Guardian [Rebirth]
Chapter 50 Another New Year
The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the students are a little impetuous.
Li Tao was lying on the table reading a book. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the new watch on Yu Shulin's wrist, and squinted his eyes: "The watch is beautiful."
Yu Shulin was stunned, raised his left wrist and shook it, and said with a smile: "Thank you, the neighbor brother gave it to me, and said it was a New Year's gift for me in advance."
"Then your brother is very generous." The latest model of the Guerra family, which is equivalent to nearly [-] RMB, is really generous.
"Is it very expensive?" Yu Shulin was puzzled: "But my brother said it was very cheap."
Thinking of the millions of watches at home, Li Tao pondered for a while, then went back to read the book again: "It's not expensive, it's relatively expensive for students."
For students?Thinking of the more than 1000-yuan watch he used before, Yu Shulin touched the new watch on his wrist and nodded in agreement: "A watch of more than 1 yuan is indeed relatively expensive."
"..." More than 1 yuan?Li Tao glanced at his wrist and lowered his eyes.
Yu Shulin took the first place in the final exam. In order to reward him, Liang Zhou personally cooked a meal for him. As for the taste... It's all about the heart, the heart, don't pay too much attention to the details.
When the winter vacation homework is about to be finished, the New Year finally comes.
On New Year's Eve, Yu Shulin happily accompanied Liang Zhou to Zhou's old house to have a reunion dinner with the New Year's gift.
"Very happy?" Liang Zhou glanced at him, took the gift in his hand and put it on the back seat of the car, and helped him fasten his seat belt.
Yu Shulin was a little embarrassed. He was really looking forward to going to Zhou's house for a reunion dinner. The feeling of a family gathering together to chat and laugh was so fascinating.He tidied up his scarf, covered the corners of his mouth, and said in a disguised way: "If you have a red envelope, take it."
Liang Zhou smiled, reached out and rubbed his hair, "Stupid."
There was a lively scene in the courtyard. Zhou He did not play firecrackers this year, but stuck to the Spring Festival couplets with Zhou Qi honestly. The elders set up a table in the yard, and uncle Zhou Qingren and two aunts were rubbing hands with a strange man. Playing mahjong, Uncle Zhou Qinghe and the old man are playing chess, the old lady is holding Zhou Shi and talking affectionately, the atmosphere is full of warmth.
Seeing Liang Zhou and Yu Shulin walking over together, Zhou He cheered, and instead of helping Zhou lift up the ladder, he ran over and said loudly, "Brother, Happy New Year, I wish you all the best, good health and safety." After making a bow, he smiled and stretched out his hand: "Red envelope, red envelope, take it quickly."
"As long as you are impatient, you say the same thing every year without changing the words." Liang Zhou said, handing him the prepared red envelope with a smile in his eyes.
"New Year's greetings are not the same, what to choose." After receiving the red envelope, Zhou He became fat, ignored him, and went to see Yu Shulin: "Shulin, I got a new computer, and it runs games very fast, so you should go buy it soon." One, let's play the same game, I'll take you!"
"Okay." Yu Shulin nodded with a smile, lowered his head and rummaged through the things he was carrying, found a box and handed it to him: "Here, New Year's gift."
"Huh? You prepared a gift for me?" This was a surprise, Zhou He grinned silly, took the box and opened it, cheering: "Shu Lin, you are the best! I have wanted this model for a long time, I love you Aww!"
Yu Shulin smiled and dodged his bear hug, squinting his eyes and smiling happily.In fact, after receiving the glorious year-end dividend, he started planning to prepare New Year's gifts for Zhou's family.He always wants to repay the kindness of others to him.
Zhou Qi posted the banner, got down from the ladder, and scolded with a smile: "You son of a bitch, don't care about your cousin's life and death, just go get the red envelope, and I won't give you the lucky money this year."
"Hmph, grab it if you don't give it to me." Zhou He was triumphant.
"Okay, don't stand outside, everyone is waiting in the yard." Zhou Qi greeted Liang Zhou and the two, moved the ladder aside, led the two inside, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Shi took When the boyfriend comes back, uncle and the others are accompanying him."
Liang Zhou nodded, expressing his understanding.
After entering the hospital, it was inevitable to exchange pleasantries again. After Yu Shulin got the red envelopes from everyone, he took out the gifts he had prepared and distributed them to everyone with embarrassment.
The old man got tea leaves, the old lady got three delicate hand-embroidered handkerchiefs, uncle Zhou Qinghe and younger uncle Zhou Qingren got tie clips, the two aunts got cashmere scarves, Zhou Kai got a pen, Zhou Shi is young and beautiful, and likes platinum jewelry, so what she gave was a bracelet.
