653: Can I call you Brother Heng?
Zhou Ziheng smiled:
"Call me by my name, or call me brother."
"Then can I call you Brother Heng?"
"Okay," Zhou Ziheng was very satisfied with the name, "Call me that."
"Brother Heng."
"Be good, say it again, say you love me."
Yu Xiaoye was shy: "No."
Zhou Ziheng smiled again, leaned over and bit her ear and said:
"Then we'll talk about it tonight."
Yu Xiaoye blushed, knowing what he meant, and shrank into the quilt.
Zhou Ziheng rubbed her forehead lovingly, covered her with the quilt, and then began to put on his clothes.
After getting dressed and standing beside the bed, I saw that Yu Xiaoye was already drowsy and his eyelids were drooping.
"Have a good rest at home, I'll come over in the evening."
"Um--"
After agreeing, Yu Xiaoye tilted his head, closed his eyes and fell asleep, not even knowing when Zhou Ziheng left.
Yu Xiaoye originally just wanted to take a nap and wake up after half an hour.
After all, it’s my first time visiting, so it’s not good to sleep in. Just like my mother said, I have to pretend to be a good boy these few days.
Besides, yesterday's outrageous behavior has left a very bad impression on the old couple of the Zhou family. They are probably so tolerant of her purely for the sake of their own son. She must not challenge the bottom line of the old couple again.
Get up early and act more diligently.
As a result, the opposite happened. I closed my eyes, opened them again, and woke up again at around eleven o'clock.
------
Downstairs, old man Zhou Jingru got up at dawn.
After getting up, I walked out of the room with a cane, planning to go to the square to exercise.
This is a habit he has maintained for decades, and he must do training early every morning.
Although I am old now and my legs are not as flexible as before and I can’t run or jump, but by watching other soldiers doing drills and feeling the youthful and passionate atmosphere, I can still find the feeling I had back then.
Leaning on his cane, he walked towards the door and looked towards his son's room. Suddenly, he remembered that his son was also at home, so he walked over and poked the door with his cane:
"Get up and go exercise. In the Great Northern Wilderness, no one reminds me, so I definitely won't remember to exercise. Hurry up and run five kilometers."
“——” No movement.
Zhou Jingru knocked on the door again with his cane, his voice even more impatient:
"Stop pretending, I know you heard it, get up!"
Zhuang Huaijian heard the old man arguing early in the morning and hurried over to persuade him:
"Hey, it's rare for the kid to come home, and he has to get up for work later. Let him have a good sleep. It's only five o'clock!"
"What's wrong with five o'clock? Back then, when the army was at war, it was common for them to go without sleep for days and nights. Now he can sleep until five o'clock, so he should be content. In peacetime, we can't let our guard down. What if the war breaks out again one day? Get up!"
Zhou Jingru poked at the door again.
But no matter how much I knocked on the door, there was no movement from inside.
Very abnormal.
Zhou Jingru began to feel something was wrong, so he took a step forward and pushed the door open.
Upon looking, the quilt on the bed was neatly folded and the room was deserted. Where was there?
The old couple were both shocked. What was there not to understand?
This kid didn't stay downstairs last night and went upstairs to fool around!
Zhuang Huaijian was surprised, but also felt happy for the young couple.
But Zhou Jingru's blood pressure rose, and he cursed angrily:
"This bastard is so obsessed that he actually committed such a low-level behavior and fooled around with someone before getting married—"
"Shh, don't shout!"
Zhuang Huaijian was afraid of waking up the people upstairs. It wouldn't be a big deal if he woke up his son, but if he woke up the girl, she would definitely feel embarrassed because she was shy.
Zhuang Huaijian quickly covered Zhou Jingru's mouth.
At this time, Aunt Zhang also got up and prepared to cook. Seeing the old couple arguing here, she also walked over.
Zhuang Huaijian hurriedly called Aunt Zhang for help:
"Aunt Zhang, come here, help me help Lao Zhou go out for exercise, come quickly!"
Aunt Zhang didn't understand what was going on and ran over in a panic. The two of them carried Zhou Jingru, one on each side, and went out for exercise.
After the three old people left, the house became quiet.
