There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

On the road from the county town to Zhou's Village, five military vehicles drove towards Zhou's house at high speed. The first car in the lead was the old couple Cheng, Zhou Xiaozheng and Mrs. Zhou, and Zhang Guoqing drove the car carefully.

Zhou Xiaozheng pondered for a while, and told him, Xiao Wu, let us be at the gate of Zhou's house later, and you go to the old patriarch's grandson and the current patriarch to come to Zhou's house together. Let them all bring the genealogy.

Understood. Zhang Guoqing replied immediately, and he also planned to call the newly appointed captain and clan elder in the village.

Five cars drove into the entrance of the village with a bang. At this time, some villagers noticed that they were all driving towards the old Zhou's house, and immediately patted on the door of the neighbor's house, Something went wrong, five cars came to Zhou's house.

Maybe Zhou Xiao is going home? What could happen?

The other party said anxiously: No, I saw that it was full of soldiers, and there were also people inside. Let's go and have a look, something really happened.

Zhang Guoqing watched them all get out of the car, and hurriedly turned around to find the patriarch and the grandson of the old patriarch. Driving all the way into the village, he has already seen many people walking towards Zhou's house in secret.

Mr. Cheng supported his wife and knocked on the courtyard door without waiting for Mrs. Zhou to come forward, and led a group of people into the main room. As soon as he entered, he saw several men sitting in the main room, the oldest one on the kang should be Zhou Jiaren.

Mr. Zhou's son, Zhou Jiaren, was shocked when he saw these soldiers barging in. He dropped his pipe on the ground and pointed at the old Mr. and Mrs. Cheng.

Mr. Cheng sneered and said, What? Seeing that we should understand that we are looking for you, right? Do you think we can't find the child if you hide it?

Mr. Zhou was trembling all over, and said falteringly: You, what are you talking about? I don't understand.

Seeing a few people around Old Man Zhou shouting, Mr. Cheng told Xiao Chen, You hold down all the people around this old man.

After finishing speaking, he directly supported his wife to sit on the chair, and said to him with a cold face: Fake it? You think I will come to the door without evidence? I think you won't cry when you see the coffin.

Seeing that the eldest son and two grandsons of the family were pushed to the ground and begged him with their heads up, Mr. Zhou hurriedly turned his face away and sat on the kang with his head down, motionless.

Mr. Cheng knew that he was unwilling to give up, so he ignored him. After everyone was seated, he said, Gu Mingzhu told you to bring the token to find Liu Xizhi. Why didn't you fulfill your promise? The box is still stuffed with gold and silver dollars. Are you not full? You can use the tokens of the Zhou and Gu families with peace of mind, and you are not afraid that the heroic souls of Zhou Jinyu and Gu Mingzhu will find you?

Seeing that he still didn't respond, Mr. Cheng patted his anxious wife, and then said: Gu Mingzhu left a small box for the child at the beginning, kept the photos taken abroad as a record, and even explained the characteristics on paper. Do you want Should I call the police and have someone searched, or should I take the initiative to confess? The old patriarch has passed away, but you really think there is no proof? What kind of person Gu Mingzhu is, you will not be confused.

I spent a few days looking for your comrades-in-arms and your wife's colleagues. Also go to the Army/Ministry Archives, Household/Registration Section, Veterans/Military/Military/Personnel Office. After finding all the documents, do you think I will travel overnight on a military plane without any evidence or physical evidence?

Seeing that he was still silent, Mr. Cheng sneered a few times and didn't speak, just waiting for him to express his opinion.

Everyone in the living room was quietly waiting for Mr. Zhou to speak, but seeing him like that was cheating.

Zhou Xiao looked at Old Man Zhou expressionlessly, no one knew what he was thinking. Lin Lishan tugged at his hand worriedly, seeing that he was still indifferent.

Dad, the patriarch and the grandson of the old patriarch are here. I also invited the captain and two elders. Zhang Guoqing noticed something strange when he entered the room, and said to him softly.

Xiao Chen also came in at this time and whispered something in Old Cheng's ear, and Old Cheng nodded.

