Chapter 15 Small Town Story

Sitting in the car, Zhou Shaolong's thoughts flew around. Somehow, he remembered what his parents said to him when he was in his senior year of high school.

"Son, our family hasn't had a college student yet, so I'm counting on you. You have to work hard,"

"Okay, okay, I get it, I'll play for a while."

"Son, I have never been to college for your dad. I just hope you can get into college and give your dad a good face. Look at you, you know how to play games all day long, so you can't read books well? Otherwise, let's have a gentleman agreement."

“What agreement.”

"As long as you get into college, no matter what university it is, I will also provide you with the junior college. I will also pay 3,000 yuan a month for living expenses, plus the pedals you want, a new notebook. How about it."

"Okay, a gentleman's word, a quick horse, you can't regret it. I'm going to read a book."

In Rongcheng, three thousand yuan is equivalent to the monthly living expenses of a medium-sized family. Buying a pedal and a notebook at one time is all luxury. For these two luxury goods, Zhou Shaolong agreed to his father, attend classes every day and asks a lot of questions to the teacher every day, until the teacher was impatient and flipped the review materials and scrapped them. The students thought that Zhou Shaolong was stimulated. So a few good buddies came over to comfort him, and said such as no grass in the world, but these were rewarding.

After the college entrance examination, Zhou Shaolong was admitted to a third-rate university in Wenqing City with a good score of 460. Although Zhou Shaolong had worked very hard, he did not study hard even in his first and second grades of high school, and his foundation was too poor. At this 460, he even shocked many teachers' chins, especially Zhou Shaolong's class teacher, who directly announced that Zhou Shaolong was a genius at the class banquet.

Zhou Shaolong was admitted to university, and the happiest thing was Zhou's father. When he saw his son's admission notice, he was drunk that day and shouted that my son had been admitted to university. However, the old saying is quite correct. The blessings of misfortunes depend on and the disasters of blessings are hindered. Within two weeks, Zhou's father's furniture factory had a major accident, and a worker died. After that, the factory went bankrupt. Because of the loss of money, Zhou's father was considered to have lost all his money and almost sold his house. Zhou Shaolong originally didn't want to go to college because he had to pay 50,000 yuan to go to college, but Zhou's father was very stubborn. He pieced together everything and borrowed money from his relative's door. Finally, he raised enough 50,000 yuan to send Zhou Shaolong on the train to Wenqing City. After that, he worked tirelessly every day. In order to pay off his debts, his mother, who had been working as a full-time housewife at home, had to find several jobs.

Some time ago, Zhou Shaolong's cousin told Zhou Shaolong about the reason why Zhou's factory went bankrupt. The reason was that Zhou's foreman had a relative named Zhou Cunyi. Because he was a relative, he was highly valued by Zhou's father and was arranged by Zhou's father to manage the warehouse. On the day Zhou's father got drunk, Zhou Cunyi set fire to burn the warehouse, burning more than 500,000 yuan of furniture and wood in the warehouse. There was also an unlucky worker on night shift in the warehouse. Later, Zhou Cunyi had enough of Zhou's furniture factory at an extremely low price.

Zhou Shaolong didn't understand how there were such hateful people in the world. Seeing that his parents seemed to be aged in teenage years in just a few years, Zhou Shaolong felt uncomfortable. He was admitted to university because of the notebook and pedals that his father mentioned. However, when his father's factory went bankrupt, Zhou Shaolong's purpose of taking the university was to study hard, make himself rich, and let his parents live a good life. However, after going to college, this purpose was thrown into Guawa Country. Fortunately, Zhou Shaolong got the plane system and had the magical ability to cross the plane. With this ability, money is just a number. However, Zhou Cunyi cannot let it go.

Zhou’s father is named Zhou Xinglong, with his elementary school education. His biggest wish is to get his son into college. Even now, his family still has tens of thousands of dollars in debt. His son’s admission to college is more important than anything else. Today, he has a rare day of idleness, just because his son who is studying in college in another place has returned, and he wants to welcome his son. The car stopped in front of a small restaurant, and the family of three got off. At this time, Zhou Shaolong’s cousin was waiting in the box that had already been booked. The dishes had not yet come up.

When he entered the private room, Zhou Shaolong called out to his cousin. Zhou Shaolong always respected his cousin because when his father opened the factory, his cousin followed his father. The security work in the factory was done by his cousin, but he was not able to prevent any family thieves. The cousin always thought that the matter of the factory was his own. If he had to go around the warehouse twice more, the factory would not have gone bankrupt. But Zhou's father never blamed him. Disasters were determined by heaven and could not be controlled by humans.

The eldest cousin was very happy to see Zhou Shaolong. When he heard Zhou Shaolong call him, he smiled and said, after the family sat down, he asked the waiter to serve the dishes. The dishes had been prepared long ago, and they were afraid that the cold would cause them to cool down, so they kept them in the constant temperature box. In a short while, the dishes were served. The eldest cousin was named Zhang Shaofei. Because the name of Zhou Shaolong had the word "shao" in his name, he was very close to him, but the difference between the two was about six years old, and he was twenty-five years old this year. After he was discharged from the army, he worked with Zhou's father.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, everyone had a great time eating. Zhou Daddy and his cousin drank a bottle of white wine, and Zhou Shaolong also drank a few less glasses. The food was almost done, so the few started chatting. Zhou Daddy asked Zhou Shaolong how he was doing at school. Zhou Shaolong looked at Zhou Daddy and said with some confidence, "I've dropped out of school."

