Chapter 428: Where Are the Bones of Grandparents?
Both of them seemed to understand a little, but they also seemed to be even less understanding.
Zhou Hanqing's tomb is buried with an empty coffin, so where is the real coffin? Where are the bones of him and Yu Fanghua?
The two of them pondered here, and the old farmer with the hoe had not gone far, looking at them.
When they were about to leave, the old farmer asked, "You don't sit in the village anymore?" ”
Zhou Yan took Liang Xiaonan's hand and asked him, "Is Grandpa Hai at home?" ”
The old farmer nodded: "Yes, he's sick." ”
"Ah, then I have to check it out."
Zhou Hai is one of the few remaining old people in Zhou Hanqing's generation, and he is also the current patriarch of the Zhou family, and Zhou Yan still wants to go and see it.
He also wanted to ask, did Zhou Hai know if there were empty coffins in the graves of his grandfather and grandmother? Where are the bones buried?
"Haven't you been here before?" Liang Xiaonan asked in surprise.
"I've been here, but Guo Acai comes to pay homage to my grandfather every year, and she has always kept in touch with these people, so it's inconvenient for me to come often."
Now that Guo Acai is locked up, and Zhou Hai is sick, he came to take a look.
The basic surname in the village is Zhou, and Zhou Yan said that it was Zhou Hanqing who bought the island and relocated all the people in the clan, except for a very few indigenous "nail households" who resolutely refused to move out, and everyone else gave money to move away.
Because the fishing village of the clan used to be by the sea, it is hit by waves and typhoons every year, and it is unspeakably miserable.
Although this island is also on the sea, it has a natural topographical advantage, the north and south are blocked by craters, the sea breeze has to turn around, no matter how strong the wind will be, for decades, the island has not suffered a disaster.
Moreover, the soil on the island is very fertile, as long as you are diligent, you will not die of hunger.
This island is officially called Sunshine Island, and everyone calls it Zhouqian Island, which means the island where the Zhou family moved.
Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan went to a courtyard along the street in the center of the village, and at the door, a young man in his twenties was sorting out fishing nets and asked curiously, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Let's take a look at Grandpa Hai." Zhou Yan didn't wait for his permission before walking into the courtyard by himself.
Zhou Guangming threw away the fishing net in his hand, ran in front of them, and asked excitedly, "Who are you?" My grandfather was sick. ”
Zhou Yan glanced at him: "Your grandfather is sick, are you so happy?" ”
Zhou Guangming paused at his feet and said, "How can I be happy when my grandfather is sick, I am a little excited when I see your eyes." ”
Liang Xiaonan burst out laughing: "So happy to see a stranger? ”
Zhou Guangming didn't know what to say for a while, he didn't seem to be able to speak?
A middle-aged man in the room walked out, looked Zhou Yan up and down, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Zhou Yan." Zhou Yan's answer was very simple, as if the other party should know who he was.
In fact, the man really knew who it was, and when he heard the name, he immediately exclaimed: "It's you!" Come on in. ”
shouted Zhou Guangming again: "Guangming, go to the street to buy vegetables, and call your brother and mother back." ”
He lowered his voice and admonished: "Tell them that the eldest young master is here." ”
Liang Xiaonan listened to it next to him and couldn't close his mouth.
Zhou Yan suddenly turned his head to look at her, she understood in seconds, and immediately held back a smile.
"Don't toss, let's take a look at Grandpa Hai and leave in a while." Zhou Yan asked Liang Xiaonan to release one of the back baskets at the door.
Zhou Qin took Zhou Yan to the house of his father Zhou Hai, and Zhou Yan held Liang Xiaonan's hand and brought it over.
The room is relatively spacious, the ground is concrete, a table of eight immortals, a few wooden chairs, wooden stools, there are three grain hoards more than one meter high in the corner, and there are three bricks underneath to prevent moisture.
Zhou Hai leaned on the quilt, surrounded by a mat around the bed where he slept, he looked 80 years old, not only old, but also delirious.
Zhou Qin lay in front of his face and said excitedly, "Dad, the eldest young master is here." ”
Zhou Hai: "Huh? After a few sounds, he obviously didn't know who the eldest young master and second young master were.
