”Xiao Xue, don't be rude, this is your cousin Zhou Tian.” Li Yong's expression was extremely unsightly.
”What elder cousin? He doesn't look like uncle at all.”
”You …”
Li Yong was so angry that his voice trembled as he pushed open the door and entered.
Zhou Tian saw a girl wearing a pair of cute little bear sandals. She wore a pair of short pink sleeves and a pair of short pants. This girl was called Li Xue, she was his cousin and he had heard of her talking to his aunt on the mountain. She was quite pretty and was three years younger than him, so she was still in her second year of high school.
”Look at what you're wearing. Didn't your mom tell you that Cousin Zhou Tian is moving in with us today?”
Zhou Tian appeared calm as he waved his hand and smiled.
”It's fine. Dress naturally, like a family.”
”Family? ”Who's with your family? Our family doesn't have any extra rooms.” Li Xue put on a smelly face, not giving her cousin any face at all.
Pow!
A slap in the face.
Li Yong was stunned for a moment.
”Zhou Su, why did you hit your child?”
A tall and cold woman with a temperament walked out from the back room. She was dressed gracefully and her skin was well maintained. She was in her forties and there was not a single wrinkle to be seen on her face.
”Aunt, you …” The image of his aunt that appeared in Zhou Tian's mind was almost exactly the same as the one before him.
”This daughter of yours is about to be spoiled badly by you, Li Yong. Despite being so old, he didn't know any manners. He was young, yet he still pestered her. It was fine if she was just a little spoiled. You dare to do this to your cousin today? Do you know how much he has suffered and suffered in the Three Purities Monastery? ” Zhou Su swallowed her words and spat them out.
”But you can't hit children either.” The one Li Yong doted on the most was his only daughter.
At this moment, Li Xue had been slapped, and half her face was flushed red.
Facing her mother, she didn't dare to object. Like a deflated ball, she lowered her head and said nothing.
”Li Yong, do you still think our family is not chaotic enough?” ”Why are you still spouting nonsense when you didn't even make up for your own mess? Since when has it been your turn to speak in this house?”
Aunt had always been a domineering person, working as a manager in a sales company. However, his uncle was extremely obedient to his aunt. After twenty years of being together with her, he had long understood her temperament and used his usual method to change the topic.
”Look at you, Tian Tian has been on the train for so long and hasn't rested since. You two haven't even greeted each other.” ”What's more, if our neighbors see this, then won't they gossip about us behind our backs?”
Zhou Su's anger could be considered slightly dissipated.
She immediately grabbed Zhou Tian's head and cried out, ”Little Tian, this will be your home from now on. No one will dare to kick you out. In this world, your aunt is your only family. If you need anything, just tell your aunt. ”
”Got it, Auntie.” Zhou Tian noticed that Li Xue had already snuck back into the room and locked himself up.
”Come, come, come. The dishes are all on the table. Let's quickly eat.”
Uncle quickly followed suit.
Zhou Su gradually regained her calm and the three of them sat down at the table.
”Aunt, Little Snow, she …”
”Don't worry about her. Teenage children are always like this. When we finish eating, your uncle will go and bring her food.” Zhou Su was very familiar with handling this matter.
At the dining table, Li Yong found a topic to discuss.
”Little Tian, what are you planning to do this time? At your age, you should be studying for a few more years. Rest assured, as long as you are willing, uncle will pay and send you to the same school as Xiao Xue. ”
His aunt rolled her eyes at him.
”We can't let our child have a good meal, talking about all day long.”
”Aunt, Uncle is right. I'm already 22 this year, and with my normal school age, I should have graduated from university. I should have made some plans.”
Zhou Tian came up with a few sentences to discuss with his aunt. In truth, what he was planning to do was something his aunt didn't even dare to think about.
