Chapter 193: An Appointment
Zhou Shou did not disturb Wang Lang. He heard it from outside the door. This was not a good idea, and Wang Lang was definitely not in the mood to greet them at this time.
Zhou Tong glanced at Zhou Cun, and the two brothers left quietly. He did not hide it deliberately, but he didn't know whether Wang Lang knew about it in the end.
Since then, Zhou Shou and Wang Lang have had less contact, not because they were afraid of being implicated, but because they felt that Wang Lang was not as innocent and harmless as he appeared.
Later, Zhou Cun became the mayor and began to rectify the town. Before starting the rectification, Zhou Cun went to Changlefang. He had to ask about the situation and see what the reaction was.
Wang Lang is his elder brother's friend. He will definitely kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, but he does not want to implicate Wang Lang. Moreover, according to his investigation, Changlefang is already clean, and Wang Lang is not the kind of inhumane person.
Although he makes money by opening a gambling house, he will not persecute other families for money. If he has not repaid his gambling debts several times, he will not be allowed to enter the casino again to avoid ruining his family.
Because of this, Zhou Cun also planned to issue new regulations starting from Changlefang, and gradually change the town's bad habits.
Unexpectedly, Wang Lang agreed, and Zhou Cun began to rectify the town. However, there were too many people who disagreed, so Zhou Cun suppressed them all and even set up a special escort team.
It was also from that time that Zhou Shou and Wang Lang went far apart. In any case, he and his brother were opposites, and if Zhou Cun's investigation was strict, the Wang family would definitely not be in peace.
He didn't want them to be in a dilemma, and they became alienated step by step. I don't know if Wang Lang noticed it and took a step further away. Not long after, Zhou Shou felt that there was no big way out as the mayor, so he went to work outside. At this point,
The two completely lost contact.
"I can still think of the man's insidious voice. I have been outside all these years and I don't know if the Wang family has been harmed. But even if there is a possibility, I will never let Yan Yan marry her. It is not safe.
"
Because of this incident, Zhou Shou felt that it was unsafe to open a gambling house, and what he did in Yaocheng was also unsafe, but since his family was not there, no one would find his weakness.
Therefore, when Yan Yan mentioned this matter at first, he disagreed. His precious daughter could not let her fall into this pit of fire.
"Actually, it's not that serious. The town is no longer what it used to be. Over the years, no one in the Wang family has had any trouble. Brother, don't worry too much."
Zhou Cun didn't know what was going on. He originally disagreed. Since his eldest brother was not at home, he had to take care of his niece. But now that his eldest brother was back, he felt that the matter was not that serious.
"Forget it, let's not discuss this for now. It's useless for me to object. That girl Yanyan has a tough temper! She likes that person, so what's the use of me trying to stop her?"
Zhou Shou thought of putting it off for now while he thought about it carefully, then investigated, and then made a decision when it was absolutely necessary.
Zhou Cun didn't try to persuade him anymore. After all, if possible, he didn't want Yan Yan to marry into the Wang family. But he was prepared for the worst. He would definitely be the mayor for a long time, so he would send someone to protect Yan Yan.
Until it can no longer be protected.
Zhou went back after receiving the meal. The food cooked by the cook at home was delicious. He had gained a lot of weight after being back for half a month.
Zhou Cun didn't go. He still had official business to deal with, and he had been there many times. It was not good for Yun Niang to be alone at home.
Zhou Huan went back to have a meal. He was very satisfied. It was Yang Yatou who was better! He said it last time, and she wrote a lot of recipes for the dishes. Although they couldn't taste as good, they were still delicious.
Extremely.
Gang leader Wu and the others have already gone back. They all gained weight when they left. If it weren't for the friendship between gang leaders, they really wouldn't want to go back!
Compared with their distant city, this town is a paradise. Really, there are so many delicious foods that make you want to swallow them. It is also very peaceful here. You don’t have to be wary of others all the time. You can’t even sleep.
Fragrant.
They all thought carefully, or else they should talk to the gang leader and ask their gang to move here! It is rich here, and people who are serious can support themselves and their families without doing anything bad.
Zhou Shou doesn't know what they are thinking. If he knows, he will definitely be willing to do it. This town will only become more prosperous if there are more people and more business!
Zhou collected two plates of snacks and a pot of good tea and hid in the study. He was really afraid of his little ancestor. It was really annoying, his eyes urged you on!
Although he doesn't like reading, he still has a decent study room. When he discusses things with Zhou Lin or looks at his account books, no one dares to disturb him.
He finally managed to hide for a while, but a servant came to the door and said he had an invitation to pay his respects.
He was also curious. His old friends all came directly to the door. They were all rough guys. There was really no such thing as a greeting card. Out of curiosity, he opened it and saw that it was Wang Lang.
