Chapter 167 Return
Sure enough, not long after, in mid-October, Zhou Yan's father came back.
That day, Zhou Yan happened to be at home and heard a sound outside, so she came out to take a look.
I saw her father bringing Brother Alin back, and the two were directing the servant to put the things somewhere. When I saw Zhou Yan, the two of them were stunned. They looked quite embarrassed.
"What, how can I get to know my family? I don't even know my own daughter?"
Zhou Yan walked over quickly, her tone was fierce. If she hadn't seen her eyes turn red, she would have thought she was sarcastic!
"Yanyan has become more beautiful again, I almost didn't recognize it." Zhou Lin recovered and said in a doting tone.
"Hehe, yes, our Yanyan is getting better and better. Dad bought you a lot of jewelry. I thought it was very beautiful, but when I saw it, the jewelry was not worthy of our Yanyan." Zhou Shou said with a smile quickly.
"I've become better, but you old man have become ugly. Look at your face, what's going on? I'll bring you those pearl creams. Isn't it useless?" Zhou Yan said with her mouth.
She was both angry and sad. She hadn't seen her this year, and her father had become thinner and very dark. She obviously wanted to care about her father, but the words became like this when she spoke.
"It's okay, Dad, what's the good looking thing? Dad used that pearl ointment, really, ask Brother Alin, Dad, Dad, I really used it, even if the sun is too sunny in that place, the pearl ointment is drying like this. However, it's still useful. Look at A Si and the others, they are all burned into carbon, hahaha..."
Zhou Shou has lived for decades, but no one has ever been afraid of this daughter. When she is unhappy and frowns, he feels so distressed that he dares not be disobedient, otherwise this girl will definitely be unhappy.
The pearl ointment was developed by Yanyan himself. When he left last year, the girl had been tolerant for several days and prepared a lot for him and Alin. If he didn't use it, it would have disappointed her hard work.
So, he and Alin both wiped it before going to bed at night. No matter how tired or tired he was, he would not fall asleep at once, otherwise he would feel uneasy. These are all things from women's houses. He and Alin were seen by others, but they were joked, but they would not be embarrassed. This was done by his daughter himself, and they wanted it yet!
Even before he came back, he found that everyone was white, and they were all very black. The place where they were, the sun was shining all year round, and it was so hot that everyone was black like carbon. So he and Alin really didn't realize that they were black. Compared to those people, they were all white.
But when they came back the way, they found that they were still very dark! Before he came back, he shaved his beard and tidied it up, but he was afraid that Yanyan would dislike it.
The girl is her own child. How could he not know her temper? The more he dislikes her, the sadder she feels. When she sees them, she feels that they have suffered a lot, and she feels even more sad.
"Hmph! It's still bad for your place, so just treat it as a treasure and stay there all year round!" Zhou Yan said hummingly.
Don't think she didn't know. She had checked everything. The place where her father went was rich in coal mines, and jewelry and raw stones, but the place was bare mountains and it was so hot everywhere.
The coal mine cannot be mined easily. His father just stayed there, doing jewelry business, mining raw stones, processing, designing and selling them. The whole route was made by his father himself with his people.
So sometimes I run around, but I spend most of my time staying in Yaocheng. There are not many people in that place, empty and barren, and I don’t sell much anything, so I can’t eat well and sleep well, so life is naturally hard.
"Oh, dad is back now! And dad is staying at home this time and won't leave." Zhou Shou said excitedly.
"Really? You, you won't go to that place anymore? Then your business?" Zhou Yan asked in surprise.
She really didn't expect that her father had been working for so many years, but why did he suddenly stop doing it? Did something go wrong?
"Yanyan, let me and my cousin come in first! We are quite tired when we stand here!" Zhou Lin said with a smile.
"Oh, I forgot, you guys go in by yourself! You can go in by your own family with my permission!" Zhou Yan chopped her feet and complained.
She forgot this for a moment, why are these two people still stupid? It is obviously their own home, so why do you have to ask her before you dare to go in!
"Isn't this a timid feeling near home, I didn't dare to go in!" Zhou Lin joked.
After saying this, the three of them went in. It was so cold outside. When Zhou Yan got so warm inside, she realized that it was still very cold outside. She was excited just now and didn't even feel it.
Zhou Yan saw that the two of them were not wearing much and their ears were cold red. She felt distressed and angry in her heart. These two people were just two fools!
Fortunately, he had just boiled a pot of hot tea, so Zhou Yan quickly poured two cups and gave them to the two of them. He was about to freeze and was stunned.
"Here, warm your hands." Zhou Yan's tone was a little gentler.
"Thank you, Yanyan." Zhou Lin smiled and thanked him with a smile.
Zhou Shou just smiled foolishly, and his daughter was still caring! Although Yan Yan didn't say anything, she felt very sorry for them.
"It tastes good!" Zhou Shou praised.
"That's natural. This is the flower tea I made myself and the flowers planted in our yard, so it's very fragrant." Zhou Yan said happily.
She just loves to do these things, and she has nothing to do at home, but she just planted a lot of flowers and made them with those flowers and plants.
She made some rouge or something, or flower tea. She couldn't use it before, so she gave it to her aunt, but she couldn't use it. Now she can give it to Sister Yang. Sister Yang likes to drink flower tea very much, and Mrs. Wang likes it too. As many people get one point, it's almost the same.
"Hehe, my daughter is amazing."
"By the way, you just said that you will be at home in the future and will not go to Yaocheng anymore?" Zhou Yan remembered the question just now.
"Well, if you don't go, you can't say you won't go at all. You just spend most of your time at home and occasionally go there." Zhou Sho replied.
"Then what business is there?"
