Chapter 574: Zhou Zhigang returns home, the unruly father and son(2/3)
"Let's go in. There are people waiting at home. You can see your eldest grandson soon."
Li Suhua's words really attracted Zhou Zhigang's attention. Although he was very dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's behavior and was not very satisfied with Zheng Juan, his only wish was for the eldest grandson he had never seen before.
Grandson, his heart is full of expectations.
He is already fifty years old and has gone through more than half of his life. For him, the next generation and the next generation are what he looks forward to most.
"Is it Ruirui? I think he should be almost twenty-two months old now, right?"
When Li Suhua heard this, she immediately laughed: "Yes, Ruirui will be twenty-two months old soon. Even though he is still young, he is very smart and looks very cute. You will definitely like him when you see him."
With that said, she couldn't wait to pull Zhou Zhigang into the house.
At this time, Zheng Juan and Hao Dongmei were waiting in the room. When they saw Li Suhua coming in with Zhou Zhigang on his arm, the two daughters-in-law stood up nervously.
Zheng Juan was more nervous than Hao Dongmei. She hugged Zhou Rui uneasily because she knew that Zhou Chen was able to marry into the Zhou family because Zhou Chen kept it secret from her father-in-law, so she was particularly afraid that Zhou Zhigang would have opinions about her.
"dad."
Hao Dongmei shouted first, and then Zheng Juan followed in a low voice.
Zhou Zhigang responded with a smile: "Dongmei, Zheng Juan, hello."
Then his eyes swept over Zheng Guangming next to him, and Zheng Juan quickly introduced: "Dad, this is my younger brother, Guangming."
Zhou Zhigang also knew about Zheng Guangming's situation, so he smiled and said: "The young man looks quite energetic."
Zheng Guangming heard the voice and called politely: "Hello, Uncle Zhou."
"Quite polite."
Zhou Zhigang laughed twice, and then his eyes fell on Zhou Rui in Zheng Juan's arms, his dark face filled with smiles.
"Let me guess, this should be our little Ruirui, right?"
Zhou Rui looked curiously at the strange-looking old man in front of him, tilting his head and saying nothing.
Zheng Juan quickly urged: "Ruirui, this is grandpa, have you forgotten what mother told you?"
Zhou Rui heard the reminder and shouted: "Hello, grandpa, my name is Zhou Rui. I am two years old this year. Are you my father's father?"
"Hahaha……"
Zhou Zhigang laughed hilariously, glanced at Li Suhua, and said, "Look at this cleverness. It's nothing like Bingkun when he was a kid. He's much smarter than him."
"Yes, what you said is that he is smarter and smarter than Bingkun." Li Suhua followed him and said.
The more Zhou Zhigang looked at Zhou Rui, the happier he felt. He rubbed his hands together and asked Zhou Rui: "Rui Rui, grandpa, give me a hug, okay?"
Zhou Rui turned to look at his mother. Although he was not very afraid of strangers, he was unwilling to be hugged by strangers.
Zheng Juan comforted: "Rui Rui, it's just grandpa. Your father's father is also Rui Rui's closest person. Since he is the closest person, shouldn't he be allowed to be hugged by grandpa?"
Zhou Rui put his index finger on his chin, thought for a moment like a young adult, and then nodded towards Zhou Zhigang.
"Okay, then I'll let you hug me, but grandpa, you already have gray hair, can you still hug Ruirui?"
"Haha, this kid."
Zhou Zhigang laughed again, and then took Zhou Rui from Zheng Juan's arms.
"Look, did grandpa pick him up? Grandpa is very powerful, even more powerful than your father."
Zhou Rui was already a little nervous. When he heard this, he immediately retorted loudly: "No, you are not as powerful as my father. My father is the most powerful. He can lift me high, tell me stories, and
I sing, and my dad is really good at it."
"Yeah?"
Zhou Zhigang was very surprised and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Chen. When he found Zhou Chen looking at him expressionlessly, he snorted coldly in his heart.
"Grandpa can also lift you up, you see."
As he said this, he actually lifted Zhou Rui up, which frightened Li Suhua and made Zhou Bingyi and others very nervous.
"Old man, don't show off."
"Dad, be careful."
"Ruirui, don't move."
When Zhou Rui was lifted up, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he giggled, making Zhou Zhigang, who had spent a lot of effort, laugh even more happily.
Holding Zhou Rui in his arms again, Zhou Zhigang boasted: "I'm old, and I can't accept it. If it had been a few years ago, I would have been able to lift Rui Rui above my head and run."
Li Suhua scolded: "You are so old and still showing off, how can you compare with young people?"
Zhou Zhigang retorted: "What about young people? Are young people as honest and reliable as our generation? Are there any of our generation who are filial and respectful to their elders?"
