There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

The old lady Zhou stood up before she finished listening, looked at him in shock, her eyes were incredible, pointed at him, and asked tremblingly: How do you know Liu Xizhi? She came to you? You know Already? Then you go back to Zhou’s house?”

Zhang Guoqing stopped his mother-in-law from coming forward and motioned her to silence. Lin Lishan looked at them suspiciously. She saw the old lady's appearance just after she came out of the back room.

I knew about it when the old patriarch was still alive. Zhou Xiaozheng didn't say that he still couldn't find it. When he joined the army, he was looking for Liu Xizhi, and he felt that this person was very important to him. But decades have passed, and even a shadow has not been found.

Mother, sit down, let's talk slowly, I was still young at that time, I only remember the old patriarch touching my head and whispering that it's a pity, poor, I still remember that look.

When I know Liu Xizhi's name, the old patriarch has passed away, so I won't be able to ask anyone. Who owns the genealogy of our Zhou family? As soon as Jiaojiao was born, I asked my father to enter the family tree. Has Zhou Jiao of my family been included in the family tree?

The old lady Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, looked at him and said, You have long suspected that you are not our own? But you never told me in advance.

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at her with a wry smile, How should I say it? I can't count how you treat me? What's the difference between the one who was born and the one who was raised? If Jiaojiao hadn't been wronged so much and you were so embarrassing, I would I don't even want to mention it. But I'm old too, and I want to know who my parents are?

Why did my father change his face every time he mentioned ancestor worship and genealogy when he went back to his hometown, and would do everything possible to stop it? For example, when I came back this time, I didn't even say anything about ancestor worship. It stands to reason that I survived the catastrophe, and Jiaojiao gave birth to a son, so I have to go to offer incense, but who am I? What kind of incense do I buy?

No, you should offer incense. I have already offered incense for you. You are not the flesh and blood of the Zhou family, you are not a descendant of the Zhou family. Who has the right to say that you are the Zhou family?

Zhou Xiaozheng stepped forward and squatted in front of her, looking at her, Mother, since I am the blood of the Zhou family, whose child am I? Why does no one in the family know? Is Liu Xizhi the one who gave birth to me? Did she give me my amulet? So you told me not to lose it, saying that I might use it in the future? I checked. I went out when I was fifteen. I checked, but I couldn’t find anyone. The amulet is Jiangnan Lingyin Temple asked for it, and the outside kits are not common to temples, the materials are very precious, and the embroidery is used, and this technique is not yours.

The old lady Zhou touched his head, looked at his expectant eyes, and nodded, Decades have passed, if you want to know, you should tell you. I owe you, and we are sorry for you. .

It's a long story. At the beginning, I had to hide it. Later, I couldn't bear to part with you, and I couldn't wait for someone to pick you up. After a long time, I even forgot that you were not born by me. It was only later that Jiaojiao grew bigger and bigger, and she became more and more like her, and I woke up, but you were no longer there. If you don't say it today, I still don't plan to say it. It's been more than forty years, and I think she's gone long ago. Those years were too chaotic, and it was not easy to live, let alone such an outstanding woman. People are gone, what's the use of telling you, why make you sad.

This matter has to start with your great-grandfather. When you get up, sit down and listen slowly, you will understand that we have selfish intentions, and there are very big reasons why we don’t want to tell you. You will also understand why your father loves and hates you. He is just venting his anger.

The Zhou family can be regarded as an aristocratic family. The ancestors have been in the officialdom since the Ming Dynasty, and the clan members have been separated, but the eldest son of the main house has been staying in the capital. After your great-grandfather gave birth to your grandfather, the eldest son of your original spouse, he then gave birth to two concubine sons. He only had three sons in his life, and he paid special attention to the upbringing of his children. The three of them have the same father and half mother, but they have a very good relationship, and there is no big family. It's just like this. After your great-grandfather passed away, your grandfather didn't agree with your two younger brothers returning to their ancestral land. In addition, the three brothers only had five sons, which seemed to be small in number. are all left.

