Chapter 49 The third brother will take you to the street (please read it!)
These younger brothers and sisters are all gathered in front of the big color TV in the living room. The eldest is Zhou Qian, the eldest daughter of the uncle’s family, who just took the exam this year. When I went to college, I studied history at the local Jinling Normal University. Because she was the oldest, she also had the TV remote control in her hand.
The youngest is Zhou Qing, the youngest daughter of the third uncle Zhou Yaozu’s family, who has just entered elementary school.
"Third brother."
The Zhou family has strict rules. As soon as Zhou Yan entered the door, the children greeted him respectfully, including Zhou Qing.
Most of these younger brothers and sisters had never seen Zhou Yan, especially the two younger ones from the third uncle Zhou Yaozu's family. When Zhou Yan left here, Zhou Qing had not yet been born, and Zhou Yun was only two or three years old.
So Zhou Yan is a bit mysterious to them.
"Hello everyone." Zhou Yan responded to them with a smile.
This is the house of an old couple. The house is not small, it must be more than 80 square meters.
Nowadays, many houses like to design the bedrooms to be large and the kitchen and bathroom to be small, but this is not the case. The three bedrooms are all small, and most of the area is used in the kitchen and living room. above.
The living room is divided into two areas, one for watching TV, a set of sofas, and a TV, which are currently occupied by children.
The other area is similar to the "meeting area", with a set of chairs and a coffee table, where all the adult men of the Zhou family are.
It stands to reason that the younger ones have greeted Zhou Yan, and Zhou Yan is going to say hello to the elders now, but Zhou Yan just nodded in that direction, which was regarded as saying hello.
The key is that there is a group of smokers over there. The smoke is like a fairyland. Zhou Yan really doesn’t want to go there.
If other children were like this, they would definitely be reprimanded in person, but Zhou Yan’s situation was different after all. Grandpa Zhou Minnong did not blame him, but smiled and waved to him, "Zhou Yan, come here."
The old man had spoken, so Zhou Yan naturally wanted to give him face. He nodded and walked towards the "meeting area", but he was cut off by the old lady halfway.
Grandma Zhou Yan came out of the kitchen and grabbed Zhou Yan's hand, "Our youngest is back."
The third youngest is Zhou Yaozu, so Zhou Yan can only be the youngest Three.
Zhou Yan chuckled to himself. Fortunately, the word "老" was added in the middle, otherwise it would not sound good.
In front of the elderly, Zhou Yan was able to adapt to his identity faster. He bent slightly and said with a smile, "Grandma, I'm back. How are you lately?"
"Okay, okay, you're back, everything is fine. Let me take a look, you seem to have gone dark recently."
Maybe it's been too long since I haven't seen Zhou Yan, the old lady grabbed Zhou Yan's Reluctant to let go of his hand, his other hand followed Zhou Yan's head, like a cat.
Old man Zhou Minnong couldn't stand it any longer, "How old is he, and you still touch his head? Let him come over."
"You, you, let me touch my grandson's head, you're so stupid They all said." After giving the old man a blank look, the old lady smiled and said to Zhou Yan, "Grandma made you your favorite braised fish. Have a good dinner tonight. Look how thin you are. You go and accompany your grandpa first. They sit down for a while, I'm going to do some work."
"Grandma, you're busy."
After the old lady returned to the kitchen, Zhou Yan walked to the "meeting hall".
The Zhou family is a typical traditional Chinese family. The children play, the women cook, and the men smoke and talk.
All the adult men in their family are here, and the seats are very clear. Zhou Yan's position is next to his brother Zhou Hong.
After Zhou Yan sat down, his cousin Zhou Yu pushed the cigarette case on the coffee table in front of Zhou Yan with a smile, "Third brother, do you want to smoke?"
Zhou Yan smiled and waved his hand, "I haven't learned yet."
Zhou Yu joked, "Do you still need to learn this stuff?"
Third uncle Zhou Yaozu puffed out his smoke and said seriously, "It's okay not to smoke, but smoking is still bad for your health."
"That's true." Uncle Zhou Yaohua also said, "We will quit smoking when we find time."
"Dad, you said you would quit last year." Zhou Yu said.
"Everything must be done step by step and not in a hurry." Zhou Yaohua looked at Zhou Yan again and changed the subject, "Xiao Yan, I heard Qing'er say, you have only been back for two days, why is it so late this year?"< br>
"Something delayed me."
Zhou Yan didn't want to explain more, but Zhou Yaowen, who was sitting opposite, snorted from his nose, "He found a job."
"Work?" Zhou Yaohua There was a look of surprise on his face, and everyone else had similar expressions.
“I found a part-time job as a composer.” Zhou Yan said.
Third uncle Zhou Yaozu asked, "Why don't you delay your studies?"
Zhou Yaowen sneered, "Study? He has been out of school for almost a year. If I hadn't called the school, I wouldn't have known about it."
Zhou Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, this old Zhou was going to punish him. The rhythm of the criticism meeting.
Zhou Yan did not tell Zhou Yaowen about the suspension of school, which probably made Zhou Yaowen very angry. In Zhou Yaowen's view, he is my father and Zhou Yan is his son. For such a big matter, not only should I ask him for instructions, but I should at least inform him.
Zhou Yaowen heard this from the dean of the department, so of course he couldn’t lose face.