No matter how much the gift is worth, this kind of heart alone is hard to come by.The Zhou family were all stunned after receiving the gift, and the eyes they looked at Yu Shulin became more tender.This child prepares different gifts for everyone, so it can be seen that he has put a lot of thought into it... He is a good boy.
Liang Zhou accompanied him all the way, noticing the gentle change in his family's attitude towards Yu Shulin, a clear smile appeared on his face.
The old lady likes these embroidered things. The three handkerchiefs are very delicate. She likes them very much at first glance. She held them in her hands and looked at them over and over again, boasting: "Shulin is sensible. This gift is prepared with all my heart. Zhouzhou you every year It's too perfunctory to mention the same thing, or grandma won't like you."
Liang Zhou glanced sideways at Yu Shulin, smiled and said, "I will definitely prepare well next year, and try to make grandma fall in love with me again."
The crowd laughed.
Everyone was talking together, and the mahjong and chess games had already parted.Even the most serious Mr. Zhou surrounded him and asked about Yu Shulin's grades. When he learned that he was the first in the grade, he gently praised "Not bad", and then scolded Zhou and the other students with a straight face. pause.
Zhouhe received a gift he liked, and this reprimand was completely painless to him at the time. He played with the model and winked at Yu Shulin while listening, and said thank you with his mouth.
Zhou Shi directly put on the bracelet, pulled past the strange man who had been smiling and listening to everyone's words, waved to Yu Shulin, and said with a smile: "Shulin, thank you for your gift, I like it very much. This is my boyfriend Li Zhong, you can just call him Brother Li, Li Zhong, this is my cousin Yu Shulin, you have to give him a big red envelope."
"That's natural." Li Zhong nodded with a smile, took out a red envelope from his pocket, handed it to Yu Shulin, and said kindly: "Shulin, we will be a family in the future, you can help me more when your sister Say good things in front of me, but she hasn't agreed to my marriage proposal yet."
"What are you talking about in front of the children!" Zhou Shi smiled and thumped him, grabbed the red envelope from his hand and stuffed it into Yu Shulin's hand, saying, "He just likes talking nonsense, don't pay attention to him."
"Thank you Brother Li." Yu Shulin thanked with a smile, and was very happy to see Zhou Shi and Li Zhong sweet.This Li Zhong is gentle and handsome, standing with the beautiful and gentle Zhou Shi, it is very suitable.
After the lively greetings, everyone sat in the main room, chatting while waiting for the banquet to start.
The Zhou family asked about Li Zhong's family situation clearly. After learning that he was a child of the Li family from a medical family, the old man's expression changed and he glanced at Zhou Shi.
Zhou Shi smiled and blinked, full of coquettishness and cunning.
The eldest aunt pinched Zhou Shi directly, and looked at her complainingly.This child, if you fall in love, you fall in love. Why have you kept hiding the family background of your partner, and now you caught them by surprise and almost neglected him.
Although the Li family, like the Zhou family, is a family with a bit of background, the Zhou family is not prosperous, and they don't like to toss about these powers to plan anything. They have always lived a very low-key life. Only the youngest son, Zhou Qingren, was still working in the officialdom, and the eldest son, Zhou Qinghe, had joined the business early on, and was doing well in the mall.
When it comes to the grandchildren, Zhou Qi wants to inherit Zhou Qinghe's family business. Zhou He is not a good person, and he probably won't enter the officialdom in the future. Zhou Shi is a girl, so it's good to enjoy the blessings. His grandson Liang Zhou is also in business. In one generation, the Zhou family will be completely out of officialdom.
The Li family is different. Because of the business they do, there are still many people in the officialdom, and there is a faint trend of getting better and better.
Yu Shulin was stunned when he heard that, and looked up and down the gentle and smiling Li Zhong several times, but still couldn't believe that he was actually a forensic doctor.Didn't you say that the family runs a hospital? Why did you go to forensic medicine?
"This is the Li family's way of training children, just like my father asked me to act." Liang Zhou explained in a low voice, stroking his head: "Shu Lin doesn't have to worry about this, you can do whatever you want in the future, and I support you you."
"Yeah." Yu Shulin nodded, but his heart became bewildered.What he wants to do in the future, he really hasn't thought about it. His biggest wish right now is to be admitted to university, but after he is admitted to university, what major should he study?
After getting a good understanding, uncle Zhou Qinghe changed the subject, and said to Zhou Qi: "My younger sister has brought someone home. As the eldest son, you are still single until now. Does it make sense?"
I knew it would be like this... Zhou Qi said helplessly, "I'm busy."
