When Zhou Xiaolu was born, Zhou Lin's mother did not agree with Zhou Xiaolu to register in her household registration book. Zhou Lin has such an intermittent convulsions, and an extremely strong and unreasonable mother, she can only consider herself unlucky. In desperation, Zhou Lin could only contact Feng Decheng's parents.

Although Feng's father and mother hated the Zhou family to the core, after learning the news, they agreed to add Zhou Xiaolu's name to their household registration book without saying a word. They didn't mind Zhou Xiaolu's surname Zhou at all.

Feng Decheng's parents tried to communicate with Zhou Lin, asking if they could hand over Zhou Xiaolu to them for support. At that time, Zhou Lin had just given birth to Zhou Xiaolu, and her mother's nature of protecting cubs was still there, and she hadn't realized that Zhou Xiaolu would have an impact on her remarriage.

Of course, going to the house for the children and communicating with Zhou Lin are all carried out behind Zhou Lin's parents.

Feng Decheng's parents took into account that the Zhou family's family conditions were better, Zhou Lin and his parents were both government workers and highly educated, so they should be able to give Zhou Xiaolu better conditions for living, education and growth.

It is estimated that they would never have dreamed that Zhou Lin's family, who have a decent life and work in their eyes, would let Zhou Xiaolu live a life like a wild dog. This is completely different from what they imagined and originally intended.

More than ten years later, Feng Decheng's parents' hometown was demolished. According to the demolition policy, Feng Decheng's parents were provided with several sets of compensation and resettlement houses. Looking at the household registration book, the old couple decided to put one of them under the name "Zhou Xiaolu" after discussion, and planned to contact her when she became an adult and give her this gift.

Zhou Lin and her parents both work in government agencies, and slowly, they heard the news. This news has been confirmed by many parties to be true.

This is a scene where Zhou Xiaolu's stepfather holds the house gift agreement and coaxes Zhou Xiaolu to sign it.

Zhou Xiaolu was not very old at the time, and her academic performance was average, but it didn't mean that she was a fool.

Zhou Xiaolu decisively refused to sign.

The stepfather continued to persecute him by not paying the tuition fees.

Zhou Xiaolu decided to go to her grandparents. She is convinced that her grandparents will be good to her and will definitely provide for her schooling.

This time, fate showed a smile to Zhou Xiaolu. Zhou Xiaolu was very grateful for making this bold and correct decision for a long time, she finally walked out of the dark, wet, muddy, bumpy, and suddenly jumped out of the forest path of a few beasts, and walked on a flat, flowery, sunny road, completed the transformation from wild dogs to princesses, and was able to return to the right track and start a simple, ordinary and happy life.

At that time, Zhou Xiaolu's grandmother had passed away.

The reason for Feng Decheng's suicide is mainly due to the pressure caused to him by the three women of Zhou Lin's mother and son and Feng's mother. In the eyes of others, Zhou Lin's mother and son are the culprits and should be mainly responsible. But Bong's mother has always placed the main blame on herself. After Bong Decheng's death, Feng's mother's health deteriorated, and Zhou Xiaolu's sudden appearance brought a short period of sunshine to her gloomy life, but it failed to heal her heart knot after all.

Not long after the resettlement house for demolition compensation came down, Feng's mother died.

Zhou Lin's mother and son are really strange. Not only do they have intermittent convulsions, but they also seem to have schizophrenia. On the one hand, they dislike Zhou Xiaolu and often use words to force Zhou Xiaolu to find her grandparents. On the other hand, she never revealed the slightest information about her father and grandparents to Zhou Xiaolu, nor did she tell her the address of her grandparents.

Perhaps, they themselves are avoiding looking directly at the ugliness of the past. After all, a true warrior dares to look directly at the bleak life, and a true warrior dares to look directly at the ugly human nature. In particular, looking directly at one's own faults and ugliness is even more human.

It is not so much that they dislike Zhou Xiaolu's appearance and ruined Zhou Lin's life, but that as long as they see Zhou Xiaolu, they will make their mother and son think of Feng Decheng, thus making them realize their ugliness, which makes them sleep.

In the Zhou family, grandparents and fathers, but whenever Zhou Xiaolu mentions these three titles, as well as any nouns related to them, it is taboo.

Therefore, before the stepfather took out the house gift agreement, Zhou Xiaolu did not know any information about the grandparents. But after that, she learned how to find her grandparents.

The house gift agreement had the detailed address of the resettlement house, and Zhou Xiaolu quickly remembered this address.

Then, Zhou Xiaolu found this place, squatted near the resettlement house, and asked as soon as he saw people, whether the owner of the house here had a surname Feng.

Since her grandparents gave her a resettlement house, her grandparents' own resettlement house must be with her. This is the simplest but most useful way Zhou Xiaolu can think of.

However, others told her that most of the owners of the houses here have the surname Bong.

