After the New Year, Zhou Ziwen took his two sisters and children out to pay New Year greetings to relatives and friends.
In fact, they didn't have many relatives in the city. They only went to Zhou Chaoyang and Uncle Zhou once.
Then the eldest sister took Zheng Ming and the child home to visit relatives.
The eldest sister Zhou Xiulan took Zheng Ming and her children home to visit relatives. The family sat together, laughing and laughing.
Zhou Xiulan held Zhou Ziwen's hand, her eyes full of concern: "Ziwen, is life in the country hard? If you encounter any difficulties, you must tell the elder sister."
Zhou Ziwen responded with a smile: "Sister, it's not hard. I am doing well in the village and I have made many friends. Everyone takes good care of me."
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying also shared their life in the countryside with their eldest sister, telling the story of the simplicity and kindness of the villagers.
The children were laughing and playing on the side. Xiao Yueyue was teasing her nephew with a small doll, while Xiao Xuanxuan was watching curiously, laughing happily from time to time.
Zheng Ming sat aside and listened carefully to everyone's conversation, nodding in agreement from time to time.
He looked at Zhou Ziwen and said: "Ziwen, I heard from my eldest sister that you have done a lot of things in the countryside, and you have great ideas."
Zhou Ziwen answered modestly: "Brother Zheng, I also want to make some contribution to the village so that everyone's life can be better."
Dad Zhou looked at this warm scene with a happy smile on his face. He said to Zhou Xiulan and Zheng Ming: "You should take care of yourselves in the city and don't work too hard."
Zhou Xiulan nodded in agreement: "Dad, don't worry. We are all fine. But you and Mom, please pay attention to your health."
However, the time together is always short-lived.
As the holiday came to an end, Zhou Ziwen's family had to prepare for their return trip.
On the day of farewell, light snow fell in the sky, which seemed to add a touch of sadness to the separation.
Zhou Ma got up early and prepared a sumptuous breakfast for them, her eyes full of reluctance: "Eat more, and be careful on the road."
Zhou Ziwen's family ate breakfast in silence, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.
The children also seemed to feel the breath of parting. Little Yueyue held Zhou's mother's hand tightly and whispered: "Grandma, I don't want to leave."
Zhou's mother held back tears and comforted: "Little Yueyue, be good and come back next time during the holiday. Grandma will miss you."
Father Zhou patted Zhou Ziwen on the shoulder and said, "Son, go back and work hard. Don't worry about the family."
Zhou Ziwen nodded and said: "Dad, I can do it. You and Mom should also take care of yourself."
The second sister, Zhou Yaqin, hugged little Yueyue with tears in her eyes: "Little Yueyue, listen to your parents. Your aunt will miss you."
Little Yueyue nodded sensibly: "Auntie, I will miss you too."
Zhou Xiaomei's eyes were red, and she handed Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying two towels she had knitted by herself: "Sister-in-law, Sister Shiying, I made these for you. Wear them as if I am by your side."
Chen Qiaoyi took the towel and hugged Zhou Xiaomei emotionally: "Little sister, you are so considerate. We will definitely keep it well."
Chen Shiying also smiled and nodded: "Little sister, thank you. You should also be good at home and try to find a good partner this year."
After hearing Chen Shiying's words, Zhou Xiaomei blushed slightly and said angrily: "Sister Shiying, please stop making fun of me."
But there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.
After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and his family began to pack their luggage and prepare to set off.
Zhou's mother and father kept stuffing all kinds of food into their bags, for fear that they would be hungry on the way back.
Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi comforted the two old people while cleaning up, telling them not to worry. "Mom and Dad, we will write back frequently. You should also pay more attention to your health at home." Zhou Ziwen said.
"That's right, we will be fine. It's not easy for you in the countryside, so you have to take good care of yourself." Chen Qiaoyi also added.
Little Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan were infected by the adults' emotions and became much quieter.
"Okay, it's almost time, we have to leave." Zhou Ziwen looked at the time and said goodbye to his family.
After hearing Zhou Ziwen's words, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were full of reluctance, but they still nodded.
Second sister Zhou Yaqin took the hands of Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying and warned them again:
"Yiyi, Shiying, if you encounter anything in the village, you must tell us as soon as possible. If you need anything, don't be polite, just write back."
Chen Qiaoyi smiled and said: "Second sister, don't worry. We will take care of ourselves. You should also be well in the city and try to hear the news of your marriage this year."
Zhou Yaqin lightly hit Chen Qiaoyi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me. You should pay attention to safety in the village, especially with two children."
After Zhou Ziwen put away his luggage, he turned around and said to Zhou's father and mother: "Mom and dad, we're leaving. Please take care of yourself."
Dad Zhou took a deep breath and said, "Go and live a good life."
Zhou Ziwen took his luggage, set off with his two sisters and their children, found a tricycle outside, and rushed to the train station.

When they arrived at the train station, Zhou Chaoyang had been waiting for a while.
When Zhou Chaoyang saw Zhou Ziwen's family arriving, he hurried forward to greet them, took some of Zhou Ziwen's luggage, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, you are finally here. I was worried that I would not be able to catch the train."
Zhou Ziwen responded with a smile: "Haha, you've been waiting for a long time! We were delayed for a while when we went out."
Zhou Chaoyang waved his hand and said: "Not long ago, I just arrived."
He turned to look at Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying, and said hello with a smile, "Sister-in-law, sister Shiying, how are you? Little Yueyue, little Xuanxuan, do you miss your uncle?"
Little Yueyue said sweetly: "I miss my uncle."
Xiao Xuanxuan waved his hands and groaned without knowing what he was talking about.
Zhou Chaoyang smiled and touched the heads of the two children.
At this time, Zhou Ziwen looked at the big clock at the train station and said, "There is still plenty of time. Let's go to the waiting room to have a rest first."
Everyone came to the waiting room and found an empty seat to sit down. The waiting room was very noisy with people coming and going.
Little Yueyue looked at the crowd around her curiously, her little eyes full of novelty.
Chen Qiaoyi took out some snacks and handed them to Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan, and said softly: "Baby, have some snacks."
Xiao Yueyue took the snack, handed one to Xiao Xuanxuan, and said, "Brother, here you go." Xiao Xuanxuan happily took it, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Zhou Chaoyang looked at the two children and said to Zhou Ziwen with a smile: "Brother Zhou, these two children are getting more and more cute."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded: "Yes, they are our pistachios!"
As the announcement in the waiting room sounded, reminding them of the upcoming train, Zhou Ziwen and his family began to pack their things and prepare to check in.
Zhou Chaoyang helped carry the luggage, and the group walked towards the ticket gate.
After checking their tickets, they boarded the train smoothly and found their compartment.
Sijiucheng is Zhou Chaoyang's home court, so it's very easy to get a few sleeping tickets. (End of chapter)
