urban life

Chapter 475

In the early morning, the sun is already hanging in the sky, shining on the earth.

The golden sunlight hit Zhou An's eyes directly, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

He subconsciously put his hand on Hou Mengting's shoulder, but it felt empty.

Oh.

Mrs. Zhou went to work.

Ugh!
Zhou An couldn't help but sighed lightly.

Back then, he got up early to exercise and run, and dressed and washed Hou Mengting, but now he started to stay in bed, and Mrs. Zhou got up earlier than him.

No, it's not that Hou Mengting got up early.

But Zhou An got up late.

Zhou An had to admit.

When people reach middle age, they lack energy.

In the past, he wished he could stay in bed with Hou Mengting all day long, discuss human biology together, and contribute to the great plan of mankind; now he is a little frustrated and lost, and he has slowed down in his contribution to mankind.

Well the old saying goes.

Thirty is like a wolf, and forty is like a tiger.

The corner of Zhou An's mouth twitched. Hou Mengting was only thirty, so he would have to suffer for decades in the future.

He seemed to have foreseen the scene where he was "skinned and cramped".

Zhou An took a deep breath and sat up immediately. There was a glass of clear water on the bedside table, which was filled with goji berries, half water and half goji berries, and there was a note under it, which read:

"As a middle-aged person, there is no choice but to soak wolfberries in a thermos. Little trash, (~_,~)!"

Hou Mengting's dismissive face flashed in Zhou An's mind.

Hou Mengting, I am at odds with you, he thought viciously while drinking wolfberry water.

Times have changed. In the past, he suppressed the opponent and killed that woman online; now, that woman has actually pushed him to the ground.

Zhou An dressed slowly, and then dragged his slippers out of the bedroom, a little lazy, a little tired, and a little helpless.

He went straight to a stone table in the small courtyard, sat down, made a cup of tea casually, sipped the tea, and stared into the distance blankly, as if he had fallen into another world.

"Zhou An, you are getting lazy." The old mother Lu Yulan said to him while cleaning the yard, "I used to make breakfast for us early in the morning, but now we make breakfast, you don't even look at it. Let's just sit there and drink tea together, like an old man, am I your mother, or are you my mother?"

"Mom, today is a special occasion."

"Menopause?"

"."

Zhou An didn't want to respond.

Today Saturday, the two children did not go to kindergarten and were playing at home.

Zhou Liang sat on one side of the stone table, holding a children's book to himself, reading it with great interest.

Zhou An and Hou Mengting are not people who love to read, but their sons like books very much, and read with their hands whenever they have nothing to do. Although Zhou Liang is small, he has read a lot of books, even if he excludes the study textbooks. , Zhou An did not read as many books as his son.

Zhou An even made a special study room for Zhou Liang, which was filled with all kinds of books.

"Baby, take a break, don't be too tired." Hou Lin touched Zhou Liang's small head and said softly.

"My lord, I'm not tired." A smile appeared on Zhou Liang's face.

Originally, according to the custom, Zhou Liang should call Hou Lin grandpa and Liu Shuhua grandma, but Zhou An always felt that the word "outside" cut off the relationship between relatives, so he removed the word "outside" and left only "gong", "" Mother-in-law".

The two children address Lu Yulan and Teacher Zhou, usually "Ye" and "Nai".

"Grandpa, are you feeling better?" Zhou Liang put down his books, ran behind Hou Lin, and lightly hammered his back.

As people get older, their bones become more and more unable to withstand the toss.

Hou Lin just stretched his waist a few days ago, but he was bent all of a sudden.

I went to the hospital for a checkup and found nothing serious, just pay more attention to rest.

"Good morning." Hou Lin enjoyed Zhou Liang's service, narrowed his eyes, put his hands on his waist, and looked energetic, "It's just a slight injury, and it was healed at the moment of the fracture.

Sun, it’s not for you to brag about me. My physical fitness is very good. When I was young, in the midst of the mountains, the whole mountain was covered by heavy snow. The snow was at least three or four meters deep, and your father and I entered alone. In the deep mountains, there is no trace of snow, and there is no trace left, and I also met a tiger. At that time, it was called a crisis, and my expression did not change."

Zhou An twitched the corner of his mouth, complaining in his heart: Treading Wuhen?You are almost becoming a master of martial arts, aren't you bragging?
The old man can't change his bragging character.

While Zhou Liang hammered his back, he raised his head and stared at Hou Lin, his small eyes were full of stars.

