Chapter 518 Happy Meeting
On the morning of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Weidong took Hao Shuwen off the train at Beijing Station. After walking out of the exit, Zhao Weidong looked at the prosperous and bustling city and felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
"Brother Weidong, should I go home first or go home with you?" Hao Shuwen said to Zhao Weidong.
"Did you tell your dad that you were coming back today?" Zhao Weidong asked curiously.
"No!" Hao Shuwen said as a matter of course.
"Then why are you going home? Just come with me to my house, it's a good opportunity to get to know each other!" said Zhao Weidong.
"Okay then! How do we get there?" Hao Shuwen looked at the things in the two people's hands, a pile of big and small bags. If they walked there, they would be exhausted.
"Let's find a car to carry the things!" Zhao Weidong waved and called a tricycle. He put all the things on the tricycle, and the two of them followed the tricycle home.
From Beiping Station, it was southeast of the Forbidden City, and Meichang Hutong was just north of the Forbidden City, near Shichahai Lake. The two places were quite far apart. It took Zhao Weidong and his friends about 40 minutes to reach their doorstep.
After knocking on the door, someone came to open it and Zhao Weidong stood at the door waiting.
It was Xiuzhi who opened the door because everyone else had gone to work.
"Oh, Weidong is back?" Xiuzhi opened the door and saw that it was Zhao Weidong, and immediately greeted him happily.
"Aunt Xiuzhi, this is my girlfriend Hao Shuwen! Shuwen, this is my Aunt Xiuzhi, the cousin of Tian Dan's mother!" Zhao Weidong knew that in front of outsiders, he had to call Ye Juan and Xiuzhi aunt, and not call them Third Mother and Fourth Mother.
"Hello, Auntie, I'm Hao Shuwen!" Hao Shuwen extended her hand and shook hands with Xiuzhi.
"Okay, okay, come into the yard quickly! Your father and your mother have gone to work and will not be back until the evening! There are only me and the children at home, so come into the yard quickly and don't stand at the door!" Xiuzhi quickly took the things in Hao Shuwen's hand, took Hao Shuwen's hand and walked into the yard.
Zhao Weidong and Wobo moved the things from the car into the yard. After paying Wobo the fare, Zhao Weidong walked into the yard and closed the gate again.
"Brother, let me help you!" Lao Liu came out of the house with several older brothers, and quickly helped to carry all the things into the main house in the front yard.
"Lao Liu, how are your preparations for the college entrance examination going?" Zhao Weidong patted Lao Liu's shoulder and asked with a smile.
"Does this require careful preparation? It's within our grasp!" Lao Liu said with a smile.
The children of the Zhao family are not only physically strong but also very smart. Studying is very easy for them, and it is easy for them to get into college.
"Don't be careless. I heard from Dad that you want to apply to Peking University?" Zhao Weidong asked.
"Well, it's close to home, so I can go home anytime!" said Zhao Weiping.
"Then prepare well. You are the first scholar in our family, unlike us who are all warriors!" Zhao Weidong said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense here! If your father hears you, he will spank you." Zhao Weiping said.
After walking a few steps into the house, I saw Xiuzhi giving fruits to Hao Shuwen. Although they were common fruits in that era, they were not something that ordinary families could afford.
"Aunt Xiuzhi, you don't have to bother. We are not strangers!" Zhao Weidong quickly took the tray from Xiuzhi's hand and handed it to Hao Shuwen.
After all, Xiuzhi is his fourth mother. How can he let his elders do these things?
"Child, this is the first time Shuwen comes to our house, we should treat her well?" Xiuzhi looked at Hao Shuwen with a satisfied look on her face.
Hao Shuwen is tall, about 1.7 meters, more than 10 centimeters taller than Xiuzhi. She is also good-looking and has a good figure. It is obvious that she is fertile. Xiuzhi, like Pingping, feels that it is time for the Zhao family to have more children.
Although Xiuzhi and Ye Juan were both pregnant, they were only three months pregnant and hadn't shown any signs of pregnancy yet, so it was completely invisible to outsiders. Hao Shuwen was just a little curious about why Brother Weidong seemed to be too respectful to Aunt Xiuzhi.
"Are you tired from taking the train? What do you want to eat at noon? Tell me and I'll go buy some groceries for you!" Xiuzhi asked with a smile, holding Hao Shuwen's hand and sitting on the kang.
"Just eat whatever we have at home. There's nothing good to eat at this time." Zhao Weidong said.
Xiuzhi agreed. There wasn't much good food in the winter except cabbage and potatoes. The family still had a lot of things to prepare for the New Year, especially since Pingping had bought a lot of good things when she knew the eldest and second sons were coming back.
"Okay, you guys sit down first, I'll go cook for you! Wei Ping, send Wei Yu to your ninth sister and let her take care of him!" Xiuzhi said.
"Okay!" Wei Ping agreed readily, and carried Wei Yu to Wei Yang's room in the middle courtyard. At this time, Wei Yang was doing homework in the room!
Hearing that his sister-in-law was coming, Wei Yang immediately followed Wei Ping and carried Wei Yu back to the front yard. As soon as he entered the house, he began to look at Hao Shuwen carefully.
"Wei Yang, this is your sister Shuwen, and this is my ninth sister Zhao Wei Yang, you can just call her Xiao Jiu!" Zhao Weidong introduced the two to each other.
"Hello Wei Yang, I'm Hao Shuwen!" Hao Shuwen, a girl from Beijing, is not shy and greets him confidently.
"Hello, sister-in-law, you can just call me Xiaojiu, everyone in the family calls me that!" When Wei Yang smiled, two shallow dimples appeared on his face. Zhao Wei Yang, who is sixteen years old this year, is already 1.7 meters tall, almost the same height as Hao Shuwen.
She wore army green pants, a white shirt, and a light green cotton coat, giving people a heroic feeling. Like her elder sister, she was a heroine.
"Xiaojiu, how old are you? How come you're so tall? You're almost as tall as me!" Hao Shuwen couldn't help but ask as she looked at Zhao Weiyang, who was not only good-looking but also had a good figure in all aspects. Especially Zhao Weiyang's long legs, when she stood in front of her, she felt as if she was smaller.
"I'm sixteen years old this year!" Zhao Weiyang hugged Wei Yu, put her on the kang and let her eat. He also picked up an apple and took a bite and said.
"Don't worry about that. You'll know when you see the eldest sister. She is the same age as me, about 1.78 meters tall, and looks about the same as me!" Zhao Weidong smiled and pulled Hao Shuwen to sit down on the kang.
"Really?" Hao Shuwen asked in shock. You have to know that in that era, Chinese people were generally not tall. After all, they didn't eat well and their nutrition was a bit insufficient. Especially for girls, being 1.6 meters tall was considered tall. At 1.7 meters, she was already the tallest in the art troupe.
She didn't expect that there was someone taller than her. This really surprised Hao Shuwen.
"This is normal. After all, we have enough food at home. People who eat well will naturally grow taller! Haven't you noticed that none of them are short?" Zhao Weidong said.
Hao Shuwen looked at the boys in the room and found that it was true. They were all quite tall and not very old.
