Chapter 196 Rhododendron Blooms
After Zhao Dezhu made the call, he walked in from the balcony.
I thought Zhou Congfang would ask him who made the call like he did in the past, but he even thought of an excuse.
But I never thought that Zhou Congfang didn't ask, just said: "Eat quickly, the food is cold."
This made Zhao Dezhu a little uncomfortable.
However, Zhao Dezhu quickly put it down and said, "Mom, you all will go to Binhai with me this time."
"Go back to Binhai?" Grandma was stunned when she heard this and glanced at Zhou Congfang.
Seeing her looking as if nothing had happened, she was just immersed in eating.
So he shook his head and said: "Forget it, I won't go. I have lived here all my life and am used to it."
"Mom, I also want you to help me take care of Cong Fang." Zhao Dezhu said.
"This way..."
"No, I'm not going to Binhai either. I live a good life here. I'm at home with my mother. I'm not going anywhere." Zhou Congfang raised her head and said.
"Cong Fang..." Zhao Dezhu opened his mouth, wanting to persuade her to go back with him, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Zhou Congfang turned to look at him and said with a smile: "You can go back and do your work. I'm fine, I made you worry."
The grandmother sitting opposite them looked at her daughter's smile and felt a little flustered for some reason.
So he opened his mouth to persuade: "You should go back with Xiao Zhao, I don't need you to accompany me."
Zhou Congfang heard this and said: "I know."
"You went to Binhai, and I was... eh..."
She wanted to persuade her again, but she didn't expect Zhou Congfang to agree so easily.
Zhao Ruijin was happy and worried at the same time. He was naturally happy that his parents could be together again, but he was worried about what to do with Aunt Yu Zhenzhen?
Zhao Dezhu seemed to notice his son's gaze and gave him a reassuring look.
After dinner, grandma said she had to wash the dishes and asked the couple to take Zhao Ruijin out for a walk.
Grandma always felt that something was wrong with Zhou Congfang, so she still hoped that Zhao Dezhu could solve her problem.
So the couple took Zhao Ruijin and walked along the road they often walked in the past.
"The first time I came to your grandparents' house, it was raining. Your mother was waiting for me at the intersection with an umbrella. But the rain was so heavy that even with the umbrella, she was soaked in the rain and was so cold. Shivering..."
Zhao Dezhu pointed to the alley where he first came.
Zhou Congfang didn't say anything when he heard this. He just looked at him with a smile and tenderness.
Zhao Dezhu stretched out his hand. Zhou Congfang hesitated for a moment and then handed it over.
Zhao Dezhu took her hand, clasped their fingers together, and continued: "I got off the car and saw her like this, but I felt very sad. I said why don't you wait at home, but she said she was afraid that I didn't know the way... ”
"In the end, both of us were soaked in water. My son-in-law came to the house for the first time. It was so embarrassing..." Zhao Dezhu said.
"Later, I put your grandpa's pajamas on him, but your grandpa was too thin, and the clothes were tight on him like a monkey..." Zhou Congfang took over the conversation.
"The threads in my crotch were also fried. I was very embarrassed at the time and wanted to get into the seam." Zhao Dezhu said.
Zhao Ruijin couldn't help but laugh as he thought about the original situation.
When passing by the vegetable market, because there was no one around at noon, the entire vegetable market seemed extremely quiet. There were only some small ceiling fans tied with red ropes to drive away flies, spinning slowly and making a squeaking sound.
"It's been so many years, but nothing has changed here."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Dezhu couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Congfang looked at him and showed a slight smile. Even though he had lost weight, he still gave people a gentle feeling.
"Zhao Dezhu..." She suddenly called him.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Dezhu looked at her with some confusion.
"I'm sorry."
"What?"
Zhao Dezhu was stunned for a moment, then realized and said quickly: "You didn't do anything wrong, you don't need to apologize."
Zhou Congfang turned her head and looked at her son who was looking around at the stall in front of him.
He said slowly: "Emotions are like sand on the beach. The tighter you hold on, the more it will leak out from your fingers. This is true for you and Zhou Zhou..."
"It's all over..."
Zhao Dezhu knew that Zhou Congfang just loved him too much.
There is nothing wrong with love itself, they are together because of love, but when love becomes a burden, a desire to control the other person, it can be suffocating. Zhou Congfang didn't say anything after hearing this.