Actually, Zhou Yaowen was very concerned about Zhou Yan, especially when he knew that Zhou Yan had taken a leave of absence from school because of illness. He thought about how to contact Zhou Yan to ask about the situation, but as soon as they met, he couldn't control his temper. He behaved like an old man lecturing his son. Take it out again.
The old man Zhou Minnong asked with concern: "Why did you drop out of school? Did something happen to you?"
"It's okay, Grandpa, I had a slight illness, but I'm fine now." Zhou Yan replied with a smile.
Zhou Minnong naturally knew that it couldn't be a minor illness, otherwise he wouldn't have to drop out of school, but Zhou Yan didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask further. The main reason was that Zhou Yan looked more energetic now than the last time they met. .
The Zhou family seems to have a lot of rules, but they still get along very freely, and after all, Zhou Minnong is a generation apart from Zhou Yan, so his requirements for Zhou Yan are naturally different from those he had for his sons back then.
"That's all. As for the part-time job, it's good to enter the society and exercise early, but you must not fall behind in your studies. If you have any financial difficulties, there is nothing wrong with talking to your elders. If Working part-time just to make money is not worth the loss. "Thank you, Grandpa. I have no financial problems for the time being."
The old man has already spoken, so Zhou Yaowen will naturally not say anything more. The criticism meeting has not started yet, so this matter will be revealed first.
Zhou Yu asked curiously, "Lao San, what soundtrack are you giving? Is it a TV series or something?"
"A movie."
"What movie?"
"Raise the Red Lantern, it hasn't been released yet."
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "I know this movie. The director is Zhang Yimou. I saw the news in the newspaper before. Zhang Yimou Now he is an international director, you can work with him."
"I am a soundtrack assistant, and my main job is teacher Zhao Jiping."
Zhang Yimou and the others may have heard of it. Zhao Jiping is not very familiar with it. Zhou Yu didn't care about this either. He asked again, "Have you been to the set?
"Yes. ”
"Then you have met Gong Li. She is the heroine of this movie."
"Yes." Zhou Yan nodded. Not only did he and Gong Li meet, they also acted together.
“Are you beautiful?”
“Beautiful.”
“Are you tall?”
"High."
Because of the role of "Jiu'er" in "Red Sorghum", Gong Li became a well-known female star. She is now even more famous than Zhang Yimou, a real big star.
Although Zhou Yu is the grandson of Zhou Yu, he is only in his twenties after all. It is normal to be curious about big stars.
His father, Zhou Yaohua, frowned and said, "You should watch less entertainment news and read more books when you have time to enrich yourself."
Zhou Yu called Qu and said, "Dad, I Due to the nature of the job, reading entertainment news is also necessary for work.”
In fact, this is true. Zhou Yu works in the "Yangtze Evening News", and the content of the "Yangtze Evening News" is relatively complex, covering everything from national issues to people's livelihood, so the scope of news that Zhou Yu usually comes into contact with must be relatively large. wide.
“Asking female celebrities whether they are beautiful or tall is also necessary for work?” Zhou Yaohua teased.
"Isn't that the end of the conversation... Third brother, you have a good time and get familiar with celebrities in the future. Make an appointment for some exclusive interviews with our newspaper." Zhou Yu said with a smile.
Zhou Yan nodded, "I'll work hard."
"Haha, I'm kidding you, study hard."
...
When Zhou Yan first arrived, everyone’s attention was on him. After a while, they continued the previous topic.
For a family like theirs, there are many topics related to people's livelihood policies, medical education, etc. Zhou Yan listened silently and did not take the initiative to speak.
The other person who did not speak was Zhou Hong. In fact, Zhou Hong had not been heard from Zhou Yan since he entered the door.
This surprised Zhou Yan. Zhou Hong was not very talkative when he was a child. But now Zhou Hong is assisting Zhou Yaowen in managing the business at home. It stands to reason that people who often deal with the business field will not be so boring.
It wasn't until the old lady and the others were preparing for dinner and the meeting in the discussion area was dismissed that Zhou Hong whispered next to Zhou Yan, "Just come back."
From Zhou Hong's words, Zhou Yan heard concern, and he He also sent a greeting back, "How are you lately?"
Zhou Hong glanced at Zhou Yan in surprise, probably because he didn't expect Zhou Yan to say that, and then he nodded, "Everything is fine."< br>
……
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Zhou Yan was being “cross-examined” by the old lady and two aunts.
"Are you dating a girlfriend?"
"Do you have a crush?"
"Are you still in contact with the girl you often met in elementary school?"
……< br>
The topics that lesbians care about are completely different from those of gay men. If Zhou Yan hadn't been in school, his two aunts would have started looking for a partner for him.
In the middle of the way, ninth sister Zhou Qing came over with two sticks of flowers and gently pulled Zhou Yan's sleeves, "Third brother, can you accompany us to set off fireworks?"
Not far away, Several younger brothers and sisters looked here expectantly. Zhou Qing should have been sent here by them.
They were still a little afraid of Zhou Yan, so they sent Jiu Mei, the youngest and cutest, who would definitely not be beaten.
Zhou Yan was still worried that he could not find a reason to escape from the sea of misery, so he felt sleepy and came to the pillow.
He stood up quickly, waved his hand, and said with a bold smile, "Let's go, third brother will take you to bomb the street."
