Chapter 401 A little bit of schadenfreude
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Huo Changqing stretched out his hand, held her hand, and gently tapped her palm.
When Zhang Jingjing saw this, she said nothing more.
Without the eyesore, the rest of the program looked more interesting. When it was over, Zhang Jingjing and Huo Changqing left.
When going back, Huo Changqing was still riding the bike, much slower than before, for fear that Zhang Jingjing would be bumped.
"It's okay now. Let's go see the old man and the others, shall we?"
Huo Changqing proposed, and Zhang Jingjing agreed.
Huo Changqing hasn't been back for so long. It's hard to go home empty-handed and buy some food before going home.
When I arrived at the place, I found that the old lady had been ill recently and had been lying on the bed to recuperate.
After sitting down, they inevitably talked about Zhang Zhizhi again. The more Huo Changqing listened, the deeper his frown deepened. It was really annoying for such a clown to cause trouble in front of the old lady every day.
Huo Changqing didn't like this cousin to begin with, but now that he saw him and Zhang Zhizhi working together, he really wanted to go over and beat them on the ground.
"I'll go there in a minute."
Huo Changqing was angry. Although he couldn't hit a woman, it was relatively easy to deal with Huo Jianming.
"There's no need to go. Your uncle has already kicked them two to live in a guest house. I have also severed ties with them. From now on, we will pretend that there is no such person in our family."
Huo Changqing looked at the old lady's haggard face and felt that this was giving them an advantage.
"Grandma, your body and bones are not strong to begin with. No matter what happens in the future, don't take it to heart. Put your body first."
It is inevitable that people will have problems as they age. If you don't think about it any longer, your body may collapse.
How can Zhang Zhizhi and the others compare with the old lady with their three-liang bones?
"Don't worry, grandma is fine. You should take better care of yourself in the army. Now that Jingjing is pregnant, you are about to become a father. You must pay attention to your own safety. Do you understand?"
That's what it's like to be a soldier. You have to go out on missions from time to time, and every time you go on a mission, there's danger.
Huo Changqing had never thought about it so much before, and his mind was full of work. But since he was with Zhang Jingjing, he has concerns in his heart, and he is more cautious than before when going on missions.
"Don't worry, grandma, I will take good care of myself. You must quickly take good care of yourself. I will count on you to help take care of my great-grandson."
After hearing what her grandson said, the old lady was extremely happy and started talking more.
After chatting for a long time, Zhang Jingjing asked the old couple to come over for dinner, but the old man refused.
"Let's go again on New Year's Eve. Your grandma has been in poor health these past two days, and I don't want her to run around all the time."
It's cold outside now, and it's easy to catch a cold even if you wear too thick a layer of clothing. Since the old lady is not going, Mr. Huo naturally has to stay at home.
The old couple had a good relationship, and Huo Changqing and the others were too embarrassed to persist, so they stood up and left.
After returning home, Huo Changan and the others had already arrived. When the two brothers met, they naturally had something to say. Huo Changqing patted his eldest brother on the back.
"Are you getting used to being transferred to the capital to work?"
Huo Changan sat down, smiled and nodded, "It's good, I'm getting used to it."
Although the two of them are not in the same department, Huo Changqing knows to some extent that the eldest brother is a prominent figure in the research institute. Some scientific research must be kept secret, so achievements cannot be publicized too much.
But he knew how capable this elder brother was.
Wang Hui and the others also came over. They were a little cramped before, but now they have adapted to it, and they were busy helping to clean up.
Dabao, Erbao, and the three little ones were playing outside the house. You chased me, and I didn’t feel tired chasing you. From time to time, there was laughter.
Zhang Jingjing wanted to help cook some dishes, but was stopped by Wang Gui'e.
Since she became pregnant, she has become the key protection object of the family, and they want to make her lie down every day.
Zhang Jingjing sighed, "Mom, I'm fine. Changqing is back. Make him some of his favorite dishes."
She said and winked at her mother. Wang Gui'e hesitated. It was understandable that her son-in-law came back after a long time and her daughter wanted to cook her something delicious.
"Okay, then I'll give you a hand."
Zhang Jingjing was a little helpless when she saw this.
After cooking, everyone gathered together to eat. Compared with the Huo family, the Zhang family was naturally much different, but they didn't have to chat together, just talking about daily life and so on.
Huo Changqing also asked Zhang Jingjing how her two brothers were doing in the factory and whether they were used to it. He seemed very concerned.
Zhang Fuqiang and Zhang Zhijun are naturally grateful. Life now is a hundred times better than before. In the past, they would go to work in the fields before dawn and could not come back until dark in the afternoon. They could not make much money all year round, and their rations were just enough.
Things are different now. If we continue like this, we will be able to save a lot of money next year. The most important thing is that our two children will go to school and become educated people in the future.
"Everything is fine. Thank you, brother-in-law. You have taken care of our affairs."
Huo Changqing smiled and shook his head, "We are all from the same family. We don't talk about the two families. If you need any help, just ask."
Zhang Jingjing was in the kitchen today, and the food she cooked was the most delicious. Before it was over, the dishes had been finished.
After eating, Wang Hui and the others left without staying for a while, because it was snowing outside. Although it was not heavy now, the road might be slippery in a while.
Seeing this, Huo Changan decided to stay at home for a day so that the whole family could get together.
Zhang Jingjing walked out of the yard, looked at the large swaths of snowflakes, and took a deep breath.
In the next few days, Zhang Jingjing was not idle. She went with her family to prepare things for the New Year. Although they were almost ready, there were still some scattered items.
After returning home, Wu Peilan cooked the dough and everyone started to post couplets.
The couplets were written by Li Guobang, who has good handwriting. After everyone posted the couplets, they also hung two red lanterns at the door.
That's how it is in the north, it's festive during the New Year.
The children are also the happiest. The three little ones went out to play in the past two days and always received a lot of candies.
Zhang Jingjing and the others also bought a lot, and they dispersed when children came over to play.
That day, Zhang Jingjing was warming up around the stove when she saw the matchmaker from the courtyard coming in and pulling Wu Peilan into the house with a happy face.
Zhang Jingjing glanced at Huo Changan and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm afraid you are going to have a blind date during the Chinese New Year."
Huo Changan was stunned for a moment and reacted immediately.
"Who's coming?"
"The matchmaker from our compound is here. I just saw him going to Mom's house."
Huo Changan sighed, somewhat helpless. In fact, if it weren't for the urging from his family, he really wouldn't be so anxious.
Huo Changqing on the side noticed that Zhang Jingjing was somewhat gloating about his misfortune, and also looked at the elder brother on the side.
"If it doesn't work, just look for it yourself. If you can't find it, let your family introduce you."
