Guardian [Rebirth]

The end of the year is approaching, and the glory is full of joy.

Zhang Qian lay on the sofa half dead, dropped his phone, and laughed while hanging on the sofa: "Hahaha, the best actor of Guan University was forced to go to the desert to film a movie, he deserves it! Let him hang around leisurely in the company every day." !"

Zhao Zhi got up and began to pack his things: "My mother-in-law is going to city B to celebrate the New Year this year. I'll pick her up from today's plane and take the family to have dinner. I'll leave the finishing work to you. I'll be leaving first."

"..."

The office door was closed, Zhang Qian looked at the pile of documents on the desk with trembling lips, wailed, picked up the phone, and made a call.

"Zhou'er... help—"

beep--

The phone was hung up mercilessly.

He stared at the phone dumbfounded, then thumped the sofa furiously: "Beast! Bullying single dogs! Not human! A bunch of scum!"

"What's the matter?" Yu Shulin looked at Liang Zhou, and glanced at his cell phone: "Who's phone, it looks like I was looking for you in a hurry, and it has been ringing for a long time."

Liang Zhou hung up the phone calmly, turned off the phone, and said, "It's nothing, insurance salesman, how much homework do you have?"

"There are still four test papers, two for physics, two for chemistry, one for Chinese and one composition...the rest are all done." He flipped through the pile of homework for the winter vacation under his hand, calculated in his mind, and said, "Probably I can finish it tomorrow."

"Don't worry, you can write slowly, it's hard work." Liang Zhou touched his head and said, "Persist for another half a year, and it will be easy after the college entrance examination."

"I know." He squinted his eyes and smiled, then buried himself in his homework.

The atmosphere was just right, but it was a pity that an unexpected guest came.

Liang Zhou looked coldly at Yan Kaiwen who came in behind Uncle He, frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"

"As a partner, can't I come to pay New Year's greetings in advance?" Yan Kaiwen shrugged, glanced at Yu Shulin who was lying on the coffee table doing homework, his eyes lit up, he took two steps forward, and shook the bag in his hand: "Shu Lin, I heard that your favorite watch was broken some time ago. This time when I came back to China, I bought a new one for you. How is it? My new brother is not bad, is he?"

"Don't flirt with relatives." Liang Zhou's face darkened, he took a step sideways, blocking his view of Yu Shulin, and said coldly, "The New Year's greetings are over, please go back."

Yan Kaiwen felt a toothache seeing his refusal to be thousands of miles away. He felt frustrated, put down his hand holding the gift, straightened his expression, and said seriously: "Liang Zhou, I have already told your uncle about your previous request. agreed."

"What request?" Liang Zhou frowned.Because of Christmas, Yan Kaiwen returned to China for a while, and the cooperation between the two companies was temporarily suspended. He didn't remember any request he had made before the other party left.

Yan Kaiwen put down the gift and said solemnly: "It is a request for uncle to kowtow in front of your mother's grave to apologize. He got off the plane at noon today and is now on his way to your mother's grave. If you want to see it, the car that picks you up will stop at the door outside."

"No need." Liang Zhou was silent, shook his head, and waved to Uncle He: "See off the guests."

Yan Kaiwen frowned: "Why? Isn't this what you want?" He returned to China and talked with his uncle for so long before he came to this result. Why did Liang Zhou react so coldly?

...Shouldn't they rush to the cemetery, and then the father and son will settle down... Well, this is unlikely, but it's okay to rush to the cemetery to have a fight. Fighting is also a way of communication, isn't it?

"Mr. Yan, please." Uncle He opened the door, stretched out his hand expressionlessly, and saw off the guest directly.

"No, wait a minute." He took two steps forward, grabbed Liang Zhou's arm, looked into his eyes and asked, "Why don't you say no? Go and have a look, don't you want to see our sincerity and apology? why are you not going?"

