Chapter 132: ten years

"Did the neighbor come back?" Zhang Chengbei asked casually when he returned home.

"Try it. The salted egg yolk baked char siu made by Xiao Qin next door is delicious. Do you think we should buy an oven? I heard from Xiao Qin that she made it in an oven, and she can cook a lot in the oven." Delicious..." Huang Xinying rambled, she was very interested in the oven next door.

"Oven? That thing, forget it... Those of them who are staying on the boat, haven't had enough toasted bread? It's not delicious, it doesn't suit our appetite, and I would rather eat steamed buns and pickled vegetables." After leaving the oven, everyone does not like to eat the baked bread. They would rather eat some steamed buns and pickles than bread.

It's okay to eat once or twice, but it's unbearable to eat every day.

Huang Xinying said: "That's because your craftsmanship is not good. Xiao Qin said that he will bake some croissants in a few days for others to try."

"Croissant? Horn? This little Qin went to college for a few years, and brought some weird things."

Zhang Chengbei looked at the baked barbecued pork with salted egg yolk on the table. Not to mention, it looked very attractive, and the smell was strong and salty. He couldn't help but pinch a piece with his hands and put it in his mouth. It's okay if you don't taste it. After tasting it, I found out that the taste is really amazing!

"The house next door is really back." Zhang Chengbei sighed inwardly.

Regarding the return of the old Lu family next door, Zhang Chengbei felt mixed feelings of sadness and joy, feeling happy and melancholy at the same time, his psychology at the moment was very complicated, even he couldn't describe it himself.

Lu Yan's family can be regarded as their neighbors who have lived with them for the longest time. If they say that they have no feelings, then it is not true. The family has returned, which means that the surrounding yard has become lively. Zhang Chengbei is really inexplicably happy.

But he was also very worried in his heart, Zhang Chengbei had a heart attack when he thought of the twin girls in the house next door.

Imagine two white, tender and cute little girls calling him every day: "Uncle Zhang! Uncle Zhang!!"

That heart ached faintly again, why do they both have daughters? ! ! !

No matter how complicated Zhang Chengbei's emotions were, he could only accept the fact that the couple next door came back.

The yard of the Lu family was cleaned up quickly. Lu Yan and Qin Rou newly made a swing and a beautiful thatched shed, and put up a simple flower stand. She trimmed the passion fruit vines, refurbished the land on the ground, sowed the seeds, and it took a few days. , the yard becomes very different.

Qin Rou brought the sweet bean paste sisters to raise seedlings. They also raised chickens and rabbits in the yard. They built beautiful chicken coops and rabbit nests on the outermost periphery, and surrounded them with beautiful wooden fences.

Back on the island's double-storey family room with a courtyard, the sweet bean paste sisters have more fun to do.

Mom wants to plant flowers and plants in the yard, and they can also happily play with mud at home.

Qin Rou: "..."

Her daughter likes to play with mud, and there is nothing to stop her. Qin Rou took her daughter to play with mud, kneading the mud to make little clay figurines.

"Mom, look!" Doudou hugged a lump of black mud, and fell to the ground with a "slap", splashing on her cute little white shoes was also full of mud.

Rongrong was not like this, the child was born to mess around when playing, and wiped the mud on her face and body with one hand.

In the end, the fair and tender little face turned into a dark little face.

"Your mother, I really don't want to do your laundry."

Wearing a beautiful little skirt and playing mud, is it still my little girl who loves beauty

Qin Rou squeezed the little faces of her two daughters. Although she felt angry and funny, she also comforted herself in her heart. This was a sign of her children being close to nature. She herself also liked to play with weird things when she was young, such as buying mulberry leaves to raise Silkworm, catch snails with other children to compete on rainy days whose snail runs faster...

It's also really strange, when she was a child, she was not afraid of many bugs, but when she grew up, she became afraid.

Childhood is silly and bold!

Qin Rou took the two of them to wash off the mud under the faucet.

