Chapter 18 Changes
Zhou Yongcheng didn't know how to answer. He used to be unable to find a girlfriend because he didn't have money, and now he didn't want to find one, but he had to answer his aunt's question.
"No suitable one was found."
"You're not young anymore, you're already twenty-eight this year. If you don't find someone now, it will be harder to find someone after you turn thirty."
"Understood, Second Aunt."
Not long after, my second uncle returned from outside on his motorcycle.
The uncle and nephew exchanged pleasantries upon meeting.
At noon, after lunch, Zhou Yongcheng took some incense and paper money to pay respects to his parents.
Zhou Yongcheng has little memory of his father, but his memory of his mother is unforgettable. His mother raised him alone, supported his education, and endured a lot of hardship.
Zhou Yongcheng stayed at his mother's grave for a long time before returning to his second uncle's house.
Then they brought gifts to visit the elderly. There weren't many elderly people in their area; there were only six grandparents.
There are no elders in Zhou Yongcheng's lineage. His grandparents died early, but his grandfather's younger brother is still alive. His grandfather's younger brother is the father of his second uncle, whom Zhou Yongcheng calls his second grandfather.
After visiting the old man and strolling around the village, Zhou Yongcheng realized that there were actually very few people at home in their dozen or so households; most of them had gone out to work.
Most of those at home are elderly; there aren't many young people, and some who are the same age as my second uncle are still working outside.
Like the family next to my second uncle's house, almost the entire family works outside, leaving only one woman at home with two children. Many families are like this.
Zhou Yongcheng, a young man at home, only saw Zhou Yongqiang. From their conversation, he learned that Zhou Yongqiang was engaged in animal husbandry in the village, raising about ten cattle.
When they returned to their second uncle's house, their second uncle had already gone to work, their second aunt was busy at home, and Zhou Yongqiang was also quite busy.
After telling his second aunt, Zhou Yongcheng walked to the location of his home.
My second uncle's house is not far from Zhou Yongcheng's house, just a few steps away, at the entrance to the village.
Although Zhou Yongcheng has not been home for many years, there are basically no weeds around the house. It must be that his second uncle comes to clean it up regularly, otherwise the house would have been surrounded by weeds long ago.
He'd put the house issue aside for now; he needed to get his reseller business on track first, as he still needed to transport supplies to the Zhengyangmen area.
Before transporting supplies, we need to rent a warehouse in the city, secure accommodation, purchase supplies, and so on. There are many things to do.
In the evening, after dinner, Zhou Yongcheng and his second uncle's family sat in the courtyard chatting.
"When are you planning to leave?" my second uncle asked.
"I don't plan to go out; I intend to develop my career in the city," Zhou Yongcheng said with a smile.
“Jiangnan Province is indeed too far away, and it’s inconvenient to travel back and forth. We have no other requirements for you. Once you meet the right person, you can settle your personal life,” Uncle said.
"If you meet the right person, personal problems are easy to solve; if you don't, there's nothing you can do."
Previously, my second uncle and aunt often talked about personal matters when they contacted Zhou Yongcheng, and now that he has returned, they still bring up this issue.
The older generation has an inexplicable obsession with marriage, constantly urging their younger generation to get married as soon as possible, as if they can only put down their burdens after their younger generation gets married.
They are unaware that the social atmosphere has long been corrupted, and marriage has lost its sanctity in the eyes of many young people. Marriage is treated like child's play, and it is common for people to get married today and divorced tomorrow.
People nowadays value fame and fortune more than chastity; as long as they can make money, chastity doesn't matter.
Is it possible to find a woman in modern society who is capable of providing a stable life? Yes, it depends on individual luck. There are very few women who are capable of providing a stable life; it takes an immense amount of good fortune to meet one.
The saying goes that marrying a good wife can bring prosperity to three generations, while marrying a bad wife can ruin three generations—this is no joke.
"Don't be too picky," Auntie said.
“My second aunt, it’s not that I’m picky, it’s that she’s the one who’s picky about my looks.”
Zhou Yaya, the daughter of the second uncle sitting to the side, burst out laughing.
"Laugh, laugh, what's so funny? I'm not talking about you, but you're already twenty-five. How come you still haven't found a boyfriend? When I was your age, you were already several years old."
Zhou Yaya was very upset; had she been caught in the crossfire?
Zhou Yaya is the eldest daughter of her second uncle's family. After graduating from university, she got a job teaching at a junior high school in the town through connections, and has been teaching for about two years now.
"Brother, what are you doing outside? Driving such a luxurious car." Zhou Yaya quickly changed the subject.
Zhou Yaya is neither fat nor thin, has long hair, is about 1.6 meters tall, and her appearance is inherited from her second aunt, making her very beautiful.
"I didn't do much. I did some side work in addition to my factory job, like carrying baskets."
What is a basket?
"It means that the middleman makes a profit from the price difference."
As they were talking, Zhou Yongqiang came over with his wife and children.
Zhou Yongqiang introduced his wife to Zhou Yongcheng and had his child call Zhou Yongcheng "Uncle".
It was my first time meeting a younger person, so I had to give them something in return. Luckily, Zhou Yongcheng was prepared and gave me a red envelope.
Gradually, more and more people came to visit my second uncle's house, mostly elders, with few young people of the same generation.
Most of the women who came were wives of brothers, and they brought their children. What embarrassed Zhou Yongcheng was that he didn't know any of his brothers' wives. He only learned their names and which brother's wife they were by being introduced to them by his second uncle.
He had been away for seven or eight years and hadn't returned; most of his brothers were already married.
Few of them in their generation are still unmarried.
There's also my second uncle's youngest son, but he's still in college, so he doesn't count.
When the men came to my second uncle's house, Zhou Yongcheng gave them a pack of cigarettes, and all the children received red envelopes.
The atmosphere was very pleasant as they sat together and chatted; no one asked Zhou Yongcheng for money because he had become rich.
I'm just saying that if possible, I'd like to bring along some of my brothers; there's no moral blackmail involved.
Zhou Yongcheng will certainly not forget the help everyone has given him and his mother. Except for a few families, almost everyone in the village has been very kind to Zhou Yongcheng's family.
He also remembers that when he was a child, almost every household in the village would give his family a piece of meat after slaughtering a pig, and they would also help harvest the corn and potatoes they grew.
Zhou Yongcheng will never forget these things, and he will repay them slowly.
He stayed at his second uncle's house for one night, and after having breakfast, he drove away.
He has already told his second uncle that he will come back in a while and will have the house rebuilt when he returns.
Upon arriving in the city, Zhou Yongcheng got busy. First, he rented a warehouse, and then he made a large-scale purchase. Initially, he only purchased rice, flour, modern instant noodles, and a batch of daily necessities.
Let's send the goods to Zhengyangmen Xia Shijie first and open the supermarket. He said he would deliver the goods in a couple of days, but it's been five or six days already.
As evening fell, after dinner, Zhou Yongcheng drove to the warehouse.
There was no one left in the warehouse at this time. Zhou Yongcheng entered the warehouse, closed the door from the inside, and entered the mysterious space with his mind, preparing to enter the world of Zhengyangmen.
Suddenly he saw something that he found unbelievable.
