Chapter 10 Family Affairs of the Zuo Family (I)

In Zhaoshi in August, the sun is so hot that it makes people dizzy.

Even Zuo Le, who has been in the Dongshan furnace in Quancheng for a long time, was swayed by the heat wave of his hometown as soon as he got out of the high-speed rail station.

Looking for a taxi, Zuo Le and the driver said their address, the driver skillfully kicked the accelerator, and the taxi quickly left the high-speed rail station.

The location of Zuo Lejia and the high-speed rail station belong to two different districts and counties in Zhaoshi, and they are not close to each other, and it takes nearly two hours to drive.

Running all the way made Zuo Le a little tired, and politely refused the enthusiastic conversation of the hometown driver, Zuo Le squinted in the back seat with his shoulder bag.

During this period, Comrade Zhuang Cuicui, the left mother who got her son to come back today, made a special call to him, and after learning his location, he immediately hung up the phone.

Zuo Le held the mobile phone that was hung up by his mother, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile.

When he was in college in Quancheng, every time he went home, his family would ask him many times, and sometimes they would even pick him up directly at the high-speed rail station or train station.

Now that Zuo Le has entered the society, things are not people, and he can no longer enjoy the treatment he had in college.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Zuo Le has graduated for more than three years and has not brought back a daughter-in-law to Zhuang Cuicui.

Now, Zhuang Cuicui is full of fire when she sees this bad son, and she can call Zuo Le to ask for a location, which is already her old man's mercy.

............

Zuojiawan

The village where Zuole lived for the first twenty years.

His house is in the northernmost part of the village, close to the river dam, and belongs to the most remote ones in Zuojiawan, where the entrance and exit are east-west.

However, although the location of Zuo Lejia is biased, the area is not small, with more than 400 square meters.

This is thanks to Grandpa Zuo Le, who worked as an accountant in the village back then.

There are two things that the old man is most proud of in his life, one is to build a new house for one of his two sons, and he also has a small home for the elderly.

The other is that the two grandchildren, including Zuo Le, have been admitted to university, and the remaining granddaughters also have excellent grades and are expected to be admitted to school.

This "amazing" qualifications are commendable in Zuojiawan, a small village of less than 1,000 people, and the old man is the old accountant in the village, and he has a high rank in the Zuo clan, so that his old man has a high prestige in Zuojiawan.

Where there is a happy event in the village, the old man is a must-invite guest.

Zuo Le admired his grandfather the most when he was a child, but when he grew up and became sensible, worship turned into respect.

No, I heard my daughter-in-law say that the second grandson who worked in the provincial TV station came home, and the old man was waiting at Zuo Le's house early, and when he saw Zuo Le enter the door, he was immediately happy to open his mouth full of dentures, and took his grandson's hand and chattered.

"Le boy, I'm tired all the way back, drink some tea, here is the snack your dad bought for me, can you taste it, and this banana, I went to the big supermarket in the city to buy it, it's sweet." ”

Zuo Le has long been accustomed to the old man's intimate kindness, he is still the old man's restraint, Zuo Le's lobby brother who is a doctor in the island city is only exaggerated when he comes back, the old man can't wait to personally carry the bowl to feed the eldest grandson who has grown up.

It's pitiful, Brother Zuo Letang's daughters are about to go to elementary school, and they were coaxed by the old man as a child of a few years.

Looking at the embarrassed cousin at the time, Zuo Le and the little sister Zuo Xiao almost died of laughter.

............

Zuo Le was patient, and finally coaxed the old man to recover the excitement of reuniting with his grandson after a long absence, and then rubbed his hands and looked at his mother.

"Mom, I'm hungry. ”

Zhuang Cuicui glanced at Zuo Le, and snorted angrily: "Wait, I'll give you hot dishes." ”

Although Zhuang Cuicui disliked her son very much, when she brought the hot dishes to the table, Zuo Le found that they were all her favorite foods.

Especially the small crispy meat, Zuo Le understood at a glance that it was specially bought from a time-honored fried store in the city, and the small crispy meat here was fried in a batter with lean meat mixed with secret spices.

Feeling the care of his family, Zuo Le's heart warmed, rolled a pancake, and began to sweep the dishes on the table.

After Zuo Le finished eating, the time was past six o'clock in the afternoon, and Zuo Le's father, Zuo Guoqiang, rode an electric tricycle to close the stall and go home.

When Zuo Le was in his junior year, Zuo Guoqiang, who was working as a construction worker at a construction site, fell from the second floor and broke his right leg because of an accident.

Although she recovered as before, Zhuang Cuicui was frightened by her husband's accident and said that she didn't dare to let Zuo Guoqiang go to work on the construction site again.

Zuo Guoqiang couldn't resist his wife, so he simply bought an electric three-wheeler and set up a stall in the market to sell vegetables.

