Solstice Secrets

Zhuang Zhou woke up after a nap, and the bed next to him was still empty.He touched the phone on the bedside table and checked the time. It was already two o'clock at night.

Zhuang Zhou pulled a pajamas over his body and went downstairs to see what Ling Dongzhi was still doing.

Since the appearance of this guy named Qingshu, Ling Dongzhi has become something wrong.His winter solstice should always be indifferent and casual, occasionally a little mischievous, and every day is leisurely and leisurely.But after this annoying guy appeared, his winter solstice changed. Not only was he preoccupied, but he was also so emotional.Experts have already said that too much emotional ups and downs are bad for health.

The wall lamp at the corner of the stairs was on, and it was a dim yellow ball, and Brown Sugar could be vaguely seen sleeping curled up at the stairs.He probably didn't sleep soundly, his fleshy body was curled up, his nose was pressed against his tail, and his eyes were half-closed.Its kennel was moved to the door of the studio, and three cats scurried around near the kennel, their eyes shining brightly in the dim light.

The door of the studio was ajar, and the light poured out, as if drawing a very bright boundary outside the door.Within the boundary is a world that belongs to him alone and cannot be entered by anyone.

Zhuang Zhou quietly looked in through the crack of the door. Ling Dongzhi was wearing a one-piece apron, and was painting the canvas with a paintbrush.A lush forest is painted on a canvas that is taller than others, and the sun shines on the forest tops and large grassy slopes.The shades of green make the whole picture full of vitality.

Zhuang Zhou didn't know much about painting, but he was keenly aware of the obvious change in Ling Dongzhi's mood.His previous paintings were all ruins, dilapidated mountain temples, and houses buried by rocks and mud sliding down the hillside. The paintings are full of heavy yearning and sadness.And all these gloomy and sad things seem to have disappeared in his current writing.

Zhuang Zhou put his hand on the doorknob, hesitated for a moment, then retracted quietly, and then quietly went back upstairs on tiptoe.

He knew that his winter solstice had passed the hurdle in his heart.

When Zhuang Zhou woke up, Ling Dongzhi had just fallen asleep, half of his face was buried in the pillow, his unkempt hair blocked his eyebrows, and only two thick eyelashes were exposed.He fell asleep like a child, and his breathing was quiet and sweet, as if looking at his sleeping face, one could know that he was having a sweet dream.

Zhuang Zhou gently rubbed his head, got up and dressed carefully, and didn't dare to turn on the faucet when washing, for fear that the noise would disturb him.

The cats downstairs have already woken up and are tirelessly playing the game of running circles in the yard.Zhuang Zhou would leave the door of the living room ajar at night, and if Brown Tang wanted to play in the yard, he could push it open with his nose.Anyway, the gate of the yard is locked, so it is impossible for it to go outside.

Zhuangzhou made porridge and steamed the buns Qibo sent for breakfast.Late Winter Solstice has been too busy recently, Zhuang Zhou entrusted the work of frying small fish to the cook of the old house.The cats said that although they love the winter solstice as always, as a professional, the fried fish made by Aunt Chen is more delicious.Brown Tang doesn't like fried fish very much. Its breakfast is always dog food, and it will give them snacks after Lingdong Solstice wakes up.

Zhuang Zhou finished Ling Dongzhi's breakfast, told the cats and dogs not to make too much noise, and drove to the construction site by himself.

He Kuan had already arrived, and was leading a few people around the land they were negotiating with. Zhuang Zhou saw the young woman in a light blue suit beside him, frowning imperceptibly.This woman's name is Emily. He doesn't remember her Chinese name. She is the regional manager of Zhuang's in the UK.Probably because the old man heard about Zhuangzhou's affairs, he decided to transfer such a person to add to his troubles, as if he was afraid that he would live a comfortable life after leaving Zhuang's.

He Kuan had already seen him and waved at him from a distance.Zhuang Zhou could see that He Kuan was also very impatient with this woman, but he was used to smiling fakely at everyone, so Emily hadn't realized that he was already very unpopular.In fact, if we only talk about this woman's own qualifications, she is also a beautiful and capable woman. Unfortunately, when he saw her, what He Kuan saw was a hand who wanted to steal money from him, and what Zhuang Zhou thought was that his family had white hair and beard. Liao also clings to the old man who refuses to let go of power, so he loses the heart to appreciate beautiful women.

Emily greeted him with a smile, "Master Zhuang, I'm a little late today."

Zhuang Zhou met He Kuan's teasing expressions on the side, and nodded to them with a half-smile, "I'm sorry, I got up a little late in the morning, and it took me a while to make breakfast for my wife. I kept you waiting."

Emily's expression stiffened imperceptibly, and then she smiled again, "Master Zhuang really likes to joke." Who didn't know that the marriage of the second young master of the Zhuang family only counts when the old man nods.The old man didn't nod, no matter what kind of vixen with great powers, don't even think about entering the dealer's gate.

Zhuang Zhou ignored him, took two steps towards He Kuan, and said to Emily as if remembering something: "You don't need to follow us today, it is inconvenient for outsiders to be present for the next thing we are going to discuss."

Emily didn't expect Zhuang Zhou to speak so ruthlessly, and she said this in front of a group of people, her face suddenly became a little ugly, "Master Zhuang, it's the old man who asked me to..."

Zhuang Zhou said indifferently: "Go back and tell him that this is a business between me and He Kuan, not between He Jia and the banker. If we don't have enough funds, we will figure out our own way."

Emily felt that she had found an opportunity to cut in, and quickly said: "The problem of funds..."

