Zeng Xiangying was not happy, and complained to Zhou Yuanshan: "Yuanshan, your son just came back, why did you start teaching him a lesson?" Don't be considerate, let him rest and rest. ”

Without waiting for Zhou Yuanshan to explain, Zhou Xiaochuan took the lead and said with a smile: "Mom, Dad didn't teach me a lesson, he was teaching me how to behave in a way." ”

If he was Zhou Xiaochuan before, he would never be able to say such a thing, so Zhou Yuanshan was slightly stunned and smiled with relief: "Xiaochuan is really sensible." ”

"That's it, I don't care what you two father and son are talking about, I'll cook and cook something delicious......" Zeng Xiangying hadn't finished speaking, and those people in Hongdou Village who heard that Zhou Xiaochuan was back came one after another, and they all came to see him. Among these people, the older ones are mostly elders who watched Zhou Xiaochuan grow up; The younger ones are the same peers who play with Zhou Xiaochuan's bare buttocks. For Zhou Xiaochuan, they also have feelings, just like their juniors and brothers.

The first to walk into the house was the old village chief of Hongdou Village, who handed over the two bottles of wine he brought to Zhou Wenting, and instructed without any indifference: "Lady Ting, put these two bottles of wine away, and when I have lunch later, I want to have a few drinks with Yuanshan and Xiaochuan!" Then, his eyes fell on the table full of gifts, and he was immediately stunned, and it took several seconds before he came back to his senses and asked in surprise, "I said, what are you doing here?" Could it be that he is planning to open a shop in the village to do business? ”

"These are all gifts that my brother brought back to us." Zhou Wenting replied with a smile, her tone quite proud.

The village chief became more and more surprised: "Yo, what's the matter, Xiaochuan, have you made a fortune?" With so many things, at least tens of thousands of dollars have to be paid, right? ”

"Whether you get rich or not, you have to honor your parents and sisters, don't you?" After Zhou Xiaochuan replied with a smile, he took out a stack of 100 yuan bills from his wallet and handed them to Zeng Xiangying: "Mom, this money is for you, please go and clean up a dam feast, and invite the people in our village to come and be lively." Isn't this the end of the Chinese New Year? Let's treat our family to a New Year's dinner! ”

"Isn't it just a dam feast? I don't want that much money. Zeng Xiangying looked at the stack of hundred-yuan bills in her hand and was a little stunned, it was the first time she had seen so much money.

In the mountain village, the daughters-in-law of each family will spontaneously come to help, and the tables, chairs, benches, chopsticks and other things are also taken by each family, neither need to hire a chef, nor need to rent utensils, only the ingredients need to spend some money. And this ingredient is also purchased from each household first. In this mountain village, there may be no other things, but there are a lot of seasonal vegetables and fruits. Among the ingredients, only meat may not be easy to make. If each family doesn't have much meat, they usually go to the village store to buy it first, and if there are not enough shops in the village, they will rush to Hongluo Town to buy it. So after careful calculation, Zhang Luo really didn't spend much money to renovate a dam feast.

Zhou Yuanshan spoke at this time: "Since your son has given it to you, then you can take it, go buy more wine and meat, weigh a few catties of candy, and if there is any leftover, it will not be too late to return it to your son." ”

Zhou Xiaochuan originally wanted to say that he didn't have to return it to him, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was better not to say it for the time being.

Soon, Zhou Xiaochuan returned to Hongdou Village and wanted to hold a dam feast to invite the villagers to a reunion dinner, which spread throughout Hongdou Village. The daughters-in-law and daughters of each family came to help, and soon pulled up the hall, and they were very busy. Zhou Xiaochuan, on the other hand, sat in the house with his father and the village chief to chat, and greeted some elders and peers who came to see him from time to time.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early before the time to start the meal, Zhou Xiaochuan told him the purpose of going home for the New Year: "Dad, I want to take you and my mother to live in the city after the New Year." I now have some money in hand, and it is not a problem to buy a house in the city. You two elders have worked hard for most of your lives, and you should go to the city with me to enjoy the blessings and live a good life......"