"What are you busy with? Is it difficult to take care of the branch I entrusted to you? No need to explain, I will arrange a blind date for you in the next year." Zhou Qinghe frowned.
Zhou Shi saw that her elder brother had a bitter face, and smiled: "Dad, don't let my brother go on a blind date, or the girl he is chasing will really run away."
The eldest aunt's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and asked hurriedly: "Xiaoshi, what you said is true? Does your brother have a girl he likes? Which family is it from? Is her personality good? What job do you do? Xiaoqi, you too Why don't you tell mom if you have a girl you like, mom won't stop you from falling in love like a feudal patriarch, as long as the girl has a good personality, her family background doesn't matter."
Zhou Qi, who was betrayed by his younger sister, hurriedly said: "Mom, I haven't written my horoscope yet. What are you asking so much for?" He originally wanted to wait until the relationship was stable after he had chased him down, before telling his family about this, but now... unwise.
Zhou Shi's own feelings are complete, and she was happy to see Zhou Qi's jokes. Pulupulu broke the news: "My brother likes my classmate, Wen's, named Wenqi, who studies law, and has a more lively personality."
The eldest aunt was taken aback: "Wen family? Which Wen family?"
"Just the writer who runs the antique shop."
Open an antique store?The eldest aunt finally came to her senses, and then smiled even more happily: "Then Xiao Qi, you have to chase after her harder. The Wen family is a scholarly family, and the juniors are very gentle and courteous, not bad."
The expressions of Mr. Zhou and Zhou Qinghe also softened, and they were very satisfied with the other half chosen by Zhou Shi and Zhou Qi.The old lady directly pulled Zhou Shi to ask about the girl's situation in detail, and planned to invite the girl to come to her house to play when she was free.
Listening to their discussion, Zhou Qi rubbed his forehead and sighed. As far as Wen Qi's fiery and straightforward character was concerned, it had nothing to do with being gentle and courteous. His mother might be disappointed.
Zhou Qinghe was in a good mood, and glanced at Liang Zhou, who was talking to Yu Shulin, and said suddenly: "Since Zhou Qi has a girl he likes, let Zhou Zhou go on a blind date, you are not young, you should consider Take a look at these."
As soon as these words came out, Liang Zhou and Yu Shulin were all stunned.How did this topic get here?
The old lady was also taken aback, and then nodded: "That's right, Zhouzhou is 24, and has been busy with work, so I don't have time to arrange these things. As uncles, you need to help make more arrangements."
"Don't worry, mom, we'll remember it all." Zhou Qingren said, frowning and thinking for a while, and suggested: "The eldest daughter of the Zhou family seems to be 22. I heard that she has a good personality and her family relationship is simple. You can try it."
"But that wife of the Zhou family is very powerful, that's not good." The little aunt frowned, not very satisfied with the candidate chosen by her husband.
"What about the Cao family? The second child, 23 this year, is studying abroad. I heard that he has a good temper." The aunt interjected.
Zhou Qinghe shook his head: "No, no one knows that the two brothers of the Cao family don't have a good relationship, and there are a bunch of messy relatives in his family, no way."
"The Wu family..."
Everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized. Immediately, you talked about each other, and even Li Zhong said a few words, and the atmosphere became more lively for a while.
Yu Shulin was confused while listening to their discussion.My brother doesn't like girls, what should I do?The family is having a hard time...
Liang Zhou patted him comfortingly, and said calmly, "I'll find my other half by myself."
There was silence, everyone stopped discussing, and all their eyes fell on him. Liang Zhou put the peeled almonds in Yu Shulin's hands, looked up and said, "Don't mention the blind date, I won't go, I will find my love by myself."
Is it okay to talk to elders like that?Yu Shulin became anxious and pulled his hand.
The old lady was the first to look back and nodded: "That's all right, I'll listen to Zhou Zhou. The kitchen should be almost ready, let's eat."
Everyone got up when they heard the words, and walked towards the set round table, as if the topic of blind date had never come up before.
what's the situation?
Yu Shulin was stunned, he was let go so easily... It's unscientific, that's not how he acted in the TV series he watched with Aunt Liu!
"Don't think about it." Liang Zhou nodded his forehead amusedly, pulled him up and walked towards the round table: "Auntie Liu will let you watch TV with her in the future, it's fine, don't believe it."
"..."
Seeing that he lowered his head and scratched his face and didn't speak, he knew he was shy. Liang Zhou paused, did not continue the topic of TV series, and explained: "Grandma and the others are very open-minded. If I don't like it, they won't force it."
"Then..." He carefully scanned the people in front and behind, leaned over and whispered: "Then what will you do when you come out of the closet, grandma and the others..."
