Liang Jing searched the kitchen for a long time, but she could only find ingredients like noodles and eggs. In desperation, she could only cook some plain porridge for Zhou Zimo.

Just as she put the rice into the pot, the man at home called. Liang Jing quickly picked up

“Hello? Old Zhou? I’m not going back today. I’m at our son’s place, Huh? Yes, he’s at home, but he has a high fever. He hasn’t eaten anything at the moment and I’m cooking some plain porridge for him. There aren’t any ingredients left. How can the supermarket still open at this hour? You should sleep first. There’s no need to wait for me... are you going to leave in the morning? When will you be back? Didn’t the military exercise just take place in May? Why are there so many things happening in your military district? Alright, come over then. See if there’s anything else in the fridge at home. Pick some light dishes and bring them over.”

After the couple talked for a while, Liang Jing hung up. The child’s father was about to leave City Z and was about to go out for some military exercise. It would probably take some time for him to come back. Before he left, he had to come over to see his son no matter what.

About half an hour later, Liang Jing finally finished cooking the porridge. She filled a big bowl, poured a cup of warm water, and walked to the sofa in the living room.

Zhou Zimo was also in a daze. Liang Jing put the porridge on the table at the side and reached out to take the towel from Zhou Zimo’s forehead. She washed the towel and handed it to him, “Zimo, get up. The porridge is ready, have some. You’re all sweaty. Eat something hot and sweaty. Don’t be in a hurry to take a shower. Have a good sleep. Get up!”

As she said that, she reached out to pull the thin blanket on his body.

Zhou Zimo finally got up in a daze. He took the towel and wiped his face and hands. His handsome and elegant face still had some morbid redness. He sat leisurely and looked at the bowl of porridge in front of him. After a long time, he reached out to pick it up.

“Tell mother where you’ve been these days. Why can’t I get through to your phone? Are you hiding from us?” Liang Jing’s astute gaze swept across Zhou Zimo’s face as she spoke.

Zhou Zimo swallowed the food in his mouth without quite tasting it. Without even looking at Liang Jing, he replied, “Mother, what are you thinking? I was just out on vacation. I wandered around by myself and then wandered around the neighborhood.”

“How can a vacation make you so thin?”

Liang Jing clearly did not believe him. Just as she was about to continue speaking, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside. The footsteps were steady and sonorous. The mother and son both subconsciously turned their heads to look at the door. As expected, they saw a flash of tall and straight military green that caught their eyes.

That’s right, the person who came was Zhou Zimo’s father, a well-known figure in the military, Zhou Zhenjun!

Even to name his son, Old Master Zhou had given him such an inspring one, he was indeed worthy of being a revolutionary of the older generation.

Father Zhou had always disliked such a vulgar name. When he was young, he often thought of changing this name. Hence, he did come up with another name and was beaten up by the Old Master at home, he immediately changed back to a vulgar name like ‘Zhou Zhenjun’. In the end he got used to it.

Zhou Zhenjun actually looked quite similar to Zhou Zimo, but Zhou Zhenjun looked taller and more powerful. He also had the profound look that came with time, and he looked like a reserved and steady person. Perhaps it was because he had been busy recently, he was tanned now though he still very handsome.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wearing a neat set of summer clothes on his body, he also gave off an imposing aura.

At the moment, he was holding a thermos flask in his hand. He walked over in a few big strides and placed the hat in his hand on the table at the side.

“Father? Why are you here too?”

Zhou Zimo looked a little stupefied at his father who had suddenly appeared in front of him and asked in a daze.

Zhou Zhenjun passed the thermos flask in his hand to Liang Jing and glanced at Zhou Zimo. “If I didn’t come, would you go back? Look at you! I’m so angry!” Zhou Zhenjun said in a disappointed tone and sat down across from Zhou Zimo.

Zhou Zimo cleared his throat and lowered his head, pretending not to hear him. He continued to eat his porridge. Liang Jing, on the other hand, opened the thermos flask swiftly and took out a few light dishes that were still slightly warm.

“Alright, eat your fill first. You’ve tormented yourself to such a state. You should find someone to take good care of you. You’re already in your thirties. If I were talk about you when I’m out with others, I wouldn’t even dare tell them your age, you know that? Look at Ah Chen, he’s your age, he’s already the father of several children. Now look at you, you’re really a good-for-nothing!” Liang Jing said with a frown.

Zhou Zimo listened and paused for a moment. He quickly picked up his chopsticks, picked up the food, and ate silently without making a sound.

“I agree with your mother, I feel the same! It’s time for you to find a wife. I’ve said this so many times, even if you don’t find it tiring, I’m tired of saying it myself. Your grandfather is extremely anxious. You, Zhou Zimo, one, are not ugly and quite handsome too. Two, you’re not a playboy. Three, it’s not like you can’t get a girlfriend. You pretend to be all cool, well if you really are so cool, why don’t you find a daughter-in-law for your mother and me? To put it bluntly, you have high standards! All these years, I think there were a few of the women by your side who were pretty good!”

“That’s right! Let’s not talk about anyone else, just Zhang Yue, you remember her right? That girl who used to chase you guys around, I think she’s pretty good. She’s lively and cheerful, the young lady looks quite pleasant, and she’s also very considerate and knows how to take care of others. She’s always liked to stick to you, she’s perfect for you!”

“Perfect my ass!”

After Liang Jing said this, Father Zhou didn’t wait for Zhou Zimo to respond before he directly exploded, “That young lady is more like a granddaughter for us! Look at Su Zhengxun’s wife, Jiajia, right? He’s had to endure a lot. Zimo, don’t look for a woman who’s like a daughter. Sooner or later, you’ll be annoyed to no end. If you want to look for someone, get someone like Tang Chuan’s wife, Ah Rong, Ah Rong’s virtuous wife.”

“Ah Rong? A great wife, isn’t she? Why do I hear some insinuations from your words? Are you trying to say that I’m not some virtuous wife?”

Liang Jing immediately caught onto Zhou Zhenjun’s words and gave him a cold look with some dissatisfaction.

“I’m just using it as a metaphor now. You can’t use us as an example for our son, you can order me around. With Zimo’s character, do you think a woman could order him around. He’ll have to find a powerful woman to control him no matter what.”

Zhou Zhenjun immediately explained as he looked at Zhou Zimo, “These standards can be changed, but you have to find a beautiful, good-looking, and unsophisticated one. You’ll understand when you’re older!”
