"Let me introduce, this is Qi Daoming, Dean Qi, the dean of the National Academy." Zhou Ruocheng introduced to his family.

"Hello Dean Qi." Several girls at home also said politely.

"Hello." Qi Daoming said to the girls with a smile.

"What are you doing so formally? This is your Uncle Qi, when I worked hard with your master in Jingzhou, he lived next door to our house, and he had a hard time at that time. Zhou's mother began to say.

"I said, Mom, can you stop mentioning this?" Zhou Ruocheng also looked at his mother with a disgusted face, this big-mouthed mother-in-law really said everything.

"Tell me what's wrong, your Uncle Qi still had dinner at our house back then!" Zhou's mother muttered.

"Is it better than ever?" Zhou Ruocheng said helplessly: "Mom, do you know what the status of Dean Qi is now?" ”

"What kind of status?" Mother Zhou asked with a puzzled expression.

"Eh~ Teacher Zhou, just let your mother say that, my habit of listening, no one has called me that for a long time." Qi Daoming said with a smile.

"Come on, let's sit down and chat, it's not me who said, I'm bored when I come to Shanghai." Mother Zhou pulled Qi Daoming to sit on the sofa on the side, as if she had seen a brother she hadn't seen for many years, and she was unusually affectionate.

"Mom, I don't think I wronged you when I brought you to Huzhou, right?" Zhou Ruocheng was also a little dissatisfied, and said, "Could it be that the girls in our family have neglected you?" ”

"That's not what I said, well, if I used to be free, I could go out and chat with the neighbors in a few alleys, but after I arrived in Shanghai, there was nothing." Zhou's mother said.

"Then you can go out and hang out with other wives." Zhou Ruocheng said.

"I went, and I didn't understand all the Shanghainese dialects. . . ." Zhou's mother replied.

"Don't say it's you, even I don't understand it now... Zhou Ruocheng is also smiling, and it is rare to have a common language with Zhou's mother.

"Sure enough, Mr. Zhou has a lot of shadows of girls... No wonder I was so kind when I met him. Qi Daoming said with a smile.

"Is there one? I think this kid is more like him. "Zhou's mother looked at Zhou Ruocheng" with a sassy face, and she didn't say anything in her heart... ”

Hearing this, Qi Daoming suddenly changed his expression: "Brother Zhou, is he okay now?" ”

"Okay very~ He's going to live now, soak in the study every day, or go out with his fox friends and dogs, maybe bring him something back one day." Zhou's mother said.

"Oh~ We haven't seen each other for so long since you and Brother Zhou left, are you just a son of Teacher Zhou?" Qi Daoming asked.

"Isn't it? When I first gave birth to him, my father and I had nothing to do.,Put him at his grandmother's house and continue to come to Jingzhou to work hard.,That's when I saw Brother Daoming in the courtyard.,At that time, Brother Daoming was much thinner than now.,At that time, I was worried that you didn't eat well.。。。 Mother Zhou looked at Qi Daoming and said.

"I'm ashamed to say it, I was really embarrassed at that time, I was a gentleman while studying, and I said that I was a gentleman, that is, I was a temporary substitute teacher for several schools, and I couldn't attend classes for a few days a month, and I studied at home the rest of the time." Qi Daoming said.

"Eh, I remember it, it was rare to see him go out at that time, and when he came back, he had two stacks full of new books, and all that was left was some steamed buns, and at that time I asked, 'Brother Daoming, why don't you eat vegetables?' Guess how he answered? Zhou's mother said happily.

"There is braised pork in the book, and there is pepper sesame chicken in the book." Zhou's mother and Qi Daoming laughed after they finished speaking.

Zhou Ruocheng sat on the side and watched the two of them, because they had no laughter at all, and it was a little embarrassing to laugh so happily.

After laughing for a while, Qi Daoming stopped, "Eh... At that time, it was also thanks to Miss Men and Brother Zhou... Isn't it okay to call me to fight the tooth sacrifice so that I can get some meat? ”

"After all, I can't bear to watch you eat steamed buns tomorrow, right? We're all neighbors... Zhou's mother said: "Anyway, at that time, you went to be a gentleman, and the reward was just like that?" ”

"It's not... It's just that most of it is used to buy books... Qi Daoming said helplessly.

"Ahh Zhou's mother also sighed, "How can you be so bad at yourself?" ”

"Mom... Isn't Dean Qi able to have such achievements because of the hard work of studying in the cold window at that time? Zhou Ruocheng hurriedly said.

"Yes, speaking of which, I remember that at that time, the imperial examination was still held once every three years, and Brother Daoming had to take the exam twice, right? Didn't get in. Zhou's mother said again.

"Huh?" Zhou Ruocheng was also stunned, Dean Qi... The dean of the National Academy even took the imperial examination for two years that year? Who will believe this?

