Quietly in her heart, she heard her heart beating slowly.
Zhou Shengchen smiled.
She suddenly heard the sound of shoes stepping on the wooden floor outside the door. There are not many private rooms on this floor, so the number of people to entertain is also limited. After the meal, I heard such footsteps only two or three times.
And this last time, Kankan stopped outside the door.
One hand pushed the door in, showing a small face, and it was a boy: "Big brother." Zhou Shengchen looked a little surprised. The door was pushed open. Not only was a boy, but there were also two wearing cheongsams. Girl in a shawl. When I walked in, it was time to see a girl with a slightly bulging abdomen, which was obviously pregnant.
She was surprised at the girl's age, seeing that the girl's baby fat she hadn't faded away should be under twenty years old.
Unexpected visitors make the quiet private room lively.
"Why did you come out too?" he asked them.
Several people looked at each other, and the little boy first explained: "We were made by the Cold Food Festival and had no appetite, either cold dishes or cold dishes, so we made an appointment to go out for a feast."
They were very polite and didn't put too much attention on her except to meet and greet her. It's just that when she saw the golden lock on her chest, she was a little surprised, but she quickly concealed her emotions.
Shi Yi sat next to Zhou Shengchen and gave up his spacious seat to the pregnant woman.
In the brief introduction, I tried hard to remember their names. One was his cousin Zhou Wenfang, who was pregnant, was his cousin and sister-in-law Tang Xiaofu, and the most advanced boy was Zhou Shengren.
Unexpectedly, there is a boy named Zhou Sheng. If according to Zhou Shengchen's statement, he is the eldest grandson of the long house, then there will be no other person in this generation with the same surname as him.
Then why is this boy named Zhou Sheng
The word "son" popped out of her mind, and she quickly glanced at both of them. It seems that Zhou Shengchen should be 13 or 14 years old, as if he saw her thoughts, and said a little amusedly: "He is my brother."
When he said, the little boy was no different.
But the other two women were obviously quiet, and soon chatted with other words.
That Tang Xiaofu, it sounds like, is the first time to come to Zhenjiang.
I am very unaccustomed to that old house, and it is inevitable to complain. I am always afraid of demons and monsters when I sleep at night. Zhou Wenfang disagrees: "If I were you, I would be pregnant with the baby and run away from that ghost place."
"I have been pregnant with a baby, without ancestor worship, and I can't live there anymore, I'm afraid that the elders will teach me."
Zhou Wenfang breathed out gently: "Fortunately, once every four years, otherwise you will be crazy if you live in that place often."
After Zhou Shengchen listened for a while, his gaze shifted to the lake outside the window, as if watching the rain, but also in a trance.
Shi Yi glanced at him and guessed what he would think.
Suddenly, he turned around and looked at her.
Looking at each other too directly, she couldn't hide, blinked, and smiled embarrassedly: "What are you thinking?"
"The test report they sent in the morning is not ideal," he replied lightly, "I think their test method should be wrong." She snorted and asked about something she didn't understand.
It's time, you deserve to be cold.
He smiled gently and continued: "So I want to end the business here as soon as possible and return to Xi'an, otherwise I am afraid that all the previous work will be abandoned."
She nodded, remembering his appearance in a white lab coat.
Very clean and rigorous.
On the way home, she asked if the little boy was his brother
Zhou Shengchen shook his head: "Strictly speaking, Xiaoren is my cousin and my uncle's son."
"Then why is he also surnamed Zhou Sheng?"
"When my father died when I was five years old, Zhou Sheng was the only one left in Zhou Sheng," he said. "For Zhou Sheng's family business, my uncle inherited Zhou Sheng's surname. Therefore, his son Xiaoren has the same surname as mine, but he must Adopt it to my mother."
She nodded. What a complicated relationship.
"After I got engaged, I came of age smoothly. Both my uncle and Xiaoren would change their surnames."
What a complicated relationship.
Shi Yi followed his words and constructed such a family.
"Your mother, only you are a son?"
"There are brothers and sisters, they are a pair of twins," his eyes suddenly softened, "Unfortunately, they are all with perverted temperament and never go home to worship their ancestors. You will see them when you have the opportunity in the future."
Zhou Shengchen sent her home, and when the two said goodbye at the door, she stopped talking and wanted to ask him what he needed to do next. She didn't know how things would go after his mother clearly opposed it.
The light is orange and yellow, and there is no temperature, but it makes people feel warm.
She was reluctant to go back, and he did not leave immediately.
The two of them, at this moment, look like men and women lovers who have been dating all day long and reluctant to say goodbye.
He asked her: "When is your parents' plan to leave Zhenjiang?"
"Probably the day after tomorrow."
He pondered slightly: "I will arrange the engagement ceremony in Shanghai a month later. Will it make them uncomfortable?"
"Shanghai?" she blurted out, "not Zhenjiang?"
After speaking, I regret it.
It seems really impatient.
He laughed: "The time is too late, and you also heard my cousin and brother-in-law say in the afternoon that the ancestor worship will only come every four years, so there is no need to be here."
She hummed.
Not at ease, he hesitated to ask him: "Does your mother's opinion really matter?"
