That fish tank is an old thing, it must be hundreds of years old.
Small lotus leaves are planted in the water, and two goldfish are used for Feng Shui activities.
If you put this vat outside, it could be sold for a million or more, but in this old house, it is just an object to hold water.
However, it can be seen that good materials were used in this old house when it was first built, but now it seems that it is in a state of disrepair.
The large pillars with peeling paint, the moss-covered bricks and tiles, and the high roofs reveal traces of time.
"Everyone, sit down and drink tea. Master, where is your luggage? I will help you put it away."
The old man served hot tea to everyone and asked Dad Zhou in a kind tone.
Mother Zhou whispered softly: "Uncle Zhou, we put the luggage in the car. There is nothing important. You should rest first. There is no need to rush around."
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were childhood sweethearts, and their childhood sweethearts naturally became familiar with Uncle Zhou.
But Ning Ning discovered that when the uncle spoke, he did not face Zhou's mother, but only spoke to Zhou's father. Could it be that they were having a conflict?
"Then young master, I'm going down first."
Zhou Bo was hunched over, holding an empty wooden plate in his hand, and walked out with his head lowered.
"Grandpa, be careful."
Ning Ning, who was curiously admiring the architectural scenery outside the door, used quick hands and eyes to help the old man who was about to trip over the threshold.
The child was half-grown and very weak in strength. He swayed slightly and quickly stabilized his body.
Facing Ning Ning's concerned inquiry, the old man behaved strangely. His gray and sparse eyebrows furrowed tightly. He used great force to withdraw the arm held by Ning Ning and said angrily: "Little girl, don't touch her." How can I, at such a young age, show my face outside?"
After saying that, he left angrily.
Ning Ning looked at the old man's back. There was a big black frame on top of his head, and his favorability score was actually negative.
Oh my god, what did she do to lose her favorability?
Didn't you just save an old man who was about to fall?
Zhou Qianqian ran over and grabbed Ning Ning's soft little hand: "What's wrong?"
Ning Ning pursed her lips in the direction where the old man was walking away: "Have you seen him?"
Zhou Qianqian pursed her lips: "Don't pay attention to them. The older generation in J City are like this. They are still living in the last dynasty, which has been dead for 800 years. They tell girls that they shouldn't study and go to work every day. , shouldn’t be talked about in public, that’s why my dad doesn’t like coming back, this grandpa, I saw him when I was a child.”
Ning Ning: "You are still a child now."
Zhou Qianqian snorted: "I think she was three or five years old. I can't remember. I only vaguely remember that they didn't like me because I was a girl."
Ning Ning and Zhou Qianqian held hands: "Then let's ignore them. Anyway, after seeing your grandpa, we will go back."
Ning Ning has experienced the issue of favoring sons over daughters, but it is not from their family. Ning Ning has been a good child since she was a child, and her brothers and sisters who have watched Ning Ning grow up know this.
In the past, Grandma Su had a correct outlook on life and had no partiality. She treated Ning Ning as her own eyeball.
Although my parents didn't have children of their own, they raised Ning Ning as their own. Mom said that if other people's children had children, they would work hard to earn money for Ning Ning.
However, the people in Majiatun used to be very poor and had the idea of "favoring boys over girls" and believed that girls were losers. Although it was not like other places where girls drowned after giving birth, if there were no boys, other families would discriminate against this family. . Fortunately, as the country developed later, it retired a large number of jobs, shouted the slogan "women hold up half the sky", liberated countless women's labor force, contributed to the construction of our country, and worked hard to completely eliminate the phenomenon of favoring sons over daughters and realize the birth of boys. It’s the same for girls.
However, here, serious preference for boys over girls still exists among the older generation.
Of course, the young man refused.
Young people don't want this old foot-binding cloth.
Therefore, not many young people like to come to this area of the old city.
At this moment, Ning Ning never imagined that the older generation of the Zhou family had such a serious preference for boys over girls.
A few hours later, the older generation of the Zhou family came back.
"Master, the young master is back and drinking tea with his friends inside."
Uncle Zhou's voice came from the door.
Another loud, old-fashioned voice said: "Yes." He said with special emphasis: "Tell him to wait inside."
Twenty minutes later, three gray-haired old men walked out of the lobby.
The faces of the three people are very similar, and they are obviously related.
When Father Zhou saw the other two people, he frowned calmly and still called out: "Dad, third uncle, fifth uncle."
Zhou’s mother: “Dad, third uncle, fifth uncle.”
Lowering his head, he gently urged his daughter: "Hurry up and call grandpa, third grandpa, fifth grandpa."
Zhou Qianqian called people obediently.
The three old people didn't even look at the mother and daughter. They glanced around: "Just come back. Are these your friends?"
Father Zhou nodded and introduced them one by one.
These three old people looked very arrogant, and everyone just said hello in a calm manner, which was considered polite.
Dad Zhou said: "Dad, are you sick? What kind of disease? Have you got the test results?"
Grandpa Zhou snorted coldly and said sternly, regardless of the fact that there were outsiders here: "I have illnesses and heart problems all because of you, an unfilial son. At such an old age, you don't even have a son. If I die in the future, how will I go to see Lieutenant General?" Ancestors? How can you close your eyes?"
Father Zhou smiled bitterly: "Dad, no matter what age it is now, having children is the same. National policies have come out. If you have two children, you can have our family name. Besides, we..."
In the second half of the sentence, I really want to say that the ancestors of our family did not know whether they were tortured by digging graves after death.
"There are two or three. If there are no boys, our family will have no descendants!!!"
Grandpa Zhou, oh, Ning Ning feels that this man can no longer be called Grandpa Zhou. He has to be called Old Man Zhou, a stubborn and conservative old man.
Oh, the frames above the heads of these three old men are all black.
Comes with bias filter.
Humph, Ning Ning doesn’t like them either.
Father Zhou's face changed slightly, and his tone became colder: "Dad, since you're fine, we'll leave first."
After saying that, he turned around and said to everyone: "Let's go back."
Dad Su, Brother Xu, and Xiao Liu naturally nodded, and we should go back together.
"stop!"
Old man Zhou was so angry that he used a cane: "If you dare to leave, I will kill you here today."
The atmosphere became tense for a moment.
The old man next to him coughed: "Brother, let the child have a meal first. It will not be easy for him to come back."
Old Man Zhou's face was ashen and he kept breathing heavily, like an old and angry bull.
"He doesn't have me as an old man in his heart. When he was a father and a mother, he pulled him, but what happened? Did he run away with a woman?"
