Chapter 43

When Zhou Yutang arrived in Yancheng, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

The sunset is just right.

Zhou Zhengping waited on the side of the road with his hands folded on his shoulders, when he saw his son beckoning.

When Zhou Yutang got into the car, he glanced at the old Jetta, and shook his head: "Dad, how about I replace you with an Audi next year? Anyway, I'm also a school leader, so I just drive a Jetta, and there is no need to show any respect at all."

"It's good if you have this kind of heart. What's wrong with driving a Jetta? Isn't the car just used for transportation?"

Zhou Zhengping likes fishing, but he has no pursuit of cars. Even if he rides an electric car to work, he doesn't care. He bought this car because the family needs a car for transportation.

"If you make some money, don't spend it recklessly. Save it for yourself. There are many places to use the money in the future..."

Seeing that his father showed signs of starting the education mode, Zhou Yutang quickly stopped talking and changed the subject, "Dad, didn't you like that set of fishing tackle last time, did you take it off?"

"..."

Zhou Zhengping sighed, shook his head and remained silent.

Oh, it seems that Comrade Zhou's small treasury was raided by the Queen Mother, and the losses were quite heavy.

Zhou Yutang made up his mind to find a chance to buy that fishing suit as a gift for his father.

It is rare for Zhou Zhengping to have a hobby, and he has learned a lot of theories for it. Zhou Yutang also went fishing with his father several times when he was young.

Along the way, he heard Zhou Zhengping talk about fishing technical terms such as bait making, nest making, air pressure, water temperature, etc., and what he said was so logical that the young Zhou Yutang almost believed that his father was a master of hidden fishing.

Later, I found out that every time I went fishing with him, I didn’t get much. Some times I even returned to the air force. In the end, I had to go to the vegetable market to buy fish to take home. Zhou Yutang completely lost interest.

Zhou Zhengping still enjoyed it.

Teachers are very good at summarizing, and Zhou Zhengping is no exception.

He summed up several major failure experiences for his lack of catch:

1. Fishing tackle is not acceptable

2. The air pressure is wrong

3. The fishing spot is not good

……

Well, Zhou Yutang thinks it's good that Dad is happy.

Chatting all the way, they will soon be home, Zhou Yutang got off the car and went to the vegetable market not far from home to shop around.

As the end of the year approaches, the streets and alleys are filled with lights and festoons, which are very lively.

Everyone had smiles on their faces, and the entrances of shops on the roadside were filled with all kinds of New Year's goods, and there were children running around with firecrackers.

At this time, Zhou Yutang was already quite famous, but not to the point where everyone knew about it, not to mention that the people in this area were mainly grandpas and aunts.

He just put on a mask casually and no one recognized him.

The dim street lights have started to work.

The chestnut shop at the entrance of the vegetable market is still open as usual, cracked chestnuts are being stir-fried in the boiler, and the warm aroma is unique to the romance of this winter.

On the other side is a fruit shop. The radio is playing in the shop, and fresh and juicy pineapples and special dragon fruits are piled up at the door.

Zhou Yutang took a deep breath, his lungs filled with smoke and fire.

His goal was the roasted sweet potato shop in the trolley at the street corner. This old man had set up a stall here for more than ten years. The roasted sweet potato in the iron stove was also Zhou Yutang's favorite winter snack when he was a child.

I bought a roasted sweet potato, squatted down and chatted with the old man, the old man still recognized Zhou Yutang, and picked out a big sweet potato with a smile.

When it was broken apart, the fragrance overflowed, and Zhou Yutang strolled home while eating.

When returning from a foreign country, the happiest thing is to be able to see the lights at home are on as soon as you look up.

When Zhou Yutang opened the door, he saw that his mother had just come back from outside.

"Xiaotang, you're back, wait a minute."

"Mom, what's wrong?"

After stopping in his tracks, he saw a stack of Li Ziwei's photos that the old mother took out from her plain bag and sent them to him, at least dozens of them.

Zhou Yutang suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "Mom, what are you going to do? Wholesale?"

Wang Fengqin pushed the photo in front of Zhou Yutang, "Your aunt and her daughter Mengmeng, she is your fan, please help me to sign it first."

"As for?"

The corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth twitched slightly: "It's all from my family, so you don't need to sign. Mengmeng wants to see me, so come over to our house anytime."

My aunt's daughter is called Lin Mengmeng, a junior high school student.

"If you are asked to sign, just sign. There are so many words."

Wang Fengqin raised her eyebrows, stared and said: "Let me tell you, Mengmeng likes you very much, and I heard that the female students in her class are also very supportive of you, so I promised Mengmeng to give you more autographs." Photo, she took it back to her classmates, hurry up, don't dawdle."

"Mom, I really don't want to sign. I just held a new book conference in the capital, and I almost lost my hand signing autographs."

