It stands to reason that Zhou Xiaoying still has relatives, and no one has contacted Zhou Xiaoying after more than ten years have passed.

Li Duoyu felt that something was estimated to be something, which led to the inability to contact.

The uncle, who was shaking the fan, suddenly said:

"By the way, although the Zhou family has gone to Hong Kong Island, here in Zhouzhuang, you seem to have a cousin."

Hearing that there were relatives, Zhou Xiaoying was pleasantly surprised: "Does my cousin also live here, what is her name?" ”

The uncle pointed to a two-story house not far away with tiles on the exterior wall and said:

"The most beautiful household in front is your cousin's house, and your cousin seems to be called Qin Huaiyun."

"Thank you, uncle, Duoyu, let's go over and see if my cousin is at home."

Li Duoyu asked: "Uncle, then do you know where Zhou Yuanqing was buried after he left, and we want to go and worship." ”

The uncle who was shaking the pu fan thought about it: "It's really been too long, you suddenly asked like this, I really can't remember." ”

Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying followed the direction pointed by the uncle and came to the two-story building with white exterior tiles.

It was really nice to find this house.

A two-story building with a separate courtyard, a large iron gate that opens on the opposite side, a courtyard paved with cement, and an imported motorcycle parked.

In this era, you can't get it without one or two hundred thousand yuan, I didn't think that Zhou Xiaoying's cousin's family was so rich.

Li Duoyu knocked on the iron door.

"Is anyone home, please?"

didn't think about it, just after knocking, there was a dog barking in the yard, and a big wolf dog with an iron chain rushed to the position of the iron gate, barking non-stop, startling Zhou Xiaoying.

Followed by.

A middle-aged woman holding an iron basin came over and said impatiently: "Who are you looking for, don't knock on the iron door, that dog is very fierce, I didn't close the iron door, and I don't care if you are bitten." ”

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "Eldest sister, is Qin Huaiyun at home?" ”

The middle-aged woman was stunned:

"Do you have anything to do with her?"

Intuition told Zhou Xiaoying that this middle-aged woman was the person she was looking for, and hurriedly introduced herself:

"That's right, I'm Zhou Shiqing's daughter, Zhou Xiaoying, Zhou Yuanqing is my grandfather......"

Before Zhou Xiaoying finished speaking, the woman was not surprised, but a frightened face, and hurriedly said: "You have found the wrong person, Qin Huaiyun didn't live here......"

After speaking, he immediately closed the iron door.

Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying were all stunned.

The two of them could clearly feel that the other party's attitude was not very friendly, and they deliberately avoided them.

"Eldest sister, I am really Zhou Shiqing's daughter."

Zhou Xiaoying said it again.

But the other party didn't want to pay attention to them at all.

Li Duoyu had no choice but to repeat the old trick and handed out cigarettes to the villagers in the past, but before he could ask two, he knew the general situation.

It turned out that the middle-aged woman just now was Qin Huaiyun, although their family was very rich, but the people in the village looked down on their family.

Because their family doesn't work and doesn't make money, they all rely on the help of the Zhou family on Hong Kong Island, and they give their family tens of millions of overseas Chinese remittance vouchers every year, and this money also includes the cost of rebuilding the old house.

But Qin Huaiyun was greedy for all the money, so he didn't rebuild the old house of the Zhou family at all, but built a new house for himself and bought an imported motorcycle for his family.

After hearing this, Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying immediately understood, no wonder this Qin Huaiyun didn't dare to see them, this was for fear of being held responsible.

Li Duoyu knocked on the door again: "Cousin, we are not here to trouble you, we are just here to ask for the contact address of relatives on Hong Kong Island." ”

But no matter how Li Duoyu knocked on the iron door, the other side ignored him.

knocked on the back, and the middle-aged woman said impatiently: "Who is your cousin, don't scream, okay, how do I know, are you here to extort money, if you knock on the door again, I will let the dog go to the police." ”

Li Duoyu said: "If you don't believe it, I have a photo of Zhou Shiqing here, you can come out and confirm." ”

"What is there to confirm, what does Zhou Shiqing look like, I have long forgotten, ghost knows, did you deliberately lie to me."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying suddenly felt very sad and aggrieved, her eyes instantly turned red, she just came to find relatives, but she didn't expect it to be such a result.