"It's enough to grind, I'll accept it." Liang Zhou was very sure, when Yu Shulin was a little older, he would confess to his family, but the most important thing was to catch him first.
Yu Shulin was still worried, frowning and muttering: "It's really that simple."
"Don't think about it." Liang Zhou looked at him, patted his head, his eyes were full of tenderness.
After passing the family's eyes, Zhou Shi and Li Zhong's engagement date was quickly set.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Yu Shulin asked the school for leave in advance, and went to the hotel with Liang Zhou.
Originally, the two families planned to hold that kind of traditional engagement banquet, but Zhou Shi and Li Zhong didn't want to trouble, so they simplified the procedure and chose a hotel for the engagement venue.
Yu Shulin tugged on his bow tie uncomfortably, and followed Liang Zhou to get out of the car.He seldom wears formal clothes, and he is not used to it for a while.
"Don't talk, be careful that it's crooked." Liang Zhou held him down, helped him straighten the bow tie, looked carefully, and saw that there was nothing wrong, then led him into the hotel and went to the fifth-floor hall where the banquet was held.
There were a lot of people present, so Liang Zhou first took Yu Shulin to greet Zhou's elders, and then took him to meet some familiar elders, and then avoided those who came to greet each other, and found a place to sit , waiting for the engagement ceremony to begin.
It wasn't until this moment that Yu Shulin realized deeply that the Zhou family and the Li family might not only be rich...the people here are all very powerful.He turned his head to look at Liang Zhou, who looked extraordinarily handsome and capable in a formal suit beside him, feeling a little dazed.
Such an excellent person actually became his brother, the fate is amazing.
Although the engagement ceremony was simplified, it took almost two hours after the whole process.After the ceremony, Liang Zhou was hurriedly pulled away by Zhou Qi. Yu Shulin stayed alone with nothing to do, surrounded by people he didn't know, so he went to the lounge by himself, and planned to go back together after Liang Zhou was done. Home.
There are several semi-open lounges next to the banquet hall. He picked one in the corner, walked in, threw himself onto the sofa, and became dazed.After a few sips of wine, his mind started to get confused, and finally he tilted his head and fell asleep.
He was woken up by voices, the voices sounded familiar, like Liang Zhou and Ling Chun's.
At the entrance of the lounge, Zhou Qi patted Liang Zhou's shoulder with some headaches, and persuaded: "Don't be angry, I don't know why that family came here, it's too strange, they obviously didn't know your existence, back then After the incident, his family never came back."
The Ling family is a law firm, and has some business contacts with the Zhou family and the Li family. This time the two married, Ling Chun was also invited to attend.
"Could it be because of your new movie? That movie is also shown in Europe and the United States." Ling Chun frowned, and speculated: "The Yan family's business center is overseas, maybe I saw it, I heard Liang Zhou She looks very similar to Yan Wei."
"It's very possible what you said." Zhou Qi frowned, feeling bad in his heart: "Based on the Yan family's way of doing things, if Zhou Zhou is really believed to be from their Yan family, then..."
Liang Zhou's face sank like water, the dark emotions in his eyes rolled, and finally he suppressed it, and said coldly: "Don't care about them, let them do what they want, my name is Liang."
Ling Chun was not as worried as Zhou Qi, and said slowly: "Zhou Qi, don't worry, the Yan family may not have come to cheat Liang Zhou, didn't you see that their attitude was very low just now, I heard that the current head of the Yan family is the heir Weak, with only one daughter under his knees, and his vicious and pungent wife has passed away... Now that he has such an excellent son as Liang Zhou, he probably woke up laughing in his dreams, but he had to do everything possible to make Liang Zhou recognize his ancestors. Zong."
"Don't even think about it!" Zhou Qi turned cold. He was already eight years old when the incident happened, and he has never forgotten the face of the Yan family.Although it was Yan Wei's wife who did the bad things, Yan Wei's cover-up attitude back then was enough to make the Zhou family hate him for a lifetime!
Yu Shulin, who was in a daze, was completely awakened by Zhou Qi's yelling, got up with some headaches, and muttered: "Brother, what are you talking about? Why does it seem that there is an argument..."
Liang Zhou raised his hand, stopped Zhou Qi from speaking, walked over and patted his head, and said in a warm voice, "Woke you up? Get up and wash your face, let's go home and sleep again."
Yu Shulin was still wearing Liang Zhou's suit, covered his mouth and yawned when he heard the words, picked up the suit and handed it to him, walked towards the restroom in the lounge, and said vaguely: "Brother, wait a minute, I'll go Wash your face."
"Go."
After confirming that the bathroom door was closed, Liang Zhou put on his suit, and said to Zhou Qi: "There is no need to mention the matter of Yan's family. No matter what their purpose is, let's just ignore it."
