131. Red envelopes
Huang Shouzhen carried a pair of expensive Wuliangye to Jinxin Huayuan, where Zhou Wentao's house was located, and then saw that even in the most central community of the county, the ground was covered with countless pieces of paper left after the fireworks bloomed.
From a distance, it seems to be on the ground, paved with a fiery red rose petal.
However, Huang Shouzhen's eyes were soon attracted by a delicate figure that could not hide even if he was wearing a down jacket.
Zhou Linlin came downstairs to pick him up in person with brisk steps, with a bright smile on her face.
"Xiao Zhen, you are still so punctual, say a few minutes, just a few minutes. ”
After hearing this, Huang Shouzhen joked with a smile: "Because this is part of professional ethics." ”
After a pause, he saw that there were cars parked on the side of the road in Zhou Linlin's house, so he asked, "Do you have a lot of guests today?"
"Ah, how do you know?" Zhou Linlin's face was full of surprise.
"Because there are a lot of cars parked next to it, if the owner of these cars doesn't stop temporarily, he should park the car in the underground parking lot, right?" Huang Shouzhen then smiled: "And this Renault is your little uncle's car, I have ridden so many times in Chuzhou City, how can I not recognize it?"
"Xiao Zhen, you should be a detective, your mind is too meticulous. Zhou Linlin said with a serious face.
"Uh...... If you want to compliment me on being careful, then I accept it, but if you really want to persuade me to become a detective, then forget it, I don't want to be in prison. ”
"Huh, what's the relationship between being a detective and being behind bars?"
"Because my country does not allow the profession of private detective to exist, have you seen too much Conan?" Huang Shouzhen couldn't help but look at Zhou Linlin for a while.
When Zhou Linlin heard Huang Shouzhen say this, her face immediately flushed with shame.
Because she really liked watching Conan when she was in middle school, she always felt that the profession of detective was universal......
It turns out that detectives are not legal in our country?
During the conversation, the two took the elevator and came to the house.
As Huang Shouzhen expected, Zhou Linlin's home on the third day of the Lunar New Year was simply overcrowded and full of people, and there were men, women and children in it.
However, there are half of the faces in it, and Huang Shouzhen knows them, and they are the families of Zhou Linlin's two aunts and the like.
"Brother Xiaozhen, Happy New Year!"
Suddenly, a crisp child's voice sounded in his ears, Huang Shouzhen followed the sound and saw a small figure walking towards him, and then greeted him affectionately.
"Xiaomeng, how are you!" Huang Shouzhen replied with a smile.
He Xiaomeng and he have long been very acquainted, after all, when he helped them decorate their home before, they often met.
Immediately, after she finished greeting He Xiaomeng, she greeted the people present one by one, as if she was a well-behaved, elegant, and polite young man.
"Xiao Zhen, this is my grandfather, next to my grandmother, and the other two are my uncle and aunt......"
On his side, while Zhou Linlin greeted him, he also introduced some people he didn't know to him in a timely manner.
"Grandparents, Happy New Year...... Auntie and uncle, how are you ......?"
After Huang Shouzhen heard Zhou Linlin's introduction, he could only call along with her, anyway, the two of them were the same age, so it didn't sound strange.
However, after Zhou Linlin's grandparents saw Huang Shouzhen, their eyes looked at him differently than other relatives.
You must know that Zhou Linlin is their sweetheart, and she was basically brought up by them when she was young, and she was very emotionally deep.
They had heard that the latter had been rescued by a descendant after accidentally falling into the reservoir, and they were very grateful and had always wanted to meet the benefactor who had saved their granddaughter's life.
It's a pity that during the summer vacation last year, both of them were not in good health, so they could only stay in the countryside to recuperate, so they didn't have the opportunity to meet Huang Shouzhen.
Fortunately, now I finally see ......
So they almost trembled their old hands, held Huang Shouzhen's hands, and then thanked him again and again.
After Huang Shouzhen felt this scene, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The old man's heartfelt gratitude, of course he can feel it, but unfortunately, he has not experienced this kind of pampering after a generation.
Hey, it's just weird, there are too many people and juniors in our old Huang family...... That's why I'm in the hearts of my grandparents, there's nothing special, right?
Unfortunately, they all passed away when I was in elementary school.
At this moment, Huang Shou was really envious of Zhou Linlin.
Because the more the two old men in front of him thanked him, the more they loved their granddaughter.
Of course, because they are old, it is not good to be too excited, so the three of them just chatted for a while, and Huang Shouzhen in turn comforted them and helped them calm down the excitement in their hearts.
But what he didn't know was that his subconscious behavior made Zhou Linlin's eyes turn red all of a sudden.
Some gentleness, perhaps the gentleness itself is not conscious, because that is already a habit and quality engraved in their bones, but as a bystander, they can often see it clearly.
And just when Zhou Linlin wanted to cry and didn't dare to cry on such a good day, Fang Mei quietly stood beside her for some time, then handed her a tissue, and said softly: "Xiao Zhen is really a good boy, no matter what he does, he always seems to be able to think very thoughtfully." ”
When Zhou Linlin heard Fang Mei say this, she nodded like garlic, and couldn't agree with it anymore in her heart.
Before she met Huang Shouzhen, she had never seen or believed that anyone could maintain a noble character and gentleness at all times like the gentleman described in the book......
But now, she felt like she had seen it with her own eyes.
And he was so close to himself, only a short step away.
......
After Zhou Linlin stayed for almost an hour, dinner time finally arrived.
However, their family was not at home, but in a hotel in the county.
Huang Shouzhen was not surprised by this way of entertaining.
Although most locals will leave it in their own homes when they invite guests, it is not impossible to leave it in a hotel.
Because anyone who has cooked knows that it is actually very tiring to cook a hearty meal at home to entertain guests.
However, what surprised him, and even a little overwhelmed, was that at the end of the dinner and when he was about to say goodbye, in addition to Zhou Wentao and his wife wrapping him a red envelope, Zhou Linlin's grandparents also prepared a red envelope for him, and no matter how he refused, the two old men were very strong and asked him to accept it.
This made Huang Shouzhen's heart can't help but have mixed feelings.
I really don't want your red envelopes!
