Chapter 2: The Zhou Family

When I got home, I parked the motorcycle under the big osmanthus tree outside the house, just put the car well, and before I entered the house, I heard footsteps from the side house, Zhou Shaojin followed the sound, and saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy walking out of the house, it was his younger brother Zhou Shaoxuan.

"Brother, you're back. Zhou Shaoxuan saw Zhou Shaojin scream, his face showed joy, and he looked a little happy.

Today's Zhou Shaojin is eighteen years old, and Zhou Shaoxuan is four years younger than him, that is, fourteen years old, in the second year of junior high school in the town, but although he is only fourteen years old, he is now nearly one meter seven tall, and he is also very handsome, but unlike Zhou Shaojin, Zhou Shaoxuan is biased towards the sun, and compared to Zhou Shaojin, the skin is also darker.

"Hmm" parked the car, Zhou Shaojin also smiled and responded to his younger brother, and then walked into the side house, his parents were there, and his grandfather was watching TV, a spy movie: "Dad, Mom, Grandpa!"

Walking into the house, Zhou Shaojin called the three of them separately, and the three of them at this time also looked at Zhou Shaojin who walked into the house, with smiles on their faces.

Zhou Shaojin's grandfather is called Zhou Fu, in his seventies, with a pair of reading glasses, like an old scholar, in fact, Zhou Fu is indeed an older generation of intellectuals, his father Zhou Jianguo, about 1.75 meters tall, was very handsome when he was young, but now he is forty, the years have left a lot of nicks on his body, gray hair has appeared on his temples, there are many wrinkles on his face, he doesn't talk much, he belongs to the kind of person with a calm personality, Zhou Shaojin has always felt that his character is following his father, calm, biased towards reason, and his appearance is more inherited from his mother, his mother is called Yin Jinlian, she was very beautiful when she was young, even if she is forty years old now, There are wrinkles on the face, some of them look old, but they are still very good-looking, if it is not in the countryside, Zhou Shaojin believes that his mother will definitely amaze everyone if she dresses up carefully, especially her mother's pair of Danfeng eyes, which are particularly good-looking, this, Zhou Shaojin and his mother also have a pair of Danfeng eyes, and they are very good-looking, and even make people feel amazing.

It is said that there are many children with their mothers, Zhou Shaojin feels that this is not a lie, his pair of Danfeng eyes are completely a copy of his mother, but this word does not seem to be very applicable to his younger brother Zhou Shaoxuan, and his younger brother is also very handsome, but Zhou Shaojin feels that in terms of appearance, his younger brother Zhou Shaoxuan is more similar to his father Zhou Jianguo.

"It's back" "It's hot, sweat so much, blow down the fan...."Why didn't you play for a few more days, it's not fun..."

Zhou Shaojin found a stool and sat down, and when her mother Yin Jinlian saw Zhou Shaojin sweating profusely, she turned the electric fan to Zhou Shaojin and said with concern, while his father Zhou Jianguo didn't say much as always, although he had a smile on his face, but only three words came back, but his grandfather Zhou Fu asked him about his trip to the same school this time.

"It's not that it's not fun, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable going to other people's houses, and it's not good to stay for a long time. ”

Zhou Shaojin wiped his sweat with a wet towel and spoke.

"You're just like your father, and you can't get used to staying in other people's homes. ”

Yin Jinlian smiled when she heard this, looked at Zhou Jianguo, Zhou Jianguo showed a smile on his face, but he didn't answer, Zhou Shaojin's mouth cracked when he heard this, and he didn't say much, his character is like this, even if he is a good friend, he doesn't like to stay in the other party's house longer, especially when the other party still has family, he always feels a little restrained, it is not as casual as his own home, and even compared to staying at a friend's house, he prefers to live in a hotel by himself.

"Well, other people's homes are other people's homes after all, and other people have families, and they are definitely not as free and casual as their own homes. Zhou Fu said.

My grandfather said this, and my heart went to it. Zhou Shaojin gave his grandfather an approving thumbs up.

"It's still heart-wrenching, I see, the character of your grandparents and grandchildren has been passed down from one tendon to another. Yin Jinlian smiled when she heard this.

"By the way, your cousin grandfather has come back from the hospital, you can wait and take a look" After a while, Yin Jinlian spoke again and looked at Zhou Shaojin.

"Okay, I'll wait. ”

Zhou Shaojin responded, the cousin in Yin Jinlian's mouth is Yang Tai, the two families are not related by blood, but the relationship is very good, and because Yang Tai is the same generation as his grandfather, so Zhou Shaojin and Zhou Shaoxuan both call Yang Tai their cousin, although because of the rumors that Yang Tai is impermanent, many people in the village are reluctant to get close to Yang Tai's family, but Zhou Shaojin's family does not have too many taboos, whether it is their grandfather or their parents or them.

Perhaps the best relationship with the Yang family in the village is Zhou Shaojin's family, and the Yang family is also very good to Zhou Shaojin's family, especially Zhou Shaojin himself, in his memory, since he was a child, Yang Tai has always been very good to him, almost treating him as his own grandson, giving him anything delicious and fun when he was a child, Yang Yiyun and Yang Yue'e often took him when they were children, in their hearts, Zhou Shaojin has a good feeling for Yang Tai's family, and has a sense of gratitude, especially Yang Tai, who is also completely regarded as his own relatives and elders.