Zhou Yutang muttered, his eyes looking for food on the table: "I just got home, I'm so hungry, and you asked me to sign it, aren't you afraid you'll tire me out?"

"Why are you hungry? Your dad said that you just went to buy roasted sweet potatoes. Let me tell you, don't start drifting as soon as you make some achievements. If someone supports you, you should have a better attitude, let alone this is your cousin."

Wang Fengqin raised her voice a few degrees, and began to speak earnestly and earnestly. Seeing Zhou Yutang's left ear coming in and his right ear coming out, she had a tendency to get angry:

"Either sign it, or don't eat at night, I'm tired and don't want to cook."

"Okay, mom, where to sign?"

Zhou Yutang said that he would not sign, but sat down at the table honestly, took off the cap of the pen and prepared to draw.

"Just sign the back, and write to wish Mengmeng students progress in their studies!"

Wang Fengqin nodded in satisfaction, put on her apron and walked into the kitchen to start preparing meals.

In other words, she said that knowing that Zhou Yutang was going home, she had already bought the food, how could she not cook.

Today's dinner is braised lion's head, casserole of old duck, roast goose from the time-honored braised meat shop in the vegetable market, and braised puffer fish with stir-fried vegetables.

Just a simple home cooked dinner.

Zhou Yutang loves fresh food, and his favorite is the braised puffer fish.

The puffer fish itself is poisonous, so it has to be specially processed before cooking. The processed puffer fish is then braised in braised puffer fish with Ms. Wang's exclusive technique. The meat is fat and tender, and the taste is extremely sweet.

The taste is simply amazing.

After the flamboyant signing, Zhou Yutang flicked his wrist, and said casually, "Have you mailed the seafood gift bag I gave to the teacher?"

"I told your aunt earlier that I picked the best one and sent it. I will handle the matter. Don't worry, it will probably be received within a day or two."

"It has to be my mother."

Zhou Yutang sent a rainbow fart, and took the mobile phone to reply to the message. Senior sister Yang Mi just sent another message to make an appointment to play a game.

Sister Yang Mi actually really likes playing games. She doesn’t have much time to play games when she catches up with announcements, and whenever she has a holiday, she will let herself go.

While chatting, Teacher Yao called, saying that he had received a seafood gift package, and that he blamed Zhou Yutang for spending money indiscriminately.

"Ms. Yao, my relatives sell seafood. These are just caught in the sea and sent to you, that is, let you try something new."

What Zhou Yutang said was sincere.

He was able to take the first step successfully, and Teacher Yao really helped him a lot.

My aunt's family is in the seafood business, so he asked his mother to call in advance to send some seafood to Mr. Yao for a taste.

Father Zhou, who was reading the newspaper, nodded in satisfaction.

"He's pretty good at being a man."

My mother came out of the kitchen with a casserole, and she felt a little relieved when she heard Zhou Yutang talking to the teacher.

My son has grown up, and he knows that he has a good relationship with the teacher.

The TV series I acted in has also been aired, and I heard that it is very popular now.

However, this emotion quickly dissipated. The Queen Mother saw Zhou Yutang lying lazily on the sofa after hanging up the phone, and said angrily:

"Whether you are seated or not, have you signed it yet?"

"The signing is over, Mom, you told me, can you not sign it?"

Zhou Yutang supported his chin with his hands, as if he remembered something, he asked, "Mengmeng is already in the third year of junior high this year."

"Second year of junior high school."

"Oh, it's the second year of junior high school, so study hard."

Zhou Yutang casually grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table and ate them: "I'll prepare a gift for her tomorrow."

"Then you are quite caring. In a few days, go to grandma's house to pay New Year's greetings and bring it to Mengmeng."

The Queen Mother went into the kitchen again and started cooking, chatting with Zhou Yutang casually.

"Must, I'm the best cousin in the world."

The next day, Zhou Yutang went to the bookstore in the district to buy a thicker version of Huanggang's famous teacher's package for the second and third grades of junior high school, plus the previous senior high school exam papers, as a New Year's gift for classmate Lin Mengmeng...

Suzhou education is so complicated, a girl at this age should study hard and not focus on chasing stars
The atmosphere of the New Year is quite lively, with the sound of fireworks and firecrackers everywhere, and I was woken up by firecrackers at five o'clock in the morning.

Ms. Wang and Zhou Zhengping were in charge of the family affairs, but Zhou Yutang had nothing to do with it.

Zhou Yutang just settled down, thinking about his movie script and storyboard.

He is still the boy who wants to improve, and his original intention has not changed.

Big Year.

According to the local customs, it is an annual family reunion to visit relatives at the elder's house.

Zhou Yutang's grandparents left early, and his father had two older sisters who married to other provinces and would not come back for the New Year.

On the contrary, the relatives on my grandma's side are closer.

Grandma has three daughters and one son. The eldest daughter is Lin Mengmeng's mother, who is in the aquatic business.

