Tears of love for a lifetime

At this time, everyone applauded and many people said, each of us will take away the feelings of Manager Zhao and Sister-in-law. Please don’t worry, we will all take away the gifts and feelings. Thank you, bosses. At this time, Zhao Jinshan and his sister-in-law Tang Meijuan looked at each other and smiled bitterly at each other. Tietou and the senior sister were really impeccable in handling things. They had thought of everything for themselves. These gifts should be after the head count in the morning. Afterwards, Tietou and Senior Sister made a temporary call to notify the provincial company to deliver it.

Zhao Jinshan and his sister-in-law Tang Meijuan both looked at Tietou and Senior Sister at the same time. After the four looked at each other, they all smiled and nodded. On this occasion, everyone understood each other and no one said anything. By 7:30 in the evening, everyone stood up one after another to shake hands or hold fists to say goodbye, and then left the hotel and went home. After Zhao Jinshan and his sister-in-law Tang Meijuan sent away the leaders and fellow villagers of Rong County, and then said goodbye to the leaders and colleagues of Jian'an Group Company, everyone got in the car and returned to the provincial capital. However, Gu Jiali, Lin Liqiang, Manager Gou, Manager Gao, Manager Xia, Manager Chu of the Finance Department, Cashier Jiang Lili, Project Department Manager, General Manager Yan, Director Zhou, Deputy General Manager Wan and 6 people from the Publicity Department of Jian'an Group Company 17 people including a new propaganda officer did not leave. Zhao Jinshan and his sisters-in-law Tang Meijuan and Zhang Xiaotong took everyone with them, including the Qinglong White Tiger couple, Zhuque Xuanwu couple, Tietou, Senior Sister, President Jiang, Zhang Xiaotong’s parents, Director Pan, Sheriff Wang Gang, Shen Xiang 36 people including the mayor, Director Hao, and Deputy Mayor Feng came to the large private room on the second floor of the Tianhai Hotel, the largest hotel in Rong County, and served three banquet tables again. Zhao Jinshan raised his glass and said,"I, Zhao Jinshan, thank you for sitting here today." All leaders and brothers and sisters, I would like to toast this first glass of wine to my uncle and aunt and my fiancée Zhang Xiaotong. It is your kindness and free help that gave me Zhao Jinshan a second life, otherwise I would not I can stand up, let alone today. I am still sitting in a wheelchair weaving straw mats and bamboo shoots. I even cannot eat enough because of debts. I cannot thank you enough for saving my life. I cannot thank you enough. After finishing speaking first, he drank it all in one gulp, and then Zhao Jinshan poured two more cups of tea, came to the old couple Zhang Weimin and Wang Caifeng, knelt down on his knees, raised the teacup with both hands and said,"Uncle and aunt, please accept my nephew." After bowing, I invited my uncle and aunt to drink this cup of tea to express gratitude. Zhang Weimin and Wang Caifeng stretched out their right hands to take the tea cup and drank it down in one gulp. Then he said, Jinshan, get up. Now here are your leaders, close relatives and friends, no outsiders. Uncle has something to say to you. Zhao Jinshan stood up and sat next to Zhang Weimin. At this time, Zhang Weimin said, Jinshan, your original name is Zhao Quanshan. Your grandfather, General Zhao Guoyi, and my father, Chen Tingqi, were partners and brothers in life and death in Shanghai in the 1940s. At that time, your grandfather, General Zhao, was trained in Germany and returned to China to serve as the station chief of Shanghai Station. My father, Zhang Tingqi, was an underground member of our party. They cooperated in Shanghai to fight against the enemy and the Japanese. After many years of cooperation, they became sworn brothers in life and death. Later, your grandfather, General Zhao, was inspired by my father to join our party and became an underground member of our party, providing intelligence to our party many times. They fought side by side for more than four years to drive away the Japs and ushered in victory. Later, when the civil war broke out, your grandfather, General Zhao, was unwilling to fight the civil war and was ostracized by their party. In the end, your grandfather had no choice but to lead an uprising in accordance with the instructions of our party. At that time, my father and your grandfather made an agreement that if they got married and had sons, they would become brothers of the opposite sex, and if they gave birth to daughters, they would become sisters. If there is a boy and a girl, they hope that the two children will become husband and wife. My father got married 8 years earlier than your father. Your grandfather, General Zhao, only got married after liberation. I am 8 years older than your father, Zhao Donglai. When your father was young, I often played with him in my arms. , and later your father followed your grandfather to Tibetan areas when he was five years old. Communications were very underdeveloped at that time. Later, my father passed away due to illness in 1966, and I lost contact with your father. In the late 1990s, I got the news that your grandfather, General Zhao, had passed away in Qian Province. I found your father after many inquiries. You were in college at that time, and our sister Xiaotong was still in junior high school. I made an agreement with your father at that time that when my daughter grows up, if you cannot become husband and wife because of the big age difference, I hope that you can become husband and wife together. Brothers and sisters help each other throughout their lives. Five years later, when your sister Xiaotong was a freshman in college, your father told me that you saved a girl when you went on a business trip to Yunnan Province, and that girl was also very nice. You brought her back to Rong County, and then you fell in love and got married more than a year later. I told your father at that time, since you are married, I hope you and Xiaotong can be brothers and sisters for life. But just over four years ago, when I tried to call your father, I couldn't get through and couldn't find anyone. At that time, I was looking for people everywhere to inquire about your whereabouts. Half a year later, I learned from a friend that your father was in a car accident because of your brothers. Your eldest brother died on the same day of the car accident. Your father also died of a heart attack the next day because he got angry. I was also extremely sad at the time. I went to Rong County to look for you, but I couldn’t find you when I arrived in your hometown, because your father told me that your nickname was Xiaoquanzi, and there has been no news since then. Later, I found out through the local police station that your name is Zhao. Quan Shan, and I don’t know when you changed your name to Zhao Jinshan.

I have always been worried about it over the years. After I retired, I moved from Kyoto to Guizhou Province. After your sister Xiaotong graduated from college, she asked her superiors for instructions from her superiors to go to Rong County to teach. In fact, she went to Rong County to fulfill my dream and wanted to find you for me. That’s all. As a result, by some strange combination of circumstances, she really met you by chance, but your sister Xiaotong didn't know that you were the nephew of Koizumi I was looking for. When you came to my house, the first time we met you, your aunt said you looked like brother Zhao Donglai, but I didn't take it seriously at the time. But today when I saw your father's name, I completely collapsed. Your aunt and I determined that you, Zhao Jinshan, were the Xiaoquanzi we had been looking for. I knelt in front of your father and your mother's tombstone and whispered to them,"Brother Donglai, I finally found your son Xiaoquanzi, and Although my daughter Xiaotong is 7 years younger than him, through some strange combination of circumstances, they finally got their wish and got together. We really became husband and wife. We brothers can happily tell our father about their wishes. It didn’t come true in our generation, but it did come true in their grandchildren. Brothers and sisters from the East, you can finally rest in peace, and we brothers can also say goodbye to our parents’ spirits in heaven.

When Zhang Weimin said this, he was already old. Tears flowed freely, and there was silence in the private room of the hotel. There was only a low sound of crying. Everyone washed their faces with tears. These were sad tears and tears of happiness. Zhao Jinshan and Zhang Xiaotong threw themselves into the arms of their parents and cried at the same time.