"Because this is Mr. Yan Wei's apology to Ms. Zhou Qingya, and he doesn't need your sincerity to my brother." Yu Shulin interrupted suddenly, walked to Liang Zhou, and said calmly to Yan Kaiwen: "Mr. Yan, if brother Go, then Mr. Yan Wei's apology, in my opinion, is nothing more than a hypocritical performance to soften his brother. This apology is what Aunt Zhou deserves. You should not hope to use such an apology to go to Let my brother do something."

"I didn't..." Yan Kaiwen shook his head instinctively, trying to deny his words.

"So what if you don't have it?" Yu Shulin raised his eyebrows: "It's enough for your uncle to have it."

Uncle... Thinking of the attitude of the other party when he persuaded the uncle to come, Yan Kaiwen's eyes darkened, sighed, and said helplessly: "I am too strong to make things difficult for others. Sorry, I will leave now."

Liang Zhou frowned.

"Wait a minute." Yu Shulin called to him, took out a small pendant from his pocket, and threw it to Yan Kaiwen: "Thank you for your birthday gift and New Year's gift, this is a return gift for you."

Yan Kaiwen caught the small crystal pendant, was stunned, and smiled: "You're welcome, I'm an older brother."

"I only have one elder brother, Liang Zhou." Yu Shulin shook his head, and when the other party's eyes dimmed again, he smiled: "But I welcome you to come and play with me as a friend, and of course, my elder brother will also welcome you."

Yan Kaiwen's eyes lit up, and he looked at Liang Zhou: "Friend? Really?"

Liang Zhou still had a dark face, but he did not refute this statement, and nodded: "Partners are also a kind of friend."

"Okay." Yan Kaiwen put the pendant back in his pocket, and grinned with an unelite smile: "Then let's meet again next time, happy new year, goodbye."

Yan Kaiwen left, and the two nestled back together.

Yu Shulin opened the gift from Yan Kaiwen, touched the exquisite and luxurious watch in the box, and looked at Liang Zhou: "Brother, you have a good impression of that Yan Kaiwen, right?"

"He's not bad." Liang Zhou nodded, playing with the gift Yan Kaiwen gave him, his brows still frowning: "Unfortunately, his surname is Yan."

"Yes, it's a pity that his surname is Yan..." Yu Shulin sighed, and silently lit the wax for Yan Kaiwen in his heart.

My brother is not a hard-hearted person, so Yan Kaiwen has been stalking him for so long on the grounds of cooperation, his brother's attitude should soften no matter what.What's more, the people who made mistakes back then were Yan Wei and Yan Wei's wife, and they had nothing to do with Yan Kaiwen, so he shouldn't have suffered Liang Zhou's cold treatment.No wonder, he came here on behalf of Yan Wei.

Yan Wei's lobbyist, if his elder brother acts a little softer, then Yan Wei will be able to make progress.So after thinking about it, I can only sigh with emotion, different surnames, not conspiring with each other...

Liang Zhou didn't have to watch Yan Wei's kowtow to apologize, but there were two people who had to.

Zhou's father and mother rushed to the cemetery emotionally after receiving Liang Zhou's notice.

When she saw the well-maintained and well-dressed middle-aged man standing in front of her daughter's grave, Zhou's mother burst into tears and sternly scolded: "Yan Wei, you have been hiding abroad for more than ten years, so many days and nights Ye, do you sleep soundly at night? Have you ever seen my daughter come and ask for your life in her dream!"

Yan Wei's back trembled, and he turned to look at them, his gaze lingering behind them, and said in a hoarse voice, "Where's Zhou Zhou?"

"Ha, Zhouzhou?" Zhou's mother shook off Zhou Qinghe's hand that was supporting her, took two steps forward, raised her crutches and threw it at him, sneering: "Why, you don't want to call my grandson's last name? Let me tell you , his surname is Liang! He has only been surnamed Liang all his life! My daughter is looking at you on the tombstone! How dare you mention Zhouzhou’s name! Do you still have the heart! "

There were several bodyguards standing beside Yan Wei. Seeing her make a move, the one who stood closest took a step forward, grabbed the crutch that Mother Zhou swung over, frowned and said in somewhat unproficient Chinese: "Be respectful to the boss. "

"Stop." Yan Wei stopped him, turned his head and said a few words in English.After hearing that, the bodyguards looked at each other for a few seconds, then turned around and backed away ten steps away.

