Chapter 234: The Three Generations’ Agreement

Zhou Shiyu, the old man of the Zhou family, lives in the Zhou family's ancestral house, and I don't know how many years old it has been, so Zhou Chengcai could feel a gust of ancient spirit from the surface, which is the accumulation of time.

The Zhou family has been prosperous for three generations. It is said that it seems that it will become like this from which generation. However, what Zhou Cheng is very suspicious is why a family that should have flourished is not as prosperous as grandma said before.

That was many years ago...

Grandma Zhou: "Cheng'er, you must work hard in the future. Old man, your grandfather values ​​you very much."

"Well, I will study hard! In the future, let grandma and grandpa live in a big house. The high-ranking officials in the book live in big houses. Well, grandma also needs to sit in a sedan chair."

"Oh, you were wrong. You asked you to work hard. If you didn't let you study, what would you do? With your old stubborn grandfather here, how many books can you read? Your dad...oh forgot."

"Grandma, why is our Zhou family so poor? Have you always been so poor? My classmates often eat meat."

"No, because of the domineering three generations, the Zhou family would do this... Calculate the time, it will be twenty years later. Alas, the miserable Zhou family! Think about how lively it was back then..."

Grandma's story back then was interrupted by Grandpa Zhou's scolding. He even wanted to pick up a hoe to beat Grandma. At least Zhou Cheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed, which saved Grandma from being in trouble.

It has been many years since the incident happened, and it must have been twenty years, but Zhou Cheng remembered the three generations that grandma mentioned, and remembered it very clearly. Especially when grandpa said just now that it was three generations, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but shudder.

A premonition that I don’t know whether it’s good or bad suddenly appeared in my heart.

The five sons and two daughters of the Zhou family gathered more than 20 people. Except for the aunt of Zhou Cheng's third uncle who committed suicide for an unknown reason, they all came. Zhou Cheng's mother naturally also carried a child, Zhou Shiqi.

After the worship of Mr. Zhou Shiyu, he looked at the extra tablet without caring about the doubts of the Zhou family. Anyway, there was nothing written on it, just a line of words.

But the strangest thing is here. The two ancestral tablets in the shrine are clearly written in small seal script, "Zhou Family Ancestor Tablets". Why are there two? Why are the ancestral tablets of other people still written "Heaven, Earth, Lord, Parents and Teachers" but not in their own family?

No one understood, and those who understood were unwilling to say it, so everyone could only wait for Mr. Zhou to speak, and the atmosphere was extremely serious for a moment. Zhou Shiqi was not sure if she was uncomfortable. She was about to cry, but Zhou Cheng's mother was covered with her, afraid that the atmosphere would be disrupted.

"Three generations, three generations!"

No one dared to object to Mr. Zhou's words to himself, and there were no one who could talk. Anyway, he would say it if he wanted to say it. No matter how he didn't understand it, he could not contradict this somewhat inhumane old man.

"You guys blame me?"

"Dad..." Several sons, daughters-in-law, daughters-in-law, and son-in-law hurriedly bent down again, not daring to speak. The grandchildren did not even have the right to speak.

"Oh, I'm old..." Old Master Zhou Shiyu trembled his hands, lit a long piece of dry tobacco from the bamboo smoke pole, and took a few violent sips. "Cough cough, cough cough..."

"Dad, be careful and just say something happens!" Although the Zhou family is poor, the Zhou family is a farmer, regardless of whether their daughter or son is a farmer, they still respect this strict old man very much.

"It's okay, I'm really old! Three generations, three generations! Today is finally here." Mr. Zhou knocked on the bamboo smoke pole at the table and said with emotion: "When Cheng'er came back yesterday, I knew that the time was coming again."

"Woo, woo..." Grandma Zhou, who was sitting next to Zhou Shiyu, couldn't help but whimper, pushed the old man and said, "You, you are an immortal, stubborn for so many years, but you still refuse to listen to my advice. I have said many times that the affairs of our ancestors are the affairs of our ancestors. Why do we, the younger generation, have to obey those rules? Do you mean? Why?"

Mr. Zhou inserted another rolled dry tobacco into the bamboo smoke pole and started smoking it sizzling, his face full of helplessness and struggle.

"Have you made enough trouble?" After smoking for a long time, Old Master Zhou Shiyu seemed to have decided and yelled. Grandma Zhou Cheng no longer dared to speak, but just sobbed in a low voice and wiped her tears with her sleeves.

