He was not a fool, so he naturally saw that it was an urn, otherwise his feet would not be so light.

"The family has gone?" he leaned forward and patted Zhou Chong's shoulder: "Everyone has already left, no matter how sad you are, you have to look forward, you still have your own way to go." ”

"It's not such a way to vent, you just met me, and I'm willing to play with you, if you meet something else, I can send you to the hospital!"

Zhou Chong stopped early, in the face of such a person, he really couldn't be ruthless, and he couldn't fight it, but this person's verbosity is also true, mother-in-law's, mother-in-law, can't stop chattering!

It was the first time he had seen such a person, his temper came and went quickly, he was on fire when he said it was hot, it was like fried hair, and he was quick to say that it was good, and he wilted and died out in an instant.

Seeing that Zhou Chong ignored him, the man simply changed the topic and asked, "You are also from Nanli?"

"Sort of. Zhou Chong frowned and said softly.

"No, you don't look like it, it's not like it's from the south, and it's not like our Jinbei. The man laughed, took a box of cigarettes out of his pocket, put it to his mouth, and lit it.

That cigarette Zhou Chong knew, with three circles of three-ring cigarettes, three yuan a pack, inferior cigarettes, the tobacco was difficult to smoke to death, and his grandfather didn't smoke it!

"If you're addicted to smoking, you're going to be fine. The man raised an eyebrow, his eyes narrowed and smiled, and the white smoke ring spat out and swirled in the air.

Zhou Chong raised his eyelids, his chin was sharpened, his facial features were sharp, and when he raised his chin, his eyebrows and eyes became more profound.

"Anything else, give me roots. ”

Zhou Chong smoked, and he has never left his cigarette since the third year of junior high school, but he smokes good cigarettes for a few hundred yuan a piece.

"Forget it. The man spat out a few puffs of smoke rings, put the cigarette on his fingertips, looked Zhou Chong up and down with narrow eyes slightly, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You and I are not all the way, I don't want people to say that I have taken other people's children badly." ”

He held a cigarette in one hand and smiled at the corner of his mouth, but the smile was a bit sarcastic, and it was just pure sarcasm, not aimed at Zhou Chong, otherwise Zhou Chong would definitely have to punch him again.

"I have to go, what about you?" After smoking a cigarette, the man pulled over a cardboard box not far away, gathered the military coat on his body, and raised his eyebrows at Zhou Chong.

"I? Three words, one sentence, but Zhou Chong was the only one who didn't choke with him.

Nanli turn.

This is Zhou Chong's hometown, although he has not been here once since he was born.

He called the Zhou family and asked them to come and pick him up. The person who came was Zhou Wenwu, his second uncle. The old man of his family has four brothers and sisters, the eldest is an older sister, the old, the second is Zhou Wenwu, the old man is the third, and the fourth is an uncle.

"Are you...... Zhou Chong?" Zhou Wenwu also saw this nephew for the first time, and from a long distance, he saw a tall man wearing a black down jacket standing at the telephone pole, holding a red package in his hand, and he knew what was in it without asking.

"Second uncle. Zhou Chong lowered his eyelids and looked at the man in front of him.

Zhou Wenwu is not tall, he is also thin, he has a Chinese face, his eyebrows are messy, only those eyes are a little similar to his father, the old man said that his second brother has not had good bones since he was a child, and his family did not eat when he was a child, and his body was malnourished.

"Your dad, this is also home. Zhou Wenwu sniffed, and his eyes were a little red: "You really look like your father when he was young! Your eyes are like him, and your nose is also like you! When your father was young, he looked outstanding in ten miles and eight villages, and so did you! Like carved out of a mold with him!"

"Let's go, go home with the second uncle. ”

Silence all the way.

Zhou Chong didn't speak, he was originally such a quiet character, and after the old man died, he didn't have the idea of opening his mouth.

The Zhou family lives in the small town of Nanliguai, not far from where Zhou Chong got off, and it only takes ten minutes to walk.

It is an old alley, there are a few places selling food at the mouth of the alley, there are small shops, small noodle restaurants, steamed bun shops, and small hair salons that look like sparrows, although they are full of organs.

"This is your family's old house, twenty or thirty years old, and it has been demolished and rebuilt before. It's been almost seventeen or eighteen years since your father last came back, and at that time, he had a quarrel with your grandparents, and when the quarrel was over, he left, and no one thought that he would leave and never come back. The tip of Zhou Wenwu's nose was still red, and his heart was still uncomfortable.

He is not a few years old with Zhou Chong's father Zhou Wenbin, and the relationship between him and his childhood is the best, he never thought that the younger brother who followed him every day would be gone and walk in front of him.

"Your grandfather still lives here, and your grandmother lives in the fourth family. I have cleaned up the house for you, and I have bought all the things to wash, you can see for yourself, what is missing, and then tell the second uncle. Zhou Wenwu took him to the alley.

Before he turned in, Zhou Chong was attracted by a touch of army green, and he was still the white-faced little flat head, but now he was different from the previous Hang'er Langdang.

