Chapter 225

The county government Fu guest house is located in a small building not far from the county government Fu. Usually, the relevant departments of the county are arranged to rest here to entertain the superior leaders to visit and inspect.

At this time, the attendant in charge of registration in the hall on the first floor saw a group of soldiers surrounded by three elderly leaders. Come out from behind the counter immediately. Those who can work in a place are not afraid to be blind.

Xiao Zhou, they took out their certificates and handled them quickly. They followed the waiter up to the second floor. After seeing each room, they all nodded with satisfaction. They left two large rooms for Mr. Cheng and Mr. Lin. they chose the left and right rooms respectively and washed and rested with hot water from the waiter.

After allocating the rooms, 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 Mr. and Mrs. Cheng's room. This room is a large room. Besides Mr. Cheng and his wife, Cheng Sijin are waiting for him in the outside living room.

Mrs. Cheng smilingly pulled him to sit down. "Are you ready outside? Let your daughter-in-law do it. Some of our words are not suitable for outsiders

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded and sat down with a smile. Many things were in his expectation today, but things were beyond his expectation. He still wants to know his parents better.

Cheng Sijin said positively: "elder brother, you should spare time to talk with us in the evening. Knowing I found you, I didn't even ask for leave. Please follow me. My grandfather told me before he died. There are also some things about your family and your family. Especially when it comes to home care, you have to weigh it in your heart. "

Mrs. Cheng patted Zhou Xiaozheng's hand and sighed. She looked at him and stopped talking. Finally, she didn't say anything.

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at the old lady with an unpredictable look. She understood some words in her heart. She couldn't explain it in detail. She should have something to explain tonight.

Seeing him come in, Mr. Cheng asked Chen to guard at the door of the living room. Don't let everyone in. He got up and took them into the room. After they sat down, they picked up the two suitcases that they had brought with them and put them on the table. They gently lifted the suitcases with their hands, and their faces were filled with memories.

After a while, she said to Zhou Xiaozheng, "after your mother passed away, your little aunt collected the personal belongings and some letters of their husband and wife, intending to keep them as souvenirs. There is also a box of documents donated by your mother and some house deeds and deeds of the Zhou family. Some of them are invalid. These two boxes are the only relics left by your parents. Keep them as a souvenir. I'll let your aunt tell you something about it.

Let's talk about the origin of our three families while there is no one here. You are the only blood of the Zhou family and the Gu family. There are a lot of things in our ancestors that your father should tell you, but now they and uncle are gone. Sijin, you are the eldest son of the Cheng family. You know the story of the three families. First tell your elder brother about it and let him know it in his mind. I'll talk to your brother about other things later

Cheng Sijin nodded his head and began to make a statement In this way, the eldest son of our three families left a will from generation to generation, and the three of us secretly supported each other. My grandfather saw that the Zhou and Gu families were scattered, and he could not help him. He saw through the world that only the military power in his hands could protect himself. He abandoned his pen and began to let my father practice martial arts and join the army. On his deathbed, he hated it and told him again and again that the child must be found. And the eldest uncle also asked the aunt to find a way to let you from the martial arts, so that you can settle down in the future. "

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaozheng had no words for a long time. After a meeting, he said in a low voice: "thank you. I have a heart.". Zhou Gu Cheng's friendship with our two brothers will continue. "

Old Cheng sighed and sighed: "we three families have been in trouble for three hundred years, but the main house still falls on the side room. If the Cheng family hadn't joined the army in my generation, the main houses of the three families would have withered. "

Zhou Xiaozheng chuckled and said, "Auntie, can you tell me more about how my grandparents were forced? And how did my parents feign death to escape? According to reason, when the Eight Allied forces withdrew, my father's life should not be in danger in the south of the Yangtze River. Why should he hide in the dark? The two of them are at home, with bodyguards, money and connections. They will not be forced into a desperate situation by several gangs of bandits. "

Mrs. Cheng nodded in agreement, and said with hatred: "something happened to the Zhou family. I heard that Zhou Jinyu was dead. Your grandfather and your mother saw something wrong when they came back from the capital city. They secretly transferred some assets and planned to send us abroad. They fell ill before they could make arrangements with your mother. Your grandmother doesn't run the family. She depends on her husband and daughter. All the pillars of the house fell down, and the servants were unable to command.

The patriarchs and elders came to the door and said that if your grandfather didn't recruit a son-in-law, he would adopt him. But if it is adopted, it can only be adopted. Besides, if it had been adopted long ago, who would have agreed?

Your grandfather pushed it a few times and saw that he was about to leave when your father came home. Your grandfather saw through that money moved people's hearts. Even your father and mother could not compete with their clansmen. Before he died, he repeatedly let us children fly away and never come back.

