His daughter's temperament was such that she wouldn't even listen to his words.
However, it is precisely this that makes it most difficult for the father.
He couldn't do it himself, so he hoped for the Zhou family.
Liao Kongwu's current situation is like eating a fly, neither spitting it out nor swallowing it.
Those who are neither up nor down are extremely uncomfortable.
Liao Kongwu waved his hands helplessly and said in a low voice, "Forget it, you go back first, I will think about it myself."
Should I marry my daughter to the Zhou family?
In fact, there is no need to think about it!
Liao Kongwu came to Zhou Zhiyuan to talk alone, which already meant that he had made a decision.
Rather than marrying off her daughter to the countryside and letting the man's family eat from her daughter's dowry, it would be better to marry Zhou Wenyan.
Aren’t Zhou Wenyan and Yao Huiru concerned about the power in his hands?
When the time comes, he will directly cut off the relationship with Shengnan, and the other party will no longer care about the power in his hands.
As long as he doesn't die, the other party won't dare to treat Shengnan badly.
What's more, if you step back ten thousand steps, there is still Zhou Zhiyuan who is holding the whole story.
His heart is upright, and as long as he grasps the general direction, Zhou Wenyan will not be able to make big waves.
In this way, his daughter's life is not impossible.
When she is heartbroken by Zhou Wenyan, she may be able to understand her parents' painstaking efforts!
Why!
It’s a pity for all the parents in the world.
After Zhou Zhiyuan said goodbye to Liao Kongwu, he strode to the backyard.
The layout of the courtyard is that of a quadrangle, which is divided into front, back, middle and three courtyards. Since the Liao family moved in from behind, they live in the front yard.
The Zhou family lived here decades ago, so they were divided in the backyard.
Zhou Zhiyuan greeted many neighbors who were setting off firecrackers along the way, and strode back to Zhou's house.
Then I saw that outside the Zhou family yard, it was extremely lively.
Liao Shengnan held firecrackers in his hand and was setting off fireworks with Zhou Wenyan. Zhou Wenyan held his hand on the back of Liao Shengnan's hand.
The two cuddled together, and Liao Shengnan smiled extremely happily.
Inexplicably, Zhou Zhiyuan thought of Liao Kongwu's lonely appearance setting off firecrackers in front of Liao's house.
However, even so, Liao Kongwu was still thinking very hard about his daughter Liao Shengnan.
She even put down her old face and begged him to take more care of her.
I recalled Liao Kongwu's rickety figure, looking at Liao Shengnan joking.
Girls are outgoing.
Zhou Zhiyuan thought that if his future daughter dared to do this, he would have to break her legs.
He appeared quietly, like he suddenly appeared at the door of Zhou's house.
Liao Shengnan hadn't noticed it yet, but Zhou Wenyan was the first to notice it.
When he saw the tall figure standing in the dark, his whole body suddenly froze, and he subconsciously let go of Liao Shengnan's hand, "Uncle."
The voice was extremely low and a bit embarrassed.
Zhou Zhiyuan hummed and walked out of the darkness. He was tall and tall, with no emotion on his straight face.
"Set off firecrackers?"
He rarely takes the initiative to ask questions.
Zhou Wenyan was a little surprised, "Yes, grandpa can't stand it any longer, so let's set off the firecrackers first."
Liao Shengnan, who was next to him, followed suit and called out, "Uncle."
She has a very cheerful temperament, but when it comes to Zhou Zhiyuan, she acts like a mosquito.
The voice must be kept low.
Zhou Zhiyuan stared at her for a moment.
Liao Shengnan didn't know where she went wrong. She subconsciously stood up in a military posture, her hands were a little nervous and she kept wringing her fingers.
"Uncle, I am, what's wrong?"
she asked cautiously.
Zhou Zhiyuan shook his head, "Your dad," he said, then swallowed it back, "Forget it, it's okay, you can set off firecrackers!"
He originally wanted to say that your father was still begging for help for your sake.
But then I thought about it, Liao Kongwu had been arrogant for half his life, but he still didn't say this.
No matter how much Liao Kongwu did, he still didn't want his daughter to know.
Zhou Zhiyuan waved his hands, sighed and left.
I don't know if he has been away from the army for too long. He used to be cold and cold, but he actually felt that Liao Shengnan's father was very miserable.
The child is too worried.
After he left.
Liao Shengnan stood there, unable to let go of the fireworks in his hands.
She looked at the other person's leaving figure and whispered, "Tell me, what happened to my dad?"
She asked Zhou Wenyan.
