Chapter 1224 Returning Home
When Han Li was looking at his mother's back in a daze, Han's mother turned her head when she heard the sound of the suitcase rolling on the stone slab.
"son.."
"Mom, I'm back."
Mother Han: "It's good when you're back. It's good when you're back. Come over quickly and show me if you've lost weight."
After hearing this, Han Li put down his suitcase and trotted over and said.
"It's impossible to lose weight. Your son, I will eat anything except not to suffer a loss, but I am really greedy, especially the braised pork. Thinking about it now makes my mouth water.
Mom, don’t you know that over there in England, besides steamed potatoes, there are also boiled potatoes, or fried potato chips? The dishes made by the chefs in their big hotels over here would make dogs shake their heads after eating them. . "
Mother Han: "Look how pitiful my son is. Mom will buy meat for you to cook later. Come and see Xiaoliang first."
Full of guilt, Han Li bent down and reached out to hug his little son for the first time, who had not been with him since he was born.
Xiaoliang was born on December 29th of last year, and today is May 19th of the Gregorian calendar. It has been almost six months since he was born. He is chubby and very cute.
A six-month-old child can already tell the difference between strangers and family members. As soon as Han Li held him in his arms for a while, the little guy howled at the top of his lungs.
Han Li started to shake according to his previous experience of holding Ming and Ming, but the little guy's crying did not stop even after shaking him several times.
Mother Han couldn't bear to hear her grandson cry. When she saw this, she reached out and took it, patted it twice and waited for Xiaoliang to stop crying before saying.
"This child has not seen you since he was born. Now he has recognized you. It is normal for him to cry when you hold him. However, children have little memory. Just stay with him until tomorrow."
Han Li knew that this was the truth. When Xiao Ming and Xiao Ming went back to their grandma's house for more than ten days, they separated from him for a long time when they came back. Not to mention that Xiao Liang had not seen him since he was a child, so crying when being hugged by a stranger meant that the child clever.
Mother Han only reacted when Xiaoliang stopped crying, and said while putting him back into the stroller.
"I'm happy to see you back and visiting. Let's go home quickly. You have a good wash, and I'll make phone calls and buy groceries."
Next, Han's mother pushed the stroller with one hand and helped Han Li pull a suitcase with the other. The mother and son walked towards the home more than ten meters away while talking.
Before he even entered the door, he heard the whining sounds of Yamamoto and Inoue inside. As soon as the street door opened, they rushed up to him, wagging their tails and whining vigorously around Han Li.
Han Li freed up a hand to rub their dogs' heads, then closed the door and followed his mother into the yard.
After not coming back for a year, Han Li felt that the jujube and sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the yard had become much thicker, and the roses in the flower garden were becoming more and more prosperous.
The carp in the fish tank next to the water faucet has been replaced by goldfish, and everything is going in the right direction.
Han Li was looking around in the yard when Mother Han pushed Xiao Liang under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and said.
"Son, stop looking and take a shower. By the way, what else do you want to eat? I'll call your eldest sister and ask her to buy it together when she comes over."
Han Li: "Pork, please make it fatter, and then some pig head meat and pork belly. I'm craving for this right now."
(Sister Han went to a technical secondary school. She graduated from school this spring with excellent grades and the title of outstanding student. She currently works in the Dongcheng Transportation Management Bureau office.
Sister Han also knows that her current job is run by her younger brother, because she has been called to talk to the school twice, once when she returned to the bus company as a dispatcher, and once when she is now working in the Transportation Bureau. )
After Han Li told his mother his request, he took his clothes and went to take a shower in the bathroom in the west wing. Han's mother picked up the phone and called out.
When Sister Han heard the news that her brother was back, she called Dai Jing'an with a face of surprise. She put down the phone again and asked for leave to go shopping on the street.
Next was Qi Xiaomei. She put down the phone and immediately found her master to ask for leave and rush back.
As for the Yun sisters, He Mi, and Hou Yuhua, they were attending classes at Yanda University, and the second sister Han and the third sister Han were studying in their respective schools. Wang Chunhua took Da and Xiao Ming to Tiger Alley, so it was a bit inconvenient to contact them.
Why doesn't Xiaoliang go over there? This is mainly because Da and Xiao Ming are now one and a half years old. They have reached an age where it is difficult to take care of them. As long as they open their eyes, they will never have a safe time.
Wang Chunhua has almost reached the limit of taking care of Brother Da and Xiao Ming by herself. If Xiao Liang is added to them, she can't take care of them at all.
At first, we planned to find one more person to take care of the children. Firstly, there was no suitable candidate. Secondly, if we added two more people in Tiger Alley, it would become eight people. Living together was a bit frustrating.
