Chapter 167: Return
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhou Yan's father to come back in mid-October.
Zhou Yan happened to be at home that day, and she heard a sound outside, so she came out to take a look.
I saw her father come back with Alingo, and the two of them were directing the little guy to put the things somewhere. When they saw Zhou Yan, the two of them were stunned. Quite embarrassed.
"What's the matter, how do you know the door, you don't even know your daughter?"
Zhou Yan walked over quickly, her tone was fierce, if she hadn't seen her eyes red, she would have thought she was sarcastic!
"Rouge has become beautiful again, I really almost didn't recognize it." Zhou Lin came to his senses and said in a doting tone.
"Hehe, yes, our rouge is getting better and better. Dad bought you a lot of jewelry, I thought it was very good-looking, but when I looked at it like this, the jewelry was not worthy of our family's rouge. Zhou Shu hurriedly smiled.
"I've become good-looking, but you old man has become ugly, look at you, what your face has sunned, I brought you those pearl creams, are you useless!" Zhou Yan said with a pout.
She was angry and sad, she hadn't seen her for a year, her father had become thin again, and he was very dark. And she obviously wanted to care about her father, but when the words came to her mouth, it became like this.
"It's okay, it's okay, dad is an old man, what do you want to look good, that pearl paste, dad used it, really, you ask you Alingo, dad really used it, it's just that the sun is too hot in that place, and the pearl paste is sunburned like this. However, it's still useful, you look at Ah Si and them, they're all tanned, hahaha......"
Zhou Shu has lived for decades, and no one has been afraid, but he is afraid of this girl, as soon as she is unhappy and frowns, he is very distressed, but he dare not be disobedient, otherwise this girl will definitely be unhappy.
The pearl paste was developed by Rouge herself, when he left last year, the girl stayed up for several days, and prepared a lot for him and Alin, if he didn't use it, wouldn't it be to live up to her hard work.
Therefore, he and Alin wiped it before going to bed at night, and no matter how sleepy and tired they were, they didn't fall down once, otherwise they would feel uneasy. This is all a woman's thing, he and Alin were seen by others, but they laughed at it, but they won't be embarrassed, this is his daughter's own doing, they want it or not!
Even before he came back, he found that everyone was white, and their group was very dark, and the place where they were originally was shining with the sun all year round, and it was not hot, and everyone was black like carbon, so he and Alin really didn't realize that they were black, compared to those people, they were all white.
But when they came back along the way, they found that they were still very dark! Before he came back, he deliberately shaved his beard and tidied it up, just because he was afraid that he would dislike it.
That girl is his own child, he still doesn't know her temper, the more disgusted he is, the more sad he feels, just look at their appearance, he feels that they have suffered a lot, and she is even more sad in her heart.
"Humph! Or is your place bad, just treat it as a treasure and stay there all year round! Zhou Yan said with a snort.
Don't think she doesn't know, she's checked it all, the place where her father went is rich in coal mines, and there are rough jewelry and other things, but that place is all bare mountains, and it's hot everywhere.
Coal mines can't be easily mined, and that's where his father stays, doing the jewelry business, mining rough stones, processing them, designing them somewhere else, and then selling them. The whole route was made by his father himself.
So sometimes I will run around, but most of the time I stay in Yaocheng. There are not many people in that place, it is empty and barren, there is not much to sell, it is not good to eat, it is not good to sleep, and life is naturally bitter.
"Oh, isn't Daddy back! And when my father came back this time, he stayed at home and didn't leave. Zhou Shu said excitedly.
"Really? You, you're not going to that place anymore? What about your business? Zhou Yan asked in surprise.
She really didn't expect that her father had been doing it for so many years, how could he suddenly stop doing it, could something go wrong?
"Rouge, let me and my cousin go in first! We're tired standing here! Zhou Lin said with a smile.
"Oh, I forgot, you go in by yourself! You have to have my permission to enter this house! Zhou Yan chopped his feet and complained.
