Xu Shiyan has been with his father for so many years, and he still doesn't have this little tacit understanding?
As soon as he heard what his father said, he immediately stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll go take a look."
Su Anying stood up as soon as she heard this.
"Well, let me go with you. I parked the car too far outside just now."
So, the couple left Xu Shi's family together and walked all the way downhill to the mouth of the ditch.
When I came outside, I saw many people standing around my five cars, all looking at the cars curiously.
Xu Shiyan and his wife squeezed through the crowd and nodded towards everyone.
"Dear neighbors, we are from Shijiagou's old Xu family.
Well, please give way, everyone, and we will drive out."
There are so many people surrounding the car, how do you get out?
When everyone saw that the owner of the car was coming, they quickly got out of the way.
Xu Shiyan and Su Anying drove back along the original road and went straight to Huanren.
Qingshangou Township is not a big place, so there probably aren't many things you can buy. There's no need to waste time there. Let's go straight to the county town.
Xu Shiyan and his wife didn't mention it when they went to the county town to do shopping, they only talked about this.
Not long after Xu Shiyan and his wife left, several groups of people came to Xu Shiquan's house.
Jiang Fuhai's father, Jiang Chunzhu, and several old friends Xu Chenghou had gotten along with before.
Zhao Tieniu and Li Dashuan, I don’t know if they are nicknames or names.
Anyway, when these old men got together, no matter what, they were all so excited that they almost hugged each other and cried.
"I just heard from our eldest son that Master Xu is back.
I was still wondering, where did such Master Xu come from? Only after saying this did I know that it was my Uncle Xu who was back."
Jiang Chunzhu sat down next to Xu Chenghou and said with great emotion.
"How many years did you say you were away? It seems like you only came back every six or so years, right? You haven't come back since then.
If you don’t come back, we old guys won’t be able to walk anymore.”
"Isn't that what happened?
I was staying at home and heard from my grandson that there were several cars parked at Mizoguchi and I didn’t know where the cadres were coming from.
I was thinking about going out to take a look when I happened to meet Chun Zhu. He said that Uncle Xu was back.
I really didn’t expect that Uncle Xu and the whole family are back, it’s really lively.”
The person who spoke, Li Dachuan, also lived in Shijiagou, and his first family was here.
Li Dashuan and Xu Chenghou were neighbors, and they got along quite well at first.
So when Jiang Chunzhu said that Xu Chenghou was back, he quickly followed him.
"Oh, I've always wanted to come back, but there was no team in the past few years, and there was a lot of farm work in the fields, so it took a long time.
Besides, life was tight in those years, so it was really not easy to come back.
Anyway, now that I am older and no longer work, I am free and no one cares about me.
Don’t you just want to take the children back and have a look while I can still move?”
Xu Chenghou was very excited when he saw these former friends. He finally calmed down and sat there chatting with these people.
The room of Xu Shi's family was originally not large. With more than 20 members of Xu's family in the room, many more people came later, and it was too crowded.
When Zhou Guilan saw this, she left Mr. Xu Chenghou and others in the east room chatting with others.
She led her daughter-in-law and grandchildren out of the house and sat in the yard, chatting with Hu Chunhua and the first few neighbors.
"Auntie, how have you been over there in Fusong all these years? Your life must have been pretty good, right?
It seems that your mother's family is also in Fusong, right?
I haven't seen them come back in these years. How is our family doing? Is my aunt still there?"
The speaker was Jiang Fuhai's mother, Jiang Chunzhu's daughter-in-law.
The Zhou family used to live in Jiangjiapuzi. Zhou Guilan's mother's surname was Jiang, and she was from the same clan as Jiang Chunzhu's grandfather.
Therefore, Jiang Chunzhu's family is closely related to the Zhou family, so Zhou Anping must be called uncle, and Zhou Guilan must be called aunt.
But Jiang Chunzhu's family has a very good relationship with Xu Chenghou's family, and they knew each other before Zhou Guilan got married.
So after Zhou Guilan married into the Xu family, her title changed, and Jiang Chunzhu and his wife called her aunt.
"No more. She left in the summer of 1982." Zhou Guilan couldn't help but sigh when mentioning the old lady of the Zhou family.
When the old lady was still sane, she always wanted to come back for a visit, but later she went crazy and stopped talking about it.
At that time, the old lady passed away, and the Zhou Anping brothers were discussing whether they should send her bones back for burial.
There is also Zhou Huaimin's tomb here. There is no one in it, just a few clothes and so on. It can be regarded as a tomb.
Ordinarily, the old lady should be sent back and buried together.
But when I think about it, how can I go all the way back?
How much would it cost to send the coffin back? If the ashes were cremated and sent back, Zhou Anping and others would not be able to accept it.
The idea of the older generation is to be buried and buried. How can they be willing to be cremated?
So we finally decided not to come back, but to bury him in the camp.
In the future, it will be convenient to visit graves and add soil on the Qingming Festival, July 15th and so on.
"Oh, my aunt is not young anymore, so she feels sad.
So are my uncle and the others okay? There has been no movement in these years, and the letters are no longer accessible."
This uncle refers to the Zhou Anping brothers.
"By the way, there's something you might not know until you come back.
A few years ago, someone came back to our place specifically to inquire about Lao Zhou's family.
I asked about my aunt and uncles and where they were.
I heard what others said, it seems like those people are from the capital."
"You're from the capital? Are you asking about my mother and my brother? Our family doesn't have any relatives in the capital."
Zhou Guilan was stunned for a moment, a little confused as to what Chunzhu's wife meant by this.
Someone is asking about the whereabouts of the descendants of the Zhou family? They are people from the capital. What are they doing?
"I don't know what happened, but it happened many years ago, around the time of June 7, June 8, right?
Anyway, those years were in chaos, and everyone was afraid that someone was going to harm my aunt and them, so they said they didn’t know where they were.”
Chunzhu's wife thought about it carefully, but she couldn't remember what happened. After all, it had been so long, who could remember so much?
It's been so long, it's useless to think about it now.
Zhou Guilan didn't bother to ask about that, so she just chatted with Chunzhu's wife, Hu Chunhua and the others.
"Milk, can we go take a look around?"
Xu Jinfeng and others were bored staying in this small courtyard, and they couldn't understand what their grandparents were talking about.
It was boring just sitting there, so I wanted to go out for a walk.
"Go ahead, um, this mountain range upwards belongs to our family, you can play with it as you like.
It's a pity that there is nothing delicious at this time. The pears have not grown yet, and the hawthorns are not good either. They are all green.
The chestnuts haven't grown yet, and the peach orchard is not here.
Wait for tomorrow and let your uncle take you to the peach garden to pick peaches to eat. At this time, our peaches are in season."
When Hu Chunhua heard this, she smiled and pointed the direction to Xu Jinfeng and the others.
Most of the mountains here are owned by each family.
Xu Chenghou and the others moved away, and their share was given to Xu Shiquan's father, and now it's all under Xu Shiquan's name.