For Hou Lin, that is quite admirable.

One dares to boast, the other dares to believe.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Aooooooooooow."

Zhou An looked back.

I saw Zhou Lingmeng was pulling the two dogs, Samoyed and Husky, turned his lower body, then rolled onto Samoyed's back, shook the rope, and shouted loudly like a female general: "Drive!"

Samoyed July cast a look for help to Zhou An, and the latter shrugged, looking helpless.

As if knowing that Zhou An was unreliable, Qiyue sat on the ground all of a sudden, posing as if she was wronged and about to die.

Zhou Lingmeng walked up to the Samoyed, looked at its dead dog, then opened Qiyue's eyes and mouth to examine it carefully.

Zhou An's two children have very different personalities, one is quiet and the other is mischievous.

Zhou Lingmeng is the naughty one.

She had gone through everything at home, and when she arrived at the kindergarten, she still wanted to go through Deng Xi.

Simply annoying.

What's even more annoying is that Zhou Lingmeng is like her mother, a ghostly ghost, and often puts on a pitiful look after getting into trouble.

No one in their family was willing to beat her up.

Still at large.

bang-

The sound of the door opening instantly attracted the attention of the whole family.

Zhou Liang and Zhou Lingmeng reacted the fastest, and hurried to the door, shouting, "Auntie."

It was Zhou Zihui who came.

Wearing a simple and elegant dress with a bow tied around the waist, a pair of transparent white sandals and a pair of black-rimmed glasses on her feet, she looks quiet and elegant.

Her skin is snow-white, with a rose-colored pink, and her crystal-like eyes are big and energetic.

"aunt."

"aunt."

Two children ran to her side, each holding a thigh, looking up at Zhou Zihui.

A flower-like smile bloomed on Zhou Zihui's face, she squatted down, and pinched the faces of the two of them: "Are you being good lately?"

"good."

"I'm so good." Zhou Lingmeng sometimes burst out a sentence or two with a Northeast accent.

Zhou Zihui folded her arms, frowned slightly, and an angry expression appeared on her face: "How did I hear that someone snatched other children's toys in the kindergarten?"

"Who?" Zhou Lingmeng poked his neck, "Who is spreading rumors about me?"

After a pause, she said to Zhou Zihui with a serious face: "Auntie, don't believe in rumors and don't spread rumors."

"My aunt doesn't like children who bully others." Zhou Zihui played with Zhou Lingmeng's hair.

Was playing with two dogs just now and messed up both of her ponytails.

"I'm sorry, Auntie."

"Knowing your mistakes can make a big difference." After tying up the two ponytails, Zhou Zihui looked at her niece, hummed softly, and was quite happy, "Auntie forgives you. In Auntie's heart, you will always be a good boy."

"whee."

For some reason, Zhou Lingmeng and Zhou Liang loved this aunt Zhou Zihui very much, and Zhou Zihui kept pestering her when she arrived at their house.

Zhou Zihui also loves her nephews and nieces very much. Even in front of the two children, her extremely introverted personality will be concealed by her cheerful and extroverted personality. The three of them had a great time.

The relationship with Zhou An for more than 20 years is no match for two children.

As soon as they got home, the three played together.

At noon, the family gathered together.

"Eat more." Lu Yulan gave Zhou Zihui a piece of fish, "You're already skinny."

"Oh." She looked at the pile of food and responded softly. Then, taking advantage of Lu Yulan's inattention, she gave Zhou Lingmeng the oysters in the bowl, "Eat more, you will lose weight."

"Thank you, aunt." Zhou Lingmeng thanked while grilling the rice, "I have indeed lost weight recently."

"."

Zhou An was speechless.

There is unlimited supply of meat, eggs and milk every day at home, and Zhou Lingmeng also said that he has lost weight.

The ability to tell lies with open eyes is comparable to that of her mother.

"That's right." Lu Yulan suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Xiaohui, do you have a boyfriend?"

"No." Zhou Zihui lowered her head.

"Then you have to hurry up." Lu Yulan became anxious, "Back in college, my aunt understood that you didn't talk about your boyfriend, but now you are a graduate student, and it's time to find a home for yourself.

If there is a boy you like, tell your aunt, and your aunt will go and talk to you. "

During college, Zhou Zihui has been living in a daze.

When she was in her senior year, she suddenly had an idea that she wanted to go to the postgraduate entrance examination and further study.

After receiving the support of her family, Zhou Zihui worked hard in her senior year and was finally admitted to the graduate school with her own strength.