When he's gone, your grandmother has been blaming herself for not having a son. At this time, there are those people who come to the door and blame her for bullying your grandfather. She didn't take a concubine for him. She fell down when she was in a hurry.Your father and mother have to deal with the people and take care of the old lady lying in bed. Those people did not give up their minds and even stopped recruiting their sons-in-law, they emphasized the adoption. In addition to his talent and fame, your father made friends with several literati and had no background in Jiangnan. Some of them are from the capital. Far water can't meet the hunger and thirst. What's more, the icing on the cake has been rare since ancient times.

Apart from a few family friends who are busy helping your father deal with official affairs, who knows that there will also be accidents in your family? Jiangnan, your grandfather has some contacts, but all of them are literati. They stepped in and said it was family business. Even if your in laws, your grandfather Cheng, came to see the head of Gu's family, he said that I was just an adopted daughter, not a family member. They take care of their families and have family rules. The main house can't be broken unless your father adopts it. But how could Zhou's only father be adopted?

Your grandfather Cheng came to persuade him again and again, but they let go and said that when your father and mother gave birth to a second son to take care of the family, they would stop the clansmen from forcing them to adopt the family. But in this way, the clansmen did not come to the door and said that they would continue to cry for poverty. Even the family members said that how much of the family's property belonged to the main house.

As your grandfather said, the clansmen didn't help, and they took advantage of the chaos. Your grandfather saved and helped countless people in those years. But as soon as he was gone, the animals went out and gloated.

When your grandfather Cheng hears that there are gangsters coming to the door. At that time, there was no one to help except a few literati friends of your father, and some of those who worked in the local government even fell into trouble. Your grandmother passed away, and caring for the main house became the fat in everyone's eyes.

How could we have given up everything and pretended to be dead and left home in a hurry if we hadn't been cornered by those people. Unfortunately, I didn't listen to your grandfather's going abroad, otherwise my sister-in-law would not have died young. "

Zhou Xiaozheng smell speech look unchanged, gently nodded, "Gu family members in addition to the capital this, still home now how?"

Old Mrs. Cheng disdained to hiss, "even their own people are forced, also want to be treated well? Die die, scatter. There is no need for revenge, except for a few households, all of them have been punished. Even those families will get retribution. "

Old Cheng had no choice but to smile and talked about an important topic. "OK, let's talk about the next step. After going to the ancestral hall, we have to give the upper authorities a ventilation first. The most important thing is to publicize the donated books. This document must be published in our hands, otherwise family rumors or hidden dangers. In addition to the donation of my sister, there should be more, but now there is no clue. So Xiaozheng, there is nothing left for the family except the old house. Your aunt and I will do all these things for you, but you have to follow me for a walk, and let people know that there are still people in the Zhou family in the capital city. "

Old Mrs. Cheng recalled the scene before Gu Mingzhu's death and closed her eyes painfully. "At that time, my sister must have wanted to tell me, but I was too stupid. The only thing I thought about was that my sister couldn't just go away and where the child was, but I didn't think about anything else. Forget it, it's gone, as long as the child is good. "

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded his head when he heard the speech and said, "money is something out of the body. It's ok if you don't have it. Now we don't live on our ancestral possessions. "

Hearing this, Mr. Cheng said with a happy smile, "that's right. Our ancestors are also destitute, and you younger generation will still be able to revive their families in the future. "

Cheng Sijin plans to arrange the following itinerary as well, "when is the big brother going to leave for home? We can go back by military plane the day after tomorrow. "

Zhou Xiaozheng secretly calculated that he could not catch up with the full moon. Jiaojiao also agreed to return to Beijing at the end of the year. At present, there was nothing wrong with her. After thinking about it, she said, "I can catch up with you the day after tomorrow. I've settled down for the past two days. I'll go back with you first. The child's full moon is twelve. Anyway, we can't make it. We will celebrate when the three of them return to Beijing at the end of the year. "

Old Cheng looks at his wife and wants to hear it and ask for her advice.

After hearing this, Mrs. Cheng said, "Jiaojiao, the three of them are going to visit her grandparents in Beijing. We'll talk about it when we see the kids tomorrow. "

Cheng Sijin saw that they had almost talked about it, and took his father out of the house. "Big brother, now you open the box and have a look. It happens that you and your wife have a good chat."

After watching them go, Zhou Xiaozheng lowered his head and opened the box. He saw that there were notebooks, letterheads, pocket watches, water pens, and his eyes turned red.

He closed his eyes, looked up and took a deep breath. After calming down, he stretched out his hands and touched them gently. He was afraid that there would be a mistake. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands. Then he carefully picked up the yellow letter on the top of it. Listening to the explanation of my aunt, it seemed that yesterday's scenes reappeared.
