Chapter 1493
"Unaccustomed," Xie Zhong said, taking a sip of the monkey wine Zhu Yanyi had contributed. "This capital is naturally good, but I am used to life in Sicheng Town. I am not used to it here. Besides, when one grows old, fallen leaves return to their roots. It is improper for someone of my age to wander out like this."
Zhu Yanyi laughed beside her. "Grandpa, you are actually reluctant to leave Guiyun and Tianyun, aren't you?"
"Knowing that, you still say it out loud? Be careful, or I won't give you this duck wing," Xie Zhong scolded with a smile. Indeed, he missed his little grandson and granddaughter a bit.
"Grandpa, this is called anger from shame," Zhu Yanyi said with a grin, deliberately picking up a roast duck wing and taking a bite.
Xie Xinlian glared at Zhu Yanyi with dissatisfaction. "No respect for elders. Little Yan has spoiled you rotten."
Zhu Yanyi shook her head quickly. "Mom, I don't think you are my real mother. Other people hope their sons-in-law spoil their daughters, but you complain that we are spoiled."
Zhu Yanli nodded in agreement beside her. "Yes, yes, Mom, if you act like this, you will lose our love."
"Go away," Xie Xinlian scolded with a laugh. "I let you go to university to learn knowledge, and now you use it all to deal with your mother."
"I didn't go to university," Zhu Yanyi raised her hand. "Mom, you can't wrong me. It was Sister who went to university."
"Second Sister, forget it. You are entering university in the second half of the year. It is more glorious than going to university," Zhu Zhibin said seriously while eating salt-baked chicken. "To tell the truth, Second Sister, if you are going to be a guest lecturer at the university and supervise graduate students, what level are you? Are you a lecturer or a professor?"
"I don't know," Zhu Yanyi waved her hand. She really didn't know. "Anyway, I haven't thought about it so much. I don't care whether it is lecturer or professor. I won't be teaching for long. I have to take the Saint's Academy exam at the end of next year. If I pass, I will become a student myself."
"That makes sense," Zhu Zhibin nodded, looking very agreeable.
"By the way, Doumiao, you will have the college entrance exam in a few days. Are you confident?" Zhu Yanyi asked.
"Should be no problem. This knowledge is already in my head," Zhu Zhibin nodded seriously. He had finished learning the textbook knowledge long ago. If not for his accident, he would have just read other books and studied space-time theory.
"Rest well in the courtyard these days, and review a bit. Try to become the top scorer," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.
Zhu Zhibin hummed, then looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Actually, being the top scorer isn't that great. Just like you, you were the top scorer, but you didn't enter university."
"I am entering in the second half of the year," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.
"Is that the same? Others go as students, you go as a teacher," Zhu Zhibin felt his second sister was born to tease him.
Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Zhu Zhibin. "Are you dissatisfied?"
"No, no, just sighing," Zhu Zhibin laughed. To tell the truth, Zhu Zhibin rarely admired anyone. Now, the people he admired were his teacher, Mr. Hua, and his sister, Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanli wanted to say something, but the baby in her belly moved. She gasped, and everyone looked at her with concern. Zhu Yanyi went over to take her pulse. Zhu Yanli smiled. "It's fine. It's just fetal movement. The baby likes to turn over recently. Usually at this time, her dad reads to her. Since Yuanxiang is not here today, she is probably unaccustomed, so she turned over."
After taking the pulse, Zhu Yanyi nodded to everyone. "It's fine. The baby is just moving." Then she smiled. "Brother-in-law is really good. He knows how to give prenatal education."
"she is a very good father and husband," Zhu Yanli was very satisfied with her current life. She was very happy.
"What are you talking about?" Yan Aohan and Taishu Yuanxiang returned.
Zhu Yanyi went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks. Zhu Zhibin brought a stool over for them to sit down and eat together.
"Just now, Eldest Sister said the nephew in her belly missed Brother-in-law. Because Brother-in-law usually reads to her at this time, and didn't today, so she turned over," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "Sister praised Brother-in-law as a good father and good husband."
Yan Aohan smiled and served Zhu Yanyi a piece of sweet and sour ribs. "I will also be a good husband, and a good father in the future."
"I didn't say you weren't," Zhu Yanyi glared at Yan Aohan, who was blindly joining in the fun, looking helpless.
Yan Aohan smiled slightly, his eyes full of happiness. Taishu Yuanxiang also smiled, then served Zhu Yanli some food she could eat. "Eat more. One eats, two benefit."
"Come, Yuanxiang, Little Yan, let's have a drink," Zhu ShunYao called out with a smile.
Taishu Yuanxiang and Yan Aohan naturally would not refuse the father-in-law's invitation, and they drank together.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very gentle. After eating, everyone sat in the living room watching TV and chatting. Zhu Yanyi even brewed tea for everyone. Of course, Zhu Yanli and Zhu Zhibin could not drink tea, so they could only drink plain water.
"Has the result come out?" Zhu Yanyi asked Yan Aohan.
Yan Aohan nodded, a trace of thin anger flashing in his eyes, but it was too fast for anyone to notice. "You will never guess who the mastermind behind this is?"
"Who?" Zhu Yanyi asked casually.
Except for Taishu Yuanxiang, everyone looked at Yan Aohan with curiosity. Hearing Yan Aohan's words, they knew it must be a familiar person, someone they at least knew.
"Zhu Shengyao," Yan Aohan spat out three characters.
"Zhu Shengyao? Who is that? From the Zhu family in Zhu City?" Zhu ShunYao hadn't turned the corner in his mind yet, so he asked.
Zhu Yanyi looked at Zhu ShunYao. "Dad, you haven't forgotten the person Zhu Shengyao, have you? Zhu Shengyao is your half-brother, the son of Zhu Shenfu. She is currently in Hong Kong."
"(⊙o⊙)…" Zhu ShunYao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Even if he is my half-brother, what does it have to do with me? I don't know him, nor have I met him. Why would he scheme against my son for no reason?"
Zhu ShunYao really felt aggrieved. Who could have thought the culprit was Zhu Shengyao.
She didn't know from childhood that she was not Zhu Guifu's son. Later, when she found out, she broke away and became an independent descendant of the third branch. However, she did not have much admiration for Zhu Shenfu. She had passed the time when she needed a father. Hearing that Zhu Shenfu was living well in Hong Kong, with a wife and children, she was not jealous. After all, she thought she had no fate with parents in this life. But she had a good wife and three obedient, smart children, so she was very satisfied with her current life.
She had never thought about going to Hong Kong to recognize Zhu Shenfu. It was unnecessary. She had her own career, and her family lacked nothing in food and clothing. To use a heartless phrase, she even felt it was better not to recognize Zhu Shenfu, so she could be at ease.
