Chapter 1245 Going back
The number of deaths in their families was no less than that of the Zhou family, so why didn’t they live a life like this?
Qian from next door got the news and rushed over. When she saw Li, she asked, "Sister-in-law, is there any news about my Changgen's father?"
Her husband was also captured that year, leaving them as an orphan and a widow to live a hard life.
this……
Li was in a difficult situation, as the letter did not say what happened to Changgen's father.
Seeing Qian's expectant look with tears in her eyes, Li comforted her, "Sister, don't worry. My brother-in-law's letter did not mention any news about him. I think they were definitely not in the same place when they were arrested.
Don't be discouraged. Guoguo's father and uncle have been together for so many years, and they can still be found. Changgen's father is probably fine too. He is so smart, he will definitely find a way to keep himself alive. There are still you and two children waiting at home, right?"
Qian lowered her head, wiped her tears, and said, "I originally thought he was dead and that the children had lost their father. Now I heard that the Dafu brothers are still alive, maybe Changgen's father is also alive?
I'm not doing this for myself, I'm just doing it for my two children. They've been bullied since they were little, and people say they're fatherless and they dream of having their own father."
In fact, the child is grown up and can set up her own household. Once she gets married and has children, and her daughter gets married, her good days will come. It will be the same with or without a man. Perhaps life will be better without a man.
But children are different. It’s different whether they have a father or not.
Li poured her a cup of tea and said, "Your father is so old now. He has learned to read for a few years and is becoming more and more capable. He loves you as his mother even more. He can take care of everything at home. He is also considerate. He has no shortage of money and has gold and silver jewelry. Others can't even dream of such a good life. It would be great if he could come back. If he can't come back, won't you and your mother still have a good life?"
In fact, she felt that she had lived alone for so many years, she had the final say on all matters big and small at home, her children were sweet and obedient, and she had money. If a man suddenly joined her in such a life, she didn't know whether it would be good or bad.
Especially Changgen's father, although hardworking, sometimes he would beat his wife when he got angry. Qian was also beaten several times in her early years.
Qian said: "I know that my life is good now, but I just feel sorry for the children. I don't need a man, but the children need a father."
Li did not comment, "We are not in a hurry at this moment. We can ask Guoguo's father when he comes back."
Qian was in a very complicated mood. "I didn't expect that after so many years, they are still alive. We thought they were gone before."
In this chaotic world, the Zhou family was captured and was able to come back safely. How much good fortune did they accumulate in their previous life?
Qian sat for a while and then left. She had thought it through and felt that what Li said was right. It would be better if the child's father came back. If he couldn't come back, their family's life would get better and better.
The Zhou family worked all night and only returned when it was almost dawn.
Just after dinner, at daybreak, there was a knock on the door.
The villagers came to the door in groups, "I heard that your Dafu brothers have been found, and they are still alive? Where are they and when will they come back?"
Everyone asked questions one after another.
The Zhou family invited them in, poured tea and served snacks, and were busy as a group.
……
Back in the capital, Zhou Guo has been pestering her father and uncle to tell them about their deeds over the years these days. She wants them to tell her everything in detail. After they finish, she also tells them about the changes in the family over the years. Zhou Dacang had only given a general idea before, but he had not been at home for these years and didn't know many things.
The two brothers were filled with emotion. Zhou Dacai said, "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so many years, your family has become so wealthy. Your uncle and I have been in the army for so many years, and we never dared to think that when we found you, you would have lived such a life."
Zhou Dafu laughed and said, "Your father and I worked so hard to save money. We saved every penny we earned, thinking that we would buy you some things when we returned one day. I never thought that our family had become so rich, even richer than the landlords!"
Those rich people dare not look up when walking on the street, for fear of bumping into important people.
Although the two had heard a lot about their family's deeds and seen Zhou Dacang and Zhou Guo's current identities over the past few days, they were still not used to it sometimes. In a matter of days, they went from being bullied by everyone's firemen to being flattered by everyone's nobles.
The changes are too great.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "If you buy them something this time, no matter what it is, they will be very happy. Dad, uncle, the family just has more money, and nothing else has changed. The brothers have been studying for so many years, and now they have a solid knowledge. Next year, the two brothers will take the exam. If they pass, then you will be the sons of the scholar master."
The two people's mouth corners couldn't help but rise. Master Xiucai, when their family was well off in previous years, they had thought about it, but later when it was not so good, they didn't dare to think about it. Who would have thought that one day, the family would get back on its feet again.
Zhou Dacai sighed, "Over the years, your uncle and I have been working as firemen in the logistics department. Seeing those who have fought and made contributions on the battlefield, it's not that we haven't thought about going to the battlefield, but seeing some people who were promoted and buried in the ground within a few days, we don't have the courage to do so. It's better to be a fireman, at least the danger is not that great."
The two men didn't dare to die as there were so many old and young people at home. However, they didn't expect that when they finally found the way home, their family members were living much better than them, and it was the same with or without them.
Zhou Guo said, "Then you two must have become very good cooks over the years."
Talking about this, both of them laughed.
Zhou Dafu said, "That's right. Otherwise, why can your father and I, two strong laborers, stay in the kitchen all the time? It's because we have good cooking skills. Even wild vegetables can be cooked to taste good. Otherwise, we would have been driven out to the front long ago."
Zhou Guo said: "My mother's cooking skills have improved a lot over the years. Dad, uncle, when you go back, you can show off your cooking skills in front of them."
Mrs. Li has become increasingly busy in recent years and has gradually had less time to cook. All the meals at home have been prepared by the chef in recent years.
But they are actually quite willing to eat food cooked by their own family.
Zhou Dafu asked, "Guo'er, when do you think your father and I can go back? I've had enough of this military camp."
Zhou Dacai nodded, "I think something big is going to happen in this military camp recently. Your uncle is a general, so he should stay here. The three of us should go back to the north. I haven't seen your mother and the others, as well as the old friends in the village, for many years."
