cool autumn

Because of Zhou Huaning and Yuan Dingbang's upcoming engagement.The next day, Mrs. Zhou came over from Chunlin Town in a hurry, accompanied by Zhou Dafu and his wife.

Originally, according to the rules of the country, Yuan Dingbang would take the initiative to come to see his father-in-law, but he has to go on a mission these days, and the date of engagement has not yet been confirmed, so he can only trouble Zhou Dafu and his wife to come over by car to discuss.

All the way around, the old lady Zhou was in good spirits. On the contrary, Zhou Dafu and his wife felt a little motion sickness. After getting off the car for a long time, they couldn't recover. Later, Zhou Ran sent him to the hotel to rest. The old lady was picky. If they don't want to live outside, they stay at home.

When I met Zhou Huaning's family for the first time in April, I was inevitably a little cautious.Although Zhou Dafu and his wife still cared about her existence at the beginning, but seeing that she didn't affect Zhou Huaning's happiness, they let it go. On the contrary, the old lady liked this girl very much.

Zhou Ran didn't plan to tell Yuan's family the news that Zhou's family came to Xunyang City for the time being. At least it would be better to wait for others to calm down, take a good rest and meet again.

The old lady cooked the dinner herself. Zhou Huaning and Si Yue took Zhou Dafu and his wife to go shopping. The old lady was old and didn't like to go to places with too many people, so she stayed at home to accompany Zhou Ran.

In the scorching summer, the two chatted about homework while eating.

"Zhiyang is currently working in his father's fruit shop, and he seems to be doing well. He runs around every day to load and unload goods, which is better than your uncles and uncles," the old lady smiled while feeding Zhou Ran beef. Talking about things at home.

Zhou Ran couldn't figure out for a moment whether the old lady Zhou knew what happened to Zhou Zhiyang outside before, but since they didn't mention it, he didn't bother to start the conversation, so he just nodded sullenly and didn't answer.

However, halfway through the meal, the old lady changed the topic and talked about a major event that happened in Chunlin Town recently. Of course, she was quite proud of being the one who initiated the crime.

Recently, a group of people came to Chunlin Town, wandering around the old houses in the back mountain all day long. At the beginning, they just stated that they were here for sightseeing. After a few days, some people secretly came to inquire about the news of those old houses. up.

At the beginning, Zhou Huaping and Zhou Huacheng borrowed 2 yuan from Zhou Ran, not to mention whether they have paid back the money now, anyway, the old house has been taken to Zhou Ran. Coveting also just turned a blind eye and ignored it.

It was only later that the group of people saw that there was no way to open a gap from the locals, so they simply opened up and said that they wanted to buy all the old buildings in the old house and use them as the first location for the construction of a new shopping mall in the future.

Hearing this, Zhou Ran laughed a little, "I remember that there is still a large open space next to our old house, which is enough for building a shopping mall."

The old lady shook her head with a smile. Originally, there were some young people whose elders were gone and wanted to sell those ancestral houses. After a few days, none of them dared to mention it again.

There are many old rules in the country, such as ancestral graves, ancestral houses and old Fengshui are absolutely untouchable.

The building in the old house was originally called Zhoujiatun, and the people who lived there were all surnamed Zhou, but the later generations wanted to develop, and the talents inside moved to Chunlin Town one after another for the excitement and business opportunities outside. , built a house here and put down roots.However, the old house is still well taken care of, that is, the old buildings on the old site are well preserved.

No matter what the purpose of the group was, the old lady naturally ignored it at first, but they all came to her door, so she had no reason to see others come to her site to make trouble.

From the perspective of post-modern people, the buildings on the old house group still adopt the construction pattern and classic decoration of the Qing Dynasty, not to mention the rest of the private houses, just referring to the ancestral house of the old lady of Zhou. That spans an area of ​​more than ten acres. As a well-known local rich man, his own financial strength is naturally not to be underestimated. Whether it is the pattern decoration or pavilions and corridors, it also includes some westernized stained glass mirrors and so on. Today, this kind of building can be preserved so completely, which is completely a living cultural heritage, and it will be an important building that will be protected by the government in the future.

The old lady doesn't understand these things, but she has feelings for these old houses in her heart, so she gave it up to others so easily, especially when those people came for their ancestral house without saying a few words , directly sweeping people out of the door.

Of course, it’s not that those people didn’t spend money or efforts, and even spent a lot of money to ask the local magistrate to lobby, but in fact, except for those idlers, no one dared to touch this hard problem, waiting for those deposits to be cheated When they ran out of flowers, those lazy men retreated, and they didn't know where to hide. No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find a bird.

