Chapter 74 Revenge
Under the greedy eyes of Zhou Yang's parents, Zhou Yang put all the dumplings back into the lunch box one by one, then closed the lid tightly and put it back into the bag.
Zhou Hai: “…”
He slurped his saliva and muttered softly, "It looks okay, it should be edible."
Mr. Zhou is a workaholic. It is rare for him to have a few days off during the Chinese New Year. These days, he gets up around 10 o'clock and has brunch.
It had been seven or eight hours since his last meal, and he was starving. Not to mention stale dumplings, he could even wolf down dumplings that could upset his stomach.
Zhou Yang's ears twitched, and when he heard his father's mumbling, he looked up and explained, "The doctor said it would be better for you to eat some liquid food."
After saying this, he left with a bag of dumplings.
Mother Zhou noticed that Zhou Hai's eyes were fixed on Zhou Yang's back for a long time and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Hai withdrew his gaze, frowned and thought for a while: "Did you see him ordering takeout just now?"
Mother Zhou didn't know why he asked that. After thinking for a while, she said, "I didn't see him. It was so chaotic just now that he didn't touch his phone at all. But when you were about to come out, he did pick up his phone, glanced at it, smiled, and then left after a while."
Zhou Hai was puzzled. "That's strange. Even though we don't have a good relationship, she's not so heartless. She ordered dumplings for three people in advance before she knew anything about me. Besides, we haven't eaten dumplings much in the past few years!"
Zhou's mother couldn't figure it out, so she gave up and advised Zhou Hai, "Why think so much? Forget about not eating the dumplings. The doctor did tell you to drink more water and eat more liquid food. Wait until he buys something else."
In just twenty minutes, Zhou Yang came in carrying three bags.
The whole ward was suddenly filled with the aroma of food.
The taste is very familiar, and the mixture of several flavors is not difficult to distinguish. Seafood porridge is Zhou Hai's favorite, and cross-bridge rice noodles is Zhou's mother's favorite.
Zhou Hai looked at the rice noodles and porridge in front of him, and tried hard to think of what his son liked to eat, but failed. He couldn't think of what Zhou Yang liked to eat, but Zhou Yang remembered his and his wife's taste.
These parents treat their son worse than the son treats his parents, Zhou Hai smiled self-deprecatingly.
Zhou Hai opened the food box while paying attention to Zhou Yang's movements.
The familiar blue bag of dumplings came into view, and Zhou Hai asked in confusion, "Why don't you just throw them away?"
Zhou Yang replied: "I'll eat the dumplings, and you guys can have porridge and rice noodles."
"It's not like we can't afford to eat it. If it's not fresh, just throw it away."
"Need not."
Zhou Hai always felt that his son was too filial. He bought hot and fresh food for his parents, with whom he had a bad relationship, and ate stale cold dumplings himself. The key was that he ate with great joy and satisfaction. He laughed while eating, and after taking a few bites he lowered his head to type a few words on his mobile phone.
His son wouldn't participate in any melodramatic □□, right?
The kind of person who unconditionally honors his parents and sacrifices himself for their own good?
Zhou Hai drank his porridge and watched his son anxiously. He saw his son put the remaining dumplings back into the lunch box and tied the bag. He looked at him cherishing them, as if he wanted to save them for another meal.
“………”
There is no need to be so frugal.
Zhou Hai felt extremely guilty. It must be because he had cancelled his son's credit card that he developed such a stingy habit.
After dinner, Zhou Yang went to get the CT report, which showed that it was indeed a kidney stone. The diameter of the stone was not big, but not small either. An operation was needed to break the stone into pieces and then excrete it.
There is no need to rush.
After taking the painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, Zhou Hai felt no pain and was almost as good as a normal person. He didn't want to have surgery in the hospital during the Lunar New Year, so he planned to wait until after the Lunar New Year when he had time.
The doctor also suggested doing it after the New Year, so the three of them took the medicine prescribed by the doctor and got into a taxi.
It was time for the New Year's Eve dinner. There were few cars on the road and it was not easy to stop a taxi. There was already someone sitting in the passenger seat, so the three of them had to squeeze in the back.
When Zhou Hai saw his son holding the box of leftover dumplings on his lap like a treasure, something suddenly flashed through his mind.
Could it be that these dumplings were made by my girlfriend?
No, Xiaoyang’s sexual orientation is male, could it be his boyfriend?
Zhou Hai wanted to find out, but he thought Zhou Yang would not admit it, so he gave up and secretly observed him in the future.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou left home in a hurry and didn't have time to turn off the heating. When they got home, the whole house was warm.
Zhou Hai had the furniture rearranged in advance. The sofa and the table were covered with snacks bought by Zhou Hai. Zhou's mother didn't eat any of them because she was on a diet, so those were all prepared by Zhou Hai for his son.
The whole house was not as cold as it was before Zhou Yang left. It had a sense of life and a warm atmosphere, which was the feeling Zhou Yang liked.
Seeing the joy in Zhou Yang's eyes, Zhou Hai knew that his arrangement was correct and he also became happy.
Zhou Hai turned on the TV and watched the Spring Festival Gala.
However, he hadn't watched it for many years. In recent years, in order to cater to the tastes of young people, the national TV station has designed more and more youthful programs. He watched two programs with gritted teeth, but couldn't bear to watch them anymore, so he picked up his mobile phone and started to check the financial news.
"Yan's Enterprise is in bankruptcy crisis?" Zhou Hai saw several similar news in a row and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Mother Zhou was applying a facial mask and was a little surprised when she heard this: "Yan family? The Yan family that makes cosmetics?"
Zhou Yang was about to send a WeChat message to Lin Qiyuan when he suddenly heard such a piece of news related to him. He was stunned and stopped what he was doing.
Seeing his wife and son were interested, Zhou Hai scanned the news and explained, "It seems the Yan family's cosmetics have serious quality issues. Someone reported it a few days ago with irrefutable evidence, and the Administration for Industry and Commerce came to visit today. Chairman Yan Chong was even taken away. It must be a serious matter, otherwise they wouldn't have taken him away the day before the holiday."
"Their products are quite popular. Aunt Xiaoyue wanted to give them to me last time. Fortunately, I didn't accept them. These cheap products are not safe." Mother Zhou had no connection with the Yan family, so she just made a few sarcastic remarks after hearing it.
"I know a little bit about Yan's cosmetics. I heard that there are indeed some issues with them, but they're not serious enough to be reported to the Industry and Commerce Bureau. I suspect someone in the Yan family has offended someone, otherwise they wouldn't have reported it during the New Year."
Zhou Yang felt that the incident was a bit too coincidental. He had just found out that Yan Zichen was the culprit who caused Lin Qiyuan's injury, or the culprit who wanted to kill him. He was about to take action when the Yan family was retaliated against.
"Dad, is there any movement from Yan Zichen?"
"Who? Yan Zichen?" Zhou Hai was surprised to hear a girl's name from his son. "It seems to be Yan Chong's daughter? Why are you asking her?"
"A friend of a friend, just asking casually." Zhou Yang said lightly, as if he didn't mind whether Zhou Hai answered or not.
"Oh, there really is news about her." Zhou Hai glanced down at the news again and read it word by word, "As the actual legal representative of the company, Yan Zichen, the eldest daughter of the Yan family, will also bear the primary responsibility. Currently, Yan Zichen has also arrived at the industrial and commercial administration department to accept the relevant investigation."