He snorted and said anxiously: "I'm going, going to see the master, where is the eldest young master?" How do I find him? ”
Zhou Qin hurriedly poured him a glass of water, but he didn't drink it, just grabbed it with both hands, and seemed very anxious: "Is Guo Acai here again?" Get out, get out quickly. ”
“……”
Zhou Qin said embarrassedly: "My dad has been confused for a long time, and he says every day that he will kick out the second aunt." ”
He told Zhou Yan that Guo Acai came every year, and Zhou Hai used to hide out every time, but in the past two years, he was not in good health and couldn't hide, and he shouted "drive out" every time he was about to sacrifice.
Zhou Yan looked at Liang Xiaonan: "Xiaonan, let Grandpa Hai sober up?" ”
Liang Xiaonan made eye contact with him, lip shape: ginseng fruit?
Zhou Yan: Hmm!
Liang Xiaonan took out a small bottle from his satchel, which contained a ginseng fruit and a bottle of spiritual spring liquid.
handed it to Zhou Yan, and Zhou Yan handed it to Zhou Qin: "Feed Grandpa Hai." ”
Zhou Qin took the small bottle, and when he opened the lid, he smelled an incomparably sweet and soul-stirring aroma, and he couldn't help but inhale deeply.
Putting the mouth of the bottle under Zhou Hai's nose, Zhou Hai seemed to be stunned, his mood stabilized suddenly, and after a while, he said clearly: "What is this?" ”
Zhou Qin was overjoyed: "Dad, this is the medicine given to you by the eldest young master, it is a special effect treasure, you are about to eat it." ”
Zhou Hai said: "I don't eat it, I give it to the eldest young master." ”
Zhou Qin looked at Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan snorted and said, "Grandpa Hai, eat it." ”
Zhou Qin immediately poured it into Grandpa Hai's mouth, Zhou Hai drank a small bottle of spiritual spring liquid, and ate a fruit, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he shouted Zhou Qin: "Quick, help me go to the toilet." ”
Zhou Yan took Liang Xiaonan's hand and waited in the living room.
Not long after, Zhou Hai had already finished going to the toilet, and came over with a shower and changed clothes, and when he saw Zhou Yan, he said excitedly: "You are Young Master Yan of the uncle's family?" ”
Zhou Yan nodded: "I'm Zhou Yan." ”
Zhou Hai said excitedly: "I saw you a few times when you were a child, you looked like too much when you were a child, and now you look like a master." ”
Zhou Yan didn't speak, Zhou Hai was the patriarch of the Zhou family and Zhou Hanqing's most loyal servant.
Of course, it is a new society now, and there is no such thing as a master and a servant, but Zhou Hai doesn't want to change, he is used to it, Zhou Hanqing is his master, and it is the master who brought the whole clan here, and he no longer has to be tortured by natural disasters.
As soon as Zhou Hai came to his senses, he asked Zhou Qin: "Is Guo Acai gone?" ”
Zhou Qin said helplessly: "She came in April, and she didn't come since." ”
Zhou Hai looked at Liang Xiaonan: "Is this a young grandmother?" ”
Liang Xiaonan's face turned red, it was the first time she had faced a seventy or eighty-year-old man who had called herself like this in two lifetimes.
Zhou Yan nodded: "Yes." ”
Zhou Hai immediately said: "Young grandma, Zhou Hai meets young grandma." ”
Liang Xiaonan's heart suddenly rose, and there was an indescribable sense of solemnity and responsibility.
She also called him Grandpa Hai like Zhou Yan: "Grandpa Hai, you don't have to be polite, now that the new society is new, don't do this, we are all equal, for me, you are the elders." ”
"No, no, no, you are young masters and young grandmothers." Zhou Hai said excitedly, "Thank you for the medicine, young master and grandmother, I'm fine, my legs and feet are all fine." ”
He didn't wait for Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan to speak, and said to Zhou Qin: "You go out, look at the door, I have something to say to the young master." ”
Zhou Qin immediately went out obediently, Liang Xiaonan smiled and said to Zhou Yan: "You guys talk, I'll go out and have a look." ”
I went out with Zhou Qin.
Zhou Customs opened the door, took Zhou Yan to the inner room, and was about to kneel down immediately, Zhou Yan hurriedly supported him: "Grandpa Hai, you can say something directly." ”
Zhou Hai's face suddenly became anxious, and he no longer had the composure just now.
"It's great that the young master is here, I have a hundred thousand urgent things to tell you."
Thanks to the "ZZ" cutie for the monthly pass, I wish my baby a happy day, what?!
