It was Zhou Xiang's turn. While she was burning, she kept talking about her achievements in the past few years. Of course, they were all superficial things that could be said. Grandpa liked to hear them.
Then Zhou Wang and Zhou Mei also burned up. Zhou Wang talked for a long time. He was enlightened by his great-great-grandfather and they had deep feelings for him.
Only after all the sparks were extinguished did Zhou Yidong pack up the offerings and prepare to leave.
Zhou Quan said he wanted to visit Grandpa Zhou's grave. Zhou Xiang was reluctant to go, so Zhou Quan didn't force him. He just gave Zhou Wang some money and asked him to go to the agency store to buy paper money for him.
Zhou Wang took the money and ran quickly to the village. Zhou Yidong planned to accompany his cousin to visit his fourth uncle's grave, and Zhou Mei accompanied Zhou Xiang back.
On the way, Ye Xiu stopped him and Zhou Xiang signaled Zhou Mei to go back to the village first. Zhou Mei kept looking back as she walked.
Seeing Ye Xiu was silent, Zhou Xiang frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. My time is precious."
Ye Xiu looked at her little niece. She had changed. Not only had she become prettier, but her temperament had also changed. She didn't look like someone from a small county like Huai County at all. Only her bad temper hadn't changed at all.
"Where are your grandfather's things?"
Zhou Xiang chuckled. Seeing her intercept her, he could guess that it was because of this matter.
"I've never seen anything like this before, and you keep asking me questions for no apparent reason. Am I easy to frame? If you have evidence, you can call the police or ask Second Grandpa to help you. Don't just talk nonsense. Be careful what you say."
Ye Xiu was choked. Even if she had evidence, she couldn't call the police! Asking the clan leader for help? Even more impossible!
"Take it out and we'll split it in half. If you call the police, you'll only get one-third."
"Auntie, are you stupid or am I? Go call the police! I was hoping you could get one-third of my stuff back for me."
"Zhou Xiang, don't push me. If you make me angry, I'll expose everything you asked me to do!"
"What did I arrange for you to do? Where's the evidence? You are my elder, an elder I don't interact with often. How can I control you?
That man is your nephew. Didn't you see your sister having a hard time? And when you heard that Zhou Chao didn't want to be a son-in-law of a city girl, did you take the initiative to give your sister some advice?
Auntie, do you think everyone is like you, with no way out when doing things?
Sometimes, no matter how good her life is, she can be ruined by just one trick. Men are always unfaithful, right? This trick works every time on anyone and is guaranteed to break up the family.
"You, you, are a devil!" Ye Xiu was angry and scared.
Zhou Xiang sneered and approached her step by step, "I don't want to do that either. I want to become a Buddha, but you force me to become a demon."
Ye Xiu couldn't help but step back. She felt that the beautiful girl in front of her was too scary. She turned around and ran away quickly.
Zhou Xiang shook his head, thinking that he had no fighting spirit.
Walking slowly towards the village, Zhou Mei was waiting anxiously by the lake.
Seeing Zhou Xiang, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Fifth Aunt, are you okay?"
"Are you okay? What's wrong?"
"Grandma Jiu is a little bit weird, we are all a little afraid of her."
"Oh! Stay away from her from now on. I'm not afraid of her, don't worry."
The two returned to their second grandfather's house and met Zhou Yue pacing back and forth at the door of his house.
When Zhou Yue saw Zhou Xiang, he was stunned for a moment, then slowly walked towards her, "Xiang Xiang, cousin."
The person in front of me is already a standard farmer. He is not impetuous or vicious. He exudes a steady and down-to-earth aura. Only in the prison cell can people be reformed!
"What? Are you planning to kill me?"
Zhou Yue said embarrassedly, "I didn't know shit back then. I was completely clueless. Don't take it to heart."
"So, you're waiting for me?"
Zhou Yue nodded. "I want to ask you, are my mother and my second brother okay? Please say sorry to my second brother for me. I'm such a jerk."
Seeing his eyes were red, Zhou Xiang nodded, "I will bring it to you. As for whether you forgive me or not, I don't know."
"It doesn't matter. I'm not begging. I just want to say sorry."
"Okay! Are you okay?"
Zhou Yue moved aside and said, "It's okay."
Only after seeing Zhou Xiang and Zhou Mei enter the yard did Zhou Yue turn around and leave.
Zhou Mei looked at Zhou Xiang, hesitant to speak, and Zhou Xiang said, "Just say it."
"Few people in the village want to pay attention to Uncle Yue. He doesn't even participate in the village's major plans. Uncle Yong also ignores him. He just farms his two acres of land. My mother said that he has no parents and even his grandfather is gone. With no one to take care of him, he may be a bachelor for the rest of his life."
Zhou Xiang frowned. Is this discrimination again?
When she asked about her third uncle, he told her, "He himself didn't want to participate. Actually, I know he didn't have any partners. The villagers didn't discriminate against him, but they were a little afraid of him. After all, his behavior of imprisoning his own brother was too horrific."
Since this is the case, Zhou Xiang has no choice. It is better for someone like him to stay in the village and live a peaceful life. There are many temptations outside.
But he cannot be left behind in the development of the village!
"Third uncle, please calculate it for him. When he has saved enough, let him plant a greenhouse by himself. Don't leave anyone behind."
Zhou Yidong nodded, "Okay, I'll remember that."
After lunch, the father and daughter left, brought with them corn cobs and early peanuts on the tractor.
Zhou Gang still unloaded his things and was about to leave.
Zhou thought Jiang Weihua was very interested in the tractor, so he encouraged him to try it out.
Zhou Gang brought the tractor to the front yard before letting him stand in the carriage.
As soon as they arrived at the gate, Jiang Weihua signaled him to stop. As soon as the tractor stopped, he immediately jumped out of the car and touched his stomach. Fortunately, his internal organs were still in their original positions.
Zhou Xiang continued to encourage, "Why don't you learn how to drive it? It's fun to drive."
He also asked Zhou Gang to turn the front of the train to show him. He saw that when the train was turned, people had to stand on the ground, and the front of the train and the carriage were even twisted into a 90-degree direction.
He waved his hands repeatedly, "No, I can't do this. I'm afraid the tractor head will hit the wall."
"Okay! If you don't want to play, then let Brother Gang go back."
Jiang Weihua wouldn't be fooled! "No, it's not fun."
Hearing that the young master was not going to play anymore, Zhou Gang breathed a sigh of relief, turned the tractor head in the right direction, waved to Zhou Xiang, and drove away.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiang pursed her lips tightly, for she was afraid that she would laugh.
Jiang Weihua waved his hand, "Let's go! Let's go back and cook that corn. Didn't you say it tastes better cooked directly?"
The two sat in front of a small pile of corn cobs, and Zhou wanted to teach him how to peel the corn.
Jiang Weihua learned seriously, but just after peeling a few, he started scratching the back of his hand.
Zhou wanted to stop him, "Stop scratching! Let's go to the kitchen."
She dragged him into the kitchen, asked him to wash his hands, and scooped a spoonful of fine salt on his hands, "Rub it, rub all the itchy places."
Then, light the liquefied gas stove and "roast it over the fire, rubbing it while roasting."
Jiang Weihua did whatever Zhou Xiang said. After rubbing it a few times, Jiang Weihua said it didn't itch anymore. Zhou Xiang asked him to continue roasting it for a while. If he was too impatient, it would itch again if he left the fire.
