Chapter 2553

~8 min read 1,470 words

Zhou Andong blinked; he really wanted to ask if Old Aunt had ears that could hear a thousand miles away, having heard his conversation with Tang Lin and learned that there were over a hundred thousand smuggled cars in Qiong Province, which was why she specifically called him to talk about buying a car, otherwise this was too much of a coincidence.

"Since Duan Xu is getting married, then I, as his older brother, definitely have to show something; I'll send him a car. But you have to let him wait for a little while, don't be too anxious."

Zhou Xiurong, however, refused without hesitation: "That won't do; Old Aunt being able to have such good days today is all thanks to your blessing. Now that your younger brother is getting married and buying a car, how can I let you spend money?"

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "We are one family; you are my own aunt, and Duan Xu is my own cousin. Him getting married, me sending him a wedding gift, isn't that the most normal thing?

Besides, Duan Xu is getting married, how could I, as his older brother, not give a gift? So, Duan Xu wants to buy a car, then I'll send him a car; when the time comes, I won't give a cash gift."

He was already sending Jian Mingfan both a house and a car; now that his own cousin was getting married, if he didn't send anything, it would really be a bit unjustifiable. Since Duan Xu liked cars, then he would just send him one.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Xiurong sighed softly, her tone revealing sincere emotion, and said: "Dongzi, Old Aunt really doesn't know how to thank you enough."

A warm smile appeared on Zhou Andong's face: "Old Aunt, what are you saying? We are one family, why talk about thanks; that's too distant.

Besides, my dad lay on the kang for so many years; if it weren't for you and my big aunt helping out, how our family would have endured these days, and whether we could have made it through, is hard to say. So, if we're talking about thanks, it's me thanking you and Old Uncle."

Zhou Xiurong laughed: "Alright, alright, then I won't say it anymore. But the car, don't buy one too expensive; a Santana is quite good."

Immediately after, Zhou Xiurong asked with concern: "How is the child? Is Qiuqiu recovering well?"

"The child is quite good, and Qiuqiu's recovery is also not bad; in a few more days, she'll be out of her confinement period." Zhou Andong picked up the cigarette on the coffee table and lit it, then leaned his body slightly backward, resting on the sofa, looking a bit lazy: "After Qiuqiu is out of her confinement, we still have to go see her grandfather and grandmother."

"That is as it should be." Zhou Xiurong said: "Old Master Gu is in that position, work is one aspect, but more importantly, traveling is not very convenient; even going to see his granddaughter is quite troublesome.

And you are already married, and now you even have a child; as the younger generation, you naturally should go visit often, accompany the old folks to chat, and they will definitely be very happy."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Zhou Andong's face, and he said with a wry smile: "From the time Qiuqiu and I met and fell in love, to getting the certificate, and finally the birth of the child, for such a long time, I haven't gone to see Old Master Gu."

During the Spring Festival last year, Qiuqiu said she wanted to go visit her grandfather and grandmother, but I was always busy and couldn't find the time. So, it was dragged on and on, and as a result, it dragged until now."

Zhou Xiurong couldn't help but blame him: "You child, you really are a bit out of line. After Qiuqiu is out of her confinement, no matter what, you must find the time to go see Old Master Gu."

Zhou Andong sat up straight, reached out to pull the ashtray in front of him, flicked the ash, and said: "This time it definitely won't be dragged on again; the old master must be very eager to see the child. If I drag it on any longer, who knows, one day the old master might get anxious and come find me with a gun to settle the score!"

Zhou Xiurong chuckled: "Coming to settle the score with a gun is unlikely, but scolding you is definitely unavoidable."

Zhou Andong and Zhou Xiurong chatted like this for about twenty minutes, until Su Su suddenly ran in, shouting for him to go see her younger sister together, and only then did Zhou Andong hang up the phone.

………………

In the back building, Seeing Jian Qiu was holding Little Feather and breastfeeding. When she saw Zhou Andong holding Su Su and coming in, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Back early today."

Zhou Andong put Su Su on the bed, then sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Little Feather who was working hard at nursing. That little mouth moving and moving, it was really too cute, and Zhou Andong's heart was almost melting.

Su Su also leaned her little head over, looking at her younger sister, a naive smile on her face: "Sister, wake up and play with sister."

Seeing Jian Qiu dotingly rubbed Su Su's little head and said softly: "Sister is still small now; when she grows up a bit more, she can play with you."

Su Su nodded as if she understood, then climbed up, ran to Zhou Andong's side, and sat on her father's lap.

Zhou Andong hugged Su Su and asked: "Su Su, what did your little aunt go do?"

Hearing her father ask about her little aunt, Su Su pouted her little mouth: "Little aunt is playing games in her room, she won't let me play."

Mentioning games, Zhou Andong felt a toothache. That morning, he saw Old Four standing in a horse stance, and this girl had been persisting all along; he was so happy that he told Old Four that whatever gift she wanted, he would buy it for her.

But this little girl said she hadn't thought about it yet, and would say so when she thought about it. At the time, he didn't pay attention; after he went to work, Old Four went straight to find Seeing Jian Qiu and told her about the gift her big brother was going to buy her.

At the time, Zhou Andong had reminded Seeing Jian Qiu that Old Four would very likely come to find her for a gift, and she absolutely shouldn't agree. But how much Seeing Jian Qiu doted on this little sister-in-law, Old Four, was known to everyone.

As soon as Old Four said she wanted to buy a game console, Seeing Jian Qiu agreed without even thinking, throwing Zhou Andong's words to the back of her mind. Then, she spent a few thousand yuan and bought Old Four a Sega Saturn.

"When you grow up, Daddy will buy you a game console too, and make your little aunt mad."

"Okay!" Su Su's big eyes suddenly had light: "Don't let little aunt play."

The father and daughter were being clingy and talking, and Seeing Jian Qiu finished feeding the child, then carefully placed her in the crib.

"That Yu Miao, how is her body, is she better?"

"Better!" Zhou Andong raised his head, looked at Seeing Jian Qiu, and said: "Discharged tomorrow."

Seeing Jian Qiu sat down beside Zhou Andong and wanted to take Su Su over, but the little girl hugged her father's neck and wouldn't let go, so Seeing Jian Qiu could only give up.

"You little ungrateful thing, you have your father and forget your mother, right?"

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Yu Miao is going to live with Old Aunt, and Jian Mingfan also likes this little sister he picked up very much."

Seeing Jian Qiu nodded and didn't go deep into this issue: "I'll be out of my confinement in a few more days; can you find half a day to go see grandmother and grandfather?"

"No problem!" Zhou Andong promised: "Whenever you want to go, I can find a day here."

"That's good!" A smile appeared on Seeing Jian Qiu's face: "This morning, grandmother called me and asked when I could go over. I said I'd go after I'm out of confinement, and grandmother was so happy."

Zhou Andong hugged Su Su with one hand and held Seeing Jian Qiu's hand with the other: "There is one thing I haven't told you yet."

Seeing Jian Qiu asked curiously: "What thing?"