As a respectable old man of the Zhou family, the old lady spoke up at that time. If anyone dares to sell the old house, don't blame her for being rude.If she didn't know, the old house belonging to their family had the highest value among the large buildings.

Later, the clan sent a few local people to guard there, lest the group of people secretly want to do something bad, no matter what purpose they had for the old house, but according to the local saying , that is, they can't open the back door and let them squat behind the Zhou family's ass.

This town of Chunlin is located in a remote location, although the left and right sides are close to the sea, but the sea surface is dangerous and incidents of hitting rocks often occur, so there are very few large ships passing there, and the back is against the mountains, only the front can still pass.In terms of terrain, this belongs to the absolute pattern of one man guarding the gate and ten thousand men not opening.

During the Anti-Japanese War period, as long as the front door was blocked and the location of Zhoujiatun's back mountain was secured, outsiders basically couldn't get in.The older generation still has a strong sense of vigilance in times of peace. Leaving aside those old customs, it is impossible to sell that large building complex and give it to those people to occupy it.

Zhou Ran listened in a daze for a long time, except for silently mourning that those people shouldn't offend the locals so quickly, she curled her lips and ignored it.

However, when talking about this old building problem, he remembered that Lin Wangbei said some time ago that he would start the company's fund to shoot a movie or something. He probably wanted to find a few new actors to make the film so that the company's popularity could be improved. The script has not yet been set. However, if the situation is right, the scenery in Chunlin Town is indeed pretty good.

In the evening, Mu Wei treats guests.

Li Mingliang and Chen Haiqing were also invited together, as if they wanted to complete all the things they had always wanted to do but never did. Under the heavy music equipment, Zhou Ran could only watch her face become blurred under the flickering lights. When the two slid into the dark corner of the corner, Zhou Ran heard Mu Wei calling herself loudly amidst the noise. , "Hey, can we still do this next time we meet?..."

Zhou Ran no longer remembered what he said back then, but he still clearly saw Mu Wei's relieved smile.

It is estimated that Chen Haiqing and Li Mingliang were also keenly aware of something. When they left the skating rink, they kept asking Mu Wei if something happened at home or something. She who is so flamboyant will restrain herself a lot after leaving school.

Mu Wei just smiled, and took them to visit all the other places they didn't dare to go, game halls, disco bars...

By the time Zhou Ran dragged the crazy girl out of the bar that night, Mu Wei had already drank several glasses of wine. Just let him help Mu Wei go together, and Chen Haiqing hurriedly followed beside her.

Mu Wei smiled with her head tilted, and she was not annoyed by Zhou Ran's support. Although her face was red, she was not drunk, but turned her head to talk to Chen Haiqing with a little melancholy, "Haiqing, I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm leaving, and I don't know when I can meet you again..." I didn't look at the road, and I staggered and almost fell.

There were a lot of people in this bar, Chen Haiqing couldn't hear it very clearly, but he probably heard Mu Wei saying that she was leaving Xunyang City tomorrow, and wanted to ask, but this scene is not a good place to speak.

Zhou Ran carefully avoided the men and women around him, felt the phone vibrate a few times in his pocket, and before he could answer the call, he saw Mu Wei being bumped from behind, and seeing the lying posture on the ground, he was immediately frightened. He stopped, hurriedly pulled him up, and didn't bother to pay attention to the phone call anymore.

After leaving the bar, standing on the side of the road, Chen Haiqing was still dragged by Mu Wei and couldn't move. Seeing Zhou Ran ignoring her, Mu Wei still felt aggrieved, "Hey, Zhou Ran, I'm going abroad tomorrow. Come here Won't you come see me off?"

Compared with the environment inside the bar, the air outside is obviously much fresher. Zhou Ran took a deep breath, rubbed the center of his brows, and said a little annoyed: "I won't go, I will go with my mother tomorrow A visit to the Yuan family, besides, it's not like you won't come back, it's like saying goodbye to death, what are you messing around with?"

Mu Wei curled her lips, turned to hold Chen Haiqing and stopped a taxi, "I want to have a good chat with Haiqing tonight, Li Mingliang, can you come together, my house still has a few guest rooms that can accommodate people."

Chen Haiqing was taken away, so it was impossible for Li Mingliang not to follow, but it seemed that it would not be good to leave Zhou Ran alone, so Li Mingliang hesitated.

"You guys go back first, I have something else to do, so I won't go with you," Zhou Ran felt the phone in his pocket vibrate violently again, Zhou Ran hurriedly reached out to take out the phone, and casually told Li Mingliang, waved his hand and let him go. They go first.