Mentioning Liao Shengnan's father, a trace of anger flashed across Zhou Wenyan's usually gentle face.
During this period of time, he knelt down even when he was on his knees.
However, Liao Shengnan's father still looked down upon him.
Look down upon in every possible way.
As a man, he can understand that the other party's contempt for him is from the bottom of his heart, and he looks down on him.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the devoted Liao Shengnan, and couldn't help but feel a little proud, "Shengnan, it's my fault that I failed to meet your father's requirements, so I put you in such a difficult situation."
He blamed himself.
As soon as he saw Zhou Wenyan blaming himself, Liao Shengnan softened his heart, and his original guilt for his father instantly turned into anger.
"Wen Yan, it's not your fault, it's my dad's fault. In his eyes, I'm afraid it didn't catch his eye."
No, Zhou Zhiyuan was praised many times by her father, but she was afraid of Zhou Zhiyuan.
Besides, isn't Wenyan good enough?
He has a good family background, good looks, and he is a college student.
Speaking of which, the Zhou family and his family knew everything about her. If she married into the Zhou family, it would be convenient for her to return to her natal family. How great!
Why is her dad so stubborn and doesn’t agree?
"Katsuo, you are so kind to me."
Zhou Wenyan said affectionately, "I will never let you down."
Liao Shengnan smiled sweetly.
The worried father was instantly forgotten.
Zhou family.
As soon as Zhou Zhiyuan entered, the lights in the originally dark living room instantly turned on.
The sudden bright light was a little dazzling to his eyes, so he subconsciously raised his hand to block it for a moment, and then he saw Mr. Zhou sitting in the middle of the sofa.
"You finally know how to go home!"
Zhou Zhiyuan paused for a moment, then walked over and said, "Dad, you're not asleep yet!"
Next to him, Uncle Lu helped Mr. Zhou stand up and whispered, "I have been waiting for you all day."
From the time he went out in the morning, to now Zhou Zhiyuan comes home.
When Zhou Zhiyuan heard this, he whispered, "I'm sorry."
I am really too busy to leave.
When Aunt Zhou heard the noise, she yawned and stood up, "Zhiyuan, you are back. Let me heat up the chicken soup in my pot for you."
As soon as he heard this, Mr. Zhou became angry, "If you don't give him heat, he will starve!"
Zhou Zhiyuan was helpless, "Dad, I haven't eaten a single bite since I went out in the morning."
After saying this, Mr. Zhou finally softened his heart. He said bitterly, "I'd rather starve you to death. Is such a big deal worth your time?"
He knew that his son was called away by that brat Ge Weiguo early in the morning.
Moreover, it is still for...
Zhou Zhiyuan was a little tired, so he found a sofa and sat down.
Immediately, he took the chicken soup handed over by Aunt Zhou and started eating just the rice. "There is an important matter. I will tell you about it later."
On New Year's Eve, he didn't want to quarrel.
In addition, he saw Liao Kongwu who was also a father, and he suddenly felt that being a father was really not easy.
I saw that his tone was gentle, not as tough as usual.
Mr. Zhou's expression also softened a bit. Looking at the other party's devouring food, he sighed, "Why are you doing this?"
He ordered to Wu's mother, "Aren't there still pure meat buns? Get him two more."
How can father and son have an overnight feud?
How can a father not care about his son?
Even though Mr. Zhou was angry, he couldn't see Zhou Zhiyuan looking so tired and hungry.
Aunt Zhou couldn't help laughing. She snorted and hurried to the kitchen. Uncle Lu next to her also breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm afraid that the two men will become at war with each other again.
Ten minutes later.
Zhou Zhiyuan was in a turmoil, and Mr. Zhou said angrily, "You go to help others work, and they don't care about the food?"
Zhou Zhiyuan raised his eyelashes, thought for a moment and said, "I'm in charge of the food. Aren't I thinking about my family and just want to go home for a New Year's Eve dinner?"
"How did you know that there was something wrong with Lao Ge again?"
These words made Mr. Zhou's expression soften a bit, "As for that brat Wei Guo, is it worth your time to do such a big thing?"
Mr. Zhou became angry when he mentioned it.
"You are wrong. I have to go help today. I really encountered a big problem."
Zhou Zhiyuan stood up and said, "I have something serious to discuss with you. Let's go to the study to talk."
You have to go to the study to talk about this alone. You can imagine how important it is.
Mr. Zhou was suspicious, but he didn't refuse after all. After the two of them arrived in the study.
Zhou Zhiyuan got straight to the point, "Are there any quotas for the youth group in the army?"
