Chapter 1259 Returning Home 2
Wu Ya hurriedly coaxed her in a soft voice.
Wang Fugui smiled and said, "Great! This fat boy is so loud. He must be welcoming his grandfathers. It's a good sign!"
When he said this, everyone laughed and said yes, yes.
It’s a happy thing that the two brothers can come back after so many years. It’s indeed a good omen!
The atmosphere suddenly became heated.
Li smiled and said, "Our boss is back. We will prepare a feast tomorrow. Everyone can come to our house for a drink. You don't need to bring anything. Let's all go home and have some fun together."
"That's great, we have something delicious to eat again!"
"Such a big happy event, we must come and share in your family's blessings!"
Wang Fugui and his friends surrounded Zhou Dafu and Zhou Dacai and asked them all sorts of questions, extremely curious. "Where have you two been all these years? You don't know, your Dacang and Guoguo have been looking for you for many years, and luckily we finally found you."
Zhou Dacai said a few words briefly, "It's not something that can be explained in a short time, we will talk about it slowly later."
There will be many opportunities in the future.
The villagers were also tactful. When they saw the two men, they said a few words to them and then said goodbye and went back. The two brothers had just returned and hadn't seen their family for many years. They must have a lot to talk about, and it would not be good if they followed them.
Those who were not tactful were taken away by their families or villagers. The Zhou family was the god of wealth in the village.
After the villagers left, Li said, "It's cold outside, let's go home and talk."
Wang Fugui and Zhou Cheng saw that all the villagers had left, so they knew what to do and said, "Brother Dafu and Brother Dacai, you guys should go back and have a rest first. We won't bother you any more. We'll come over tomorrow and have a drink together."
The two nodded, "Okay, okay, let's go over for a drink some other day."
They do have a lot to say to their family members, and they also want to know how their family has been doing over the years, and it is always inconvenient for outsiders to be around.
Halfway through the journey, everyone except Qian's mother and her two children turned back.
Only at this time did Qian squeeze in next to the Zhou family.
Li saw that she was thinking of her husband, so she asked Zhou Dacai, "Child's father, Changgen's father was arrested like you guys back then, wasn't he with you guys?"
"What, Changgen's father was also arrested?" Zhou Dafu blurted out in surprise. Many people were arrested in the county that year, but they didn't see Changgen's father.
Upon hearing this, Changgen and his sister were extremely disappointed. Did this mean they didn't see their father?
Qian's expression was extremely complicated, as if she was relieved, but also seemed even more disappointed.
Zhou Dacai consoled them, "There were many people arrested like us back then. We were taken away on the day we were arrested, and many of the arrested people were also separated. We did not see Changgen's father. However, no news is also good news. We are all alive, and I'm sure Brother Changgen can survive, too. Dacang and Guo'er are in the capital, and they will go to the capital to look for him when they hear the news."
This brought hope to several people. Yes, if both of them survived, maybe the person is still alive?
Qian left in a hurry with her two children. The Zhou family was reunited today, and Zhou and Su and the others now had a father, so they didn't want the children to feel sad when they saw him.
The family was getting closer and closer to home. Zhou Su pointed to the big house not far away and said happily: "Dad, uncle, look, that's our home."
The two looked at the large house that was very different from other houses in the village and were startled, "Why is our house so big?"
As the two walked along, they realized that every household in this village was wealthy. They built the largest house they could. Now, looking at their own house, it was much bigger than the others.
Li said, "This is only four courtyards, not very big. We plan to build a few more small courtyards next to it, so that there will be enough living space."
After Zhou Dacang and Zhou Mi and others get married, they can’t still live in their current house, right?
Now their family status is different, and the girls they marry are all from wealthy families. When wealthy families marry off their daughters, the dowry is dozens of loads. How can one room be enough for them?
She originally thought of building only one yard, but then she thought about building a few more so that when the family comes back they will have a place to live, and it will be spacious. After all, this is their root, and the family will definitely come back to live here.
Zhou Mai said, "Dad, uncle, let's go in first and take a look after we get in."
It’s been so cold along the way.
The group finally arrived at the door of the house. The servants placed a brazier in front of the door. Stepping over the brazier would get rid of the bad luck, and the rest of the life would be good.
The two men stepped over the brazier one after another, and Zhou Su and others followed suit and also stepped over the brazier.
In fact, along the way, the two of them had seen many villas and houses purchased by Zhou Guo, some of which were large houses, but they did not feel a sense of belonging to any of them.
Now that I have really entered the house, I hear Zhou Su and the others describing every detail of the house, what this is used for, what that is used for, whose room this is, whose study that is, who bought that thing, and why they bought it...
I just felt a sense of familiarity coming over me, looking left and right, I couldn’t bear to blink, this is the home they have been thinking about day and night!
They went around the house.
The two finally came to the ancestral hall and burned incense for their parents and ancestors.
The two brothers knelt on the ground, burning paper for Huang and Old Zhou who died on the way to escape, chanting as they burned, "Mom, Dad, I am back, I hope you are all right over there, I am sorry for you, I was not by your side when you left, and you still worry about me and die with regrets, I am such an unfilial son!!"
As they talked, the two of them began to cry bitterly, calling for their parents, with tears and snot streaming down their faces.
They had just gone out to find a job, but they never expected that they would meet again so many years later. Both of them were old and had missed them until their death, which made them feel uneasy when they left.
The two of them cried so hard that they couldn't get up.
Zhou Gu and his brothers knelt behind him and started crying too.
When Li thought of the situation at that time, her eyes also turned red.
The old man sighed as he listened outside, thinking how fate could play tricks on them. Fortunately, the two were still alive. How could this not be considered the blessing from heaven for the old couple?
The two of them knelt in front of the tablets of Old Zhou and Huang and cried bitterly until their eyes were swollen into slits.
After a long time, Zhou Gu and others came forward and helped the two men up.
"Dad, grandpa and grandma have been gone for so many years. If you keep crying like this, they won't be at peace down there. We have to make them happy. Get up now."
It was late at this time and the kang was filled with dishes.
The family entered the house, and before they sat down, the two brothers knelt down again.
After the two men knelt, Zhou Mai and the others could no longer stand. The whole family, including Li, knelt down.
The old man was the only one sitting on the kang. He had just sat down when he saw the family in this state. He immediately stood up and asked, "What are you doing?"
