Chapter 572 What a coincidence
Just as Zhou Liang was about to ask his grandfather to have breakfast, suddenly there was a noise outside the door.

He went out to look.

I saw that grandpa had already gotten up and was chatting with a group of old men and women.

"When did Teacher Zhou come back?"

"last night."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." An old man looked at Teacher Zhou and couldn't help but sigh, "To be rich is to support people. I am a few years younger than you, but I look much older than you."

"That's right, he's not like a grandfather."

Teacher Zhou smiled and said: "Exercise more and worry less."

"Exercise? I work in the fields all day, does that count as exercise?" The old man continued, "Hey, people are different. I would like to worry less, but childishness is useless. You still have to work hard when you are old. Grandson, pick up your grandson, it’s so tiring.”

The old lady next to him answered: "Not everyone is as promising as your Xiao An. Oh, he is a big boss in Shanghai, lives in a villa, and drives a luxury car. When I was a child, I saw that Xiao An was smart and would become a great person when he grew up. Sure enough, As expected.”

Teacher Zhou had a flat smile on his face.

"Ah, what is this?" A group of old men and women asked curiously when they saw Zhou Liang walking out of the kitchen.

"My grandson Zhou Liang." Teacher Zhou opened his mouth and waved to Zhou Liang, "Come on, Xiao Liang, let me introduce you to him."

Then he introduced the neighbors to Zhou Liang one by one, and the latter greeted them with a smile and tried to be respectful.

Everyone looked at him, and an old lady nodded: "Young and handsome, really good. Do you have a partner? No, grandma will introduce you to one. His appearance is simply iconic, his figure is nothing to say, and his conditions are among the best in the ten miles and eight towns." , absolutely a perfect match.”

When people get old, when they see young children, they will always talk about their children's marriage unconsciously.

"Go, go, go." The old man next to him rolled his eyes at the aunt, "What is a good match? Is there any girl from all over our country who can match Zhou Liang? Moreover, free love is popular nowadays, and blind dates are out of date."

Random red lines!

Although Teacher Zhou's family is low-key, wealthy and not arrogant, everyone is not a fool and knows nothing. They can detect the strength of the Zhou family from the tip of the iceberg.

That was the richest family in Peach Blossom Town.

"You care about me? Do you understand?" The old lady stiffened her neck, "You also said it was free love. What if Xiao Liang likes that girl? It will be done."

Having said this, he said to Zhou Liang with smiling eyes: "I thought about it and it's really not suitable. Xiaoliang, don't be disappointed. In a few days, grandma will find a better partner for you, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied."

How can you tell I'm disappointed?Zhou Liang thought.

He was confused and nodded with a smile: "Okay, thank you grandma."

"Small things."

Everyone was chatting in front of the door.

For an elderly person who has only a few years to live, it is natural to imagine the joy in his heart when he sees friends whom he has not seen for a long time.

While chatting, Teacher Zhou was dragged to his home by neighbors to drink.

Teacher Zhou couldn't refuse and nodded to Zhou Liang.

Zhou Liang said: "Master, drink some."

He also understood that after all, his grandfather had lived in Peach Blossom Town for decades and had a deep friendship with his neighbors. He was also happy to see his long-time friends.

Moreover, as a former civil servant, my grandfather was very measured in his drinking.

There is no hindrance.

After everyone left, Zhou Liang shrugged.

Some mistakes.

Make an extra serving for breakfast today.

He turned back towards the room, scooped out a bowl of porridge, peeled an egg, and squatted on the threshold like a "slut", eating breakfast.

Do as the locals do.

Zhou Liang felt the joy of eating like this and an inexplicable freedom.

Occasionally, someone walked by outside the door and looked at him in surprise. The person pointing at him was obviously someone who knew the Zhou family. Zhou Liang faced them all with a smile.

After breakfast, Zhou Liang washed the dishes and cleaned.

After finishing everything, he went to the neighbor's house next door to see his grandfather. He was chatting with everyone. He didn't drink much wine and was in high spirits, so he didn't disturb his grandfather's social interaction.

He was a little bored for a moment.

Zhou Liang closed the door and wandered around Taohua Town.

Peach Blossom Town is like all economically backward towns. Most of the people living in the town are old people, and it is full of old and decadent atmosphere.

As he wandered around, he surveyed the town.

Zhou Liang was quite curious as to what kind of environment allowed his father to develop such a casual personality and not care about anything in the world.

Wandering around, he found no reason.

Suddenly, Zhou Liang stopped and a figure appeared in front of him.

