There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Vol 2 Chapter 219: Guest house talk

The county government's fu guest house is in a small building not far from the county government's fu. Usually, the relevant departments of the county town invite the superior leaders to come and take a rest here.

At this time, the attendant who was in charge of registration in the lobby on the first floor saw a group of soldiers coming in with three elderly leaders. Immediately come out from behind the counter to greet. Those who can work there are not afraid to wink.

Xiao Zhou and they took out their certificates and they processed them quickly. Everyone followed the waiter up to the second floor. They looked at each room and nodded in satisfaction. They left two large rooms for Mr. Cheng and Mr. Lin. They each chose the left and right rooms and took the hot water sent by the waiter to wash. rest.

After allocating the room, Zhou Xiaozheng left his wife Lin Lishan to accompany him to the end of the second floor. Zhou Xiaozheng knocked on the door and entered the old couple’s room. This room was a large living room. The couple and Cheng Sijin are already waiting for him.

Mrs. Cheng pulled him down with a smile, "Is everything cleaned up outside? Let your daughter-in-law do it. We have some words that are not suitable for outsiders."

Zhou Xiaozheng smiled and nodded and sat down. A lot of things were in his expectation today, but they also exceeded his expectations. He still wants to improve his understanding of his parents.

Cheng Sijin said sternly: "Brother, you have to spare time to talk with us at night. Knowing that you have found you, I didn't even ask for leave, please follow. My grandfather told me before he died. There are also some of your Zhou family and Gu family. I also have to talk to you about things. Especially the things of family care you have to weigh in your heart."

Mrs. Cheng patted Zhou Xiaozheng's hand, sighed, and watched him hesitate to speak, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Zhou Xiaozheng glanced at the old lady with an unpredictable expression. He knew something in his heart that there were too many people before and couldn't explain in detail. Auntie should have something to explain tonight.

Seeing him coming in, Cheng Lao asked Xiao Chen to guard at the door of the living room, don't let everyone in, got up and took them into the room inside. After everyone sat down, they picked up the two suitcases they brought with them and placed them on the table, gently fm the suitcases with both hands, with memories on their faces.

After a while, he said to Zhou Xiaozheng, "After your mother passed away, your aunt collected the personal supplies and some letters of the couple and planned to keep them as a souvenir. There is also a box containing documents and documents donated by your mother at that time. Some of the deeds of Gu’s Zhou’s house are also invalid. These two boxes are the only relics left by your parents. Keep them as a souvenir. The contents will let your aunt tell you about it.

Let's take advantage of this meeting and let's talk about the origins of our three families first. You are the only bloodline of the Zhou family and Gu family. Many things from your ancestors should have been given to you by your father, but now they and the uncle are no longer in this bloodline. Si Jin, you are the grandson of Cheng's family. You know the deeds of the ancestors of the three families best. First tell your elder brother to tell your elder brother. Wait for your mother to discuss other things with your older brother. "

Cheng Sijin nodded earnestly and began to state, "...That's it. Our three family eldest sons and grandchildren have left a will for generations. Our three families secretly support each other. When my grandfather saw Zhou and Gu’s family scattered, he was unable to help. , I saw through the world that the only military power in the world can protect himself. He gave up his pen and started to let my dad practice martial arts. He hated it before his death, and repeatedly told him to find the child. And the uncle also asked the aunt to find a way to let you before his death. Congwu, so that you can settle down in the future."

After listening to Zhou Xiaozheng, he didn't have a word for a long time. After a meeting, he whispered: "Thank you, you have a heart. The friendship between Zhou Gucheng and our two brothers is here, and we must inherit it."

Old Cheng sighed and said with emotion: "We have not had trouble in the three houses for 300 years, but in the end the main house still fell in the hands of the side house. If it weren't for the Cheng family to join the army in my generation, it is estimated that the three main houses will fall apart. ."

Zhou Xiaozheng chuckled unpredictably, "Auntie, tell me more about how my grandfather and grandmother were forced? And how did my parents flee to death? According to reason, the Eight-Power Allied Forces withdrew, and my father was there. Jiangnan Gu’s family shouldn’t be life-threatening, so why hide in secret? The two of them are in Gu’s family, have bodyguards, have money in their hands, and have connections. How can they not be forced into desperation by a group of bandits."

Mrs. Cheng nodded in agreement, and said bitterly: "There was an accident in the Zhou family. I heard that Zhou Jinyu was dead. Your grandfather and your mother came back from the capital to see that something was wrong. They secretly transferred some of the assets and planned to send us abroad. We haven’t waited for arrangements. So your mother and your mother fell ill. Your grandmother was not in the house, and she relied on her husband and daughter. Then all the pillars of the family fell, and the servants of the family were unable to command.

The patriarch and elder came to the door and said that if your grandfather does not recruit son-in-law, you will adopt it. But if it is adopted, it can only be adopted. Besides, if it was adopted early, who would agree?

Your grandfather pushed it several times and saw that he was about to leave. Just then, your father returned to Gu's house. Your grandfather saw through the money and moved people's hearts, and even your father and mother were no match for the tribe. Before he died, he repeatedly let us juniors fly far away, and don't come back later.