"Three times to be exact." Qi Daoming said, "A few months before you moved here, I just failed the list, and decided to take the exam again, I was poor at that time... Coupled with the death of my mother, I became most of the valuable things in the family, and I put my mind on relying on the imperial examination, but the second time I still didn't take the exam, I remember very clearly, Brother Zhou invited me to the house, the door girl, you made green onion fried mutton, and I cried a lot. ”

"Brother Daoming, do you remember... Zhou's mother said, "That day, Lao Zhou specially bought the mutton and came back, saying that you seem to have fallen off the list, and if you want me to make a good meal, I will make it. ”

"I'm ashamed to say that I haven't been late for such a good meal since my mother died." Qi Daoming said.

"It's been seven years like this... Zhou's mother said: "I want to live very quickly... ”

"Later, Brother Zhou made a lot of money, and you moved out of the miscellaneous courtyard... Coincidentally, it was the next imperial examination, and I won the fifteenth place, the dean at that time... At that time, it was not handed over to the National Academy. . . For the sake of my diligence, he accepted me as a disciple, but he didn't expect to climb to this position for me in the end... The past is unbearable... Qi Daoming said with emotion.

"That's nice." Zhou's mother sighed with emotion: "By the way, Brother Daoming, are you married now?" ”

"I'm ashamed to say that the old man hasn't married a wife yet." Qi Daoming replied.

"Isn't it, you're such an old man, and you haven't started a family yet?" Zhou's mother asked with a puzzled expression.

"I'm sorry. The main thing is that I worked too hard at that time.,Nest yourself in the library every day.,It's been so many years.。。 Qi Daoming said, and looked at Zhou Ruocheng again, "I didn't expect your children to be so old and promising... ”

"Brother Daoming, don't say that, this kid us a lot when he was a child... Mr. always said that this kid always felt that he had left room for the exam, and thought he didn't want to be motivated. Zhou's mother began to expose Zhou Ruocheng's black history again.

"Don't say that, girl, Teacher Zhou is already very promising now, I can say that few of those talents in the general stage can really compare to Teacher Zhou." Qi Daoming patted his chest and said.

"With Brother Daoming's words, I am also very proud in my heart." Mother Zhou's eyes were crooked with a smile, "Don't call it a teacher, how can you say that you are also the elder of my kid, why do you still add a title?" Isn't it good to just call the name? ”

"This..." Qi Daoming looked at Zhou Ruocheng, "I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, right?" ”

"Uncle Qi, don't say that, you are my elder, and you are so familiar with my mother, you might as well call her kinder, if you don't follow her, maybe she will make trouble again." Zhou Ruocheng also persuaded on the side.

"Stinky boy, am I as unbearable as you say?" Zhou's mother hurriedly said.

"That..." Dean Qi looked at Zhou Ruocheng and opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say it, and he struggled for a long time before he slowly spit out two words, "Ruocheng." ”

"Eh, Uncle Qi." Zhou Ruocheng hurriedly responded.

"Okay... Good... I didn't expect that when I Qi Daoming reached this age, there would be a day when I was called uncle. Qi Daoming sighed as he spoke: "I spend my days in the air, who am I flying for?" ”

"Brother Daoming, don't chew the words, you can sit down for a while, how about eating lunch at our house today?" Zhou's mother stepped forward and said, "If you want to eat, you can order it, I will cook it myself today!" ”

"Then you're welcome." Qi Daoming was entangled for a while, and then said to Zhou's mother, "I'm going to take that dish, I think the girl should know what it is." ”

"Haha, are you still playing dumb riddles with me at this time?" Zhou's mother laughed, "I know, you wait, I'll ask someone to go to the vegetable market to buy meat!" ”

Seeing Zhou's mother walk out of the living room, there were only Zhou Ruocheng and Qi Daoming left on the sofa, and the big guys were doing what they were doing.

The two of them were also entangled for a long time, and only then did Zhou Ruocheng break the embarrassment: "I didn't expect Dean Qi, you to be so familiar with my father and mother?" ”

"Isn't that a surprise?" Qi Daoming asked.

"No, no, no, I think it's quite interesting." Zhou Ruocheng smiled bitterly: "It's been a long time since I've seen my mother so happy. It's like this every day, but today it seems to be extraordinarily cheerful. ”

"Your father... Are you okay now? Didn't he come to Shanghai with you? Qi Daoming asked.

"My father is in Jingzhou now, saying that he is reluctant to his home, and he is reluctant to come, if you go back next time, you might as well go and see him, I think my father should also be very new." Zhou Ruocheng said.

"I will." Qi Daoming nodded: "Then your mother is here because she can't rest assured of you?" ”

"Not really." Zhou Ruocheng said a little helplessly: "The main thing is to rest assured, I don't want my wife."