"Mom, I want to wash Xiangxiang!"

"Wait until you've had enough fun." It's useless to wash and get dirty now.

"Xiao Qin, your Doudou and Rong Rong have grown so big." Zhang Chengbei wandered to the gate of the Lu family's yard, and he watched from the window sill the two little girls next door playing with mud for a long time, these two little guys, look It looks cute and cute, and it seems to be like two little jumps.

The two sisters look exactly the same, and their facial features are very similar to their mother. They wear small beige straw hats with bow ribbons hanging from the brims, and they wear light blue skirts with many beautiful white laces on them. At this time, several black paw prints were already printed on the clothes.

When the two little guys pouted their buttocks and played in the mud just now, they were cute and cute.

Qin Rou stood beside the two girls in a blue denim suspender skirt. She also wore a sun hat on her head, her long hair was tied in the hat, and a strand of long hair hanging from her temples outlined a pretty and delicate face.

One big and two young stood together, saying they were mother and daughter, more like a sister with two cute little sisters.

The family next door surnamed Lu is really lucky. Zhang Chengbei thought that ten years ago, my old Zhang was the one who mistook him and didn't see that Chief of Staff Lu and his wife were hiding their secrets. That's why they didn't take precautions in advance.

"This is Uncle Zhang next door. Doudou Rongrong greets Uncle Zhang."

The Sweet Dourong sisters obediently shouted, "Hello, Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Chengbei saw two short and sturdy little guys holding down the hats on their heads, raising their heads to reveal a baby's fat and tender face, their eyes were dark and dark, and their voices were clear and lively, like the wind blowing a bell. The voice, with a bit of sweet watermelon fragrance that dispels the summer heat.

Zhang Chengbei: "..."

He tried to look away to look at the mud pit on the ground, thinking that I am not egg fruit, I am not sour.

"The voices of these two girls are very nice, like you, Xiao Qin, can you sing?" Zhang Chengbei tried hard to find his own voice, trying to imagine the shortcomings of the neighbor's house. I have never seen such an ugly thing in all my travels.

This family should be like this, right

"Yes!" The Sweet Dourong sisters happily replied.

When Zhang Chengbei saw the proud and confident eyes of these two, he immediately became excited, thinking that your two brothers were so confident back then.

"Sing it to uncle!"

The Sweet Dourong sisters sang a song "Jasmine Flower" for him, and the immature child's voice sang this sweet jasmine flower just right.

"Uncle Uncle, do you want to listen to other songs?"

Like their brothers, the Sweet Dourong sisters also like to show off their singing voice in front of outsiders.

Zhang Chengbei kept a silent face: "..."

No, uncle doesn't want to hear it.

"Doudou can sing many songs!"

"Rongrong can also sing a lot of songs!!"

After listening to it, Zhang Chengbei tried his best to force a smile, and said very awkwardly: "Xiao Qin, your two daughters have really inherited their mother's good voice, and they will be able to enter the art school and sing on the big stage in the future!"

Not to mention anything else, the two little girls sing very well.

He wanted to steal one home.

The heart that wanted to have a daughter in the past came back. Fortunately, now that family planning is in place, he can't have one even if he wants to. He can only guard his own three eldest sons.

Qin Rou asked with a smile: "Do Doudou and Rong Rong want to sing on stage?"

"Rongrong just wants to sing for her mother."

"Doudou just wants to sing for mom too!"

In terms of sweet talk skills, neither of the two older brothers can compare to the pair of sweet bean paste sisters.

Although they are two air-tight padded jackets in action, they are definitely two heart-warming padded jackets in words.

Most of the time, they utter sweet words to their mothers. If they are two little spider spirits, they like to use sweet words to trap their mothers.

Zhang Chengbei: "..."

Just want to sing for mom

It seems that in my daughter's heart, your father's status is not high, which makes me Lao Zhang's mentality balanced.

How much you like mom, don't like dad! !

Tiaotiao of the old Liu's family doesn't like her father either, but prefers her mother and him, Uncle Zhang.

