urban life

Chapter 571 You're Waiting
After the branch address was decided, Zhou Liang informed Ren Zi of the relevant details and stopped paying attention, leaving subsequent matters to his subordinates to handle.

He continued to travel in Chengdu.

Zhou Liang drove around Chengdu, visiting the city center, the old town, the CBD, and the scenic spots around Chengdu.

Most of the scenic spots did not give him much shock. They were all ordinary scenery. Moreover, as the local government vigorously developed the tourism industry, commercialization was extremely serious, and all aspects of the operation in the scenic spots were full of money traps.

Of course, Zhou Liang can also understand.

After all, you have to make back the money you spent on it.

Opening a scenic spot is the same as opening a company.

He came to Qingcheng Mountain, bowed briefly to the ancestor of the Sanqing Dynasty, and then ended his trip.

Zhou Liang didn't make a wish because he didn't know what to wish for. He already lived a very good life, surpassing most people. Making a wish seemed meaningless, so he gave the opportunity to make a wish to someone who needed it more.

Late at night, Zhou Liang returned to the hotel, threw himself on the bed, looked at the sky, and was distracted for a while.

I've been walking around blindly for the past few days and I'm a little tired.

I was stunned for a while.

He took out his mobile phone and checked to see if anyone had sent a message or if there was any problem with the company.
In the past, Zhou Liang was quite repulsive to mobile phones, believing that while mobile phones are convenient for people, they also isolate people from their understanding of the world.

However, when he became the boss, he could not live without his mobile phone for a moment. He was afraid that he would miss something big happening in the company, so he had to check every day to see if there was any relevant news.

As he became more fluent in using mobile phones, Zhou Liang felt that mobile phones——

not bad.

People are always fickle.

Zhou Liang is no exception.

He was a little happy. No one sent messages, which meant it was another good day.

Looking through the circle of friends, the already small circle of friends is completely occupied by Zhou An and Hou Mengting. Their parents are currently lying on the beach, basking in the sun, looking leisurely.

The two of them had been gone for a long time, and they had not yet completed one-fifth of Zhou An's planned itinerary, and he didn't know when he would meet them again.

Zhou Liang admires the carefreeness of his parents.

I am really not afraid that he will bring down a billion-dollar company.

A typical example of treating money like dirt.

Just when Zhou Liang wanted to comment, his father Zhou An called as if he had a tacit understanding, saying that Cao Cao had arrived.

After answering the phone, he said: "Dad."

"Well." Zhou An said, "It must be late at night in China now, haven't you slept yet?"

"I'm about to go to bed, what's wrong?"

"I can't call you if I have nothing to do? Do I, a father, need a reason to call my son? How can you be so heartless and unjust? I am so heartbroken. The real heartbreak is not making a fuss."

"." Zhou Liang was silent.

Since the two parents left, they haven't taken the initiative to call Zhou Liang, as if he and Zhou Lingmeng were charging phone bills.Usually, Zhou An calls several elders, and he and Zhou Lingmeng listen in on the call before they receive the call.

Zhou An felt cold inside. He talked for a long time, then stopped and asked, "Is it wrong?"

"wrong."

"Good son." Zhou An's tone was full of pride, "I called you today mainly to communicate the father-son affection between us. What about other things."

At this point, Zhou An paused. Zhou Liang understood his father and took the initiative to answer: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. I will do my best to handle it."

"Sensible!" Zhou An praised, "I remember you were working in Chengdu recently, right? It just so happened that an elder in our hometown passed away, and we have to take care of the funeral arrangements, so you will go back to our hometown with grandpa and me to express our condolences to the deceased elder."

Although Zhou An's family moved to Magic City, they have lived in Peach Blossom Town for decades and have an inseparable relationship. Therefore, when someone dies in their hometown, the Zhou family will usually go home to express their condolences.

In rural areas, people are very particular about receiving gifts for red events, but don't accept gifts for white events.

You must be present when others are doing business. This is a humane thing and a rule.

In the past, Zhou An, Lu Yulan, and Teacher Zhou went back to take care of it, but Zhou An traveled abroad and had no plans to return home, so he entrusted it to Zhou Liang.

Lu Yulan originally wanted to go home, but Lu Yulan had a cold a few days ago and was feeling unwell. Zhou Lingmeng asked for leave these days to take care of her at home, so she did not go back.

After everyone discussed it, they entrusted the heavy responsibility to Zhou Liang and Teacher Zhou.

"Okay, I understand." Zhou Liang nodded.

"Good son." Zhou An was happy and reminded before hanging up the phone: "By the way, your grandpa is getting older, so take more care of him."

Zhou Liang hung up the phone immediately without waiting for a response.

"."

