Rebirth of Bloody Romance

After unloading the truck, Zhong Yuemin opened a box and took out a number of electronic watches, handing them to the people Li Kuiyong had called to help. They took the watches one by one, with delighted expressions on their faces. Zhong Yuemin felt relieved as he watched them leave with satisfaction.

Zheng Tong saw that Zhong Yuemin didn't see his post after sending it to everyone, so he jumped out anxiously. "Yuemin, what's wrong with you? Where's my watch?"

Zhong Yuemin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he laughed. "How could I forget you? This is mechanical."

Zheng Tong took the watch, looked at it carefully, and showed a satisfied smile on his face: "This is pretty good, I like this kind of mechanical watch. You finally know how to be filial to your uncle."

"piss off!"

Zhong Yuemin handed another piece to Li Kuiyong, who took it with a smile. "Yuemin, are we going to sell those electronic watches next year?"

Zhong Yuemin nodded. "Yes, let's talk about this after the Chinese New Year. You've been busy for a year, go back and have a good Chinese New Year!"

Ning Wei said at this time, "Captain, you all go back to celebrate the New Year. I'll watch over you here."

Ning Wei saw Zhong Yuemin looking at him and continued, "Captain, I'll just go home to see my mother tomorrow."

Zhong Yuemin patted his shoulder. "Ning Wei, you've worked hard."

Zhou Xiaobai called him at this time. "Yuemin, let's go! We have to take these things away."

Zhong Yuemin scratched his head as he looked at the pile of things. "Wife, can we take all of them?" Zhou Xiaobai smiled embarrassedly. She didn't expect there would be so many.

Li Kuiyong said with a smile, "I'll take you there on my donkey!"

"That's great. Let's move a few boxes of red wine up there as well."

When Zheng Tong heard that there was red wine, he couldn't move it away, so he quickly shouted, "Yuemin, don't move all of it! Leave two boxes behind."

"Fuck, if I had known earlier I would have taken it secretly."

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles on the streets and alleys of the capital, covering this ancient yet modern city with a golden coat. At this time, the capital is like a beautiful ink painting, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Li Kuiyong was riding his donkey, passing through the busy streets. His figure looked particularly thin in the afterglow of the setting sun, but his eyes were full of determination. He was riding his donkey while chatting with Zhong Yuemin next to him, and their laughter and conversation floated in the breeze.

Zhong Yuemin rode a 28-inch bicycle. He was tall and looked like a mountain when he sat on the seat. He always had a cynical smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with deep emotions. He talked about what he saw and heard in Hong Kong Island, the prosperity, the hustle and bustle, and the various customs there. Along the way, he talked endlessly about the prosperity and changes of Hong Kong Island, making Li Kuiyong feel as if he was in a world full of vitality and opportunities.

Zhou Xiaobai sat behind the 28-inch bicycle, with her arms around Zhong Yuemin's waist. Her face rested on Zhong Yuemin's broad back, her eyes full of happiness and satisfaction. She liked listening to Zhong Yuemin's stories about distant places, and she also liked feeling the sense of security that this man brought her.

"Yuemin, you said that people over there are so rich. We are working so hard here, when can we live a good life?" Li Kuiyong asked with emotion.

Zhong Yuemin was silent for a moment, then said, "Kui Yong, we have to believe in ourselves. Although our living conditions are not as good as those over there, we have our advantages. We have what they don't have, which is unlimited possibilities."

"What's possible? This is how our life will be." Li Kuiyong sighed.

"Don't say that, Kuiyong. Look at the capital city under the sunset. Hasn't it also gone through countless changes to achieve its current glory? As long as we are willing to work hard and strive for success, one day we will become a part of this city." There was a firm light in Zhong Yuemin's eyes.

"Hey, Yuemin, please stop comforting me. I still think that this is how our life will be." Li Kuiyong said with a wry smile.

"Hey, why are you so pessimistic? You need to have some pursuits!" Zhou Xiaobai interrupted.

