Chapter 16 The lazy man no one wants to marry
Zhou Yan immediately said: "Grandma, I don't know her name and where she is from. Don't worry, I will tell you after I inquire."
Grandpa Yang Hanlin kept reading with his head depressed, and said, "Hanzhi, don't worry about it, the wife always wants people to like him, and he also likes others."
Zeng Hanzhi sighed, feeling very irritable. When his son-in-law was alive, he supported the Modu Electronics Group with all his strength. Who knew that the husband and wife were on a business trip, and the ship sank at sea, and they both died at the bottom of the sea, leaving 12-year-old Zhou Yan.
Yang Hanlin and his wife felt sorry for him, retired early, and took him back to his hometown Nanfeng Town from Modu, so Zhou Yan lived with his grandparents for 10 years.
At the beginning, he studied well, and everyone said he was a child prodigy, but he ran out for a trip at the age of 15, and after three years, he came back, and he started to mess around, either in the mountains or in the city. Don’t count on him for farm work, he basically doesn’t do it.
Grandpa scolded him, so he ran away for ten days and half a month and didn't come back. Yang Hanlin was so angry that he beat him many times with a whip.
"Zhou Yan, your parents are watching you in heaven, don't you learn to be worthy of your parents?"
"They are not in the sky, but in the sea!"
Every time he scolded him, he would just put a smile on his face, or hug Zeng Hanzhi's arm and say, "Grandma, you're getting old, don't be angry, I'm not going to starve to death, what are you worried about?"
Grandma, can you not be worried? After Zhou Yan’s parents passed away, Zhou’s Electronics Group went bankrupt quickly.
Zhou Yan's uncle, Zhou Lihe, came to Nanfeng Town to see Zhou Yan, and said that the family was also in a difficult situation. The three children had to be fed and clothed, all relying on the old man's subsidy.
Yang Hanlin understood everything, so he said to Zhou Lihe: "Every family has its own difficulties. Zhou Yan followed us before he was an adult, and when he grew up, he found a daughter-in-law here to start a family. Come and see if you are free. Just have a good time at home."
At that time, young people from Shixing City went to the countryside to work hard, and Zhou Yan happened to stay in Nanfeng Town.
Modu’s big city couldn’t go back. Grandpa Yang Hanlin thought that Zhou Yan could study and then go out of Yunshan. It’s really not possible. If he can plant the few acres of land that his family gave him, he can live a stable life.
That's what he said, but Zhou Yan was too disobedient, and he woke up naturally every day, and Zeng Hanzhi took him to the field. He was also lying in the shade of a tree, flying birds for days.
Where is the coolness, and he has become a famous lazy man in Nanfeng Town.
Being scolded in a hurry, he ran to the mountains to get pheasants and catch hares. He was cleverer than others, and he could always catch some small animals every time he went up the mountain. He sold them on the street for 10 yuan and 8 yuan, and he could last for a month and a half.
He also said with a smile: "I have not opened for three years, and I have been open for three years."
Yang Hanlin was so angry that he kept shouting "the family is unlucky". Originally, he took out all his life savings and exchanged a few acres of private land reclaimed by others to give him more roads. Unexpectedly, such a good field is often left unused. fr eeweb novel
Yang Hanlin and Zeng Hanzhi discussed with him, sold the land, set up a shop for him on the street, and did some business, but he refused, saying that the three melons and two dates would be better than sleeping comfortably.
Zhou Yan's reputation for being a lazy eater spread throughout Nanfeng Town.
Although Zhou Yan's appearance, the entire Yuxian County couldn't pick out a more handsome man than him, but the most important thing for the villagers is that the man is hard-working and willing to work. Otherwise, how will life be?
The girls in the town don't even want to marry him. They eat too much and are lazy, and they don't even want to open a shop. Could it be that they are supported by women?
Besides, there is also a pair of professors and elders. In this era, whoever is poor is the most honorable.
So Zhou Yan, who is outstanding in appearance, is 22 years old. As long as people inquire about the marriage, he immediately backs away. Can he eat or drink?
