I quietly watch you play

Zhou Wei didn't go back to Zhou's mansion for this belated reunion dinner until the last day of the New Year's Day holiday. Fortunately, he was not the only culprit.

Zhou Shuzhi rushed to Sensoji Temple in Tokyo on the eve of New Year's Day, and visited a great monk there who was proficient in root carving skills. Xu had a good conversation and forgot that he missed the plane tonight and He Xi, and returned to Danyang on the 2nd.

Zhou Chen held his breath for three days, almost blowing back the tumor he had just removed.

On the contrary, Zhou Lei has been at home for the past few days, either shutting himself in the room to do homework, or playing a game of Go with his grandfather, which is also a rare sunny look on the old man's face.

"Finally willing to go home?!"

Before Zhou entered the door, Zhou Chen made a mocking sarcasm, his face turned cloudy.

"grandfather."

Zhou Wei has made a mental construction of not fighting back when hitting or scolding, and is preparing to confuse the rare reunion dinner in the past few days, so his voice is submissive and soft, as if all the thorns in his body are gone. At Jiang Xiaoqi's house, he didn't bring it here.

The family has eaten at the same table for 20 years, and the spoon has never touched the rim of the bowl. Like Zhou Wei's spoon, I am afraid that he has become accustomed to knocking the rice bowl like a gong.

That kind of irreconcilable conflict between ideal and reality is no less than a clash of swords and soldiers between father and son and relatives. There are bottomless gullies carved without seeing blood, and the only way not to fall to pieces is to carefully detour.

Some conflicts, the closer they are, the more difficult they are to resolve.

Zhou Wei has been away from home for a while, although he lived at home before and rarely saw his grandfather, Zhou Chen really misses him during this time, maybe he is really old.

Zhou Chen saw that his grandson was in a smooth body, and most of his anger disappeared. Thinking about the report card he received a few days ago, this bastard has improved by more than a star. There are a few sparks left.

During the Chinese New Year, any conflicts can be temporarily put aside.Zhou Chen waved at him: "Come and sit down, have you been studying hard lately? Tell the kitchen to cook some supplements, what kind of face is this!"

Zhou Wei sat down obediently, and as soon as he touched the sofa, he lost his shape: "Grandpa, studying is very hard, but without Uncle Jiang, it is hard to study, tutor and take care of me. Do you think he only comes from Jiang's house every month?" To receive 5000 yuan, I have to see a doctor and buy medicine for my mother to supplement nutrition, I have to pay tuition and accommodation fees to buy data and a meal card, I have to maintain a house, a car, save phone bills, and transportation... Now I have to support me."

Zhou Wei rubbed her head over and put her pillow on Mr. Zhou's lap, well, this feeling is not satisfactory.

He tilted his head: "Grandpa, you don't know how hard we both live! One was fined for three months, and the other lived for three thousand miles. He could only live on rice and vegetables every day, and even the stalks of broccoli had to be peeled." I don't want to throw it away..."

Zhou Chen: "..."

"I'm actually okay. Uncle Jiang thinks that I have to take exams and grow physically. If I have a mouthful of soup, I will eat a mouthful of meat. If I have a bowl of porridge, I will have a meal of rice. He thinks that he can't live up to your promise. I'm full after a meal. Look at my complexion, isn't it white and green? That's white rice and vegetables, and it's almost like a rabbit. Oh, by the way, Uncle Jiang's complexion is not as good as mine! You think It hasn't been long since he had the bone marrow drawn..."

Zhou Lei, who was silently cleaning up the Go chess pieces, couldn't listen anymore. He really wanted to feed him a mix of black and white pieces. I've never seen such a ridiculous cry!If he listened to it any further, he might not be able to hold back his laughter.

Then when he heard Zhou Wei mentioning Jiang Xiaoqi, his heart was burned with embarrassment and anger, he still didn't forget the revenge of that punch.

At that time, if it was Zhou Wei who called back by himself, maybe he would have thought about it afterwards, but why would Jiang Xiaoqi, an outsider, have the right to meddle in the family affairs between their brothers!

Zhou Chen also knew in his heart what kind of thing his grandson was, and the words just squeezed out water could at most leave half of the truth, that is, Jiang Xiaoqi could not live up to his entrustment.

