Chapter 119: The Zhou Family's Parents
When Zhou Xuanmo drove back to the villa where his parents lived, it was already the beginning of the day.
The simple decoration style of the villa where Zhou Xuanmo lives is completely different from the black, white and gray base, and the villa where Zhou's father and mother live, if you want to use one word to describe it, it is - local tyrant.
That's right, although the word is a bit cheesy, but it is very apt. Whether it's a crystal chandelier that is as large as an opera house, a faucet made of pure gold, or a scroll of ink treasures hanging on the wall of a contemporary master, in short, each layout fully illustrates the characteristics of the "local tyrant".
But...... This combination of gold jewelry and ink calligraphy and painting...... We can only say that people's tastes and preferences are diverse.
Naturally, this weird and strange preference does not come from Zhou Daboss or Zhou's father, but the boss's mother, Ms. Liu Caijuan.
In fact, Ms. Liu Caijuan is not very greedy for luxury enjoyment, this exaggerated decoration style that is almost "showing off wealth" is not so much for "enjoyment" as for "showmanship".
There is also a "historical story" in this.
Originally, Zhou's father and mother were not from noble backgrounds, one was a workshop worker, and the other was a vendor who set up a stall. It is naturally not easy to survive in City A, a very commercial and highly competitive city. Naturally, as working people at the bottom of society, the couple tasted bitterness and bitterness in their early years.
Naturally, among these bitterness, there is the "merit" of some "self-proclaimed superior people" whose nostrils are facing the sky.
is different from Zhou's father's calmness, Zhou's mother's personality is a bit childlike, and to put it clearly, it is "When I am developed, I must make you who have laughed at me stunned".
Naturally, Zhou's mother's "revenge mentality" and "vanity" are not above her baby son, so this "local tyrant villa" was "freshly baked" after Zhou Xuanmo was fully capable of bearing it, and Zhou's mother repeatedly confirmed that he would not get into any trouble.
What's more, in Zhou's mother's view, this villa is also a symbol of her son's "excellence" - compared to fancy clothes and food, this is her biggest capital to show off as a mother and a woman.
For example, just now, Zhou's mother was still talking on the phone with another Mrs. Kuo, discussing the "experience of sweeping goods" a while ago, but after hearing Zhou Xuanmo's sentence "I'm back" at the entrance, she immediately threw away the jewelry, dresses, discounts, and price reductions of joy, and hurriedly hung up the phone to welcome her.
"Son, are you back?" Mother Zhou's face turned into a flower, and then she looked Zhou Xuanmo up and down, and then frowned, "Eh, why are you-"
"I'm not thin." Boss Zhou was very handsome, and he interrupted his mother's words in a cool and domineering manner. It's not that he's impatient, it's a little helpless - every time he enters the house, the first thing his mother says is, "You're back?" And then immediately after that, "Why are you so thin again?"
After more than 20 years of habits, no matter how "forgetful" you are, you will probably remember it - not to mention, Boss Zhou's memory is quite good in the crowd.
Originally, according to the next routine, Zhou's mother should have been muttering, "Such a big person won't take care of himself", while bringing out a bowl of sweet or salty soup from the kitchen, in short, all kinds of nutrients, all kinds of nourishment, and warm soup for Zhou Xuanmo to drink.
However, today, to Zhou Xuanmo's surprise, the usual "thick soup offensive" did not fire in full force. After Zhou's mother welcomed her son, she kept looking behind her, and she was still chanting words in her mouth - "Why haven't you arrived yet, haven't you forgotten the address for too long?" ”
originally saw his mother's movements, and thought of the phone call yesterday asking him about the "girl who is dating", Zhou Xuanmo thought that his mother was curious about who this "girlfriend" was.
But when he heard Zhou's mother's words, Zhou Xuan knew that Zhou's mother was not talking about Gu Qingqing. Speaking of my mother's overly enthusiastic tone yesterday, it is indeed very suspicious, but who is today's guest?
Although he was a little confused, Boss Zhou was not a gossip man - anyway, when the time came, the guests would naturally come to the door - so he raised his feet and walked towards the second floor and threw down a sentence: "I'll go see Dad." And he departed.
Mother Zhou was stunned, then she turned around and clapped her hands and shouted: "Eh, why did I forget, Amer, come and drink this bowl of soup, the fire is just losing in the spring, I'll warm it for you!" With that, he hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.
When Zhou Xuanmo heard this, his footsteps stiffened slightly, and then he used a faster and neater step - hurry up to the second floor, target: Father's study!
knocked on the door, Zhou Xuanmo pushed the door and entered. At this time, Zhou's father was holding a magnifying glass in one hand and a copy of "The Automobile Era" in the other.
This study can be said to be the only room that can be called "simple", and Zhou's father's reason is: reading books here makes the eyes colorful. And Zhou's mother actually didn't care about the so-called "coordination" of decoration, so this study room survived with this image of "plain face to the sky".
Zhou's father loved cars because he was a worker in a vehicle factory when he was young. I've been dealing with cars all my life, and even now that I'm retired at home, it's hard to break this habit.
Although he is now far away from the workshop, he still often buys car models to disassemble and assemble, or holds a magazine such as "Automobile Times" to study and research, and then sighs with vicissitudes of life that "the times have changed".
Hearing the sound of his son opening the door, Zhou's father raised his eyes: "Are you back?" ”
Zhou Xuanmo nodded: "En." ”
"How's the work?"
"Okay."
"Pay attention to the body."
"Zhilu Dao."
In this way, one question and one answer, it belongs to the dialogue between Zhou's father and son, and the question and answer rarely exceeds ten words in one round. So the two of them are using practical actions to explain the sentence "If there is a father, there must be a son".
After such a brief question and answer for a while, Father Zhou suddenly changed the topic and asked, "I heard that you have a girlfriend?" ”
"You know it, too." Of course, he will know the Dao, and his mother will know the Dao, so it means that all of Zhou Xuanmo's relatives and friends know about the Dao. So Zhou Xuanmo's tone was very affirmative.
"Seriously?"
"Well, seriously, I want to marry her." This is the longest sentence Zhou Xuanmo has ever said since entering this study tonight, and it is also the most serious sentence in his tone.
Just because he knew very well in his heart that after making this decision, he was not "done", on the contrary, the problem had only just begun after he made this decision.
