Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 91 I have a little cousin

Uncle Zhao Gang, who had just been married for a year, had a new born baby in his family, which made Zhao Yuzhen happy for a long time. No, my younger brother Zhao Gang came to deliver red eggs in the morning, and in the afternoon Zhao Yuzhen went to buy five or six kilograms of rice dumplings to give to her sister-in-law who was in confinement to eat to replenish her health.

It’s strange that women must eat rice dumplings after giving birth at this time. It is said that if they don’t eat rice dumplings, their health will suffer.

Zhou Xiaoyun really can’t see how greasy, salty and crispy dumplings can nourish the body. From a scientific point of view, pregnant women should eat less oil and salt and eat more non-vegetarian foods that can produce milk.

It is estimated that at this time, every family did not have enough money to buy chickens, pigeons, hooves, etc., so they gave fried dumplings as a delicacy to the mothers.

Zhao Yuzhen probably bought enough dumplings for Zhao Gang’s wife to eat for a month. When she went there, she brought two more hooves that she had saved for the purpose.

Zhao Yuzhen brought a lot of things, so she went with Zhou Guoqiang and Erya.

Dabao and Xiaobao Zhou Xiaoyun both have to go to school, so it’s a pity that they don’t have time to go together.

Especially Zhou Xiaoyun, how much she wanted to see the newborn baby!

She recalled the scene when Niu Niu was born, how proud and happy she was at that time, full of the pride and joy of being a mother. It has been almost three years since she left Niuniu. She can only dream of her lovely daughter in her dreams. Sometimes she missed Niu Niu so much that her heart ached, but what could she do?

  She was reborn inexplicably, and she returned to her childhood without even knowing what it was all about.

 At first she often woke up crying in her sleep, wishing it was just a dream. After waking up, she could still see her beloved Niuniu sleeping next to her. Day after day, she gradually stopped thinking about it. I only dare to bury this painful longing deeply in my heart.

 Empathy has always made her particularly fond of her young sister Erya. She hugged Erya's little coquettish body like she hugged Niu Niu.

Now as soon as he heard that his uncle's little cousin was born, Zhou Xiaoyun had the urge to go and see what happened. Although I knew it belonged to my uncle's house, I couldn't help but feel that Niu Niu was born.

Zhou Xiaoyun saw Zhao Yuzhen and Zhou Guoqiang taking Erya to his uncle's house, and he wished he could change places with Erya.

Thinking and hoping and hoping until the little cousin was one month old, the school exam happened to be over. Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't wait to ask for leave with Fang Wenchao and went to his uncle's house with his parents.

 When he arrived at his uncle's house, he said hello to his grandma, and Zhou Xiaoyun quickly walked to his uncle's room to see his little cousin.

Aunt Qi Wanting was lying on the bed breastfeeding her child. Seeing Zhou Xiaoyun come in, she smiled and said, "Da Ya, where are your mother and father?"

Zhou Xiaoyun answered obediently: "The two of them are talking to grandma, and Dabao and Xiaobao Erya are playing outside. I want to come over and see my little cousin first."

 Speaking, Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't help but sit on the edge of the bed and looked at the swaddled baby.

The little baby slurping her milk had her eyes slightly closed, as if she knew someone was looking at her, so she actually opened her eyes and glanced at Zhou Xiaoyun.

Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw those bright black eyes. What appeared in front of his eyes was the newborn Niu Niu looking at him. It’s like a lifetime ago…

Qi Wanting was surprised to see Zhou Xiaoyun shed tears: "Da Ya, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Xiaoyun wiped away her tears and regained her composure, explaining that she was so happy and excited to see her little cousin.

Qi Wanting was very happy to hear what Zhou Xiaoyun said. After feeding the child, she agreed to let Zhou Xiaoyun hold her.

 Zhou Xiaoyun carefully held the little baby in his arms, feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart.

After Zhao Yuzhen entered the house, she took over and carried the baby over, while chatting with Qi Wanting about parenting.

Asked about the baby's nickname, Qi Wanting said with a smile: "The nickname has already been chosen. It will be called Zhao Xinhong. I haven't decided on a nickname yet. Or, third sister, can you choose a nickname for me?"