As an uncle who is deeply loved by Tiaotiao, Zhang Chengbei can be regarded as half a godfather. With such a goddaughter, Zhang Chengbei is both gratified and sad, because when Tiaotiao is mixed with his son Dundun, he feels that he is It's more like having an extra godson.

—Four sons!

Zhang Chengbei said with a smile: "Sing it only for mother, not for father? Will your father feel sad when he hears it?"

"-what are you guys saying?"

As soon as Zhang Chengbei turned his head, he saw Lu Yan standing at the gate of his own courtyard. He was wearing a new snow-white military uniform, which was too white and reflected light. , thumping, thumping, running towards Dad.

"dad!!"

"Hold high!"

Lu Yan held two good daughters in each hand, and there was an old Wang standing behind him, that is, Wang Yuanzheng. When Wang Yuanzheng saw his two daughters, he immediately smiled: "Lu Yan, your two daughters have grown up. Quite a few."

"Call Uncle Wang."

"Hello, Uncle Wang!"

"Old Zhang, you are also at the old Lu's house." Wang Yuanzheng was cheerful. He wore glasses and smiled very politely.

Zhang Chengbei: "..."

Zhang Chengbei didn't expect to see two class enemies at once.

Wang Yuanzheng has only one daughter, Wang Niannian, who is now seven or eight years old.

Because only one eldest daughter was born, Wang Yuanzheng's family and Xue Xiaohui's family were urging them to have a second child and want a younger brother, but Wang Yuanzheng insisted on saying that he could not bear the pressure.

Niannian's grandma and grandma both dislike him as his daughter, Niannian, which makes Wang Yuanzheng, who loves his daughter, feel very uncomfortable. He is also afraid that Wang Niannian will be wronged after giving birth to a younger brother. , family planning, only one only daughter.

There is only one only daughter in the family, and there are a lot of gossips around. Wang Yuanzheng doesn't take it seriously. Old Comrade Wang is very open-minded. He lives by himself, not by others. He has a wife and a daughter. Shu Tan, why don't you care what other people say

"Joke? What's there to laugh at me? I'll just give birth to a daughter."

"So what if you have another one? Like them? In order to have a son, have one, two...three daughters? Every time you have one, you are worried? If you really want to have a son, then throw your own daughter aside. ?”

Comrade Lao Wang thought about all kinds of things before getting married, and now when he has a child, he has also thought about all the possibilities. He thinks it is completely meaningless to have a boy, and he might as well just Raising her precious daughter Nian Nian, the family is harmonious and beautiful.

As for others? fuck it.

"That's really a magic barrier!"

Firstly, Zhang Chengbei felt that this person had a strange idea, and secondly, he wondered whether this old Wang was connoting himself.

The failure of trying to give birth to a son or something, in his case it was the failure of trying to give birth to a daughter, but he was still suffering and couldn't tell, smiling in front of others and proudly saying that he had given birth to three big fat boys.

Zhang Chengbei sighed quietly, but he had to say that what Wang Yuanzheng said was right. If he really gave birth to a daughter in the future, he would be afraid that the bowl of water would be uneven, and it would not do to favor his daughter and treat his son badly.

His family now has three sons, apart from having no daughter, they are living a peaceful and beautiful life.

However, occasionally I still feel sore eyes.

Before Lu Yan's house next door came back, Zhang Chengbei was very jealous of Wang Yuanzheng.

The old Wang's husband and wife both have jobs, and they only have one beloved daughter, not to mention how comfortable and happy, Wang Niannian is quiet and well-behaved and listens to her parents. She is simply an ideal daughter for the public.

After so many years, the hair on the top of Lao Wang's head has not disappeared, and his Lao Zhang already needs to wear a hat to cover up his baldness, and his sons are worried about his hair loss.

"Old Wang, how about your family's Niannian?"

"I'm learning dance in the Children's Palace. I'll stay at the old Lu's house for a while and go back with my daughter by the way."

