Chapter 176: A Visit (3/3)
The next morning the weather was fine, and the sun shone through the light clouds on the white snowdrifts behind the field houses, reflecting a silvery light that blinded people's eyes.
Knowing that Guan Qiu was leaving today, many people came to see him off.
Here, Guan's mother pulled Guan Qiu Yin Yin to advise, and Guan Qiu also responded with a smile.
Guan Youyou wants to stay at home for a few more days, and wait for Zhang Xiaonan and the others to go over with them on the 10th.
After Guan Qiu got in the car, Guan's mother waved her hand and said with red eyes: "Drive slowly on the road, and call your mother when you arrive." ”
"I know Mom~ You have to take care of your body at home. ”
"Drive slowly on Xiaoqiu Road. ”
"Okay. If you have time to go to Lucheng, you must remember to call me. ”
"Okay, good ......"
After the car was on the road, the mother kept watching from the side of the road with the reversible mirror closed.
Guan Qiu's nose was a little sour, and he really wanted to turn around and take his mother to Sioux City immediately.
But it didn't happen.
Wait a little longer, wait until the summer vacation......
……
……
Today is only the sixth day of the first lunar month, and the compound of the Shicheng Chengxi Military Region is still immersed in a peaceful New Year's atmosphere, and everyone on the road is beaming with joy on their faces.
There was also laughter in the high-rise building to the west of the compound, and cheerful laughter came from the house from time to time.
Downstairs, an old man and an old lady passed by and said strangely: "What's going on with the old Zhou family today, so happy." ”
"I heard that the girl and son-in-law of the Zhou family are coming over, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”
"Girl and son-in-law?
"Shhhhh ”
"Oooooooooo
At this time, in the house, Mrs. Zhou asked, "Where is Xiaoguan?"
Zhou Tong smiled: "He is on the way, and he has already crossed the river." ”
Sitting on Zhou Tong's right hand was her mother Hua Ying, but her face was not very good-looking at this time, and said: "Anyway, I have already said it, and it is impossible for me to agree to this family matter." ”
Zhou Tong tugged at her mother's arm and said, "Mom, what are you talking about! He's my friend, and people came to play." ”
Hua Ying said angrily: "Come and play to be so exciting?"
Zhou Tong said: "Then I originally planned to invite him to a light meal, but grandpa didn't let him come, and I want to blame you for grandpa." ”
When Mrs. Zhou saw that her granddaughter threw the pot on her head, she immediately said: "It's right for me to let him come over for dinner, but I didn't agree to anything else, I want to blame your two nephews, they passed it on." ”
Hua Ying saw that the old and the young shirked their responsibilities to each other, and they were so angry that they stopped talking.
Over there, Uncle Zhou Tong, that is, Zhou Yong's father Zhou Huai'an, stepped over, and then sat down next to Zhou Tong with his trouser legs, and said with a smile: "Zhou Yong praised Xiaoguan in front of me, tell me, what is going on?"
Zhou Tong was embarrassed to say: "How can there be, it's just an ordinary person, just a little smart." ”
Zhou Huai'an smiled and said: "Tongtong has also learned to be humble. Can an ordinary person make such a big fuss in Sioux City?"
Hua Ying, who was angry, was dissatisfied at this time: "Huai'an, don't give him a stance, you know better than me what the situation is in that Xiaoguan." Anyway, what I mean is clear, not welcome. ”
Zhou Huai'an said: "Huaying, I didn't say you, what age is it now, you can't always hold the traditional idea of being the right person!"
Hua Ying became even more angry when she heard this, and said, "I don't like to hear this." Then the girl that Zhou Yong talked about at the beginning, how could you and Feng Qin disagree? Now it's my girl's turn, oh, you just say I'm an old thinker?"
Zhou Huaian was choked and speechless.
His son Zhou Yong was in a similar situation to Zhou Tong now, he fell in love with a girl from an ordinary family, and the two loved each other.
As a result, his wife disagreed, and even went to the girl's house. Because his wife helped his son talk about another marriage, it can be regarded as a marriage.
Back then, Zhou Yong's wings were not hard enough, and his arms couldn't reach his thighs, and in the end, the two broke up.
This incident directly led to the deterioration of the relationship between mother and son, and Zhou Yong's seldom going home now is directly related to the incident back then.
This time, Zhou Yong helped Guan Qiu come out, but he didn't see his own shadow in the other party.
Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, Zhou Tong's phone rang.
Take it out and see that it is Guan Qiu's.
……
At the gate of the compound, Guan Qiu looked at the sentry standing guard and beat a drum in his heart.
He's just an ordinary person, when has he ever been to such a high-end place?
Not to mention going in, when I passed through this kind of place in my previous life, I was far away.
I took off the makeup mirror and took a photo, the hairstyle was quite neat, and the face was ruddy.
Then he opened the armrest box and took out two packs of Chinese bags, and after thinking about it, he was afraid that it would not be enough, so he took another pack.
Turning his head to look at the full gift boxes on the table behind him, he suddenly felt a little cheesy in his heart.
It is impossible to eat this kind of gift for this kind of family, and it is usually taken away as a gift, or simply waiting for it to expire and throw it in the garbage heap.
Thinking about thousands of dollars thrown into the garbage heap, he felt a little distressed.
But the first time you visit, you can't be empty-handed, right?