When he left, your grandmother kept blaming herself for not giving birth to a son. At this time, some people from the tribe came to the door and kept blaming her for dominating your grandfather at the beginning, and for failing to give him a concubine, she collapsed in an urgent illness.

Your father and mother have to deal with those tribesmen and take care of the old lady lying on the bed. Those people still don't give up, not talking about recruiting sons-in-law, they emphasize adoptiveness. In addition to his fame, your father has made a few literati and has no background in Jiangnan. Some are also in the capital, far away water can't catch hunger and thirst, not to mention the icing on the cake.

Except for a few family acquaintances who are busy helping your father with official matters, who would know that something will happen to your in-laws? Jiangnan, your grandfather has some connections, but they are all literati. They intervened, and Gu's family said it was Gu's family affairs. Even the Gu family’s in-laws, Grandpa Cheng, came to visit the Gu family chief, and he said that I was just an adopted daughter, not Gu family’s. Their Gu family has Gu family rules, and the main line cannot be broken unless your father adopts. But how can Zhou's family only have your father's blood?

Your grandfather Cheng repeatedly came to the door to persuade them, and they relented and said that waiting for your father and mother to give birth to a second son, adopting the family, and then preventing the clansmen from forcing the door to adopt. But in this way, the people of the tribe didn’t come to the house to say that they had adopted it, but they kept crying poorly. Even Gu’s family was rumored outside the house that much of Gu’s property was in the main house.

As your grandfather said, the clansmen didn't help, and they took advantage of the chaos. In those years, your grandfather rescued countless people. But as soon as he left, the beasts would be outside and gloating.

Wait for you, Grandpa Cheng, to find out that there is a gang of chaos/gangsters coming home. At that time, apart from your father's few literati and friends, no one was there to help. Some of the people in the Gu family who worked in the government were also involved in the situation. Your grandmother has also passed away, and Gu's house has become fat in everyone's eyes.

If it weren't for being forced to desperate by those people, how could we give up everything in a hurry and leave home. It's a pity that you didn't listen to your grandfather's going abroad, otherwise my sister and brother-in-law would not die young. "

Zhou Xiaozheng didn't change his expression when he heard the words, and nodded lightly, "Except for the capital of the Gu family, how about the people in their hometown now?"

Mrs. Cheng snorted disdainfully, "Even her own people are forced to be treated kindly? Dead to death, scattered. There is no need for revenge, except for a few households that still existed, and they all received retribution. Will attract retribution."

Old Cheng smiled helplessly and talked about an important topic, "Okay, let's talk about the next step. After going to the ancestral hall, we have to ventilate the upper head first. The most important thing is to publicize the donation books. The documents must be published in our hands. Otherwise, the Gu family’s rumors are still hidden dangers. Gu’s family property should be there except for the donation of the sister, but now there are no clues. So Xiaozheng, Gu’s family is really nothing but the old house. You can stay. Gu's aunt and I will take care of all these things for you, but you have to follow me around to let people know that there are still people in Zhou's family in Beijing."

Mrs. Cheng recalled the scene when Gu Mingzhu was about to die, and closed her eyes in pain, "At that time, my sister must have wanted to tell me~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but I was too stupid. The only thing I thought was that my sister could not just After leaving like this, there are still children there, but I didn’t think about anything else. Forget it, if you don’t have it, it’s gone. As long as the children are well.

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded in agreement, "Money is something outside the body, no matter if it is gone. Now we don't live on the wealth of our ancestors."

Old Cheng smiled comfortedly, "That's right. Our ancestors are also impoverished, and you juniors will still revive your family in the future."

Cheng Sijin planned to arrange the next itinerary as well, "When is the eldest brother going to leave? The day after tomorrow, we can still go back by military plane."

Zhou Xiaozheng secretly calculated that he would not be able to keep up with the child's full moon. Jiaojiao has also made an appointment to return to Beijing at the end of the year. At present, there is nothing to do. After thinking about it, he said, "I can make it the day after tomorrow. I will settle down and Jiaojiao will go with you first. The child's full moon is twelve. I will return to Beijing to celebrate."

Old Cheng looked at his wife, wanted to hear, and solicited her opinion.

After hearing this, the old lady Cheng said, "Jiaojiao and the others will also go to the capital to pay homage to her grandfather and grandmother. We will discuss with the children tomorrow."

Cheng Sijin saw that they were almost done talking, and took his dad out, "Brother, then you can open the box and have a look at it. This is just right for you two to have a good chat."

After watching them go, Zhou Xiao opened the box and looked down at the notebooks, letterheads, pocket watches, and fountain pens neatly placed inside. His eye sockets could no longer help being red.

I closed my eyes, raised my head and took a few deep breaths. After calming my mind, I stretched out my hands and touched them lightly. I was afraid of a mistake, so I took out the handkerchief and wiped my hands before carefully picking up the top one that has been sent. Huang's letterhead, listening to her aunt's commentary in her ear, seemed to reappear yesterday.
