When Zhou Yan heard this, he immediately said: "Grandma, I don't know her name yet or where she is from. Don't worry, I'll tell you after I find out."
Grandpa Yang Hanlin kept reading with his head down, and said, "Hanzhi, don't worry about it. His wife always wants others to fall in love with him, and he himself also falls in love with others."
Zeng Hanzhi sighed and felt very irritable. When his son-in-law was alive, he worked hard to support Modu Electronics Group. Who knew that the couple went on a business trip and the ship sank at sea, and they were both buried at the bottom of the sea, leaving only 12-year-old Zhou Yan.
Yang Hanlin and his wife felt sorry for him, retired early, and took him back to his hometown of Nanfeng Town from Modu, so Zhou Yan lived with his grandparents for 10 years.
His studies were fine at first, and everyone said he was a child prodigy. Who would have thought that he ran away for a trip when he was 15 years old, and only came back three years later that he started to wander around, either in the mountains or in the city. Don't expect him to do farm work, he basically stopped doing it.
When his grandfather scolded him, he ran away and did not come back for ten days and a half. Yang Hanlin was so angry that he whipped him many times.
"Zhou Yan, your parents are watching you in heaven. Why don't you learn to be worthy of your parents?"
"They are not in the sky, they are in the sea!"
Every time he scolded him, he would smile playfully, or hug Zeng Hanzhi's arm and say: "Grandma, you are old, don't be angry, I am hungry, what are you worried about?"
Can grandma not be worried? After the death of Zhou Yan's parents, Zhou's Electronics Group quickly went bankrupt. Later, the government paid some money to buy it out, and the family house was also foreclosed on.
Zhou Yan's biological uncle, Zhou Lihe, came to Nanfeng Town to see Zhou Yan. He said with embarrassment that the family was also very difficult. The three children had to be fed and clothed, and they all relied on subsidies from his father-in-law.
Yang Hanlin knew everything, so he said to Zhou Lihe: "Every family has its own difficulties. Zhou Yan has been with us before he became an adult. When he grew up, he found a wife here to start a family. Come and see if you have time. If you don't have time,
Just live a good life at home."
At that time, it was fashionable for young people in the city to go to the countryside to start their careers, so Zhou Yan happened to stay in Nanfeng Town.
There was no way he could go back to the big city of Modu, so his grandfather Yang Hanlin thought that Zhou Yan could study and then leave Yunshan. But that was not possible. He could cultivate the few acres of land that his family had given him and live a stable life.
He said so, but Zhou Yan was too disobedient. He slept until he woke up naturally every day. Zeng Hanzhi took him to the ground, and he lay under the shade of a tree and counted the birds in the sky.
He went wherever he could to cool off and became a famous lazy man in Nanfeng Town.
When he was scolded, he went to the mountains to catch pheasants and rabbits. He was more clever than others. Every time he went to the mountains, he could always catch some small animals and come back. He could sell them on the street for 10 to 8 yuan, which would last for a month and a half.
He also said with a smile: "I won't open for three years, and I will only open for three years."
Yang Hanlin was so angry that he kept shouting that "the family is unlucky." He originally spent all his life savings to exchange for a few acres of private land reclaimed by others, giving him multiple roads. Unexpectedly, such good land was often left uncultivated.
Yang Hanlin and Zeng Hanzhi negotiated with him to sell the land and set up a shop on the street for him to do some business, but he refused, saying that it would be better for him to sleep comfortably with three melons and two dates.
Zhou Yan's reputation for eating well and being lazy has spread throughout Nanfeng Town.
Although there is no one more handsome than Zhou Yan in the entire Yu County, the most important thing for villagers is that a man is down-to-earth and willing to work. Otherwise, how will he live his life in vain?
The girls in the town don’t even want to marry him. They are too lazy to work and don’t want to open a shop. How can they be supported by women?
What's more, there are a pair of professors and elders. In this era, whoever is poor is the most glorious. The one who has been illiterate for generations in the family is the most glorious.
Therefore, Zhou Yan, who is 22 years old and has an outstanding appearance, will immediately shy away from anyone who inquires about his marriage. If he is good-looking, can he support her or can he support her?
