Indissoluble bond

"Come on, how many rooms are there, you can choose which one you want to live in." Father Zhou led them to a row of houses on the right side of the main hall.

The room on the left side of the main hall is where Zhou Yuan’s grandfather, uncle, and their husband and wife lived, so Zhou Yuan and Lu Liang’s room should be selected from the right side.

Because I informed in advance, the room was cleaned very clean.

But there is nothing inside, a wooden bed, a table, a chair, and a wooden washbasin in the corner on the wash stand, and above the wall in front of the table, there is a copybook with dragons and phoenixes dancing .

...the biggest problem is that there is nothing modern in this house, no electrical appliances, no sockets, not even a light bulb.

How should I spend the night?

Zhou Yuan lowered his face and randomly picked a room in a row.There is not much difference between these rooms, and the furnishings are similar, but some are ink paintings on the walls, some are copybooks, and the contents inside are different.

He has no interest in these, and the only thing that gives him some comfort is that it won't be hot here.

Unfortunately, this cannot hide the fact that his life here will be very boring.

After Lu Liang finished his selection, he directly lived in the room next to him.

After they put their luggage away, Father Zhou will take them to the town center of Shencun to see his supermarket.

Zhou Yuan's grandfather only watched them for a while when they entered, and then played sword in the yard.

His movements in sword practice are very monotonous, only picking, stabbing, chopping, and chopping, but his movements are crisp and neat, full of strength, and there is a sound of piercing the air when the sword is swiped.Moreover, his eyes are fierce, and he takes this matter very seriously. When ordinary people see his eyes, they will probably be terrified!

Father Zhou didn't dare to interrupt his sword practice, because the consequences would be very miserable, so he stood far away and said, "I'll take them to Uncle's shop to have a look, and I'll be back later."

His grandfather Shen You didn't stop moving, didn't even pause, and didn't blink his eyes, as if he didn't hear it.

But Zhou's father knew that he heard it, so he didn't wait any longer and took Zhou Yuan and Lu Liang away.

After a long time, he put away his sword, looked at the closed door, shook his head, and walked slowly back into the house.

The sun outside was not as scorching hot as usual. Zhou Yuan started to sweat as soon as he left the woods. Lu Liang was alright, but there was a little sweat on his forehead. Zhou's father was also sweating profusely, and the back of his suit was wet a lot.

"This weather, why is it so hot?" Zhou Yuan couldn't help breathing out, flapping his hand around his face, bringing up a scorching breeze.

Lu Liang looked refreshed, so he couldn't understand their irritability, so he joked seriously: "Probably because of global warming."

Zhou Yuan lamented again and again: "Ah! It's so hot now, how should we live in August? I think the global warming is going on, and if it keeps getting warmer, it will be the end of the world. By then, people all over the world will die of heat. "

Lu Liang was surprised: "It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Is this called exaggeration? Look at the news now. Some places are so hot that you can fry eggs and grill fish. It's really hot to death!"

Lu Liang stopped talking.

Zhou's father listened all the way, and thought it was funny: "How can you say that, if this is the case, then the ancients didn't have air conditioners and fans, so they didn't want to live?"

"But didn't the ancients also have ways to cool down? What about ice basins, ice mirrors, and water curtains? Let the servants play fans, and some poor people will be naked. There are many ways." Zhou Yuan retorted.

Father Zhou was neither smiling nor saying, "You still know this."

Zhou Yuan raised his head: "Of course, and I also know that in ancient times, there were people who died of heat."

There was a faint smile on the corner of Lu Liang's lips: "You can also learn from the ancients and go shirtless."

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, and remained silent for a long time before he lifted his shirt and quickly took it off, but he said something about him: "Oh, I really can't take it anymore."

"Here we are." Zhou's father shouted happily when he saw the car on the side of the road.

Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally saw the car.It's a pity that he was happy too early, because the air-conditioning in the car was turned off, and they left for a while, the car was extremely hot and the seats were terribly hot.

Father Zhou started the car and turned on the air conditioner, but he didn't ask them to get in the car right away. He waited until the car got colder before he let them get in the car.

Zhou Yuan couldn't wait to sit on it, and exhaled comfortably: "Refreshing!"

At this time, the temperature in the car had completely dropped, and the air-conditioning filled the entire car with a slight cool breeze, as if it were two worlds from the outside.

Lu Liang also got into the car unhurriedly.

