Chapter 2039 Reunion
Xiao Qianshi made preparations, and in early May, Zhou Silang indeed came to the capital with his family. Zhou Erlang and Fengshi followed them. Zhou Lijun took his younger brothers and sisters out of the capital to pick them up. When Fengshi saw the three siblings, she didn't dare to recognize them.
Not to mention Zhou Lijun and Zhou Liru, even Zhou Liwei is very different from before.
The three were very happy to see their parents. Zhou Liwei ran towards his father, and Zhou Lijun and Zhou Liru also ran towards their father. The three of them looked at Zhou Erlang with bright eyes and shouted, "Dad!"
"Hey!" Zhou Erlang looked at the three children, reached out and patted Zhou Liwei's shoulder, his teeth showing in joy. "Good boy, you have grown so tall!"
He couldn't help but praise Lijun and Liru, "They are all grown-up girls now."
Feng, who was also very excited, saw that the three children were rushing towards Zhou Erlang. She became unhappy and couldn't help coughing.
Zhou Lijun immediately smiled and pulled his younger brother and sister to call her "Mom".
Feng was happy in her heart, but she tried to keep a straight face, and she couldn't help but bring some out, "Okay, your grandparents are in the back, go and greet them."
The three of them went to the back to pay their respects. Zhou Dalang had already arrived and was talking to the old Zhou's wife, Qian. When he saw Zhou Lijun coming, he said, "Dad, let's go back first. The child's mother is at home cooking."
Old Zhou nodded.
Feng loved her son dearly and was holding his hand as she said, "I miss you so much. Although you've grown taller, you look thinner. I'll make you something delicious later."
Zhou Liwei's body stiffened, and he quickly declined, "Mom, I'm not thin, I don't want to tire you out."
Everyone returned to Zhou's house in a lively atmosphere.
It was the first time for Zhou Erlang and Feng Shi to come here. Before coming, they had heard their father talk about how many big houses there were in the capital more than once, but they didn't feel anything. When they really stood in front of the door, they couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
When they came back in, everyone greeted each other in a lively atmosphere. Then, when the three children moved their things to the backyard and settled them, they turned their eyes away from other places, swallowed their saliva and asked, "Are all these yards ours?"
Zhou Liwei said, "Not only this side, there's another row in the middle, and there's another row of courtyards going down over there. However, the courtyards over there are wider, with fewer rooms, but the scenery is quite nice. At the end is a large garden. Dad, you take a rest first. I'll take you to see it after dinner."
Zhou Erlang was shocked. "Such a big house..."
And in the capital, how much is it worth?
Zhou Erlang was just thinking in his heart, but Feng asked directly.
Zhou Lijun said, "I don't know how much it's worth, because houses here are basically not for sale. Only the rich or noble can live in this area. This house is a gift from the prince, otherwise we wouldn't be able to live here."
Feng was shocked, and then she remembered to ask, "Where is your aunt? I haven't seen her yet."
"My aunt is in the palace," Zhou Liru said, "She is on duty today and cannot take leave. She has to wait until her day off before leaving the palace."
Feng then remembered to ask Zhou Liru, "How are you doing learning medicine from your aunt?"
Zhou Liru said nervously, "It's good. My aunt said I'm doing well and told me to study slowly."
Feng was very excited. "Can you take people's pulses and prescribe medicine now?"
She said, "I heard that Datou's wife is also your aunt's apprentice. She has only been studying for two or three years and has become a medical assistant. Your grandfather said that she will become an imperial physician like your aunt in the future and will also be able to divide hundreds of acres of land."
Zhou Lijun's three siblings: ...
Zhou Liru couldn't help but say, "Mother, Senior Sister only studied with my aunt for two or three years, but before that she had been working as a female doctor in the Imperial Hospital for many years."
Zhou Lijun said, "Mother, that land is official land, not allocated to my aunt. If my aunt no longer works as an official, or changes her job, the land must be returned."
He added, "The reason why my aunt was able to get so much land is not only because she is an imperial physician, but also because she is an editor."
Feng didn't even understand the official title, but it sounded very powerful.
Zhou Liwei said directly: "Mother, please don't rush Third Sister. Let her learn slowly. My aunt said that it's not too late to learn medicine after ten years."
"Then your aunt hasn't studied for so many years..."
"My aunt is so smart, how can we compare to her?" Zhou Liwei said matter-of-factly, "When it comes to memorizing a text, my aunt can memorize it after reading it twice, while we might not be able to memorize it even after reading it twenty times. So, one day of her effort is equivalent to ten days of our effort, and one year is equivalent to ten years of our effort. Just calculate how many years she has studied."
Feng: ...Is that how it’s calculated?
She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was.
Zhou Erlang had already opened the bundle and taken out everything inside. Seeing that Feng was still thinking, he said, "Don't think about it. Even mother took a long time to figure out something. How can you figure it out yourself? Let them do it themselves."
Feng: ...What are you talking about? Are you saying she is stupid?
Zhou Erlang was already looking at Zhou Liwei and Zhou Lijun with a smile and asked, "Come, tell me, have you found anyone you love in the past two years in the capital?"
Zhou Liwei lowered his head and blushed. Zhou Lijun was about to say no, but when she saw it, she was stunned for a moment and lowered her head as well. Then she held her breath for a long time before her face turned red. Then she quietly exhaled...
Zhou Erlang didn't notice it, but he became happy when he saw his two children blushing. It seemed that even if they didn't have a lover, they had finally come to their senses.
It's much easier to get married once you get the idea. It's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words. Just look at a few suitable ones when the time comes. There will always be one that you like.
It's hard to deal with people like Lao Liu who refuses to learn the ropes and thinks keeping money is better than getting married.
He came to Beijing this time just for his children's marriages, so he didn't care about anything else as long as they found suitable marriages.
Zhou Erlang smiled and decided to find time in the evening to have a private chat with his two children so that they wouldn't feel embarrassed in front of him.
He happily pulled Feng away, and Zhou Lijun finally breathed a sigh of relief. When she looked up, she saw Zhou Liwei and Zhou Liru looking at her in surprise.
Zhou Lijun raised his eyebrows and asked, "What for?"
Zhou Liwei swallowed and asked, "Second sister, you, you have a lover?"
Zhou Liru also stared at her closely.
Zhou Lijun said, "Not yet. Aren't you afraid that Dad will mess up the relationship or make me return home?"
She paused and asked Zhou Liwei, "Do you have a crush on someone?"
Zhou Liwei hesitated for a moment and then said, "Well, not really...I guess so."
"Yes, yes. No, no." Zhou Lijun couldn't help but pat him. "Do you still want to deceive this little girl?"
"No, we haven't talked much. I, I like her very much, but I don't know if she likes me," Zhou Liwei explained anxiously. Then he remembered something and said immediately, "Besides, you're not engaged yet. How can I get ahead of you?"
I'm really sorry for today. I originally wanted to write an update after changing hotels at noon, so I should have been able to update before 2 o'clock. As a result, I was delayed on the way, and then I rushed to the new hotel as soon as I washed up, so I didn't update until now.
I'm sorry for making you guys keep refreshing today. I will ask for leave in time next time.