"The Zhou family has a ancestral teaching, which is the three generations of the promise I mentioned just now. Although it is not a promise with others, it is something that my Zhou family must abide by without three generations." Mr. Zhou calmed down his emotions, reached out to massage his wife's back, and signaled her not to cry anymore.

"There will be some things every three generations of the Zhou family, and no one can escape it. I will ask you to come today, and I will fulfill the responsibilities of my head." Zhou Shiyu patted the bamboo cigarette pole and finished smoking.

"Oh, brother, this is the case anyway. Since you can't escape, you can't help but tell the children what's wrong with it. Thinking back then, alas..." Grandpa, who was wearing patches, said with a sad look on his face, as if he was going to do something. Grandpa second was a child picked up by the previous generation of the Zhou family and did not belong to the parent, but Zhou Shiyu's father never regarded him as an outsider, so he participated in the Zhou family's family affairs.

"I know!" Zhou Shiyu sighed and said, "The Zhou family has a ancestral teaching. Every three generations of people will arrange some things to do. It is for the family inheritance and for other things. I will not say in detail. Either the head of the Zhou family or the Heavenly King asked me, I can only say that there is nothing to tell me!"

"Dad, aren't you treating everyone as an outsider? Just like guarding against thieves..." the sister-in-law said in a low voice. She has always been favored by Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou, and her courage is a little older than other brothers and sisters.

"Rareless! It's not your turn to make trouble for the Zhou family! Ancestor is ancestor. Even if someone else sells his ancestors, my Zhou family cannot overestimate this etiquette! Next time, don't go back to my Zhou family!" Old Master Zhou's expression was calm, but he became angry again. His face turned red, and he scared the Zhou family standing there for a moment.

Just as Zhou Cheng was about to persuade him, Zhou's mother next to him immediately stretched out one of her hands holding the child and pinched him hard, and he stopped talking.

"You damn old man, alas! I can't afford to offend you, can't I avoid it?..." Grandma Zhou was so angry that she went back to the house alone. She was a child bride and stayed in the Zhou family for almost her whole life. She was no longer surprised by the various strange things about the Zhou family, but every time she saw her, she couldn't help but get angry, and now she was just angry. Anyway, she couldn't argue with this old man who had been stubborn for decades!

"Mom..." The children felt a little dissatisfied when they saw their mother being angry, but they had no choice but to the one sitting on it.

"I originally thought the time was not yet, but Cheng'er came back yesterday, but reminded me." Mr. Zhou took a sip of tea, but his expression calmed a lot. "You may hate me, your mother, have hated me for so many years. In fact, what can I do? Alas, I am a member of the Zhou family in my life, and I am not a ghost of the Zhou family in my life? Times are changing. Could it be that we have destroyed our ancestors? Everything is just helpless! If you blame me, just blame me."

"Brother... Why are you doing this? The children don't understand you, so my sister-in-law and I still see it!" Strangely, Zhou Cheng's second grandfather never married for life. Occasionally, he heard him talk about drunkenly, as if he was just for a promise back then.

"Second brother, brother is miserable, how can you suffer? If it weren't for the old man's words back then, why would you suffer until now? I will never marry you forever, so I will never marry you forever, hahaha... The Zhou family saved you, but hurt you again! Second brother!"

Mr. Zhou’s relationship today seemed to have more changes than in his previous life. At least the children and grandchildren were indeed scared and wondered more about what was wrong at home.

"Brother, if my father hadn't taken it in, I would have starved to death on the ridge of the field. I have no regrets in my life. I don't blame my father for what he said back then, let alone you." Grandpa Zhou Chenger was wearing a patch outfit, but he was a good person who even Zhou Chengdu recognized. He never liked to do anything in his life, but he liked to do good deeds. He liked to eat anything and suffered losses!

Mr. Zhou nodded and turned around and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. He felt that if there was someone he could not afford, then the younger brother he picked up by his father and his wife who was angry and returned to the house were one of the few. Of course, there was Zhou Cheng's father.

"Dad, we don't blame you!" Zhou Cheng's father knelt down and said. The others also knelt down. The old man's usual stubbornness seemed to be in the eyes of these children, grandchildren and daughter-in-law.

"Okay, okay!" Mr. Zhou smiled reluctantly and said, "You all get up."

After a pause, Mr. Zhou Shiyu said:

"From tomorrow, you will each take your little one out. Whether you are your sons and daughters, you will go out for a while and you will not be allowed to go back to this home within ten years!"

"Dad, this..."