After both of them sat up, Dad Zhou drove back the same way. Halfway through, he turned around and went the other way.

Zhou Yuan only felt tired, and when he got in the car, he leaned on the back of the seat and closed his eyes to doze off to replenish his energy.

Lu Liang looked out of the window and silently wrote down the route along the way.

After driving for about half an hour, Dad Zhou stopped the car.

Zhou Yuan changed from a false sleep to a real sleep, and was awakened by the sudden stop. He rubbed his eyes, but his mind was still a little confused: "Where is this?"

As he spoke, he yawned.

"Your uncle's supermarket." Father Zhou turned off the fire and replied without looking back.

Zhou Yuan was half awake in an instant, stretched his waist, and looked out the car window.

This is a big road with many vehicles parked on the side of the road, most of which are electric vehicles and bicycles.There are sidewalks on the side of the road, and many pedestrians walk on the road.

Next to the sidewalk is a row of shops, people come and go, and the flow of passengers is like weaving.

As I said before, this village is very modern, so when Zhou Yuan saw the huge square and tall buildings, he was not too surprised.

They got out of the car and crossed the road again, and came to a square, which was so wide that even if thousands of people were present at the same time, it would not be too crowded.

And right in front of the square, there is a four-story building that occupies a large area, and four large characters made of LED lights hang in the middle of the top floor - a department store supermarket.

Next to this supermarket, there is another office building that looks like it has at least forty floors.From some floors, you can see busy figures in formal clothes through the glass windows.

"This name..." Zhou Yuan was speechless.

Father Zhou smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "What's the matter with the name? I think it's very good, simple and intuitive."

Zhou Yuan curled his lips, but due to Zhou's father's gaze, he could only follow suit: "Yes, simple and elegant."

The corner of Lu Liang's mouth curled up, and his eyes swept over him more than once.

"Okay, let's go."

Father Zhou led them to the supermarket first.

The air conditioner was turned on in the supermarket, and as soon as he entered, he felt cool all over, Zhou Yuan's mood also improved a lot.

Dad Zhou took them around to a room behind the supermarket, and explained to them at the door: "There is a special financial department in the supermarket, you just come here to reconcile accounts every time you come, and someone else will take care of it." .”

"Then it's the same if we don't come?"

Father Zhou shook his head: "How can this be the same? We are our own family, but those are outsiders. The boss hasn't shown up for a long time. Maybe someone will think carefully. It's hard for them to move a little money. It's hard to find out at this time. It's up to you."

"The first is to intimidate, and the second is to check the accounts. I know that Liangliang is a science major with good grades. Although this is different from accounting, you will always count, right?"

Lu Liang nodded without saying a word, and Zhou Yuan was the only one who wanted to resist tenaciously: "But we are only high school students, what can we do? How can there be any deterrence? Those accounts may not be understood."

Dad Zhou raised his forehead and stared at him with hatred: "The deterrent I just need you to come around and let them know that you are the boss' relatives. As long as you have this, they will not dare to mess around. On the contrary, it is better for the staff to deal with it, they don’t care what happens to the boss, they just pay their wages as usual, but it’s different for those with real power.”

"I think what uncle said is right," Lu Liang agreed with his face, and persuaded Zhou's father together, "We don't need to do anything, as long as we come, that's fine."

Father Zhou looked at Lu Liang with relief: "You see, Liang Liang is very sensible."

Lu Liang smiled: "It's not that Zhou Yuan can't say it, it's just that the weather is too hot and he's in a bad mood."

Zhou Yuan glanced at him gratefully, he knew the reason, but if he could help him like this, it would not be in vain to treat him as his best brother.

Father Zhou didn't reprimand him any more, and acquiesced to Lu Liang's statement.

And began to answer Zhou Yuan's other question: "As for the question of checking the accounts, I will introduce you to an accountant. He is your uncle's most trusted accountant. When the time comes to check the accounts, just ask him."

"Is he trustworthy?" Zhou Yuan asked again, "Other people may betray, so uncle trusts him the most. At this time, won't he do something? Anyway, Lu Liang and I don't understand this. And everyone is in charge of him."

Zhou's father looked at him helplessly, and firmly denied: "Others may rebel, but he will definitely not."

"why?"

Not to mention Zhou Yuan, even Lu Liang became curious.

After all, the human heart is unpredictable and the most changeable, how can you be so sure?

Dad Zhou stopped talking and didn't explain the reason to them.

Then Father Zhou gave them some advice before knocking on the door and leading them in.

