Chapter 149, Zhou Xin
Mr. Zhou married two wives in his life, and he only had one daughter with his ex-wife, the eldest daughter Zhou Xin.After his ex-wife died of illness, he remarried his second wife, and had a son and a daughter with the second wife, the second daughter Zhou Ru, and the youngest son Zhou Jianguo.
It's a pity that the second wife was not a long-lived person, she passed away early, leaving only a few children, and then Mr. Zhou never remarried.
Their Zhou family was originally in the capital, but during the years of war, the Zhou family was scattered all over the place. Now, except for the main branch that is still in the capital, the other branches are not in the capital.They came to Jiangcheng and took root in Jiangcheng.
In the early years, it's not that Mr. Zhou never thought about going back to the capital, but later he felt that they had developed well here in Jiangcheng. After living here for decades, he was used to the life here, so he rested and continued. Go back to the heart of the capital.
His eldest daughter, Zhou Xin, was sent to the capital to go to university. When she was studying, she met the young master of the Zhang family. The two children fell in love freely. Later, her daughter married to the Zhang family in the capital. She has been living in the capital for these years, often Will be back to visit him.
Only the second daughter later went abroad to study, met a foreigner, and ran away with the foreigner. This matter has always been a pain in the heart of Mr. Zhou.If he had known that his daughter would run away with a foreign man, Mr. Zhou would never have sent his second daughter to study in the United States.
Zhou Xin married in the capital city, and she came back to Jiangcheng relatively recently. Over the years, she often came back to her natal home to visit her old father.
When she received the news of her father's illness this time, she was still on a business trip abroad, so she quickly put down what she was doing and handed it over to someone else to handle it, and took a plane back to Jiangcheng from there overnight.By the time she came back, her father had already returned home from the hospital to recuperate.
It wasn't until she came back to her natal home that Zhou Xin found out that her nephew didn't live at home and moved outside.After coaxing his father to rest, the two Zhou brothers sat in the living room, and Zhou Xin began to scold her younger brother, "You too, Xiao Xing is still young, is your father still young?"
Zhou Xin has been the eldest sister of the family since she was a child. After her mother passed away, her stepmother came in. She gave birth to a younger sister the next year, and gave her a younger brother a few years later.The stepmother is a kind woman, and she treats her stepdaughter better than her own children, so it is also because she is thinking about her stepmother's kindness to her. After the stepmother passed away, Zhou Xin took over the two younger siblings.
At that time, my father was busy with business matters, so he didn't have time to take care of their siblings. In those years, their Zhou family was not as good as it is now. Both siblings were raised by her, the eldest sister.
People say that the eldest sister is like a mother, which is why Zhou Jianguo can't get tough in front of this elder sister.
"He wants to move out and live outside, can I stop him?" Zhou Jianguo was also angry at being scolded for nothing.
Xu Haimei sat by her husband's side, and when the elder aunt gave her a cold look, her shoulders shrank uncontrollably.
If there was anyone afraid of her, Xu Haimei, it was probably her husband's eldest sister.Every time I see this eldest aunt, I feel like a mouse seeing a cat, wishing to hide, but she just has no place to hide.
"You should just stop it! Could it be that the child is going to kill and set fire, and you don't care?" Zhou Xin always felt that it was her sister who didn't educate her two younger siblings well, which made everyone so worry-free, sister It's fine if you insist on marrying abroad, and it's rare to come back all year round.
This younger brother even dared to cheat in marriage, raised a concubine and an illegitimate child outside, and treated his own son worse than an outsider after the divorce.
Zhou Xin has always disliked Xu Haimei. She thinks that this vixen ruined her younger brother's good marriage. She is not a kind woman at heart, and she is not good to her stepson when she comes back.
"I stopped, why should I stop? If he wants to kill and set fire, he can go, I think he is not far from killing and setting fire." Zhou Jianguo has been suppressed by this elder sister for so many years, and he is already very dissatisfied with this elder sister in his heart up.
Zhou Xing came in from the outside, just in time to hear his father's last words.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhou Xin turned her head and saw that her nephew had returned. She took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, smiled at her nephew, and said kindly, "Xiao Xing is back!" , My aunt has been back for so long, and I haven't seen you, child."
"Hello, Auntie." Zhou walked up to Auntie and greeted her.
When father and son meet, they hate each other.In front of this eldest aunt, Zhou Xing still called out "Father."
Zhou Jianguo snorted coldly and said, "You still know how to come back."
Zhou Xin glanced over, and Zhou Jianguo didn't dare to speak.
