"Hu Ao! As long as I, an old man, am not dead, it will be no problem for me to protect you and your generations." General Zhou slapped Zhou Yuanyuan's head angrily, and then a feeling of desolation surged in his heart.
Yes! While the old man was still alive, there was no need to worry about the safety of the generations. What if he died? Zhixin was too stubborn, and Jiasheng had no interest in a career. This family could only rely on their great-granddaughter and great-grandson-in-law to support them.
However, his family, Yuan Yuan, was not someone to be trifled with. If he hadn't been suppressing her all the time, she wouldn't have let anyone, let alone Zhu Xiangyang, mess with her if someone more powerful than Zhu Xiangyang had provoked her.
"Ouch~!" Zhou Yuanyuan stretched out her hand exaggeratedly and rubbed the part that was slapped by General Zhou.
"Come here and let me see. Does it hurt?" General Zhou was a little worried when he saw Zhou Yuanyuan grinning.
Zhou Yuanyuan quickly put down her hand that was rubbing her head and said with a smile, "Grandpa Zeng, it doesn't hurt at all. I was just kidding."
"Naughty!" General Zhou smiled.
"Grandpa Zeng, things have already happened like this. Whether Zhu Xiangyang believes it or not, we can't make the decision for him. If he really turns against us, it's not too late for us to deal with it." Zhou Yuanyuan spread his hands and gave General Zhou a very unsophisticated suggestion.
Zhou Yuanyuan felt ashamed that General Zhou, at his age, had to worry about their generation. If Zhu Xiangyang was really a confused person, she wouldn't mind...
"That's right. The initiative in this matter lies in Zhu Xiangyang's hands. It's too early for us to worry about it now. There will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain. There is no need to worry about it." General Zhou was a straightforward person. Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan had already made up his mind, he put the matter aside.
"By the way, Jiasheng hasn't called home for a long time. Has he contacted you?" General Zhou couldn't help but ask with concern when he remembered that he hadn't seen Zhou Jiasheng for a long time.
"Brother hasn't come back since I was away from home?" Zhou Yuanyuan was stunned.
Zhou Jiasheng was a family man. In Zhou Yuanyuan's impression, no matter how busy he was, he would always come home once every two months to have a meal with his family.
"No, Chouzi called me three months ago. He had to catch up on a research project and wouldn't be home for the time being. After the research results come out, he will have to make some time to come out and see his girlfriend." When talking about this, General Zhou smiled even more.
Just over half a year had passed since Zhao Yunxiang had arranged a matchmaking for Zhou Jiasheng and Zhu Juan. Zhou Jiasheng's refusal to comply at the time had been a source of much amusement for everyone in the Zhou family.
General Zhou thought Zhou Jiasheng was still young and didn't understand the relationship between men and women, so he specifically instructed Zhao Yunxiang not to force Zhou Jiasheng to go on blind dates or get engaged. Unexpectedly, Zhou Jiasheng had already quietly picked the girlfriend he liked.
If Zhou Jiasheng had not repeatedly told General Zhou not to tell Zhao Yunxiang about this, General Zhou would have urged Zhao Yunxiang to go to the girl's family to propose marriage.
General Zhou longed for Zhou Jiasheng to get married soon so he could have his great-great-great-grandchildren! He thought of Zhou Jiasheng getting married, and the prospect of having a few more plump, white grandchildren. General Zhou would be so happy. He's old! That's all he has left.
"You stinky brother, you forgot about your sister now that you have Sister Cao. If he doesn't bring me a gift when he comes back this time, I will definitely make him pay!" Zhou Yuanyuan bared her teeth and waved her hand in a ferocious manner.
Humph! No wonder my brother didn't come home! It turns out he was just trying to finish his work quickly so he could make time to visit Sister Cao!
"Huh? My dear, do you know Jiasheng's girlfriend? And the old man, is the girl pretty? What's her personality like?" General Zhou sensitively noticed the three words "Sister Cao" in Zhou Yuanyuan's name and hurried over to inquire for first-hand information.
"Grandpa Great, ask my brother, he can't reveal it." Zhou Yuanyuan realized then that she had let the cat out of the bag.
"Yes, we'll ask Jiasheng when he comes back. If he says no, we won't let his girlfriend in from now on." General Zhou laughed heartily, feeling unusually relaxed.
At this moment, General Zhou and Zhou Yuanyuan put all their worries behind them.
"Master, Minister Zhu is here. He has something urgent to discuss with you." At this time, Zhou Xi's voice sounded outside the study door.
So fast? General Zhou and Zhou Yuanyuan suppressed their smiles and glanced at each other, both of them with surprise on their faces.
Judging from Zhu Xiangyang's speed, he clearly came to the Zhou family immediately after requesting a special envoy order from the top leader.
"Whether it is a mule or a horse depends on this!" General Zhou joked.
"Well, no matter whether it's a mule or a horse, if it dares to show its hooves when it comes to our door, we will cut it into pieces." After Zhou Yuanyuan responded humorously, General Zhou laughed "hahaha" again.
After laughing, General Zhou leaned on the armrests of the chair and stood up.
"Grandpa Great, please hold my hand." Zhou Yuanyuan obediently held one of General Zhou's arms and walked out of the study.
Zhu Xiangyang sat in the Zhou family's living room, looking towards the stairs from time to time.
The Zhou family's study is on the second floor, and Zhu Xiangyang has already heard General Zhou's laughter.
A few minutes after Zhou Xi came down from upstairs, General Zhou appeared on the stairs.
"Brother Jinyu." When Zhu Xiangyang saw General Zhou, he quickly stood up from the sofa.
Zhu Xiangyang, who had something to ask for, was a little more respectful and a little less casual towards General Zhou than usual.
"Xiangyang, sit down! There's no need for all that empty talk between us." General Zhou pretended not to know why Zhu Xiangyang came, pointed at the sofa, and motioned Zhu Xiangyang to sit down and talk.
Seeing General Zhou's gloomy face, Zhu Xiangyang felt a little uneasy.
When Zhu Xiangyang went to ask for the special commission, the top leader did not give it to him immediately. Instead, he asked Zhu Xiangyang to wait outside for about ten minutes before letting him go in to get it.
Zhu Xiangyang was a little suspicious. He wondered if the Supreme Leader had already discussed something with General Zhou during the past ten minutes. After all, in the Supreme Leader's heart, his status was still not as high as General Zhou's.
At this time, Zhou Xi brought over two cups of tea.
After putting away the tea tray in his hand, Zhou Xi stood naturally behind General Zhou.
When Zhu Xiangyang saw Zhou Xi's familiar movements, he couldn't help but feel dazed.
Zhu Xiangyang had always felt that General Zhou's young steward, Zhou An, was familiar to him. Now, Zhu Xiangyang discovered that Zhou An's every move was exactly the same as General Zhou's missing old steward, Zhou Xi.
"Xiangyang, have some tea." General Zhou greeted Zhu Xiangyang when he saw him in a daze.
"Brother Jinyu, there's something I want to ask you for a favor." Zhu Xiangyang didn't seem to hear General Zhou's call. He rolled the words on his tongue several times and then gritted his teeth and said them out.
