After taking two buses, they got off at Di'anmen. Along the way, A-Lian had many questions to ask, but she could see that Xiangxiang's heart seemed to be elsewhere, so she followed quietly and would ask later.
When they arrived at Zhima Hutong, Zhou Xiang walked even faster, and A Lian could only jog.
The door to the courtyard was wide open. Zhou Xiang ran into the courtyard and saw at a glance that the main room was almost full of people.
Old Mrs. Liu, the blind lady, his parents, Jin Chao, Wu Haotian, his eldest brother, his third brother, Jiang Weihua, Chen Ou and Wang Qiao were all looking at the yard quietly.
When everyone saw the person suddenly jumping into the yard, they blinked in disbelief, because during the half day they gathered together every day, they were looking at the yard with anticipation, hoping that the person they cared about would suddenly walk into the yard and shout that she was back.
But now, the smiling person who appeared in the yard just looked at them quietly. This must be an illusion, right?
"Are you in a meeting? Or meditating?"
Zhou Xiang couldn't help it. She came back, and no one welcomed her?
Not an illusion?
While everyone was still coming to their senses, Zhou Niao quickly stood up, took a few steps to his sister, and hugged her in his arms. Hmm! It wasn't an illusion, it was his sister.
"Sister, it's my sister, sister, you're finally back. They said you were kidnapped, how could you be so stupid? You believe what bad people say? You even told me not to trust strangers!"
Zhou Niao cried and blamed her disobedient sister.
Zhou Xiang was furious. "Who taught me that?" he asked. "Stand up! I promise I won't beat you to death."
When Jiang Weihua heard that his nephew had betrayed him, he immediately took a step back behind everyone who stood up. He was afraid that his nephew would ask him every day where his sister had gone.
How could Zhou Xiang not have seen his actions? He didn't have time to pay attention to him now.
Because she was snatched away by her third brother, "Brother, let me hug my sister."
Zhou Niao knew that his younger brother was very sad these days, so he gave his sister to his younger brother.
As soon as Zhou Hua hugged his sister, tears began to fall. It had been two weeks since he learned that his sister was missing, and he had been living in guilt.
The eldest brother is not very intelligent, so he should be the pillar of the family. However, not only did he fail to do so, he also became a burden to his younger sister.
Zhou Xiang felt his third brother's silent crying and guilt, and patted his back. "Third brother, you did nothing wrong in this matter. You don't need to feel guilty. It was Yang Ji and Ping Zhengping who teamed up to deal with me out of hatred for each other."
Zhou Hua whispered, "But you are Professor Z! If it weren't for your family and to fight against the Jiang family, you wouldn't..."
When Zhou Xiang heard this, he laughed, "Third brother, you misunderstood. If it weren't for him, I would have taken this path. Teacher Ran's father had long wanted to pull me down this path, but I still wanted some freedom, so I pretended not to understand why Teacher Ran went to Huai County and kept going against him. The Jiang family only brought my time forward, but they can't really control the path of my life."
Zhou Hua relaxed his sister and looked her straight in the eyes, "Really?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Really, I chose this path a long time ago."
Zhou Hua completely pushed her sister away and wiped away her tears. "Not only did you delay my classes for two weeks, but you also made me feel guilty and broke up with Mei Zi. You have to compensate me!"
He should believe Zuo Heng. Zuo Heng continued to go to class and work with peace of mind, saying that his sister would be fine and would definitely come back safely.
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Okay! I'll compensate you. What kind of compensation do you want?"
"Remember this first!"
"good!"
Then, Zhou Xiang was hugged by his mother. His mother was also crying with guilt. Zhou Xiang hugged his mother and said, "Okay, Mom! Don't you understand my ability? I could have escaped, but I followed him on purpose. Otherwise, there would be no end to it."
When Zhou's mother heard this, she pushed her little girl away, rubbed her eyes, and looked around the yard for a handy tool.
Zhou Xiang quickly ran behind his eldest brother and said, "Brother, save me quickly! Our mother is going to beat someone up."
Everyone was confused by this mother and daughter. What were they doing? The child was back, shouldn't they love him well?
The blind lady stopped Zhou's mother, and Zhou's mother angrily threw down the broom in her hand and went back into the house.
Zhou Xiang walked out from behind his eldest brother and waved to everyone in the yard, "I'm back."
Everyone didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The scene was so helpless.
Old Lady Liu walked out, leaning on her crutches. "I'm glad you're back! I'm going back so I can tell your aunt to rest assured that you're back alive and well."
Zhou Xiang answered seriously, "Yes, not only did I come back alive and well, I also brought someone back with me."
As he spoke, Zhou Xiang pulled A-Lian over to the door and introduced her to everyone: "This is my friend A-Lian, from Long Country."
A-Lian bowed slightly to the crowd, "Hello everyone!"
Everyone: "..."
Is this the Dragon people's way of greeting?
Zhou Xiang straightened A Lian and said to everyone, "She has lived in Country R since she was a child. She will gradually change."
Old Lady Liu looked at A Lian and continued to walk out. She didn't want to stay here any longer. She felt a little itchy when she saw it. She also saw that this granddaughter! No matter who got into trouble, she would be fine.
Chen Ou and Wang Qiao walked up to Zhou Xiang and asked, "Should we say welcome back?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes! This is the correct way to greet me."
"Tsk!" The two of them said in unison, and then returned to the main hall. They were also stupid. They had been able to deal with the six of them since they were young. How could anything go wrong? Maybe they were just traveling for a while.
Zhou Xiang: Misunderstanding, I really didn’t travel!
Everyone has returned to the main room, and everything is fine now that they are all back safely.
Zhou Xiang pulled A Lian and walked to Jiang Weihua. "This is my benefactor. She needs a job. It just so happens that there's no one to take care of your yard. 200 a month, including food and accommodation."
Jiang Weihua said he felt wronged, "Your benefactor, how could..."
Zhou Xiang just chuckled at him. He couldn't continue. "Okay! You're so cruel, 200 is 200."
"Then let's go! I'll send her to your place first, and then I'll come back to comfort your eldest sister!"
Helpless Jiang Weihua could only take the two of them away, and Ling Ran, who had just entered the door, naturally followed them.
This time, Zhou Xiang was patient and explained everything to A-Lian. Jiang Weihua frowned when he heard A-Lian's poor Chinese.
After entering the yard, Zhou Xiang briefly explained to A Lian the design principles of this two-courtyard style.
After taking her into the second hall, he asked Jiang Weihua, "Senior Jiang, which room should we put her in?"
Jiang Weihua raised his hand and pointed to the west, and Zhou Xiang happily pulled A Lian into the west room of the main house.
"Oh! Senior Jiang is so kind, A-Lian. He was worried that you would be scared living in the wing room, so he let you live in the west room of the main house. That's great. Living in the main house, you won't be scared at night. You, you must take good care of Senior Jiang!"
A-Lian nodded. This Senior Jiang, although he has a cold face, is a really nice person!
Jiang Weihua's arm froze as he pointed at the west wing. Could he say that he was referring to the west wing and not the west room?