No wonder the nephew refused to come back. The father in the family is not a father, and the mother is not a relative. Zhou Xin is full of love.But in front of this nephew, Zhou Xin could only hold back her anger, and sat down holding her nephew's hand, "Xiaoxing, let's sit down and talk."
"Yes, Elder Aunt." Zhou Xing sat beside Elder Aunt, not even looking at the woman beside his father.
"Hey, you child, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have grown so tall. This time, my aunt brought you some winter clothes. You can try wearing them later. My aunt didn't expect you to grow so tall. There are so many, I don’t know if you can wear those clothes, I will send you some clothes later.”
The last time she saw her nephew was half a year ago. She didn't expect her nephew to grow so much in just half a year.Fortunately, she thought that her nephew was growing up at this age, and when the clothes were brought back, she gave her a size up.
Zhou Xin's husband's family has a certain position in politics. She also worked in the system in the early years, and she resigned from her original job ten years ago to start a business.Over the years, with the help of her husband's family, the business has flourished.
She has two clothing brands under her own hands, one for women's clothing and the other for men's clothing.Every season when new clothes come out in the factory, she will ask someone to send a batch to this nephew.Zhou Xin felt pity for this nephew in her heart, and treated her better than her own son. Every time she came back to her mother's house, she would definitely bring a lot of things for her nephew, from food and clothing to things she needed, and she wished she could bring them back in a truck.
"Really, I don't think it's much worse." Zhou Xing's clothes and shoes were all bought by his aunt. Every time this aunt came back to Jiangcheng, she brought him a lot of things.
This aunt is really kind to him, and he also remembers this aunt's kindness in his heart.
"Auntie, I already have a lot of clothes and shoes. You don't need to get someone to bring them back to me. I can't wear too many. It's too wasteful to put them away." It is true that his clothes and shoes have piled up into mountains. There are so many clothes that he can't wear that much by himself, and often some clothes are too small before they have time to wear them.
"Waste is not wasted. The most important thing is that we Xiaoxing dress handsomely and decently." Zhou Xin has a good look, and the clothing brands below are domestic first-line.Over the years, I have done business abroad, and people often go abroad, and I often search for all kinds of interesting things for my nephew.
It has to be said that Zhou Xing's extravagant and wasteful temperament was spoiled by his aunt.However, since he was with that boy, he has changed a lot in these aspects, and he felt very distressed when he thought that the boy was reluctant to buy even a better dress in winter.
At this moment, he was thinking about the clothes in his room. When he turned back, he could go inside and find some unworn clothes to bring to school for the teenagers to wear.He remembered that he had a lot of clothes that were not suitable for him if he hadn't worn them, and they kept piling up in the room, otherwise he wouldn't be able to wear them himself.
"Auntie, you should also pay attention to your body, don't work too hard." Zhou Xing looked at the white hair on the top of his aunt's head, and knew that this aunt had been running around all these years, and she was a person who couldn't stop.
"My aunt's health is fine, don't worry." Zhou Xin is clear about her body, but at her age, it's normal to have some physical problems, as long as it's not a big problem, she doesn't care.
"It's you, after you go to high school, can you keep up with your studies?"
"is acceptable."
She was busy some time ago, and Zhou Xin had no time to come back to Jiangcheng. She knew that her nephew had gone to high school, but she hadn't asked him how his studies and life in school were like.This time, seeing her nephew came back with great difficulty, Zhou Xin asked with concern how her nephew was doing and whether she could keep up with the progress of the course.
After learning that her nephew's grades in school were quite good, Zhou Xin even praised her nephew.
After chatting with his aunt for a while, Zhou Xing was still thinking about his grandfather, so he proposed to visit him.
"Oh, you go." Zhou Xin let her nephew go.
Zhou Xing got up and went to the house where his grandfather lived.The old man's legs and feet were not good, and he lived in a room on the first floor. He knocked on the door from the outside, and the door was opened from the inside. It was the housekeeper who opened the door for him.
"Is Grandpa asleep?"
"Not yet, go in quickly, young master."
Seeing that it was their young master who had returned, the housekeeper hurriedly let their young master in.
Zhou Xin, who was outside, saw her nephew entering her father's house, and then looked at her younger brother and sister-in-law in front of her, she no longer wanted to scold her younger brother.She knew that no matter how much she said, it was useless. On the contrary, it made the younger brother dislike her elder sister even more in his heart.
And it was all because of this woman, Zhou Xin pressed her head on Xu Haimei's body again.
Being stared at by this big aunt, Xu Haimei sat there not even daring to move.
Not long after, Zhou Xing helped the old man out of the house, and the family sat down to eat together.
