Become a god after divorce

Chapter 429 Zhou Ying
Zhoujia Village, located in Tuying Town, more than 40 kilometers away from the southern suburbs of Fushi City, is one of the most remote villages in the Fu District under the jurisdiction of Fushi City.

The village is located in Dashangou. There are only about 100 households, less than [-] people, and because most of the young people go out to work, only the elderly and children stay in the village, so there are less than [-] people.

Due to rapid urbanization, there are more and more villages like this.Normally, Zhoujia Village is like a dead and deserted village, only when it comes to weddings and funerals, the village will be more lively.

The end of the new year is approaching, and several old people have left the village in a row. Almost every day, they can hear the sound of suona and see the funeral procession.

In the early morning, in the innermost courtyard of the village, several strong laborers are setting up a coffin shed outside the house. Through the old-fashioned glass windows, several elderly rural women can be seen "broken filial piety" (a kind of The northern rural funeral custom, that is, to use white cloth to make filial piety for those attending the funeral).

In the main room outside, two stools were used to support a coffin board, on which the body of the old lady of the Zhou family was covered with a white cloth, and a blue tile was pressed in the center of the white cloth.

A chipped earthen basin was filled with unburned paper ashes, and several women in filial piety were crying and burning the paper.

"Yinger, don't cry, call your cousins ​​and ask them where they are." Outside the door, a middle-aged man in his 50s walked in. Already covered with a lot of dust stains.His figure was tall and thin, as if only a skeleton was left, his skin was rough and dark, his eyeballs bulging out were bloodshot, and he looked very tired.

Zhou Ying, who was kneeling in the main room burning paper, got up quickly when she heard her father's words, wiped away her tears and said, "Got it, Dad, you should hurry up and have a meal, there is porridge and pickles that were just fried yesterday on the table in the Westinghouse. "

"Leave me alone, I'm not hungry. After you make the phone call, you go to the canteen at the entrance of the village to get two cigarettes. The accountant said that there are not enough prepared, which is not enough."

"I see, Dad, I'll make a call first." Zhou Ying said, took out her phone and walked out of the main room, walked through the funeral shed that had just been built, came to the open space in the yard, and called her cousin Zhou Na.

After the phone rang a few times, Zhou Na's voice came.

"Hello? Zhou Ying, you told Third Uncle that we are cleaning up and we will drive there in a while."

"Oh, that's fine, Sister Na, my dad told you to come here early, and I have to salute grandma in the morning, so don't miss the time." Zhou Ying reminded in a cautious tone.

"Okay, got it, it's okay, I'll hang up first."

Listening to Zhou Na's words on the other end of the phone without any hint of sadness, Zhou Ying felt both angry and helpless.Looking back at grandma who was lying in the main room, there was another look of sadness in her eyes.

"How is it? Ying'er, did your third uncle come out from home?" Zhou Ying's father, Zhou Linge, came out of the main room, and turned his head to ask while helping the people who set up the coffin.

"Yes, they said they haven't come out yet and are packing up." Zhou Ying said with a hint of anger in her tone.

Dad called early, but the third uncle's family hadn't left yet. Thinking that grandma loved their family the most, Zhou Ying felt even worse.

In the past few years when grandma was ill in bed, she lived in her house and relied on her parents to take care of her.Dad still has to go to the city to work, and most of the caring work is done by his mother, but even so, it is not worth the few visits that the third uncle's family has throughout the year, and the things that are not very valuable .

Of course Zhou Ying knew what was going on in her heart, but her third uncle's family had the best life. The third uncle was the deputy director, the third aunt was also a retired teacher, and her cousin Zhou Na also worked in the unit in the city. iron rice bowl.In contrast, her father, Zhou Linge, is a part-time worker on a construction site, and her mother is also a farmer at home. The family's income is low, and their lives are difficult and poor, which makes people look down on them.

It's okay for outsiders to look down on him, even relatives at home.Every time during the holidays, the people talking at the wine table are always my third uncle who was the deputy director, and my second uncle who made a fortune by raising pigs.Although her father Li Wenge is the eldest son in the family, he can only accompany him with a smiling face at the wine table, and is often teased by them for drinking.What's even more hateful is that these two uncles, every time they saw their father drinking too much, they would make fun of him, and they would relish it as a joke for a long time afterwards.

