Chapter 1501
"Grandma, Grandpa!"
Zhou Anlei called out, then looked at Third Old Master and Yuan Xizhang.
He knew Third Old Master, having met him once when he was in Yangcheng.
That other one, needless to say, was Dongzi's maternal grandfather, so he should also call him Man Man Laoyezi, right?
Zhou Banghua didn't speak, but looked at the door; the two aunts, two uncles, little uncle and little aunt had also come, and behind them were Xiaobei and Xiaoqin.
When the old mistress saw this situation, her first thought was that this unpromising Erleizi had caused trouble again.
She wanted to say something, but looking at this and that, especially Zhou Andong standing on the side, the words that reached her throat were hard and she didn't dare to say them out loud.
And Fat Sister, who was standing beside Zhou Anlei, had nowhere to put her hands, pulling her clothes one moment and tidying her hair the next, looking very uneasy.
There were a large group of people in the living room, but it was somewhat oppressive. Those who knew a little bit of the inside story, like Zhou Xiufang and Zhou Xiurong, didn't dare to make a sound before Zhou Andong spoke.
Those who didn't know the inside story, like the old mistress, Zhou Xiaoli, and Yang Xiujie, were very nervous and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"Everyone is here."
Zhou Andong spoke, which made the oppressive atmosphere relax, especially the old mistress, who let out a long sigh.
This old mistress didn't even notice when she started to become cautious in front of this eldest grandson.
"I asked Erlei to come to Jingcheng for the New Year." Zhou Andong scanned the circle and laughed: "In October, when I participated in the Entrepreneur Forum in Yangcheng, I ran into Erlei at the entrance of a shopping mall.
In the past year or so, many things happened to him, and after we met, some things also happened. For such a long time, I didn't tell you, actually, I was thinking about letting him tell you himself."
Everyone looked at Zhou Anlei, even Zhou Xiufang and Zhou Xiurong were the same.
They only knew a rough idea, and didn't know the details about the past, such as how Zhou Anlei's leg became lame.
It's just that such an unbearable experience, no matter who it is, letting him say it in front of so many people, would definitely be hard to accept.
But now, Zhou Anlei was very calm, having a state of mind of looking down on the past and letting it be in the past.
Or perhaps, everyone here knew him very well, and knew what kind of bastard he used to be.
Just like the saying goes, if you have too many lice, you don't itch; in front of people who know you, one more or one less bastard thing doesn't count for much.
"This has to start from when my brother served as the fake winery director and was arrested. That day I was in the winery restroom, heard the police coming to arrest people, and climbed over the wall behind the restroom to run, then drilled into a pile of firewood, and didn't dare to come out until night..."
From not daring to take the train, but climbing onto a freight train to Yangcheng.
Talking about how he was tricked into gambling, lost all his money, and was forced to beg for food to pay off his debts.
Then how he ran, and how he was caught back and had his leg broken.
And how he met Zhou Andong, after being saved, how he helped Zhou Andong talk business, and got a reward of one hundred thousand yuan.
Then to finally deciding to be with Fat Sister, and with Zhou Andong's support, returning to Jiangzhou to open a steamed bun shop...
This lecture lasted for more than an hour; of course, the little thing between him and Si Wei was automatically skipped by him.
No one expected that Zhou Anlei had suffered so much bitterness and suffered such great crimes in the year or so he ran out.
But looking at his change now, everyone felt that this was not a case of losing a horse, who knows if it's not a blessing.
If Zhou Anlei hadn't gone out, hadn't experienced such a suffering, and still stayed in Tanghezi.
How could he have such a big change, it could be described as being reborn.
Several women were teary-eyed, especially the old mistress, who kept wiping her eyes.
"Erleizi, can this leg of yours be cured?"
Zhou Anlei shook his head: "At that time, Dongzi also said to take me to the hospital to see, but I didn't go. It's fine like this, it doesn't delay normal life, and it can let me remember the unbearable past forever, and let me be alert at all times."