Several people were talking, Lu Weizhou, Lu Weize, and Wang Niannian walked over. The Lu Weizhou brothers also went to the Lucheng Children's Palace today. Wang Niannian was learning dance there, so they came back together.

Wang Niannian is much shorter than the two brothers of the Lu family, but her figure is slender and light, and her pair of watery almond eyes are as charming as her mother Xue Xiaohui. She is wearing a snow-white and slim dance dress, and a beautiful lotus root pink skirt on the waist He painted a little red on his forehead, and when he saw his father, he trot behind Wang Yuanzheng.

She called out a little shyly.

"Uncle Lu, Aunt Qin, Uncle Zhang..."

When the Tiandourong sisters saw her, they began to talk sweetly: "Sister Nian Nian is so beautiful."

"Doudou and Rongrong are both beautiful."

"Sister Nian Nian's dress is beautiful!"

"This is a dress for learning to dance."

Zhang Chengbei smiled and looked at Lu Yan: "In the future, your Doudou Rongrong will also be sent to the Children's Palace to learn singing and dancing?"

"We'll see what they want to learn at that time." Lu Yan put down the two daughters, and Tiandou Rong and the sisters went to talk to their older brothers and sisters. He hooked Wang Yuanzheng's shoulders: "Communicate more in the future."

"I never thought that I would have two daughters before. Lao Wang, your daughter is already so old. Let's get together and talk to me about how to raise a daughter."

"No problem!" Wang Yuanzheng agreed straight away. He didn't want to talk about anything else, but he liked to talk about his wife and daughter.

Zhang Chengbei: "..."

Although he wanted to communicate, but he didn't have a daughter.

Zhang Chengbei slandered in his heart: The deer (Lu) in front of him likes to pretend to be in front of him, so he must have deliberately said these things in front of him to show that he has a daughter.

His gaze stayed on Lu Yan, thinking how hateful it is, especially you old Lu, a Ludong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who originally thought you were a simple, honest and reliable person, but he didn't expect this kid to be very bad, a scourge for ten years.

"The four brothers and sisters of your family have returned to our family courtyard, and there will be more playmates in the future."

"Niannian, Tiaodundun and the others can all play with my sister."

Zhang Chengbei looked at the two sweet bean curds and thought: Play more with you sister Tiaotiao.

"It just so happens that the children of your family are here, how about I take some photos for you? I bought the latest imported camera, and other photographers may not be as good as me..."

It's not that Zhang Chengbei doesn't have something to show off. In the past few years, he has practiced photography skills hard, bought a lot of books on light and shadow, learned from professional photographers, and even bought imported cameras. Both the technology and the equipment are in place. Taking advantage of the large number of people at the moment, if you don't show off at this time, when will you show it off

Don't the couple from the Lu family next door also like to take pictures? Aren't the photos plastered all over the wall? Isn't it one photo album after another

Their old Zhang family is even better at taking pictures! !

"Take a photo? Okay! Let's take a photo together!"

As soon as Zhang Chengbei's proposal came out, everyone responded positively, so the members of the Zhang family, the Lu family, the Liu family and the Wang family all came, standing in a few rows, Zhang Chengbei took out his Imported cameras and took several group photos of them.

but…

After the filming was over, Zhang Chengbei found out: ... What about me

Should there be an extra Zhang Chengbei in the picture

"We still have to take pictures of our family's old Zhang. He is good-looking, so we can't let other people take pictures. Old Zhang, watch the camera carefully, don't ruin people!" Teacher Huang directed with a smile.

Their old Zhang showed off his imported camera, and Mr. Huang also wanted to show off his husband's good photography skills.

— must be filmed by him!

"Our old Zhang took a lot of good-looking photos of me before, and the washed ones are even better than those taken by other photo studios. Xiao Qin, if you have the time, come and take a look at my house."

"Okay, looking at your old Zhang's posture, he must have practiced a good technique."

"We have to let him come and take pictures with his own hands!"