"Hey~ I knew that I would have bought some special gifts, even if I bought two plates of salted chicken and salted duck, it was better than this thing. ”
"Salted duck, belching ......" Guan Qiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered that there were a lot of salted fish and salted meat in the trunk, and bun enema, all of which his mother asked someone to process on his behalf years ago.
Guan Qiu suddenly stroked his palms and laughed.
At this moment, Zhou Tong appeared in sight and was walking briskly towards the gate of the compound.
Zhou Tong is dressed up very beautifully today. The black straight hair was permed with a small wavy curl, and there was a little charm in the innocence, and a knee-length tweed coat showed off the figure perfectly.
Guan Qiu pushed the car door and walked down.
Seeing Guan Qiu, Zhou Tong trotted over in front.
After coming to Guan Qiu, Zhou Tong smiled with a wheezing smile: "You're here!"
Guan Qiu answered, and then walked to the car with Zhou Tong in the strange eyes of the sentry, "That...... Do you have a lot of people in your family?"
Zhou Tong nodded, pursed his lips and smiled: "A lot of people." ”
Guan Qiu scratched his head and didn't know if he had lied. Comfort yourself in your heart, just eat a light meal, don't be nervous.
When the car drove to the door, the sentry still registered according to the regulations before letting it go.
Guan Qiu couldn't care about looking at the scenery in the courtyard anymore, and kept thinking about what to say later.
After getting out of the car, Guan Qiu took out salted fish and salted meat, salted chicken and salted duck from the trunk, and took out two steamed buns wrapped in plastic bags and two strings of enema.
Zhou Tong was stunned by the side, and then couldn't help but smile: "I'll tell you, you have a full score for this gift." ”
Guan Qiu smiled and asked, "It's really, it won't be shabby, right?"
Zhou Tong smiled and said: "I promise you with my personality, absolutely not!"
Guan Qiu opened the back door and gestured to the gift on the back seat: "What about this?"
Zhou Tong hurriedly said, "Don't, don't." Let's go, let's go~"
The two men went upstairs.
There are so many people in the family, even the baby in my arms has been brought, and at a glance, the house is full of people.
Fortunately, the place is big enough, and there is a family living on one floor, so it will not be impossible to insert it.
After seeing Guan Qiu and Zhou Tong carrying a slip of agricultural and sideline products into the house, the originally bustling house suddenly quieted down.
Everyone stared at Guan Qiu, and their eyes were very strange, as if they had seen some extinct prehistoric creature, with curiosity, doubt, incomprehension, and a hint of laughter.
At this moment, a teenage boy giggled and said, "Aunt Tong has come back from buying roast goose." ”
In an instant, the room became noisy again as if the forbidden technique had been lifted, and then took the things in the hands of Guan Qiu and the others.
"Hey, this salted fish is not small, the meat is still straight, and it looks like it is pickled at home. ”
"This bacon is also good, it smells very good. ”
"Wow, what is this, steamed buns?"
"It's not steamed buns, it's steamed buns at home in the countryside, and the ones on it are hemp leaf vegetables. ”
“……”
Everyone discussed the gifts brought by Guan Qiu very tacitly, and Zhou Tong took Guan Qiu to the living room in the south.
Zhou Tong stepped forward and introduced: "This is my grandfather~"
Guan Qiu followed up and said respectfully: "Hello grandpa, boy Guan Qiu has given your old man a New Year's greeting, I wish you happiness such as the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan, every year has today, every year has today!"
Old Man Zhou looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "The young man looks good and is very energetic." Come on, come on, sit down and say. ”
Guan Qiu sat down with a "smile" and remained reserved and did not speak.
After caring about the situation on the road, Old Man Zhou asked with a smile: "I heard that Xiaoguan's family is from Fengtai, right?"
Guan Qiu nodded, "Yes." ”
Old Man Zhou asked, "Who else is there at home?"
Guan Qiu said: "My father died early, and my mother and sister were at home. Her mother teaches at a primary school in her hometown, and her sister studies at Guangling University. ”
Old Man Zhou nodded, and asked again: "Since your mother is a teacher and your sister is a college student, there is such a family atmosphere, why did you drop out of school early?"
At the age of Old Man Zhou, he naturally has no taboos, and he can say whatever he wants. Without thinking, will this question embarrass the other party?
Guan Qiu said very calmly: "Actually, I also want to study hard, but I don't know why, I just can't read it, every time I go to the examination room, the symbols of mathematics and chemistry are like earthworms in my mind, and then I am blind." ”
Old Man Zhou immediately laughed.
The crowd of people who were listening also showed knowing smiles.
It is said that there are few people in the Zhou family who can read, and they are all coarse.
Zhou Huai'an, who was sitting diagonally opposite Guan Qiu, said with a smile: "I am born to be useful! Since it is not the material for reading, it is barely useless, and the three hundred and sixty lines are all out of the top rank." ”
Guan Qiu responded and continued to remain reserved.
There's nothing to talk about next, and what should be known has already been understood.
"Let's go, go over and eat. ”
There are three large round tables in the large living room on the east side, and adults and children are on them together.
In addition to the identity background, in fact, the Zhou family is no different from ordinary people, talking and laughing, unrestrained.
Guan Qiu also quickly let go.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, it is the same as being a guest at a normal friend's house, you should eat and drink.
After a lively meal, he basically knew everyone in the Zhou family.
After dinner, I chatted with Mr. Zhou, and after the old man went to sleep, my uncle's son Zhou Yang came over to talk to him about website technology.
After Zhou Yang left, Zhou Tong's mother Hua Ying came over with a straight face......