In addition, Mother Han felt sorry for He Mi as she had no natal family, no supporter behind her, and other reasons that had to be considered, so she kept Xiao Liang by her side and took care of her personally.
He also issued a special monthly pass for He Mi, allowing her to go home from school every afternoon to feed her children, and then rush to school early the next morning.
Han Li took a shower very quickly. He came out of the shower room shirtless and wearing big pants. He touched the billiard table and the piano. Looking at the familiar room, he felt unusually comfortable.
Although Han Li took a shower quickly, he lingered in the west wing for a while before coming out.
At this time, Mother Han had moved the electric fan under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard. She not only made tea for her son, but also put the watermelon under the water faucet and rinsed it with water.
After Han Li came out, he sat directly in front of the table, took a sip from the teacup, and immediately complimented his mother.
Although these words were old, and Han Li had said some of them several times, the effect was very good, and a few words made Han's mother laugh.
The mother and son were teasing Xiao Liang while chatting about family matters. Soon, the voice of Sister Han came from outside the door, and she called before she even entered the door.
"Mom, mom, is my younger brother really back?"
"Sister, I'm back."
Sister Han set up the bicycle and didn't even care about the meat on the bicycle. She first pulled Han Li around and said the same thing as Han's mother.
"You've lost weight."
Han Li.
Before the brother and sister chatted for a while, Qi Zhaodi had already rushed back with a lot of food.
"Brother Han"
Although Qi Zhaodi didn't circle around Han Li like Sister Han, her posture was similar.
Han Li now has a headache when he hears the word "thin". He doesn't give Qi Zhaodi a chance to say that she has lost weight. After a few words, he directly pulls her to sit down and continue the previous topic.
However, most of the time they listen to Han Li complaining about the situation in England, including the poor food, the fishy pork, etc., and he also talks about how he misses the meals at home.
Of course, there are also the lives of the unemployed. Almost everything that can be said is said, and the ones that are not suitable to be said cannot be mentioned at all.
Han Li's words opened their eyes, because in the past two years, some foreign films have been introduced into China, and everyone said that these are not at all different from the movies. Unexpectedly, foreigners also only pick the good ones to shoot.
The current domestic movies are mainly for publicity, while foreign movies are mainly for box office and making money. The nature of these is different, so there is really nothing to discuss about this kind of thing.
Han Li also learned from his mother and others that after the superiors approved that people with formal household registration can engage in individual labor in services and handicrafts in the local area, the scope of individual business was expanded again last year.
Therefore, in the second half of last year, the first private restaurant in Sijiu City was opened. Many people saw that the business was good, and new restaurants and small restaurants have emerged one after another in Sijiu City in the past six months.
Because of the good service attitude, many people like to go to the private business when they invite guests for dinner.
Like the restaurants, there are also some small shops that sell daily necessities such as needles and thread, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, melon seeds, and sugar balls.
Most small shops have telephones, but they can only make domestic long-distance calls. International long-distance calls still need to go to the post office. Such a small shop opened at the south entrance of Mianhua Hutong.
Such small shops are close to home, and the old neighbors are nice to talk to. Therefore, as long as the small shops have something, no one will go to the supply and marketing cooperatives or state-owned stores to buy it.
However, there are not many residents in Houhaizi, and no one has opened a small shop here yet.
But because of the things that happened in the past 20 years, many people don’t agree with these self-employed people when they talk about them, thinking that only people with no ability will do this, and who doesn’t go to work if they have ability.
Some people even whispered in private that although these self-employed people can support their families now, if it is the same as in previous years, it will affect the family and the younger generations. At that time.
In Han Ma's words, no one knows what will happen in the future. If the Southern Special Zone is fine, these self-employed people will not be in trouble either. At least the birth of these self-employed businesses has reduced the pressure on their street offices a lot.
However, there are still many people who are not doing things properly among these unemployed young people and those who have returned to the city.
The bold ones among them began to sneak into the house and pick the locks, act as "Buddha Lords", and the timid ones stole chickens and dogs.
Many were arrested and sent to the suburbs to dig sand, but not many of them turned over a new leaf after being released.
Those who refused to change after repeated admonitions made the street offices and police stations hate them to death.
In order to prevent these people from committing crimes again and becoming a hidden danger that affects the performance of units and individuals.
The street office has to send people to accompany them to study every night, and their lips are almost worn out.
The police station would send people to their homes from time to time, and their legs became thinner.
When everyone chatted until the time was almost up, Han's mother took Han's elder sister and Qi's younger sister to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and Han Li stayed in the yard to watch Xiao Liang.
After this afternoon's contact, Han Li no longer cried when he hugged Xiao Liang.
Han Li hugged his son and gently pinched his cheeks, watching the little guy waving his arms and blowing bubbles and then laughed loudly.