"Pursue? What else can I pursue? My biggest wish now is to make some money so that my family can live a good life." There was a hint of helplessness in Li Kuiyong's voice.

"Then why don't you try doing something different? Like learning some new skills, or looking for some new opportunities," Zhou Xiaobai suggested.

"It's easier said than done." Li Kuiyong sighed.

"Kuiyong, don't worry! If you follow me in the future, I will let you see a different world. Collecting waste now is just temporary, and I don't think it will last long."

"That's right, buddy, I'm relying on you from now on." The sun gradually set, but Li Kuiyong's determination to follow Zhong Yuemin to the end burned even more vigorously like a flame.

When he arrived home, there was still no one there. After unloading his things, Li Kuiyong said goodbye and went home.

Zhou Xiaobai picked out the things she bought for her parents, Chen Yijun and Zhou Zhennan, and said to Zhong Yuemin, "Yuemin, let's go to mom's house and bring our daughter back. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve."

"I listen to my wife."

"I hate you." Zhou Xiaobai smiled and punched Zhong Yuemin.

The couple pushed their 28-inch bicycles and headed straight to Zhou Xiaobai's mother's house.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and there is already a festive atmosphere on the streets. Many people have posted Spring Festival couplets and door gods on their doors, and some have even hung colorful lanterns on their gatehouses.

Zhong Yuemin sighed, "Are these people who put up the couplets all owed money to other people?"

Zhou Xiaobai asked in confusion, "Yuemin, why do you say that? Isn't it normal to put up couplets during the New Year?"

"It's normal to post couplets, but it's a little early! Haven't you heard of a saying?"

"What do you mean?"

"That is, after the couplets are posted, the debt collectors can no longer come to collect the debt. Therefore, some people who owe money put up the couplets several days in advance."

"Where did you hear that? How come I don't know about it?"

"Wife, you are a fairy who does not care about the incense of the world, how can you understand the sufferings of the world."

"Zhong Yuemin, if you bully me, I will bite you to death." The two men started fighting as they walked.

As the two of them walked and joked, Zhou Xiaobai saw a couplet and began to read it:

The first couplet is: Say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new year with joy;

The second line is: Welcome the new year with all the best and carry out your ambitions.

Horizontal banner: Good fortune shines upon you.

Zhong Yuemin also joined in the fun and shouted, "Good." It was not known whether he was thinking about the good couplet or just trying to flatter Zhou Xiaobai by saying that she read it well.

"Yuemin, this couplet is quite interesting. It reflects the changes in the lives of ordinary people. In the old year, the whole family can be happy and greet the new year with laughter. This is a bit of satisfaction. This couplet reflects that ordinary people want to live a good life, but the requirements are not high. As long as they are safe and sound and have a little laughter, they are satisfied. As for 'Welcome the new year, everything goes well and grand plans are carried out', that is a kind of expectation. Who doesn't want to live a better life? But this horizontal scroll is a bit vulgar."

"This banner reflects the aesthetic taste of ordinary people. It is simple, down-to-earth and festive."

Zhou Xiaobai said with a smile, "You have a point. Beijingers speak with flavor, and these neighbors speak eloquently, expressing the inner thoughts of ordinary people."

Zhong Yuemin looked at the gloomy street scene and replied thoughtfully, "Old Beijing is like an old man who has seen all the vicissitudes of life. It says nothing but quietly waits for the end of history."

"Hey, Yuemin, I didn't realize you were so sentimental." Zhou Xiaobai hugged his waist, but his hands were a little dishonest.

"I was moved by the scene and thought of a line from a song: 'Softly, I leave, just as softly I came.'"

"Don't feel sore anymore. When did you learn to feel so sore? Ride faster." Zhou Xiaobai said dissatisfiedly.

Zhong Yuemin and Zhou Xiaobai were walking in the cold wind. They had just finished a long journey and were now on their way home. This home was where Zhou Xiaobai lived and it was also the happy place for their daughter Xiao Shihua.

"The New Year is coming soon, and it must be very lively at home." Zhou Xiaobai said softly with a warm smile on his face.