"A prodigal who returns is worth more than gold." Third Old Master stood up, came to Zhou Anlei, and patted his shoulder heavily: "Good, good child."
A smile also appeared on the old master's face: "In the future, if there's anything, that group of the eldest will be represented by Erleizi."
Looking at Zhou Anlei who was standing there in a daze, Zhou Andong kicked him in the butt without giving any face, and said irritably.
"What are you dazed for, everyone is waiting, why don't you hurry up and introduce Fat Sister to everyone."
Zhou Anlei said with dissatisfaction: "Didn't I just say it, Fat Sister is my object, why introduce..."
Before he could finish, Zhou Andong raised his hand to hit, scaring Zhou Anlei to hold his head and shrink his neck.
Zhou Andong laughed angrily and put his hand down: "Everyone knows Fat Sister is your object, but does Fat Sister know who everyone in this room is?"
Zhou Anlei gave a dry laugh, and pulled Fat Sister and Mingming to the old master and old mistress.
"This is Grandpa and Grandma..."
Zhou Andong turned and walked out, and Seeing Jian Qiu followed: "This New Year, everyone in our family should be very happy, right?"
Zhou Andong asked: "Going to Courtyard No. 5 tomorrow?"
"The day after tomorrow." Seeing Jian Qiu snorted: "Too lazy to see the faces of certain people, I get angry when I go back."
Zhou Andong laughed: "Going back tomorrow and getting angry, and not getting angry the day after tomorrow?"
"Happy for one day is one day." Seeing Jian Qiu walked away: "I'm going to the kitchen to help."
"Slow down." Zhou Andong quickly chased after: "With such a big belly, what if you fall."
The two had just arrived at the third courtyard when they saw Zhou Xianyong yawning and coming out of the room, and he became energetic as soon as he saw Zhou Andong.
"Andong, I really want to find you."
Seeing Jian Qiu greeted Zhou Xianyong, then said: "You keep Little Uncle company and chat, I'm going to the kitchen."
"Go!" Zhou Andong said, took out a cigarette in his pocket and handed it to Zhou Xianyong, and lit it for him: "Just got up?"
Zhou Xianyong took a puff of the cigarette: "Came back at midnight, suddenly remembered something, called Wanwan, chatted for more than an hour before sleeping."
Zhou Andong said with heartache: "Do you know how expensive international long-distance is, you actually called for more than an hour. Remember, pay the phone bill for me."
Zhou Xianyong was stunned, and immediately sneered: "Dream on, I won't give you money even if I have it, piss you off."
"You won't give it to me, right." Zhou Andong snorted, turned and walked away: "Fine, don't look for me if you have anything, even if you look for me, I can't handle it."
"Don't!" Zhou Xianyong grabbed Zhou Andong's arm: "Separated for decades, finally reunited, is this how you treat your own cousin-uncle?"
Zhou Andong curled his lips: "Even brothers settle accounts clearly, not to mention cousin-uncle and nephew, give me the phone bill, everything else, except money, can be discussed."
Zhou Xianyong gritted his teeth and said: "You really only recognize money and not people, right."
"That depends on who it is." Zhou Andong said without giving any face: "If it were Big Uncle or Wanyu Little Aunt, don't say calling for an hour, even if it's a day, I wouldn't want money."
"..."
Zhou Xianyong said with a black face: "Asking me for the phone bill is enough, and you even stabbed me in the heart, are you still human?"
"Less nonsense." Zhou Andong said: "I have a lot of things to do, give or not give money, if you don't give it, I'm leaving, I don't have time to talk to you."
"I'll give it!" Zhou Xianyong gritted his teeth and asked: "How much?"
"Ten thousand!" Zhou Andong held up his finger: "Not a cent less."
"Look at your lack of ambition." Zhou Xianyong said with disdain: "After a long time, you made such a big effort and only want ten thousand? Fine, I'll give you twenty thousand, is this okay?"
"You look down on me so much?" Zhou Andong was very dissatisfied: "Since you said this, then give me US dollars."