Zhou Qi was a little helpless: "You think too simply."
"No, Liang Zhou is right. It's best not to talk to him. It's better to put on a high stance." Ling Chun interjected, "We just have to bite the bullet and refuse to admit the relationship between Liang Zhou and Yan Wei, and then don't give them any money." With the opportunity to pester Liang Zhou, the Yan family will not be able to jump up, and now they have something to ask of Liang Zhou, and they dare not force it."
Zhou Qi went over Ling Chun's words in his mind, still worried, and frowned: "Just treat me as a coward, but if the Yan family is too soft to be tough..."
"If you care about it, it will cause chaos. Don't think too much about it," Liang Zhou comforted.
Ling Chun also persuaded: "Liang Zhou is such an adult, he will protect himself, don't worry."
"But...they came back to China in the name of investment this time, if they use this excuse to come to pester them..." Zhou Qi didn't let go of his heart at all, he only felt that everything around Liang Zhou was dangerous .
"Then cooperate with them." Liang Zhou said calmly and calmly: "Others send money to the door, why bother to push it outside, now that the business foundation of my uncle is very solid, it's okay to use the influence of the Yan family to develop overseas, it's business It’s good to do business, remember to stay behind.”
Speaking of this, the three of them were not in a good mood, Zhou Qi glanced at the exquisite pastries on the small table, changed the subject and said: "Zhou Zhou, I have never seen someone who dotes on my younger brother like you, and I can't find anyone I was so anxious that I wandered around the banquet hall, and when I found him, I was worried that he was hungry, so I hurried to prepare snacks. It was not enough to have everything ready, and people still stayed here waiting for him to wake up. You are not afraid of spoiling him. gone."
Speaking of Yu Shulin, Liang Zhou's expression softened, with a slight smile on his face: "Shulin is very good, and he can't be spoiled."
Ling Chun pursed his lips, his tone was drawn long, and his eyes were full of narrow eyes: "That's what loves my wife. Liang Zhou's future partner will be blessed."
Zhou Qi nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "No, I really didn't realize that Zhou Zhou was such a caring and considerate character before. But Shulin is indeed a good boy, and this time during the Chinese New Year, he specially prepared a gift for his family members. , much better than Xiaohe, the kid who only asks for red envelopes."
Ling Chun raised his eyebrows, it seems that the Zhou family has a good impression of Xiao Yu... I don't know if they will praise Xiao Yu so much after the incident is revealed.
Li Tao was lying on the table reading a book. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the new watch on Yu Shulin's wrist, and squinted his eyes: "The watch is beautiful."
Yu Shulin was stunned, raised his left wrist and shook it, and said with a smile: "Thank you, the neighbor brother gave it to me, and said it was a New Year's gift for me in advance."
"Then your brother is very generous." The latest model of the Guerra family, which is equivalent to nearly [-] RMB, is really generous.
"Is it very expensive?" Yu Shulin was puzzled: "But my brother said it was very cheap."
Thinking of the millions of watches at home, Li Tao pondered for a while, then went back to read the book again: "It's not expensive, it's relatively expensive for students."
For students?Thinking of the more than 1000-yuan watch he used before, Yu Shulin touched the new watch on his wrist and nodded in agreement: "A watch of more than 1 yuan is indeed relatively expensive."
"..." More than 1 yuan?Li Tao glanced at his wrist and lowered his eyes.
Yu Shulin took the first place in the final exam. In order to reward him, Liang Zhou personally cooked a meal for him. As for the taste... It's all about the heart, the heart, don't pay too much attention to the details.
When the winter vacation homework is about to be finished, the New Year finally comes.
On New Year's Eve, Yu Shulin happily accompanied Liang Zhou to Zhou's old house to have a reunion dinner with the New Year's gift.
"Very happy?" Liang Zhou glanced at him, took the gift in his hand and put it on the back seat of the car, and helped him fasten his seat belt.
Yu Shulin was a little embarrassed. He was really looking forward to going to Zhou's house for a reunion dinner. The feeling of a family gathering together to chat and laugh was so fascinating.He tidied up his scarf, covered the corners of his mouth, and said in a disguised way: "If you have a red envelope, take it."
Liang Zhou smiled, reached out and rubbed his hair, "Stupid."
There was a lively scene in the courtyard. Zhou He did not play firecrackers this year, but stuck to the Spring Festival couplets with Zhou Qi honestly. The elders set up a table in the yard, and uncle Zhou Qingren and two aunts were rubbing hands with a strange man.

After making a bow, he smiled and stretched out his hand: "Red envelope, red envelope, take it quickly."
