The van drove to Daping Township, Zhou Daguang's house was a little far away from Zhong Yue's house, about one township east and one township west, and it was estimated that it would take more than an hour to walk over.

The old Zhou's house is obviously renovated, the cement tile house, with mosaics, today's small village is not more than ten years ago, there is a lot of money left, and a two-story small building has been built.

When Zhou Daguang passed by the cooked food stall, he bought half of the roast duck, "Xiaoyue, let's go, let's go into the house." ”

Zhong Yue nodded and walked in.

The stove room was sorted out separately, on the side of the door, Zhou Daguang walked in with a roast duck, just when Zhou's sister-in-law was stir-frying with her back to the vegetables, she didn't hear the movement coming in, and when she turned around, suddenly a big living person came in and was startled.

"Really, you can't walk with a little noise, it's scared to death!" Sister-in-law Zhou glanced at Zhou Daguang, "What about Xiaoyue?"

Zhong Yue walked in when he heard the sound and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is good." Shall I help you?"

"No need, there is a lot of smoke here, you and your brother Guang go to sit in the hall for a while, I can be busy here." ”

Zhou Daguang instructed two sentences, saying that it was fried peanuts, and followed Zhong Yue to the hall.

"It's really in a hurry, Abel is still recuperating, and he forgot to buy something and came over, Brother Guang, where is there a small supermarket around here, I'll buy some." ”

Zhou Daguang poured a glass of water, "No need, the old man's teeth are not good, drink some porridge now, you just buy him delicacies from the mountains and seas, bird's nest shark fin, then you have to be blessed to eat." When this person was young, he worked hard to make money, and when he was older, all the brains and money earned were handed over to the hospital. ”

Zhong Yue put down his schoolbag and followed Zhou Daguang into the back room.

Uncle Zhou's room smells of old people, and it seems that he is old and has such a smell on his body. A black-and-white television was babbling opera. Zhou Daguang lit the lamp, and when he saw the old man leaning against the bedside with the remote control and napping, he went over and shook it.

"Daddy. ”

"Huh, great light......"

Zhou Daguang smiled, "Dad, if you want to sleep, call Ah Xiu to help you lie down, why do you fall asleep while sitting?"

The old man took off his presbyopia and said with a smile: "People are old and useless." Eh, this is ......."

"Oh, this is Ah Yue, I told you before, borrow our money and give you surgery. ”

"Good man, good boy, come, come and sit with grandpa. ”

Zhong Yue saw the old man's gray and messy hair, and couldn't help but think back to his grandfather when he was young, and sat on the edge of the bed, "Come here in a hurry, I didn't buy anything, I'll see you next time." ”

"I don't need to buy anything. Daguang, if you have money, hurry up and pay it back. ”

Zhou Daguang smiled, "Got it, Dad." ”

"Take this apple and eat it. Old Man Zhou took the apple on the bedside table and handed it to Zhong Yue happily.

Zhong Yue held the somewhat wrinkled apple, "Thank you, Abel." ”

Zhou Daguang on the side was a little crying and laughing, I'm afraid it's been put away for two weeks, it's true, everything is stuffed into people's hands, "Dad, do you want to lie down? I'll help you." ”

"Oh, good. I just called Ah Xiu, I should be in the stove, I didn't hear it, I just watched the TV and fell asleep. The old man grabbed Zhou Daguang's lowered neck and slowly lay down with strength.

"Do you want to turn over?"

The old man who was lying on his back shook his head, "No, that's fine, you guys go to dinner." I ate at four o'clock. ”

"Eh, Dad, then you can rest. Zhou Daguang turned off the lights and walked out of the back room with Zhong Yue.

"Xiao Yue, don't hold this crumpled apple. ”

Zhong Yue smiled slightly, "Brother Guang, you still have a big brother above you, right? The old man is quite old, right?" ”

Zhou Daguang nodded and said: "There are two brothers, one died in a car accident, one went out to work in more than nine years, and there was no news, I was the youngest in the family, at that time the family had a heavy burden, and I was counting on the two brothers to support the family, but one disappeared, the other was gone, my mother also cried blind, and died in a few days, my father originally wanted to let me study, but then I couldn't afford to support it, so he sent me to the pen factory." ”

"Oh, that's right. ”

"Here, 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 peanuts and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is very good to you." Looking at Sister-in-law Zhou's affectionate appearance with him, Zhong Yue said boredly.

"That's when you haven't seen her go crazy, eh, woman, it's hard to wait. But your sister-in-law is still quite a real person, originally I worked in the pen factory for five or six years, saved some money, plus tens of thousands of yuan of land expropriated by the family in the past few years, I want to settle down in the county, and get married, your sister-in-law is distressed about the money, just live in the countryside, and then use the money to buy a small house, and borrow a little, buy a big truck to run the goods, and earn more than when the pen factory was in charge. ”

Sister-in-law Zhou came over with the dishes and said with a smile: "What are you talking about?" ”

Zhou Daguang took out two bottles of beer from the beer box on the side and said with a smile: "I'm talking about your good, come, Ah Yue, have two drinks today." I usually have to run long distances, and your sister-in-law won't let me drink, but I just paid for it today, and I can finally open the meat. ”

Sister-in-law Zhou glanced at her, "That's not for your sake, what are you most afraid of driving? Don't let you drink, it's to let you grow your brain." As he spoke, he put the two plates on the table, turned around and went to the stove to serve the food again.

"By the way, Ah Yue, what's the matter with your stone stele?"

"Before, the township, county, and city rushed to ask for it, but then some experts who came out of nowhere said it was fake, so they were in a hurry to get rid of it, so they sent it back. "Zhong Yue is not very short of money now, and it is good to take it back.

Zhou Daguang sandwiched a piece of roast duck and ate it, "These people are too bad things, why don't you care about it at all." I heard that the stone tablet was sent to the city by you in the first place, right?"

"Uncle Shan has bet on the welfare of the whole village, what do you want me to do?

Zhou Daguang took a sip of beer, shook his head and said, "Wang Dashan...... Don't say it, it's good to take it back, so that others don't say that you are not filial and sorry for your ancestors. ”

Zhong Yue saw Sister-in-law Zhou coming over with the dishes, so he got up and took it and carefully placed it on the table, "There are so many people who chew the root of the tongue, I don't bother to pay attention, anyway, I don't care." ”

"Alright, the dishes are ready, let's eat. Sister-in-law Zhou took off the hanging bag, sat aside, and took the chopsticks to pick up vegetables for Zhong Yue, "Xiaoyue, eat more, as soon as you come back, your brother Guang is really calling, so late." ”

Zhong Yue took the dish from Sister-in-law Zhou with a bowl, and said with a smile: "I also asked Brother Guang for a favor, so I stopped by." ”

The three of them talked and laughed together, chatting happily.

Zhou Daguang was full of wine and food, burped, and said, "By the way, Xiaoyue, you can be careful recently." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Pan Wei, that bastard, is letting out his mouth in the county, and he wants to get you. ”