No one is willing to marry their daughter to such a person.
It's not that no one is willing to marry him. Many women have taken a fancy to him and asked a matchmaker to tell him that they want to marry him.
But Zhou Yan turned his head and left after looking at it: "That's it, you still want to marry me? I would rather be a bachelor than make do with it."
No matter how high or low, Zhou Yan insisted on procrastinating until he was 22 years old and was still a widow.
This time Er Gouzi said that he fell in love with a girl, Zeng Hanzhi felt that he should seize the opportunity and tell his grandson a daughter-in-law, otherwise he would be sorry for his dead daughter and son-in-law.
Zhou Yan saw his grandmother's posture, and immediately rode his bicycle and ran: "Grandma, Er Gouzi and I will go to the mountains to have a look later, and we won't come back for dinner during the day."
Leaving away, Yang Hanlin and Zeng Hanzhi were furious, but there was nothing they could do.
Running outside, Ergouzi said to Zhou Yan: "Brother Zhou, are we really going into the mountains?"
Zhou Yan said: "Of course, although I'm a fool, I don't lie."
Er Gouzi pouted, still not lying? Putting a big face in front of other girls, I spent all 50 yuan all at once. Now I have no money and want to go to the mountains to make up for it!
But he didn't say it out, that's how my friends are, when it's time to shut up, you have to shut up, otherwise how can everyone have fun?
Zhou Yan and Er Gouzi walked around the mountain. Er Gouzi saw that he walked skillfully to the various traps on the mountain, collected the three pheasants and one rabbit that were tied up, and then fixed the traps again. Hurry down the mountain.
"Are we going downhill so fast?"
"Well, we went into town and sold these chickens and rabbits." freeweb(n)ovel
"Why do you want to go to the city to sell it? Don't all the crooked shops in the town accept it?"
"Don't worry about it. I'm going to the city to sell it. I can't keep selling it to Er Laowai. I heard that there are several new private restaurants in the city. The price must be higher than that offered by Er Laowai."
Er Gouzi thinks it makes sense, but why does he feel that Zhou Yan is targeting that girl?
It's the same sentence, don't tell the truth when you see it.
Er Gouzi's name is Chen Xia. There are three siblings in his family.
The two of them arrived at the county seat together. Zhou Yan went to the Yuxian Restaurant first, with his bicycle standing outside the door. He went in and asked the lobby manager, "Do you have a girl here to deliver fish?"
The lobby manager saw that he was handsome and held a bunch of pheasants in his hand, so he said, "You want to sell pheasants?"
Zhou Yan said: "Well, but I want to ask if there is a very beautiful girl here today to sell mandarin fish?"
The lobby manager said contemptuously: "Ah, you mean her? Her fish is too expensive. Our manager has already contacted the mandarin fish in Yelong Lake, which is much cheaper than her fish."
Zhou Yan listened for a while and figured it out. Liang Xiaonan had sold more than a dozen mandarin fish at the Yuxian Restaurant.
Immediately turned around and left.
The lobby manager said: "You can keep your pheasant, we collect all this kind of wild game here."
Zhou Yan said wantonly: "Do you want to take it? I don't want to sell it to you."
When I went out, I happened to meet Zhang Ming riding a bicycle. Looking at the bunch of pheasants in his hand, he asked casually, "Why didn't you keep your pheasants?"
Zhou Yan lifted the pheasant, looked at Zhang Ming and said, "My pheasant can lay golden eggs. You can't afford it. You should buy captive-raised chickens."
Zhang Ming frowned, Zhou Yan didn't look like a typical rural youth, he had an evil nature, and unfortunately he was a hooligan on the street.
His face darkened, and he stopped talking to Zhou Yan, and said to the lobby manager: "Go and invite Mr. Xie, and say that we have a new mandarin fish today."
Mr. Xie is here, no matter what kind of hooligans you are, you have to lie down!
Zhou Yan's footsteps, which he wanted to walk, stopped.
Which Mr. Xie?
