This group of younger brothers and sisters are all gathered in front of the big color TV in the living room at this time,The eldest is Zhou Qian, the eldest daughter of the uncle's family,Just admitted to university this year,Study history at the local Jinling Normal University,Because she is the largest,So the remote control of the TV is also in her hands at this time。

The youngest is Zhou Qing, the youngest daughter of the third uncle Zhou Yaozu's family, who has just entered elementary school.

"Third brother."

The rules of the Zhou family are serious, and as soon as Zhou Yan entered the door, the children greeted him respectfully, including Zhou Qing.

Most of these younger brothers and sisters have never seen Zhou Yan much, especially the two younger ones of the third uncle Zhou Yaozu's family, when Zhou Yan left here, Zhou Qing had not yet given birth, and Zhou Yun was only two or three years old.

So Zhou Yan is a bit mysterious to them.

"Hello everyone." Zhou Yan responded to them with a smile.

This is the house of the old couple, the area of the house is not small, there are more than 80 square meters.

At this time, many houses like to design the bedroom to be very large, but the kitchen and bathroom hall are very small, but this house is not, the three bedrooms are small, and most of the area is used for the kitchen and living room.

The living room is divided into two areas, one for watching TV, a sofa and one for TV, which is occupied by the children.

The other area is similar to the "meeting area", a set of chairs, a coffee table, and the adult men of the Zhou family are all there.

It stands to reason that the younger ones have greeted Zhou Yan, and Zhou Yan is going to greet the elders at this time, but Zhou Yan just nodded over there, which can be regarded as a greeting.

The key is a group of smoking guns over there, the smoke is like a fairyland, and Zhou Yan really doesn't want to go over.

If it was other children like this, they would definitely be reprimanded in person, but Zhou Yan's situation was different after all, grandpa Zhou Minnong didn't blame, and waved at him with a smile, "Zhou Yan, come here." ”

The old man spoke, Zhou Yan naturally wanted to give face, he nodded and walked towards the "meeting area", but he was cut off by the old lady halfway.

Grandma Zhou Yan came out of the kitchen and grabbed Zhou Yan's hand, "Our third child is back." ”

The third is Zhou Yaozu, so Zhou Yan can only be the third child.

Zhou Yan smiled secretly, fortunately, an old word was added in the middle, otherwise it would not sound good.

In front of the old man, Zhou Yan was able to adapt to his identity faster, he bent down slightly, and said with a smile, "Grandma, I'm back, how are you lately?" ”

"Good, good, you're back, everything is fine. Let me see, you seem to have been dark lately. ”

It may be that she hasn't seen Zhou Yan for too long, the old lady grabbed Zhou Yan's hand and was unwilling to let go, and her other hand followed Zhou Yan's head, just like a cat.

The old man Zhou Minnong couldn't stand it anymore, "How old is the person, still touch his head, let him come over." ”

"You person, I touched my grandson's head, you have said it." After glancing at the old man, the old lady smiled and said to Zhou Yan, "Grandma made you your favorite braised fish, eat well at night, you see how thin you are." You go sit with your grandfather and them for a while, and I'll get busy. ”

"Grandma, you're busy."

When the old lady returned to the kitchen, Zhou Yan walked to the "meeting hall".

The Zhou family is a typical traditional Chinese family, where children play, women cook, and men smoke and talk.

The adult men of their family have all arrived, and the seating order is also very clear, and Zhou Yan's position is next to his brother Zhou Hong.

After Zhou Yan sat down, Zhou Yu, the lobby brother, pushed the cigarette case on the coffee table in front of Zhou Yan with a smile across Zhou Hong in the middle, "Third child, do you smoke?" ”

Zhou Yan smiled and waved his hand, "I haven't learned it yet." ”

Zhou Yu quipped, "Do you still have to learn this thing?" ”

Third Uncle Zhou Yaozu spit out a cigarette and said with a serious expression, "It's right not to smoke, but smoking is still bad for your health." ”

"That's true." Uncle Zhou Yaohua also took a sip, "Let's quit when we find time." ”

"Dad, you said you wanted to quit last year." Zhou Yu revealed the short track.

"Everything should be done gradually, not in a hurry." Zhou Yaohua looked at Zhou Yan again and changed the topic, "Xiaoyan, I heard Qing'er say, you have only been back for two days, why are you so late this year?" ”

"Something is delayed."

Zhou Yan didn't want to explain more, but Zhou Yaowen, who was sitting opposite, snorted from his nose, "He got a job." ”

"Work?" Zhou Yaohua looked surprised, and the expressions of the others were similar.

"I got a part-time job as a soundtrack." Zhou Yan said.

The third uncle, Zhou Yaozu, asked, "Don't delay your studies, right?" ”

Zhou Yaowen sneered, "Study? He's been on leave for almost a year. If I hadn't called the school, I wouldn't have known about it. ”

Zhou Yan pulled the corners of his mouth, this old Zhou is going to give him the rhythm of the criticism meeting.

Zhou Yan didn't tell Zhou Yaowen about the suspension of school, which probably made Zhou Yaowen very angry. In Zhou Yaowen's opinion, he is Lao Tzu, Zhou Yan is a son, such a big thing, not to mention asking him, at least notifying.

Zhou Yaowen still heard this from the head of the department, and of course he couldn't save face.

