There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

The ancestors of the Zhou family first branched from the south, and later, the partial houses in the capital moved to the northeast, and gradually formed a large village—this is the Zhou family village today. The Zhou family ancestral hall, which was renovated two years ago, stands on the east side of the village.

Before liberation, the surrounding area was still a wasteland. Now, not far from the ancestral hall to the east is the old house of the Zhou family, and not far from the side is the office of the Zhoujia village production team.

The car parked far away on the flat land in front of the office of the production team. Zhang Guoqing got out of the car, he picked up the basket and led Zhou Jiao towards the ancestral hall.

From a distance, you can see that the two vermilion doors of the ancestral hall have been opened. Beside the two stone lions at the gate, there were crowds of onlookers standing at the moment.

Seeing Zhou Jiao and his wife coming over, some people in the crowd began to greet them with smiles.

Zhou Jiao looked at everyone with a smile on her face. There was the greeting of her husband and everyone beside her ears. At this moment, scenes of childhood memories reappeared in her mind.

After all, the small house at the side entrance of the ancestral hall was her childhood home. This small house was the safe haven she spent the longest time in, and the only place where she could feel at ease.

Here she can stay alone freely, not afraid of being calculated. Here is her paradise, no one stops, no one disturbs.

Zhou Jiao left Zhang Guoqing and wandered into the small room alone. There was still a familiar musty smell in the air, and everything in the room made her feel at ease. This small space used to be where she settled down.

Here she wrote the first stroke of her life. Here she embroidered, drew, and recited many firsts. In addition to secretly studying here, it is also here that she secretly huddled in a corner and licked her wounds secretly, crying silently.

Here, facing the inaccessible tablet, during those dark years, she silently told her father about the resentment, helplessness, and pain in her heart.

It was also here that she met Zhang Guoqing when she was a child for the first time.

It was also here that she fought back her tears and made up her mind to entrust her life to Zhang Guoqing.

Zhou Jiao strolled to the corner, and lightly FMed the marks drawn horizontally and horizontally on the corner of the wall. At that time, she used all her strength to engrave her sadness and hatred here and in her heart. Looking back on all the past, she still couldn't help but feel sad for herself.

Blinking, Zhou Jiao looked up at the pillars on the roof, and she tried to smile slightly. Fortunately, her father is back, and her father is no longer on the tablet. It's time for her to be grateful, she doesn't need to indulge in hatred.

Zhang Guoqing didn't see Zhou Jiao in a blink of an eye, exchanged a few words with everyone, and then came in immediately. Looking at her back at this moment, he stepped forward and patted her lightly, and said in a low voice: Let's go, it's all over. We'll get off of Dad's piece of broken wood later. Everything is over, we all go to Look ahead.

Yeah. It's over. Never coming back here.

Zhou Jiao walked out of the room, and finally took a deep look inside. She closed the door gently. After a squeak, the door closed, as if the past was also locked inside.

Zhang Guoqing carried the basket and led her back to the main entrance.

The two stood there watching the patriarch and they were busy opening doors and windows, while the women of the clan were whispering there. Today is a big day for the Zhou family, reopening the middle door to welcome newcomers.

Except for the female relatives, the males are cleaning the ancestral hall.

The head of the Zhou family turned around and saw the young couple carrying a basket. He said with a smile, The auspicious time has not yet come. When your father comes over, he will go to the family tree. Just wait a little longer, and they will be back soon.

Zhou Jiao nodded with a smile, and said gratefully: Grandpa, please trouble our clansmen for being tired, and I have to trouble you today.

Patriarch Zhou shook his head again and again and said: It's okay, we are all from the same family. My child, it is our Zhou family who did not value you and made you suffer and wronged. Good boy, don't forget that you said that you are from the Zhou family. You must remember Our Zhou family has the same roots. If you have anything to do, you need to ask us old guys to support you. In the future, don’t support everything by yourself. Now your father is back, and your family is reunited. All the ancestors are watching , I will take good care of your family.

Zhou Jiao nodded seriously when she heard the words, and said, Grandpa, I will always remember that I am from the Zhou family. No matter where I go, I will always remember my roots and my home.

Okay, good boy. With your father and you in the Zhou family, your main house is still doing well. Do you have time to discuss with your father to see if your main house's tomb should be moved to the ancestral land?

Grandpa, I think it's better to forget it. They are all resting below, let's not disturb them. As long as we juniors know where our ancestors are, we can remember to pay respects during the New Year and holidays.

Zhou Jiao understood the patriarch's thoughts, but she didn't plan to discuss with her father about moving the cemetery.

The surviving member of the main family is her father. He can also personally visit the grave in the capital. Besides, Zhoujia Village is not their real ancestral land.

Their direct lineage has been in the capital since ancient times, and the older generation was also from the south. It is said that the Zhou family village formed its own line because her great-grandfather brother was an official and stayed outside the customs.

If we really want to go back, the main house has never had any ancestors go to Zhoujia Village to enter the grave. On the contrary, Mr. Zhou's side family, logically, the family should have gone back to Zhou's Village after Grandpa Zeng's death and separation of the family.

Nowadays, people with the Zhou surname in Zhoujia Village are only closer in blood than the southern people, and they belong to the same clan. If we get to the bottom of it, it's not that the big family didn't commit murder, and maybe it doesn't matter which generation the main house or the side house is a deadly enemy.

From Zhou Jiao's point of view, the Zhou family's genealogy is messy enough, and their main house should also have their own family tree.

I don't know how her grandma Gu Mingzhu found the old patriarch of Zhoujia Village? How does his grandfather Zhou Jinyu, a talented man, count as one of his clansmen?

After experiencing the pressure from the Gu family, can you still trust the Zhou family? Just relying on the relationship between cousins ​​and dare to entrust your son? No wonder her aunt Liu Xizhi couldn't find her father no matter what.

Who would have thought that the Zhou family who had lived in the capital for generations would have their ancestral land in the northeast?

Patriarch Zhou also understood that it was absolutely impossible for their principal house to move the tomb over. It's just that he always had a fluke mentality, and he hoped that Zhou Jiao, a daughter, could persuade her father.

This time, the main house, Zhou Xiaozheng, is flourishing. If the ancestral tomb of the main house is moved to Zhoujia Village in the future, they will be in the same vein as the side house of the Zhou family. In this way, Zhou Xiaozheng will definitely promote his clansmen. When the Zhou family members encounter problems, they can ask him for help. But everything was ruined by the idiot Zhou Jiaren. A good road to the sky was destroyed by that family.

Patriarch Zhou estimated that the old patriarch was interested in this. It is hoped that the main house and the partial house will be united, so that he will take the risk to take in the child.

Well, what you said makes sense. From then on, you remember to come to pay respects on New Year's Day. I'll go inside to see how the preparations are going. Remember to call me when your dad comes over. Patriarch Zhou looked at her, and let her know if she mentioned it again. People were disgusted and said with a smile.

He went back inside, smiled wryly and shook his head at the two clan elders. Not to mention impressing Zhou Xiaozheng, even Zhou Yatou flatly refused. It's a no-brainer!