He couldn't handle this matter alone. He also needed Mr. Zhou to find his old comrades and ask for a spot.
"What? We don't have anything suitable at home, why are you asking?"
If Zhiyuan were more than ten years younger, he would fight for anything and win.
Not only can they contribute to the organization, but their self-sufficient family can also thrive for decades.
It's a pity that Zhou Zhiyuan is too old and Zhou Wenyan is not the material.
Zhou Zhiyuan thought for a while and briefly told what happened when he met Xu Wu.
Mr. Zhou was overjoyed and said, "Are you sure that this child will definitely be chosen?"
Zhou Zhiyuan hummed, "Give him a chance and he will soar into the sky."
Mr. Zhou's happiness this time was beyond words, "Then, who is this kid's family? Can he pull him--"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Zhiyuan.
"Dad, we are selecting talents for the organization, not for the family, not for individuals. You must be clear."
Zhou Zhiyuan frowned, "Moreover, even if you want Xu Wu to go to the youth group, you can't let others know that it is from my Zhou family. Just treat him as if he has nothing to do with my Zhou family. How far he can go depends entirely on his own destiny.
"
"Zhiyuan——" Mr. Zhou was a little angry, "Do you know what this means?"
With Xu Wu, if he is labeled with the Zhou family, it means that the third generation of the Zhou family has also appeared.
This is what Mr. Zhou has always been most worried about. Their family has Zhiyuan, and the banquet is not useful. It means that it is said to be broken after Zhiyuan.
Zhou Zhiyuan nodded, "I know."
He raised his head and looked over, his eyes extremely sharp and a bit disappointed, "Dad, you were not like this before."
These words shocked Mr. Zhou, and he took several steps back.
before--
What was he like before?
He keeps his head in his waistband and concentrates on conquering the world. He will not do anything that takes advantage of the organization in the slightest.
He will never do anything that uses his connections to benefit himself.
But, when did it change?
Have you been comfortable for too long?
Is it because you are watching the family of your old comrades-in-arms decline little by little?
Does he sense a crisis?
still--
Mr. Zhou didn't dare to think anymore. He sat down on the rocking chair and wiped his face fiercely, "Zhiyuan, you did the right thing."
If this time it encourages his heart, then in the future this heart will be corroded bit by bit like an abyss and ravine.
Old man Zhou Zhiyuan understood. He offered him a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Dad, please help us fight for this spot in the youth group. We don't need to use the Zhou family's name to give him a chance to compete fairly."
This is very difficult. It is like Xu Wu who became a monk halfway.
You have to compete with those kids who grew up in the military and received formal training.
"Do you trust him so much?"
Zhou Zhiyuan nodded, "This kid is a good prospect."
This made Mr. Zhou more and more curious, but he was more thankful.
He took a sip of tea and said, "From now on, this family will still be left to you."
He is old and his mind has deteriorated.
There are always times when mistakes are made, but luckily their family Zhiyuan is here.
Being able to grasp the general direction, Mr. Zhou understands better than anyone else that if the Zhou family wants to continue for a long time, there must be someone like Zhiyuan at the helm.
Sober and fair.
Only this kind of person can go on for a long time.
Rather than being dazzled, making mistakes along the way, and being squeezed out.
Zhou Zhiyuan had always been prepared for the matter that would stir up trouble in his family, so he was not surprised.
However, he thought of Liao Kongwu's lonely figure when he stopped him on the way back. He put down his tea cup and asked, "Dad, what's going on with Wen Yan and Sheng Nan?"
this--
Mr. Zhou was startled for a moment, "It's just that, young love and love."
Zhou Zhiyuan frowned, "I just talked with Shengnan's father on the way back."
"What did the other party say?"
Mr. Zhou also has a headache. This is not about beating mandarin ducks, nor is this consent.
Zhou Zhiyuan thought for a while and conveyed what Liao Kongwu said.
In the end, he concluded, "Dad, you should know that Wen Yan will not be a good husband."
"He married Liao Shengnan, but the girl from our family is shorter than him."
Although this may not sound good, it is a fact.
Mr. Zhou also has to admit it. He used to think that his grandson was excellent, but now that he is looking at things one by one, it is nothing more than that.
After all, she is a loving mother but a loser.
"Zhiyuan, is Wen Yan your nephew?"
Zhou Zhiyuan shook his head. He opened the window and looked downstairs under the moonlight. The man and woman who were still setting off fireworks were so intimate.
He said solemnly, "If the Liao family agrees, let Wen Yan marry Sheng Nan as soon as possible!"
