Zhou Yuan arrived at his hometown in Anyun Town. Before he entered the gate, Zhou Yuan saw the old locust tree in the yard with its snow-white flowers, which seemed to awaken his childhood memories.
Zhou Yuan still remembered that he and Zhou Heng planted this locust tree together.
Now, this locust tree is twenty years old, right?
"Zhou Yuan, why are you here?"
As soon as Zhou Yuan entered the yard, Yang Xiping, who was drying clothes in the yard, immediately saw Zhou Yuan and hurriedly came over.
Zhou Yuan said: "I came to see him."
"Your grandpa is in the house, come in quickly!" Yang Xiping said quickly.
Zhou Yuan nodded and walked into the room.
At this time, Zhou Zhiguo was sitting in the room watching TV. Compared with when Zhou Yuan first came back, he was much older.
Zhou Yuan walked in, and Yang Xiping said: "Dad, Zhou Yuan is here."
Zhou Zhiguo suddenly turned his head, his body trembled when he saw Zhou Yuan, and he quickly stood up from the sofa.
"Zhou Yuan, are you here?" Zhou Zhiguo said.
Zhou Yuan nodded.
However, he and Zhou Zhiguo didn't have much to say. They put the gifts they bought on the table and Zhou Yuandao said, "I just came back from Huanglong Island. I stopped by to see you. How about it? Are you still used to living here?"
Zhou Zhiguo used to drive a luxury car and live in a good house, but now he lives in his hometown, which really makes people feel uncomfortable.
However, for Zhou Zhiguo, it is a good choice to come back here to retire.
Zhou Zhiguo replied: "Habit, Zhou Yuan, please sit down quickly, I've seen you on TV."
Zhou Yuan took out a bank card from his body and handed it to Yang Xiping, and said to Yang Xiping: "The money in this card is a little bit of my gratitude. Take good care of him in the future. I probably won't come here often."
Yang Xiping smiled awkwardly and said: "You are Yuanlong Zhanzun and you have a lot of work to do. Don't worry, your second aunt and I are here, so you don't have to worry about your grandpa. We will take good care of him."
"That's good."
"Then I'll leave first." Zhou Yuan said.
"Zhou Yuan, I'll see you off." Yang Xiping quickly followed him out.
Zhou Zhiguo did not come out.
He himself knew that he had no face to face his grandson.
Originally, after finally returning to his hometown, he should have stayed longer, but now this place is all unfamiliar to Zhou Yuan.
When he was a child, he and Zhou Heng planted this locust tree together. It had grown so tall in twenty years, but Zhou Heng was long gone.
Here, contact with Zhou Yuan was lost.
...
After leaving Zhou Zhiguo, Zhou Yuan returned to Yancheng again, and then went to Mangshan Cemetery to visit Zhou Heng's grave.
After experiencing what happened on Huanglong Island, Zhou Yuan understood more and more what the purpose of human life was.
Perhaps for many people, it is to be with their loved ones and to enjoy this beautiful world.
But for many people, this world is actually cruel.
Even though he tried his best, he still couldn't completely change the world.
What can be done has been done.
Zhou Yuan stood in front of Zhou Heng's grave, knelt down and kowtowed a few times, then stood up and stood for a while before leaving with Tang Mo.
Just after coming out of the cemetery, Zhou Yuan was about to get in the car, but at this moment, Tang Mo's body suddenly shook, and he almost fell to the ground.
