Chapter 1141: I'll Only Say This Once
The sallow white cheeks were full of knowing smiles, and it was the first time in nearly twenty years that his mother's family visited the apartment where he lived, which made Zhou Die, who was still weak even though his qi was weak, extremely excited.
The swelling on the left side of the face, after a night, is still clearly visible. Whether it was her father or her eldest brother's slap, she didn't remember it. Love is deep, hate is deep. There is no love for no reason, and there is no hatred for no reason. It cannot be said who has changed, only that the position is different.
Just when Zhou Die was making tea for his second brother and second sister-in-law, these two 'relatives' who carefully looked at the layout and decoration of the entire room as soon as they entered the room, first glanced at each other, and the shock and disdain on their faces came spontaneously. In Kyoto, it can be said that even a local with a Kyoto hukou is not so shabby.
Not to mention the outdated, even cracked ceiling, the display of wooden chairs in the living room looks so old-fashioned. Once upon a time, the fourth sister who was at the forefront of fashion, even when the market economy was not fully rolled out, had already entrusted someone to buy jewelry from Hong Kong and other places, at that time she could be described as young and beautiful, but look at now, if it is not for the foundation, a beautiful appearance, just this washed yellowed clothes, have made her drop more than one grade.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, come to drink tea. It's not a precious tea, but it's smooth in the mouth, thick and has an aftertaste. Looking at the bright white blue and white porcelain cup, Brother Zhou and his second sister-in-law still took it against their will, and the flash of disdain was still sensitively captured by Zhou Die.
After so many years of poverty, this once smash hit 'goddess', under the influence of Nalan's second master, learned to be calm, stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation, and only after her second brother and second sister-in-law sat down did she sit down elegantly. Every move is still so dignified and graceful.
Brother Tuesday, who put down the teacup, glanced at his daughter-in-law again, and after coughing a few times, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhou Die, who was smiling brightly as always, and said softly:
"Fluttershy, what about my second brother, let's go straight to the point. I came this time to be entrusted by our mother to come to see you, our father has always been short-tempered, and our eldest brother was also a little impulsive yesterday, don't take it to heart. When he said this, Brother Tuesday's voice seemed extremely frivolous, after all, as a member of the educated youth in the countryside, Brother Tuesday had little contact with the girl in front of him, and he worked directly outside, and he only returned in recent years, plus there was no contact for more than 20 years, and the feelings were not deep, which is normal.
As for Sister-in-law Tuesday, she is from a 'famous family', and her brother is still working in the Organization Department, although she is not in a high position, but she is also a cadre with real power, and then the two of them are in the eyes of Zhou Die, and they all seem to be so 'natural'.
"It's the little sister and I, who did the wrong thing first and insulted the Zhou family's style, whether it is my father or the eldest brother, it is a natural action under the anger, I can understand. Hearing Zhou Die's words, Brother Tuesday, who felt a little soothed, continued:
"Fluttershy, it's not the second brother who said you, why bother. Why bother to suffer for yourself, look at you, what kind of life you live in, what kind of clothes you wear? What he does to you, I can see at a glance, I really don't understand, why do you think about him everywhere. What our mother means, as long as you bow your head and cut off all relations with him, she will come forward to ease the relationship, and the relationship between you and our father ......" looked up, this is not magnificent, it can even be said to be a poor room, Zhou Die, who smiled indifferently, said softly:
"Second brother, help me thank my mother. Whether he is good to me or not, I know best in my heart, I am very happy. Zhongcheng is also very competitive!"
"I said, Fluttershy, you can't change your stubborn temper? What does it mean to be happy for a woman? It's either people or money, you have no money, how can he do it to you?" The words are also very straightforward, and it is uncomfortable to fall on anyone's heart.
"I want his heart to ......" After saying this, Zhou Die smiled indifferently, and without waiting for the two to continue to refute, he continued:
"Second brother, I received the second sister-in-law's wishes. After so many years, I have come over, and seeing that Zhongcheng is about to graduate, I just want him to have a complete home. As for me...... continued to choose Nalan Changkong, I have made all the preparations, second brother, help me talk to my mother, I am really happy. Hearing the words of his fourth sister, Zhou Lao and his wife, who were reluctant to come here, didn't bother to speak, of course, if the scene was a scene, they still had to say a few more words, after all, Yi and Yin officialdom have been in officialdom for so many years, and the official language of people and dogs can be regarded as easy to say. And just as Zhou Lao Er and his wife were about to get up and leave, the door that was originally closed was knocked on one by one.
Zhou Die, who was busy getting up, felt very surprised, since she settled here, few people took the initiative to knock on the door, who could it be? Zhou Die, who came to the door in a broken step and shouted softly, "Who", looked outside through the cat's eye, and when she saw the tall figure, tightly blocking the entire door frame, her body was unnaturally stunned.
The door of the '......squeak' closed door was pulled open by Zhou Die from the inside, and when she saw the young man who looked amazingly similar to Nalan Changkong, although she hadn't really met, she had already guessed the identity of the other party.
"Mom, I'm Zhonglei, Nalan Zhonglei. When Zhou Die suddenly heard the tall figure in front of him and shouted the word 'little mother', his body suddenly trembled a little, not tears in his eyes, but he could still see the other party's emotions fluctuating with his shrugging shoulders.
"Medium...... Zhong Lei, are you back?"
"It's back. After saying these words to Zhou Die with a smile, he cast his afterglow on Xiao Sheng in the room, and asked with a smile:
"Have guests at home?"
"No, this is my second brother and second sister-in-law. This is ......" Without waiting for Zhou Die to speak, Xiao Sheng, who strode into the room, stretched out his right arm and shouted:
"Tuesday Uncle, allow me to introduce myself, Nalan Zhonglei. Nalan Changkong is my father, and I also have a younger brother named Nalan Zhongcheng. Looking at Xiao Sheng's outstretched right hand, Zhou Laoer, who did not raise his hand, glanced at the other party, Xiao Sheng, who was propped up in mid-air, looked very embarrassed. But before the words were spoken, Zhou Lao Er said in a stiff voice:
"Fluttershy, I've already said what I need to say, but it's up to you to decide what you do, so don't go home crying again. After saying this, the second child of the Zhou family and his wife were about to leave, and at this moment, Xiao Sheng, who slowly turned around, said softly:
"Wait. Hearing this, Zhou Die quickly blocked in front of Xiao Sheng, for fear that this young man, who had a similar temperament to the second master of Nalan, would be unfavorable to his second brother.
"What? Nalan Dashao, are you still ready to do it?" Hearing this, Xiao Sheng scratched his head and said with a smile:
"How dare I do it to my mother's place, but my mother is not here, so I don't know. ”
"You ......"
"Help me talk to Uncle Zhou, his son Zhou Bo was arrested in Hong Kong City. I've heard that it's not a small matter. ”
"Who caught it?" Hearing this, Zhou Lao Er suddenly turned his head and glared at Xiao Sheng.
"Me, is there a problem? The specific situation of this matter, your position, you don't deserve to know, let's let the uncle or the old man Zhou come forward. Also, be polite next time you see someone from the Nalan family, otherwise, if my mother doesn't come forward, I won't give Old Man Zhou's face. I'll just say that once......"
