"What's wrong?" Jian Xinyu stood up, turned on the light, and asked when she saw him sweating profusely.
Zhang Zhou shook his head.
Jian Xinyu glanced at him, put on her coat, got out of bed and poured him a glass of water.
The kettle was left in the room for half the night, and after keeping it warm, the water became half-warm, just drinkable.
She poured half a cup and turned around, and before she knew it, the man was already behind her.
She gasped in shock, "Why are you so scary?"
"I'm thirsty." Zhang Zhou stared at the enamel pot, his voice very hoarse.
Jian Xinyu hurried over.
When Zhang Zhou's mouth touched the rim of the cup, his Adam's apple began to roll up and down, gurgling, like a desert in the rain, getting a moment of relief.
Drink it all.
Jian Xinyu had never seen him like this before, out of control, anxious, and a little panicked as if he had woken up from a big dream.
After he finished drinking and handed her the empty glass, she poured him another half glass.
Still like a cow drinking.
After that, his voice finally returned to normal, "I dreamed of my grandpa."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"Nothing. Grandpa just thought the chili sauce wasn't spicy enough, and grandma likes it sweet but not cloyingly sweet."
"..." Is this a serious dream?
"I still want to know what Big Brother did."
As a result, he, who had not returned home for many years, became a role model of a filial son and a virtuous grandson in the family.
When he woke up the next day, he felt much more relaxed and told Qiao Yu about his dream.
Qiao Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "The old man didn't have a meal that he liked before he passed away. He fought with me every day just for that bite of food. It doesn't make sense that he can't get what he wants after he dies.
I'll talk to Junwazi later and ask him to choose spicy varieties for the peppers he grows in his yard."
Zhang Zhou was surprised: "The chili sauce you made uses chili peppers grown by your military son himself?"
"How big is the yard? I can't grow enough peppers myself. I have to buy them. But you know, the climate here is dry. Eating too spicy peppers can easily cause internal heat. Most pepper varieties are not spicy...
Well, we need to find someone.”
Qiao Yu couldn't help but complain: "The old man has been gone for such a long time, he really causes trouble. Why doesn't he appear in my dreams? I have to ask you to convey his message. It's a rare trip for you to come back, so you should just help him pass on the message, right?"
Zhang Zhou didn't know how to describe this feeling.
It seemed that, as terrifying and unbelievable as it was for other people to have a relative entrust a message in a dream, in front of my younger sister, it was as if grandpa was still alive, still the unruly old child who needed her to scold and discipline him more.
When she said this, she was complaining in front of the whole family, and everyone else looked as if they were used to it...
Once again, brush away the sadness in your heart.
Next, Zhang Zhou asked what his elder brother had done.
At this point, Qiao Yu looked at Zhang Zhan with a meaningful look. No matter how much Zhang Zhan pleaded, she didn't give him any face and told him everything that this bastard brother had done!
The more Zhang Zhou listened, the more...
no.
Their grandfather was a lovesick man, and their father loved his wife no matter how much, but how come Zhang Zhan became a playboy with a messy life? !
In this era, people who behave in a disorderly manner are looked down upon.
Qiao Yu also felt that with Zhang Zhan around, the family tradition had been corrupted.
Zhang Zhou listened to what Qiao Yu said, and his eyes finally fell on Zhang Zhan, "No wonder Grandpa didn't blame me for not returning home for several years and missing his funeral."
No wonder the younger sister insisted on waiting until the older brother came home before going to pay homage to grandpa.
It seems that my younger sister wanted to let him see how welcoming grandpa is to him with big brother as a reference.
However...
Did my eldest brother really have two illegitimate daughters?
I heard this from my younger sister, and there is no doubt that it is 100% true.
But there is a difference between this big brother and the one in my memory.
He had seen his elder brother in high spirits.
Perhaps those who work in scientific research can tell a person's personality from a young age. To put it nicely, he is a man who can keep things to himself, but to put it bluntly, he is a taciturn person.
Because of his introverted personality, he was easily bullied. In middle school, he was protected by his mentor, and since then he has been protected by this big brother.
Big brother has many friends and everyone likes him.
Whether adults or boys and girls of the same age.
Grandpa once said that he would focus on scientific research in the future, and his elder brother would be in the government and protect him. If he encountered any trouble, he would look for his elder brother.
Later, grandpa passed away, and my younger sister and brother-in-law became officials, while my eldest brother went into business and became more and more absurd.
The eldest brother became the one being protected.
"Brother, are you happy now?" Zhang Zhou asked suddenly.
Zhang Zhan exclaimed, his smile gradually widening, and said to him: "Second brother, as long as you experience the life of drunkenness and dreaming, surrounded by beauties, you will be happy."
Qiao Yu stood up and kicked Zhang Zhan. The latter seemed to be on guard and jumped up and ran out.
She was accusing someone of something else: "I'm going to die! No one in this family is worrying me! Zhang Zhan! Don't tell your story to the family in the future! It's fine if you're a playboy, but you're even thicker-skinned than a city wall! What if you corrupt the good child at home! The second sister-in-law is here! You're destroying the relationship between husband and wife! You're a bad boy!"
Zhang Zhou, who was labeled a "good kid" by his younger sister: ...
Jian Xinyu, who was feeling uncomfortable after hearing what her uncle said, said:
Qiao Yu turned around and changed his face like a Sichuan opera, pushing Zhang Zhou away, holding the hand of his second sister-in-law Jian Xinyu, and smiled kindly: "Second sister-in-law, don't listen to my eldest brother's nonsense. My second brother is the most honest person, and he has been with you for many years. He doesn't care about what's going on outside. How could he do such a stupid thing?
My eldest brother is not from the Zhang family. He probably inherited the genes from my grandmother's family and is a mixed-race. But my second brother inherited the good genes from my grandfather. Second brother, second brother, please say something..."

"Hmm? Hmm." What did he say?
He only saw his little sister chattering and never closed her mouth. The noise made his head hurt.
She had said everything, so how could he have room to add anything?
Qiao Yu glared at the beast, and then said to his second sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, it's just right that you're back. I saw that you didn't bring many clothes. Let's go shopping some other day. There are so many fashionable clothes brought back from Hong Kong City now! You're staying for a long time this time, so buy more bright and beautiful things..."
Jian Xinyu and Zhang Zhou just said "um, okay, oh" and followed Qiao Yu's thoughts, forgetting what Zhang Zhan said.
…
This year's Spring Festival Gala, I still went to the scene.
Their whole family sat in the first row. Because Zhang Zhou, Jian Xinyu and Zhou Siwen are now protected national treasures, they are very low-key and informed the director and host in advance that the camera would not fall on them and the host would not interview them.
Even though the hottest star of the moment, Zhou Hefeng, was sitting between their two tables.
This is Xiaoyong's stage name.
It was a stage name that was calculated by someone, and it really became a big hit.
Xiaoyong is not only talented in acting, but he is also gentle and polite when being interviewed in person. He can respond to various questions, sing and dance well, and can be said to be an all-round artist.
The market has been opened up not only in the mainland, but also in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
After releasing his personal album this year, he became popular all over Asia, so he will have a program on this year's Spring Festival Gala.
Even if there is a show, as long as he is in the audience, sitting with his family, the camera will not turn to him, and the host will not come off the stage for interviews.
