Of course, this is just a joke. Chinese folk customs have been reserved since ancient times. Most of these similar words can only be regarded as a kind of well-intentioned joke, and they cannot be taken seriously.Both Zhou Yi and the elegant man he saw knew this very well, so they just smiled at the gazes around them.

Otherwise, you can try it with a bloody northeast man, and don't tell you what to look at.

This time was just before the meal time, and Quanjude's reputation made foodies all over the world flock here, so naturally, Zhouyi and the others encountered an embarrassing problem, that is, there were no seats.

The waiter told Zhou Yi with an apologetic face, the customers waiting in front of you are all lined up outside, so I'm sorry, please come again at another time.

Such words naturally made the little Zhou Yu, who was full of anticipation, purse his mouth.And Qin also showed a dissatisfied look at the right time.In this regard, Zhou Yi, who is the most husband and father, naturally cannot disappoint them, so he can only prepare to sacrifice money to clear the way, and see if he can make room for some kind-hearted people.

But at this time, the middle-aged man who had noticed Zhou Yi as soon as he came in opened his mouth at this time.

"Sir, why don't you sit at the same table with us. Anyway, there is a lot of space here, and we are not satisfied with it. And it should be more lively, isn't it also the custom of Chinese people to eat?"

"This is not good. This gentleman, we don't seem to know each other, so it's not good to trouble you like this."

Zhou Yi was polite and planned to reject the proposal.But the middle-aged man said to him with a smile again.

"It's okay, it's okay. Your son is very cute, and I like it very much. So I don't mind sitting with such a handsome little gentleman. Besides, Alexia can't speak Chinese yet. For the customs of China , she is not very used to it. With your wife here, I think she can relax a little bit. So, can you give me a noodle, please?"

"Of course." Shrugging his shoulders, Zhou Yi gave up his previous plan and took the child to sit next to the man. "It's a great honor. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My surname is Zhou, Zhou Yi."

"What a coincidence, my surname is also Zhou. Smith Zhou. According to the Chinese saying, we were one family 500 years ago."

With a slight smile, an inexplicable expression began to flow in the eyes of the middle-aged man.For him, the meaning of this sentence is quite meaningful.

Chapter 837 Be aggressive and retreat every step of the way

Facing the words of this guy who is still a stranger to get closer to each other, Zhou Yi just smiled calmly.

"Mr. Zhou was just joking. The surname Zhou is a common surname in China. There are millions of people with the surname Zhou. If these people were all one family 500 years ago, how big would this family be?"

"I'm just talking." Shrugging his shoulders, Smith Zhou showed a self-deprecating look. "I was born abroad, and I have spent decades abroad. This time I came back to China just to see what my hometown was like described by my ancestors. I just didn't expect that people like me seem to be unable to I'm a Chinese. I don't even know how to greet the most Chinese people. It's ridiculous to say it."

"Those who have not experienced Chinese cultural education will not be able to learn the implicit language and tactful way of speaking. It is naturally difficult for us who have settled overseas to understand this language art."

Raising the teacup in front of him, Zhou Yi suddenly changed the subject.

"By the way, Mr. Zhou, I haven't asked where you are from yet?"

"Me?" Hearing this sudden question, Smith Zhou responded with a slight smile. "I am from Los Angeles, and I am a third-generation American immigrant. I joined the American Paratroopers when I was young, and then I left such a root cause. Later, I simply immigrated to France and settled down there. Me and A That's where I met Lexia."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi glanced at the Alexia that Smith said.It has to be said that this is a very typical blonde beauty.With a polite manner and an elegant demeanor, one can tell at a glance that she is a woman who has received a higher education, and is even a noble-born woman herself.Of course, the most important point is that she looks less than 30 years old, and compared with Smith, who is almost 50 years old, this woman's age is too young.

A gap of almost 20 years can be seen at a glance, a typical example of an old cow gnawing tender grass.It's no wonder that so many people gave them that weird look before.After all, for most single dogs, this is the most disgusting behavior.All the good cabbage was gone, so that single dogs like them didn't even have to eat the leaves of the cabbage, which was simply a heinous crime.

But Zhou Yi's thinking is different from these single dogs.You know, he is honorably standing in the ranks of winners in life.Don't look at the fact that he only has one by his side now, but in his home, there are still four or five women waiting for him.If this is said, it is completely enough to make these single dogs have an urge to burn him to death.Therefore, a winner in life like him will not have any jealousy towards Smith. On the contrary, what he has is the simplest appreciation.

"This lady is very beautiful, Mr. Zhou, your luck is very good."

"Thanks for the compliment. Sometimes I also feel that the luckiest thing that happened to me was meeting Alexia."

In front of Zhou Yi, he squeezed the hand of the woman named Alexia without any pretentiousness.A gentle smile appeared on Smith's face again. "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, Mr. Zhou, where are you from?"

