Mao Chengjun and Mao Chengyan are both well-behaved and obedient children, and they both love painting. Teacher Mao likes them very much.
"Congratulations, Teacher Mao."
"You're welcome, get out! I still have to go out and pretend, don't I?"
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Teacher Mao." It is indeed hard work to ask a person with an upright character to deceive everyone.
Teacher Mao laughed and said, "It's not that hard. I just feel sad when I think about not being able to see my apprentice in the future."
Zhou Xiang helped Teacher Mao out of the study again. Lu Jing, who followed behind them, felt her heart in turmoil. She had not intended to eavesdrop, but she could not help but worry. She was afraid that the disappearance that happened more than ten years ago would happen again, and she was afraid that her sister-in-law would have to bear it all by herself again.
Who knew she would hear such an explosive secret? Her sister-in-law really dares to do anything. It seems that Zhou Yan was involved in the disappearance. Otherwise, no matter who helped, there would be clues left behind.
Zhou thought: "..." You think too much. There is an invisibility cloak, and there is no spider silk. Yan'er took action just to make it more real and safer.
Jiang Weihua found out a little late. He was at home with his family, old, middle-aged and young, enjoying the most sincere family love in the world, but he was awakened by the news his son Jiang Yi received from the family group.
He hurriedly brought his niece to Zhou's house and was shocked by his niece's calmness. "Is Niao Niao okay?"
"I don't know. He's just missing at the moment. Ling Ran has already taken people there."
Zhou wanted to tell himself that he had no regrets. The bigger the noise at this moment, the better, as it would shock others.
Jiang Weihua was not comforted. "Do you want me to find someone to help?"
"Who are you looking for? Lao Jiang's people have already been exhausted, and yours are in the real estate company. Oh, and do you want to sell off the real estate in Hangzhou? Hangzhou's real estate market has probably reached its peak."
Why did it get to Hangzhou? Isn't finding Zhou Niao the most important thing now? "Let's talk about it later!"
"It's up to you. Jiang Yi is already 21 and will graduate from college next year. You can give him some practice."
"Let's talk about Zhou Niao." Jiang Weihua was not happy with his little niece who always changed the subject.
"What? Ling Ran is still on the way, and I haven't received any phone notifications. What should I say?"
Uh, that seems to make sense.
Jiang Weihua simply went to accompany his eldest sister. "By the way, how about mother?"
"I didn't tell her. I already said I was just missing. Why would I tell her? It would make her anxious."
Okay! That made perfect sense. Jiang Weihua decided to go with his elder sister, and A-Lian was dragged along by her son to accompany her.
Zhou Xiang secretly wiped his sweat.
All the people who were close to Zhou Xiang came to comfort him and ask for his news. Zhou Xiang felt like his head was getting bigger.
Especially when my eldest and youngest sons called to ask for leave, I managed to suppress them with great difficulty, and then they called again in good health to say they wanted to come back.
Zhou Xiang regretted it. She should have gone to search and left Ling Ran to guard. "Why did you come back? I told you she's missing, missing. Don't you understand? You've brought your family back with you, so who will take care of you? The house is overcrowded, my head is spinning, and you're adding to the chaos. If you have the guts, go find your uncle and join the extremely dangerous search. Don't bother me. I've explained missing a thousand times today."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiang waved to her daughter. When Ling Xiaotong came over, she handed the phone to her daughter and said, "I'll give it to you. Your mother has a headache and can't stand too much care."
Ling Xiaotong gritted her teeth to prevent herself from grinning out loud. "Okay, if there's another call, I'll explain. These people are really something. How can this be considered caring? This is simply harassment."
"Yes! It's harassment. I, your mother, will go and be sad. Look at your aunt and your grandmother. They've been acting sad all day. Others go to comfort them, but they all come to harass me. I'm so tired, so I'll go and act sad too."
"Puchi" Ling Xiaotong couldn't help but burst out laughing. After laughing, she quickly held it back. Did her mother dig a hole for her?
It was not until dark, when the comforters left Zhou's house and the harassing phone calls stopped, that Zhou Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. That day, his head had been buzzing from hearing too many words.
At night, Zhou Yan finally came back. He hid his body and used illusion to escape the eyes and ears of Lu Jing and Lu Ying. It was so difficult for him.
Zhou Xiang, who was sitting in the living room pretending to be sad, felt his phone vibrate. He opened it and took a look, then deleted the message immediately and returned to his room. "Yan'er?"
Zhou Yan poked his head out, and Zhou Xiang pulled him into the space and vented his bitterness of the day. "My ears are still buzzing. It's horrible. When Ling Ran and I disappeared, did you also experience the same thing?"
"What do you think?" Zhou Niao and Zhou Yan, whose son was taking off his invisibility cloak, asked at the same time.
"Alas! Am I digging a hole and burying myself?" Zhou Xiang sighed. It was all his own fault! "Yan'er, do you want to go see your mother?"
"No," Zhou Yan shook his head. "My dad's surprise is so romantic, and I'm too bright."
Then he handed his father's invisibility cloak to his aunt, "Aunt, I want to keep mine."
"Good! Save it for when you become a thief."
Zhou Yan glanced at his aunt sideways. Such a good thing, is it only used as a thief? It can also be a good companion for murder and arson, okay?
Zhou Niao patted his sister's head and said, "Don't complain. This is all your plan. Just keep acting well. I can't help you."
"My dad patted me, and you patted me too." Zhou Xiang muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Did you tell Dad?"
"I told him I helped you because you wanted to live in seclusion, and he filmed me."
"It's time!" Zhou Niao chuckled, "Okay, I'll leave the outside matters to you, sister."
Then, he looked at his son, who had grown into a man of great stature, and said, "Yan'er, Dad has done nothing well in his life. As a son, as a father, and as a brother, I have failed miserably. In these last years, I just want to be with your mother and make up for my failures as a husband. As for the relatives outside, it's up to you, Yan'er, to make up for it."
"Okay!" Zhou Yan nodded. "Dad, don't worry, stay with Mom. She's working very hard."
"Yes!" Zhou Niao looked at Zhou Xiang expectantly, "Sister, I want a horse. I want to ride with her here and spend the rest of my life."
"Okay! I'll be busy for a while."
Watching his elder brother go to the Xiange on the grassland without hesitation, Zhou Xiang sighed deeply and pulled his nephew out of the space.
Zhou Yan put on the invisibility cloak and left Zhou's house. He had to go back to perform. His aunt's plan made everyone upset and cost a lot of money.
Putting the eldest brother into the space means half of the plan is successful. As long as the eldest brother cannot be found outside, everything will be easy.
The next day, people came from Zhoujia Village. After the third grandfather and fifth uncle passed away one after another, the third cousin did not inherit the position of patriarch. The patriarch gave it to his eldest son Zhou Jiang. Zhou Wang was the leader of his generation. Each generation was assigned a leader to manage the affairs separately, and then gather at the patriarch's place.
This arrangement is highly praised by the younger generations. They will not be forced to accept unfair treatment due to the suppression of their generation. All matters are handed over to the leader, who will then argue and give them reasonable and fair solutions.