After a while, the door of the upstairs room opened and Zhou Ziheng put on his clothes and went downstairs.
After going downstairs, I found that there was no one downstairs. I was still wondering, but when I saw that the door of my room was open, I vaguely guessed what had happened.
Zhou Ziheng smiled and went to the bathroom to wash up calmly.
After washing up, there was still no one at home, so I went to the kitchen to cook some noodles.
While I was cooking noodles, Aunt Zhang came back.
Zhuang Huaijian took Grandpa Zhou to a square far away from home and let the old man watch a group of new recruits doing training. Grandpa Zhou was immediately attracted by the shouts of the drill and temporarily forgot about his son fooling around with others.
Zhuang Huaijian signaled Aunt Zhang to come back and prepare breakfast for her son.
When Aunt Zhang returned home, Zhou Ziheng had almost cooked a large bowl of noodles with soy sauce and eggs.
After serving the noodles, Zhou Ziheng instructed:
"Aunt Zhang, don't go upstairs and wake Xiaoye up. Let her sleep."
Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes and agreed:
"Oh, okay."
"By the way, tell my parents not to bother them."
"--oh."
"Also, tell my mom to buy some pork belly and stew some braised pork. Xiaoye likes braised pork. Do you have white rice at home? If you do, make some rice."
"——" Aunt Zhang was so shocked that she forgot to agree.
"Oh, and, Xiao Ye likes sweets, so take out some snacks and candies from home. If you don't have any, tell my mom to buy some."
Aunt Zhang: “——” Oh my goodness, this is not just bringing back a girlfriend, this is inviting an ancestor!
I really wonder if Hengzi is possessed by evil spirits?
week
After Ziheng gave his instructions, he took the noodles to the dining table outside and started eating.
I had exerted too much energy last night and was really hungry at this time. In addition, I was in a good mood and had a good appetite, so I ate a big bowl of noodles without leaving any soup.
After eating and drinking a glass of water, he suddenly heard a car horn outside. He knew that it was the car his sister had helped find to pick him up.
He went back into the house and changed into a Mao suit, took his briefcase, put on his watch, and went to the bathroom to look in the mirror to make sure he was neat before going out.
Before I reached the door, I met the old couple coming back.
“——”
Both sides were slightly stunned and there was silence for a second.
Zhou Jingru reacted first and suddenly raised his cane to hit Zhou Ziheng:
"You bastard, how dare you behave in such a wrong way? Are you married? If you're not married, why are you living with someone so casually? Do you still have any respect for military discipline and laws—"
"Dad, Mom, I'm in a hurry, I'm leaving first——"
"Come back!"
"I'll be back in the evening!"
Zhou Ziheng bypassed Zhou Jingru and slipped out of the house like a fish.
Zhuang Huaijian saw that Yu Xiaoye didn't follow him, so he chased after him and asked:
"Where's Ono?"
Zhou Ziheng ran outside, got into the jeep parked at the door, rolled down the window and said to his mother:
"Xiao Ye is still upstairs, Mom. I'm leaving her in your hands. Please take good care of her and don't let what happened yesterday happen again."
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."
Zhou Ziheng believed in his mother—and also in his grandfather.
No matter how foolish the old man was, he would never tolerate bullying of anyone who entered his house. Zhou Ziheng firmly believed in this.
In addition, the old couple already knew that he and Ono had shared a room, so they would treat Ono as one of their own family members.
So Zhou Ziheng was not very worried about Ono's safety at home.
The jeep took Zhou Ziheng out.
As the car started, I felt a cool breeze on my face. The scenery in the courtyard was particularly vivid and lovely, and even the slogans of the soldiers marching in the distance were particularly pleasant to the ears.
It's strange that the compound where I have lived for more than 20 years has suddenly become different.
Although I hadn't slept all night, I didn't feel tired at all. It was as if some kind of pressure that had been lurking for thirty years was released overnight. I felt light all over, with an indescribable feeling, and a certain look naturally appeared on my face.
The soft and delicate touch of the little girl is still left in the palm of my hand.
Thinking of the madness of last night, Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but smile.
The jeep arrived at the gate of the compound.
The sentry opened the big iron gate for them in advance. As soon as they walked out of the iron gate, they suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of their eyes.