Looking back, he also felt that he was too busy and confused, and he didn't say anything when he entrusted him to him. Jiang Xiaoqi was a junior and it was inconvenient to mention it to him. For a while, it happened that Jiang Xiaoqi was still a poor student.

"Oh," Zhou Chen replied, "The share that should be given to you later, should be deposited with Xiaoqi first, don't think about cheating money to spend time and money, he knows how to treat you better than an old man like me!"

Zhou Weideng looked smug, and grabbed a handful of chess pieces from the chessboard, regardless of whether they were black or white, and stuffed them into the rattan basket in Zhou Lei's hand.

"I'm about to divide it! Let's go!" Zhou Lei snatched the rattan basket, angrily threw it on the chessboard, picked it up and went to the study.

The two of them instantly realized that this was the only conversation between the brothers after they were punched each other that night, and strictly speaking it was not a conversation.

Zhou Lei felt that he couldn't hold back and opened his mouth first, and was very annoyed at the loss. It was obviously his brother who teased him first!

"Oh, Xiaowei, I'm back home!" Ji Qing came down from the stairs, her clothes seemed to be very homely, but she was well-dressed, and a jade bracelet on her wrist was so moist that it was about to drip water.

She glanced at the study door that was slammed by Zhou Lei, and walked up to Zhou Wei: "Show me quickly, tsk tsk, how can you play with grandpa like this, why can't the family discuss it carefully?" of……"

As if thinking of something suddenly, Ji Qing frowned: "Xiao Wei, are you still angry with Xiao Lei? He is not sensible, you are the elder brother who should take care of the lesson and not spoil him."

Ji Qing seemed to be in a difficult situation, and lowered her voice: "It's just that this kid has too much face, next time you teach him what is best at home or school, in front of so many people... he is not uncomfortable For several days, even we don’t want to see each other!”

Zhou Wei understands, his mother is looking for the back account of Zhou Lei's punch.

During that time, Zhou Wei didn’t go home, and the wounds on his face were healed by Jiang Xiaoqi, and now it’s smooth and slippery with hibiscus noodles, but Zhou Lei’s punch from Jiang Xiaoqi might also swell for several days, but It hurts my heart every day to show my family.

"Xiao Lei just saw that you refused to go home, and was anxious. It will be good if you come back now!" Ji Qing warmly rubbed the back of Zhou Wei's head, "Come on, it's time to eat. The snail maw has been stewed since morning. Xiaolei asked someone to specially release Jianshouqing, which you like to eat."

After Ji Qing finished speaking, she went to knock on the door of the study, Zhou Lei lingered for a long time before reluctantly going to the dining table and sat down next to Zhou Wei.

Cold dishes and hot soup have been carefully matched. The old man of the Zhou family is in power, and the family style is traditional. It is not as extravagant as the Pei family can see with the naked eye, but the basic necessities of life are fine, which is also the credit of Ji Qing over the years.

Zhou Wei had seen her buy "The Housekeeper" and read it carefully, and even watched "Downton Abbey" as an educational film repeatedly.

The long scroll hanging in the Zhou family's mansion is the original work of Zhao Mengfu, tearing it off and sending it to Jiade for autumn auction may be worth more than this villa;

The pot of Jiang Xiaoqi on the table is called jade fan, which Jiang Xiaoqi may peel and fry to eat. A small plant can be exchanged for ten tons of organic broccoli;

A batch of jade wares on the Bogu rack were thrown down by Xiaoguai back then, and the least valuable of them cost six figures;

There is only one kind of peony named Guanshi Moyu planted in the big flower garden of his house. The crimson petals are stacked in layers, rich and thick...

During the dinner, only Ji Qing's soft voices were heard, all the men in the Zhou family were reluctant to speak, and their mouths were irrelevant, so they simply blocked them with food.

Ji Qing served soup for her father-in-law and her husband, and then used the serving chopsticks to put vegetables in the two children's bowls: "It's great for the children to grow up. When you two were young, I didn't even dare to think about a safe meal. It's not like this." Pour the juice into the rice bowl, and it's the one who grabs the opponent's hair with the ketchup-soaked hand..."

Zhou Weixin said, one or two seem to be talking about me.

"My son is too big to stay, I really took you out of the house, maybe I will still miss the time when I was a child." Ji Qing covered her lips and looked at Zhou Wei, "Looking forward to being a grandmother in the future, you two will have a happy life by then." The child must be sent back to the mansion and let me take it, the little Maotou is simply too cute!"

