Chapter 66 Old Man's Favor
Zhou Chongshan's gaze was silent and lasting for a long time.
"Xiaochuan and Xiaohua are also very capable. They picked a lot for me today... I just came back and haven't had time to make dinner yet. Chongshan, what kind of food do you like? We can cook it for dinner tonight."
Jiang Rou started planning dinner in her mind.
But the man in front of him was stunned.
Looking at her, he seemed in a trance.
"Chongshan?" Jiang Rou pulled Zhou Chongshan's arm, "I'm asking you, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Zhou Chongshan suddenly came back to his senses.
He swallowed his dry throat and said, "You want me to order?"
"Yes."
Jiang Rou nodded without thinking, not feeling anything was wrong.
Little did they know.
However, a warm breeze blew in Zhou Chongshan's heart.
In the Zhou family, Zhou Chongshan is the third child, with older brothers and sisters and a younger brother.
My elder brother is the eldest son and is favored by the elders.
My younger brother is the youngest son and is especially loved by his parents.
Zhou Chongshan, who was in the middle, was dispensable and ignored.
hours.
Except that my sister would sometimes ask, Chongshan, do you like this?
Others don't care about his preferences at all.
Moreover, poor rural families eat whatever they can get, so there is no chance for children to be picky.
After growing up.
Zhou Chongshan became a soldier and joined the army.
The army is a place with strict discipline and strict procedures.
Eat whatever is available in the army canteen.
Eating is just to fill your stomach, and you can eat anything you can swallow.
like……
It is a very luxurious thing.
But he likes the braised pork belly made by Jiang Rou, it is very fragrant and delicious.
Jiang Rou raised her head, looked at the man beside her, and asked again.
"These are wild vegetables after all. Some people may be allergic to them, and some may not like them... Chongshan, what do you like to eat the most?"
This time.
Zhou Chongshan had the answer in his heart.
"I like that—"
Zhou Chongshan pointed, pointing at the emerald green and tender pea tips.
Because he remembered that Jiang Rou had said "I like it very much" when she was speaking earlier.
He likes Jiang Rou.
He likes the food that Jiang Rou likes to eat.
For the first time, this tough guy felt some lingering emotions in his heart.
Jiang Rou had no idea what was going on in Zhou Chongshan's mind.
"This... peas are tender and delicious when fresh. If left overnight, they won't be as fresh anymore. It's just right to eat them at night."
She picked up the pea tips and prepared to take them into the yard to wash them.
When the two of them walked out.
Zhou Xiaochuan had just come out of the shower.
This time, Zhou Xiaochuan took a full half hour to take a shower.
This time was enough for him to apply soap twice and rub off a lot of black mud from his body.
The hot water poured over my body.
It is a feeling of smooth comfort all over the body.
That’s what…the soap smells so good.
He smelled like soap, like a girl.
The little wolf felt awkward.
Jiang Rou looked at Zhou Xiaochuan. After taking a bath, the young boy looked much more refreshed and looked better.
There were drops of water dripping on the short spiky hair, and it had not been wiped dry at all.
Drops of water flowed down his neck.
"It's getting dark and a cool breeze is about to blow. Why don't you dry your hair?"
Jiang Rou is a worrier by nature, and pays attention to details in everything she does.
She immediately took down the dry towel hanging on the clothesline nearby.
Just this time.
Jiang Rou didn't rush to wipe Zhou Xiaochuan's hair, but stuffed a dry towel into Zhou Chongshan's arms.
"Chongshan, please wipe Xiaochuan's hair quickly. Don't let him catch a cold."
After she finished speaking, she went to wash the vegetables without caring whether Zhou Chongshan agreed or not.
From the very beginning, Jiang Rou felt that there was something wrong with the way the father and son got along.
Although Zhou Chongshan loved his two children in his heart, his love was too silent and too majestic.
Many times, he and Zhou Xiaochuan got along like a commander and a soldier.
Zhou Xiaochuan has the same admiration for Zhou Chongshan as he did for his father, and he also has a genuine liking for him.
After all, at his age, he admires males of the same kind the most.
He almost regarded Zhou Chongshan as a role model and subconsciously imitated Zhou Chongshan's words and deeds.
So this father and son.
A silent and uncommunicative person.
The other one followed suit and said nothing.
How can such a father-son relationship be close?
That is why Zhou Xiaochuan remained silent and endured all the bad things Xu Chunxiang did in secret.
As for the tragic ending of the two children in the original novel...
Even at the last moment of his life, Zhou Xiaochuan never revealed a single word of the truth to Zhou Chongshan.
He just felt deeply regretful and felt that he was not worthy of being Zhou Chongshan's son.
Whenever Jiang Rou thought of this scene, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Although she is not a professional child psychologist, she knows the importance of childhood and a normal family atmosphere to a child's growth.
So she did it on purpose!
This gave Zhou Xiaochuan the opportunity to get close to Zhou Chongshan.
In the yard.
After seeing Jiang Rou's actions, Zhou Xiaochuan's bright eyes naturally turned to Zhou Chongshan.
He is now his father.
Zhou Chongshan stood there, so tall and so big, just like a towering tree.
He was wearing a military uniform with stars on his shoulders.
That is Zhou Xiaochuan's favorite.
He once took advantage of Zhou Chongshan's inattention and secretly touched the epaulette.
The sparkling five-pointed star is particularly beautiful.
The little wolf cub was in a daze, the water on his head dripping into his neck, and his collar was wet.
"Ogawa, come here."
Zhou Chongshan waved towards Zhou Xiaochuan.
Zhou Xiaochuan then took a few steps forward.
As soon as he arrived in front of Zhou Chongshan, a soft towel that had been exposed to the sun fell from the sky and covered his head.
Right after.
It was Zhou Chongshan’s broad palm.
The man opened his palm and could cover Zhou Xiaochuan's head with one hand.
Zhou Chongshan held the towel and gently wiped Zhou Xiaochuan's wet hair.
And whispered.
"After washing your hair, dry it thoroughly."
Through a towel.
Zhou Xiaochuan listened to Zhou Chongshan's voice, which seemed different from usual.
like……
A little softer, a little closer.
It echoed softly beside his ears.
"Um."
Zhou Xiaochuan responded.
He didn't dare say too much, for fear of revealing the sobs rolling in his throat.
Zhou Xiaochuan's eyes were a little hot, and the hair on his head was also hot.
That was the warmth coming from Zhou Chongshan's palm.
With each movement, the feeling was transmitted to his body.
The little wolf cub was so confused by such a warm and tender feeling.
He clenched his teeth, silently feeling the surging emotions in his heart.
Right at this moment.
Suddenly, there was a cute little face under the towel.
