My male god, your character has collapsed!

Chapter 347: Past Life and Present Life Looking Back at the Homeland
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are many cars on the highway. I originally planned to get home at 2 pm, but seeing the endless queue of cars in front of me, I estimated that it would take four or five o'clock.

Fortunately, they were not in a hurry and chatted as they headed home. During this time, Li Shiqi said very little and basically sat quietly in the back seat. Su Qing, on the other hand, talked quite a lot. She even said to Zhou Yuwen, "Hey, Zhou Yuwen, your family is having a party tonight. Can you take me with you?"

Zhou Yuwen said you are not pretty, but you think you are pretty?

"Why should I take you with me?"

"Let me go see your interesting cousin again?" Su Qing said with a smile.

After all, they have been married for two years, and Su Qing knows everything about Zhou Yuwen's family situation.

Zhou Yuwen's family is considered a large family in the local area. His grandfather was the director of the Public Security Bureau transferred from Huai'an. Then the family expanded in the Xuhuai area and had six daughters and one son.

Zhou Yuwen's father is the third child in the family and the only male. He was rather stubborn when he was young and suffered for two years outside. Later, he was ridiculed by his grandfather, but he gritted his teeth and was admitted to the Procuratorate with the first place in the city. Now, more than 20 years have passed, and he is considered a well-known figure in the city.

As for Zhou Yuwen's aunts, they were doing pretty well thanks to the help of their grandfather. They all worked in public institutions and had a stable income. Some of them married well-off women and moved to other cities.

The only one who is probably doing badly is my eldest aunt. She had conflicts with my grandfather and married a workshop worker. Then with the development of the times, everyone is rising steadily, but my eldest aunt's family is still standing still.

Actually, my aunt is quite stubborn. At the beginning, she was unwilling to ask for help from others and thought that having backbone was enough. However, practice makes perfect. Reality tells everyone that backbone is useless. Without a good foundation, everything will be in vain.

My aunt has only wanted to prove one thing all her life, that is, it is useless for you to be successful, my children are well educated!

So Zhou Yuwen's cousin Peng Xiaoyong has always been the top student in the class since he was a child.

But to be honest, Zhou Yuwen doesn't envy Peng Xiaoyong at all.

Because Zhou Yuwen had a deep impression that when all the children were young, they could go out to play, but Peng Xiaoyong basically had endless homework every day. Wearing thick black-framed glasses, he sat on a simple desk in his great aunt's house, in a two-room shabby building allocated by the factory, with piles of endless test papers on it.

Because there is indeed a gap in the social classes of each family, the relatives really can't play together, especially my eldest aunt's family. We have no common language at all, and even when we get together for dinner, we don't know what to talk about.

The younger generation of kids don’t understand this at all, but my eldest aunt would tell her own children that they didn’t want to play with us because we had no money.

So Xiaoyong, you have to fight for your dignity!

You must study hard!

You have to stand out!

My cousin is also very capable and has received a full scholarship since he was young.

After graduating from high school, I even went abroad to study.

Of course, the money for going abroad was pooled from each family.

That was also the first time that my aunt bowed her head and begged someone for help.

But she was also very tough when asking for help. She said that she had never asked anyone for help in her life, but for the sake of her son's future, she had to bow her head.

"This is what my life will be like, but I can't let my son stay here. Since my son is capable, he deserves the best!"

Zhou Yuwen was deeply impressed by this sentence because he was in high school at that time.

My aunt came to my house and said this to my father through gritted teeth.

Zhou Yuwen didn’t know how much other families gave, but his family gave 100,000 yuan.

Because Zhou Yuwen's father Zhou Guobin still hoped that his nephews would have a bright future, his father was particularly kind to his cousin at that time.

It’s a pity that we had some conflicts due to the demolition of our house and we didn’t keep in touch afterwards.

Demolition is another big issue.

My grandfather was considered a person of status at that time. He had a large house with three floors up and three floors down in the center of the city, and it was located on the roadside. It was not a self-built house that could be called luxurious, but it was really big.

Anyway, Zhou Yuwen's impression is that when he was a child, many people rented his house. At the most, there were seven or eight households. There were young couples who came to the city to work, and there were parents who brought their children to the city to study.

Zhou Yuwen was quite happy during that time.

Because he was the son of a landlord, the children who rented the house basically all revolved around him. Although children did not know what it meant to please, this was vaguely the situation at the time.