"Yes, our mother must be busy cleaning the room and preparing for the New Year." Zhong Yuemin responded.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Zhou Xiaobai's parents' home is filled with a strong New Year atmosphere. His mother Chen Yijun is busy tidying up the room, sweeping away the dust of the year and welcoming the arrival of the New Year. Zhou Zhennan is sitting with Xiao Shihua, playing with his favorite toys, when he suddenly hears the door open. He looks up and sees Zhong Yuemin and Zhou Xiaobai.

Little Shihua threw away the toy in her hand, ran over quickly with her short legs, and threw herself into Zhou Xiaobai's arms. "Dad, Mom, where have you been?" She stared with round eyes, looking aggrieved.

Zhou Xiaobai smiled and picked up his daughter, kissing her little face, "Baby, we went out to do something and forgot to tell you, I'm sorry."

Zhong Yuemin also came over and touched Xiao Shihua's head. "Yes, little girl, we will definitely tell you first next time. Are you well behaved at home?"

Xiao Shihua nodded. "I'm very good. I even helped grandma clean the room."

Zhou Xiao smiled when she heard her daughter's words. "Little Shihua is so sensible. She is really a good daughter of her mother."

When Chen Yijun saw his daughter and son-in-law coming back, he put down his work and asked them to sit down. "Dad, Mom."

"You guys are back. Did your trip go well this time?"

"Dad, it went smoothly. It went a little smoother than I expected."

Zhou Xiaobai put down the small poem and painting in her hand and opened her luggage. It was a bronze luggage bag, which seemed to carry Zhou Xiaobai's thoughts and concerns about home. She gently took out the things in the bag one by one, with a warm smile on her face.

"Mom and Dad, do the clothes I bought for you look good?" Zhou Xiaobai said as he took out piles of exquisite clothes from his luggage and placed them on the sofa. The clothes were novel in style and bright in color, and it was obvious that they were carefully selected by Zhou Xiaobai.

Zhou Xiaobai's parents looked at the clothes with joy and emotion in their eyes. They knew that their daughter must have spent a lot of time and effort to buy these clothes for them. This thought is more precious than any gift. Their little cotton-padded jacket is finally airtight.

"There are two watches, the men's one is for dad, and this one is for you, mom. We both have the same one." Zhou Xiaobai handed an exquisite men's watch to her father. It was a silver watch with exquisite patterns engraved on the surface, which looked noble and elegant.

Zhou Xiaobai's father gently stroked the watch, his eyes full of emotion. "Xiaobai, thank you, this watch is really beautiful." His voice was a little trembling, obviously he felt his daughter's care and love. His little cotton-padded jacket has grown up.

Zhou Xiaobai took out gifts one by one and gave them to her parents. She carefully selected them, and each one contained her thoughts and blessings. At this warm moment, Zhou Xiaobai felt extremely happy and satisfied. She knew that no matter where she was, she would always care about her family. This care and love was also the motivation and source for her to move forward.

Zhou Xiaobai's mother put on the new clothes her daughter bought and walked to the mirror to look at herself. "This Hong Kong style is really beautiful. Xiaobai, you have a good taste." She said with a smile, her face filled with pride and happiness.

Zhou Xiaobai also smiled, she knew her mother was very happy. This happiness was her greatest wish. She hoped that her efforts and dedication could help her parents live a better life and feel more happiness and warmth.

Zhou Zhennan sighed. "Why buy so many things? It must cost a lot of money, right?"

Zhong Yuemin replied, "Dad, it's not much money, as long as you and mom like it. Aren't my brother and the others back yet?"

"They won't be back until tomorrow. You can come over for dinner the day after tomorrow. Their vacation is short and they can't stay at home for two days."

Xiao Shihua waited and waited, her eyes rolling around, but she never saw her gift. She pouted her lips, looking aggrieved, as if to say, "Why is there no gift for me?"

Zhong Yuemin knew what was going on when he saw his daughter. He walked over, gently picked up Xiao Shihua, and comforted her: "Girl, the things mom bought for you are at home! You will see them when we get home."

