Chapter 1491
Zheng Maozhen looked stunned, and Wang Huijun and Zhou Wanyu widened their eyes.
They didn't expect that Zhou Andong, who had always been polite and courteous to them,
would say such things when facing his Little Uncle, Zhou Xianyong.
Luo Wenxuan blinked, then raised his head and turned to look at the distant night sky; the stars tonight were so bright.
"Ha!" Zhou Qianyi finally couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud.
The corner of Zhou Xianyong's mouth twitched violently; when he was at home these past few days, Zhou Xianqiang would talk to him about how amazing Zhou Andong was whenever he had nothing to do.
He was only thirty-six this year and had already entered the top twenty of the Wanwan rich list, second to none in the younger generation.
Call him arrogant, or say his rebellious phase never ended, anyway, he got annoyed whenever he heard the name Zhou Andong.
So from Wanwan to Xiangjiang, and then transferring to Jingcheng, he had been thinking about it the whole way.
After arriving, how should he give Zhou Andong a show of force to vent the stuffiness in his heart during this period.
He had to let that kid know that no matter how amazing you are, you still have to call me Uncle.
It's just that he never dreamed that while he was waiting for Zhou Andong to call him Uncle, this kid gave him a show of force first.
Zhou Xianyong was silent for a moment: "Talking to your Uncle like this the first time we meet, it seems you are also 'not a thing'."
Zhou Andong grinned: "You can't blame me for this, Third Grandpa mumbles about it whenever he has nothing to do, saying I have a Great Grandpa who is 'not a thing', and you take after that Great Grandpa.
And my grandpa also often says that my Big Uncle takes after my Great Grandpa. So I became curious about that Great Grandpa of mine, thinking that if you and my Big Uncle's personalities were mixed together, that should be my Great Grandpa."
"Cough!"
Zhou Xianqiang coughed: "Well, what's good, let's talk when we get home, it's still snowing outside."
"Right, right, right!" Zhou Andong said hurriedly: "Third Grandma, Aunt, Little Aunt, I'm so happy to see you, especially seeing my Little Uncle, I lost track of time for a moment, I'm truly sorry."
"We are also happy to see you." Zheng Maozhen smiled happily, then gave Zhou Xianyong a warning look.
Zhou Xianyong felt aggrieved; it was Zhou Andong, this kid, who looked for trouble with me first, why are you glaring at me?
"Little Uncle!" Zhou Andong said very enthusiastically: "It's not easy for you to come here, let's have a good chat these few days, I will definitely be able to analyze exactly what kind of person my Great Grandpa was."
Luo Wenxuan, who had walked to their side, paused his steps, then quickened his pace to catch up with Zhou Qianyi, who was leading the way in front.
Zheng Maozhen didn't speak, and no expression could be seen on her face.
Wang Huijun tightened her grip on Zhou Xianqiang's arm, fell back two steps, leaned close to Zhou Xianqiang's ear, and said with a smile.
"This cousin-nephew of yours is quite interesting."
Zhou Xianqiang gave a wry smile, just shook his head, and didn't say anything.
Zhou Wanyu supported her mother and walked in front, also whispering, her tone revealing a sense of schadenfreude.
"This time Xianqiang has met his match; with the two of them together, I don't know what sparks will fly."
The corner of Zheng Maozhen's mouth twitched: "As long as they don't start fighting, it's fine."
Because there were many people and it was snowing, Zhou Andong had Wang Wentian drive the Coaster out.
The car had never been turned off, and the heater had been on the whole time; as soon as they got on, they felt the heat rushing at them.
"So warm." As soon as Zhou Qianyi got on the car, she took off her down jacket.
Zhou Andong helped Zheng Maozhen sit down: "Because it's snowing, this car has a high chassis, so I didn't drive the business car."
"Any car is the same." Zheng Maozhen waved her hand with a smile.
Seeing that everyone had gotten on, Zhou Andong said to Wang Wentian: "Let's go!"
The food at home had already been prepared, and they were just waiting for them to arrive to eat.
"Why aren't they back yet, I'm almost starving to death." Old Fourth muttered: "I'll go to the gate and see."
"I'll go too!" Yuan Haoyu, that little fatty, also ran out following him.
As soon as the two of them went out the gate, they saw the light shining from the alley entrance.
"They're back." Old Fourth cheered, turned around, and ran back: "Big Brother and the others are back."
"Uncle and the others are back." Yuan Haoyu also shouted.
"Let's go welcome them."
The old master and old mistress stood up first; if it were just juniors, they wouldn't go out.
But Zheng Maozhen had come, how could Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law not go out to welcome her?
Immediately after, Third Grandpa and Zhou Andong's maternal grandfather and grandmother followed and walked out.
Then it was Yuan Liying pushing Old Comrade Zhou, with the others walking at the very end.
They came out just in time to see Zhou Andong helping Zheng Maozhen get out of the car.
Third Grandpa walked over quickly: "Was the journey smooth?"
"Smooth." Zheng Maozhen answered with a smile, then her gaze fell on the old master's face: "Second Brother!"
The old master nodded heavily: "Sister-in-law, you've had a hard journey."
"Not hard." Zheng Maozhen walked to the old mistress's side and called out very affectionately: "Second Sister-in-law."
"It's cold outside, hurry back to the room." The old mistress was a bit nervous and didn't know what to say, just ushering them into the room.
"Let's go, don't freeze outside." Zhou Andong organized.
Everyone entered the courtyard, whether it was Zhou Xianqiang or Zhou Xianyong, or Zheng Maozhen and Wang Huijun and Zhou Wanyu.
They thought that even if they spent the New Year on the mainland, they would have to stay at their own hotel in Jingcheng.
But only after arriving here did they know that Zhou Andong's home was so big; even without seeing the whole picture, these people of theirs would definitely fit.
Arriving at the second courtyard, they went directly to the dining room, where the three families sat at six large tables, and then Third Grandpa began to introduce them.
After the introductions were finished, Zhou Andong arranged for the dishes to be served: braised beef steak, beef head, and beef tail.
There was also beef stewed with potatoes, pork ribs stewed with green beans, and pork bones stewed with sauerkraut; there wasn't a single stir-fried dish.
"Why is it all meat?" Zhou Xianyong frowned as he looked.
Third Grandpa snorted: "Taste it, authentic Northeast cuisine, much better than those mountain delicacies and sea treasures."
"We were starved to death, in the past we wanted to eat meat but couldn't afford it." Zhou Andong said with a smile: "These past few years of reform and opening up, there's a little money in our pockets, naturally we have to eat meat to make up for what we missed before."
Looking at the bright smile on Zhou Andong's face, Zhou Xianyong felt that this kid had no good intentions, so he hurriedly took the opportunity to step down to avoid being tricked.
"So that's how it is, then I'll taste the authentic Northeast Chinese cuisine."
Zhou Andong was just about to say something when Jian Qiu held a wine bottle and shouted: "Dongzi, pour wine for Grandpa and the others."
"Coming!" Zhou Andong stood up and said very affectionately: "Little Uncle, let's chat later."
Zhou Xianyong smacked his lips; he felt that listening to the old master this time and coming to the mainland to spend the Spring Festival might have been a mistake.
Zhou Andong took the wine Jian Qiu handed over, and then the two of them poured wine for the three old masters and old mistress.
After pouring the wine for them, Zheng Maozhen grabbed Jian Qiu's hand: "You're pregnant, don't be busy, sit by my side, let's talk, mother and daughter."
