Chapter 236

~7 min read 1,377 words

Zhou Xiaoxin tilted his head, *gulp*, half a glass of wine, maybe more than one tael, poured into his stomach: "I'll go!"

Zhou Xiurong said: "Second Brother, why are you going again?"

Zhou Xiaoxin said very proudly: "Daughter-in-law asked me to go, so I'll go."

Yuan Liying laughed: "Virtue!"

At this moment, the outer door creaked open, and then the gauze curtain was lifted. Zhou Xiaode entered the room with a gloomy face and threw ten thousand yuan on the table.

"This is ten thousand, count it carefully. After I leave, if it's short, don't come to me."

This scene stunned Zhou Xiaoxin and Yuan Liying. What's going on, did Zhou Xiaode take the wrong medicine? Why throw so much money on the table.

Zhou Andong smiled, took the money and shook it: "Don't count it, even if it's short by eight hundred, I'll admit it."

Zhou Andong's words made Zhou Xiaode's heart twitch, regretting it so much that his intestines turned green. Why was he so honest, giving ten thousand when he said ten thousand? If he gave one or two thousand less, wouldn't he have saved it?

Zhou Xiaode left with a livid face, not even paying attention to Man Man Laoyezi and Grandmother, making Man Man Laoyezi curse loudly. Zhou Xiufang and Zhou Xiurong, the two daughters, persuaded for a long time before persuading him to calm down.

"Old woman, I tell you, in the future, you only have two sons, the second and the youngest, and two daughters, Xiufang and Xiurong, do you hear me?"

Grandmother kept sighing, constantly saying: "Eldest, why are you so unpromising..."

"Slap!"

Man Man Laoyezi threw his chopsticks: "Not eating, I'm going back." After speaking, he got off the kang, put on his shoes, and left.

"Grandpa!" Zhou Andong put on his shoes and chased after him, "You have lived with Grandma for a lifetime. When you were young, she pampered and protected her eldest son. Now that you are so old, why are you still angry with her."

Man Man Laoyezi sighed: "You don't know, your big uncle was born prematurely. When he was born, he was as small as a kitten. Many people said that this child couldn't live."

"Your grandmother didn't believe it, cut the quilt, took out the cotton inside, wrapped your big uncle layer by layer, and then held him and hugged him every day. Just like that, your big uncle finally lived. So, your grandmother always favors your big uncle, she thinks your big uncle's body is too weak and can't do heavy work."

Zhou Andong took out ten thousand yuan: "Grandpa, you take this money, next year, don't plant the land anymore."

Man Man Laoyezi smiled: "Little bastard, finally managed to extort ten thousand yuan from your big uncle, why are you willing to give it to me?"

Zhou Andong gave a thumbs up and flattered: "Ginger is still old and spicy."

Man Man Laoyezi said: "You grew up by my side, I know what you are doing as soon as you stick your ass out. In Zhou Anbin's matter, if money was needed, you would have opened your mouth to ask your big uncle long ago, how could you pay out of your own pocket and ask for it back at this time.

However, this big uncle of yours, he has occupied all the cheapness in the world, it is time to let him bleed, so that he always thinks that everyone owes him, and helping him do anything is as it should be."

Zhou Andong chuckled: "Our winery plans to build staff buildings. When it's built, I'll pick you and Grandma, and my dad and mom to the city to enjoy happiness. So, don't plant the land next year. This money is enough for you two old people to spend for the time being, but don't let Grandma know. If she knows, she will definitely send it back to my big uncle."

Hearing Zhou Andong's words, Man Man Laoyezi was very happy: "Good, I'll wait for you to pick me and your Grandma to the city to enjoy happiness, but Grandpa doesn't want this money, take it back for your dad to see a doctor."

Zhou Andong said: "Grandpa, to tell you the truth, I really don't lack this ten thousand yuan now, and this ten thousand yuan may not be enough for my dad to see a doctor."

"Alright!" When they reached the gate, Man Man Laoyezi patted Zhou Andong on the shoulder, "Dongzi, I am very happy that you have today's achievements. But you must remember, you must be upright when you are a person, and you must be clear when you do things."

Zhou Andong nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

"Hmm!" Man Man Laoyezi said: "Put the money away, go back." After speaking, he walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back, "When the team first started..."

"Grandpa!" Zhou Andong shouted.

Man Man Laoyezi turned back: "Anything else?"

Zhou Andong asked: "Can you answer me a question?"

Man Man Laoyezi said: "Say it!"

Zhou Andong asked: "If you had stayed in the capital back then, you would be a big official now, why did you come back?"

"The temple is high, standing on it, the wind shakes it. So stay far away in the countryside, free and easy." Man Man Laoyezi walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back, "It's just that those old partners of mine, they didn't see through the crisis hidden under fame and fortune, and all fell in those ten years."

Zhou Andong looked at Man Man Laoyezi's back, which was still standing straight, was in a daze for a while, and then grinned.

"Grandpa, I'm convinced."

Man Man Laoyezi said without looking back: "Otherwise, I am the grandfather, and you are the grandson."

Zhou Andong opened his mouth, and after a long time muttered: "You said this, making me unable to refute."

Back home, seeing that Grandmother didn't make a scene because Man Man Laoyezi was in a bad mood, he also let out a sigh of relief: "Grandma, I'll send you back."

"No need!" Zhou Xiurong said: "I'll go live with your big aunt."

"Fine!" Zhou Andong turned around in the room, feeling a bit stuffy, took a cigarette, and went out again, thinking about buying an electric fan tomorrow.

"Where are you going again?" Yuan Liying asked.

Zhou Andong squatted under the window: "It's a bit stuffy in the room, I came out to smoke a cigarette."

Yuan Liying asked: "How long has Xiaobei been gone, did he call you?"

"Called!" Zhou Andong said: "Estimated to be back soon."

The capital, under the imperial city, in an antique courtyard, under a towering phoenix tree, there was a large table with various pastries, fruits, and liquor, and the most eye-catching was Jiang Xiaobai.

"You are like the dividing line of the summer solstice, the longest day in my life!"

Tong Xiao held a bottle of Jiang Xiaobai, looked at the copy on it, and a figure she couldn't forget appeared naturally in her mind, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking about, smiling so infatuatedly." A girl next to her wearing nearsighted glasses, looking very gentle, bumped Tong Xiao with her shoulder.

This table was surrounded by more than a dozen young men and women. Hearing the gentle girl's words, they all looked at Tong Xiao.

Tong Xiao came back to her senses: "Nothing, just suddenly thinking about things."

A young man handed a piece of paper to Tong Xiao like a treasure: "Xiaoxiao, this is a poem I just wrote, take a look and see how it is."

Tong Xiao frowned her willow eyebrows without a trace, but didn't refuse, and took the paper.

And at this moment, in the north wing of this courtyard, Tong Huaiyu sat on a grand master chair, holding a glass of red wine, shaking it gently.

In front of the window, a young man of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, holding a cigar in his hand, full of style, said: "I say, Young Master Tong, you suffered such a big loss in Jiangzhou, just let it go like this?"