In fact, Zhou Yaowen originally cared about Zhou Yan very much, especially knowing that Zhou Yan was suspended from school because of illness, he thought about how to contact Zhou Yan to ask about the situation, but as soon as they met, he couldn't suppress his temper, and Lao Tzu's posture of training his son was taken out again.

The old man Zhou Minnong said with concern: "Why did you suspend school, did you encounter something?" ”

"It's okay grandpa, I had a little illness, but now I'm fine." Zhou Yan replied with a smile.

Zhou Minnong naturally knew that it couldn't be a minor illness, otherwise it wouldn't be to the point of suspending school, but Zhou Yan didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask any questions, mainly because Zhou Yan looked more energetic now than the last time they met.

Their Zhou family seems to have a lot of rules, but they still get along very freely, and Zhou Minong is separated from Zhou Yan after all, and his requirements for Zhou Yan are naturally different from those he had for his sons back then.

"Okay, as for part-time work, it's okay to enter the social exercise in advance, but you must not fall behind in your studies. If there are any financial difficulties, there is nothing difficult to talk to the elders. If you just want to work part-time to earn money, it will not be worth the loss. ”

"Thank you, grandpa, I don't have any financial problems for the time being."

The old man has spoken, and Zhou Yaowen naturally won't say anything more, the criticism meeting has not started, even if this matter is revealed first.

Zhou Yu said curiously, "Third child, what soundtrack do you give?" Is it a TV series or what? ”

"Movie."

"What movie?"

"The red lantern is hanging high, and it hasn't been released yet."

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "I know this movie, the director is Zhang Yimou, I saw the news in the newspaper before." Zhang Yimou is now an international director, and if you can cooperate with him, you kid can. ”

"I am the assistant of the soundtrack, and the main job is done by Mr. Zhao Jiping."

They may have heard of Zhang Yimou, but Zhao Jiping is not very familiar with it. Zhou Yu didn't care about these either, he asked again, "Then have you been to the set?"

"I've been."

"Then you've seen Gong Li, she is the heroine of this movie."

"Yes." Zhou Yan nodded, he and Gong Li had not only met, but also acted together.

"Isn't it pretty?"

"Pretty."

"Is it tall?"

"High."

Because of the role of "Jiu'er" in "Red Sorghum", Gong Li has become a well-known female star, and she is now more well-known than Zhang Yimou, a real star.

Although Zhou Yu is the grandson of the Zhou family, he is only in his twenties after all, and it is normal for him to be curious about big stars.

His son Zhou Yaohua frowned beside him and said, "You usually watch less of these entertainment news, and you have time to read more books and enrich yourself." ”

Zhou Yu shouted, "Dad, the nature of my work, watching entertainment news, is also needed for work." ”

In fact, this is not true, Zhou Yu works in the "Yangtze Evening News", and the content of the "Yangtze Evening News" is relatively miscellaneous, from the national to the people's livelihood, everything is available, so Zhou Yu usually comes into contact with a wide range of news.

"Ask if the female star is beautiful, tall or not, and it is also needed for work?" Zhou Yaohua teased.

"Isn't that what we're talking about...... The third child, you have a good mix, and when you get acquainted with celebrities in the future, make an appointment with our newspaper for an exclusive interview. Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Zhou Yan nodded, "I work hard." ”

"Haha, I'm kidding you, you study hard."

……

When Zhou Yan first came, everyone's attention was on him, and after a while, they continued the previous topic.

In a family like theirs, there are a lot of things about people's livelihood policies, medical care and education, and Zhou Yan listened silently on the side, and did not take the initiative to speak.

The other one who didn't speak was Zhou Hong, in fact, from the time Zhou Yan entered the door to the present, he hadn't heard Zhou Hong speak.

This made Zhou Yan a little surprised, Zhou Hong when he was a child really didn't like to talk. But now that Zhou Hong is assisting Zhou Yaowen in taking care of his family's business, it stands to reason that people who often deal with business will not be so dull.

It wasn't until the old lady and they had dinner and the meeting in the council area that Zhou Hong whispered next to Zhou Yan, "Just come back." ”

From Zhou Hong's words, Zhou Yan heard the concern, and he also replied with a greeting, "How are you doing lately?" ”

Zhou Hong glanced at Zhou Yan unexpectedly, probably not expecting Zhou Yan to say this, and then he nodded, "Everything is fine." ”

……

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Zhou Yan was being "interrogated" by the old lady and her two aunts.

"Got a girlfriend?"

"Do you have a crush on anyone?"

"Is the girl you used to see in elementary school still in touch?"

……

The topics that female comrades care about are completely different from those of male comrades, if it weren't for Zhou Yan still in school, it is estimated that the two aunts would have already begun to find a partner for him.

Halfway through, the ninth sister Zhou Qing came over with two flowers and gently pulled Zhou Yan's sleeve, "Third brother, can you accompany us to set off fireworks?" ”

Not far away, several younger brothers and sisters looked over this side expectantly, Zhou Qing should have been sent by them.

They were still a little afraid of Zhou Yan, so they sent the ninth sister, the youngest and the most cute, and they would definitely not be beaten.

Zhou Yan is still worried that he can't find a reason to get out of the sea of suffering, so he can't sleep on the pillow.

He hurriedly stood up, waved his big hand, and smiled arrogantly, "Let's go, the third brother will take you to bomb the street." ”