Wearing a blue denim shirt and jeans, the hem of the shirt is tucked into the pants. With the help of a belt, it outlines a tight waist line and makes it appear taller.

The whole person exudes a clean and neat temperament.

When he looked at the other person, the other person seemed to notice his gaze and looked at him accordingly.

The eyes of the two met.

Zhou Liang said: "What a coincidence."

There was a wry smile on the clean and tidy woman's face, and she pursed her lips: "I met you last time in Chengdu, and I didn't expect to see you here. I really don't want to say the word coincidence."

Yes, that woman is Li Lin.

When they met again, Li Lin was a little different from usual.

In Zhou Liang's impression, Li Lin is usually cold and cold, but she is a nice person, easy to get along with, and has a small amount of enthusiasm for others. But today she seems to have a small amount of enthusiasm. It disappeared completely, and the whole person became even colder.

Li Lin stepped forward: "Why are you here?"

"Condolences to the elders."

"Good."

"Why are you here?"

Li Lin stretched out her waist and replied in a calm manner: "The elder you expressed condolences to is my grandfather."

"." Zhou Liang was silent, "I'm sorry."

"Haha." Li Lin laughed, "It's not you who killed him, so what are you sorry for? My grandfather died at the end of his life and did not suffer any pain. It is considered a "happy funeral" and should be treated as a big deal."

While talking, he glanced at Zhou Liang, as if he remembered something, and a smile appeared on his face: "Oh, so you are the Zhou family they said, and Zhou An is your father, right? It's amazing. He was already a rich man more than 20 years ago. , famous in the town.”

"We met each other in college, and we met by chance after graduation. We met in this kind of thing when we arrived in town. I didn't expect that we were so destined."

Zhou Liang: "Indeed."

Fate is a very interesting thing, it can actually bring two people from different parts of the world together.

What's even more interesting is that during four years of college, Zhou Liang never asked where Li Lin lived.

At this time, the encounter seemed even more unexpected and shocking.

"Okay, no more chatting. I still have a lot of things to do. Grandpa passed away suddenly and the family is very busy." Li Lin said with a free and easy atmosphere. She picked up a lot of things and prepared to leave. "By the way, remember to come on time." We’re having a banquet at my house.” “Do you want me to help you?”

"Need not."

Li Lin refused and left.

Zhou Liang stood there, watching Li Lin go away. The beautiful silhouette, with long silky hair, gently fluttering, and a light and steady gait, gave people a sense of confidence. There was a quiet beauty in the back.

He said lightly: "What a coincidence."

After meeting Li Lin by chance, Zhou Liang had no interest in wandering anymore, put his hands in his pockets, and walked home.

When he got home, Teacher Zhou had already had a good drink and was lying on a chair alone, basking in the sun and drinking tea. It was quite leisurely and comfortable.

"came back."

"Yes." Zhou Liang moved a stool, sat next to it, filled his grandfather's cup with tea, and also poured himself a cup, tasting it carefully.

"what about the taste?"

"bitter."

"That's right." Teacher Zhou nodded, picked up the cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile, "If it wasn't bitter, I wouldn't buy it. I don't know why, but people always like something a little bitter when they get older. , tea, bitter melon, and bitter chrysanthemum. I suffered so much before, and it’s hard to relax when I get older, but I still have to endure hardship.”

Speaking of this, Teacher Zhou couldn't help but sigh: "Perhaps death will end the "hardship"."

"Father~"

As people age and enter the last stage of their lives, the elderly always think a lot, and Teacher Zhou is no exception. He often talks about things after death.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore." Teacher Zhou waved his hand, "People are bound to die. No one can escape death. If I die, don't be too sad and try to keep a peaceful mind. When people come to this world, Just be happy. The rest is unimportant."

"Grandpa~~~"

"Oh, that's boring." Teacher Zhou said, "I can face death calmly, but you kids are still worried about me and can't even talk about it."

Teacher Zhou stood up slowly: "I just drank some wine and went back to the room to lie down for a while. By the way, Li Aiguo's grandson will use your car to buy some things later, please help him."

Seeing his grandfather's wandering look, Zhou Liang helped his grandfather upstairs, then downstairs, sitting in the middle of the yard, drinking tea and basking in the sun.

The autumn sunshine in Sichuan Province is not as fierce as in Shanghai. On the contrary, it falls particularly comfortably on people.

"Grandpa Zhou, Grandpa Zhou"

Just when Zhou Liang was about to fall asleep, a crisp voice pulled him out of his drowsiness.