When the patriarch and the others came in, Mr. Cheng asked people to move chairs for them to sit down, and said, I invite you to come over to be a witness today. You should all remember Zhou Jiaheng, the youngest son of the main house in the capital, Zhou Jinyu, and his wife is the main house of the Gu family in Jiangnan. The direct descendants of Gu Mingzhu, these two people should be recorded in your genealogy.

At that time Zhou Jinyu left, Gu Mingzhu took the newborn child to find the old patriarch, entrusted Zhou Jinyu's cousin Zhou Jiaren to take care of the child temporarily, and gave a lot of gold and silver dollars, these were handled by my wife Liu Xizhi. In addition, Gu Mingzhu left behind a small wooden box, which contained the Gu family's suet jade and Zhou Jinyu's seal, as well as the amulet around the child's neck as a token. It was agreed that if she did not come to find the child, the old patriarch and Zhou Jiaren would bring the token as a gift. The child was raised by his aunt Liu Xizhi.

My wife is Liu Xizhi, the adopted daughter of the main house of the Gu family. We have been waiting for more than forty years, but no one has come to our door. We have searched all over the country and still can't find it.

Now that we are looking for you, as the son-in-law of the Gu family, I must ask your Zhou family to give me an attitude. Zhou Xiao is the son of Zhou Jinyu, the only blood and blood of the Gu family and the Zhou family's direct line, so he must be recognized.

I don't want to say how much they have suffered in this vein. I just want to know if Zhou Jiaren admits the facts, if he plays stupid again, I will call the police immediately. We have the vouchers and photos left by Gu Mingzhu, as well as personal and physical evidence to prove that Zhou Xiaozheng is not Zhou Jiaren's biological son.

The patriarch looked at Mr. Zhou who bowed his head in silence, sighed, and turned his head to discuss in a low voice with the two elders beside him. After a while, the patriarch opened the family tree, opened it, took the old family tree, compared the two books, and looked at Mr. Zhou, Jiaren, what do you say? Express your opinion.

Cheng Lao took the box from Cheng Sijin, opened it, took out a stack of notes and photos, picked two and handed them to the patriarch.

This is a photo of the family's jade pendant and small seal in the keepsake, as well as the characteristics described by Gu Mingzhu. If he doesn't export it, I will have someone call the police to search Zhou's house.

An elder of the Zhou family yelled angrily, If you don't speak again, I'll have someone hand over your family to the clan. Do you still want to get away with it? Isn't your family's embarrassment enough?

Mr. Zhou looked up at everyone, opened his mouth to say something, then closed it, lowered his head and kept silent.

The patriarch frowned and said, You have nothing to say, just hand over your things. The evidence is all there, if you don't say anything, we're leaving, and then you go to the cell for dinner or where, we really don't care.

Hearing this, old man Zhou lowered his head and touched his chest lightly, reluctantly and slowly took out a bloodstone seal from his chest, looked at it, closed his eyes and handed it to the patriarch, then got up and went to the back room.

Old Cheng gave Xiao Chen a look, and Xiao Chen followed him in. After a while, Mr. Zhou came out with a small box.

The old lady Cheng went up to grab the box crying, and gently FMed with her hands, It's this box. This is the box my sister took out with me at the time. She hugged her tightly in her arms and howled loudly.

Zhou Xiaozheng and Cheng Sijin rushed forward to hug her, and quickly fed her medicine and water.

Once the old lady Cheng regained her senses, she hurriedly stuffed the box into Zhou Xiaozheng's arms, Look, this is given to you by your mother. Open it and have a look, and you must put it away.

Mr. Cheng took Zhou Jinyu's seal and handed it to his wife, First, see if it belongs to your brother-in-law? And sister's jade pendant, please show me.

Mrs. Cheng picked up the seal, looked at it, and nodded with tears in her face, It belongs to my brother-in-law. There is a black spot here. My brother-in-law said that he wanted to engrave a dragon pattern on it for a finishing touch.

Zhou Xiaozheng opened the box and saw that there was a round piece of top-quality suet jade inside, he curled his lips ironically, it really touched people's hearts with wealth.

Cheng Lao saw that the token had been received, smiled at the old patriarch's grandson, and asked, Don't be nervous, did your grandpa mention anything about Xiaozheng? We want to hear about it.

