Behind the gate, a plainly dressed woman with some silver hair appeared. She was obviously older.
"Xiaoyuan."
When the woman saw the middle-aged man, she had a kind smile on her face.
"Aunt Xu."
The middle-aged man also smiled and greeted Aunt Xu warmly. After saying this, he did not forget to introduce to Zhou Xing: "This is Aunt Xu. She has stayed in the Zhou family for a long time and usually takes care of them."
, doing cooking, cleaning and so on.”
"Aunt Xu's cooking skills are really good. I often didn't eat at home when I was a child, so I came here specially just to have a meal."
Aunt Xu smiled with a smile on her face and said happily: "It's not as exaggerated as you said. It's just some authentic side dishes, which is more to your liking."
Zhou Xing nodded and said hello to Aunt Xu seriously: "Hello, Aunt Xu."
Only then did Aunt Xu notice Zhou Xing standing aside.
He looked at it carefully for a moment.
The first impression is that this young man is very handsome.
Look carefully again.
The look between his eyebrows...is somewhat familiar.
It was impossible for her to admit that familiar meaning.
"You are...Zhou Xing!"
Aunt Xu asked.
"Yes, Aunt Xu, I am Zhou Xing."
Zhou Xing smiled slightly.
"It's really you..."
Aunt Xu stepped forward again, observed Zhou Xing carefully, and then muttered: "Okay, okay... I didn't expect that not only did Xiao Zhou have a child, but he also grew up so big in the blink of an eye."
As she spoke, Aunt Xu's eyes welled up with tears.
She wiped away her tears and said, "Xiao Zhou is really cruel. He has been gone for so many years and has never come back to see his father, mother, or even his children."
"What kind of conflict can there be between father and son? Even after so many years, they can't get over it."
Zhou Xing was not surprised when he saw Aunt Xu acting like this.
Judging from her age.
He should be a little younger than his grandfather, but not too much. He must have come to the Zhou family when he was young.
She has taken care of the Zhou family for almost her whole life, two generations... Presumably the Xiao Zhou she talks about is her father, who was also raised by her.
It can be said that she is also a part of the family.
It is normal to have such emotions.
"Aunt Xu, I also know that I haven't seen you for so many years, so I came to Kyoto specifically to see my grandparents."
Zhou Xing said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, good boy, it's rare for you to have such filial piety."
Aunt Xu kept looking at Zhou Xing and then said.
"Aunt Xu, where is my Uncle Zhou?"
The middle-aged man suddenly spoke.
Aunt Xu patted her head and pulled Zhou Xing to go inside: "I almost forgot, good boy, I need to meet your grandparents first. In the afternoon, he kicked me out of the kitchen and said he wanted to
Cook it yourself.”
"I'm still wondering why I suddenly became interested after I haven't been in the kitchen for many years. Is it possible that I have to entertain some important guests?"
"I didn't expect you to be here. I guess he misses you a lot. If we have anything to say, go ahead and talk about it. He's too old to remember things."
As Aunt Xu spoke, she led Zhou Xing and the middle-aged man into the door, and then closed the door.
getting Started.
It can be seen that exquisite and meaningful auspicious cloud patterns are carved, tiled fish pots are placed under the back wall, and ornamental lotuses, koi carp in the water, and sun-reflecting lotus are planted.
After passing the shadow wall, there is the courtyard.
There are still two jujube trees planted in the yard...but the branches and leaves on them have withered.
This yard is not very big, it is just a second-entry yard.
From the outside, it looks no different from an ordinary courtyard house. The only difference is that the environment is quiet and elegant.
Inside one side of the house.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, clang.
Waves of green smoke drifted out, accompanied by the aroma of some food.
Zhou Xinggang wanted to go over.
After hearing the commotion from the house directly in front, a silver-haired woman came out. She was about sixty years old. Although her face had many wrinkles, her complexion was quite rosy.
The back is straight, the steps are steady and powerful, and the body is full of energy.
The facial features are soft... Although there are traces of age erosion, the beauty is in the bones and not in the skin. It can be vaguely seen from the facial features that this elderly woman had extremely outstanding looks when she was young.
"Aunt Zhang."
The middle-aged man saw the woman and immediately said hello.
The woman was about to respond when she saw Zhou Xing standing there.
The body suddenly froze.
"Good grandson."
The woman walked towards Zhou Xingxing, with tears glistening in her eyes.
She came to Zhou Xing.
He grabbed Zhou Xing's arm and looked Zhou Xing up and down, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "My dear grandson, do you know who I am?"
This sentence immediately made the middle-aged man and Aunt Xu standing aside speechless.
People came to visit me on their own initiative.
You are a good grandson, and I am not a fool. How come I don’t know who you are?
But after all, they have not seen each other since Zhou Xing was born. There are eighteen years between them, and blood is thicker than water... The older generation is related to each other across generations.
It is normal for me to be so excited and incoherent when I suddenly see Zhou Xing.
"grandmother."
Zhou Xing looked at the woman in front of him, with a pure and sunny smile on his face, and shouted with a smile.
"Eh!"
When Grandma Zhou Xing heard this address, she was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on her face, and finally she responded solemnly.
"Let grandma see if my precious grandson is used to living in Jiangcheng."
Grandma Zhou Xing's trembling hands moved towards Zhou Xing's face.
Zhou Xing also cooperated by bending his body so that the woman could touch her.
The slightly wrinkled palms looked a bit rough.
Grandma Zhou Xing touched the bridge of Zhou Xing's nose and eyes: "The eyebrows... look exactly like those of the Zhou family, but they are much more handsome than your grandfather and father, and they are quite good-looking."
"You're just a little too thin. Are you not eating well?"
Grandma Zhou Xing's hands kept measuring Zhou Xing's arms and waist...as if she wanted to measure his size: "This is too thin. If you don't live in Kyoto for a while, I will ask your grandpa to make more for you."
It’s delicious, let’s replenish it?”
"Actually, I'm not thin at all, I'm just strong."
Zhou Xing grinned, then rolled up his sleeves, showing off his strong muscles for his grandma.
The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed.
No wonder... Lin Xuewen could be beaten so hard that he couldn't even move on the ground.
"It's such a cold day, what's the point of showing off? Hurry up and put your sleeves down. What if you catch a cold?"
Grandma Zhou Xing did not look at the muscles on Zhou Xing's body, but patted him quickly, trying to put down his sleeves for him, with a little complaint on her face.
After Zhou Xing heard the words, he obediently put down his sleeves and looked at the old lady in front of him, the smile on his face never disappeared.
He originally thought that facing grandpa and grandma whom he had never met before... he might not be comfortable with it, but when he appeared in front of them...
That kind of care that comes from the heart without any intention... is enough to melt anyone.
The imagined barriers do not exist.
Some are just strong family ties.
Grandma Zhou Xing reluctantly pulled Zhou Xing and said a lot of words, as if Zhou Xing would run away like a kite as soon as she let go.
After a while.
Then she pulled Zhou Xing and walked toward the house on one side, shouting as she walked: "Old man, look who's coming!"