Looking around, I saw a young man outside the door. He was tall and thin. He shouted loudly and stretched his neck to look at Zhou Liang curiously.

"."

Zhou Liang was speechless.

There is no one else in the yard, so you can just come in.

He waved to the tall and thin boy, who entered the yard and scratched the back of his head: "You must be Brother Liang. I am Li Feng. Grandpa Zhou asked me to come."

"My grandpa asked you to come, so why did you shout outside for most of the day."

"Hey. I'm afraid you didn't hear me."

The sound was like thunder from ten miles away. Zhou Liang rolled his eyes when he heard the words.

Immediately, he stood up, walked into the room, took out his car keys, and prepared to take this kid shopping.

"Oh, what a great car." Li Feng watched the Subaru Forester carefully and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Liang replied casually: "It's only two to three million."

Hearing this, Li Feng's pupils radiated light: "Oh, it's a luxury car."

"." Zhou Liang handed the car key to the other party, "Do you want to drive it?"

"That's so embarrassing." Li Feng grinned, "I just got my driver's license a few days ago and my driving skills are not good. I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, I have to go to see my grandpa. We will be on Huangquan Road then. We met on the Internet. He is in his eighties and I am less than 20 years old. It seemed so awkward for the two of us to meet each other."

"But, Brother Liang, this is your first time going back to your hometown. You are not familiar with the roads here, so I can only do it reluctantly."

With that said, Li Feng took the bunch of keys from Zhou Liang's hand and waved his hand: "Brother, let's go."

Zhou Liang didn't want to get in the car.

This is a naked black car!

He thought again and again: "Be careful."

Li Feng patted his chest: "It's okay. Even though I have only had my driver's license for a few days, I am an experienced driver. I often drive my father's electric tricycle. It is very safe."

After getting in the car, Zhou Liang watched as Li Feng fastened his seat belt, stepped on the brake pedal, pressed the clutch, turned on the ignition, put the car into gear, and other operations in one go. He even checked to see if there were any obstacles or animals around him.

Obviously he is an experienced driver.

"Brother, how are you? No problem." Li Feng was quite proud, "Actually, electric tricycles are the same as cars."

Zhou Liang nodded: "You are right."

When he started driving, Li Feng seemed to be very happy. The car was very fast, passing cars one after another on the lane that only accommodated two cars. When passing, he sometimes made a happy sound of "Wuhu".

Zhou Liang said softly: "Slow down."

"Oh. I'm sorry, Brother Liang. It's my first time to drive such a good car, so I'm a little excited."

Li Feng slowed down and kept a good distance between cars.

"Not a great car."

Zhou Liang looked at Li Feng, and he could see that he was somewhat similar to Li Lin from his young face.

The two are siblings, similar in appearance, but very different in personality.

One is cold and the other is naturally mature.

"Layout! Level! Strength!" Li Feng gave a thumbs up, "It's definitely not a good car for you, Brother Liang, but for me, this is the car of my dreams."

Li Feng had also heard about the Zhou family's deeds, but he didn't feel like he was pretending to his words.

"By the way, brother, you must have a lot of luxury cars at home, right? Give me a chat." Li Feng asked with a smile.

Zhou Liang changed to a more comfortable sitting position: "There are no luxury cars, just a Lamborghini, a Maybach, a Rolls-Royce, a BMW, and an Aston Martin."

The BMW belongs to Zhou Liang, the Aston Martin belongs to Zhou An, and the first three cars belong to Zhou Lingmeng.

Zhou Nuxia doesn't particularly like luxury cars. She buys luxury cars mainly for the feeling of showing off to others, and for no other reason than to show off.

After owning three cars, I suddenly felt that the appearance was too low. From then on, I drove a Lamborghini and left the other cars in the garage to collect dust.

After the words fell, Zhou Liang suddenly felt a blazing light. He turned around and saw Li Feng's eyes twinkling, staring straight at him: "Brother, your family is so powerful."

Zhou Liang said: "Drive carefully."

Li Feng turned the steering wheel and turned a corner: "Then tell me what it's like to drive those luxury cars. I'm very curious."

"It feels like nothing else. It's just like an ordinary car." Zhou Liang said, "It's not even as comfortable as this car. Especially a sports car. It's not cost-effective at all. It's very uncomfortable to sit on it. You even feel uncomfortable wherever you sit."

Facing that fiery gaze, Zhou Liang briefly talked about his knowledge of the car.

The car itself is a means of transportation, and it has developed into a spiritual display. As for him, he doesn't care whether the car is good or bad.