These insinuations made Zhou Chen curl his lips. The old man was also good at yin and yang.
Zhou Zhigang sat on the sofa with Zhou Rui in his arms and asked in a low voice: "Ruirui, what story do you want to hear? Grandpa will tell it to you."
Zhou Rui immediately raised his little hand and said loudly: "I want to listen to Xiong Daxiong II."
"Xiong Daxiong II?" Zhou Zhigang looked confused.
Zheng Juan explained from the side: "Dad, this is a story made up by Bingkun himself."
"Really, then Ruirui, grandpa also wants to hear the story of Xiong Daxiong Er, can you tell it to grandpa?"
Zhou Rui's cute eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face. Didn't you tell me a story? Why do you still need me to tell it?
But the child is forgetful, and he quickly said happily: "Okay, grandpa, let me tell you, Xiong Da Xiong Er, he, they are in the forest, and there is Bald Qiang..."
Although he had been tired for several days while holding his grandson in his arms and listening to his intermittently telling stories, Zhou Zhigang was still very happy and satisfied.
Seeing that Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Rui were getting along very harmoniously, Zheng Juan finally felt relieved and walked to Zhou Chen's side.
"Bingkun, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Chen responded with a smile: "It's nothing. You don't have to worry too much. No matter what happens, I will be there."
"Yeah." Zheng Juan nodded meekly.
After a while, Li Suhua saw the tiredness on Zhou Zhigang's face, so she asked Hao Dongmei to carry Zhou Rui over, which made Zhou Zhigang complain for a while, saying that she was meddling in other people's business.
Hao Dongmei carried Zhou Rui to the side to play with toys, while Zhou Bingyi asked his father to lie on the sofa and help rub his legs.
Enjoying the massage from his eldest son, Zhou Zhigang shook his head and said: "You don't know, after two days and two nights, I was so tired that I couldn't stand any longer. I gritted my teeth and gave up my old face. I stabbed and crawled into someone else's house.
I went under the seat, and when I opened my eyes again, I arrived home. It was like sleeping in a sleeper all the way. It didn't cost any money, which was good."
"Hahaha……"
In the end, I was happy too.
Zhou Bingyi said while helping with the massage: "Dad, I made two more fake collars for you."
Zhou Zhigang nodded happily: "Okay, okay."
When he looked up and saw the photos hanging on the wall in the living room, he asked: "Hey, my dear, have you collected all these photos?"
Li Suhua said: "Well, wasn't the house at home temporarily lent to them for the National Day? I was afraid that they would accidentally damage the photos, so I took it over."
"Very good, very good."
Zhou Zhigang responded twice with a complicated expression, without saying anything, and then asked: "By the way, when will Xiaorong and the others arrive?"
Li Suhua: "You don't know?"
Seeing Zhou Zhigang's confused expression, she raised her voice and said, "You don't even know where I am going."
Zhou Zhigang couldn't help complaining to his eldest son: "Look, your mother is unreasonable. It's as if Xiao Rong didn't write a letter to home."
Zhou Bingyi said: "I heard from my mother that although Xiaorong and the others wrote a letter, they did not say the specific time. By the way, Xiaorong and the others will bring their daughter back this time. Their daughter seems to be called..."
"Feng Yue." Zhou Chen reminded.
"Yes, her name is Feng Yue. Yue Yue is as old as Rui Rui."
"Really, that's great."
At this moment, Zhou Rui suddenly ran over and saw Zhou Bingyi massaging Zhou Zhigang, and asked curiously: "Uncle, what are you doing?"
Zhou Bingyi smiled and replied: "Grandpa is too tired and his legs are swollen. My uncle is giving me a massage."
"I want it too, I want it too."
Zhou Rui jumped up, and then regardless of whether he agreed or not, he climbed onto Zhou Zhigang's back with his shoes on, then stretched out his two small hands and rubbed Zhou Zhigang's thighs hard.
Zhou Zhigang immediately did not dare to move, for fear of dropping his grandson, but he still laughed: "Look, this is my eldest grandson. He is so sensible. He knows how to be filial to his grandpa at such a young age, hahaha..."
Soon it was dinner time, and the family sat at the same table.
As the head of the family, Zhou Zhigang looked at the table full of relatives and was filled with emotions.
"This is the first time our family has been reunited in 1969. Although Xiaorong is missing, there are Dongmei, Zheng Juan, Ruirui and Guangming. The population is much larger than in 1969."
Li Suhua suddenly interrupted with a smile: "My father, you missed one thing."
"One less person was mentioned?" Zhou Zhigang looked confused: "Who is it?"
Li Suhua smiled and said: "Juan'er is here again."