This is especially true for her cousin. According to the customs of her hometown, women are not allowed to sit at the main table, which is where men drink.But every Spring Festival dinner at home, she is the only special case, she can sit at the same table with elder men, just because she is the only "promising" person in the Zhou family who works in the city.

Zhou Ying still remembered that during the Spring Festival last year, Zhou Na came to their house. That seemed to be the most arrogant time for her, driving a big Mercedes, wearing famous brands, and talking about her husband who was engaged in real estate in the city.Zhou Ying has also heard about that person named Zhou Jinping. Although they have the same surname as Zhou, he is a well-known real estate boss in Fuzhou!Zhou Na married such a person, so she naturally enjoyed a good time at home.

It's just that Zhou Ying looked down on that Zhou Jinping from the bottom of her heart, and felt that she was far from her former brother-in-law.Although Zhou Na kept claiming that she divorced her brother-in-law Xu Fuhai because she was bored with him, Zhou Ying knew in her heart that she had gone to college anyway, so she always had some insight.My ex-brother-in-law Xu Fuhai is much stronger than that Zhou Jinping!And she had heard a long time ago that her cousin's life was a bit messy, she was not clear with other men outside, maybe her brother-in-law found out about that, and the two got divorced.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ying felt a little bit grievous for her brother-in-law Xu Fuhai.Although she doesn't have much contact with Xu Fuhai on weekdays, they have met at home several times a year for so many years of family gatherings.Different from the arrogance and superiority of her cousin Zhou Na, Xu Fuhai gave her the impression that she was always so polite and humble, and he was especially patient and caring towards children.She still remembers when she was young, he took herself and several other children to play in the river ditches and fields in the village. Those warm scenes were deeply imprinted in her heart, and still come to mind from time to time. middle.

"Yinger, why are you standing there in a daze, I told you to buy cigarettes, did you buy it?"

The voice of her father Zhou Linge came from behind, pulling her thoughts back from the memory.

"Oh, no, I'll go buy it right away." Zhou Ying left a sentence and walked outside quickly, taking off her filial piety while walking.

It is an old custom in the village that people wearing filial piety cannot enter other people's houses casually, because it will bring bad luck to others.Zhou Ying has been taught this since she was a child, so she is very conscious.

Watching Zhou Ying disappear at the door, several middle-aged men who were setting up the coffin also chatted with Zhou Linge.

"Old Zhou, Zhou Ying is going to be 24 or [-] this year, are you looking for a partner?" Lu Dachun held a ten-yuan pack of inferior texture in his mouth, and while he was making wooden stakes for the support of the coffin shed on the ground, Asked casually.

"What are you looking for? This kid is stubborn. He insists on going to some kind of graduate school and studying at home every day." Zhou Linge snorted and said, but his voice couldn't hide the sense of pride and showing off.

"What kind of postgraduate study? Didn't you read it online? There are college students and graduate students everywhere, and academic qualifications are worthless. If you want me to say, you still have to take the civil service exam. Not to mention holding a stable job, you still have face outside. " Lu Dachun said, threw the hammer in his hand aside, took out another cigarette and refilled it for himself.

"If you want me to say that you should be your own boss! What can you do with being a civil servant? What do you do with a few thousand dollars a month? You don't even know how long it takes to buy a house in the city!" Zhou Lincai, the second child of the Zhou family, came out of the hall. He took out a box of hard Chinese from his pocket, took out one and smoked it for himself, and said while smoking.

"It's good to be the big boss, Boss Zhou made a lot of money from the pig farm last year." A villager who came to help in the crowd joked.

"It's so-so, only a hundred or eighty. Last year's market was okay, but this year's is not good. The price of pork has dropped sharply. If you don't make money, you just lose money." Zhou Lincai waved his hands and said, but there was a sense of complacency on his red face. color.