"Dad has been there for several years, and he has more or less a connection. Over the years, he has become familiar with those paths, so there is no problem as long as someone looks at it. So, Dad just goes there occasionally and doesn't have to stay there all the time."
The place is poor, and the people there are either poor and timid people who are afraid of trouble, or they are not afraid of death, trying their best to divide their business with them, such as outsiders. So he has been watching there for many years, for fear that his subordinates will not be able to handle it.
There are three forces in that place. Seeing that he is doing big business, they all want to get a share of the pie. He worked hard outside and left his precious daughter and his youngest son at home. Then he earned money for business, how could he get anything?
Over the years, we have fought in secret, and we have fought in numbers on the outside, and we have fought in secret. We have been injured and several brothers have died.
He was not a stingy person, so he took Alin and stayed there day and night. It has been five years since he arrived. He had suffered only a small loss, but he had no big loss at all.
Originally, things would not be solved so easily, but this year, by chance, he helped one of the elder brothers of one of the gangs, which was a kind of kind of kind that involved human life.
The reason why he helped him was that he was the only person with some morality. Although he was also a person who was willing to live for money, the importance of having morality in his heart, not the kind of person who was unforgivable.
As a result, he did not read it wrong. This time he saved the man an extremely important brother, and the man helped him.
He formed an alliance with him, solved the other small gangs, and reached an agreement. What their gang does in the future has nothing to do with him, but he will protect his business for one day in Yaocheng.
Of course, his business over the years is impossible to let him do things in vain. He will give him a share of the money every year. Although it is not a lot, it is also a lot, which is enough for their brothers to spend half a year. In the remaining half a year, they have other sources of money.
As soon as this matter was resolved, he left the confidant he had trained over the years there, and there were confidants watching in various processes. Basically, he was not here and there would be no problems.
Therefore, he doesn't have to stay there all the time. He has treated his children badly over the years, and it's time to come back and compensate them.
"You finally know, it should have been like this for a long time! Just keep some people there. The business is so big, and you are all busy alone, how could you be busy!" Zhou Yan complained.
They are obviously doing business in the town and they are doing very well. She and Taotao don’t have to support them, so there is no need for her father to work so hard.
"Okay, okay, it's because my father was confused before, so this is not a repentance! I will stay at home in the future to make you feel more relaxed. Taotao, I owe him too much." Zhou Shou sighed.
When Zhou Tao was four years old, he left home to do business outside. The child had no mother, and it was nothing like he had with him. Throughout the year, he could only see him during the Chinese New Year.
Although the child was careless and didn't complain about him, he had basically no feelings for him. But it was no wonder that the child had no impression of him since he was a child, and he only had a few days at home during the Chinese New Year every year.
Therefore, he doesn't have his father in his life, and he doesn't need it, so he doesn't complain, he's just polite.
"I don't have much hard work. My uncles and aunts are nearby and can help me a little. Taotao is also easy to worry about, so I didn't want me to worry about it. The main thing is that if you don't come back, when Taotao gets older, you really don't need you as your father."
Zhou Yan blamed her father for this, she really had nothing to do with herself and didn't suffer much grievance. In the town, she was rich and powerful, and her uncle and aunt took good care of her, so there was no big problem.
But Taotao is different. Taotao has no mother since childhood and is a sensitive child. But when she was four years old and still so young that even people can't remember it, her father left home.
After a few days of returning a year, Taotao was unfamiliar with him and afraid at first. Later, he realized that he was a little older and knew that he was his father. But at first he was probably complaining, but later he became numb and indifferent to his father.
Whether or not my father comes back has no effect on him. In Taotao's mind, maybe his father is just a word. Knowing that there is such a person, there will be no other. It is far less important than a friend.
Taotao is ten years old now and is still a child. If his father had been with him at home for a long time, Taotao might have recognized this father. After all, boys still have a kind of dependence on their father.
If Dad didn't come back, Taotao would be a teenager in a few years and he would be a big child, maybe he wouldn't need the feeling of fatherly love.
"Hey! I know, my father is very unqualified and I owe you a lot. In the future, I will compensate you well. Taotao is going to school now, right?"
Zhou Shou sighed. Although Yanyan was stubborn, she still cared about him. However, Taotao was different. He had no feelings for him. From now on, until he grew up, he would definitely compensate him well and let him be a child with a father.
"Well, it's not the holiday yet, I'm going to school and come back at noon." Zhou Yan replied.
"Then I'll pick him up at noon! It's very cold outside, so I'll pick him up better." Zhou Shou said excitedly.
"No need, it's cold today. In the morning, my uncle sent someone to drive a donkey cart to take Asheng and Taotao. It was better at noon, so he ran back with a few friends, and it happened to be exercised and warmed up."
This is usually the case, and it was the same last winter. It was very cold in the morning and I went to make a donkey cart. I ran back by myself at noon, which just warmed my body. And running more is also good for my health.
Sister Yang said that it is not good for these children to sit in the school all the time! They should exercise more on weekdays, which is good for their health and also helpful for reading.
And she knew that Tianbao was not tall at the beginning, and he just got up to run every morning. He didn't sit there and read all the time, but he didn't delay reading and exercising.
In the past two years, Tianbao's size has skyrocketed. He used to be much shorter than Taotao! Now he is about the same tall as Taotao. Moreover, he is also very good at studying and has always been the first in the exam.
"It's good that this is the case. Boys should exercise more so that their bodies will be strong! I haven't seen each other for a year. I wonder if Taotao has grown taller?" Zhou Lin asked with a smile.
He has always been doing business with his cousin and came back together during the Chinese New Year. He basically lives at Yanyan's house. He has a good relationship with Taotao that boy.
That kid is actually a good seedling for martial arts. He is also tall. Last year, he was already very tall. He is taller than his peers. I wonder if he has grown a little taller this year. At this time, boys grow very fast.