Zhou Yuwen still remembers that the side house was rented to a single mother. What impressed him most was that she kept changing boyfriends. Her daughter was about the same age as Zhou Yuwen, and she pestered Zhou Yuwen every day, kissed him secretly, and said that she wanted to be Zhou Yuwen's wife when she grew up.

She also told Zhou Yuwen at the time that this was... and then pointed at her private part and said some nonsense.

Anyway, Zhou Yuwen didn’t understand anything at that time and didn’t want to understand anything.

At that time, Zhou Yuwen’s mind was full of Contra, Super Mario, and MapleStory. Zhou Yuwen thought these women were really annoying!

The single mother rented a house in her own home for three months, then left with her daughter and a man.

Then later on, Zhou Yuwen had actually seen this person before. She was his childhood sweetheart.

At that time, Zhou Yuwen was in high school and went shopping with his classmates.

Then a woman setting up a stall kept staring at him.

Zhou Yuwen didn't take it seriously at first.

Until the girl grabbed him and asked, "Are you Zhou Yuwen?"

Zhou Yuwen was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to remember her.

At that time, there was a stall selling balloons. Zhou Yuwen was surprised to see her and asked her why she came here.

Then she smiled sheepishly and said, "I've spent some money. I'm going out with my man to earn some money."

This incident left a deep impression on Zhou Yuwen at the time, because the girl was the same age as Zhou Yuwen. As a result, if she didn't say hello to Zhou Yuwen, Zhou Yuwen would call her aunt.

We chatted a bit later.

She was quite enthusiastic about Zhou Yuwen and asked him, "Where do you work?"

Zhou Yuwen felt very superior at the time and said, "Oh, I'm still studying."

When Zhou Yuwen finished speaking, the other party was obviously stunned for a moment, and the look of old friend in his eyes dimmed, and it took him a long time to say "oh".

And then nothing else happened. When Zhou Yuwen was playing with balloons with his friends, she had not asked Zhou Yuwen for money, but Zhou Yuwen still gave it to her.

Zhou Yuwen's home has always had tenants, and when he was in elementary school, there were many people playing around him.

Then when I was in high school, a group of older sisters who came to the city to work kept teasing me.

This kind of thing continued until he went to college, when Zhou Yuwen left his hometown.

Later, Zhou Yuwen's house was demolished.

2016 was the year when the real estate market was at its peak.

Zhou Yuwen didn’t know how much money he had lost in compensation because his parents never mentioned it. Anyway, his family had seven or eight properties, including the large flat in Jinling.

Because of this incident, Zhou Yuwen was often criticized by his cousins.

What this means is that the house belongs to grandpa, so logically, he should be divided among them.

But my uncle's family did a really bad job in this regard.

He didn't get any share of the demolition compensation; he kept it all for himself.

Zhou Yuwen didn't know what to say about this, because that was the fact.

Zhou Yuwen was shy and even discussed this issue with his mother specifically, asking, "Our house is being demolished, could you at least give some share to our aunts?"
Before I could finish my words, my mother scolded me back.

Mother said, what does this have to do with you?
I was young and ignorant at that time. Now when I think about it, I realize that it has nothing to do with me. It is better to be an ostrich.

However, because of this incident, Zhou Yuwen's family became somewhat estranged from their relatives. The most estranged family was definitely his aunt's family. His aunt pointed out this incident many times at the dinner table, making everyone feel very uncomfortable.
Of course, this will happen 16 years later.

It's only been 14 years now, and the relationship within the family is still very harmonious.

This year, Zhou Yuwen's cousin just came back from the other side of the ocean with a master's degree. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and was well-dressed in a suit. He was considered a handsome man.

That was the first time Zhou Yuwen brought Su Qing home. It was really fun. Peng Xiaoyong spoke in a mixture of Chinese and English. Two of his three sentences were about this and that. I think the country doesn't do well in this regard. Things are like this and that abroad.

Then Zhou Yuwen's father asked him what he thought about his work.

Peng Xiaoyong is also lucky.

He graduated in 2014 with a master's degree.

Zhou's father got news that there was a vacancy in the Municipal Party Committee Office, and Peng Xiaoyong just met the requirements, so he didn't even have to take an exam.

However, Peng Xiaoyong was very arrogant at the time. He chuckled and said that it was not necessary because he had already received offers from many companies.

"Regarding this point, I feel that China is not doing well. I feel that people in China attach too much importance to fixed salaries and always think about stability. It is better to be abroad."

