Zhao Hedi shook her head. "No, I'm relieved after this trip today. I won't come out. Let's just live like this!"
Zhou Xiang understood what she meant. She felt relieved that her eldest uncle and his men couldn't find her second cousin.
Zhou didn't want to force her. Her generation still had feudal ideas. Once married, they would not divorce. If the husband was unreliable, they would rely on their sons.
This is what I think when I am alive, but what about after I die? It would be best if I could be buried in the village’s ancestral tomb, so that I can enjoy the incense of future generations.
"Okay! Don't come out."
Then I can only think of other ways.
Seeing that Zhou Xiang was only taking care of her aunt-in-law and ignoring himself and his two sons, Zhou Yiwen walked straight in.
"We haven't had breakfast yet."
"Is it related to me?"
Seeing that he was about to snatch the eggs from the aunt's hand, she immediately slapped his hand away.
"That's mine. I can give it to whoever I want. Don't worry about it, Auntie. Just eat it!"
Zhao Hedi knew that Zhou Yiwen didn't dare to argue with the people from the fourth branch. He dared to come here this time because he heard that all the people here were young.
Slowly eat the egg in your hand, which smells so delicious.
After eating it, I felt warm all over and the pain in my body became lighter.
His eyes flashed and he lowered his head to drink porridge.
After she was full, Zhou Yiwen ate all the remaining steamed buns on the table and the porridge in the pot.
Zhou Xiang felt it was unbearable to watch his uncle become more and more irresponsible.
He held down Zhao Hedi who was about to wash the dishes and said, "I'll do it. You sit down and rest for a while."
In the office of the first grade of No. 1 Middle School, Ran Qiming was told by Zhou Hua that something happened at home. Zhou wanted to ask for leave, but felt powerless.
However, when he saw his name on the performance program, Ran Qiming felt relieved. It was not that I didn't ask you, but you took a leave of absence, and the school urged each class to submit their program schedules.
Zhou Xiang put on his backpack, locked the door, and said to the three men in the yard, "I'm going to the market town with my aunt. You guys go first."
Zhou Yiwen immediately said, "We'll go with you."
"What for? Free tickets? You have money for alcohol but no money for tickets? Then how did you get here?"
"I……."
"He stole the money you gave me." Zhao Hedi said from the side.
Zhou Xiang stretched out his hand and said, "Then give me back the remaining money."
"No more. I've already paid for the drinks. The last dollar or so I had was used for the bus ride today."
"Haha, you're quite confident. I don't care, just walk back on your own."
As he said this, he pushed everyone out of the yard, took the hand of his aunt-in-law, and walked out of the courtyard.
Wei Juan's mother peeked over here, and when she saw that they didn't continue to make a fuss, she curled her lips.
Zhou Xiang glanced at her sideways and said, "Haha, I hope you can bear the return gift I give you for the rest of your life!"
He locked the gate and took his aunt-in-law out of the Water Conservancy Bureau compound.
Zhou Yiwen and his son followed behind. Zhou wanted to stop the donkey cart, so they got on it too.
Seeing that the little girl didn't say anything, the donkey cart driver didn't chase her away.
At the bus station ticket office, Zhou Xiang only wanted to buy tickets for two people. Zhou Yiwen shamelessly said, "Xiang Xiang, buy tickets for the three of us! Go back and ask your great-grandfather to reimburse you."
Zhou Xiang couldn't help but worry about his great-grandfather's blood pressure, as his fifty-year-old son still had to rely on him.
I could only buy three more tickets from Xuzhen.
"Why did you buy it in the market town?"
"Didn't you say you would come with me? I'll go to the market town first."
"Okay! Whatever you say."
Zhou Yong and Zhou Yue clutched their stomachs, "Dad, we're so hungry. Do you have any money left? Buy us two steamed buns!"
Zhou Yiwen shook his head, "No more."
Zhou Xiang felt that this was what it meant when someone was pitiful that there must be something hateful about him.
Throwing fifty cents to my eldest cousin, I said, "Here, I'll go ask my great grandfather for it together."
"good!"
Zhou Yong happily took his third brother to the nearby snack stand to buy steamed buns.
Zhou Xiang shook his head, this one was crooked.
Zhou Quan was surprised to see his eldest cousin. "Why is he here? Dayong and Sanyue are here too?"
"Dad, your eldest cousin is making trouble at my place. I need to go back to Zhoujia Village."
Zhou Quan then noticed his eldest cousin's wife beside his little girl. "She's here too? What happened? How dare you, eldest cousin, mess with the younger generation? Feel your face, is it still there?"
Zhou Yiwen's face flushed, "Brother Quan, I, I am so angry that I am confused."
"An excuse." Zhou Quan didn't believe it.
"That's why, Dad, I have to go back and see who is behind this."
"I'll go back with you. I want to see who is so insidious as to let the elders harass the younger ones."
"Quandi, there really wasn't anyone instigating this. I just wanted to ask Erchao for some money."
"Erchao? What's wrong with Erchao?"
"Dad! He heard from others that my yard was full of men, and he must have my second cousin there, so he dragged my eldest cousin's wife to look for me. Everyone in the Water Conservancy Bureau followed him to watch a free show."
Zhou Quan slammed the table in anger, "Who said that? Is that what a human being would say? What do you mean by only men coming in and out? There are no men in your family? Are all your relatives women?"
"Brother Quan, I didn't say that. Someone told me that."
"who?"
"I don't know him. He's from another village."
"Humph! You can trust someone you don't even know. You're ridiculous. Let's go back together."
Zhou Xiang said to Zhou Niao who had come running back, "Brother, I'm going back to my hometown. Are you coming?"
Zhou Niao shook his head, "No, I still have classes tomorrow!"
"Then I'll be back as soon as possible."
"Okay, come back when you're done."
"Yeah! Go play!"
"I'll go after you leave."
"good!"
Zhou Quan went into the house to pack his things, looked at the two trophies, hesitated for a moment, and put the two certificates of honor away.
Zhou Xiang didn't see Zhu Hang, so he told his second sister, and Zhou Yu nodded. "Okay, we will take good care of the family."
A group of six people arrived at the provincial road. There were very few cars going west. There was only one trip from the county town in the morning and afternoon. At other times, they could only wait for passing cars on the provincial road.
Zhou wanted to talk to the private tricycle driver, "Master, please go to Zhoujia Village! We'll hire a car for six people."
"Zhoujia Village is too remote and the road is difficult to walk on. I won't go there."
"Five dollars."
The driver's eyes lit up and then he hesitated.
"not enough?"
"I'm worried that the road might damage my car, and it won't even cover the cost of repairs!"
"Eight dollars! Is that enough?"
"That's enough, get in the car and go."
Zhou Quan got into the car calmly, as his little girl loved to spend money to get things done.
Zhou Yiwen and his two sons were stunned by this operation.
Zhou Xiang helped his aunt get into the car and sat in the innermost seat, closer to the driver and with less bumps.
Zhou Yong came to his senses and pulled his father, and then the three of them got into the car.
After passing Liu Town, the road began to bumpy. When he reached the intersection of Zhoujia Village, Zhou Xiang felt like his bones were broken.
Zhou Yiwen urged the driver to drive to the village, saying that he was coming back in a special car and must let the villagers know.
Zhou wanted to ignore him. "Do you have the qualifications to show off?" He paid the fare, took the hand of his aunt, and walked towards the village.