She forgot about this for a while, why are these two still stupid! It's obviously my own home, why do I have to ask her before I dare to go in!
"It's not that I'm cowardly, I didn't dare to go in!" Zhou Lin teased.
After saying this, the three of them went in, it was so cold outside, and Zhou Yan realized that it was still very cold outside when it was so warm in the house. I was excited just now, but I didn't even feel it.
Zhou Yan looked at the two of them who were not wearing much, their ears were frozen red, and he was distressed and angry in his heart, these two people were two fools!
Fortunately, a pot of hot tea had just been boiled, and Zhou Yan hurriedly poured two cups and gave them to the two of them. It's going to freeze stupid right away.
"Well, warm your hands." Zhou Yan's tone was a little gentler.
"Thank you, Rouge." Zhou Lin held the hot tea and thanked him with a smile.
Zhou Shu just smirked, and sure enough, she was still a girl! Although the rouge didn't say it, he felt a lot of love for them in his heart.
"Delicious!" Zhou Shu praised.
"That's nature, this is the flower tea I made myself, and it is also the flower planted in our yard, which is very fragrant." Zhou Yanmei said.
She loves to play with these things, and she doesn't have much to do at home, but she just grows a lot of flowers and makes things out of them.
Make some rouge or something, or flower tea. She couldn't use it up before she made it herself, so she gave some to her aunt, but she couldn't use it up. Now it's okay, you can give it to Sister Yang, Sister Yang likes to drink flower tea very much, and Mrs. Wang also likes it, and a few people share a point, and it's almost the same.
"Hehe, my daughter is just amazing."
"By the way, just now you said that you will be at home in the future and will not go to Yaocheng?" Zhou Yan remembered the question just now.
"Well, if you don't go, you can't say you don't go at all, it's just that you spend most of your time at home and go once in a while." Zhou Shu replied.
"And your business?"
"Dad has been there for several years, and he has some connections more or less, and over the years, those roads are familiar, as long as someone is watching, there is no problem. So, Dad just went to see it once in a while, and he didn't have to stay there all the time. "
The place was poor, and the people there were either poor and timid people who were afraid of things, or they were people who were not afraid of death, desperately trying their best to divide the business with outsiders like them, so he had been watching there all these years, for fear that his subordinates would not be able to handle it.
In that place, there are three forces, seeing that his business is big, they all want to get a piece of the pie, he is working hard outside, and he also left his baby girl and his little son at home, then he is the silver he earned for business, how can they get anything.
Over the years, there have been fights in the open and in the dark, on the surface they are all fighting for the number of people, and secretly they are all fighting for the section. Many people have been injured, and several brothers have died.
He doesn't eat soft rice, he takes Alin with him, and he keeps watch day and night, since he got there, it's been five years, even if he has suffered a small loss, and a big loss has not eaten at all.
Originally, the matter would not have been solved so easily, but this year, by chance, he helped the eldest brother of one of the gangs, and it was still the kind of great favor that involved human life.
The reason why he helped him was that he was the only one who had some morality, although he was also a person who did not want to die for the silver, but he had morality in his heart, and he was not the kind of heinous person.
As a result, he didn't misunderstand him, this time he saved the man an extremely important brother, and the man helped him.
formed an alliance with him, solved the other small gangs, and then reached an agreement, what their gang will do in the future has nothing to do with him, but he will protect his business for a day in Yaocheng.
Of course, his perennial business can't let him do things in vain, he will give him a share every year, although not a lot, but it is also a lot, enough for their brother's expenses for half a year, and the remaining half a year, they have other sources of money.
As soon as this matter is resolved, he will leave the henchmen he has cultivated over the years, and there are henchmen there to watch the various processes, basically he is not there, and there will be no problems.
Therefore, he doesn't have to stay there forever, he has mistreated his children all these years, and it is time to come back and make amends to them.
