Chapter 94 Warmth
The van drove to Daping Township. Zhou Daguang's family was a little far from Zhong Yue's family, about the east and west of the town. It would take more than an hour to walk there.
The house of the Old Zhou family has obviously been renovated, with cement tiled houses and mosaics. The small village today is no longer more than ten years ago. The ones who have a lot of money on hand have built two-story buildings. Thinking about a bungalow like Zhou Daguang family, it can only be said to be careless and do whatever it takes. Ordinary people live for a tone, and they usually have to be ashamed.
When Zhou Daguang passed by the cooked food stall, he bought half of the roast duck, "Xiao Yue, go, come into the house."
Zhong Yue nodded and walked in.
The stove was separated and on the side of the entrance, Zhou Daguang walked in with the roast duck. It happened that Mrs. Zhou was cooking with her back to her, but she didn't hear the noise coming in. When she turned around, a living person suddenly came in and was startled.
"Really, you can't make a sound when walking, you're scared to death!" Mrs. Zhou glanced at Zhou Daguang, "Where is Xiaoyue?"
Zhong Yue walked in after hearing the sound, and said with a smile: "Hello, sister-in-law. Let me help you?"
"No need, there's a lot of smoke here. You can go to the main hall with your brother Guang to sit for a while, and I can get my own work here."
Zhou Daguang gave a few instructions, saying that it was fried plate of peanuts, so he followed Zhong Yue to the main hall.
"It's really rushed. Uncle is still resting. He forgot to buy something and came here. Brother Guang, there is no small supermarket nearby, so I'll buy some."
Zhou Daguang poured a glass of water, "No need, the old man's teeth are not good. Now let's drink some porridge. Even if you buy him delicacies, bird's nest and shark fins, you have to be blessed to eat it. When he was young, he tried his best to make money. When he was old, he would give all the money to the hospital."
Zhong Yue put down his schoolbag and followed Zhou Daguang into the inner room.
Uncle Zhou's room smells like an elderly person. It seems that he is old and has such a smell on his body. There is a black and white TV playing opera. Zhou Daguang lit up the lights and saw the old man leaning against the bedside with the remote control and napping, he went over and shook.
"father."
"Hmm? Big light..."
Zhou Daguang smiled, "Dad, if you want to sleep, you will call A Xiu to help you lie down. Why did you fall asleep while sitting?"
The old man took his presbyopia eyes and smiled and said, "I'm old and useless. Hey, this is..."
"Oh, this is Ayue. I told you before. I borrow our money and give you the surgery."
"Good guy, good kid, come here, come here and sit here."
When Zhong Yue saw the old man's gray and messy hair, he couldn't help but recall his grandfather when he was young. He sat on the edge of the bed, "He came here in a hurry and didn't buy anything. I'll see you next time."
"I don't need to buy anything. Daguang, please pay it back to others when you have money."
Zhou Daguang smiled and said, "I understand, dad."
"You can eat this apple." Mr. Zhou took the apple on the bedside table and happily handed it to Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue held the wrinkled apple, "Thank you, Uncle."
Zhou Daguang, who was standing beside him, was a little amused. He was probably left for two weeks. Really, everything was stuffed into people's hands, "Dad, do you want to lie down? I'll help you."
"Oh, okay. I just called Ah Xiu, and I should be in the kitchen. I didn't hear it, so I fell asleep watching TV." The old man grabbed Zhou Daguang's lowered neck and slowly lay down with the force.
"Are you going to turn over?"
The old man who was lying on his back shook his head, "No, that's fine, you go and have a meal. I'll eat at around four o'clock."
"Hey, dad, then you can rest." Zhou Daguang turned off the lights and walked out of the inner room with Zhong Yue.
"Xiao Yue, stop holding this wrinkled apple."
Zhong Yue smiled slightly, "Brother Guang, you have a big brother, right? The old man is quite old."
Zhou Daguang nodded and said, "There are two brothers, one died in a car accident, and the other went out to work in the 1990s, and there was no news. I was the youngest in the family. At that time, the family was burdened. I was originally counted on the two brothers to support my family, but one disappeared and the other disappeared. My mother also cried and died in less than a long time. My father originally wanted to let me study, but later he couldn't afford to support me, so he sent me to the pen factory."
"Oh, that's it."
"Come on, peel some peanuts and eat them." Zhou Daguang handed over a handful of dried peanuts, "Your sister-in-law is almost done."
Zhong Yue peeled the peanuts and smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is very nice to you." Looking at Sister Zhou's loving look with him, Zhong Yue said bored.
"That's because you've never seen her get angry. Oh, woman, it's hard to serve her. But your sister-in-law is still quite a real person. I worked in the pen factory for five or six years and saved some money. In addition, the family had collected tens of thousands of yuan of land in the past few years. I wanted to build a home in the county and get married. Your sister-in-law felt sorry for the money and just live in the countryside. Then she used the money to buy a small house, borrowed some more, bought a large truck and ran around, and earned more than when she was in the pen factory."
Mrs. Zhou came over with the food and said with a smile: "What are you talking about?"
Zhou Daguang pulled out two bottles of beer from the beer box next to him and smiled and said, "I'm talking about your good things. Come, A Yue, have two drinks today. I usually have to travel long distances, but your sister-in-law doesn't let me drink. I just paid the bill today and finally I can start eating."
Mrs. Zhou glanced at me, "That's not just for you. What are you most afraid of when driving? Not allowing you to drink is to make you have a little brain." As she said that, she put the two plates on the table, turned around and went to the stove to serve the dishes.
"By the way, A Yue, what's going on with your stone tablet?"
"Before, the township, the county, and the city rushed to ask for it. Later, some experts who came out of the room said it was fake, so they were anxious to take it off, so they sent it back." Zhong Yue is not very short of money now, so it's better to take it back.
Zhou Daguang picked up a piece of roast duck and ate it, "These people are so bad, why don't you care about it at all. I heard that the stone tablet was the one you promised to send to the city?"
"Uncle Shan has bet on the welfare of all the villagers. What do you want me to do? Holding the stone tablet and fighting with these people?"
Zhou Daguang took a sip of beer and shook his head and said, "Wang Dashan... I won't say it anymore, it's better to take it back, so that others can avoid saying that you are unfilial and sorry to your ancestors."
When Zhong Yue saw Mrs. Zhou coming with the food, she got up and took it and placed it carefully on the table. "There are so many people who are gossiping, so I don't bother to pay attention. Anyway, I don't care."
"Okay, the food is all right, let's have a meal." Mrs. Zhou took off the bag, sat aside, and picked up the food for Zhong Yue with chopsticks. "Xiao Yue, eat more. When you come back, you are really a brother Guang. You called so late."
Zhong Yue took the dishes picked up by Mrs. Zhou with a bowl and said with a smile: "I also asked Brother Guang to help me, so I came here."
The three of them talked and laughed together, and had a great chat.
Zhou Daguang was full of wine and burped, and said, "By the way, Xiaoyue, you should be careful soon."
"What's wrong?"
