Rebirth alone

On the morning of the first day of the lunar new year, Zhou Ziqian took his two nephews to pay New Year's greetings to the old man. The Zhou family had many rules and respected the old man's principles. When paying New Year's greetings to the elders, Zhou Ziqian had to kneel and kowtow. The head received a generous red envelope, and then the servant gave New Year greetings to the master. The old man has always been generous to his subordinates, and the red envelopes given to the servants are not thin. Everyone is smiling and happy.

After my family’s New Year’s greetings, relatives and friends began to visit one after another. The old man and Zhou Ziqian wanted to entertain the New Year’s guests. Zhou Yunyang should do the same, but his identity was a bit embarrassing. Although he was recognized by the Zhou family, he was still a As an illegitimate child, his mother has no name and no identity, while he has no name and no identity. The identities of the two mothers are both good and bad. The attitude of the Zhou family on this matter is to not say anything, so as not to be criticized by others. I'm in poor health and young, so there's no need to mess around with me, so I can just stay cool.

Ye Tao has nothing to do, so he spends time with the old man's collection of books. When he is tired from reading, he goes to the window to relax his eyes, watching the people coming and going outside the window as if looking at the scenery, or he makes a phone call back to Beijing , to care about whether his cat is obedient or not, and whether he runs around mischievously.

Baobao originally wanted to go to Huizhou with them, but Zhou Ziqian disagreed. Ye Tao was not good at playing tricks, and Zhou Ziqian's eye attack was defeated by Zhou Ziqian's insistence on traveling far without cats, so Baobao stayed in the capital to look after the house. He lost his temper, and after Ye Tao and Zhou Ziqian left, he went on a hunger strike. He ate the whole steamed fish in one gulp after feeling dizzy and dizzy. Miserable?

At noon that day, Xiaocheng, who had resumed work, received a call from Ye Tao. Xiaocheng evaded the seriousness and said lightly: "It's pretty good, I didn't run outside."

Ye Tao said: "Tell the truth."

Xiaocheng confessed honestly: "I really didn't run out, but I always took advantage of people's attention to cause damage, either scratched a bed sheet, or picked up a plate, or just defecated everywhere. If it was mentioned, it would stick its neck and bark. Like a stubborn mouth."

Ye Tao thought in his heart: He is just talking stubbornly, and even told you to shut up after being stubborn.

Those who can do more work, Zhou Ziqian is destined to be a person who can't be idle. After eating dumplings that are broken five times, Zhou Ziqian and his father mentioned the matter of returning to Beijing. He planned to leave on the sixth day and take a day off on the seventh day. Back to work.

Guangyu's plate is too big, and Mr. Zhou retreats behind the scenes. There are no old courtiers who fought with him. Zhou Ziqian is young but has a high position. If he is not diligent and self-disciplined, he will inevitably be criticized. Mr. Zhou will not allow himself The son neglected his duty.

If it was Zhou Ziqian who was going to leave, the old man would not try to keep him, but Zhou Ziqian still brought Ye Tao with him, so the old man was a little hesitant. Ye Tao had been here for less than half a month and had been ill for nearly ten days. Not fully recovered, the old man was worried that his grandson would not be able to withstand the toss, and he would get sick again when he went back.

The old man intentionally asked Zhou Ziqian and Zhou Yunyang to go back and leave Ye Tao to stay for a longer period of time. Zhou Ziqian thought that some of the flavors in Ye Tao's medicine didn't go well with each other, and the doctors here didn't understand his situation and politely refused. The old man didn't take it seriously: "Then let the doctor bring the medicine over."

Zhou Ziqian glanced at Ye Tao, and finally admitted with a wry smile: "I'm afraid you won't be able to stand up to him, and let him do everything according to his temperament. He lived with you for a month the winter before last, and he always went out arguing after he returned. Let him go out without taking medicine, let you take him for a month, and go back for three months, I dare not let you take him."

Ye Tao muttered in a low voice: "You agreed not to sue me, why don't you count your words?"

Mr. Zhou, who was always unsmiling, was amused: "Stupid boy, why don't you tell yourself? Now that grandpa's ignorance has been confirmed, how can you let grandpa keep you?"

Ye Tao opened his mouth, with a look of distress, and he was relieved.

The father and son re-discussed about Ye Tao's going to stay, and finally decided that they would go together, and the day of returning to Beijing was postponed until the tenth day of the lunar new year, so that Ye Tao could take care of him again, and then toss when he was consolidated.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the guests who came to the house were finally entertained. Zhou Ziqian could spend two days in peace, but the old man did not see anyone idle, and assigned him a new task. The housekeepers have already visited almost all of them, and Zhou Ziqian is responsible for the "relatives and friends" who need to be present as well as others.

The family Zhou Ziqian was going to visit today was named Guan, and the head of the family, Guan Jinrong, was old Zhou's old friend. He was in business, but his father and brother had military and political backgrounds, so he was worth making friends with.

Guan Jinrong is older than Zhou Ziqian, and he is almost at the age of 16, but he pays more attention to self-cultivation. He seems to be in his early thirties. He speaks and behaves elegantly and calmly. The man's married life was not going well. Both marriages ended in failure, and his knees were still weak. He only adopted a [-]-year-old boy. It is said that this child had saved Guan Jinrong's life. But quite deep.

Guan Jinrong easily refused to keep guests, but he had a close personal relationship with Mr. Zhou. Zhou Ziqian came here on behalf of his father. It was a little late, so he didn't go to the second family he wanted to visit. The early end of the trip made him return home at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Elder Zhou was practicing calligraphy in the study. Zhou Ziqian said hello to his father first, and went upstairs when he had nothing to do. Ye Tao had to take a nap every winter and summer. Qian didn't know if his nephew got up, so he deliberately slowed down his steps, and when he put one hand on the doorknob, he heard faint voices coming from the room, and the resentful question made Zhou Ziqian suddenly stop in his tracks.

Ye Tao has been up for a while, seeing the sunshine outside the house and the rare warm weather, he thought of the yard to get some fresh air, but when he left the house, he met Zhou Yunyang who came back from the outside. The two had been in peace for a long time. As usual, even if we go to meet each other, it’s just a simple greeting or a nod, and then pass by, but today is different, or Zhou Yunyang’s usual mood is different from that during the Spring Festival. Others are happy during the New Year, but he is depressed every Spring Festival nest fire.

Although Zhou Yunyang bears the identity of the young grandson of the Zhou family, the servants who come in and out always call him young master Yunyang, but after all, the illegitimate child is a good-looking identity, and the Zhou family always weakens his existence intentionally or unintentionally. He couldn't even enter the banquet, and this happened again today. Zhou Yunyang is better at forbearance than his peers, but forbearance and indifference are two different things. Tolerance is unbearable to a certain extent. He can't be angry in public, he can only vent outside.

Zhou Yunyang also came back after drinking. He should have tried not to disturb his family and quietly went back to his room to rest, but when he saw Ye Tao nodding his head indifferently, he wanted to walk away. With anger, he involuntarily stopped him.

They are all father's children, so why should he be loved by thousands of people, but he himself is not as good as others?Why did he retreat after provoking him by saying "Let's be brothers."Why should all the injustices and disadvantages be my own? !

The two of them were not congenial, and Zhou Yunyang was full of alcohol, Ye Tao didn't want to break up with him, Zhou Yunyang blocked the way and wouldn't let him go, so he turned and went back, but Zhou Yunyang broke in before he could lock it.