"I lived on the west coast for a while, and then I basically settled in New York. Since the accident in New York, I have made the same choice as most New Yorkers, and settled in Huiyao City. It just so happens that recently I have free time, so I took my wife and children back to mainland China to have a look."

Describing himself as an ordinary white-collar worker with some spare money, Zhou Yi played sloppy in front of Smith.After hearing his answer, Smith just smiled and started talking about unrelated things.

"Really? Then this is really a pretty good decision. You know, in the past few decades, China's development has been a leap forward. Sometimes I wonder if moving my family back here will be a good decision. It would be a clearer decision."

"Maybe, after all, the world's economic center is shifting here. It's better to make a decision earlier than to regret it later."

"That's true. And anyway, China is also the hometown of us Chinese. Looking at the scenery here and the people here, there will always be a feeling of wanting to let people return to their roots. The grandparents have been thinking about such a day , maybe in my hands, it’s time for their dreams to come true.”

"So, you have decided to go back to China for development." Zhou Yi said bluntly after glancing at Smith in surprise. "I thought three or four generations of immigrants like you and me had given up on that idea."

Facing Zhou Yi's statement, Smith smiled, and a look of vicissitudes suddenly appeared on his face.

"You will know when you are as old as I am. At this time, relatives and memories are the most important. Loneliness will make you desperately search for everything that can comfort your soul. Only in this way can you feel Feel a little better."

"I've been doing nothing all my life, and I don't even have a child at such an old age. If I hadn't met Alexia, I might still be alone now. So from that time on, I was thinking, Take her to find a place where I can finally rest in peace. And here, the hometown of my ancestors, is undoubtedly the best choice."

"It would be a good choice. For a man like you, it would be a good choice."

After watching Smith quietly for a while, Zhou Yi said this to him as if emphasizing.After hearing his words, Smith's face froze, and then he returned to Du's indifferent and elegant appearance.

"You are right, I also think this will be the most correct decision for me. Oh, yes, I haven't asked yet, who is this little gentleman or this lady?"

"My son Zhou Yu, and my wife Qin Gelei."

"Very cute child. Zhou Yu, if I remember correctly, it should be that feather fan scarf, Zhou Gongjin whose mast and scull disappeared in smoke while talking and laughing. This is indeed a good name."

With a silent admiration, Smith Zhou looked at the little guy who completely ignored the conversations of the adults and only cared about his own happiness.There was a different look in his eyes.

"If possible, can I have a photo with this kid? Seriously, I love this cute kid so much. If I had kids, his kids would be about the same age by now."

As soon as such words are uttered, people can't help but think of the sadness of his lonely life, so they inevitably feel a little sympathy for him.But all this is not true for Zhou Yi, he just looked at Smith in front of him lightly, stared at him for a moment, and then said to him.

"Sorry, Mr. Zhou. My child doesn't like being photographed, so unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't satisfy your wish."

This kind of behavior is a bit unreasonable, but what Zhou Yi expressed was his own inhuman thoughts.He has already seen something, so he doesn't mind expressing some of his thoughts through actions.

And as a smart person, Smith naturally understood what he meant.So a look of regret suddenly appeared on his face, but he still suppressed the disappointment in his heart, and showed a gentle smile to Yan.

"If that's the case, then I won't force it."

"This is the best!" Looking at little Zhou Yu, who was already full, and the increasingly silent atmosphere between them.Zhou Yi stood up directly and said to Smith. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith Zhou. However, I think it's time for this short meeting to end. If possible, I hope this is the last time we meet. Do you understand what I mean?"

Such sudden words not only caused Smith to show a surprised expression, but even Qin also showed a look of incomprehension.But soon, Smith reacted, and put a bitter smile on his face.

"I understand, I understand. I know what you mean very well. Mr. Zhou Yi, I will do it, please rest assured."

"I mean not just me, but some other people. Including them, you don't touch them, never. Do you know what I mean?"

Almost aggressive, Zhou Yi emphasized to Smith again.In the face of his aggressiveness, Smith has always backed down step by step.

"I know what you mean, and I can assure you, I won't do that. Absolutely not!"

"I hope you can remember what you said today."

Squinting, staring at Smith for a moment.Zhou Yi turned his attention to Qin.

"Honey. I think we should be leaving now. What do you think?"

"Of course!"

Regarding Zhou Yi's obvious gesture, it is naturally impossible for Qin to disobey her intention.While pulling her child up, she put her hand into Zhou Yi's arm.Throughout, she didn't make a single comment on their conversation.And this means her silent support for Zhou Yi.

And just watched Zhou Yi take his wife and children slowly disappearing from his sight.Like Qin, Alexia, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't bear the emotions in her heart, and said angrily to Smith.