Zhou Shou wanted to laugh a little. When did this old boy do this? When he saw the content, he knew that this reminiscing about old times was fake. He must have come to seek revenge on his family for the sake of his son.
Hey! It's said that it's all about reminiscing about old times, so he has to go, just take a look at the situation!
Wang Lang made an appointment at the theater. This theater only opened last year and is quite popular. It's quite pleasant to drink tea and listen to the opera. The teahouse is actually OK, but this theater is a new place, and Zhou Enlai should be there by now.
Haven't been there yet.
"You have been cleaning up for so long and you haven't finished it yet? I have never seen you care so much. If you didn't know that you were going to see a friend, you would have thought you were going to see some little lady!" said the Queen Mother, rolling her eyes.
An hour has passed since the meal. I am still looking left and right. I have changed my clothes several times, but I am still a little dissatisfied.
"That's different. Zhou Shou and I haven't seen each other for many years. We are no longer young, but I have to compare with him to see who is younger."
Just because they haven't seen each other for a long time, they have the idea of comparison. They used to love to compete with each other. Now in terms of business, his Changlefang is very good, and the business outside that week is also very good. There is nothing comparable.
Yes.
There are also children. Zhou Sou has both children. He also has two sons, who are about the same. Then we should compare who is more handsome and younger.
The Queen Mother curled her lips after hearing this. This man is really boring. Two grown men are really compared to this!
"Don't forget what you are going to do this time. It's better to give in to Brother Zhou and don't make others angry. Our son still wants to marry someone else's girl!"
"It doesn't matter. I understand that old boy Zhou Shou. He can still distinguish between big and small matters clearly. I will talk to him carefully and the safekeeping will not be ruined."
Wang Lang tidied up the house grandly, and Zhou Shou was not idle. In the past, he would only come back for a few days, which was not enough to spend time with his children, let alone go out to meet friends.
Therefore, he and Wang Lang hadn't seen each other for three or four years. He must have been roughed up a lot from being exposed to the wind and sun outside, but he had to clean up well and not let Wang Lang laugh.
Zhou Shou didn't like to go late, but when he thought that Wang Lang must be here for Yan Yan this time, he felt uncomfortable. He waited until the time was up before he went over. Humph! As the elder of the girl's family, he had to be reserved.
point.
Wang Lang went early and sat waiting for Zhou Shou to pass. Seeing that it was almost time, Zhou Shou hadn't passed yet, and he was a little surprised. He remembered that Zhou Shou was impatient and would arrive early every time. Why today?
Before Wang Lang could think about it, he saw Zhou Shou arriving. The agreed time was not late, he had actually calculated the time and arrived at the right time.
"Brother Zhou's style is still the same. He looks no different from a few years ago. He is well maintained!" Wang Lang praised.
I don't know why, I haven't seen him for several years, and we didn't interact frequently before, but now when we meet, there is no sense of distance, and we are still very cordial.
"That's natural, after all, I'm still young! And I've been running around all these years, and I've kept exercising, and my body is in great shape! You look good, but are you fat?"
Zhou Shou looked Wang Lang up and down. He looked fat. Could it be that this old boy had gained weight?
The corner of Wang Lang's mouth twitched. Sure enough, after so many years, Zhou Shou still couldn't speak. Whenever he spoke, it made people feel aggrieved.
"I have gained some weight. When my two sons grew up, I let them manage the business. I played chess and teased birds every day. I lived a comfortable life, but I gained some weight. There are so many delicious restaurants in the town.
If you go to Yipinxiang to eat often, you will gain weight!"
Wang Lang did not deny that he had indeed gained a little weight, but it was not bad, but Zhou Shou had already said so, so he would show off.
Zhou Shou was exhausted outside, but he had heard that Yaocheng was in chaos and poor, and there was no decent food, let alone delicious food.
He was different. He lived very leisurely every day, listening to operas, playing with birds, playing chess and drinking tea... It was so beautiful!
There is also a place like Yipinxiang in this town. I go there for a meal after a while, and I can bring a few dishes back to eat every day. I enjoy it very much! He is such a happy fat man!
Wang Lang's hatred is very good, isn't Zhou Shou just jealous! He doesn't talk about anything else outside the home, but the food is just torture to death. In Yaocheng, you have to save food!
"Brother Wang is really leisurely, but unfortunately, when people are idle, they can't manage their figure well. We are not very young now, so we can't look like a potbellied man, tut tut tut..."
Neither of them was willing to admit defeat, and both felt that the other was not as good as themselves, so they started to quarrel with each other.
After the two of them stared at each other cross-eyed for a long time, they laughed at each other again. This laughter really felt like they were back to the past again.
Chapter completed!