The most outstanding children of the Zhou family over the years are all the sons and grandsons of the main house. It is not surprising in this generation. Your grandfather only has two sons, but each is better than the other. The eldest son Zhou Jiayi has a unique vision. He was invited by the authorities several times and was highly respected by the literati at that time.

The youngest son, Zhou Jiaheng, whose name is Jinyu, is even more outstanding. He is born with a photographic memory. He is very talented and has a great reputation at a young age. In addition, he is good-looking. When he is fifteen years old, everyone jokingly calls him Young Master Yu. Zhou Jinyu, he is the pride of the Zhou family, a well-known gentleman.

The Zhou family has been a scholarly family for generations, with a comfortable life but little wealth. Zhou Jinyu has a fiancée Gu Mingzhu who is in love with him. The Gu family is a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, and Gu Mingzhu is the only child of the principal son of the Gu family. She lives up to her name. Isn't Mingzhu dazzling? She is very talented, a real talented woman, and even a wealthy woman with frightening wealth.

Zhou Jinyu and Gu Mingzhu left the country very early, and when they returned to the country, the world became more and more chaotic. Today, Fu*xing*, tomorrow, the volunteer group, the two families have set a date for their wedding in the coming year. Not long after they get married, an accident happened Yes, the eight-nation-alliance-army has entered Beijing. The Zhou family was bloodbathed by the little devils in the coalition army in the name of harboring members of the Boxer Regiment. On the surface, apart from Zhou Jiaren, Zhou Jinyu was still alive. At that time, Zhou Jinyu was already one of those people with lofty ideals, and after returning to China, he did a lot of activities secretly. It also happened that on the day when the incident happened, we happened to have a wedding at home, and his personal attendant pretended to be him to cover him when he went out, so Zhou Jinyu escaped unharmed. Afterwards, whether for the sake of his ambition or revenge, he kept his name anonymous.

At that time, the Gu family had too much wealth and was the only Gu Mingzhu. Apart from the clan members, bandits and bullies outside were all watching. In addition to the news of Zhou Jinyu's death, what made it worse was that Gu Mingzhu's parents passed away within a year. The crisis at every turn forced the two of them to negotiate for safety, so Gu Mingzhu feigned death.

After fleeing Jiangnan, the two got married, and Gu Mingzhu also joined the organization. At that time, the situation was very tense, and Zhou Jinyu died in an accident, leaving behind Gu Mingzhu who was pregnant. Gu Mingzhu endured her grief and secretly gave birth to a boy. For the safety of the child, and also to leave roots for the two families, she tried her best, and finally thought of Zhou Jinyu's hometown in the Northeast. Exposure, no matter the comrades or enemies around him, for the sake of the Gu family's huge wealth, they will do something to the child. The only thing she can look for is the old patriarch that her husband said. When I arrived at Zhoujia Village, I just learned that Zhou Jinyu's cousin was in the army and already had two children. After discussing with the old patriarch, the two of them took the children and secretly went to the capital. The child on the genealogy is under the name of Zhou Jinyu, and then write a new genealogy and put it back in the family. Before leaving, Gu Mingzhu took down a kit as a token, worried that she would not live to see the child grow up, and made an appointment that in case she did not come back to look for the child, a woman named Liu Xizhi would come to pick up the token and tell her Features, give the child to her.

At that time, my youngest son who was just over five months old died prematurely, so I hugged you like this as our youngest son. Your father's untimely death made your father a little discouraged. He decided to leave the army and bring his family back to his hometown. Your father also came back from the army, and he hasn't left Zhoujia Village since then, and your mother hasn't come back to see you, nor has anyone named Liu Xizhi come to your door.

Zhou Xiaozheng knew that his parents were probably gone from the old lady's narration, but he didn't expect that there were so many things going on inside. He leaned on the back of the chair, raised his head, closed his eyes, and covered them tightly with his hands.