Zhou Liang listened to the beeping sounds coming from the receiver, and his calm eyes stirred up some waves.

They truly have a hypocritical father-son relationship.

It feels too tiring to say more than one word.

He sighed, what should he do if he meets such a father?

no way.

He can only do his best to be tolerant, who calls Zhou An his biological father.

Rongcheng Airport.

Zhou Liang successfully picked up Teacher Zhou after getting off the plane.

The first thing Mr. Zhou did when he got off the plane was to open his mobile phone, open the brokerage app, and check the stock trend. The whole screen was filled with green: "Alas!"

"Master, how much did you lose?" Zhou Liang put on Teacher Zhou's coat. Now is the season of autumn and winter. The temperature fluctuates and it is very easy to catch a cold. Lu Yulan caught a cold like this a few days ago.

As people age, their body's resistance decreases.

"Small loss."

"That's okay." Zhou Liang nodded.

But in fact, based on what he has known about his grandfather for many years, it can be deduced from the formula that small loss = blood loss, big profit = small profit, today is another day of blood loss.

Zhou Liang admires his grandfather very much. His principal was more than 1 yuan a few decades ago, but now his principal is still more than 1 yuan.

In terms of this ability, 70.00% of people in the stock market cannot match it.

Zhou Liang didn't say much, pulled the suitcase and took Teacher Zhou to the garage.

Considering that Mr. Zhou is old, he specially rented a Subaru Forester, which is safe and comfortable, especially suitable for the elderly.

After getting in the car, Zhou An fastened his seat belt for his grandfather, and immediately drove to his hometown without lingering.

Teacher Zhou looked outside and asked, "You have been busy working in Chengdu recently. I want you to accompany me home this time. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Master, what are you talking about? My surname is Zhou, and I am your grandson." Zhou Liang replied.

Teacher Zhou is always so considerate.

Even though he is an elder, he will not put on a high pedestal in front of his juniors.Zhou Liang then added: "Actually, I have wanted to go back to my hometown for a long time, but because I have never had time, or sometimes I forget to go home, I have put it on hold. I just happened to go home today. Don't forget to stay in a big city for a long time. Find out where your roots are."

Teacher Zhou narrowed his eyes as he listened, quite agreeing with what his grandson said.

"Sir, please take a nap. It will be a long time before we get home." Zhou Liang glanced at the time. It was now past three in the afternoon. "The stock market has been closed."

After hearing this, Teacher Zhou immediately squinted and fell asleep.

He adjusted the air conditioner to a suitable temperature and drove slowly, trying not to disturb his grandfather's sleep.

Along the way, Zhou Liang was not in a hurry. He drove slowly while admiring the great rivers, mountains and beautiful scenery of Sichuan Province.

Just driving like this, it was already late at night when we arrived at Taohua Town. Night had fallen, and we were driving in the countryside. There were not many vehicles around, and the night life was not rich, so it seemed particularly quiet.

Finally, Zhou Liang arrived at his hometown.

He got out of the car first, opened the yard gate, drove in, and then got out of the car.

With the faint moonlight in the sky, he looked at the house in front of him.

It is a common three-story building with white tiles on the outside and some fruit trees planted around it. No one is home all year round, so the whole yard is very clean and tidy.

Zhou An pays someone to clean the yard and room every week, so they are clean.

In Zhou An's words: Even if no one lives in the house, the house must be cleaned, because he has money anyway.

However, Lu Yulan, who is usually frugal, unexpectedly agreed with Zhou An's behavior.

No matter how rich you are, you can’t forget your origins and roots.

Maybe he returned to his hometown, or maybe he slept for a while. Teacher Zhou got out of the car and was full of energy. He put his hands behind his back and walked around the yard, looking at everything.

"We're here," Lu Yulan, who was far away in Zhou Liang, sent a message.

As soon as it was sent, Lu Yulan made a video call. The call was connected immediately, and the loud and angry voice came to her face: "Arrived? That's good, that's good. There has been no news about you two. I thought I was abducted. What’s up?”

"Lao Zhou, Lao Zhou, what are you wandering around for? It's so late. Take the children upstairs quickly, make the bed, and put the quilt and pillows in the cabinet in our room."

"Clean the room. It's very dusty. Don't make the child dirty."

"It's very late now. The child has been driving all afternoon. You can cook some midnight snacks."

"Hands behind your back, are you the master?"

"I look angry."

"."

Lu Yulan directed at Teacher Zhou, and the latter sighed helplessly, even though he was far away, the girl at home still wanted to dominate him.

Moreover, he is an elder after all, so he actually lets him make the bed, clean the house, and make supper.
Like talk?
"Ah, this is our home? Not bad." He stuck out his head from the phone screen and looked at the house, "Brother, hold up your phone and let me look around."