No one wants to marry their daughter to such a man.
It’s not that no one wants to marry him, there are many women who like him and ask matchmakers to tell him that they want to marry him.
But Zhou Yan turned around and left: "That's it, you still want to marry me? I'd rather be a bachelor than live alone."
There was no one who could reach a high level but a low one, and he kept going back and forth, and Zhou Yan insisted on dragging it out until he was 22 years old, and he was still alone.
This time Er Gouzi said that he had fallen in love with a girl, and Zeng Hanzhi felt that he should seize the opportunity to find a wife for his grandson, otherwise he would be sorry for his dead daughter and son-in-law.
As soon as Zhou Yan saw his grandmother's posture, he immediately rode his bicycle and ran away: "Grandma, Ergouzi and I will go into the mountains to have a look later. We won't be back for dinner during the day."
As soon as Sayazi left, Yang Hanlin and Zeng Hanzhi were furious, but there was nothing they could do.
After running outside, Ergouzi said to Zhou Yan: "Brother Zhou, are we really going into the mountain?"
Zhou Yan said: "Of course, although I am messing around, I don't lie."
Ergouzi curled his lips, why didn't he lie? He showed off his face in front of a girl and spent all 50 yuan in one go. Now that he has no money, he wants to go to the mountains to make up for it!
But he didn't say it out loud. That's what my friends are like. You have to shut up when it's time to shut up. Otherwise, how can everyone have fun?
Zhou Yan and Er Gouzi walked around in the mountains. Er Gouzi watched him skillfully walk to various traps on the mountain, collect the three pheasants and one rabbit that were tied up, and then set the traps again.
Hurry down the mountain.
"Are we going down the mountain so quickly?"
"Well, let's go to the city and sell these chickens and rabbits."
"Why do you have to go to the city to sell? Aren't all the old crooked shops in town closed?"
"Don't worry about it. I want to go to the city to sell it. I can't keep selling it to Er Lao Wai. I heard that there are several new private restaurants in the city now, and the price must be higher than what Er Lao Wai, a second-rate dealer, offers."
Er Gouzi thought it made sense, but why did he feel that Zhou Yan was going for that girl?
As the saying goes, don’t tell the truth once you see through it.
Ergouzi's name is Chen Xia. He has three siblings in his family. The two above are the youngest. He is spoiled and pampered at home, so he hangs out with Zhou Yan all day long.
The two arrived at the county town together. Zhou Yan first went to the Yuxian Hotel. He put his bicycle outside the door, went in and asked the lobby manager: "Do you have a girl here to deliver fish?"
The lobby manager saw him looking dignified and holding a bunch of pheasants in his hand, so he said, "Do you want to sell pheasants?"
Zhou Yan said: "Well, but I would like to ask if a very beautiful girl came to sell mandarin fish today?"
The lobby manager said disdainfully: "Ah, are you talking about her? Her fish are too expensive. Our manager has contacted the mandarin fish in Yelong Lake, which is much cheaper than her fish."
Zhou Yan listened for a while and figured out that Liang Xiaonan had sold more than a dozen mandarin fish at Yuxian Restaurant. The restaurant had contacted a cheaper one and now they no longer want her products. She has now cooperated with Wanghulou Restaurant.
He immediately turned around and left.
The lobby manager said: "You can keep your pheasant, we accept all this kind of game here."
Zhou Yan said arrogantly: "You want to take it? I don't want to sell it to you anymore."
When I was out, I happened to meet Zhang Ming riding his bicycle. I looked at the bunch of pheasants in his hand and asked casually: "Why didn't you keep the pheasants?"
Zhou Yan lifted the pheasant, looked at Zhang Ming and said: "My pheasant can lay golden eggs. If you can't afford it, you should buy a captive egg."
Zhang Ming frowned, Zhou Yan didn't look like an authentic rural youth, he had an evil streak, and he happened to be a gangster on the street.
His face darkened, he stopped talking to Zhou Yan, and said to the lobby manager: "Go and ask Mr. Xie and tell him that we have new mandarin fish here today."
Mr. Xie is here, no matter what kind of hooligans you are, you have to stay down!
Zhou Yan originally wanted to walk, but stopped instead.
