Chapter 618: The Elderly Are Soft-hearted
"Let's eat! Sihui, I put money in these dumplings today. Eating them is a good omen, and good fortune will come."
Aunt Su was busy serving dishes and dumplings to the table. The steaming dumplings were emitting white hot air and looked plump and adorable.
"Really? Then I have to eat more."
Lu Sihui likes the atmosphere at home very much. Everyone is smiling and reunion is something to be happy about.
"Sihui, how about having a drink with grandpa?"
Old Master Zhou picked up the Moutai and looked at Lu Sihui with a smile. He only dared to drink it during the Chinese New Year. He didn't dare to drink it when he was taking medicine.
"Grandpa, don't drink anymore. Didn't Doctor Tang tell you not to drink?"
Zhou Zixu wanted to snatch the bottle of wine from his grandfather's hand, but the old hero had also been on the battlefield and his reaction speed was very fast!
With a lift and a turn of the arm, the wine poured from the left hand to the right hand.
"You're not allowed to drink during the New Year? Get lost."
Pretending to be angry and scolding his grandson, Zhou Zixu looked at the old kid grandfather helplessly.
"Then let's have a drink, okay?"
He consulted with his grandfather, and found out that the old man would only respond to soft words and not hard ones.
"good."
Sure enough, after some good talk and Zhou Zixu's helpless smile, the old man readily agreed.
"Sihui, would you like to drink with grandpa?"
After taking care of his grandson, Grandpa Zhou looked at Lu Sihui with a smile.
"I'll accompany you no matter how much you drink."
Lu Sihui's generosity made the old man laugh happily. He took two glasses and planned to pour wine for Sihui himself.
"Grandpa, I'm coming."
Lu Sihui quickly stood up. How could she let her respected grandfather pour wine for her?
"Grandpa, is there nothing left for me?"
Zhou Zixu looked at the wine glasses on the table. His grandfather only took two, one for him and one for Sihui. No one thought about him and they were pouring wine for each other as if he was invisible. He stood up suddenly and raised his hand in protest.
"Be quiet, you snore even when you're not drinking! How can I fall asleep after drinking?"
Grandpa Zhou glared at his grandson, not paying any attention to his protest.
He watched Lu Sihui fill his glass with wine with a smile. It felt like he had picked up a granddaughter. He was so happy.
"Grandpa, it's you who's snoring, okay? Besides, we don't sleep in the same room."
Zhou Zixu continued to protest, but he didn't want to be forced to sleep with his grandfather every time. He also wanted to go find Sihui at night!
It’s a beautiful night, so of course we should do something beautiful. Who would still sleep on New Year’s Eve?
"Who said we're not in the same room? You're still sleeping with me tonight."
Old Master Zhou rolled his eyes at Zixu and said, “It’s good enough that he was allowed to stay. Why is there so much trouble?”
"Am I your grandson?"
Zhou Zixu looked at his grandfather with resentment. He always felt that his grandfather wanted to drive him away as soon as Sihui came back.
“I found it.”
The old man took a sip of wine happily and deliberately annoyed Zixu. Who made him always ask this?
"Grandpa, was I picked up?"
Dongsheng suddenly raised his head and stared at Taiye with his big dark eyes.
"Of course you are not, the eldest son and grandson of the Zhou family."
Old Master Zhou was shocked. Why did he make such a joke? Dongsheng is very sensitive now. Maybe he was overthinking it?
"Then why doesn't my mother come to see me and my father doesn't like me."
Dongsheng lowered his head sadly. He longed for his mother's love, especially on this Spring Festival night, he hoped that his parents could be with him.
"Uh, Dongsheng, Dad is busy in the army, and Mom... is far away, so she can't come back to be with you."
Zhou Zixu really didn't want Dongsheng to bring up this topic. Every time he saw the child's sad eyes as if he was abandoned, he felt very uncomfortable. He had scolded his elder brother countless times.
"Uncle, can I call Aunt Sihui mom?"
