Tong Zhengli looked at his granddaughter with a smile. In his memory, she seemed to be just that old.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, she has grown into a big girl and has to think about major events in her life.
Old Zhou's proposal suddenly came to mind. Although he agreed verbally, it still required the two children to get along well.
Besides, things have already happened. Now this is the only way to go.
The Zhou family mainly wanted to give them an explanation.
I remember when they were young, he and Zhou Zhenghong would joke that the children they gave birth to would become in-laws.
As a result, the two grown men worked hard, but they were surprised that there was not even a girl.
This matter has been shelved until now and has been brought up again.
Someone at the dinner table whispered, "Sister Tong Mu rarely came back to stay in the past, why did she suddenly come back?"
Except for Chinese New Year and holidays, Tong Mu would not stay overnight in the old house. Even if it was Chinese New Year or holidays, he would not stay for more than two days.
Although everyone is curious, no one will ask.
When I turned around, I saw that it was Tong Xuming, a sideline boy who was usually not very good at talking and loved to eat, drink and have fun.
His father was sitting next to him, looking quite embarrassed, and kept shooting him in the eye.
Tong Zhengli knew that everyone was curious and didn't keep it secret, so he just said it.
"It's because of the Zhou family's affairs."
Tong Mu's heart immediately aroused. You wouldn't tell everyone about this kind of thing, would you?!
Hu Qinrong's expression also changed slightly.
"Zhou family? What Zhou family?"
This guy seemed to be confused and kept asking questions.
His father couldn't bear it anymore, so he pinched him secretly.
Tong Xuming suddenly jumped up from the table and screamed ouch.
"Dad, why are you pinching me?!"
The Tong family always pays attention to rules, and few people would fight in front of Tong Zhengli without blinking. He immediately darkened his face.
Tong Xuming's father stood up quickly and said, "Second uncle, this child is not big or small. I will take him back to educate him first. You can eat slowly."
Tong Zhengli waved impatiently, "Let's go."
The old man is in a good mood today, so he won't cause trouble.
Tong Yiyi saw everyone's reactions in her eyes. Her posture was dignified and polite.
"Second Grandpa, you haven't said anything yet, what's going on with the Zhou family?" She smiled with a gentle expression.
If she asked the Zhou family, she knew a Zhou family.
But that was decades ago. At that time, the Tong family was not the only one in Shengchun.
The Tong family and the Zhou family are like two kings on the same land.
Prop this place up and carry it forward.
Tong Zhengli likes people who understand the rules, "He is an old friend of mine. He has just returned to China recently. I want to let the younger generation get to know each other."
Tong Mu felt relieved and ate the food slowly.
Tong Yiyi smiled and looked at the people at the table, "It turns out that this is the reason. Meeting the second grandfather's old friends is a big deal."
When talking about old friends, the old man couldn't help but beam with joy.
I think back then, they were good comrades wearing a pair of pants.
"Mumu, did you see your Grandpa Zhou when you went back?"
Tong Mu nodded, "I see."
The old man was even happier, "How is he now? Is he still in high spirits?"
Tong Mu looked at him and hesitated a little.
"Grandpa Zhou is also very energetic, but he doesn't look as young as grandpa."
Everyone sees youth differently, Tong Zhengli burst out laughing.
"I have long said that Mr. Zhou will age faster than me, but he doesn't believe it!"
Tong Mu twitched the corners of his mouth, lowered his head and ate silently.
Tong Zhengli's temperament is completely opposite to Tong Zhao's. The older he gets, the more he looks like an old naughty boy.
Everyone else at the table couldn't help but glance at Tong Mu. They didn't expect her to be really well.
Compared with the straight-faced personality before, I am much more lovable now. I can even play ball, and you can coax the old man.
Tong Yiyi knew the Zhou family. When she was young, she always thought that the second uncle of the Zhou family was going to marry her aunt.
Later, I don’t know whether the two of them didn’t see eye to eye or something else, but the matter ended up being nothing.
At that time, Tong and Zhou's families were on good terms, but Tong Zhengli had no biological daughter and wanted his niece to marry him.
Who knew that the second son of the Zhou family had fallen in love with a woman from outside.
The niece of the Tong family was very satisfied with him and was a little moved, but no matter how much trouble she made later, after learning about this incident, Tong Zhengli would not allow her to marry him.
Even if such a man gets married, he will only be a resentful couple for the rest of his life.
Tong Yiyi glanced at Tong Mu, her mind drifting elsewhere.
So, now that the Tong and Zhou families are in contact again, are they planning to get married again?
Sure enough, Tong Zhengli changed his tone and suddenly asked about Zhou Can.
"Have you met that boy from the Zhou family? How is he like?"
As a person?
Tong Mu only regarded him as an ordinary greeting, an elder's concern for the younger generation.
Tong Zhao stared at Tong Mu nervously, fearing that he would hear something shocking from her mouth.
Tong Mu thought for a while and said truthfully: "The best among the average, the outstanding."
With such a high evaluation, Tong Zhao looked dejected.
He knew it! In just a few days, this girl was blinded by lard!
If that wasn't the case, how could you say so many nice things to praise that brat?!
Tong Mu is just discussing things and making objective evaluations.
In front of so many people, she couldn't say that Zhou Can had a bad temper and was difficult to deal with.
So if word spreads and the Zhou family knows about it, what if Zhou Can goes down the mountain overnight and silences her.
And Zhou Can just received a beating because of her today. Let him have a better reputation...
After dinner, the old man took Tong Zhao into the study. The two of them were mysterious and didn't know what they were discussing.
After sending Hu Qinrong away, Tong Mu was too lazy to deal with such a large room of people. He just said he was dizzy and went into the room to rest.
I had just returned home and hadn't sat down for long when my cell phone rang.
Tong Mu picked up the phone and saw an unfamiliar number.
She answered, "Hello."
"Hello." There was a clear and pleasant male voice on the other end of the phone, "When will you be free today?"
Tong Mu was stunned for a moment, then realized in the next second, it should be Fu Guanmo.
Tong Mu walked to the window, looked at the people in the yard, and said distressedly: "I don't know, I may not be able to go out in the next few days."
These days? Still there?
Fu Guanmo straightened his expression and asked Tong Mu in a gentle voice.
"What, what trouble did you encounter?"
At this moment, Fu Guanmo is sitting in the company, with a lot of documents on the table.
After dealing with it this morning, there is still more than half of it waiting for him to see.
Tong Mu's chuckle came from the phone, "No, I went back to my grandpa's house temporarily."
Hearing this, Fu Guanmo's beautiful brows furrowed tightly.
"Grandpa won't let you go out?"
Tong Mu hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Well, actually, there are guests coming to the house recently. If I go out, I can't go out for more than two hours."
