Chapter 235: People have many ways to live, but only one mission
After Mr. Zhou finished speaking, he went straight to the inner room. Soon after, he came out with a heavy black cloth bag.
"Bang!" The black cloth bag was placed on the table, making a crisp sound, but it seemed that there was a lot of metal inside.
Mr. Zhou trembled and opened the black package, saying, "These are all distributed to you!"
As soon as the cloth bag was opened, a jewelry lit up in the room immediately.
"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed. It turned out that the package was full of gold, silver and treasures, jade cups, jade rings, and excellent Hepu pearls. Although they were not antiques, they were definitely priceless things. There were even several checks from large banks.
"Dad, are all these for us?" Aunt Zhou Chengwu said with a breath of air. Others reacted similarly to her. Everyone thought that the so-called things left by their ancestors were just small things. Who knew they would be these priceless jewelry.
"These are all shared with you. In the Zhou family, both your sons and your married daughters have suffered a lot. In the past, I did not allow any of you to go out of this countryside, or even go a little further, because of this reason!"
Zhou Shiyu nodded and said, "The rules of the Zhou family are full of the three generations, and you will need to disperse each. Ten years later, I will choose a family to stay in this ancestral land and guard the ancestral property of the Zhou family."
When everyone heard this, their originally happy expression suddenly faded. It turned out that the money was not so easy to get, and it was equivalent to driving the travel expenses given by everyone!
"Dad, you didn't allow me to go to school back then. Could it be for this three-generation appointment?" Zhou Cheng's father asked slightly disappointed.
He had very good grades back then, and he was recognized by the Zhou family as the most likely person to be admitted to college. It was seven or eight years, and the college entrance examination had just resumed, but Zhou Shiyu made the decision alone and forced him not to take the exam. Later, even several sons had to go out to work to support the family, but he refused harshly. The two daughters were also married several miles away from home, and were not allowed to marry far away.
"No need to ask more. The three generations of covenant cannot resist, nor can I, as a father, oppose it!"
Zhou Shiyu looked at Zhou Cheng. This was the only exception in the family. Although he was only studying in a university dozens of miles away, it was an exception at all. If he hadn't seen some anomalies at that time, plus the collusion of the previous generations in his family, Zhou Cheng would have been a farmer's life. "The Zhou family has a ancestral teaching. The three generations of promise is a number less than three generations. No one is allowed to leave home, and we cannot promote our Zhou family. Even if we are a sesame official, we should not be able to become an official! We should avoid official positions, avoid wealth in the world, avoid fighting with others, learn Taoism and seek immortality, and respect religion! In short, the Zhou family cannot be famous!"
The people below could hear clearly and understood a lot of things. Finally, they knew why no matter what they did, the old man strongly opposed it. Whoever disobeyed was the only way to escape from the Zhou family!
"Dad. We don't want money. Can we stay in our hometown?"
"No! Each of your family must leave here for ten years. Ten years later, I will test the abilities of your descendants with your second uncle. Whoever wins will be the head of our Zhou family. Of course, there is no winning room. Whether it is the daughter or son of the Zhou family, you will get a considerable amount of money, which is enough for you to eat and wear for the rest of your life, and be the best for the rest of your life!"
"This..." Someone couldn't help but look envious when he heard that there was so much money, so he wanted to agree, but when he saw that the others next to him didn't move, he had to keep his head down and look at the money.
"The rules of the Zhou family cannot be the successor of the family head, and can only run away from home. I was not a parent-child of the Zhou family back then, and I was able to stay in this hometown because I promised not to marry for the rest of my life and not to pass on my descendants to stay in the Zhou family!" Grandpa Zhou Chenger spoke. Their generation had many brothers and sisters, but except for the elder brother who won the final victory, the rest went away and went from a stranger to the past.
"Dad, this..." Some people are reluctant to leave, some people want to leave but are afraid of being despised, and some people want to share more money.
"The money is given to you for the time being. Ten years later, there will be big changes. You can get the one you belong to."
"Thank you, dad!" Most of the Zhou family began to show their joy, and only a few were unhappy. Here are Zhou Cheng's family and two sisters.
"But!..." Zhou Shiyu said again: "Don't worry, you won't be able to give you a penny of money. But the Zhou family, who cannot be elected as the head of the family ten years later, will never return home! And you are not allowed to mention your origin. I will arrange for someone to forge all your archives records, so that you have no worries!"
Grandpa Zhou Chenger also spoke: "If anyone violates this ancestral teaching of the Zhou family, he will never tolerate it! The Zhou family has ten thousand ways to make the betrayer die without a place to bury him, even the descendants of the Zhou family!"