In order to take care of Lu Yulan, Zhou Lingmeng slept with her grandma these days, for fear of something going wrong.

Zhou Liang did as he was told and walked around the yard.

"Not bad, not bad. It's a good place to retire." Zhou Lingmeng nodded, "Mom, give me this house."

"No. This is collective land and belongs to the collective. I will pass it on to your father, and your father will pass it on to your brother. I cannot pass it on to you."

Zhou Lingmeng's voice rose a few times: "Why? In what way am I worse than Zhou Liang? In today's era, boys are still valued over girls. Is there any king's law, is there justice? Besides, breast, I crush Zhou Liang in terms of masculinity. . You must give me this house, otherwise, I will never play with you again."

"Okay, okay." Lu Yulan laughed at her granddaughter's words and nodded in agreement.

Lu Yulan briefly informed her grandson and grandson about the family affairs and then hung up the phone. She didn't chat too much. She didn't trust Teacher Zhou, but she had [-]% confidence in her grandson and he could handle the family affairs well.

Zhou Liang did not rush to organize, but first took out a lot of food from the supermarket from the car. He was going to stay in his hometown for a few more days, so food was a must.

Teacher Zhou lit the fire, and he drank two bowls of noodles to fill his stomach.

After eating, they started to clean up the room. Zhou An took the lead in cleaning up the room where the two of them slept. Taking advantage of his free time, he walked to his father Zhou An's room, turned on the light, and the small room came into view.

The first thing that caught his attention was a photo hanging on the wall. It was a photo of his father and mother. His father was wearing a suit, he was young and handsome, and especially handsome; while his mother was wearing red makeup and was beautiful.

Both of them had bright smiles on their faces.

Zhou Liang seemed to see his parents getting married, lively and happy.

"Master, why didn't my dad take the wedding photos to Shanghai?"

Teacher Zhou looked at it and shrugged: "I forgot it at first, but then I didn't bother to bring it with me."

"."

Zhou Liang thought in his mind that the wedding photo had countless profound meanings, hanging it in the room to remember his youth, hoping that the two of them would stay at the moment of getting married forever. Wait, but he didn't expect that he was too lazy to take it with him, so he answered all the doubts in his heart.

Teacher Zhou walked into the room, touched the wall, and looked at everything in the room, as if he was recalling something.

He spoke unhurriedly: "Your dad has stayed in this room for more than 20 years. When he was young and frivolous, the whole room was covered with various game posters. I was really anxious at that time. He didn't study hard all day long and only played games. He If you put your passion for gaming into studying, you can take the exam at any of the 985 colleges."

Zhou Liang smiled and listened quietly to his grandfather talking about his father's past deeds. Zhou An rarely told him, and sometimes only Scale Feather took them through.

As a son, he is quite curious about his father's experience.

How to go from a country boy to a rich generation?Why can you keep your heart despite having huge assets?Why do I see so many women but only fall in love with my mother, and love her so much that I go crazy?
Gentle sounds echoed in Zhou An's room until late at night.

In the early morning, Zhou Liang opened his eyes early in the morning.

Maybe he was too tired from traveling yesterday, or maybe he spoke too late. Grandpa, who used to get up very early in the morning, was still sleeping. He didn't disturb grandpa, covered him with quilt, and went downstairs.

Opening the door, a burst of fresh air hit his face. He who was still stretching immediately became energetic and looked up.

I saw a mountain in the distance opposite, shrouded in clouds and mist, changing under the influence of a complex weather system, which was very strange.

"Life in the countryside is good." Zhou Liang thought to himself.

After admiring the scenery, he immediately went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Zhou An's cooking gene was not passed on to his two children. Zhou Liang's cooking skills were not good, but compared to Zhou Lingmeng's "bloody" cooking skills, Zhou Liang was pretty good.

At least the simple meals he cooked were edible.

Zhou Liang cooked a pot of millet porridge, boiled two eggs, heated two cartons of milk, and fried two vegetarian dishes. This was today's breakfast.

Looking at the breakfast in front of him, Zhou Liang put his hands on his hips and felt a sense of accomplishment. For the first time, he took out his mobile phone and took a photo, and then sent it to Zhou Lingmeng.

Zhou Liang: "Picture.JPG, just eat something simple."

Zhou Lingmeng: "Angry.JPG. It's sour and smelly. Even dogs won't eat it."

Zhou Liang: "Sour? It's really sour. From a distance, I can smell the sour smell emanating from someone's body."

Zhou Lingmeng: "Just wait."

Zhou Liang thought for a moment and asked, "What are you waiting for?"

Looking at the red exclamation mark in the chat box, Zhou Liang suddenly understood.

It turns out that I was waiting to be blacklisted.

Someone broke the defense.