"What?" Hearing Zhou Shaolong said that he had dropped out of school, he suddenly shouted loudly, Zhou's father gave up a lot of things for Zhou Shaolong to go to college, just to make a fortune in order for Zhou Shaolong to have a bright future, but Zhou Shaolong dropped out of school without saying a word. If he didn't ask, he wouldn't know when he would be hidden. It would be too much, and Zhou's mother was also a little angry. The fact that Zhou Shaolong did was too annoying.

Zhou Shaolong's cousin was not very angry. In his opinion, going to college was nothing more than making an excuse for a person to play for a few more years. Now college students are becoming less and less valuable. They threw a brick on the street and hit ten people, nine of them were college students, and the remaining one was still a doctorate. But the cousin was a little curious about what Zhou Shaolong planned to do after he didn't go to college.

Seeing that his parents were very angry, Zhou Shaolong quickly said, "Dad, don't worry, listen to me." Zhou Shaolong's cousin also advised, "Yes, uncle and aunt, don't worry, first listen to why Xiaolong didn't go to school." After hearing Zhang Shaofei's words, Zhou's angry mood slowly calmed down and said to Zhou Shaolong, "Tell me, why don't you go to college."

When Zhou Shaolong saw his father ask him the reason, he talked about his adventure. "Dad, I can't learn anything in college. I play games all day long in the dormitory, and I get annoyed. Later, you sent me a text message saying that I would cut off my living expenses, so I was thinking about finding a job. Who would have thought of getting money that day and encountered a bank robbery. Five robbers robbed with guns. Maybe I was unlucky and was shot by a robber. Later, the robber ran away and I was sent to the hospital. Then a policeman asked me about the incident and the appearance of the robber. I met a sister, who was the leader of the fifth group of the serious crimes in Wenqing City."

"Li Yaqian." Zhang Shaofei said suddenly.

"Ah, yes, do you know cousin?" Zhou Shaolong asked curiously. Zhang Shaofei said, "Oh, that's not. I heard that when I was in the army, Li Yaqian is the youngest captain in the women's special forces. You continue, what happened later." Zhang Shaofei said.

"Ao, Sister Ya said that because I saw the true appearance of the robber, I was afraid that the robbers would kill people to silence me, so I asked her to protect my life safety. Later, I told her, could I help me find a job? It would be better to be in the police station, close to you, so she asked me to be a special service in the fifth group. The bank robbers were caught some time ago. I am still a special service in the fifth group. I have a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, live in the male police dormitory, do not pay water and electricity bills, do not work, have a lot of experience, and have seen a lot, and I think it is good."

After hearing Zhou Shaolong's words, Zhou Xinglong sighed and said, "Oh, son, my father's wish is to let you get into college, and you have also gotten into college, which can be considered as fulfilling my father's wish. As for your future life, just live according to your own ideas. Life is done by yourself, and you have grown up, so my father won't say much, but don't forget, no matter what you do, my father supports you, but you can't do illegal things, do you know?" In the end, Zhou Xinglong's face became serious again, but how could Zhou Shaolong do illegal things? If you want to do it, you have to do it in another world. He immediately agreed to Zhou Xinglong, saying that it was no problem and he would not do illegal activities.

Later, he talked about the debts at home. Zhou Xinglong sighed and said, "Oh, Shaolong, you have grown up, and you should know some of the things at home. The family used to owed 260,000 yuan in debt, but later they paid back some of them one after another. Now they still owed 130,000 yuan. I thought about selling the house at home, changing the debts, and changing to a smaller house. Then your mother and I will work for a few more years to like you. When you get married in the future, you will buy a house in the city and pay you a down payment. You will pay it back slowly, which is acceptable." Speaking of this, Zhou Xinglong's face showed a deep helplessness. If you can't bring a good life to your children, isn't you a little incompetent?

Looking at his father's body as if he was a teenager, Zhou Shaolong said with a smile, "Dad, don't be like this. The house doesn't need to be sold. I'll tell you good news." Zhou Xinglong heard his son say there was good news, so he asked, what good news, Zhou Shaolong's mother and cousin were also very curious, watching Zhou Shaolong wait for the following text.

Zhou Shaolong continued to say happily, "Hehe, two days ago, I bought a vase from the old man who had a broken hand, which was only twenty yuan. I thought it was pretty, but I bought it for only twenty yuan. Later, someone saw my bottle and asked if it was sold. I didn't sell it. I saw that the man seemed to be very anxious about the bottle. If he wanted to buy it, the price was 20,000 yuan. I didn't sell it. I thought, this bottle should be quite valuable, otherwise the person could not buy it so anxiously. I took it to the antique city in the bathroom and found a shop owner to ask. I realized that the bottle was blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty, or from the Northern Song Dynasty. I checked the price online, hehe, guess how much it costs."

Zhou Shaolong’s mother asked quickly, “How much is it?” Although Zhou Xinglong and Zhang Shaofei didn’t say anything, their anxious eyes had already revealed their thoughts. Zhou Shaolong laughed and said, “Haha, you must have never imagined that the transaction price two years ago was 20 million soft sister coins. I’ll do it. 20 million. Even if my bottle is only sold for 10 million, I’ll be satisfied.”

"What, 20 million." At this time, Zhou Xinglong was shocked by his son's offer. The transaction price was 20 million two years ago. Today, after two years, I am a mother. How much does that cost? Thinking of 20 million, Zhou Xinglong hurriedly asked, "Is that bottle real? If it is fake, it will be empty joy." Zhou Shaolong smiled and said indifferently, "Don't you worry. I have found a master to identify it. It is definitely genuine. 20 million, that's certain, but I guess it can't stop 20 million, hahaha." He said in his heart, can the vase I brought back from the Northern Song Dynasty be fake, and it is also a bottle in the Dali Palace. I wiped it, how much it costs, and I couldn't believe it when I got the money.