After Zuo Le graduated from university and worked, he no longer had to spend his family's money, and even could feed back some wages, the family's economic pressure plummeted, and Zuo Guoqiang no longer insisted on going out to work to make money, and became his own small vendor with peace of mind.

However, sometimes Comrade Zuo will sigh that he did not help his son, the housing prices in Quancheng are so high, Zuo Le makes money alone, when will he be able to settle down in Quancheng.

Whenever this time, Zuo Le would gently persuade him, and if he couldn't persuade him, he invited Zhuang Cuicui out.

Ms. Zhuang roared as soon as the lion roared, and the troubled world directly stopped.........

............

Seeing his son go home, Comrade Lao Zuo was very happy, he had a dull temperament and was not very good at talking, so he took out the roast duck he bought on the street and beckoned his son to enjoy it together.

Zuo Le was too full just now, and his stomach was full, so he could only politely refuse his father's invitation, and the old comrade Zuo didn't force it, so he cut half of it for the old man and took it back to drink, and then put the remaining half of the roast duck in the refrigerator and kept Zuo Le to eat tomorrow.

As for Zhuang Cuicui, Zuo Guoqiang, who has been married to him for many years, doesn't need to open his mouth to know that his wife has the same idea as himself.

Since Zuo Le was born, what is delicious at home, the couple are first close to their son, and then they have a daughter Zuo Xiao, Zuo Le, who is an elder brother, is one in the back row, but it is still absolutely preferential to Zuo Guoqiang and Zhuang Cuicui.

For this reason, Zuo Le persuaded the couple countless times, and even lost his temper, but it turned into useless work.

From childhood to adulthood, although Zuo Guoqiang and his wife did not give Zuo Le's brothers and sisters how superior family conditions they were, their family care and love were not lost to any parents.

............

At half past nine in the evening, seeing that it was not early, the old man insisted on going back to his small courtyard, and Zuo Le used a flashlight to escort the old man into the door safely.

Grandma Zuo Le left a few years ago, and then Zuo Guoqiang and Zuo Le's uncle Zuo Guozheng both said that they would take the old man into their own home, but the old man didn't agree to anything.

Everyone can't resist the old man, so they can only follow his wishes, and usually come to the small courtyard to visit and take care of it.

After saying goodbye to his grandfather, Zuo Le turned around and returned home to find his parents holding their mobile phones for video chatting.

When I stepped forward, a little girl in a school uniform was talking with a smile on her face, it was Xiao Zuole's ten-year-old sister - Zuo Xiao.

Fourteen-year-old Zuo Xiao this year, studying in the city's key middle school No. 82 Middle School, the start of school is just the third year of junior high school, and the style of No. 82 Middle School is more strict, so when others are spending summer vacation, Zuo Xiao has already carried a schoolbag and is preparing for the school exam.

Of course, because the Education Bureau strictly ordered schools not to allow students to attend classes during holidays, Zuo Xiao was nominally attending the school's summer camp.

There are not many places in this "summer camp", almost all of them are top students in each class, and Miss Zuo was successfully selected with her excellent results in the top ten of her grade.

Eighty-two middle school can be stayed, Zuo Xiao in order to get rid of the clutches of his mother Zhuang Cuicui, he applied for accommodation in the school in the second year of junior high school, because it has not officially opened yet, the school is not strict, Zuo Xiao quietly brought a mobile phone, and video chatted with his parents every night after self-study.

At this point, Zuo Le is not as intimate as his sister, when he was in school, he didn't remember to take the initiative to call home for ten days and half a month.

............

As soon as Zuo Le showed his head, Zuo Xiao saw it, and immediately screamed with joy, and then chattered about the bald principal of their school, asking her to start school early and miss meeting her brother.

Zuo Le's brother and sister are 10 years apart, Zuo Xiao can be said to be Zuo Le's childhood and upbringing, and the brother and sister have an excellent relationship.

It's rare for my brother to go home, but I can't see each other, which makes Zuo Xiao a little lost.

Zuo Le felt sorry for his sister and promised to take the time to go to Eighty-two Middle School to see her, but was scolded by Zhuang Cuicui.

"Xiaoxiao is so busy studying, what are you bothering her to do, isn't there a mobile phone to video chat, and it's not that you can't watch it, where is there so much hypocrisy. ”

The head of the family is powerful, where does Zuo Le dare to talk more, na, it should be, but he turned his head and winked at Zuo Xiao, the smart Miss Zuo immediately understood, skillfully changed the topic, and asked Zuo Le why he went home this time.

is all his own family, Zuo Le naturally will not deceive, and directly tells his own experience and inventory in the recent period, and the other three members of the Zuo family know that their son (brother) is a director.........