"Fish, don't knock, let's go."

Zhou Xiaoying gritted her teeth, as if she had never been here, she planned to set off now and return to Dandan Island immediately.

But it was not easy to come here, Li Duoyu was a little unwilling, and continued:

"Cousin, if you refuse to give us the contact address, where is Grandpa Xiaoying's burial, tell us, let's go and pay a respect."

"Impossible, my relatives, why should I worship you two outsiders."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu, who also had a good temper, couldn't help but scold: "You fuck, you woman is really young." ”

And at this moment, the uncle who was shaking the pu fan just now came over with two slices of cut watermelon, followed by a middle-aged man.

The two look very much alike.

After the uncle looked at the two of them, he said, "I guessed that the two of you may not even be able to enter the door, this Qin Huaiyun is not a good thing." ”

Li Duoyu smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Come, it's too hot in this summer, let's eat two slices of watermelon to relieve the heat."

"Thank you, uncle."

Li Duoyu was not polite, after taking a slice of watermelon, he took a bite, and his mouth was rustling and a little cold.

"Uncle, you've been soaking this watermelon in the well for a long time."

"Yes, it's been a day of soaking, and on this hot day, if you don't put the watermelon in the well, it's not interesting to eat."

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoying was embarrassed to take it, the uncle handed it directly to her: "Come, eat one too, this melon is very sweet." ”

"Thank you."

Zhou Xiaoying took the watermelon and ate it, although this relative named Qin Huaiyun was quite bad, but the uncle in Daddy's hometown was quite good, which made her grievances a little less.

After they finished eating the watermelon, the uncle continued: "Don't lose the skin, I can make pickled watermelon skin." ”

"Pickled watermelon rind is delicious."

The uncle said: "I have a lot of pickles at home, if you want to eat, I will give you a small jar." ”

Li Duoyu hurriedly waved his hand: "It's too polite, it's inconvenient for us to take the car and bring things." ”

The uncle continued:

"I almost forgot to tell you, my son still had contact with the Zhou family more than ten years ago, and he has the address of the Zhou family in his hand."

After the uncle finished speaking, the middle-aged man behind him took out a somewhat yellowed envelope from his pocket.

And Qin Huaiyun, who had been peeking, scolded after seeing the envelope:

"Zhang Damao, don't be nosy, those two are liars, if you are deceived by them, I don't care."

Zhang Damao shouted towards the courtyard: "The whole village knows that your family has the most conscience, and now that the owner of the family has returned, he dares to say that he is a liar, and it is good for people to have photos." ”

Not long after.

There were a lot of people gathered in this suburban junction to watch the excitement, and some people gloated: "It's interesting now, the main owner is finally back, it's best to cut off Qin Huaiyun's overseas Chinese remittance coupons, see if she is still scared." ”

"That's right, her kids are really annoying, always riding motorcycles in the middle of the night, waking me up several times."

Seeing that everyone was talking, Qin Huaiyun said angrily: "Don't be at my door, I'll untie the dog leash." ”

The onlookers laughed and said: "Hurry up and untie it, if you dare to rest assured, we will add dinner at night, we haven't eaten dog meat for a long time." ”

"Now, I finally know that I'm afraid."

"People are watching the sky, and they can't be too Qinhuaiyun."

Under the leadership of Zhang Damao, Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying bought some sacrifices, incense and paper money at the nearby supply and marketing cooperative.

followed them to Zhou Yuanqing's cemetery, which was in a desolate place, and the four of them arrived there.

