Shannon Island Lord

Chapter 25 Back to the Village!

In an old tile-roofed house, Zhou Yu got up at six o'clock.

Speaking of which, he didn't sleep well.

Because that night, what he thought in his mind was all about the life of himself and his parents here, which made it even more difficult for him to sleep.

It was more than six o'clock in a daze, and he got up.

After washing up and offering incense to his parents, Zhou Yu opened the door.

When he opened the door, he happened to see two men talking in the alley outside the door.

Zhou Yu saw them, and they naturally saw Zhou Yu.

"Uncle Zeyun, Uncle Yongzhuang, are you talking?" Zhou Yu greeted them.

The chubby man Zhou Yu called Uncle Yongzhuang asked in surprise, "Ah Yu, when did you come back?"

The two middle-aged men walked forward and looked at Zhou Yu happily.Then the thin black man called Uncle Zeyun said, "Why did you lose so much weight within a month after going out?"

This village has only one surname, that is Zhou, and has a population of seven to eight thousand people, which can be regarded as a relatively large village nearby.

And this week, Zhou Zeyun and Zhou Yongzhuang, their neighbors in the same alley, are also relatives of the same ancestor, although there are several generations separated.

"Uncle Yongzhuang, I came back last night to do something. You two wait!"

Zhou Yu turned around and returned to the room, and took out all the tobacco, alcohol, tea and other things in the space.

He bought this in Jiangzhou, and it was a gift for those who helped their families.

When my parents had an accident, and afterward, these uncles worked a lot, and it would be unreasonable not to send some gifts.

He each came out with a gift bag of tobacco, wine and tea, and said with a smile to them: "Uncle, it's a rare time to come back, these are my thoughts, you two don't hold them back.

For so long, the two of you have helped my family a lot, so don't refuse, or I won't dare to go to your house for dinner in the future. "

Zhou Yu didn't give them any intention of refusing, so he hung the two bags in their hands, and said, "I still have to send it to my other uncles, so don't refuse it! Let's not talk for now."

After speaking, he went back to the house, leaving behind two elders who couldn't laugh or cry.

"This kid, it's been hard for him!" Zhou Zeyun sighed slightly. In less than a month, he lost a lot of weight. They thought it was because of missing his parents.

"Hey, this kid is promising. He not only went to university, but also has a decent job. It's just a pity that Kunshan and his wife are not blessed, and they can't enjoy the blessings of their children and grandchildren." Zhou Yongzhuang also sighed.

Zhou Zeyun shouted to Zhou Yu's room at this time: "Ah Yu, come to my uncle's house for lunch! I will ask your aunt to cook more dishes."

"Okay, then I won't be polite." Zhou Yu came out, holding more than a dozen gift bags in both hands.

Zhou Zeyun and Zhou Yongzhuang didn't ask too much, knowing whose house Zhou Yu was going to.

"Uncle, are you home?"

Zhou Yu came to the door of the same old house and yelled inside.

It's not that he won't go in, but he can't go in.After all, there are many rules in his hometown, and his parents' affairs are less than three months old, so they are generally not allowed to visit other people's homes.

So he could only shout at the door.

Just as Zhou Yu finished shouting, a middle-aged woman came out.When the woman saw Zhou Yu, she quickly wiped the water in her hand with the skirt cloth, and asked happily before leaving; "Xiao Yu, when did you come back? Come in and sit down."

But Zhou Yu smiled and said, "No, aunt. Has my uncle gone out? But I came back this time to thank my uncle and aunt for their help a while ago. Come, I hope my uncle and aunt won't refuse this little gift... ...Hey, well, I have to go to other uncles' houses, so I won't stay here."

Seeing that the other party wanted to refuse, Zhou Yu put down the things and left.

Along the way, Zhou Yu went to the home of the oldest elders in the village, except for the nearest elders. After all, he didn't understand anything about those trivial matters back then, and they were all arranged by these elders.

Naturally, more tobacco, wine and tea were sent.

It was already noon when the delivery was finished.The things I bought are basically given away, except for those who are not at home, they are also sent by someone.

When I got home, I saw Zhou Zeyun waiting at the door from a distance.

Zhou Yu hurried over.

Zhou Zeyun also saw Zhou Yu coming, and also threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it. Before leaving, he took Zhou Yu's hand and said, "Let's go, your aunt has finished the dishes."

But Zhou Yu said, "Uncle, you know I haven't been three months yet." What he said in the morning was just a polite word, so of course it can't be true now.

"Okay, uncle, I'm just in this white business, and I don't know about it yet? I don't even care. You, a college student, even a science student cares about this?"

"Isn't this the rule!" Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Zhou Zeyun glared at Zhou Yu: "Show rules with your uncle?"

Zhou Yu heheed, without refusing, and said, "That's good!"

Zhou Zeyun's house lives in front of his house, so it is naturally very close.

He also drank a little wine with Zhou Zeyun at noon.There are two children in Zhou Zeyun's family, a boy and a girl. Both of them are seventeen or eighteen years old, and they both went to study in the town. Naturally, their two parents-in-law are left in the family.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhou Yu said to Zhou Zeyun: "Uncle, I'm leaving tonight. However, I'm going to work abroad, and I want to take my parents' ashes away. Do you have any suggestions?"

"I knew something was wrong with your kid coming back."

As Zhou Zeyun said, he took out a cigarette and gave it to Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Quit, no more."

After Zhou Zeyun ordered it for himself, he took a sip before he sighed and said:

"Have you made up your mind? Putting your parents' ashes here means returning to their roots. If you want to go abroad to work, don't you plan to come back later?"

Zhou Zeyun spoke very slowly, but Zhou Yu could hear the blame in his words.

People of the older generation attach great importance to the idea of ​​returning to the root, and Zhou Yu is naturally aware of it.

But he can't tell them many things, and he won't let them come back after his parents are resurrected, otherwise how will he explain it?

"If you don't have time to come back after working abroad, don't worry, I'll take care of your parents' tomb. Just don't forget to come back and take a look. Your grandparents have been here for generations. You can't forget. After all, this is where your roots lie. "

Hearing the undeniable meaning in Zhou Zeyun's words, Zhou Yu didn't mention it again. If he and his parents don't come back in the future, this tomb doesn't matter.

He thought for a while and said, "Uncle, then this house will be given to you in the future..."

"Stop talking nonsense! This land belongs to your family. I won't move your uncle, and I will watch it for you. You don't want anything. What do you want to do? Do you want to forget even the root?"

Seeing that Zhou Zeyun lost his temper, Zhou Yu immediately comforted him: "Uncle, don't worry, I will just listen to you. After that, I will trouble you more. After I make money, I will come back and invest in my hometown."

Zhou Zeyun nodded and said: "It doesn't matter whether you invest or not, as long as you are doing well outside. Brother Kunshan is the only one left. You are doing well, and they will rest in peace. Just remember to come back during Qingming! Yes It's..."

When Zhou Zeyun said this, he paused for a moment. After taking two puffs of cigarettes, he asked, "In Jiangzhou...have you visited your uncle?"