"As long as you are impatient, you say the same thing every year without changing the words." Liang Zhou said, handing him the prepared red envelope with a smile in his eyes.
"New Year's greetings are not the same, what to choose." After receiving the red envelope, Zhou He became fat, ignored him, and went to see Yu Shulin: "Shulin, I got a new computer, and it runs games very fast, so you should go buy it soon." One, let's play the same game, I'll take you!"
"Okay." Yu Shulin nodded with a smile, lowered his head and rummaged through the things he was carrying, found a box and handed it to him: "Here, New Year's gift."
"Huh? You prepared a gift for me?" This was a surprise, Zhou He grinned silly, took the box and opened it, cheering: "Shu Lin, you are the best! I have wanted this model for a long time, I love you Aww!"
Yu Shulin smiled and dodged his bear hug, squinting his eyes and smiling happily.In fact, after receiving the glorious year-end dividend, he started planning to prepare New Year's gifts for Zhou's family.He always wants to repay the kindness of others to him.

"That's natural." Li Zhong nodded with a smile, took out a red envelope from his pocket, handed it to Yu Shulin, and said kindly: "Shulin, we will be a family in the future, you can help me more when your sister Say good things in front of me, but she hasn't agreed to my marriage proposal yet."
"What are you talking about in front of the children!" Zhou Shi smiled and thumped him, grabbed the red envelope from his hand and stuffed it into Yu Shulin's hand, saying, "He just likes talking nonsense, don't pay attention to him."
"Thank you Brother Li." Yu Shulin thanked with a smile, and was very happy to see Zhou Shi and Li Zhong sweet.This Li Zhong is gentle and handsome, standing with the beautiful and gentle Zhou Shi, it is very suitable.

"Yeah." Yu Shulin nodded, but his heart became bewildered.What he wants to do in the future, he really hasn't thought about it. His biggest wish right now is to be admitted to university, but after he is admitted to university, what major should he study?
After getting a good understanding, uncle Zhou Qinghe changed the subject, and said to Zhou Qi: "My younger sister has brought someone home. As the eldest son, you are still single until now. Does it make sense?"
I knew it would be like this... Zhou Qi said helplessly, "I'm busy."
"What are you busy with? Is it difficult to take care of the branch I entrusted to you? No need to explain, I will arrange a blind date for you in the next year." Zhou Qinghe frowned.
Zhou Shi saw that her elder brother had a bitter face, and smiled: "Dad, don't let my brother go on a blind date, or the girl he is chasing will really run away."
The eldest aunt's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and asked hurriedly: "Xiaoshi, what you said is true? Does your brother have a girl he likes? Which family is it from? Is her personality good? What job do you do? Xiaoqi, you too Why don't you tell mom if you have a girl you like, mom won't stop you from falling in love like a feudal patriarch, as long as the girl has a good personality, her family background doesn't matter."
Zhou Qi, who was betrayed by his younger sister, hurriedly said: "Mom, I haven't written my horoscope yet. What are you asking so much for?" He originally wanted to wait until the relationship was stable after he had chased him down, before telling his family about this, but now... unwise.
Zhou Shi's own feelings are complete, and she was happy to see Zhou Qi's jokes. Pulupulu broke the news: "My brother likes my classmate, Wen's, named Wenqi, who studies law, and has a more lively personality."
The eldest aunt was taken aback: "Wen family? Which Wen family?"
"Just the writer who runs the antique shop."
Open an antique store?The eldest aunt finally came to her senses, and then smiled even more happily: "Then Xiao Qi, you have to chase after her harder. The Wen family is a scholarly family, and the juniors are very gentle and courteous, not bad."
The expressions of Mr. Zhou and Zhou Qinghe also softened, and they were very satisfied with the other half chosen by Zhou Shi and Zhou Qi.The old lady directly pulled Zhou Shi to ask about the girl's situation in detail, and planned to invite the girl to come to her house to play when she was free.
Listening to their discussion, Zhou Qi rubbed his forehead and sighed. As far as Wen Qi's fiery and straightforward character was concerned, it had nothing to do with being gentle and courteous. His mother might be disappointed.
Zhou Qinghe was in a good mood, and glanced at Liang Zhou, who was talking to Yu Shulin, and said suddenly: "Since Zhou Qi has a girl he likes, let Zhou Zhou go on a blind date, you are not young, you should consider Take a look at these."
As soon as these words came out, Liang Zhou and Yu Shulin were all stunned.How did this topic get here?
The old lady was also taken aback, and then nodded: "That's right, Zhouzhou is 24, and has been busy with work, so I don't have time to arrange these things. As uncles, you need to help make more arrangements."