He paused, took off a silver watch from his wrist and handed it to Xiao Shihua. "Here, Dad, take this watch first, okay?"

Xiao Shihua opened her eyes wide and looked at the watch on her father's hand in surprise. She carefully took the watch, put it on her wrist, and smiled happily. "Thank you, Dad!" Unfortunately, her wrist was too thin and she couldn't wear it.

However, she had a lot of fun. At this moment, Xiao Shihua's face blossomed with a smile as beautiful as a flower, and all her unhappiness disappeared in an instant.

Zhou Xiaobai and Zhong Yuemin smiled at each other, their eyes full of doting and warmth. They knew that although Xiao Shihua was young, she was an indispensable part of their lives. Zhou Zhennan smiled and said, "This little girl is very smart now."

During the meal, Zhou Xiaobai sat at the dining table, savoring the delicious food carefully prepared by his mother Chen Yijun, while telling his parents what he had seen and heard in Hong Kong Island.

"Mom, Dad, do you know? Hong Kong Island is very prosperous now! There are tall buildings and flashing neon lights."

Zhou Zhennan and Chen Yijun listened to their daughter's description and couldn't help but sigh: "It's amazing! It seems that the pace of reform and opening up in our country is correct. We must catch up and not be left behind by this era."

After dinner, Zhong Yuemin and his family of three packed up and prepared to go home. When Xiao Shihua heard that she was going home, she immediately jumped up excitedly. She still remembered the gift she had been thinking about! Chen Yijun looked at Xiao Shihua's excitement and said with a smile: "You little heartless girl, are you so happy to leave grandma?"

When Xiao Shihua heard this, she instantly became like a deflated balloon, and her originally excited expression suddenly became a little lost. She lowered her head and said nothing, twisting her hands together, her face full of entanglement. Chen Yijun looked at Xiao Shihua's appearance and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Grandma, can I come back in two days?" Xiao Shihua asked in a low voice, with a hint of caution and pleading in her tone.

Chen Yijun smiled and said, "That's good enough. Grandma's love for you is not in vain. Okay, you guys should go back quickly."

After arriving home, Xiao Shihua just got off the bicycle and shouted, "Mom, where is my gift?"

Zhong Shanyue came out of the house after hearing the noise. "Xiao Shihua, come here and let grandpa hug you."

"Grandpa, I miss you so much!" Zhong Yuemin shook his head behind him. This little girl knows so much. When he gets old, she will coax him into a daze and give him all the money for his coffin.

Zhou Xiaobai took Xiao Shihua to look for gifts. Zhong Shanyue looked at Zhong Yuemin with satisfaction. "I heard that you got all my old friends drunk. Not bad. You didn't embarrass me."

Zhong Yuemin smiled bitterly. "Dad, I drank too much!"

"It's not shameful to drink with them and fall down after drinking..."

Zhou Xiaobai came over and interrupted the conversation. "Dad, this is the clothes and watch that Yuemin and I bought for you. Try them on."

"Why spend that money? What a waste?" He said this, but his hand took it swiftly.

Zhong Shanyue was busy running around during the New Year, and he knew what was good. Seeing that the clothes of his son's family and himself were worth a lot of money, it seemed that his son was secretly doing business outside. "Yuemin, this thing costs a lot of money, right? Are you doing any business outside?"

Zhong Yuemin smiled. "Dad, does collecting waste count? I've been doing this for more than half a year."

"Alas! If you do business, you won't be able to enter the official career!"

"Dad, I'm not interested in this. Let Xiaobai come in, and I'll assist her from behind."

"You just have no ambition. Let's not talk about this anymore. Have you eaten yet?"

"Grandpa, we've had dinner. Do the clothes I'm wearing look good?"

"It's beautiful. Xiao Shihua is like a little princess."

Then he asked Zhong Yuemin if he liked it, and laughed at the little girl. "Dad, have you bought the couplets for our family?"

"Not yet. I've been too busy these past few days and haven't had time to buy any."

"Then I'll go buy it tomorrow."