Ms. Wang Fengqin came in second, her third daughter was a doctor, and her uncle was a small contractor, and they all lived well.

Since childhood, my mother was busy with business and often had to go to buy things, and my father also had a lot of school work. Zhou Yutang was often taken care of by his grandmother.

This New Year's Eve, the family got together as usual.

As soon as I arrived at my grandma's house, Lin Mengmeng, a classmate from my aunt's house, jumped out.

Lin Mengmeng's appearance can't be called a beauty, but she can only be regarded as clever and cute. She wears a pair of glasses, but she is not quiet at all. Pulling Zhou Yutang is like looking at a panda:

"Cousin, why didn't I find you so handsome before?"

"That's why you're blind."

Zhou Yutang ruffled her hair angrily.

"I hate it, don't touch my hair, it's all messed up by you."

Lin Mengmeng pouted angrily, and complained loudly: "Auntie, look at Zhou Yutang, she doesn't look like a big star at all."

"Don't bully your sister."

The Queen Mother helped prepare meals in the kitchen and did not forget to issue a warning.

After seeing Zhou Yutang take out a signed photo, Lin Mengmeng turned into a Ruanmeng good sister again.

Everyone arrived, and the warm family dinner began, and the beautiful singing of Tao Jiji and Jolin came from the TV.

"The warm spring flowers bloom, take away the sadness of winter
romantic breeze

Every love song suddenly full of meaning

I suddenly see you right now"

Grandma's relatives sat at a table full, and Zhou Yutang sat next to the children's table if he wanted to drive without drinking.

The family talked and laughed, very warm and lively.

"Xiaotang, it's not that the song you sang is so good, what's it called?"

Zhou Yutang's grandma is over 60 years old this year, and she is in good spirits. After thinking for a while, she smiled and sang: "Why do I want to see you?"

Zhou Yutang: "."

His expression twitched, his shame bursting out.

Needless to say, grandma knows the title of the song, and has obviously heard it many times.

"Grandma, grandma, I know, I know!"

Lin Mengmeng raised her hand to speak enthusiastically, without realizing Zhou Yutang's man-eating eyes, and said quickly, "The song my brother sang is called "I want to see you, I want to see you, I want to see you". , my classmates all like this song very much, let him sing it!"

"Really, Xiaotang, sing a song for your grandma." The uncle started to cheer.

"Come on, hurry up, we've been looking forward to this day for a long time."

The two aunts got excited together, waving their hands excitedly, and even the little carrot heads from the uncle's house and the little aunt's house were clapping and screaming.

"."

Zhou Yutang's toes had already dug out a villa on the floor.

Thousands of calculations were made, and the chess was missed, forgetting the unique family gathering atmosphere of the Great Heavenly Dynasty.

College students these days are actually a rare species. They usually go home on vacation, and when they meet family gatherings during the Chinese New Year, the elders will have tasks to some extent.

If you are a computer major, you have to help your relatives repair a few computers
In the eyes of fans, Zhou Yutang may be a well-known talent star, but in the eyes of his family, there is no filter at all.

That is an ordinary college student.

While the elders are proud of his achievements, they are also very curious about the talents and skills he learned in school.
"It's all here, let's sing a chant for grandma."

Mom happily ate melon seeds, ignoring Zhou Yutang's eyes asking for help.

"That's right, everyone is a family, what are you sorry for?"

"Hey, let's come to a paragraph. When love is left as a relic, use pictograms to describe it as a memory."

Reluctantly, Zhou Yutang turned on the phone to play the accompaniment, and sang a cappella.

There was thunderous applause.

Grandma probably didn't quite understand what it meant, but she smiled and clapped her hands, very happy.

"Hahahaha!"

Classmate Lin Mengmeng laughed especially loudly, clapping her hands and grinning, revealing those two little canine teeth.

Embarrassed, Zhou Yutang only had one thought in his mind at this time, and that was to quickly escape from this socially dead family gathering.

However, he still didn't forget to take the box out of the Jetta trunk after the meal.

This is a New Year gift from Lin Mengmeng.

Lin Mengmeng was pleasantly surprised: "Brother, you are so kind to me, why don't you give me a box of autographed posters?"

"open to take a look."

"."

Lin Mengmeng opened the box full of surprise, her pupils trembled, her smile froze a little bit, froze on her face, and finally disappeared slowly.

"This is good! Mengmeng, don't you thank your brother?"

My aunt came over to see it and she was very happy: "Xiaotang really has a heart. I heard from the parent of the No. 1 exam in the Mengmeng class that this Huanggang teacher is very good. He even beat the exam questions of the past year."

Well, in fact, she doesn't understand either, but she upholds a very simple concept, that is, it is always right to let children learn...

Zhou Yutang looked at Lin Mengmeng with tears in his big eyes.

Satisfied nodded.

Look, the child was moved to tears!
