"Lao Lu, I owe you the money first. Please help me settle the bill for these things, and then lend me a hundred more..."
Zhou Zhiyuan put his watch in his pocket and strode out.
He only had twenty yuan in total, and he left most of it to his wife.
Knowing that he came to Beijing to partner with Lu Yuandong, he was not worried about money at all. Lu Yuandong's father was in the construction business. He was a real son-in-law who was not short of money.
"I said, Lao Zhou, you already have a wife, why are you becoming more shameless? Why should I pay for the things you buy?"
Lu Yuandong said disgusting words, but his hands honestly took out his wallet.
The two of them bought some fruits and snacks at the mall, spending a total of twenty yuan.
"I will pay you back after your salary and bonus are paid next month."
"You have to accompany me to Zhou's house."
Zhou Zhiyuan was a little panicked.
Although there are his relatives in the Zhou family, he feels that he does not belong here, and he resists contact with them from the bottom of his heart.
If Yao Jingping hadn't asked him to walk around Zhou's house before leaving, he really wouldn't have wanted to come.
"No, why are you like this? That's your parents' home and you don't dare to go back? Is there anything you, King of Hell, don't dare to do? I'm wondering, what are you afraid of?"
Lu Yuandong looked in disbelief. In his impression, there was nothing Zhou Zhiyuan didn't dare to do.
"Go if you are told. Where did you get all this nonsense?"
He was fearless when charging into battle, and there was nothing scary about blood and sweat, but when he thought of sitting with a group of unfamiliar people, he felt nervous for no reason.
With Lu Yuandong by his side, he could feel more at ease.
Worried about disturbing Zhou Guangyi and his wife, he made a phone call in advance.
This made Zhou Guangyi and Tian Xinping extremely excited. It happened that Zhou Zhi had a day off today and Saturday. Tian Xinping was so happy that she called the arsenal and asked Zhou Zhi to go home.
Then he called the old man Zhou Youtian and learned that his eldest grandson was back. Zhou Youtian, who had originally planned to play chess with his old friends, immediately changed his mind, took a taxi and rushed home.
Since the death of his wife, Zhou Youtian has lived alone in a small single-family courtyard not far from Zhou Guangyi. No matter how Zhou Guangyi and his wife invited him to come back to live, he refused.
Everyone has his own way of life, and he cannot disturb them.
When he came, he specially brought a bag of candies and snacks. It was his eldest grandson he had never met, and because the eldest grandson was lost, his wife died in a panic.
As soon as Zhou Youtian walked in, he looked around with his reading glasses wide open.
"Where is the eldest grandson? Where is the eldest grandson... Guangyi, you should go and pick up the eldest grandson home. Xinping, have you bought groceries? We will eat at home tonight and cook more dishes! Roast duck from Quanjude Have you bought it? Don’t forget to bring some cookies and prepare two bottles of wine. I want to drink two cups with my eldest grandson..."
Seeing the old man's excitement, Zhou Guangyi hurriedly helped his father sit down on the sofa.
"Zhiyuan will be here in a moment. Xinping and aunt are preparing meals in the kitchen. I bought a roast duck and prepared two bottles of Wuliangye. Zhou Zhi will be back soon. Please sit down and rest for a while..."
Zhou Guangyi had never seen his father so happy. When he and Xinping got married, his father was not so excited either.
Zhou Youtian couldn't sit still at all, so he stood at the door of the yard with a cane and kept looking around.
If he hadn't been physically unfit to travel long distances, he would have gone to Lianhua County to see his eldest grandson long ago!
Fortunately, the child who was abducted did not grow crooked. He has been trained in the army for many years and has now grown into a veritable soldier king. He is worthy of being a descendant of the Zhou family!
It would be better if Zhigao could come back...
"Hello grandpa..."
Seeing two tall and tall soldiers in military uniforms walking this way with gifts in their hands, Zhou Youtian moved forward excitedly.
He grabbed Zhou Zhiyuan's hand.
No need to ask, this dark-faced man who looks almost exactly like Zhou Guangyi when he was young must be his eldest grandson Zhiyuan.
The old man stretched out his hand and gently touched Zhou Zhiyuan's cheek. His lips could not help but tremble, and tears flowed down his cheek.
Zhou Guangyi's men look very much like his wife. They all have double eyelids, big eyes and a high nose bridge. It's a pity that his wife passed away too early...
"Hello grandpa..."
The greetings from the two children were heard in his ears, and Zhou Youtian came back to his senses. He noticed that there was a tall man standing next to Zhou Zhiyuan. He nodded and said hello, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and pulled He followed Zhou Zhiyuan and walked into the house.
Lu Yuandong, who was following behind him, felt that he was unnecessary. The Zhou family's eyes were red with anticipation for their eldest grandson. Was he still worried that he would not be able to adapt to his return?
He curled his lips and walked in anyway.
"Zhi Yuandong is here... Come and sit in the room. First, sit down and chat with grandpa and drink tea. Your mother and aunt are cooking in the kitchen. Zhou Zhi will be back soon. Let's have a reunion dinner together... "
Zhou Guangyi smiled broadly and greeted Zhou Zhiyuan and Lu Yuandong enthusiastically.
"When I was in Quancheng, Yuandong followed me. It's a pity that Yuandong was not familiar with Zhiyuan at that time... Otherwise, we would have found Zhiyuan long ago..."
"It's not too late, it's not too late... What this kid Zhiyuan has gone through is all a training for him. I fell in love with this kid at first sight. Zhiyuan, how long have you been in Beijing this time? , You should spend more time with grandpa..."
"Well, I will come to accompany grandpa when I have time..."
Zhou Zhiyuan sat awkwardly next to Zhou Youtian, letting his big hands be tightly grasped by his grandfather.
Since coming to Zhou's house, Zhou Youtian has been holding his eldest grandson's hand tightly, refusing to let go of anything he said.
That posture seemed like he would disappear as soon as he let go.
The Zhou family is a single-family compound located in the family courtyard of the military region. It has three floors. Zhou Guangyi served as a soldier for many years and served as the commander of the Beijing Military Region for ten years before retiring. This three-story building was allocated to him when he was transferred to Beijing. .
The house is paved with white tiles, the walls are painted white, and the furniture is all solid wood. The house is clean and neat.
Zhou Zhiyuan had never lived in such a spacious, bright and clean house since he was a child. He was very restrained and his mind was blank. He didn't know what to say to his elders.
Fortunately, Lu Yuandong is here.
"I heard Zhiyuan said that grandpa is a doctor? It's true that one family does not belong to the same family. Zhiyuan's wife is also a doctor. Zhiyuan said that his wife is preparing to take the college entrance examination in the winter this year and is thinking of entering the Beijing Medical College for further study. …”
Don't look at Zhou Zhiyuan sitting in Zhou's house like a gourd. When people ask him a question, he will say it. When he introduced his little wife at the army guest house in the morning, this guy's eyes were shining and he was talking. endlessly...
