After the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is the first day of the new year, and this day should be given to the uncle, Zhou Sheng's uncle, Zhou Yi has to be called uncle.

In fact, Zhou Sheng didn't sleep last night, it was almost dawn after worshipping the ancestors, Zhou Sheng was busy making some gifts, and when he wanted to sleep, it was already dark, so he simply didn't sleep, and the family took a carriage and went to Meizhou.

When he was about to get into the car, Zhou Min saw Zhou Sheng's excited face, and couldn't help muttering: "Dad, what are you doing?" Didn't it mean that we don't have relatives? ”

"No relatives?" Zhou Yi happened to hear this, and hurriedly pulled Zhou Min over and said, "Don't say this, it's bad luck on the first day of the Lunar New Year." ”

"Oh." Zhou Min nodded obediently. After more than half a year of training, he has accumulated a lot of experience in at least driving a carriage.

The carriage slowly left the city, facing the cold wind and walking on the sparsely populated road, and after walking for a while, Zhou Sheng got out of the carriage and sat with Zhou Yi.

"Dad, what are you doing here? It's cold outside, it's so warm inside, get in and sit. ”

Zhou Sheng glared and said, "Do you know where to go if I don't come out?" ”

"I don't know." Zhou Yi said honestly, he really didn't know where the car was going, didn't Zhou Min say that he had no relatives? God knows where you're going.

Zhou Yi's face was full of light, he snatched the reins from Zhou Yi's hand, and the long horsewhip was whipped on the horse's back, and the two jujube red horses were in pain, and they suddenly sped up.

"Let's go to your uncle's house, we haven't been there for many years, and you still went once when you were in your mother's arms."

It turns out that there are still relatives, but they don't move around, Zhou Yi thinks that relatives and relatives have to move around to appear close, and they haven't met for decades, and no matter how thick the blood is than water, they can't get close.

Zhou Yi was a little curious and asked, "Then why didn't you go to your relatives in previous years?" Is it a long way off? ”

"It's not far, it's in Meizhou." Zhou Sheng seemed to remember what happened before, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and then suddenly he burst out laughing, Zhou Yi was inexplicable, Zhou Min opened the curtain and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with Dad?" ”

Zhou Yi said helplessly: "I don't know either. ”

This journey is very cheerful, to eat, the carriage has approached Meizhou, you can see the city wall of Meizhou from afar, this year's snow is not heavy, the ground is not all covered with snow.

The family is wearing new jackets, using the best materials on the market, at first glance, people who don't know the truth will definitely think that it is a big family, no one would have thought that half a year ago everyone was so depressed that they almost starved to death.

Zhou Yi never treated the Qin family and Zhou Min badly, not mentioning that the Qin family had pulled several feet of the best satin for himself to make clothes, just the gold and silver jewelry that Zhou Min was wearing now could envy others.

Except for the occasional complaints of the Qin family, Zhou Yi was very good to both mother and daughter. He believes that people who can not propose to separate their families in the most difficult times have bad intentions.

When the carriage arrived at the city, it did not enter the city, but walked to a village outside the city, and from a distance you could see that there were only more than 100 families in this village, and everyone was immersed in the joy of the New Year.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, there were two big houses with white walls and gray tiles, the courtyard of Wujin looked very magnificent, and the leftmost one hung the words "Zhoufu", Zhou Yi's heart moved, could it be that this is the one who is coming today?

He thought well, the carriage did stop at the door of this house, looking at the specifications of this house, it was much more than his own tea house, and besides, this is in Meizhou, it is convenient to enter the city, and his identity is also noble.

Zhou Sheng first got out of the car, tidied up his clothes, tried to make his image look more formal, and then knocked on the door.

"Who?" An old woman's voice came from inside, and then they opened a crack, and saw that it was Zhou Sheng standing outside the door, and he closed it directly.

This change made Zhou Yi stunned, and Zhou Sheng was a little unexpected, Zhou Yi asked, "Dad, why do you say this?" ”

Zhou Sheng sighed and said: "Hey, I guarded this Daguan Tea Workshop back then, and I did my best in the first few years, but it was getting worse, I didn't have the heart to go to my relatives at all, and then I really had no choice, so I just went with the flow and brought a little thing from home to my relatives, but they thought I brought less things and was not decent enough, so they counted me down, and when I came back the next year, I didn't even let me in." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yi couldn't help laughing and said, "My good father, no wonder you brought such a carriage of New Year's goods today, do you mean to make amends?" I said, "Why do you do this?" People don't want us to come anymore, so what are we going to do? In my opinion, we should go back, this rice cake, New Year's money or something, just give it to me. ”

His voice was so loud that not only the people in the courtyard could hear it, but even several families next to him were curious to come out to see the excitement.

