Chapter 3: Cousin
Usually Zhou Ziming has most of the entertainment at noon and at night, except for eating at home in the morning, three meals a day basically do not see people, today at noon Zhou Ziming rushed home to eat, obviously worried about his son, this is the outside entertainment, but when he saw Zhou Fan, Zhou Ziming also showed a cold attitude, which made Zhou Fan feel interesting.
Although he knew Zhou Ziming's thoughts, Zhou Fan did not debunk it, and carefully sat opposite Zhou Ziming and shouted softly: "Dad." "It's completely uneasy, looking at Zhou Ziming as if a mouse has seen a cat.
"Who told you to sit down, you didn't study well at a young age, you learned to drink, and you almost didn't come back, what do you want?" Zhou Ziming opened his mouth majestically and scolded, but in his words, Zhou Fan still heard his father's concern for him.
Zhou Fan stood up cautiously and said: "Dad, I know it's wrong, I promise that I won't drink so much wine in the future, I will go to work at the National Development and Reform Commission obediently tomorrow, and I won't cause trouble for you." ”
Zhou Fan's answer obviously made Zhou Ziming slightly stunned, although this son didn't dare to fly into the sky in front of him, and when he usually scolded Zhou Fan, Zhou Fan didn't dare to talk back, but Zhou Fan was not so obedient in the past, if Zhou Ziming said this in the past, Zhou Fan must have stood aside and lowered his head and didn't speak, looking lifeless, there would be an apology as a guarantee like today, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said that he was willing to go to work in the National Development and Reform Commission, which was a matter of Zhou Ziming's heart.
"Hmph." Zhou Ziming snorted coldly, and wanted to open his mouth to scold Zhou Fan, but his son admitted his mistake and apologized, but Zhou Ziming was a little embarrassed to open his mouth and scold.
"Ziming, everyone knows it's wrong, you just let him sit down and eat, from yesterday to today, Fanzi is also hungry, don't be hungry." Tang Aiju opened her mouth to persuade, as a mother, Tang Aiju is naturally very fond of Zhou Fan, and usually protects Zhou Fan, Zhou Ziming has no good way to be his wife, so he can only scold Tang Aiju in his heart for being a bad mother, but when he heard that Zhou Fan was hungry, Zhou Ziming could only open his mouth and let Zhou Fan sit down to eat first.
The dishes on the table are all what Zhou Fan likes to eat, especially the dishes in front of Zhou Fan, which are obviously Zhou Fan's favorites, these dishes must have been specially prepared by his parents to Sister Ma, and they also showed the good intentions of these parents.
Home-cooked side dishes, Zhou Fan ate them with relish, and in later generations, Zhou Fan could be regarded as having eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but compared with the familiar taste twenty years ago, Zhou Fan felt that these home-cooked side dishes seemed to be more delicious.
Seeing her son eating happily, Tang Aiju kept putting vegetables for Zhou Fan on the side, but she forgot to eat, but when she saw her son eating deliciously, Tang Aiju, who was a mother, was satisfied.
"Mom, you eat it too, I ate so much alone, this mapo tofu, the more Aunt Ma burns it, the more flavorful it becomes, you can taste it too." Zhou Fan gave Tang Aiju a chopstick mapo tofu, Tang Aiju grew up in Pingyuan Province since she was a child, and she likes spicy food, but Zhou Fan grew up in the capital since he was a child, and he did not inherit Tang Aiju's ability to eat spicy, but like Zhou Ziming, he doesn't like spicy taste very much.
Seeing that her son took the initiative to pick up vegetables for herself, Tang Aiju smiled, it seems that her son has really grown up and knows how to be filial to his mother, so moved, Tang Aiju was a little choked and speechless, this is really easy to satisfy when parents are sometimes.
"Mom, you eat." Zhou Fan opened his mouth to persuade, seeing Tang Aiju's expression, Zhou Fan felt uncomfortable for a while, Tang Aiju had never eaten anything good in his previous life, and Tang Aiju was not so excited at that time, but Zhou Fan sandwiched a chopstick dish for Tang Aiju, and Tang Aiju was in a mood.
"Mom, when I get my first salary, I'll take you to the Beijing Hotel for a good meal." Seeing Tang Aiju's expression, Zhou Fan opened his mouth and said, in fact, as the long house of the Zhou family, Tang Aiju has never eaten any good things, but his son's words obviously still made Tang Aiju feel a little bitter in his heart, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, you two hurry up and eat, you still want to eat at the Beijing Hotel with your few yuan salary, as long as you don't make trouble for me in the unit, when you finish this month, our family will go to the Beijing Hotel to eat something good, and I will pay for the treat." Zhou Ziming opened his mouth and said to Zhou Fan.
"What's the matter, my son said that he wanted to invite me to dinner, you are jealous, and my son has no money, so I can't afford to pay it, as long as my son has this mind, of course this meal money is given by me as a mother, as for you, you will be your loner." Hearing Zhou Ziming's words, Tang Aiju was obviously unhappy.
"Okay, I won't participate in the affairs of your mother, so it's always okay, but when you go to the unit, you must be modest and cautious, and don't have conflicts with colleagues and leaders, do you understand?" Zhou Ziming instructed Zhou Fan with a stern expression.
"Well, I'm not going to make trouble." Zhou Fan opened his mouth and said.
Hearing his son agree, Zhou Ziming nodded majestically.
After eating at noon, the cousin of the second aunt's family came to sit at home for a while in the afternoon, obviously hearing that Zhou Fan was drunk and almost had alcohol poisoning, which can be regarded as a show of concern, of course, the cousin naturally hopes to meet Zhou Ziming, the eldest uncle, and Tang Aiju, the eldest aunt.
The second aunt's marriage was chosen by herself, and the old man Zhou did not necessarily ask for any so-called political marriage for the marriage of his children, but Zhou Ziming and Tang Aiju were also considered political marriages, of course, the premise was that the two looked at the right eye, and the old man did not force the two of them, but when they went on a blind date, they let the two families meet.
Although the two of them are looking at each other on their own, in general, the two families are also involved in political relations, after all, compared with the Zhou family, the Tang family is obviously not a big family.
The second aunt is now a professor at the University of China, and the second aunt himself is also a professor at the University of China, and the second aunt's family is all specialized in research, especially the old man of the second uncle's family, the old man was involved in the test of nuclear weapons, although he only participated in some data calculations, but he is also the father of half of the nuclear bomb, and now he is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and enjoys the vice ministerial allowance of the State Council.
Although the second aunt's marriage was chosen by herself, the Zhou family obviously did not want their daughter to marry a poor boy, with the identity of the old man, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the second aunt's marriage was also smooth, and the marriage was soon settled.
The second aunt's family likes to specialize in study, but the cousin of the second aunt's family is obviously an exception, from childhood to adulthood, this cousin has no interest in doing learning at all, and he has a headache when he sees reading. There is no arrogant and domineering taste of the children of the family, which is very rare.