。。 ”

"I didn't expect your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to have such a good relationship? Qingyuan girl is really capable... Qi Daoming said again.

"That... Actually, it's not Qingyuan.。。 Ha ha. Zhou Ruocheng said with some embarrassment.

"What?" Qi Daoming was also stunned: "Then who else?" ”

Just when Zhou Ruocheng wanted to answer, it was also the familiar voice that came, "Young Master... Why didn't you greet me when there was a guest at home? ”

Zhou Ruocheng also quickly stood up and stepped forward to help Tang Yunlin. "Eh, why are you up?"

"Who is this?" Qi Daoming asked.

"This is the dean of the National Academy, an old acquaintance of my father's mother, Qi Daoming, Uncle Qi." Zhou Ruocheng introduced to Tang Yunlin.

"Slave Tang Yunlin, please say hello to Uncle Qi." Tang Yunlin was also very polite and saluted Qi Daoming.

"Eh, sit down, sit down." Qi Daoming hurriedly stood up: "Why be polite? His eyes kept looking at Tang Yunlin's stomach.

Zhou Ruocheng helped Tang Yunlin to sit down.

"How many months have you been?" Qi Daoming asked.

"It's been nine months, and I'm about to give birth." Zhou Ruocheng replied.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa." Qi Daoming felt laughed and began to say hello to Zhou Ruocheng, "Here I say hello to Ruocheng in advance... I didn't expect you to be a father.,Eh.,It seems that I'm really old.。。。 ”

"Honestly, I don't really feel real." Zhou Ruocheng also smiled bitterly, "Suddenly, he was in her mother's belly, and he was about to be born in a blink of an eye. It's a bit nervous to say. ”

"What's there to be nervous about? Look at me, I'm still a single! Qi Daoming said.

"If you don't mind, Uncle Qi, when the child is born, let him recognize you as a godfather." Zhou Ruocheng said again.

"Wrong!" Qi Daoming said.

"Huh?" Zhou Ruocheng was also stunned: "What's wrong?" ”

"How can you make a godfather? The generations are messed up! If you want to be a grandfather, you have to be a grandfather. Qi Daoming said.

Imagine the Chinese network

"Oh, yes, yes." Zhou Ruocheng laughed: "Then Uncle Qi, did you just agree?" ”

"That's ~ take it! This is the milk powder money that my godfather gave me in advance for my godgrandson. Saying that, Qi Daoming took out a gold ingot from his arms, looking at the weight, there must be fifty taels, right?

"Eh, eh, where is this!" Zhou Ruocheng hurriedly said: "When the time comes, it's not too late to wait for the child to be full moon... But Uncle Qi, I do have a reluctant request for your help. ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me about it? Qi Daoming touched his beard and asked.

"The name of this kid has not yet been decided." Zhou Ruocheng said.

"You're asking me to name this kid?" Qi Daoming was also a little surprised, and asked, "Is it appropriate for me to pick this up?" ”

"What's wrong with that?" Zhou Ruocheng smiled, "You are the child's godfather, and you are also the dean of the National Academy, so it is most appropriate for you to choose a name." ”

"That..." Qi Daoming also frowned and thought for a while: "I can't think of anything if I want to think about it at this time... Do you have any requirements? ”

"Uh... If that's really going to be said ... After all, this is my first time being a father, and I am not ready for anything, but I can guarantee that I will give my child all I can, because he is proof that I am with Yunlin! I will love him with all my love! ”

"Hmmm... In this case, if it is a boy, it is called Xinjie, the new and the old, the outstanding Jie, which means that it is the outstanding person of the new generation of the Zhou family, and it is also homophonic, which is the crystallization of the beloved person of your husband and wife. Qi Daoming said.

"Zhou Xinjie... Tang Yunlin muttered to herself: "Thank you, Uncle Qi." ”

"And what if it's a girl?" Zhou Ruocheng asked again.

"What? Do you like girls? Qi Daoming asked again.

"Not really... I like both sons and daughters, whether they are men or women, they are all children of our Zhou family. Zhou Ruocheng replied calmly.

"Haha, don't worry, I have already thought about it for you, seeing that you are so anxious, I thought that Ruo Ruocheng liked your daughter." Qi Daoming said.

"Please also ask Dean Qi for advice." Zhou Ruocheng said.

"It's called Zhou Nuotong, how about it? The promise of the promise, as for Tong... It is also a homonym, which means to love his child as his father made a promise. Qi Daoming said.

"Zhou Xinjie, Zhou Nuotong... It's all good, thank you Uncle Qi! Zhou Ruocheng was also very happy, and bowed his head.

"It's okay, if you can look up to the old man so much, the old man is also very pleased... Qi Daoming said.

"Xinjie... Or Nuo Tong... Mom and Dad are waiting for you to come out... Zhou Ruocheng put one hand on Tang Yunlin's stomach and said softly.