The crutches were released, and Mother Zhou staggered two steps before standing still. After standing still, she rushed up again, grabbed Yan Wei's arm, pulled him to face the tombstone, pointed at Zhou Qingya's photo, and said fiercely: "Look at her, take a good look at her, do you remember what she looked like back then? Do you remember what she looked like when she was lying in the coffin! Take a good look at her!"

Zhou Qingya is very beautiful, her appearance is the unique Wenxiu of the Zhou family.After so many years of wind and sun, the photo has faded and blurred a lot, but the gentle and light smile in her eyes can still make people feel peaceful even through the tombstone.

She is obviously such a free-spirited woman, but when she smiles, her eyes are full of reassuring power.Yan Wei stared blankly, and couldn't help but think of the scene when the two met for the first time.

Back then, Qingya smiled like this and greeted him.

After so many years, the beauty is gone, but in his heart, he has never forgotten this smile.

Those deliberately forgotten memories surged up again. The picture of being together was so beautiful that he didn't dare to think about it, because he didn't want to wake up after thinking about it.The image of Zhou Qingya covered in blood after the car accident suddenly flashed in his mind, his heart trembled, and he returned to reality.

He tilted his head slightly, unwilling to face the beauty and cruelty of the past.

The sun is gradually setting, the clouds are piling up, and the sky is full of red clouds.

Mother Zhou looked at her daughter's photo with tears in her eyes: "Yan Wei, for so many years, my daughter's grievances have always been in my heart, and now that vicious woman is dead, and all the sins of those years are up to you Bar."

She raised her crutch tremblingly, and in the dimming sky, she slammed heavily on Yan Wei's knee, her voice was long and heavy: "Yesterday's sins, today's reward, kneel—"

Yan Weizheng was staring at Zhou Qingya's photo in a daze, and was knocked on the ground by the crutches without warning, bent his knees, and knelt down heavily in front of the tombstone.

With a muffled sound, he landed on his knees. In the sudden pain, he put his palms on the ground and looked up at the smiling woman on the tombstone.

This is sin.

After escaping for so many years, it was finally time to pay back.

The old lady Zhou reached out to touch the photo of her daughter on the tombstone, her lips trembled, and wanted to say something, but in the end she could only utter a choked call, "Qingya...Qingya..."

Father Zhou looked at his wife who was already in tears, turned his head quietly, wiped the corners of his eyes, looked at the tombstone, and repeatedly traced his daughter's name with his eyes.

Daughter, father is useless, he failed to help you get justice, but fortunately, your son has the ability to help you out...

Zhou Qinghe and Zhou Qingren stood behind their father, watching all this, their eyes were slightly red.

After so many years of calling the wind and calling the rain, Yan Wei finally let go of his sky-high self-esteem amid Zhou's mother's crying, and kowtowed three times firmly to Zhou Qingya.

The bodyguards guarding not far away had scary expressions, looking at Mother Zhou as if they wanted to eat people.

Yan Wei glanced at Mother Zhou, who was crying sadly and relieved while hugging the tombstone, staggered up on the ground, straightened her back, and said sorry for being too late, "Auntie, back then... I'm sorry."

"Are you going to the police station to plead guilty?" Father Zhou looked at him expressionlessly.

Yan Wei straightened his clothes, shook his head, "Sorry, no."

They won't plead guilty, and the car accident that year was too long ago. All they can win for their daughter is this "sorry". They are unwilling and dissatisfied, but they have nothing to do.

"You go." Father Zhou stepped forward, helped his wife up, and stopped looking at him: "I know what you came back for, it's impossible, you give up."

"Uncle." Yan Wei wanted to take two steps forward, but when his knee hurt, he frowned, stopped where he was, and continued: "Zhou Zhou is my son after all, and I just want to see him when I come back this time."

"Zhou Zhou doesn't want to see you." Zhou Qingren said, emphasizing Liang Zhou's surname: "For the last time, his surname is Liang."