After Zhang Damao arrived there, he scolded on the spot: "This Qin Huaiyun is really not a thing, your Zhou family gives her so much money every year, and she has never come to worship at all." ”

Li Duoyu looked at the old grave in front of him, there was no tombstone, overgrown with weeds, and it was full of clumps of reeds.

If Zhang Damao didn't say it, no one would know that there was a grave here.

Li Duoyu asked: "

"Uncle Zhang, are you sure it's here, if you worship the wrong grave, it will be embarrassing."

Zhang Damao patted his chest and promised: "As long as you are Zhou Shiqing's daughter and son-in-law, then you will 100% not visit the wrong grave. ”

"Then we'll be relieved."

Li Duoyu rolled up his cuffs, held the borrowed wood knife, and scraped the reeds and weeds on it.

Zhou Xiaoying also took a hoe and hoeed away the nearby weeds.

Zhang Damao also wanted to help, but Li Duoyu hurriedly stopped: "Uncle Zhang, you really don't need to, we can do this ourselves." ”

"Okay, we'll wait for you at the bottom of the mountain."

It took more than an hour for Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying to repair the tomb into shape.

Zhou Xiaoying put the sacrifice on the grave, and then lit the incense, but for a while, she didn't know what to say, and she brewed for a long time, with only one simple sentence.

"Grandpa, your granddaughter Zhou Xiaoying has come to see you."

Li Duoyu, who was holding the incense, said: "I am my grandson-in-law, Li Duoyu, don't worry, I love your granddaughter very much." ”

Zhou Xiaoying was stunned, and her originally complicated emotions were slightly amused by what he said.

After the two worshipped, this relative, who had never met before, burned a lot of paper money, and then left this small hillside.

When you come to the foot of the mountain.

Li Duoyu left an address for the uncle who was enthusiastic about helping:

"Uncle, I've been with Xiaoying, it's actually okay, if you want to play on the island in the future, or if you need help, just write to us, as long as you can help, we will definitely help."

The uncle shook his head and said, "Don't be so polite, I'm not your relative, there's no need." ”

Li Duoyu smiled: "To be honest, some relatives are really not as good as a good neighbor." ”

The uncle sighed and accepted the note handed over by Li Duoyu: "Okay, if we want to go to the island to play in the future, we will write to you." ”

"Then I'll go with Xiaoying first."

"Slow down, come back often when you have time."

"Hmm." Zhou Xiaoying nodded, and when she left, she looked at the collapsed ancestral house, and she felt very uncomfortable.

As soon as he returned to the hotel, he went straight into the quilt and was so aggrieved that he cried.

"No wonder for all these years, not a single person has written to me."

Li Duoyu comforted: "Didn't we get the address, your relatives went to Hong Kong Island, and they are not all gone," If you have a chance in the future, I will take you to find them. ”

Li Duoyu patted his chest and said, "I believe in your husband, in the future, when I do the business over there, I will take you to find your relatives." ”

"How is it possible, it's easy for them to come, how can we get there."

Zhou Xiaoying took out the letter: "But the address given on it is very vague, it says Tai Hang Road East, Kowloon Tong, there is no specific address, how can we find it." ”

"Why, I don't believe in your husband's ability, I told you, I will take you to find relatives, then I will definitely help you find it."

Li Duoyu pressed up.

Zhou Xiaoying, who knew what Li Duoyu wanted to do, pushed him away: "Don't make trouble, I was so angry today that I came early." ”

"No, it won't."

Zhou Xiaoying nodded.

"Ugh."

Li Duoyu was deflated on the spot, and a lot of happiness between husband and wife was often blocked by the physiological level.

And after arriving here in Jinling, Li Duoyu always remembered the old man who lived in the military village, after all, he received a pumping machine from someone's family, and he had to help someone complete it.

Go to his hometown to help him see, if anyone knows the whereabouts of that Ma Xiumei.

Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying had just finished wiping their bodies and were about to go to bed early, but there was a quick knock and kicking at the door.

"Open the door."

"Open the door." (End of chapter)
