juaner has never let Li Suhua worry about these matters.

Around half past six, Zheng Juan made breakfast and woke up the children one by one. Wang Zhong also got up and took the children to wash up, eat breakfast, drink milk, and the couple sent the children off together.

go to school.

After sending the children off and returning home, the couple decided to go to Guangming's store to have a look, and then left immediately. The couple took their little tails and headed straight for Guangming's store.

It was still early, but there were already several elderly people gathered in the bright shop.

Zhang Qiaoer was sitting behind the counter. Several men gathered around a table with chess on the table. One of them turned out to be Ma Shouchang. There were also six old ladies surrounding the long table, and Qu Xiuzhen was among them.

When Zhang Qiaoer saw the couple coming with their little tails, she hurriedly walked out from behind the counter and called her sister and brother-in-law.

He poured hot water for the two of them, and grabbed a handful of White Rabbit toffee from the transparent plastic jar on the shelf behind him.

"Thank you, little aunt!" Little Tail seemed to be very familiar with this place and was also very close to Zhang Qiaoer.

After greeting Zhang Qiao'er, Wang Zhong walked towards the crowd of old people.

"Old horse? Old song?" Wang Zhong was a little surprised. It was only in the morning, and the old couple came to Guangming to play chess and chat.

"Bingkun?" Qu Xiuzhen was also surprised and a little excited. She didn't care about playing checkers anymore. She stood up and walked towards Wang Zhong.

The old horse was also attracted by Wang Zhong's attention. He accidentally missed a move and fell into a downturn.

"Hey, hey, hey! This move doesn't count, this kid influenced me." The old horse pointed at Wang Zhong and prepared to put the chess pieces back in their original positions.

Unfortunately, the old man opposite him, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, black-rimmed glasses, and a slicked-back silver hair, gave up and grabbed Lao Ma's wrist.

"Old horse! You won't regret it! Don't cheat."

"Hmph!" Lao Ma tossed his hand angrily and said harshly: "If you don't regret it, you won't regret it. You bastard chess player still wants to beat me." As he said this, he didn't forget to glare at Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong was very helpless: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I'll come to your door in person later and accompany you the next day to make amends for your crime!"

"That's pretty much it." Lao Ma then retracted his gaze, focused on the chessboard, and waved his hand impatiently to Wang Zhong: "Gungungun, don't interfere with my performance here."

Yes, this old man has to push himself further.

Wang Zhong smiled and didn't worry.

"When did your kid come back?" Qu Xiuzhen was holding a thermos cup in her hand, with her hands behind her back, and she stood in front of Wang Zhong and looked him up and down, with a smile on her brows.

Wang Zhong was like a son or nephew to her and Lao Ma. His son had a falling out with them due to conflicts and misunderstandings. He took his wife and children to settle in Shanghai. He has not returned to Jichun for several years. He is getting older.

, without her children around, she will inevitably feel lonely. It is precisely because of Wang Zhong's family in these years that her and Lao Ma's retirement life has become more colorful and joyful.

Although Wang Zhong was not in Jichun in the past two years, Li Suhua and Zheng Juan often brought their children to visit her and Lao Ma. Whenever Zhou Cong and Yueyue were free, they would run to her house with their younger siblings every now and then.

It brought them a lot of joy.

"I just arrived yesterday." Wang Zhong asked with a smile, "How are you and Lao Ma doing?"

"Still like that! You should eat and drink!" Qu Xiuzhen patted her thigh: "At least I can still walk now."

"As long as your body is strong and strong! I brought some supplements back from Shencheng and will send them to your home in the afternoon."

Qu Xiuzhen said angrily: "Why spend that money?"

Wang Zhongdao: "It didn't cost much. My friends half sold and half gave it away. It's not expensive, just longan, lotus seeds, white fungus and so on."

"What are you doing here this time? On a business trip?" This was out of character, so no wonder Qu Xiuzhen asked this.

"What a business trip, I won't leave when I get back this time."

The smile on Qu Xiuzhen's face became even wider: "It's better not to leave. We in Jichun have also reformed and opened up now. We will definitely develop better and better in the future, and there will be more and more opportunities. It's time for you to come back now."

"You still see clearly." Wang Zhong gave a thumbs up.

The two chatted, and Zheng Juan and Zhang Qiaoer also started chatting.

"Where are Doudou and Guangming?" Doudou is the son of Zhang Qiaoer and Guangming. He will be two years old in two months.

"Doudou is sleeping in the back room! This kid has been sleeping all day long lately, and Guangming is giving massages upstairs."

Guangming Massage's bone-setting skills are good. After many elderly people come here once, they will come back a second or third time, and gradually they become regular customers.

As we age, our legs and feet become weak, bone hyperplasia, and various problems tend to surface. Bright massage can promote blood circulation, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. After the massage, you will feel refreshed and refreshed, and you will be energetic all day long.

And the price is also cheap. Each half-hour massage only costs 50 cents, which is the price of a pound of meat. Going to a bathhouse for a bath and a pedicure is about the same price, which is very affordable.

In particular, Zhang Qiaoer saw that there were so many old people coming here on a regular basis. Since his house opened every day, he simply set up a few tables on the first floor with hot water and tea for the old people to rest.

It has become a small gathering place for old people.

When you have nothing to do, you can play chess or cards to pass the time. If you want to have a massage, just look for the light and press it to stimulate the meridians and activate the meridians and promote blood circulation.

After going back and forth, Guangming's business gradually became stable. Zhang Qiaoer simply bought some cigarettes, candies and cans. These old people were retired and had no money in their pockets. They couldn't eat cold food, so Zhang Qiaoer helped them.

heating.

Unexpectedly, over time, it would bring a lot of income to the family every month.

Moreover, the old people all have their own circles. Through word of mouth, more and more people come to Guangming here, and the business is getting better and better.

If not for Guangming's limited energy and Zhang Qiaoer's skill in craftsmanship, the store's monthly income could have doubled.

After hearing Zheng Juan's explanation, Wang Zhong was quite surprised, "This is Qiaoer's idea!" After saying that, he gave Zhang Qiaoer a thumbs up: "It's a very good idea."

Zhang Qiaoer smiled and said: "They are all immature ideas. I thought it wouldn't cost much anyway, so I tried it."

Qu Xiuzhen's evaluation of this was not low: "Qiao'er is a smart kid. If she hadn't made the store like this, we old guys who are retired and have nothing to do would have no place to go."

Zhang Qiaoer blushed a little and felt embarrassed. Zheng Juan smiled knowingly, but Wang Zhong was moved in his heart.

If we set up a semi-public elderly activity center and let Guangming and his wife run it, it would not only meet the income problems of Guangming and Zhang Qiaoer, but also provide a place for recreational activities for many elderly people who have retired and their children are no longer around.