"If you want me to say, nothing is better than finding a rich partner, just do it in one step. Look at the girl from the old Zheng's family in our village. They found a big boss in the imperial capital. I heard that there are hundreds of millions in the family! When I went back to the village two days ago, what was the name of the car I drove? I didn’t remember it once, but it was said to cost more than 200 million!” Lu Dachun said while smoking a cigarette, his eyes frowning from time to time as he spoke. He glanced at Zhou Lincai who was at the side.

Seeing a hint of displeasure on his face, Lu Dachun went on to say: "That girl from the old Zheng's family looks like a firewood stick, can she compare with Zhou Ying from our family? But in the nearby ten miles and eight villages you Go to inquire about it. In terms of looks and stature, Zhou Ying said it was ranked second. I don’t think they dare to say that they are ranked first? Old Zhou, I said that you should also give the girl a snack. Don’t just think about working every day, how can you have children? important life event? Isn’t it.”

Lu Dachun's words seemed to have found a suitable topic for everyone at the scene. Suddenly, even a few rural women who were helping around there gathered around, discussing in a hurry, vying to give Zhou Ying introduced the object.

"His third brother, I know a young man who works for the government in the town and his family is rich. I heard that there are two houses in the city."

"The Dachengzi next door to our village is engaged in farmhouse entertainment. I heard that he just got divorced a while ago. That guy has a lot of money!"

"I know a..."

……

Hearing these people's gossip, Zhou Linge was a little annoyed.His daughter is 24, and marriage has always been a big rock in his heart.Every time I asked her, she didn't give an accurate answer, she just said that she was still young and didn't want to think about it yet.But she is not in a hurry, Zhou Linge is in a hurry.In his opinion, although his daughter is good-looking and handsome, she can't stand her age and grow up year after year. There are several children in the village who are as old as her, so how can he not be anxious?
But it's useless to be anxious, this girl has listened to them for everything since she was a child, but she is stubborn about this one, no one can say it will work, she has her own ideas.

Zhou Linge listened to them talking for a while, found an excuse to interrupt, and went back to the house to get busy.

The old mother lived to be more than 80 years old before leaving, which can be regarded as the end of her life.After serving on and off the bed for so many years, I have done my best.When this day really came, although Zhou Linge felt sad and sad, but at his age, these things have long been understood.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Xiaona, call Fuhai and inform him of the news of your grandma's death. When your grandma was alive, she always praised him for this or that, and it was good for him. I think if he knows the news , I will definitely come here. Remember what Dad told you, you have to hold back your temper and play more emotional cards with Fu Hai!" Zhou Linsheng said to his daughter Zhou Na.

There was no sadness on his face when he received the news of his old mother's death.Living in the city for so many years, seeing her only a few times during the holidays every year, the mother who is getting older and weaker has gradually become a symbol in his memory.

In the old Zhou's house, he lived the best life in this room, and he was still a moderate leader living in the city. All of this gave him an inexplicable sense of superiority. The two elder brothers and the old mother in the village unconsciously carried a sense of looking down.

Although Zhou Linsheng had received the call a long time ago, Zhou Linsheng was not in a hurry. When he thought of the dilapidated yard in his old man's house, he didn't want to go there, so he counted the time, and if he could delay it for a while, it was best to wait for him to go. , everything is almost busy, when the time comes, he will burn a stick of incense to the old lady and burn some paper for meaning.

At this moment, what he thinks most in his mind is how to restore the relationship between his daughter and Xu Fuhai as soon as possible, which is a major event related to the prosperity of their old Zhou family!

After thinking about it, Zhou Linsheng connected these two things together.

Having been with this uncle for so many years, Zhou Linsheng knows him very well, and he also knows in his heart that his family has not treated him well for so many years, so he must have resentment in his heart.But if there is one person in the entire old Zhou family that he can care about, it is probably his old lady.

Every time she went to a gathering in the village, the old lady was full of praise for him, she praised everyone she met, and she was especially willing to chat with him.Zhou Linxuan was sure that after Xu Fuhai knew the news, he would not remain indifferent.

Hearing her father's words, although Zhou Na felt a little reluctant, she still took out her mobile phone and called Xu Fuhai.

"Hello? Xu Fuhai, let me tell you something. My milk is gone. We are going to Zhoujia Village for the funeral. Are you going?"