Zhou Shiyu nodded and said, "You are right. It's not just you, but the Zhou family has been like this throughout the ages. Once three generations are full, this agreement will be made. However, when you make a few Zhou family ancestral teachings that I mentioned above, it means you have given up the right to be a descendant of the Zhou family. At that time, don't blame the Zhou family for being a ruthless and ruthless!"
After saying that, a stern gaze swept across everyone, and the Zhou family felt like they fell into an ice cave, and it was so cold that it could not resist. A strange color flashed quickly in Zhou Cheng's eyes, but in an instant he returned to calm.
Everyone knelt down quickly and said tremblingly that they did not dare. They believed that if they violated their own actions, this harsh old man might really destroy his relatives for justice.
"Second brother, please help them cash out these gold, silver, jewelry and checks. Then note that as long as someone reveals everything about my Zhou family, you don't have to tell me what to do, you should know!" Zhou Shiyu may feel that he was talking too much, and he said in a tweaked his tone: "Everyone has his own way, and staying in the Zhou family may not be better than those who go far away. The Zhou family provides you with everything in your future life. You don't have to be grateful, let alone resent, because every three generations of people are like this. I was like this back then, and countless of your ancestors are like this!"
Grandpa Zhou Chenger said: "After all, the Zhou family cannot stand out and cannot cause trouble. Your opportunities have been given to you. What the family needs is the inheritance of mission. The family deserves you, and I hope you will not let the family down!"
"We understand!" Some of the people were unwilling and some were excited. After all, they could get rid of the poor and careless days from now on.
Mr. Zhou Shiyu nodded and said sadly: "Go, your second uncle will help you take care of the money. Leave home within three days! Remember to come back after the ten-year test period. The head of the family will be born among your sons or daughters, or the head of the family, or others. Anyway, you will have one of yours! There is only so much that the Zhou family can do for you!"
When everyone heard this, they had to withdraw silently and go home to prepare. Only Grandma Zhou Cheng's crying came from the inner room. This was the second time he had seen the Zhou family's separation. She could only watch for fifty years, but she could only watch today.
"Zhou Cheng, please stay!" Zhou Shiyu called out to this thoughtful grandson from behind.
"Grandpa! Is there anything wrong?"
"Well. Have you blamed grandpa? Actually, what can I do if I blame it? Everyone in the world blames me, scolds me, and blames me, so what can I do? I am still me, I am still the head of the Zhou family." Zhou Shiyu nodded and said, "I have arranged a place for you. There is a substitute teacher in the archaeology major of Sichuan University. Go there, there should be what you need and what the Zhou family needs you to do. Remember to come back ten years later!"
After saying that, he walked into the bamboo forest in the backyard as if he had become much older. Zhou Cheng vaguely heard it and sighed slightly.
Zhou Cheng left, and the next day he brought Zhou Shiyu's letter of introduction to him and went to Sichuan University. As for whether he would teach, Zhou Cheng didn't care whether he would teach. Grandpa arranged it and did it himself. Anyway, it was a trivial matter, not a murder and arson!
The next day, the Zhou family’s ancestral home!
"Are they all gone?" Zhou Shiyu looked at his second brother with a sad face in front of him, and Zhou Shicheng sucked the smoke one by one, and said.
Zhou Shicheng lowered his head for a while and said, "Everyone has left. Just like fifty years ago, they have all left, and only one family is destined to stay! Brother, have you ever met the rest of the brothers, brothers, sisters and sisters? Have you ever thought about them?"
"It's been fifty years, and it seems that they have never heard of them. In fact, as the head of the family, I still know their situation. Some people became beggars, some became rich in one fell swoop, some were prominent in one fell swoop, and some were old and old. Alas, the world is ruthless, but my Zhou family is more helpless."
"Shicheng, many things cannot be decided by you and I. The heads of the Zhou family in all dynasties will fall into this difficulty, and no one can get over it. Perhaps, Zhou Cheng's child is the only hope for the Zhou family to be liberated. Because he is different!"
"Brother, what is the real mission of the Zhou family?"
"Don't ask me, don't say that my family leader doesn't know. Even if I know, I won't say it. The ancestors have the difficulties of our ancestors, so we will do as we follow them. They told them to let Zhou Cheng go there this time."
Zhou Shicheng nodded and said, "Okay, you are at home to take care of your sister-in-law. I will go to the retreat place of the ancestors of the Zhou family in the past dynasties, and I will say that the three-generation appointment of the Zhou family has been completed!"
"I have to go with you in such a big deal. I will be back soon. Your sister-in-law is fine!"
After saying that, unexpectedly, Zhou Shiyu and Zhou Shicheng both had clouds. After a trick, they instantly soared into the air and shot into the deep mountains.
Outside the Archaeology Office of Sichuan University, Zhou Chengjing was standing for a long time. He didn't know what opportunities would bring to him this time, nor did he know what was waiting for him here, but he had to go forward and stingy.
"Who?"
