There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Chapter 217 The Cheng Family Arrives

Zhang Guoqing quietly pulled his mother-in-law, and the two of them retreated outside gently. All the way to the kitchen, both of them were relatively silent. At this time, no one knew what to say, and they all sat quietly. Things were so sudden that they came head-on without any buffer.

Zhang Guoqing thought about many situations, but he didn't expect such a sad thing. In this way, I also understand why Mr. Zhou treats their father and daughter like this. One is not his own, and the other is cousin, but he has been under the light of his cousin for a long time. With his temperament, he must be envious and jealous. The defeat was on Zhou Jinyu's head. It is estimated that Gu Mingzhu should have left a lot of things at that time, and seeing that his cousins ​​who were better than him had passed away, he decided to return to his hometown to live a stable life.

Thinking of his father-in-law, Zhang Guoqing sighed deeply, he must recognize his father. Fortunately, Zhou Xiaocun was spared, even if they took care of his father-in-law, the grievances had long been paid off. The old lady may really be reluctant to part with her adopted son, but if she says that old man Zhou is reluctant to part with her, that is pure nonsense.

Lin Lishan followed with a sigh, and said in a low voice: Your grandma belongs to the Jiangnan Gu family. I knew the Gu Mingzhu I mentioned just now, but I never thought that my mother-in-law is actually Gu Mingzhu.

Zhang Guoqing looked at her curiously, Mom, aren't you and my dad cousins? We're a family after going around, it's really a fate.

Hey, distant cousin. I don't know how your dad is doing? Shall we go and see?

Wait for you to go in and comfort me. I'll think about it outside first. This is a real headache. My dad will definitely re-recognize his ancestors. Grandpa can't be free at all, and let people know that the main house of the Zhou family is still alive. There is blood, wait a few days to see what Dad has to say.

Xiao Wu, are you in there? Xiao Wu, I'm your second brother, come out quickly... There was a shout from outside the door.

Zhou Guoqing hurriedly stood up and walked out, Mom, it was my second brother who was calling outside, so it must be that Jiaojiao has something to do? After finishing speaking, he ran out quickly.

When Lin Lishan heard that something might happen to Zhou Jiao, she was too frightened to think about anything else and hurriedly followed him out.

Zhang Guoqing didn't have time to reply, he ran to the yard and opened the door, he was stunned, What's the matter? Where did you come from, Grandpa? And... everyone, come in first.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, there was a dark crowd of old people, middle-aged people, and young people in military uniforms, who were particularly conspicuous under the light outside the courtyard. He saw an old couple in the front supporting each other, with tears in each other's eyes, staring at the courtyard in anticipation and excitement.

Zhang Guoqing had a flash of inspiration, and blurted out, Liu Xizhi?

Mr. Cheng immediately stopped in his tracks and looked at him, You are Zhou Xiaozheng's son-in-law, yes, you have good eyesight. Take us to see your father, is he in there?

Zhang Guoqing saw his mother-in-law stumbling over, and hurriedly shouted: Mom, it's not Jiaojiao's business. Slow down, and be careful not to fall.

After finishing speaking, Mr. Cheng and the others walked in and said, My dad just found out about his background. Please take your time. When he recovers, he will be in the living room with Mrs. Zhou.

Seeing them nodding, he breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly observed each other, especially the old lady among them, who should be Liu Xizhi, who should be about the same age as Gu Mingzhu. A husband and wife look like professors, their uniforms don't reveal their military ranks, but even if Mr. Guan Lin takes half a step back in front of him, his status can be seen. As soon as You Qi came in, the guards around him were always on alert. Why did they come here? It was dark by the time, and it didn't look like they arrived by train, and there was a military doctor behind them. Looking at Xiao Zhou's eyes looking at him, there was nothing unusual, and he finally felt at ease.

Zhou Xiao was in the living room when he heard someone calling outside, and the voice seemed to be the second child of the Zhang family. Just as he wanted to get up, he saw his son-in-law running to open the door. He listened carefully to the movement outside—a lot of people came, and they were soldiers.