Zhang Chengbei: "..."

He stared at his teacher Huang, thinking that he didn't want this daughter-in-law anymore! ! ! Who is this? ! Is there anyone who sells her husband like this? Shouldn't you take the initiative to think that your husband should also go in and take a photo

Zhang Chengbei worked hard to take pictures of this group of people. Although he was full of complaints, he didn't take pictures indiscriminately.

He has to show off his skills and must take good photos! !

"Xiao Qin, have we known each other for almost ten years?"

"Yeah, almost ten years."

Ten years ago, Qin Rou followed Lu Yan to Qiongzhou Island. In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

The tenth wedding anniversary of the two of them is also these few days.

Although Qin Rou didn't take the initiative to mention this matter on the surface, she still cared about it in her heart. After all, it was a special day. Ten years ago, it was such an inexplicable day. She and Lu Yan met for the second time. They got married in a flash up.

Recalling that day, Qin Rou thought that their marriage was casual enough, but now it's the tenth wedding anniversary, shouldn't it be so casual.

After all, this is the tenth anniversary.

The day before the wedding anniversary, Lu Yan returned home with a big box in his arms. Although he didn't take the initiative to say anything, Qin Rou knew intuitively that it must be a gift for her.

She was curious what this man Lu Yan would give her as a gift for her tenth anniversary.

Qin Rou stood by the side of the box and hesitated. It was a huge cardboard box, like the kind for home appliances, and she didn't know what was inside.

"Curious?" Lu Yan smiled and raised her eyebrows to look at her daughter-in-law.

Qin Rou nodded. She was indeed very curious, but she had a sense of ritual, knowing that such a gift had to be opened on the wedding anniversary to be meaningful.

Chief of Staff Lu really doesn't know how to do things. The gift given tomorrow should be taken back tomorrow.

"Kiss." Lu Yan pointed to her cheek, Qin Rou leaned over, kissed his face on tiptoe, and said with a smile, "Tell me after you kiss?"

Lu Yan blinked her eyes, raised her chin, and motioned, "Tear it down yourself."

Qin Rou: "???"

Will it be demolished today? Isn't it the gift that should be given tomorrow

Qin Rou was suspicious: "Today? Did you remember the wrong date? Is this a gift for me?"

How can anyone give a gift a day in advance.

"You'll know if you take it apart."

"Then I really broke it?"

"dismantle."

Said that Qin Rou really went to get a knife to open the gift, she was too curious what gift Lu Yan would give her.

Under Lu Yan's doting smile, Qin Rou opened the huge cardboard box, and then, she found that it contained nothing else...

—It turned out to be a snow-white wedding dress! ! ! !

It was a pure white and complicated floor-sweeping wedding dress with a very large skirt, layers of delicate and gorgeous patterns, and sparkling sequins shining countless brilliance in the sun.

Qin Rou was stunned, Lu Yan hugged her face with a smile and said: "Tomorrow we will wear this and go to the beach to take pictures."

"I entrusted the ocean-going crew to buy it from abroad, do you like it?"

Like it! ! ! ! !

Is this still an answer

Qin Rou threw herself into the arms of the man in front of her excitedly. The huge force almost knocked Lu Yan down. Lu Yan firmly hugged the daughter-in-law in front of her, overflowing her chest with countless joys.

"Lu Yan, I love you so much!" It was rare for Qin Rou to express her love so straightforwardly.

"me too."

Lu Yan smiled and whispered in her ear, "Do you want to try it?"

"Change it tomorrow." Qin Rou smiled shyly and blushed. She went back to the room, took out the things she had prepared a long time ago, and shyly pushed them in front of Lu Yan.

"I also prepared a gift for you, and I wanted to give it to you tomorrow."

"Then give it to me tomorrow."

"Just... just today." Qin Rou originally wanted to wait until tomorrow, but now she felt that she was in the right mood. She couldn't wait until tomorrow, and she wanted to tell Lu Yan those words now.