Now Zhou Zihui is the most educated person in their old Zhou family.

Although she was admitted to graduate school, in the four years of university, Zhou Zihui has never dated a boyfriend, nor been close to a boy, and has not even been rumored to be a scandal. She has always been a loner in university.

For this matter, their family was worried and worried.

What to do if this goes on.

Hearing Lu Yulan's question, Zhou Zihui lowered her voice: "No."

"without?."

After hearing the words, Lu Yulan wanted to say a few more words, but Zhou An interrupted the old mother's words, and said softly: "Oh, Mom, it's because Xiaohui hasn't met the right person yet. , it's so easy to meet a good home, don't worry, Xiaohui is still young, just take it slowly.

Also, I met Hou Mengting after graduation for several years, love is something to wait for, and it will bloom slowly.”

Zhou An is just a younger sister, who has this life but no afterlife.

He will not force Zhou Zihui to do something, and he will also block some nagging from his family for his sister.

Even if it's love and marriage, if she doesn't want to, Zhou An will support it.

"What if you have no one to rely on when you are old?"

"Who said there is nothing to rely on." Zhou An put down the bowl and chopsticks, "When I grow old, Zhou Lingmeng and Zhou Liang will also take care of Xiaohui."

After a pause, he touched the heads of the two children: "Will you take care of your aunt when she grows old?"

"willing!"

"Auntie, you are a woman of the new era, and I feel respect for you." Zhou Liang saluted.

Zhou Zihui quickly returned the salute with a serious face.

Seeing them, Lu Yulan shook her head and stopped nagging.

After eating, Zhou An put his hands behind his back, walked around the small courtyard, and slowly walked to digest his food.

"Thank you brother." Zhou Zihui walked over.

"You call me brother, thank you so much." Zhou An didn't take it seriously, "Love is not a necessity, everyone has their own way they want to go, let others talk about their own way, don't bother you The nagging of family members is also for your own good, just go in the left ear and out the right ear.

Regarding the nagging of the elders, I have a suggestion for you.Accept it humbly and stick to it! "

"Hey." Zhou Zihui laughed, "Brother, what would happen if you didn't meet your sister-in-law?"

"What else can you do, be a bachelor." Zhou An replied, "Then what would you do if you didn't meet the right person?"

"What else can I do, play a bachelor."

"I'm already a graduate student, but I'm still not educated. Steal my lines."

"whee."

The two siblings chatted for a while.

Most of the time, Zhou An enlightened Zhou Zihui, hoping that she would not have too many thoughts because of the urging of the elders. Zhou An was afraid that the urging of the elders would make her unable to bear it, and she would have the idea of ​​random blind date and marriage.

That's no different than jumping into a fire pit.

Fortunately, Zhou Zihui has matured a lot. Compared with before, she has been able to regulate her mood swings.

"Brother, Shi Yin is looking for me. I'll go first, and I'll come to see you another day." Zhou Zihui answered the phone and said to Zhou An immediately.

"Go." Zhou An waved his hand.

Zhou Zihui greeted the family, pinched the soft faces of the two children, and then drove away.

After half an hour's drive, Zhou Zihui came to a shopping mall, and immediately saw her best friend Shi Yin.

Shi Yin is tall, well-proportioned, with slender legs, walking gracefully like a model on the road.Although he was wearing a mask, his exposed eyes were piercing, shining with wisdom and wisdom.

People can't help but want to find out and explore the beautiful face hidden under the mask.

Seeing Zhou Zihui, the other party shook his arm vigorously.

She walked over and said in surprise, "Why are you wearing a mask?"

"Don't mention it." Shi Yin took Zhou Zihui's arm and said in a helpless tone, "There is a crazy fan who likes me and insists on falling in love with me, and even came to my door. I was scared, my heart I almost jumped out, and now I have to wear a mask when I go out, just in case."

"Become a big star."

"Low-key, low-key, I'm not someone who likes to show off."

After graduating from university, Shi Yin devoted herself to the MC industry. With the help of Hou Mengting's massive resources, she created her own sky in the industry.

She deeply understands that everything today is due to Zhou An. Without Zhou An's help, the competition in the MCN industry is under such great pressure, how can she, an ordinary little girl, earn a piece of the pie.

"Would you like me to sign for you?"

"No."

"What do you want?" Shi Yin said coquettishly, "If he really becomes a big star in the future, his autograph will be worth a fortune. If you hold my autograph, it will be more face-saving."