"Brother, I'll go with you later. Zhou Shaoxuan next to him interjected at this time: "I'll also go to see my cousin." ”

"Okay, let's go together. ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded, and the three people next to him, Yin Jinlian, Zhou Jianguo and Zhou Fu, smiled slightly when they heard the words of the two brothers, although they didn't say anything, they were still very satisfied with Zhou Shaojin and Zhou Shaoxuan's approach.

At this time, it was noon, it was the scorching sun, the clear sky was tens of thousands of miles, only a round of hot sun hanging, this weather was hot and scary, Zhou Shaojin planned to wait for the sun to be cloudy for a while before going to see his cousin, but before he passed, it was Yang Yiyun who came to his house first.

"Eh, Shaojin is back!" Yang Yiyun is a typical rural man, not tall, thin, dark-skinned, short-headed, a mouthful of blackened cigarette teeth, and all kinds of smoke smell on his body, walked into the house, first looked at it, saw Zhou Shaojin's eyes lit up, and then walked directly into the house, and was not polite, found a chair and sat down at the door.

"yes, just came back. Zhou Shaojin also responded with a smile, and then said, "Is my cousin at home, let's go over and take a look." ”

"Yes, your cousin Yue'e is also at home, but your cousin is a little confused now, don't take his words to heart when you go over. Yang Yiyun said, looking at Zhou Shaojin: "I just can't stand your cousin grandpa and came over." ”

"Why, Uncle Cousin, he is still ?... like in the morning" Yin Jinlian next to him interjected when she heard the words and looked at Yang Yiyun, the relationship between the two families is very good, and they all know about Yang Tai in the morning, Yang Tai just came back from the hospital early this morning and didn't know what was going on, and they were clamoring for Yang Yue'e and Yang Yiyun to prepare a shroud, incense paper, and coffin for him, and prepare for him for the future, which was still a lot of trouble in the village.

"But no, I talked to my dad for a few words, and he scolded me......"

Yang Yiyun said, speaking of this, his face showed indignation, he was indeed a little angry in his heart, he didn't know which tendon was wrong with his father Yang Tai, obviously the situation was good, but he asked him to prepare for him, which made him as a son how could he do it, not to mention that he was unwilling, and if he really did it, maybe people would say what he said behind his back, at least the charge of an unfilial son was probably to be carried, after all, Yang Tai's situation now seems to be very good, he is preparing for Yang Tai at this time, then in the eyes of others, isn't it his curse for his father to die!

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Yiyun's whole face was a little far-fetched and unsightly, and Zhou Shaojin next to him could clearly see that Yang Yiyun's mood was not very good at the moment, but he didn't say anything, but greeted Yang Yiyun loudly and took his younger brother Zhou Shaoxuan out, he planned to go to see Yang Tai, as for the house, it was left to his parents, grandfather and Yang Yiyun.

"Brother, you said that Grandpa Cousin wouldn't really know that he was going to die. When he went out and walked on the path to Yang's house, Zhou Shaoxuan next to him suddenly looked at Zhou Shaojin in a whisper and asked: "People say that when people are dying, they will have a special sense and can feel something, and I heard that there are still some people who will return to the light when they are dying.. Will my cousin be like that. ”

"You also believe these words, they are all made up. Hearing his brother's words, Zhou Shaojin replied.

"But I've heard people say that my cousin is impermanent, maybe it's true, and now I have a premonition..."

Zhou Shaoxuan was a little unconvinced by Zhou Shaojin's answer and continued, but was interrupted by Zhou Shaojin waving his hand.

"These are rumors, you can't be gullible, you have to remember that anything that you haven't seen with your own eyes can't be easily believed, even if sometimes it's what you see with your own eyes, it's not necessarily true. ”

Zhou Shaojin turned his head and looked at his younger brother and said solemnly, he felt that his brother's idea was very problematic, too credulous to believe rumors, this is not a good thing, the world is chaotic, there are too many true and false things, these require us to make rational judgments, gullible rumors, it is definitely not the right thing to do, although he is only eighteen years old, but he has been to Guangzhou for summer work in the first and second years of high school, and has experienced a period of time in society, so he is more aware of the complexity of society.

"Oh, got it. ”

Feeling the seriousness of Zhou Shaojin's tone, Zhou Shaoxuan shrunk his neck and didn't speak again, he was still a little afraid of his brother, and he himself had read the second year of junior high school, and he had already begun to understand the reason, knowing that what his brother said made sense, but in his heart, he still had some other ideas, because Zhou Shaoxuan felt that nothing would come out of nowhere, there must be a reason for so many rumors about Yang Tai in the village, but although he had other thoughts in his heart, Zhou Shaoxuan did not speak again.

Zhou Shaojin didn't say anything more, walked in front and walked towards the Yang family, his face was calm, but in his heart, Zhou Shaojin was not without waves.