Lu Yan kissed the back of her hand and said with a smile, "Okay, let Brother Lu see what present my wife has prepared."

Lu Yan opened the gift box in her hand, and saw a tiny light flashing in front of her eyes, and in the next second, she saw the snow-white pearl in the yellow flannel.

——This is a natural pearl from the deep sea. No flaws can be found on the surface of the pearl, so it can be said to be flawless.

"I got this by accident when I went out to sea with a fishing boat. I opened a pearl oyster. I didn't expect that there would be a pearl hidden in it, let alone that this pearl was so flawless."

Qin Rou looked at the man with a smile in her eyes, and continued:

"Lu Yan, you are like this pearl. You are the rare thing in my life. I am so happy to meet you ten years ago. Marrying you is the most correct thing I have ever done in my life."

The next day, Qin Rou put on the snow-white wedding dress, the snow-white gloves, and the long skirt that dragged the floor. She turned her head to look at the man beside her, and the pearls under her earlobe shone brightly.

The man beside him took off his usual white military uniform and put on a light gray suit. It was different from the capable and serious military uniform, and it was a little more gentle.

Qin Rou held his arm, looked up at his handsome profile, and felt her thumping heart was about to jump out of her body.

Lu Yan bowed his head and kissed the corner of her mouth.

"Wow!!!!!!"

"Mom is so beautiful!!!"

The four little guys in the family gathered around and made amazing noises. Looking at today's mother, the Tiandourong sisters felt that the mother in the wedding dress was so beautiful.

"Mom is the most beautiful mother in the world!!"

Ten years ago, they didn't even hold a wedding. Ten years later, they could only take their four cubs to the beach to take wedding photos.

It also comes with an exclusive photographer Zhang Chengbei.

When Zhang Chengbei saw the well-dressed couple in the house next door early in the morning, his face was about to crack.

This bastard, Lu Yan, had said well beforehand that he was asking him to take a few photos of the young couple, but Zhang Chengbei agreed without noticing it for a while.

Now, what kind of wedding photos did he come to take for the couple at the beach? ! ! ! !

His mother's 10th anniversary wedding photo.

I haven't even photographed it! ! ! !

Zhang Chengbei feels worse now than eating ten sour lemons. He really wants to go back and slap himself. Who told you to naively agree to this old dog Lu, and now he is on a thief boat to take pictures for others and act as a photographer.

The weather is beautiful today, the sun is perfect, light blue sky, white clouds, and the dark blue sea behind them, they are stepping on fine sand, a handsome man is holding the hand of the woman beside him, and several children are holding up That gorgeous snow-white skirt.

Lu Yan hugged the woman in front of him, and said softly, "You are beautiful today."

Qin Rou blinked: "You are handsome too!"

Zhang Chengbei looked at the scene in the camera, his face was as green as the sapphire bitter melon he planted in his yard.

Doudou and Rongrong excitedly said, "Uncle Zhang, you need to take better pictures of your mother!!!"

"Uncle Zhang!! I want to shoot Mom and Dad!!"

"Brother, give Huahua to Mom."

"Dad, you want to kiss Mom!"

Zhang Chengbei: "..."

Their figures walked through the coconut groves on the beach, stepped on the coastal reefs, took pictures of the blue sky and white clouds, and even more gorgeous sunsets.

Under the sunset, a woman in a snow-white wedding dress is leaning on the man next to her. They look at the waves rolling in the distance together, and their backs overlapping each other closely.

Under this picture, the children's childlike voices come and go.

Zhang Chengbei said numbly: "You all come to take a family portrait at the end."

At the end of the day, Zhang Chengbei's face was green and his heart was sour, but he still had to seriously take pictures of the couple in front of him. If the results were not good, wouldn't he lose face as a man

I have known you couple for ten years, but not to take wedding photos for you couple! ! ! !

If time can go back, he would like to go back ten years ago.

Outrageous? Just ten years ago, why did he take the initiative to talk to Lu Yan