"No, no." Zhou Yuanshan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then waved his hand and refused: "Your mother and I are both idle and hard-working, and we are also used to life in this mountain. So, it's better for me and your mother to stay in this mountain. I just hope that you can take more time to come back and see us without affecting your work! ”

Such a result was something Zhou Xiaochuan did not expect. Unwilling to give up just like that, he began to try his best to persuade his father. However, his father's stubbornness and persistence made him feel helpless. In the end, he simply sent a fellow villager who was playing in the house, and went outside to invite his mother in, hoping that his mother would persuade him. However, Zeng Xiangying is worthy of being Zhou Yuanshan's wife, and she is really a husband and wife, instead of helping to persuade her, she also echoed: "Son, what your father said is right, the two of us are a hard life, if you want us to enjoy happiness, you have to suffocate us out of illness!" Besides, the neighbors in this village are good friends for decades, and we want to find someone to talk to and play mahjong, and we can also have company. I've heard that even if there are two pairs of doors living in this city, you don't necessarily know each other. We are not used to and can't stand the kind of life that neighbors don't get along with. So, it's better for us to live in a mountain village. Oh, by the way, if you have the time to think about the two of us, you might as well think more about yourself. You're in your twenties, and look at the village, many of you are fathers. You also have to speed up the pace and work harder, so that your father and I can hold our grandson as soon as possible......"

Seeing that his mother not only helped persuade his father, but also tilted the topic directly on himself, Zhou Xiaochuan didn't know what to say except for a wry smile, so he could only put the matter down for the time being, and slowly find a way to persuade his parents to follow him to the city to enjoy Qingfu.

However, after this incident, Zhou Yuanshan seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked with a serious face: "Xiaochuan, let me ask you, how much money do you have now?" ”

"How much money?" Zhou Xiaochuan couldn't help but be stunned, he really didn't care about how much money he had now, frowned and thought about it, and replied, "It should be hundreds of thousands...... What's wrong? ”

"Multi-...... How much? The people in the room were stunned after hearing Zhou Xiaochuan's words.

Several hundred thousand? This is a huge amount of money that is out of reach for the people of Hongdou Village in the deep mountains!

After a brief shock, Zhou Yuanshan came back to his senses, frowned and asked, "Xiaochuan, do you really have hundreds of thousands?" Didn't you just graduate and start working? Even if you become one of the owners of the pet family, it is impossible to earn hundreds of thousands in such a short period of time, right? You...... Could it be that he has done something illegal and criminal? ”

"How is that possible?" Zhou Xiaochuan smiled bitterly and shouted, and then explained the origin of his money to Zhou Yuanshan and the others concisely, so as not to worry too much.

"So that's ......" After listening to the narration, Zhou Yuanshan's expression finally improved, but he still didn't forget to advise: "It's better for you to be less involved in gambling in the future." This thing, once addicted, may be ruined! ”

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded and said, "I understand, if it wasn't for Huang Xiaowan's father's matter last time, I wouldn't have gambled." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yuanshan made a request: "Xiaochuan, since you have so much money, can you take out some of it to repair the road?" ”

"Build roads?" Zhou Xiaochuan couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes, build roads." Zhou Yuanshan's expression became serious, and he said, "You also know how bad and difficult the road out of our Hongdou Village is. Speaking of which, the mountain goods and Chinese herbs in our Hongdou Village are quite good, but because of this bad road, it is difficult to transport them out. If only this road could be repaired, as long as it doesn't become muddy on rainy days, and it doesn't get dust flying on sunny days! In that way, the local products of our Hongdou Village can be shipped out and sold for money, and people from outside can also come to our Hongdou Village to travel and escape the summer! The income and living standards of the people in the village will be able to improve......"

The village chief couldn't sit still at this time, so he took over the topic and said, "Xiaochuan, in fact, it won't cost you much money to build this road." Although our village can't afford to pay for it, it is still possible to make some efforts. When the time comes, you only need to buy the materials you need to build the road, and we will do the rest! ”

As soon as they heard about the road construction, not only the people in this house turned their eyes to Zhou Xiaochuan, but even the daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law of all the families who were busy outside also stopped what they were doing. Because this matter is undoubtedly related to their livelihood and their future.

Zhou Xiaochuan also grew up in this Hongdou Village, so he naturally knows what a good road means to Hongdou Village. And the people in this red bean village, even if they are not related to him by blood, are like a family. It would be nice to be able to do something good for them. Therefore, he almost didn't hesitate, so he nodded and agreed: "I will repair this road!" No matter how much it costs, I'm going to fix it! ”

"Great!"

Inside and outside the house, everyone cheered at this moment. Even the little kids in open crotch pants sniffled and laughed with the adults, even though they probably didn't know what their adults were happy about...... (Thank you for a monthly pass, a referral ticket, and a subscription!!) ）