The family of three walked out for a long time, but because Zhou Congfang couldn't keep up with the physical strength, they took a break.
But no one mentioned the past anymore, just like a happy family of three.
Zhou Congfang also learned the cause of the matter from Zhao Ruijin's mouth and solved his doubts.
But after hearing about Zhao Ruijin, Zhou Congfang's calm reaction made Zhao Dezhu slightly worried.
A few people walked around all afternoon and walked a long way, but they didn't go to many places.
When they came back, grandma had already cooked dinner and was waiting for them.
"You're back." Grandma stood at the door and greeted her with a smile.
Seeing Zhao Dezhu holding something in his hand, he complained: "Why are you still buying things? You don't lack anything, you spend money indiscriminately."
"I bought some, it didn't cost much," Zhao Dezhu said.
He was also used to the old man's complaints. Every time he brought something to the door, he would always say a few words. He didn't have any bad intentions, it was just a habit of saving money all his life.

After dinner, grandma said to Zhao Dezhu: "You will be in the same room as Cong Fang tonight, and I won't clean it up for you."
Zhao Dezhu glanced at Zhou Congfang, hesitated and said: "It's still not possible, Mom, please clean up a room for me."
"Mom, I want Zhou Zhou to sleep with me tonight." Zhou Congfang said.
"Okay, then you can sleep in the small study tonight." Grandma thought that the two of them were divorced after all, so she didn't insist anymore.
The small study room was a small room where Zhou Congfang did his homework when he was in school. Later, when it was no longer needed, a bed was placed there and was regarded as a guest room. However, few people came to the house, so there was a lot of debris piled up in the small study room.
Everyone worked together to clean it up and quickly packed it out, but they found a lot of things from Zhou Congfang's previous school days.
Workbooks, celebrity cards, commemorative books, graduation photos, etc.
Seeing this, Zhou Congfang's originally not very good spirit became high-spirited. She pulled her son and told him some things about her past.
Zhao Dezhu didn't know many things, so he listened with interest.
It wasn't until grandma saw that it was getting late and urged everyone to take a rest that she returned to the room.
When he arrived at the room, Zhao Dezhu quickly began to feel sleepy. After all, he was also in his forties. The day's running around and emotional stress made him sleepy, so he quickly fell asleep.
But Zhou Congfang in the other room did not sleep, but whispered to her son.
"Don't ghosts need to sleep?"
"It doesn't matter whether you want to sleep or not. Mom, just go to sleep. I'll be with you."
Zhao Ruijin is still in a good mood. He finally fulfilled his wish and reconciled his parents. When he returns to Binhai tomorrow, everything will be the same as before.
"Well, Zhou Zhou, I'm sorry, it's all my mother's fault..."
"Mom, stop talking. I said it, and I don't blame you anymore." Zhao Ruijin whispered.
"Thank you."
"Go to sleep quickly, you are already sleepy."
"Zhou Zhou, since you're not sleeping, can you help me go to Haitang Park to see if the azaleas are in bloom? The large swathes of azaleas are so beautiful. When your father and I got married, the wedding photos were taken there. If It's open, can you pick a few for me? Can't you fly? It should be quick..." Zhou Congfang closed her eyes and murmured softly.
"Okay, mom, leave it to me." Zhao Ruijin turned into a gust of wind, swirling around the house, as if to show off his power, and then flew out of the window.
"Zhouzhou~"
In the darkness, Zhou Congfang called out softly, but no one responded. She turned over and sat up on the bed, got out of bed, and walked to the bathroom.
This silly boy, how come there are so many azaleas in Haitang Park, and how come azaleas bloom in autumn.
In order to save space, many new houses now only have rain showers and rarely have bathtubs.
But in old houses like Zhou Congfang's, the bathrooms would have bathtubs. Because bathtubs seemed to be a trend at that time, many people installed them.
When I felt it was getting in the way, and because the floor was too high, I was too old, and it couldn't be dismantled, I kept it.
Zhou Congfang was lying in the bathtub, the warm water covering her whole body, but she still felt cold all over, without any heat. =
The blood on his wrist stained the bathtub red. Next to it was a knife, a sharp steel knife.
The thick handle, the back of the knife with light blue spray remaining, and the sharp edge shone with a cold light.
It was her father's proud work back then, a knife made from half a hacksaw blade.
The azaleas seemed to be blooming, and she saw large tracts of azaleas...