"You finally knew, this should have been done a long time ago! Just leave some people there, the business is so big, you are busy alone, how can you be busy! Zhou Yan complained.
Obviously, everyone is doing business in the town, and they are doing very well, and she and Taotao don't have to ask for a lot of silver to support, so there is no need for her father to work so hard.
"Okay, yes, it's that my father was confused before, so isn't this repentance! In the future, I will stay at home to make it easier for you, and Taotao, I owe him too much. Zhou Shu sighed.
When Zhou Tao was four years old, he left home to do business outside, the child had no mother, and it was the same as having his father. At the end of the year, you can only see it during the Chinese New Year.
Although the child didn't say anything and didn't complain about him, he basically had no feelings for him, but it was no wonder that the child had no impression of him since he was a child, and he was at home for just a few days every year.
Therefore, there is no father like him in his life, and he doesn't need it, so he doesn't complain, just politely.
"I don't have any hard work, my uncle and aunt are nearby, they can help me a little, Taotao also saves trouble, and I don't have to worry about anything. It's mainly you, if you don't come back, when Taotao is older, you really don't need your father. "
Zhou Yan complained that her father was complaining about this, she really didn't have anything to do, she wasn't wronged much, in the town, she was rich and powerful, and her uncles and aunts took good care of her, so there was no big problem.
But Taotao is different, Taotao has no mother since he was a child, and he is already a sensitive child. But when she was four years old, so young that she couldn't even remember anyone, her father left home.
After coming back for a few days a year, Taotao was strange and scared of him at first, but then he knew that he was older and knew that this was his father, but at first he was about to complain, and then he became numb and indifferent to his father.
Whether Dad comes back or not has no effect on him at all, and even in Taotao's heart, maybe his father is just a word, knowing that there is such a person, there is nothing else. Far less important than a friend.
Now Taotao is ten years old and still a child, if his father stays with him at home for a long time, it is possible that Taotao will recognize this father. After all, boys still have a dependence on their fathers.
If Daddy doesn't come back, in a few years, Taotao will be a teenager, and he will be a big child, maybe he won't need the feeling of father's love.
"Hey! I know that my father is very unqualified and owes you a lot, and I will compensate you well in the future. Taotao is going to school now, right? "
Zhou Shui sighed, although Rouge had a hard mouth, he still cared about him, but Taotao was different, he had no feelings for him. From now on, when he grows up, he will definitely compensate him well and let him also be a child with a father.
"Well, it's not a rest day today, so I'm going to the academy and I'll be back at noon." Zhou Yan replied.
"Then I'll pick him up at noon! It was very cold outside, so I went to pick him up. Zhou Shu said excitedly.
"No need, it's cold today, and in the morning, my uncle sent someone to drive a donkey cart and took Ah Sheng and Taotao together. At noon, it was better, and he ran back with a few friends, just in time to exercise and warm up. "
It's usually like this, and it was the same last winter, when it was very cold in the morning, I went to it by donkey cart. I ran back at noon, just to warm my body. And it's good for your body to run more.
Sister Yang said that it's not good for these children to sit in the school all the time! You should exercise more on weekdays, which is good for your health and helpful for reading.
And she knows that Tianbao was not tall at the beginning, but he got up every morning to run, and he didn't sit there reading all the time on weekdays, but he didn't delay reading and exercising.
In the past two years, Tianbao's height has increased by leaps and bounds, and he used to be much shorter than Taotao! Now it's about the same height as Taotao. And people are also good at reading, and they have always been the first in the exam.
"That's fine, boys should exercise more, so that their bodies are strong! I haven't seen you for a year, I don't know if Tao Tao has grown taller? Zhou Lin asked with a smile.
He has always been doing business with his cousin, and he also came back together for the Chinese New Year, basically living in Rouge's house. It has a good relationship with Taotao's kid.
That kid is actually a good seedling of martial arts, and he is also tall, he was already very tall last year, taller than his peers, I don't know if he is taller this year. At this time, boys grow up very quickly.
