Chapter Eight Going Home
After seeing off Yang Kun and Cai Yafei, Zhou Yi got on the highway directly and drove towards his hometown after being away for hundreds of years.
The trees in early spring have just sprouted, and the wheat seedlings are no more than knee-high. Although the scenery is average, Zhou Yi is still fascinated by it.
This is his hometown, with the added bonus of sentiment.
On the highway, there were many car wrecks, mostly large trucks, blocking the roads everywhere.
However, no injured were seen. It was obvious that they had been sent to the hospital last night.
However, the wounded were transported away, but many bodies were left behind and there was no time to transport them away.
There are warning signs everywhere and ambulance lights flashing.
Blue Star lost three minutes. Although Ming Dynasty was not the hardest hit area, it still suffered heavy losses.
After a five-hour journey, it took Zhou Yi nearly eight hours to get home.
Cars drove into the village, and the new rural construction started more than ten years ago. The villagers of Nanshan Village located in the scenic area contributed part of the money, part of the state subsidies, and part of the local loans, and all of them were built into antique buildings.
Each house is a three-story building with uniform white walls, black tiles, and wooden windows and cornices.
Most of the villagers in Nanshan Village have opened hotels. Although they are not rich, their wealth is not small.
However, Zhou Yi's family did not live in the village. His grandfather rented a mine in the 1990s. When he had money, he directly rented two hills and a reservoir to engage in new agricultural development.
A hotel with thirty-six rooms was built on the hilltop next to the main road. Except for the lobby and restaurant on the first floor, which are concrete buildings, the guest rooms on the second and third floors are all wooden buildings, focusing on the style of Zen and Taoism.
From the beginning, this place was just a farmhouse.
The renovations on the second and third floors, including the Zen and Taoist styles, were all renovated in 2016 after Aunt He from Wanwan contracted the farmhouse.
Today, this hotel is the most expensive luxury hotel in the scenic area, and even so, the rooms are often full.
At the foot of the back mountain is the Zhou Yi family's own house, which is also a three-story antique building with the same style as other houses.
However, because it stands alone at the foot of the mountain and beside the reservoir, it looks even taller.
Zhou Yi's car was recognized as soon as it entered the small road in the front mountain. After all, the Beijing brand is quite special.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a pretty figure running out. Apparently the hotel doorman informed his mother through the intercom.
His mother, Wang Qin, is forty-four years old this year, but because she doesn’t have to worry about life and is relatively small, she looks younger than many women in their thirties.
Their family didn't have farmland, so her grandfather started a new agriculture business and hired more than 40 villagers to work, so she didn't need to worry about it. Now she works as a manager in the customer service department of a hotel.
Zhou Yi stopped the car, opened the door and got out, suppressed his inner excitement and shouted "Mom".
Wang Qin responded with a smile, hugged Zhou Yi's arm and said with a smile: "Nearly all the guests staying in the hotel rooms have left today, and no one who made a reservation has come. I have nothing to do."
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Tell Aunt He that it would be best to close the hotel for a while. Where is my father?"
Neither Aunt He nor his mother has awakened their powers. There has been a lot of turmoil recently, and there won't be many customers. It would be best to close down.
"He took Xiaowan to Houshan. Why is it closed? The expenses are several thousand a day, and your Aunt He is very worried."
"Such a big thing has happened. Let's not talk about last night's disaster. Now that so many people have awakened their powers, there will definitely be chaos for a while." Zhou Yi thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and dialed Aunt He's number.
Aunt He is from Wanwan and is less than fifty years old, only two years older than his father.
After her husband died, she raised her two children alone. Her son now works in Chou Country, and her daughter works in Magic City.
When her daughter was in school, she liked traveling. In 2014, she met the handsome old man Zhou Yi and hooked up with him.
In 2016, her daughter came to the mainland to go to college. She sold her family property in Wanwan and invested all the money in this hotel. Now she lives a free and easy life.
In the Zhou family, Zhou Yi's parents call her Aunt He, and Zhou Yi and Zhou Wan also call her Aunt He.
Anyway, the two of them agreed not to get married, and they didn't care about seniority.
"Xiao Yi, are you back? The bags and clothes Xiao Ci brought for me will be left at your place first. We will have dinner together in the evening and then give them to me."
"Aunt He, it's not about clothes. There were disasters yesterday, and so many people awakened their powers. There must be very few people traveling. And there will be chaos for a while recently, and then the country will definitely control it. It's best to close the door for a few days and see.
Condition."
Aunt He hesitated on the other end of the phone and asked, "What did Xiao Ci say?"
"You can consult her, she should know better. Besides, I have a surprise for you, and I need you to close the door and make time."
"What surprise?"
"It's definitely worth your expectations." After saying that, Zhou Yi hung up the phone directly.
Having been together for ten years, although Aunt He is not a grandmother, she is still like a relative.
She and her mother were not able to awaken their supernatural powers. It was a pity in the previous life, but they will definitely not be able to do so in this life.
Seeing Zhou Yi hang up the phone, Wang Qin said with concern: "I know you won't be back in time for lunch, so I left some food for you. Are you hungry?"
Zhou Yi nodded. After driving for eight hours, he was already hungry. Seeing that she wanted him to eat here at the hotel, he said, "I'll park the car."
Wang Qin turned around and hurried toward the restaurant. "I'll help you heat the food. Come over quickly."
Everything in his words and deeds revealed his concern for his son.
This feeling made Zhou Yi feel a little strange, but it was also very warm.
She is my mother and my root...
The Zen and Tao Hotel has thirty-six guest rooms, twelve standard rooms, and the remaining twenty-four are suites, each with an area of more than 60 square meters, including a bedroom, a meditation room, a reception room, and
There is a large balcony.
People who can live here will not be short of money, and they are mainly from the south and from Wanwan.
Therefore, the two chefs in the hotel's restaurant are both chefs hired by the five-star hotel. One is good at Cantonese cuisine and the other is good at Shandong cuisine. They are both very good at cooking.
After passing through the elegant dining room, we came to the staff restaurant in the kitchen. It was now around four o'clock in the afternoon. There was only one attendant looking at his mobile phone. When he saw that Zhou Yi didn't say hello, he smiled kindly.
The dishes specially prepared for Zhou Yi were Shandong cuisine's nine-turn large intestine, a small green vegetable grown in his own garden, and a portion of dried vegetable offal soup made by the Cantonese chef.
Although these are ordinary dishes and their taste is much inferior to that of spirit beast meat, Zhou Yi ate them very deliciously.
He lost count of how many years he had not had a good meal.
"Is the rice enough? If not, I will give you another bowl."
"That's enough, Mom, do you want to eat more?"
"I don't eat anymore. My waist has grown to 22 inches recently. Your dad said I'm getting fat. I want to lose weight."
Zhou Yi smiled. These words were very Versailles, and most women would be jealous when they heard them.
But his mother is only 1.52 meters tall and weighs only 80 kilograms. It is said that when the girl's waist is at its smallest, it is not as thick as her father's thighs, and his father can pinch her with two hands.
"Mom, you can eat whatever you want from now on. I guarantee you won't gain weight. You can be as tall as you want and as thin as you want."
After experiencing the drastic changes last night, Wang Qin did not doubt his words, and lowered her voice and asked: "Can you control it?"
Zhou Yi smiled, nodded, and asked, "Mom, do you want to practice?"
Wang Qin sighed regretfully: "But I haven't awakened. I am the only one in the whole family who has not changed."