The first call showed that it was from the hospital, saying that Grandma Zheng's pathogen had been found to match it, and asked Zhou Ran to go to the hospital tomorrow to take Grandma Zheng for a small examination, and to arrange the operation time depending on the day.

The second displayed number is somewhat surprising, -----110.

"Hi, hello, this is 110, xx district police station, do you know a man named Zheng Pingchuan? He got into a fight on xx road and is now detained in the detention center. Please come here in time to release him on bail." There was a formulaic serious voice.

Zhou Ran was silent for a while, looked at the time on his hand, and then replied in a low voice, I got it.

When I went to the police station and saw Zheng Pingchuan, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Zheng Pingchuan was sitting on a chair by the corner with a slumped face. Zhou Ran didn't know if he was injured, but he could see the little bruise on the corner of his mouth. I dare say that this kid won the fight and was sent to the police station instead. Yes.

Seeing the police, Zhou Ran stepped forward quickly, whispered a few words to him, and released him directly after paying the bail.

On the way back, Zheng Pingchuan remained silent for a while. Zhou Ran's face was too cold. He didn't speak, and Zheng Pingchuan didn't dare to speak. Later, when he got in the car and returned to the hospital, he dared to mention it in a low voice.

"I didn't provoke it first this time." Zheng Pingchuan said cautiously, and said again: "I was waiting for the car on the side of the road, and there was a girl standing beside me. I just pushed the person away, how would I know, who would have known that the person in that car would get out of the car angrily and beat me up, I... I can't be more angry." This kid grew up in the countryside, don't He may not look strong, but he is a first-class fighter in fights, and he will knock him down in two or three hits.

It's just that he didn't know that the man was powerful behind him. Before he could turn around, he was called by the man to the police station.

"Do you still remember who was the person who fought with you?" After getting out of the car, he walked a few steps toward the hospital gate, after thinking about it, Zhou Ran couldn't help but turn around and ask.

Zheng Pingchuan shook his head, but another image quickly flashed through his mind. He hesitated for a while, and when he was about to enter the ward, he pulled Zhou Ran's cuff and whispered, "I don't know that man, but I saw a man, he looked familiar, but I can't remember where I saw him. He was sitting in the car, and he was the one who called the people who took me into the police station. Oh, yes, I still I remember his license plate number, it was a black Chevrolet."

Zhou Ran thought about it for a while, only asked Zheng Pingchuan to leave the license plate number and said nothing more.

When she opened the door and entered, Grandma Zheng had already fallen asleep, but she was obviously still worried about Zheng Pingchuan. The door of the ward was just closed lightly, and she opened her eyes vigilantly, and turned her face to the door.

"Grandma, why aren't you asleep yet? Did I disturb you just now?" Zheng Pingchuan saw Grandma Zheng looking at him with bright eyes as soon as he entered the door, subconsciously frowned, and hurried forward a few steps .

Grandma Zheng's complexion was a little gray. Although Zhou Ran secretly used a lot of good things to nourish her, but after all, the symptoms were not cured. If Grandma Zheng wanted to live comfortably and live longer, she had to find the pathogen as soon as possible.

"Xiao Chuan, what's wrong with the corner of your mouth? Did you have a fight with someone else? Come down and let me see, yo, it's all green, who hit it so hard." Grandma Zheng looked unhappy, But his voice was still full of air, and when he saw his grandson's appearance, his brows were all knit into a ball.

Zheng Pingchuan quickly waved his hands, smiled and comforted: "It's okay, grandma, I accidentally knocked on it. When I went to the company to help at noon, the things on the shelf suddenly fell down. I couldn't dodge it in time. It's okay." Son, you don't have to worry."

Zhou Ran stood by the side and watched for a while, seeing Grandma Zheng persuading and reprimanding Zheng Pingchuan earnestly with a straight face, and when the excitement was enough, Shi Shiran changed the subject and told them the good news, "the hospital said Yes, Wu’an has found a suitable pathogen, as long as it is checked by the doctor tomorrow and there is no problem, and the operation time is arranged, then the pathogen can be transplanted into Grandma Zheng’s body.”

"Really, that's great," Zheng Pingchuan was so happy that he almost jumped up, but when he grinned his mouth, the bruise was involved, and he twisted his face immediately, covered the corner of his mouth and gasped while laughing .

After returning, Zhou Ran took the note that Zheng Pingchuan had left for him, and went straight to someone to check the license plate number and the owner's information.

It's him, Zheng Haiyuan.

When Zhou Ran got the latest information, he touched the corner of his mouth and smiled immediately, the world is really small.

However, what made him even more coincidental was that both Zheng Haiyuan and Zheng Pingchuan were surnamed Zheng.
