Chapter 1904: Care (5)

The Zhou residence was more of a Chinese architectural style, and the backyard was almost the same kind of garden style with five steps, one floor, and ten steps, one pavilion.

Although Elder Master Zhou had a military background, he was also from a scholarly family, so he still paid attention to elegance in his bones. This Zhou residence was originally designed by Zhou Zimo’s grandmother, it was based on the style that the old couple liked.

After the old woman left, Elder Master Zhou quietly guarded this residence. Fortunately, Zhou Zhenjun and Liang Jing also lived at home, which made the residence more lively.

It was Elder Master Zhou’s wish for many years to have more children’s laughter in this residence. However, Zhou Zimo was not anxious at all. Instead, he made them anxious.

“This part was originally a large patch of Persian chrysanthemums. Grandmother quite liked these flowers. After Grandmother passed away, Grandfather said that these Persian chrysanthemums reproduced too quickly and were not very good for the other flowers in the courtyard, so he had people dispose of them. After replacing it with this large patch of lawn, actually, everyone understood that Grandfather was probably afraid of how the sight of some things would make him miss a certain someone, so they just let him be.”

Under the balcony of the backyard, Zhou Zimo brought Qin Su around the large backyard of the Zhou residence.

The two of them passed through the winding corridors and walked into the depths of the courtyard. Zhou Zimo explained the flowers and plants in the courtyard to Qin Su.

“The old chief has a deep affection for the old madam. That’s quite nice,” Qin Su replied indifferently.

“It’s not really a deep affection. If it’s really a deep affection, then only Grandfather Mu and Grandmother Mu are more appropriate. Grandfather’s feelings for Grandmother is just very ordinary. They treat each other with respect of a husband and wife, their relationship was a very conventional one.”

Zhou Zimo explained with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, “The relationships of that era were not as complicated as ours are now. I heard that Grandfather and Grandmother were also on blind dates. They were of the same social class, and then had a good look of each other before they got together.”

“At that time, the environment was more traditional. I was looking forward to that kind of relationship, but I couldn’t help but sigh. What if…”

“You are just a little pessimistic. Many things actually seem to be quite perfect. Don’t think too much about it. It’s better to let nature take its course than anything else. You never dare to take the first step, so how can you obtain joy and happiness? Do you really think happiness will knock on the door by itself?”

As Zhou Zimo spoke, he looked at Qin Su meaningfully.

Qin Su paused for a moment, but did not reply. She turned to look out of the corridor and realized that it was already quite late. The sky had already darkened. After thinking for a moment, she said, “It’s getting dark very quickly now.”

“It’s almost time for dinner. Come with me, I’ll bring you to my room for a walk.”

As soon as Zhou Zimo finished speaking, he did not wait for Qin Su to react before he reached out to grab Qin Su and turned around to walk into the house behind him.

…

Dinner was quickly prepared. The whole family was naturally very cordial, which made Qin Su feel a little shy.

Qin Su also prepared a gift for Elder Master Zhou. It was a treasured scroll of calligraphy. Elder Master Zhou was naturally very happy and praised Qin Su for being sensible. Of course, she also brought some health products for Zhou Zhenjun and Liang Jing. The husband and wife were also extremely satisfied.

After dinner, Elder Master Zhou let Qin Su play a few games of military chess with him. Both of them were equally matched, but they seemed to be having a good time playing chess.

While Zhou Zimo was packing up some things upstairs, he could hear Elder Master Zhou’s joyous laughter downstairs.

Elder Master Zhou had not been so happy for a long time. It seemed that bringing Qin Su back today was the right decision. The whole family liked her, so Zhou Zimo was even more motivated now.

He did not expect that the old man, who was usually long-winded, would like a granddaughter-in-law with a personality like Qin Su’s. Perhaps it was because Qin Su had the temperament of a soldier in her bones, which made the old man find amiable.

When they were about to leave, it was already past nine o’clock in the evening. The old man even got up to personally send the two of them out.

“Grandfather, Father, Mother, you can all go back. It’s quite cold outside.”

When they walked down the stairs in front of the door, Zhou Zimo suddenly turned around and looked at the few people who stood up to send them off. He said this in a low voice.

“It’s fine. It’s just a small breeze. How cold can it be? No matter how cold the weather is, I’ve seen a lot of it. Now that my body is strong, I can still withstand it.”

The person who replied was Elder Master Zhou.

As Elder Master Zhou spoke, his old eyes fell on Qin Su—

“Qin Su, today is the happiest day Grandfather has had in the past few days. If you have time, come over and play chess with Grandfather. Grandfather will tell you the story of our revolution. You must be very interested, right? Also, take this bracelet. Zimo’s grandmother told me to leave it for my granddaughter-in-law. After so many years, I can finally give it away without worry. Don’t mind it. Come, Zimo, put it on Qin Su.”

The old man had gotten a bracelet from God knows where. When everyone looked over, they saw that the bracelet looked very crystal clear. One look and they could tell that it was a valuable item.

Elder Master Zhou passed the bracelet to Zhou Zimo and kept signalling with his eyes for Zhou Zimo to put it on Qin Su.

Qin Su did not even have time to react before Zhou Zimo took it. He quickly pulled Qin Su’s hand and swiftly put the bracelet on her fair wrist.

Qin Su only reacted when a faint warmth hit her. She quickly lowered her gaze to look at her wrist and saw that there was an exquisite and beautiful bracelet on her wrist. It had simple and elegant patterns. She looked at it and admired it, but…

“Elder Chief, this gift is too expensive. I can’t accept it. Zimo and I are just…”

“Since it’s given to you, you should accept it.”

Zhou Zimo interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. As he spoke, he grabbed her wrist and replied, “We’ll be going back first. Grandfather, Mother and Father, you should go back and rest early. We’ll come back when we have time.”

“Okay, be careful on the way. Oh right, you guys are usually busy and probably don’t have time to cook. I’ve prepared quite a lot of ingredients and dishes just now. It’s half-finished. I’ve asked Aunt Wei to pack it up for you guys and put it in the car. You two can bring it back to cook and eat it.” Liang Jing said very amiably.

“Qin Su, remember to come back home when you have time. Auntie will cook delicious food for you. If Zimo bullies you, just tell me. Your Uncle Zhou and I will definitely teach him a lesson.”

“Thank you, Auntie Liang. I got it. He treats me well and won’t bully me. We’ll get back first. You guys should go back in too. It’s pretty cold outside. Goodbye!”