Yan Wei's habit of being a superior person began to rise again, and he frowned and said: "You can't fool me, Zhou Zhou looks so similar to me, how could he not be my son? I checked, and his date of birth is also the same as that of Zhou Zhou. Back then...the time was right, what surname is Liang, his surname should be Yan!"

"Unreasonable!" Zhou Qinghe frowned and shouted, waving his hand to interrupt his brother's next words, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to snatch Liang Zhou, you must first step on the corpses of my Zhou family! If you can't step on them to death... Humph, Then I advise you to get out as soon as possible! Are you still as easy to bully as my Zhou family?" After he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and made a call. After a while, a group of people who looked like bodyguards appeared from all over the cemetery. Come out and surround a few people.

Yan Wei's forehead twitched, and he said with a straight face, "What are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything?" Zhou Qinghe sneered, and the person in charge put on more air than him: "In order to welcome a guest like you who likes to put on a show, my Zhou family must naturally prepare, right?"

After the group of bodyguards approached, they directly guarded the Zhou family of four, staring at Yan Wei.

Yan Wei looked at this posture, worried about his own image and face, gritted his teeth, and waved his hands with a calm face: "Let's go!"

Mother Zhou recovered from her grief and saw her family surrounded by a group of big men. She was terrified, and hurriedly pulled Zhou Qinghe's sleeves and said, "Boss, I know you hate Yan Wei, but, but let's do it again." How can you hate him and want to kill him, you can't join the underworld, Qingren is still an official, this influence is not good..."

"Mom, don't worry." Zhou Qinghe coughed in embarrassment, waved the group of vicious "bodyguards" to disperse, supported Zhou's mother and said, "That's our company's security guard, I just let them change It's just acting in clothes, it's not a gangster, don't worry."

"Ah..." Mother Zhou was dumbfounded. She looked at the simple and honest "bodyguards" who gathered together and took off their fierce masks, and then looked at her son who was no longer young. She shook her head and smiled: "Boss, you are really... so... You're an adult, and you're still naughty."

"Brother, you are too foolish." Zhou Qingren looked at the group of tall guys dumbfounded, and said, "I thought you really went to hire bodyguards, so... I was thinking about killing you." When you get up, how should you deal with the aftermath?"

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go home." Zhou's father looked back at his daughter's tombstone, and took the lead to walk outside: "Don't disturb Qingya's rest."

After hanging up the phone, Liang Zhou leaned on the sofa and didn't speak for a long time.

Yu Shulin touched him lightly, pressed his shoulder from behind, lowered his head and rubbed his face, and asked, "How is it?"

"Yan Wei is gone." Liang Zhou raised his hand, touched his face, his eyes were complicated, "Grandma was a little emotional today, she just took medicine and fell asleep...Shu Lin, do you hate father?"

"I hate him." Yu Shulin turned around and looked him straight in the eyes, "Brother, do you hate Yan Wei?"

"No." Liang Zhou shook his head, pulled him and hugged him, preventing him from seeing his expression, "I hate him."

Yu Shulin hugged him back, patted his back comfortingly, "I understand."

Time turns to the end of January and the New Year arrives.

New Year's Eve, Zhou's old house.

Zhou Shi was already five months pregnant at this time, and she had gained a lot of weight. Li Zhong took care of her from front to back, very attentive and considerate.After the two got engaged, they didn't hold a wedding. They followed the fashion and organized a tourist wedding. They ran wildly all over the world for several months, and they didn't return to China until Zhou Shi had a big belly, which frightened the parents of the two families.

Zhou Qi finally caught up with Wen Qi, the youngest daughter of the Wen family, and successfully abducted her back to meet her parents.At this time Wen Qi was pointing at Zhou Shi and Li Zhong and laughing, she had no ladylike image at all, "Look at Brother Li's careful look, those who don't know think Xiao Shi is nine months pregnant."

"Cough, pay attention to your image." Zhou Qi bumped into her, pointed to the direction of his parents with his eyes, and showed her a please expression.