Zhao Yuzhen said with a smile: "I don't know how to choose names. You see, several of my children are chosen casually. Dabao, Xiaobao, Daya, Erya, they couldn't be more popular."

Zhou Xiaoyun blurted out from the side: "Call me Niuniu!"

 Qi Wanting thought about it for a while and thought the nickname was quite cute. She discussed it with Zhao Gang and officially gave the baby the nickname Niu Niu.

Zhou Xiaoyun has never left this house since she called her uncle's house. She couldn't hold the child, but she could just watch from the sidelines.

 Actually, if you look closely, you will see that there are many differences between my little cousin and my own Niuniu. Only those eyes were indeed similar. In the eyes of Zhou Xiaoyun, who missed his daughter so much, he unconsciously overlapped the two figures, and the more they looked, the more they looked like each other.

 After the full moon wine, Zhao Yuzhen and Zhou Guoqiang were ready to say goodbye. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaoyun jumped out at this time and said that he would stay at his uncle's house for a few days before going back. Zhao Yuzhen disagreed and thought it would be too troublesome for his brother: "Da Ya, your uncle has such a little baby, how can he have time to take care of you. With my mother, Go home and bring you back during the Chinese New Year.”

Zhou Xiaoyun begged hard: "Mom, I can take care of myself and won't trouble my uncle and aunt. Please let me stay for two days."

Qi Wanting was finally able to get out of bed and walk around. At this time, she had to speak out: "Third sister, if Daya wants to stay, let her stay. I will ask Zhao Gang to hand her back in a few days."

Grandma was also standing by and said, "Let Da Ya stay here for a few days and sleep with me at night."

As soon as her mother spoke, Zhao Yuzhen immediately lost the right to speak. Before leaving, she told Zhou Xiaoyun to be obedient.

Zhou Xiaoyun nodded happily and waved goodbye to Zhou Guoqiang, Zhao Yuzhen and Dabao.

Zhou Xiaoyun, who lived at her grandma's house, gave full play to her talents and worked diligently every day to sweep the floor, cook the fire, wash dishes and feed the chickens, which instantly won the favor of her grandma and aunt.

Zhou Xiaoyun stayed in his aunt Qi Wanting's house all day, holding Qi Wanting's little cousin in her arms.

 “Niuniu is good, Niuniu is so obedient…”

Zhou Xiaoyun, who kept mumbling her nickname, was calling her daughter in a daze. Zhou Xiaoyun, whose hands were sore from holding Niu Niu, couldn't bear to put Niu Niu down.

Zhou Xiaoyun reluctantly put down Niu Niu in his arms after Qi Wanting changed Niu Niu's diaper.

Qi Wanting was very happy to see Zhou Xiaoyun like her daughter so much. She never expected that what Zhou Xiaoyun saw in his eyes and thought in his heart was another Niu Niu.

Telling Zhao Gang secretly about Zhou Xiaoyun's clingy daughter, Zhao Gang said proudly: "Of course our Niuniu is loved by everyone!" Qi Wanting scratched her nose and said, "I'm not ashamed to brag."

Zhao Gang was very proud of his daughter. His first child was so precious that he and Zhou Xiaoyun competed with Zhou Xiaoyun to hold the baby at home.

 It just so happened that the weather was getting colder and the Chinese New Year was approaching, so I even stopped the tractor and didn’t go out to haul bricks.

Zhou Xiaoyun didn’t want to go home after staying at his uncle’s house.

 But seeing that the new year is approaching, it is already the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month and it has been more than ten days at my uncle's house. I could no longer find any reason to stay, so I reluctantly kissed Niu Niu on the cheek and followed Zhao Gang home.

Zhao Gang asked Zhou Xiaoyun to come back a few days after the New Year, and Zhou Xiaoyun nodded in agreement.

Zhao Yuzhen laughed when she heard this: "This kid, I really don't know how to be polite. It's enough to disturb me after spending such a long time at my uncle's house. Why do I want to go again after the new year?"

Zhou Xiaoyun just pretended not to hear, why not be more shameless?