"Oh."

Having said this, Zhou's father did not continue speaking.

Peng Xiaoyong worked hard in a big city for six years, and finally bought his first house in the big city at the age of 19.

It turns out that in the context of the great era, everyone is just a speck of dust that cannot be any smaller.

In 19, Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing both divorced, but Peng Xiaoyong was still unmarried.

Alas, the past is like smoke, and everything is still vivid in Zhou Yuwen’s mind, as if it happened yesterday.

Su Qing was still quite impressed by Peng Xiaoyong, and this time she wanted Zhou Yuwen to take her to see him again.

That's because she remembered how Peng Xiaoyong looked when he saw Zhou Yuwen bringing Su Qing home for the first time. Peng Xiaoyong's glasses almost fell off.

He was not surprised at how beautiful Su Qing was.

Instead, he was shocked that a man like his cousin could actually find a girlfriend!
Yes.

In his opinion, besides himself, he is talented!
People like Zhou Yuwen have nothing special except their wealthy parents.

How come he has a girlfriend?

What Zhou Yuwen remembers most at that time was that Peng Xiaoyong's cousin asked three questions in a row: "Is this your girlfriend?"

This made Su Qing laugh to death. At night, while resting her head on Zhou Yuwen's waist and playing with her phone, she said, "You see, your cousin thinks you are not worthy of me."

A few people were chatting and started walking at 11 o'clock in the morning. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, they had not even traveled halfway.

I rested for a while in the service area and went to the toilet.

The service area was crowded today.

The two girls took their time going to the bathroom.

Liu Shuo took advantage of this time to smoke a cigarette outside the car and handed one to Zhou Yuwen, but Zhou Yuwen shook his head and said he didn't want to smoke.

Ask him if he is tired of driving?
Liu Shuo grinned and said he was not tired.

Zhou Yuwen said, "Come on, I'll drive in a minute."

"Brother, I'm really not tired."

Liu Shuo said.

Zhou Yuwen said, Okay, okay, I know.

Many students in this service area study in Jinling, and then find a part-time job in Jinling after the final exams, so three or five students know Liu Shuo.

When they saw Liu Shuo, they didn't even bother to believe their own eyes and hurried over to say hello.

And he calls me Brother Shuo all the time!
Before he could finish his words, the cigarette was already handed to Liu Shuo.

Liu Shuo greeted them naturally and casually, and then introduced Zhou Yuwen to them.

"Are you Brother Zhou?"

Given their level, knowing Liu Shuo is the best they can do.

However, they had heard a lot of legends about Zhou Yuwen.

So when they learned that the person in front of them was Zhou Yuwen, the founder of Xu Huaihui, and that he had single-handedly benefited college students, their eyes lit up and they felt like they had seen their idol.

Zhou Yuwen's performance was also quite calm. He nodded slightly and asked, "Going home?"

"Correct!"

"Where is home?"

After asking, I found out that they were all from the same county.

Then we talked about which high school he went to.

Zhou Yuwen and Liu Shuo are both in the No. 1 middle school in the county, but the others are in middle schools in townships, so they cannot continue their admission.

But Zhou Yuwen discovered that Liu Shuo's Xu Huai meeting was really big. At first he thought there were only a few people, but as they talked, there were almost thirty people. Of course, there were only a few in a county, but they were all assigned to various areas of Xu Huai. After seeing Zhou Yuwen and Liu Shuo, they all came over to greet them respectfully.

Liu Shuo felt that this was a very impressive thing.

But Zhou Yuwen always felt something was weird.

After coming out of the service area, Zhou Yuwen started driving.

Su Qing asked Zhou Yuwen: "Zhou Yuwen, who were those people who greeted you just now?"

Zhou Yuwen said: "I don't know him."

"I don't know you and I say hello?"

"Sister-in-law, you don't understand this. These are all my brother's men! What do you think? Awesome, right?" Liu Shuo said with a grin.

Zhou Yuwen told him to stop talking nonsense.

Liu Shuo said this was the fact.

He said, "Although you are not in Xuhuai Club, our brothers really admire you! Hey, brother, but then again, I found that there are quite a few brothers in our county. Do you think we should call them all out and get together during the New Year?"

While Liu Shuo was talking, he had actually started chatting in the group.

Zhou Yuwen asked him how many there were.

Liu Shuo said several hundred.

Zhou Yuwen said: "Don't mess around."
