They both spoke in unison. This time, the two of them just looked at each other quietly. No one spoke, and the room suddenly became so silent that a pin could drop to the ground.
Dong dong dong...
The pendulum clock in the corner rang, and the two of them looked slightly at the black floor clock that sounded like an ancient clock.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the clock, turned his attention to Xiao Ya, and tentatively pointed at the white door; "How about I go get a room?"
Xiao Ya did not respond, but she squeezed the hem of her skirt with both hands, and her face was blooming crimson like a peach blossom in full bloom. As if she had made up her mind, she raised her head and looked at Zhou Weiguo firmly; "I have always been
Your wife."
Well, in fact, Zhou Weiguo also planned to cook the rice. It was not about other things, but he was somewhat worried. Xiao Ya and he were just fiancées at the moment, not even a family. With so many real estate properties in Shanghai, the two
A little sales will be a huge amount of income later in the year. What if she really changes her mind?
It's not that I'm a thief or that I'm hypocritical, but that too many people in future generations will undergo huge changes because of money.
"You...you don't want to?" Seeing Zhou Weiguo lower his head and remain silent, Xiao Ya thought he was disdainful of herself, and her voice became a little depressed. After all, she was a girl, and it was against heaven to say such unspeakable words.
, if Zhou Weiguo refuses, it will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to himself.
Zhou Weiguo shook his head; "No, of course I am willing."
Although Xiao Ya made a difficult decision, in the end, the two of them still did not cross the last step. Zhou Weiguo also knew what she was thinking. After all, she was a lady, and the education she received prevented her from crossing that heavy threshold.
"When I come back from Kyoto, we will hold a wedding." Zhou Weiguo looked at Xiao Ya who was sitting by the bed, walked over to her and squatted down.
Xiao Ya's face turned crimson but she bowed her head with guilt. The matter was settled. Zhou Weiguo thought of something and took out a pistol from his waist. This gun was given by General Zhang. He just kept coming.
If I didn’t give it to Xiao Ya, it just so happened that I could give it to him today.
"Put this away." Zhou Weiguo handed over the pistol. The dark pistol made Xiao Ya tremble and shake her head; "I am from a girl's family, why do I need this? I am saying that I have yours."
It is true that she is there, but she will not be here for a few years. Wu Yong and others are also in the military camp. There will always be times when they are not around, and having a gun with them can still make her feel stable.
"Keep it. When I'm not around, it will be with you, just like I am by your side." Zhou Weiguo's words made Xiao Ya hum and take the pistol and put it in her purse.
"Go to sleep, I have something to do tomorrow." After Zhou Weiguo signaled Xiao Ya to go to bed, he covered her with a quilt, then walked to the window and looked at the bustling Shanghai in a daze.
At dawn, Zhou Weiguo, who had been lying on the sofa all night, waited for Xiao Ya to finish dressing up, then got up and left the hotel, and drove to Citibank. Yesterday, Zhou Weiguo had asked the hotel's help to notify, so Citibank's
The manager was waiting at the door early.
Seeing Zhou Weiguo get out of the car, he walked up to Zhou Weiguo with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhou, you are here."
Zhou Weiguo nodded and entered the VIP room with Xiao Ya, who was staring at the big bank in surprise. Xiao Ya was confused almost the whole way, especially when she saw the dozens, seven or eight villas in Shanghai and those outside the city on the list.
She didn't even know where her fiancé got the money to buy so much real estate.
This is Shanghai, not Suzhou City. Even if his father was wealthy, he would not have the guts to buy so much.
Zhou Weiguo simply explained that he bought it during the war, but did not mention the source of the money.
After everything was taken care of, the two of them returned to the car and walked towards Nanjing instead of going back to the hotel. After all, it was too late for the two of them to make any delays.
Taking the highway, we had to pass through Suzhou City. Seeing that Zhou Weiguo had no intention of staying, Xiao Ya slightly looked in the direction of home and slowly asked tentatively, "Daddy still cares about you very much. You won't be here for a few years after you leave."
Come on, don’t you really plan to go back and take a look?”
Zhou Weiguo stepped on the brakes and stopped. He had no intention of going back. He didn't know what to say when he went back. However, he thought that without Zhou Jixian, he would not be here, let alone get such a beautiful and immortal daughter-in-law.
Forget it, let's go and see him. Suzhou cannot be saved. If he can be persuaded to leave Suzhou City and go to Chongqing to Chengdu or Kunming and other places, war can be avoided.
In a familiar place and familiar environment, Zhou Weiguo stood in the living room with his head lowered, not daring to look at Zhou Jixian sitting at the table.
Zhou Jixian had a somewhat fierce look, and the black robe he was wearing made Zhou Weiguo's heart beat. If the old man settled the old score and said that he was unfilial and escaped from marriage, and gave him a family-style beating, then he wouldn't be able to do it.
We arrived in Nanjing on time.
In the quiet living room, Zhou Weiguo secretly squinted at the old man above who was silently drinking tea from his cup, and then looked at Xiao Ya who was sitting aside with a worried look on his face.
There was a slight crash, and Zhou Weiguo raised his eyes slightly to see that Zhou Jixian had put down the tea cup and was looking at him.
"Is the money enough?"
Zhou Weiguo, who was ready to bear the wrath of thunder, was stunned when he heard this. This was completely different from what he thought.
Zhou Jixian was indeed angry. He ran away from marriage and contradicted his parents. What a sin. During that time, he even had the idea of expelling Zhou Wen from his family and clearing out his family tree. But when he thought that he was his own son, he hesitated, and the arrival of his old friend General Zhang
, explaining Zhou Wen's escape from marriage and changing his name to join the army.
His resentment disappeared. Not long ago, his old friend sent a letter, and he kept exaggerating about the son in front of him. He was even more satisfied. After all, it was rare for that guy to praise someone.
He already knew that Zhou Weiguo was going to study there, and he was worried that if Zhou Weiguo had no money, he arranged for Liu Zhihui to rush to deliver the money, but he really didn't expect Zhou Weiguo to come back without telling him, and take Xiao Ya with him.
This extinguished all his anger. All he has left now is concern for Zhou Weiguo.
"That's enough, this time the state is paying for us to study." Zhou Wei explained hurriedly.
Zhou Jixian waved his hand after hearing this; "What can you do with that little money? You need to spend money there, you need to make friends, and you need to spend money on everything. Just be prepared and go. I asked Zhihui to send it to you, but I don't want you to
When you get back, just in time, let’s take some from home.”
Zhou Jixian said this and then became serious, walked up to Zhou Weiguo, patted his shoulder and said meaningfully: "Study hard and don't let down the country's expectations."
With the money and the gentle pat on the shoulder, Zhou Weiguo suddenly realized that in fact, he had been rejecting this strange home all along.
His eyes were slightly moist. Although he was not Zhou Wen, he occupied Zhou Wen's body. If Zhou Wen didn't do it, then he should do it by himself, pay filial piety by himself, and protect this big family.
We can't let the old man be here anymore, we have to get him away. Otherwise something will happen in the future. Zhou Weiguo lowered his head and thought for a moment before raising his head and looking at Zhou Jixian: "Dad, can our family build a gauze factory in the back?"