There is a large office inside, and there are many people working hard behind the desks. On the far right, there is another door, which is a personal office.

Father Zhou led them straight to the personal office. There was no house number outside the office. Zhou Yuan was a little puzzled, but Lu Liang guessed that there was probably Shen Qingnian's confidant accountant inside.

Father Zhou knocked on the door, and didn't push the door open until a deep voice came from inside: "Come in."

After they entered, the people inside didn't look up, but just ordered: "Close the door."

Zhou Yuan, who was the last to enter the door, was stunned and closed the door.

"hooligan."

Dad Zhou shouted.

Hearing this sound, the man who buried his head in the document looked up.

Only then did they see his appearance clearly.He looks to be in his 20s, at most 30 years old, with a square face, high nose, thick eyebrows, but a pair of sharp phoenix eyes underneath, each look full of momentum, and he has a thin lip.Overall, it looks handsome.

He was wearing a long-sleeved white shirt, and a tie was neatly tied around his neck. Coupled with his cold face, he showed a sense of abstinence for no reason.

It is not difficult to see that he must be wearing suit pants and leather shoes on his feet.

Zhou Yuan was shocked: "Aren't you afraid of heat?"

When he saw Father Zhou, Ah Fei's eyes flashed, and before he could speak, he frowned when he heard Zhou Yuan's words, showing great dissatisfaction.

Father Zhou also knew that it was impolite, so he stared at him again, then turned around, and explained to Ah Fei: "The two of them are Qing Nian's nephews, they will come here often during this period, and I will ask you to take care of them when the time comes. "

A Fei inspected the two of them, he was quite satisfied with Lu Liang, but he said directly to Zhou Yuan: "This one is fine, let's forget about the other one, just let him stay at home. It would be a disservice."

His outspokenness embarrassed Dad Zhou for a moment, but soon he returned to normal: "It's okay, he should also open his eyes, experience and practice, and you can punish him for his mistakes."

Ah Fei pondered for a long time before nodding his head and said: "Okay, I see."

This is even a promise.

Dad Zhou's heart fell to the ground immediately, and he was a little happy: "That's good, I'll thank you first, this kid has been naughty since he was a child..."

Every time Dad Zhou said a word, Zhou Yuan's face darkened a little, and in the end, his face was already black with blue.

Is this still my father?So you sold your son?

Lu Liang couldn't help laughing, and A Fei couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

"Okay, Dad, let's go after we finish watching." Zhou Yuan couldn't help urging.

"What's the rush? I haven't finished talking yet. By the way, this is A Fei. Just call him Uncle A Fei."

Zhou Yuan, who was rejected by Zhou's father, looked at A Fei angrily.Lu Liang obediently nodded to A Fei, and shouted: "Uncle A Fei."

Father Zhou looked at Lu Liang, and then at Zhou Yuan. The obvious difference in his attitude made him saddened: "Xiao Yuan, call someone."

Zhou Yuan reluctantly called out: "Uncle Ah Fei."

Ah Fei gave a "hmm" and accepted his belated politeness: "I think he is still a little polite, and his temper can be corrected."

His evaluation was the best tranquilizer for Zhou's father, and he immediately smiled: "Really?"

Seeing A Fei nod his head, he really believed it.

He didn't want to teach his son a lesson, but Zhou Yuan's temperament was too impulsive, immature, and irrational. Sometimes, it was easy to get into trouble.

Letting him change his character is the best choice.

Father Zhou and A Fei chatted for a while longer, during which A Fei has been doing two things at once, dealing with official business and chatting with Father Zhou at the same time.

Knowing the recent situation of the supermarket, Zhou's father saw that he was so busy, so he was too embarrassed to disturb him.

So he offered to leave, but Ah Fei didn't ask to stay, but just said to Zhou Yuan and Lu Liang: "You two come over tomorrow, and I will take you to familiarize yourself with the supermarket."

Naturally, Zhou Yuan and Lu Liang could not raise objections, so this matter was decided.

Father Zhou sent them back to the small road outside the old house, and then drove away.

Zhou Yuan and Lu Liang walked the road under the scorching sun and returned to the old house.

Looking at the house, it has cornices and tile roofs, white walls and green vines.For some reason, Zhou Yuan suddenly thought of the thin, thin and lonely grandfather, mixed with the coldness of this house, which made Zhou Yuan feel complicated and heavy.

His footsteps were still unable to move forward.