"Don't worry, mom, we'll remember it all." Zhou Qingren said, frowning and thinking for a while, and suggested: "The eldest daughter of the Zhou family seems to be 22. I heard that she has a good personality and her family relationship is simple. You can try it."
"But that wife of the Zhou family is very powerful, that's not good." The little aunt frowned, not very satisfied with the candidate chosen by her husband.
"What about the Cao family? The second child, 23 this year, is studying abroad. I heard that he has a good temper." The aunt interjected.
Zhou Qinghe shook his head: "No, no one knows that the two brothers of the Cao family don't have a good relationship, and there are a bunch of messy relatives in his family, no way."
"The Wu family..."
Everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized. Immediately, you talked about each other, and even Li Zhong said a few words, and the atmosphere became more lively for a while.
Yu Shulin was confused while listening to their discussion.My brother doesn't like girls, what should I do?The family is having a hard time...
Liang Zhou patted him comfortingly, and said calmly, "I'll find my other half by myself."
There was silence, everyone stopped discussing, and all their eyes fell on him. Liang Zhou put the peeled almonds in Yu Shulin's hands, looked up and said, "Don't mention the blind date, I won't go, I will find my love by myself."
Is it okay to talk to elders like that?Yu Shulin became anxious and pulled his hand.
The old lady was the first to look back and nodded: "That's all right, I'll listen to Zhou Zhou. The kitchen should be almost ready, let's eat."
Everyone got up when they heard the words, and walked towards the set round table, as if the topic of blind date had never come up before.
what's the situation?
Yu Shulin was stunned, he was let go so easily... It's unscientific, that's not how he acted in the TV series he watched with Aunt Liu!
"Don't think about it." Liang Zhou nodded his forehead amusedly, pulled him up and walked towards the round table: "Auntie Liu will let you watch TV with her in the future, it's fine, don't believe it."
"..."
Seeing that he lowered his head and scratched his face and didn't speak, he knew he was shy. Liang Zhou paused, did not continue the topic of TV series, and explained: "Grandma and the others are very open-minded. If I don't like it, they won't force it."
"Then..." He carefully scanned the people in front and behind, leaned over and whispered: "Then what will you do when you come out of the closet, grandma and the others..."
"It's enough to grind, I'll accept it." Liang Zhou was very sure, when Yu Shulin was a little older, he would confess to his family, but the most important thing was to catch him first.
Yu Shulin was still worried, frowning and muttering: "It's really that simple."
"Don't think about it." Liang Zhou looked at him, patted his head, his eyes were full of tenderness.
After passing the family's eyes, Zhou Shi and Li Zhong's engagement date was quickly set.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Yu Shulin asked the school for leave in advance, and went to the hotel with Liang Zhou.
Originally, the two families planned to hold that kind of traditional engagement banquet, but Zhou Shi and Li Zhong didn't want to trouble, so they simplified the procedure and chose a hotel for the engagement venue.
Yu Shulin tugged on his bow tie uncomfortably, and followed Liang Zhou to get out of the car.He seldom wears formal clothes, and he is not used to it for a while.
"Don't talk, be careful that it's crooked." Liang Zhou held him down, helped him straighten the bow tie, looked carefully, and saw that there was nothing wrong, then led him into the hotel and went to the fifth-floor hall where the banquet was held.
There were a lot of people present, so Liang Zhou first took Yu Shulin to greet Zhou's elders, and then took him to meet some familiar elders, and then avoided those who came to greet each other, and found a place to sit , waiting for the engagement ceremony to begin.
It wasn't until this moment that Yu Shulin realized deeply that the Zhou family and the Li family might not only be rich...the people here are all very powerful.He turned his head to look at Liang Zhou, who looked extraordinarily handsome and capable in a formal suit beside him, feeling a little dazed.
Such an excellent person actually became his brother, the fate is amazing.
Although the engagement ceremony was simplified, it took almost two hours after the whole process.After the ceremony, Liang Zhou was hurriedly pulled away by Zhou Qi. Yu Shulin stayed alone with nothing to do, surrounded by people he didn't know, so he went to the lounge by himself, and planned to go back together after Liang Zhou was done. Home.
There are several semi-open lounges next to the banquet hall. He picked one in the corner, walked in, threw himself onto the sofa, and became dazed.After a few sips of wine, his mind started to get confused, and finally he tilted his head and fell asleep.
He was woken up by voices, the voices sounded familiar, like Liang Zhou and Ling Chun's.
At the entrance of the lounge, Zhou Qi patted Liang Zhou's shoulder with some headaches, and persuaded: "Don't be angry, I don't know why that family came here, it's too strange, they obviously didn't know your existence, back then After the incident, his family never came back."