This made Zhou Xiaolu, who was originally full of confidence, feel half cold in his heart. She only thought of using her paternal surname to screen the owner of the resettlement house and thus confirm her grandfather. But I never thought that my grandparents' hometown was called Fengjia Village.

The resettlement house here has only been handed over for a long time, and basically no one has moved in yet. After a whole day in the big resettlement community, the little Zhou Xiaolu was tired and hungry, but still found nothing.

She wanted to find something to eat, but she didn't have any money. After walking aimlessly out of the resettlement community, she didn't know where to go. But in the centralized transition room not far away, someone was holding a funeral, and the noisy mourning music and the sound of firecrackers attracted her attention.

After Zhou Xiaolu hesitated for a moment, she decided to blend in with the crowd attending the funeral and rub a running water seat.

Fate is like an invisible hand, which always appears when people are unexpected, leading people to take a crucial step or two that determines the direction and path of life. There are many roads to go in a person's life, but there are often only one or two steps that determine the direction and path of life, and they are always taken inadvertently.

Bong's father saw a person in a trance at the funeral of his deceased wife.

It was a little girl in a school uniform, and she didn't know whose child it was, and her eyebrows made him feel very familiar, especially the way she was gobbling up food, while pulling the rice bowl, she was sweating profusely, and she didn't have a little bit of the delicate spirit of the children and children, like Feng Decheng who had passed away.

Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, whether there are chili peppers in the food, you will sweat profusely when eating, especially in winter, there will be steaming heat on the top of your head, and it looks like a peerless master who has been hit by the cold palm, and is exercising to drive away the cold.

Father Bong shook his head and dispelled the mess.

After rubbing his eyes, he found that the little girl was gone.

Maybe it's the old dazzle who saw it wrong. Bong Decheng thought to himself.

But when he turned around, he found the little girl standing in front of him again.

"Grandpa, can I ask you something?" The little girl asked.

"What's the matter with you?" Father Bong said with a smile.

"Your last name is Bong, right? Did you know that there is also a family surnamed Feng in the neighborhood, and her family has a granddaughter surnamed Zhou, but she is raised in someone else's family? After Zhou Xiaolu knew that most of the people in the vicinity had the surname Feng, he decided to change the way of questioning, not asking what other people's surnames were, and directly asking people if they knew about the situation. She just wanted to try her luck.

The old man's heart jumped and he asked, "Child, what's your name?" ”

"Zhou Xiaolu ......"

At this moment, Feng's father was in tears.

After stabilizing his mood, the old man asked a few more questions, and finally determined that this was his granddaughter. Then, the old man with mixed joy and sorrow pulled Zhou Xiaolu to kowtow in front of her grandmother's mourning hall.

Then, Zhou Xiaolu lived with her grandfather.

This year, Zhou Xiaolu is about to face the high school entrance examination. Grandpa handled the transfer procedures for her, paid a large amount of "school building fees", and sent her to the best junior high school in the county. There are also motorbike pick-ups and drop-offs every day.

Regarding Zhou Xiaolu's academic performance, grandpa never asked, only asked if she was tired at school, whether she had encountered anything funny, and whether she had been bullied.

Zhou Xiaolu asked her grandfather rhetorically: "Why don't you care about my academic performance?" ”

Grandpa said, "I will write my name, I will do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and I don't understand what I don't understand, so I don't ask." ”

Zhou Xiaolu thought for a while and said, "Why don't I come back and teach you what I learned every day?" ”

Grandpa also thought about it and said, "Isn't it easy to get Alzheimer's if you use your brain more?" ”

Zhou Xiaolu nodded and said yes with great certainty.

In this way, Zhou Xiaolu's academic performance actually rose in a straight line, and he was admitted to the county's key high school, and then he was admitted to Bonan University as he wished.

Zhou Xiaolu was immersed in the joy of learning and teaching, and she didn't know what kind of umbrella her grandfather held up for her in order to protect her small world.

In the eyes of Zhou Lin and her mother, even if it is a dog, it has been raised for more than ten years, and it has paid a lot of hard work and price, Zhou Xiaolu walked away without saying a word, what is the matter?

Therefore, after discussing for a long time, they found Zhou Xiaolu's grandfather and asked him to compensate them for the cost of raising Zhou Xiaolu for more than ten years. At this time, Zhou Xiaolu was already boarding in high school and only came back once a month, and she was completely unaware of Zhou Lin and her grandmother's unreasonable request.

The old man was surprised, he thought that Zhou Lin's side would come to fight with him for the custody of Zhou Xiaolu. Since listening to Zhou Xiaolu talk about the living situation in the Zhou family, the old man has secretly made up his mind that even if the family is bankrupt, he will not let Zhou Xiaolu return to the Zhou family. Therefore, the request made by Zhou Lin's family, which seemed a little unkind to others, was a little overjoyed in the eyes of the old man.

Of course, the old man is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he has been in business all his life, and he knows that he can't expose his bottom line casually. Therefore, on the issue of whether to compensate the Zhou family, the old man is ready to fight a protracted war.