Zhou Lei didn't like to listen, and said with a cold face, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about! I'm not even an adult—"

Ji Qing chuckled happily: "Who counts on you! You know how to read books and take exams all day long, like a small piece of wood, no girl is willing to join you."

Zhou Wei was inexplicably excited, feeling like a flame would burn on him.

really.

"I said Xiaowei, I have been attracted to girls since I was a child, that metaphor...cough," she seemed to have mentioned the forbidden language inadvertently, then immediately realized that she had shut up, paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Maybe you have met You've found someone you like, right? When you've settled down, you need to talk to your grandpa, so we can help to see if the other person is suitable. Even if you don't choose someone who knows everything about you, at least you have to have a good character and a clean family background. "

Zhou Wei understood, Ji Qing was afraid that he would "rent a house and leave home to take care of a female star" and "beat up his brother who failed to persuade him" because of this.

That's right, how can the fluffy paper mock test report card and the pretended docile face be able to cover it up by chance?Who in the family doesn't know that he is a villain, a bastard, and a scum!

Zhou Chen's face had already darkened. Hearing Ji Qing agree with Zhou Wei's saying that Zhou Wei would marry a wife and have children early. What their family lacks is people. From a family, extravagant fools, and willful and reckless mud.

The rice was mixed with mud, and Zhou Chen couldn't eat it, and the others followed suit, except Zhou Shuzhi, who was like a savage crawling out of a dry grave, chewing on the table with the smell of mud all over his body.

He swallowed the food with half a bowl of soup, raised his hand and patted Zhou Wei's back casually: "Come down with me later, I have something for you."

On Zhou Wei's dinner plate was a rose cake with a corner bitten off, and he was holding a glass of pear soup in his right hand. The inner wall reflected clear and dense palm prints, like cracks drawn by his five fingers.

So, is this calling him back for dinner or making trouble?

Zhou Wei wants to ask all of them, I have been working hard, don't you see? !Jiang Xiaoqi said to him, no one makes you throw away the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds, you can have both, you deserve all the best.

Zhou Wei chooses to believe the first half of his sentence, he knows that he may not deserve all the best, but he can try his best to do the best, and he has already started to do it.

Zhou Wei wants to say loudly to them, do I blame me for growing up like this today?Who told me to have a mother but not a mother!Wei Lerong left without saying a word, it was Ji Qing who soaked him in poison.

He has made demands since he was a child, and someone must be satisfied, and if he causes trouble, someone must end up. It is a miracle that he can still sit here and eat with them instead of being locked behind bars and eating cornbread.

All these words were dispelled by Zhou Shuzhi's pat, like a spell.

Zhou Wei only felt tired. When he came back to Zhou's house, he didn't turn on the timer to write papers, nor did he stay up all night to draw and color the line draft, but he was so tired that he didn't even want to say a word.

"This, it's a bit late, it's your birthday present."

Zhou Shuzhi picks and chooses among a pile of roots and wood chips, pulls out a wood carving slightly bigger than a fist, and throws it to Zhou Wei.

It's Deadpool, I told him last week when I mentioned Marvel Massacre.

Zhou Wei did not expect that Zhou Shuzhi would find materials to make this for him by himself. He is a fine carver, and the dead waiter with two heads is less troublesome. The leather belt on his body and the pair of knives behind his back are all very labor-intensive. The lower body is in cheap and cute flowery pants, with two bare feet.

"Nice," Zhou Wei blew on the fine ash, fond of putting it down.

&&&

Going out from Zhou's mansion, seeing the wind, Zhou Wei began to crouch by the lake and vomit like eating poisonous mushrooms.

The Xiaodiaoli soup was boiled with white fungus, which was easy to cause vomiting, but he couldn't breathe well after eating, and vomited badly.

The group waited for him to calm down before they came out from behind the tree, handed him a bottle of pure water to rinse his mouth, it was actually warm.

Zhou Wei vomited so dehydrated that he was helped up by the group and stuffed into the car.

The group stepped into the driver's seat, reversed the car and drove towards the outside of the community without asking where Zhou Wei planned to go, and then stopped, Zhou Wei opened his eyes and saw the apartment building of Jiang Xiaoqi's house.

The author has something to say:

Nana, you are on the right track!

Those cool faces: You're welcome.
