Chapter 38: The Forgotten Man
Zhou Zheng left the bathroom, and the sound of Tang Guo coming out of the bath came from inside.
"Mr. Donald, it's done. Zhou Zheng saw Tang Wanjun, who was pacing and rubbing his hands in the living room, and said with a smile.
"Really? It's really good, Zhou Zheng Xiaoyou is my Tang family's great benefactor!" Tang Wanjun was very moved, and was about to give Zhou Zheng a big gift, but was supported by Zhou Zheng.
"Ahh
Tang Wanjun was startled and hurriedly trotted over. Zhou Zheng also followed.
When he came to the bathroom, Tang Guo had already put on a loose bathrobe, covering his small mouth, staring at the bathtub with big eyes.
The previously clear water had turned black, and the precious medicinal herbs were floating on the surface of the water like shriveled turnips.
"Little girl, how long has it been since you took a bath? Look at the dirty water. Zhou Zheng made a joke, and Tang Guo was about to hit him angrily, but his body was weak and he was supported by Zhou Zheng.
"This is the toxin in Tang Guo's body!" Rao is Tang Wanjun has been fighting horses all his life, and he has seen countless big scenes, and he is inevitably shocked at this moment. It's more of a fear.
Zhou Zheng nodded, hugged Tang Guo out of the bathroom, and sat on the sofa in the living room. Tang Guo got on the sofa, leaned on the back of the sofa, and rested with his legs.
Her complexion had turned from flushed to pale, and her body seemed to be very cold, shivering slightly, looking sick.
"Does Mr. Tang have jade at home?"
Hearing Zhou Zheng's words, Tang Wanjun hurriedly went to fetch more than a dozen kinds of jade or jade.
"Are these enough? If these are not enough, I will contact a few old comrades-in-arms to send them over. ”
Zhou Zheng waved his hand to indicate that it was enough.
He picked out a piece of nephrite with a mild texture and poured it into the True Yuan, allowing Tang Guo to hold it on his chest.
Her condition has improved significantly, and her complexion has regained somewhat.
"Zhou Zheng Xiaoyou is really a master in the world! I'm afraid that his status among the monks is not inferior to that of the martial arts master!"
Grandmaster is generally a martial artist's honorific title for a master of the transformation realm. This kind of person is rare in the whole of China.
Zhou Zheng didn't care about Tang Wanjun's compliments, but became a little interested in the few pieces of jade on the table.
He couldn't tell what it was, but he felt that he had an inexplicable affinity for these pieces of jade.
"Mr. Tang, what is the origin of these jades, is it convenient to talk about them?"
Tang Wanjun picked up one of the pieces, "This is something that an old comrade-in-arms from the South China Theater sent to me a few days ago, saying that it was discovered by the unit during field special operations training. Knowing that the old chief liked jade, he gave it to him. ”
"He sent several pieces of this broken jade, and there was a piece of better texture, so I gave it to my niece and granddaughter as a gift the day before yesterday. I'll keep the rest for myself. ”
"If Zhou Zheng Xiaoyou likes it, just take it. And if you have any needs in the future, you can also mention them to me. Where the ability is reached, it is incumbent. ”
Zhou Zheng thought thoughtfully, "It's not that this jade is so expensive, I believe you also know how to do it." I just feel that these jades have an inexplicable sense of familiarity. ”
"Should I call you Brother Baoyu in the future?" Tang Guo recovered well, and smiled playfully after hearing Zhou Zheng's words.
Zhou Zheng remembered what Tang Wanjun said just now, "The piece you gave to your niece and granddaughter, can you take the time to let me take a look?"
Tang Wanjun nodded, "Of course, it's okay to take a look." But it's not convenient for me to come back, not because of how expensive, but because it was given to her as a token of engagement. ”
Zhou Zheng nodded, "It's okay, I'll just take a look." ”
When the two of them talked about this, Tang Guo came to the end and sat up straight. "Grandpa, are you really not going to care about this?"
Tang Wanjun's old face had an unnatural look, "Tang Guo, what did you say?"
Tang Guo snorted lightly and hugged his arms.
"Sister Yan doesn't like the Chen family at all, they won't be happy together. You are unreasonable as elders. ”
"Tang Guo, it's an adult's business, children are not allowed to talk nonsense!"
Tang Wanjun seemed to be really angry, which startled Tang Guo and didn't dare to say anything more. Obviously, the tutoring is still very strict.
Zhou Zheng listened to these words, but his heart was chuckled.
He has been in Haicheng for so many days that he almost forgot about someone.
"Sister Yan?"
Tang Wanjun and Tang Guo both looked at Zhou Zheng in surprise and said in unison. "You know her?"
Zhou Zheng nodded, remembering what happened on the train, the two men in black and sunglasses who were knocked down by him at that time seemed to be on the order of a young master Chen to pick up Tang Yan.
He was not a real chivalrous act that time, because of the disdainful attitude of the two of them, as well as the sentence of migrant workers, which made Zhou Zheng, who was already in a bad mood because of the loss of Meng Li, angry.
From childhood to adulthood, although he was born in a wealthy family, Zhou Zheng has always been taught by Zhou Guofeng that he cannot forget his roots.
The ancestors of the Zhou family have always been poor peasants. Zhou Zheng's great-grandfather, Zhou Laozu, protected the peace of the prime minister, who was also from a poor family, and established New China, which moved the Quartet.
Now that the family business is big, the Zhou family has never looked down on the farmers.
As for Zhou Zheng himself, the two best friends he met in high school, Huang Shenglong and Wu Chuge, were also from farmers.
So since the train said goodbye that day, Zhou Zheng didn't remember Tang Yan anymore, and his business card should still be in the pocket of the old clothes he changed at home.
If it weren't for the chance to get acquainted with Tang Wanjun and Tang Guo, Zhou Zheng thought that he and Tang Yan would never have crossed paths again in the future.
"I had a relationship with her. ”
"Is it just a one-sided relationship?" Tang Wanjun listened, obviously having some doubts.
Zhou Zheng smiled lightly, "What, doesn't Mr. Tang still want me to have something else to do with her?"
Tang Wanjun was stunned for a moment, smiled too, and quickly waved his hand.
"Zhou Zheng Xiaoyou is a peerless genius with an unlimited future, and Xiaoyan is not worthy of you. ”
"It's not a question of worthiness or not, feelings depend on fate, and there are many times when you can't force them. That's all I say, Mr. Donald thinks about it for himself. ”
As he spoke, Zhou Zheng stood up. "I'll leave today, let Tang Guo have a good rest!"
Zhou Zheng touched Tang Guo's little brain melon and got up to say goodbye.
Tang Wanjun called the two guards, sent Zhou Zheng away, went back to the house to ponder his words, and sighed.
Tang Yan is the daughter of the second nephew in his second brother Tang Wansheng's family, and now that Tang Wansheng is no longer alive, although the two nephews of his family respect themselves as the third uncle, how can they really listen to him?
The more big families like them, every other generation, the relationship between cousins and cousins is weakened, but it is far more than ordinary families.
Especially their Haicheng Tang family, even more so.
His generation is the pinnacle of the past 100 years. Tang Wanhua, Tang Wansheng, Tang Wanjun, one family and three giants, but they chose three completely different lives, so that there was little contact between the younger generations.
Tang Wanjun turned his head to look at Tang Guo who was nesting on the sofa, his favorite granddaughter.
Thinking of Zhou Zheng's loving attitude towards her, Tang Wanjun couldn't help but make the common mistake of the elderly, and sighed secretly in his heart.
"Tang Guo, it would have been nice if you had been born a few years earlier. ”
