Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 287 Reunion (1)

 Fortunately, the time for making up classes during the winter vacation is very short, and it’s already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief and packed his schoolbag to go home. It gets dark early in winter, but it was only five o'clock and it was already a little dark outside. I guess I'll have to go back to the countryside late.

No matter how late it is, you have to go home. It’s already twenty-nine tomorrow, how can you stay alone in the city?

Wang Jingjing went to the dormitory to pack her things.

Liu Lu also accompanied Zhou Xiaoyun to pack her schoolbag. Liu Lu cheered happily: "I can finally take a few days off. It's great. I have to go to class every day to do homework, homework, and test papers. It almost drives me crazy."

Zhou Xiaoyun also smiled: "School will start on the sixth day of the new year, so we also have seven days off, which is not bad!"

While the two were talking, a familiar voice came from the classroom door: "Sister!"

 Zhou Xiaoyun turned around in surprise: "Brother!"

Isn’t the tall, dark and handsome young man standing at the door of the classroom the elder brother Dabao? Following behind was his younger brother Xiaobao.

Zhou Xiaoyun happily rushed forward and hugged Dabao, whom he hadn't seen for half a year: "Brother, when did you come back? I almost miss you."

Dabao giggled: "I just got home yesterday. I heard that you just had a holiday today and Xiaobao and I came to the city to pick you up."

Through the thick clothes, Zhou Xiaoyun felt that his brother had become stronger and more powerful. The childishness on his face had faded a lot, and he began to look more stable and mature as a man.

 It seems that Dabao has really grown a lot in the past six months!

Zhou Xiaoyun asked impatiently: "How long can you stay at home?"

Dabao replied: "Don't leave until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."

Wouldn’t it be possible to stay at home for a week? Zhou Xiaoyun was very happy, hugging Dabao and refusing to let go.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoyun's happy look, Xiaobao also laughed: "Sister, let's leave quickly. If it's too late, it might get dark."

Zhou Xiaoyun agreed and handed the schoolbag to his brother Dabao.

Dabao took the schoolbag and looked at Liu Lu aside.

 Liu Lu smiled and said hello to Dabao, and Dabao took the opportunity to chat with Liu Lu for a few words.

Zhou Xiaoyun and Xiaobao glanced at each other and deliberately took two steps quickly to give Dabao a chance to say a few words to Liu Lu.

Li Tianyu and Yang Fan came over carrying schoolbags. Liu Lu called out "Brother Xiaoyu" and waved for Li Tianyu and Yang Fan to come over.

 The group of people split into two groups when they arrived at the school gate.

Dabao was in a good mood after meeting Liu Lu, but the time was a bit too short. It was a pity that they went home without even saying a few words!

Zhou Xiaoyun quickly packed some clothes, and the three siblings started riding their bicycles home.

Zhou Xiaoyun got on Dabao's car as a matter of course. Xiaobao's riding speed alone was not as fast as Dabao's riding with Zhou Xiaoyun. In the blink of an eye, Xiaobao was dropped by a large amount.

Xiaobao rolled his eyes and shouted loudly: "Brother, I know you are stronger than me and ride faster than me. Can you wait for me? Do you think I am an athlete like you?" After that, I struggled to follow him on my bicycle.

Dabao slowed down a little and walked side by side with Xiaobao: "Haha, I'm sorry, it was purely an accident." This was really not Dabao's intention. He was used to speeding up everything, so he didn't consciously use all his strength while riding the bike.

Zhou Xiaoyun asked Dabao about his life in the track and field team.

Dabao’s eyebrows were full of joy and he started talking.

 The most important thing every day is of course training, not just running. There are also various trainings to increase physical fitness and enhance perseverance. Dabao is still a newcomer. He is currently a rookie and has not had the chance to participate in any big competitions or activities.

 Eating and drinking are provided uniformly, and each meal is nutritious and the food intake is controlled to a certain extent. It won't make you hungry, and you won't be too full. We have to supply the caloric needs for the previous day. I really admire the chefs for not knowing how to make this meal.

Zhou Xiaoyun felt very sorry for Dabao after hearing this: "Brother, don't you think you can't eat enough at every meal?"

Zhou Xiaoyun is well aware of Dabao's appetite. If he doesn't eat two large bowls of white rice at one meal, he will definitely not be full. If he eats meat buns in the morning and evening, he will have to eat at least five or six.

Dabao smiled and comforted his sister: "It's not that exaggerated. You can still eat when you are full, but you can't open it up and eat unscrupulously. Our track and field team is happy enough. I heard that the weightlifting team and the gymnastics team are comparable to ours." It’s a lot harder. They even have to strictly control their height and weight. It won’t work if it’s too tall, it won’t work if it’s too short, and it won’t work if it’s too light. I really don’t know what these people usually eat.”

Zhou Xiaoyun was amused by Dabao.

Xiaobao said jokingly: "It seems that the biggest advantage of brother coming home is that he can eat freely."

Dabao laughed loudly.

Zhou Xiaoyun felt that this long-lost scene made people feel warm and happy.

 After arriving home, the family was actually busy with lights on.

In the large yard, several men hired to help were tying and killing pigs, while Zhao Yuzhen was busy in the kitchen making dinner.

Erya stood at the gate waiting for her brothers and sisters to come back as usual.

 Amid Erya’s cheers, the three siblings pushed the cart into the house.

Since there was no room in the yard, Zhou Xiaoyun and his sister hurriedly ran to the kitchen. Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't help but gasped when he heard the noisy and lively scene outside: "It's so lively!"

Zhao Yuzhen was cooking soy milk, and while controlling the heat, she answered with a smile: "I'm very busy these days. There are so many people buying meat during the New Year. I can't even be busy at the market, and your dad has to be busy collecting and killing pigs. Delivering goods to various stores can’t help me at all. This year, it’s thanks to Xiaobao and Erya! I'm hungry, but luckily I have two more helpers to help me."

Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't help but look at Erya with admiration: "Hey, Erya can help! Will you receive fake money when you collect money?"

Erya was not convinced and was laughed at by her sister. She raised her head proudly and said, "How could I receive fake money? What kind of fake money can be hidden from my fiery eyes?"

As he spoke, he deliberately widened his already big eyes.

Xiaobao unceremoniously exposed Erya: "Come on, don't brag like it's true. If I hadn't found out earlier today and called back the person who gave the one hundred fake money, you would have The fake money was taken home as real money.”

Zhou Xiaoyun and Dabao both laughed.

Erya was a little annoyed and angry, but what Xiaobao said was true, which made Erya unable to come to the stage.

Zhao Yuzhen smoothed things over and said, "Erya is only twelve years old and only thirteen after the New Year. It's not bad to have such a performance. I have decided to double the New Year's money for everyone this year." The wealthy mother announced the good news. Afterwards, the four brothers and sisters cheered together.

As soon as Erya heard how much New Year's money he could get, his eyes narrowed with joy, he threw out of his mind what Xiaobao had just laughed at, and began to calculate how much New Year's money he would have.