The Ling family is a law firm, and has some business contacts with the Zhou family and the Li family. This time the two married, Ling Chun was also invited to attend.
"Could it be because of your new movie? That movie is also shown in Europe and the United States." Ling Chun frowned, and speculated: "The Yan family's business center is overseas, maybe I saw it, I heard Liang Zhou She looks very similar to Yan Wei."
"It's very possible what you said." Zhou Qi frowned, feeling bad in his heart: "Based on the Yan family's way of doing things, if Zhou Zhou is really believed to be from their Yan family, then..."
Liang Zhou's face sank like water, the dark emotions in his eyes rolled, and finally he suppressed it, and said coldly: "Don't care about them, let them do what they want, my name is Liang."
Ling Chun was not as worried as Zhou Qi, and said slowly: "Zhou Qi, don't worry, the Yan family may not have come to cheat Liang Zhou, didn't you see that their attitude was very low just now, I heard that the current head of the Yan family is the heir Weak, with only one daughter under his knees, and his vicious and pungent wife has passed away... Now that he has such an excellent son as Liang Zhou, he probably woke up laughing in his dreams, but he had to do everything possible to make Liang Zhou recognize his ancestors. Zong."
"Don't even think about it!" Zhou Qi turned cold. He was already eight years old when the incident happened, and he has never forgotten the face of the Yan family.Although it was Yan Wei's wife who did the bad things, Yan Wei's cover-up attitude back then was enough to make the Zhou family hate him for a lifetime!
Yu Shulin, who was in a daze, was completely awakened by Zhou Qi's yelling, got up with some headaches, and muttered: "Brother, what are you talking about? Why does it seem that there is an argument..."
Liang Zhou raised his hand, stopped Zhou Qi from speaking, walked over and patted his head, and said in a warm voice, "Woke you up? Get up and wash your face, let's go home and sleep again."
Yu Shulin was still wearing Liang Zhou's suit, covered his mouth and yawned when he heard the words, picked up the suit and handed it to him, walked towards the restroom in the lounge, and said vaguely: "Brother, wait a minute, I'll go Wash your face."
"Go."
After confirming that the bathroom door was closed, Liang Zhou put on his suit, and said to Zhou Qi: "There is no need to mention the matter of Yan's family. No matter what their purpose is, let's just ignore it."
Zhou Qi was a little helpless: "You think too simply."
"No, Liang Zhou is right. It's best not to talk to him. It's better to put on a high stance." Ling Chun interjected, "We just have to bite the bullet and refuse to admit the relationship between Liang Zhou and Yan Wei, and then don't give them any money." With the opportunity to pester Liang Zhou, the Yan family will not be able to jump up, and now they have something to ask of Liang Zhou, and they dare not force it."
Zhou Qi went over Ling Chun's words in his mind, still worried, and frowned: "Just treat me as a coward, but if the Yan family is too soft to be tough..."
"If you care about it, it will cause chaos. Don't think too much about it," Liang Zhou comforted.
Ling Chun also persuaded: "Liang Zhou is such an adult, he will protect himself, don't worry."
"But...they came back to China in the name of investment this time, if they use this excuse to come to pester them..." Zhou Qi didn't let go of his heart at all, he only felt that everything around Liang Zhou was dangerous .
"Then cooperate with them." Liang Zhou said calmly and calmly: "Others send money to the door, why bother to push it outside, now that the business foundation of my uncle is very solid, it's okay to use the influence of the Yan family to develop overseas, it's business It’s good to do business, remember to stay behind.”
Speaking of this, the three of them were not in a good mood, Zhou Qi glanced at the exquisite pastries on the small table, changed the subject and said: "Zhou Zhou, I have never seen someone who dotes on my younger brother like you, and I can't find anyone I was so anxious that I wandered around the banquet hall, and when I found him, I was worried that he was hungry, so I hurried to prepare snacks. It was not enough to have everything ready, and people still stayed here waiting for him to wake up. You are not afraid of spoiling him. gone."
Speaking of Yu Shulin, Liang Zhou's expression softened, with a slight smile on his face: "Shulin is very good, and he can't be spoiled."
Ling Chun pursed his lips, his tone was drawn long, and his eyes were full of narrow eyes: "That's what loves my wife. Liang Zhou's future partner will be blessed."
Zhou Qi nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "No, I really didn't realize that Zhou Zhou was such a caring and considerate character before. But Shulin is indeed a good boy, and this time during the Chinese New Year, he specially prepared a gift for his family members. , much better than Xiaohe, the kid who only asks for red envelopes."
Ling Chun raised his eyebrows, it seems that the Zhou family has a good impression of Xiao Yu... I don't know if they will praise Xiao Yu so much after the incident is revealed.