At this time, he was sitting in front of the small noodle restaurant at the mouth of the alley, moved a stool and sat in front of a large basin to wash vegetables, Xu is the water is too cold, his hands are red from the cold, he is not aware of it, still follow the cabbage in the pot to compare the truth, from time to time pick out some rotten vegetable leaves and throw them on the ground aside.

"Who is that person?" Zhou Chong raised his chin and picked in the direction of the military coat.

"Who? do you mean Xie Yunsheng?" Zhou Wenwu was stunned, as if he didn't expect Zhou Chong to ask others. "The son of the owner of this noodle restaurant is not biological, and he remarried with his mother. ”

"Don't mess with this kid in the future, he doesn't study well, he repeats the college entrance examination for two years, and he only takes the junior college entrance examination when he is in his twenties. The teacher came to the door several times, and I heard that a few days ago, he had just broken the arm of a classmate and was ordered by the teacher to suspend his studies at home. Obviously, Zhou Wenwu didn't have a good impression of that person.

"Your dad said that you have good grades and are a good student, that is...... If your dad hadn't done this, you wouldn't have just scored so much...... But don't mess with this kind of person! ”

Zhou Chong didn't speak, his eyes sank, and he followed Zhou Wenwu into the alley with the urn.

He finally understood the meaning of Xie Yunsheng's previous words, was he a good student? If he was a good student, he wouldn't have scored more than 300 points in the exam!

Zhou Chong lowered his eyelids and suppressed the mania in his heart.

Xie Yunsheng?

Mother's name, how can it be worthy of such a temperament?

The Zhou family's house was heavily built, and it turned out that all the houses here were tiled houses.

Later, when the conditions were good, the tiled houses were demolished and rebuilt into today's bungalows.

Three small bungalows, the top floor is paved with cement and then surrounded by stone pillars, Zhou Chong's grandfather's house used to be this kind of house, in the summer you can spread a mat on the bungalow, sleep in the open air and look at the stars.

The Zhou family also has a small courtyard, and there is a Portuguese and grape trellis in the yard, but now it is a cold day, and there is only a bare Portuguese and grape shelf.

"Dad, I brought Zhou Chong back. Zhou Wenwu entered the house and helped an old man out.

The old man was old, with a beard, and few hairs had fallen out, and the skin on his face was wrinkled like tree bark, and his eyes were cloudy, and his waist was bent up, and his mouth was trembling.

"Is it San'er?" Tears flowed out of those cloudy eyes, and he trembled and looked at the young man standing not far away.

Big eyes, thick eyebrows, and sharp facial features like a knife.

"It's San'er, San'er is back! I'm coming back to see my father!" the old man was still crying, but he was crying with a smile, he bent his waist and moved forward, trying to see the person in front of him more clearly.

"San'er is still the same as before, it hasn't changed!Wenwu, look at your brother, is it still the same as before?" The old man looked up at Zhou Chong, and his cloudy eyes hit his face little by little.

Zhou Chong had already sensed that something was wrong, he raised his eyes, turned his head sideways, and looked at Zhou Wenwu on the side: "Second uncle, old man, this is?"

"Alzheimer's, it's been several years, and I can't recognize people. Zhou Wenwu sniffed, and the tip of his nose was red again. "I saw that everyone said it was your father, and I guess I thought you were the third. ”

Zhou Chong was silent and did not speak.

He knows the contradictions between his father and the family, eighteen years ago, Zhou Wenbin was kicked out of the house, and when he left, he didn't even wear a pair of shoes, and his feet were frozen.

As soon as he arrived in the field, he collapsed, had a high fever for a month, and almost burned his life, his mother was distressed and stayed in the hospital all day, giving his father medicine, and her frozen feet were held and covered in the quilt by her, and she was not allowed to see the cold at all, and she raised it for half a year.

What kind of deep hatred can force a biological son to death?

Zhou Chong couldn't figure it out, he didn't have a good impression of the Zhou family, he knew today, why bother in the first place?

When Zhou Wenbin was kicked out back then, why didn't he think about it now?

"Zhou Chong, didn't your father mention it to you back then, right?" Zhou Wenwu lowered his head and asked.

Zhou Chong knew what he was referring to, it was his father who was kicked out back then.

"I didn't mention it. ”

"My dad said that it was a thorn in the heart, and it couldn't be touched, because it hurt when I touched it. Zhou Chong said this sentence very calmly, but when it fell on Zhou Wenwu's ears, it was like a knife stab.

"You...... Your dad is ...... I complained. Zhou Wenwu lowered his head, looked at his toes, and felt that there were some things that he couldn't say anymore, and he was uncomfortable when he said them. "The grievances of the older generation, let's stop here, your father is gone, your grandfather is like this, people die like lights out, forget it. ”

"Your father's grave, I'll fix it for him, and I'll do it again in a few days, and it can be regarded as a fallen leaf back to the roots. Zhou Wenwu lowered his head, finished speaking, sniffed and left, his eyes were red, it can be seen that Zhou Chong's words just now stabbed him to the point.

Zhou Chong lied.

His father was a good man, how could he say something like that.