"As I said, we will figure out the problem of funds by ourselves." Zhuang Zhou looked at her with an indifferent expression, "Tell him, if he messes with me again with this business, then I will completely give up starting a business here My plan is to take my wife to live abroad and never come back again in this life. Ask him for me if he really wants to push me to this point before he will give up? "

Emily quickly said, "Master Zhuang, you have misunderstood the old man."

Zhuang Zhou made a stop gesture, "Our private affairs of the Zhuang family do not need to be explained by outsiders. You just need to pass the word on for me. There is one more sentence, please don't forget to say: I have quit the Zhuang family. He is no longer my boss. As for my private life, sorry, I am an adult, neither father nor father's father has the right to ask."

Emily's intention to speak was once again stopped by Zhuang Zhou's gesture, and Zhuang Zhou's expression carried an obvious warning, "Tell me the exact words. Don't pretend to be clever and tamper with my wording."

Emily persuaded persuasively: "The old man is also thinking about Young Master Zhuang..."

Zhuang Zhou looked at her and suddenly smiled, "There is a kind of fat mouse in the mountains around here. It is said that eating the meat of this mouse can not only beautify your face, but also increase your breasts. I will definitely get some for you later. You try it."

Emily's face turned pale, "Old...mouse?!"

"I think you will definitely not refuse, because I am also thinking about you." Zhuang Zhou emphasized the last few words, but the smile on his face became more and more warm, "I hear what you mean , you are a person who is particularly willing to understand other people's good intentions. You are really... reasonable."

He Kuan couldn't bear to see the beauty being teased by him, so he dragged him forward, complaining in a low voice, "You have time to complain to the old man, what's the point of embarrassing a little girl."

"Yan Wang is so hard to deal with little ghosts," Zhuangzhou said angrily, "this gang of minions are more difficult than their bosses. You said my old man was the same. When my dad and the others talked to him, he acted magnanimously, showing that he didn't hear about me. Don't ask; turn your head and play tricks in the dark, and get such a woman dressed in fancy clothes every day, what do you think he is up to. Really, the older you are, the more annoying you are."

He Kuan said with a smile: "Probably the old man is too bored. When you are old, your children and grandchildren are all busy with their own affairs. How can the old man live if he doesn't have some fun? Hey, tell me, he won't go to you Are you in trouble with your family?"

"Probably not." Zhuang Zhou thought for a while, "He doesn't like that kind of method very much. He always feels that as long as he holds his own child down, people outside will not be able to make waves."

"That's right." He Kuan nodded and looked at him worriedly, "Will you tell your family?"

Zhuang Zhou felt concerned, "If you tell him, he will kick me again!"

He Kuan burst out laughing.

Zhuang Zhou put his shoulders on his shoulders and sighed, "If we can't get along again this time, I'll just set up a shop and open a restaurant."

He Kuan smiled and comforted him, "Just do it with me." He glanced back without showing any trace, Emily was leaning against the car on the phone, her eyebrows were frowning, and there was a bit of aggrieved look on her face. look.

He Kuan shook his head, thinking how could some people be so hard on him?Everyone has expressed their attitude, and she still feels that as long as she goes out on her own, even Transformers can bow down under her pomegranate skirt.With such confidence, I really don't know what to praise her for.It took great pains for Mr. Zhuang to find such a person to fight with his grandson.

Sure enough, Zhuang Zhou and Kuan came back after wandering around. Emily was still waiting for them in the parking lot. Seeing them coming, she raised a big smile from afar.

Zhuang Zhou quietly asked He Kuan, "Did I not express myself clearly enough?"

"No." He Kuan said sympathetically: "She has already blocked all the rejection signals you send. Believe me, anything you say that she doesn't want to hear has been filtered out by herself. And the more you Hit her, and she will be more motivated. Let me say, where did your old man find such a difficult master? "

Zhuang Zhou smiled wryly, "Her father was the old man's assistant back then, and he often came in and out of our house for a while. Later, he went abroad and worked in the British branch. He was called back by the old man last month."

"The old man thinks this type can hook you up?"

"Probably." Zhuang Zhou felt a headache, "I thought at first that the old man wanted to meddle in our business, but now it doesn't look like it. You said that he made such a fuss because he wanted to mess with Dong Zhi and me. Bar?!"

"It looks like it to me." He Kuan nodded fiercely, "He has always wanted to hand over the Zhuang family to you, and he still has his eyes on our small business? There must be other reasons."

"Then what should we do?" Zhuang Zhou was worried, he had never encountered this kind of brown candy.The girls he met before, when he stared, they covered their faces and ran away crying.Never been as indomitable as this one.

He Kuan squeezed his chin and thought for a while, "Why don't you just call your Teacher Ling out and let her have a look, maybe this woman will give up completely."

Zhuang Zhou looked at him speechlessly, "I've already told you, I dare not."

He Kuan comforted him, "Isn't it different now? Think about it, both of you have met your parents, and it's almost a fixed relationship. This woman is prying his corner, how can he remain indifferent?" What’s more, you said that there is no impenetrable wall under the sun, so it’s even more difficult for you to explain what he heard from others.”

Zhuang Zhou was a little moved by what he said.

He Kuan continued his efforts, "And let me tell you, your old man will not deal with the winter solstice, this kind of woman might go. Women's tricks are hard to guard against. When the time comes, she will talk nonsense, for example, she is pregnant or something, Even if you are covered in mouths, you can’t tell clearly, that’s really miserable!"

Zhuang Zhou recalled the scene, and immediately got terrified. He took out his mobile phone and called the winter solstice number.Before he could speak, he hurriedly called for help, "Honey, help..."