The other party smiled honestly and said: I have lived for a long time, and it has been too long, I remember that the old man left by accident and did not leave any words. He will not tell us if he has something to do. He often says he is ignorant It is a blessing.

The patriarch looked at Zhou Jiaren and asked him, Where is the gold left? What words did Gu Mingzhu leave before he left?

Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Mr. Zhou broke the pot and said in a muffled voice: Those Gu Mingzhu agreed with us at the time that it was child support. They also left some to donate to the clan.

At that time, my wife happened to have a miscarriage. Gu Mingzhu and the old patriarch came to the door and entrusted us to take care of the child temporarily for a year or two. Gu Mingzhu asked the old patriarch to add the word Zhou Xiaozheng under Zhou Jinyu in the family tree, saying that Zhou Jinyu had ordered her. After the old patriarch added his name to the old family tree, he heard Gu Mingzhu say that many people were staring at the Gu family's property, and that the child was in danger now, and she had to take care of it before taking the child back. He copied a new family tree again, intending to add it to the new family tree when the world is stable, and keep the old family tree as evidence.

She did mean that before the child was three years old, she brought a token to look for Liu Xizhi when she didn't show up. But how to find them with children? When the child grows up and the patriarch leaves, I don't want to part with the child. He is a child of our Zhou family, so I don't feel at ease handing it over to outsiders.

Mrs. Cheng hurriedly asked: Then did my sister say anything at that time?

No, let's just say that the child's father is gone. She is also very dangerous now. If she can't come back and Liu Xizhi can't be found. Wait for the child to be sensible and tell him his life experience, and said that Zhou Jinyu ordered him Children, don't forget to learn martial arts, the gold is just in case, and it will be used by the children to find a master in the future.

Mr. Cheng immediately asked him, Where did you find Liu Xizhi?

Leave us two addresses, one south and one north. Gd and the outskirts of the capital. It's too far away, so we didn't send our children there.

Mr. Cheng ignored his explanation, looked at his wife, saw her nodding, and said, The matter has been clarified. Forget about the gold. Patriarch, when do you think the child can go to the ancestral hall?

After the patriarch and the others discussed it, they said, Let's bring the genealogy to the ancestral hall tomorrow morning. As for worshiping, you can go on your own.

Cheng Lao nodded, knowing that the tomb of Zhou Jinyu's house was in the suburbs of the capital, and those who worshiped here were also ancestors. Then let's make an appointment like this. See you directly at the ancestral hall tomorrow morning.

Looking at Zhou Xiaozheng again, Son, do you have anything else to say?

Zhou Xiaozheng shook his head, stood up, walked in front of Mrs. Zhou, knelt down and kowtowed three times, I will not come back here in the future. If you miss me, write to me, and I will pick you up for retirement.

After speaking, he stood up, saw the old lady covering her mouth with her hands and weeping in a low voice, became cruel, turned around and walked to the old lady Cheng to support her to leave.

Mr. Cheng saw that Zhou Xiaozheng and his wife had already left, Let's all go. I will trouble everyone tonight.

Watching them leave, Mr. Zhou sat in the main room, silent all the time. After a while, ignoring the reproachful eyes of his son and grandson, he got up and went straight into the bedroom.

Tonight is a nightmare for Zhou's parents. Zhou Xiaocun looked at the old mother, but didn't come forward to comfort him, and took his sons back to the house.

The eldest son, Zhou Lidong, prevented his family from asking questions, and asked himself: Dad, you already knew that my uncle was not relative, didn't you? Even my aunt knows, right?

Zhou Xiaocun glanced at the people in the room, looked at their frustrated expressions, and said angrily: So what if I knew it earlier? He was raised by our family. The fault is that your father took so much gold and didn't say anything. If I knew it earlier Zhou Xiaozheng's life experience is so difficult, how could things get so out of hand? Your father is a fool. Well, we're all gone, and we will all settle down in the future.

I won't dare to go out anymore. As soon as the ancestral hall opens tomorrow morning, everything will spread. It's embarrassing. The youngest son muttered, watching his father's face gradually becoming afraid to make a sound.