As soon as the words fell, the previously closed doors were all opened in an instant, and there were more than a dozen old and young people standing in the courtyard inside, and when they saw Zhou Sheng, a skinny old man in his seventies and eighties smiled and wrinkled like a dried orange peel, he walked out of the door, looked at Zhou Sheng, and then looked at Zhou Yi, and said with a leaky mouth: "This is your son?" What is your name? ”

Zhou Yi was silent, Zhou Sheng stabbed him, and when he still didn't speak, he smiled and said, "You kid is not polite, my uncle will speak for you." Uncle, he is my eldest son, Zhou Yi, the word Hengzhi, just won the first place in the state examination not long ago. ”

When he spoke, his head was slightly raised, his eyes seemed to be lifted to the sky, and his head was held high, as if waiting for everyone's praise.

Sure enough, the praise came like a tide, and I didn't care that I had never seen it, the family all gathered around affectionately, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, Zhou Yi was praised as better than Pan An, better than Song Yu, and Zhou Min was also praised as a great beauty like Chang'e in the sky.

In the midst of all the people's endless praises, the family walked inside, and Zhou Sheng waved his hand proudly: "The things on the carriage, you go and move them down by yourself." ”

All the women, children, swarmed past Zhou Yi and them, rushing to the carriage like hungry tigers.

Zhou Yi first sighed, and then said loudly: "You pay attention to me, don't break the car, you can't afford to pay for it." After taking things down, remember to eat and drink well and take care of my horse, a good horse for hundreds of times, but there can be no mistake. ”

The rhythm of the crazy robbery suddenly stopped, and Zhou Sheng frowned and said, "You kid, how do you talk?" ”

Zhou Yi said indifferently: "What I say is the truth, I like to listen to it or not." ”

The expressions on everyone's faces were stunned, and then they immediately recovered, and warmly invited everyone to come in. The elderly uncle seemed to suddenly burst into vitality, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Xiaodong Xiaoxi, you two go catch chickens and ducks, hurry up." ”

Two people who looked about the same age as Zhou Yi were ordered to go to the back yard, and a few daughters-in-law looked like people went out to buy vegetables under the leadership of their uncle, and there were only a few people left in the house who were about the same age as Zhou Sheng, with their children.

Zhou Sheng was in high spirits, he hadn't enjoyed such treatment for decades, and under the compliments of his cousins, he became more and more fluttering.

Zhou Yi looked for a place to sit expressionlessly, Qin and Zhou Min were next to him, Zhou Min took Zhou Yi's hand and said, "Brother, what are you doing?" How do you look like you're upset? ”

When a few young people next to him heard this, they hurriedly came over to talk to Zhou Yi, Zhou Sheng dealt with it casually, and there was no expression on his face, Zhou Min was dragged by a few girls to play.

"Come, come, you children, this is the first time I've seen you, come on, come on, this is a gift for you." Zhou Sheng took out a money bag from his arms, reached in and grabbed a handful of copper coins and began to distribute them to the children, without looking at the number.

Zhou Yi sighed, and suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, who doesn't have a problem of disliking the poor and loving the rich, can he be angry here? Compared to listening to Zhou Sheng's previous experience, there is some imbalance in my heart. There is no need to look at the face of this big New Year, just don't come in the future.

Thinking of this, he stood up and took out a new stack of Jiaozi from his arms, all of which were consistent, and sent them to everyone consistently, without speaking, looking at the surprised expressions on their faces, Zhou Yi suddenly felt comfortable. When he went out, he took a hundred guan with him, and after a while, he scattered more than twenty guan without blinking his eyes. For him, this is only a small amount.

But in everyone's opinion, it is different, they all carry dozens of dollars with them, and none of the people present have such a big family background, and the eyes that look at Zhou Yi are suddenly different.

Zhou Sheng enjoyed this gaze very much, even when he was sitting, his waist was straight, this treatment was like heaven and earth from his previous encounter.

The hospitality was more enthusiastic, under the catalytic effect of money, the family quickly got together, in the courtyard, a sumptuous banquet was being prepared in full swing, Zhou Yi's family of four didn't have to do anything, just need to chat with a few old people. A few children went to buy firecrackers and played happily on the open space.

Everything is so harmonious, everything is so happy, but Zhou Yi can never forget the opening and closing of the door just now, although this action is small, but the weakness of human nature reflected in it makes him feel very uncomfortable, but there is no way, since Zhou Sheng likes it very much, then Zhou Yi will also let himself like it, father, mother, sister, these three people are all he has, he is willing to do anything for them.