Wen Qi hurriedly restrained her hands and feet and sat down properly, smiled shyly at the elders, reached out secretly, pinched Zhou Qi, and said in a low voice, "Why, do you think I'm not quiet enough?"

"No, no, don't dare, you know that's not what I mean." Zhou Qi quickly begged for forgiveness in a low voice.

Zhou Qinghe and his wife had seen through Wen Qi's liveliness a long time ago. Seeing the two juniors flirting with each other, and their relationship was very good, they thought that they hadn't seen Wen Qi's gaffe just now, and continued to chat with the old lady and the old man.

The worries that had been suppressed for more than ten years were eliminated with one move, and the two elders of the Zhou family felt much more relieved. Seeing that the grandchildren are harmonious and happy, and the sons are also filial and promising, when they are in a good mood, they talk a lot more than usual.

Zhou Qinghe and the two brothers wanted to make their parents happy, so they could say whatever was nice, and with just a few words, the atmosphere in the main hall was noisy.

Zhou He squatted in the yard bitterly, rubbing and rubbing a window grille in his hand, with an angry expression on his face.

Everyone only cared about making their grandparents happy, and after the Spring Festival couplets were posted, they ran in and chatted together, leaving themselves alone to put up the window grilles, which is not fair!Isn't it said that the youngest child is the most favored?Why is there no pain for him!What about New Year's gifts and red envelopes?This is not the same as the said plot!

"Why are you squatting in the yard alone, how about everyone?"

A familiar voice sounded at the gate of the courtyard, Zhou He raised his head, and saw Liang Zhou standing at the door frowning, his mouth puckered, he dropped the window grille, and swooped: "Cousin, come and save me from fire and water, everyone Abandoned me, so boring woo woo woo..."

Liang Zhou dodged sideways, took out the red envelope and slapped him on the face, and said mercilessly, "Take the red envelope and go play, what about grandma and the others?"

"Zhouhe, happy new year." Yu Shulin poked his head from behind Liang Zhou, took out a box and handed it over: "Here, a New Year's gift. Why are you outside, everyone?"

"No brotherly love, cold blood!" Zhou He was very angry that he did not receive the care and love he deserved.

Liang Zhou withdrew his hand decisively: "The red envelope is gone."

"Don't, don't—" Zhou He wailed, quickly snatched the red envelope back into his pocket, then stretched out his claws at the gift in Yu Shulin's hand, and said with a dog-legged smile: "Everyone is inside, Tang My sister is pregnant, my cousin brought his girlfriend back, and everyone is talking in the main hall."

"Pregnant?" Yu Shulin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were stained with surprise, and he hurriedly dragged Liang Zhou in: "Brother, let's go in and have a look, you will be promoted in a few months, are you happy?" ?”

Liang Zhou let him pull, with a smile in his eyes: "I think you are happier."

"I've always been happy, when have I ever been unhappy."

The two brothers went in affectionately, and then the main hall was lively for a while, and the conversation became louder.

Zhou He stood in the yard holding the red envelope and presents, feeling desolate in his heart.

"I really fell out of favor! It's not fair——"

"What are you yelling about? Have you finished pasting the window grilles? Come in soon!" Zhou Qingren's preaching voice came through the door. Mouth.

——This is what you asked me to post, if it doesn’t look good, don’t wish it to me.

"I'll go out to help the boat and put up the window grilles. He's working in the yard alone, which is boring." Yu Shulin put the gifts he brought to everyone on the tea table, and got up to go out.

"Let him post it alone, Xiaoyu, sit down." Zhou Qingren stopped with a smile, and said helplessly: "The kid has become more and more skinny recently, and he was so sloppy that he wrote the wrong place on the English answer sheet during the final exam. You failed the exam and came back, but your little aunt was so angry, you just leave him alone and let him howl twice."

"What are you talking about in front of the child, whoever gets angry is talking nonsense." The little aunt gave Zhou Qingren a push, and said angrily, "Obviously you dote on him too much."

"Okay, okay, I spoiled you." Zhou Qingren said helplessly.