He stabilized his emotions, straightened his clothes, and said to the restless old lady: Mother, don't think too much. You are my mother after all. You raised me. Don't say anything else, there are guests coming , we’ll talk about these things later.”

Seeing that the old lady was fine, Zhou Xiao was walking out, and as soon as he went out, he saw Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng coming towards him. He raised his eyebrows, and suddenly realized that Mrs. Cheng might be Liu Xizhi, who later changed her name to Liu Qinglian. No wonder he has been unable to find her. With her identity and the industry she was engaged in in the early years, he really has nothing to do with it.

Old Madam Cheng looked at Zhou Xiaozheng in front of her, and couldn't stop her tears. She pushed away the hand supported by her husband, rushed forward quickly, hugged him tightly and cried, trembling all over, her fingers clasped Zhou Xiaozheng's arm tightly.

Zhou Xiaozheng didn't dare to move, stretched out his hand, and patted her lightly, It's okay, we're all fine, let's go in and sit down and talk slowly. Seeing that the other party was loose, he hurriedly supported her to the chair and sat down .

Zhang Guoqing looked and saw that there was nothing wrong with him. He saw that everyone hadn't eaten yet, and it was inconvenient to go to a restaurant to talk about things. He took his second brother and asked him to help call the eldest sister Zhang Meili to come and cook.

Seeing his second brother go out, he led Xiao Zhou and the others to the kitchen, Brother Zhou, this place is not big, I have wronged you, I can only bring you to the kitchen, you have to help me take care of several old brothers. Brothers , Today you have a good fortune, today just came seafood, I guess you haven't eaten yet, let's do it ourselves, figure it out by ourselves, whoever wants to drink can pour it himself.

Xiao Zhou sat down at the table with a smile, pulled Xiao Chen beside him to sit down, and greeted other colleagues, Sit down quickly, there is no need to be polite with Xiao Wu, you will know his temper in the future, he doesn't like to put on airs. Just treat him as your younger brother. Xiaowu, what are you busy with? Just give him something to eat, don't mess around.

Zhang Guoqing put two bamboo baskets on the side of the table, and pointed to the conch and seafood, They are all fresh and alive. The hut in front is the warehouse, and if there is not enough, take it by yourself. I will light the fire first, and any of you will clean it up yourself. If I come here, I can only boil it, who is good at it?

A soldier stood up, looked at the bamboo basket, and said with a smile: It seems that I still need to do it, Xiao Wu, right? You go to entertain the old man, and we will come here by ourselves. As long as you don't worry about eating you down.

Zhang Guoqing laughed loudly and said, Brother, don't underestimate my inventory. You won't be able to eat whatever you want today. Let's cook some of our own appetizers first, and cook later when my sister comes over.

After finishing speaking, he went to the warehouse and moved two jars of wine into the kitchen. Seeing that they were doing it themselves, he left and walked to the living room. Standing not far outside, seeing that nothing happened inside, he went out of the yard and went to The car quickly drove towards the fat master.

On the eastern outskirts of the county seat, Zhang Guoqing got off the car and went to the courtyard kitchen. Fortunately, there were not many guests tonight, so he could order a few more dishes.

Master Fat, oops, I'm here again. This time it's an emergency, can you prepare a meal for me? I'm going to take it away. There is no way, the honored guest can only find you when I get old.

The fat master laughed out loud when he saw Zhang Guoqing, I'm glad you're here. Is there any business that you don't want to do? Can you take it away?

It can be taken away. I can drive back and forth quickly. But the dishes and chopsticks must be used first. If you need them urgently, I will deliver them tonight.

What are the requirements for eating? You have to tell me first.

Three old people, five or six soldiers, the main speed is fast, I guess I haven't eaten in a hurry until now. How long do you think I will have to wait?

The fat master looked at the ingredients and thought about it for a while, I have a count, you bring the wine and cold dishes first, and when I come back, I'm almost ready. Three stoves are fired at once, very fast.

Thank you fat master, you can arrange it. I will listen to you, an expert.
