Uncle Lin looked at his grown-up, tall and handsome nephew and intervened with words: "Okay, okay, everything is fine."
To be honest, my nephew looks exactly like his late brother-in-law, but he is taller and more handsome.
This similar appearance made Uncle Lin feel a little uneasy.
Although everything he did was worthy of his sister, he also thought a lot about his nephew. However, his friendship with his brother-in-law was made with a guilty conscience.
Zhou Lan didn't know that Uncle Lin thought so much. He was a little embarrassed when he saw that his uncle only said this sentence for a while, and he couldn't find a suitable topic for a while.
Fortunately, Cousin Lin is at home, and his cousins have endless things to say. And they are really close.
Cousin Lin looked at his cousin who had grown taller and was no weaker than him. He was in a very happy mood. He thought about the things his cousin had entrusted him with when he was on a study tour. He also thought about his cousin's house, where his younger brothers and sisters were taking care of the general affairs, so he was inevitably concerned about them.
Two: "Brothers and sisters, if anything happens, just ask someone to come find me. You're welcome."
Cousin Lin has no other intentions. After all, this is the capital. He is more familiar with the local area than his cousin. If there is any trouble in general affairs, he will help. This is a kind of care for the cousin's house. I specifically said that if anything happens, don't be afraid.
trouble.
Zhou Lan smiled and said: "I am not polite to my cousin. When Zhou Lan was away from home, Zhuangzi and the yard were all thanks to my cousin. When I came to the capital, I was able to have my own mansion and live in such comfort. It was all thanks to my cousin."
Brother's blessing. If Zhuangzi is good, the yard will be better."
Cousin Lin was very happy, and he was happy that he could make his cousin come to the capital more comfortable: "Whatever I do, my brothers and sisters have given me money."
Cousin Lin mentioned his younger brother and sister a few words, and Zhou Lan was not very happy. He didn't want to talk about his wife to others, so he changed the subject directly: "My cousin is going to take part in the examination this time."
Cousin Lin is so smart. The cousin changed the subject twice, and he said twice, "This cousin has grown up, and he has met him, and he still knows how to protect his wife, but he is not protecting the place. He treats her as a child."
I'm sorry. If the situation wasn't right, I would have to drag my cousin to practice.
Cousin Lin changed the topic with Zhou Lan: "Of course I want to try it. How prepared my cousin is, I have some confidence."
Zhou Lan didn't take it seriously at Cousin Lin's tut. He had developed his shame a long time ago, so he pretended not to hear: "We brothers are in a company together. Although we are not sure, we have to give it a try."
"
Cousin Lin admired Cousin Zhou's cheek. He was so thick-skinned that it was hard to ridicule him: "I knew you were coming over. I talked to the gentleman over at the academy. You can come and listen to the lectures, and you can do it in name only."
That's not a place that anyone can go to casually. With the exam just around the corner, Cousin Lin has gone to such great lengths for Zhou Lan, which shows that he takes this cousin seriously and has a deep brotherhood.
Cousin Lin also looked at him sideways, his son actually arranged everything without saying a word, he was more competent than his uncle.
Zhou Lan raised his hand to Cousin Lin and said, "Thank you very much, cousin, for taking the trouble, but we still have to discuss it with my husband as to how to arrange it."
Cousin Lin nodded: "We brothers don't have to be polite, just listen to your husband."
Then he said: "What happened to your cousin is really a pity. The gentlemen all think highly of him."
By the way, my cousin Zhou Xing is from the same college as my cousin Lin. When Zhou Lan's father was here, he was very considerate to his nephew.
Zhou Lan said calmly: "It's a bit of bad luck, it can't be controlled by human power." But he didn't say much about the rest. He also has the style of a gentleman.
A humble gentleman like Cousin Lin actually said: "So you should do less evil, so as not to bring disaster to future generations."
Zhou Lan was stunned because his cousin said it, so was he saying that his cousin was retribution?
The cousins didn't open their mouths, and they were not very friendly towards the second wife of the Zhou family. Zhou Lan finally said something impartial: "But do good deeds and don't ask about your future."
Cousin Lin didn't expect that his cousin could be so calm to the second wife of the Zhou family: "Come on, you have learned well from your husband, but you haven't practiced enough for my brother."
Isn't this Cousin Lin's test of Zhou Lan? If he can be indifferent to Zhou Lan's cousin, maybe the matter with his aunt can be over.
Zhou Lan took up the topic again with a smile and joked about cousin Lin: "I heard that my cousin is getting married soon."
In the past, their cousins did not shy away from any topic, so it was inevitable that they would feel a little sad.
There was no shyness on Cousin Lin's face, and he said openly and generously: "It's not very close. It will be after the examination."
Zhou Lan: "I would like to congratulate my cousin on his double happiness."
Cousin Lin: "Everything is planned by man, but accomplished by God. I don't dare to boast, just like your cousin. Who knows if he has not cultivated or committed evil in his life."
Zhou Lan: "What are you talking about, cousin? Is it because I'm not very knowledgeable and have no confidence in the exam? Make excuses for yourself first. My cousin's knowledge won't be so low on confidence."
Cousin Lin just shut up and didn't speak, and his expression turned out to be a bit gloomy.
Zhou Lan: "What kind of affection do we have as brothers? Maybe my cousin has something on his mind." Otherwise, why would he speak like this?
Cousin Lin held back something: "I just feel sorry for you because I have too many things to do."
Zhou Lan: "That's wrong. My cousin is not my father and mother. If he can do this to me, it's all out of love. How can I say I can't help it?"
Cousin Lin: "Is this really true?"
Zhou Lan: "Seriously, if my cousin had a rift with my uncle because of me, Zhou Lan would be the one who deserves to die. If he didn't have his uncle, Zhou Lan would have had no hope of becoming a rich man. Zhou Lan is only grateful to his uncle."
Why should my uncle be grateful? Cousin Lin sighed: "Don't think too much about it, it has nothing to do with you."
Zhou Lan didn't want to say much. After all, it was a matter between father and son. Zhou Lan said, "My uncle always treats his cousin wholeheartedly."
When Cousin Lin heard this, not only did he not feel persuaded, but he also felt sad.
So my uncle is not so wholeheartedly devoted to his nephew.
Zhou Lan saw that his cousin had a wrong expression and felt that he was wronged. He really didn't mean anything else, but his cousin obviously had a wrong idea. Forget it, outsiders were talking more and more, so why not change the topic: "What kind of temperament does my cousin have?
Brother’s wishes.”
When Cousin Lin heard this topic, he couldn't help snorting coldly: "After all, he is gentle and virtuous. He doesn't have much scheming, so he won't be cunning."
Obviously talking about someone's wife.
Zhou Lan twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that he was being connoted no matter what, and smiled: "Congratulations to my cousin for finding a good match."
Cousin Lin was amazed by his calmness and was really impressed.
His cousin didn't pick up the fight, so he couldn't tease his sister-in-law. He paused for a moment, and then slowly said, "It should be no different."
Cousin Lin: "We brothers almost went to Baoding Mansion to help you look after your wife, but now you are estranged from your cousin."
Zhou Lan: "You are young and ignorant, so it's hard to mention it again. If you are really estranged, why would you let your cousin take care of trivial matters? Don't say this anymore."
