The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 345 Decades of Waiting
Although it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, the weather was still hot. Li Jianhui and others put on their own Hongyu brand sports and leisure shoes that had been prepared, and accompanied Chen Zhiyong on the way home.

This time was a great test for Chen Zhiyong, Li Jianhui and Chen Zongwu. Not only did they have to walk nearly five kilometers, but they also carried more than [-] kilograms of gifts.

Although Chen Xinyi, Wang Qionghua, and Chen Zongwu's wife Qin Xiumin don't have to carry heavy loads, they also have Chen Honghui, who is less than three years old, to take care of them, which is also not easy.

Fortunately, with the help of the commune officers, Li Jianhui and others finally arrived at Chen Zhiyong's parents' home at seven o'clock.

I don't know if it's because Chen Zongwu gave a lot of funds when he came back last time. The house has been renovated. Although it is still a tile house with stone and wood structure, it looks quite good.

It should have been known for a long time that they would come back, not only Chen Zhiyong's parents were at home, but Chen Zhiyong's brother and sister were also here.

Looking at his elderly parents from a distance, Chen Zhiyong could no longer control his decades-long feelings, walked quickly to the two elders, and shouted loudly: "Dad, Mom, I'm back, the Japanese cabinet has been driven away." , I returned safely."

Looking at their son who was over fifty, the two elders were also moved to tears. They still keep in mind the words of their young son leaving home, and they will definitely come back safely after driving away the Japanese cabinet.

After the surrender of the Japanese cabinet, they looked forward to their son's return, but one month passed, two months passed, and three months passed. Except for a letter, they did not wait for their son's return.

One year, two years, three years, except for a letter every three months to let them know that their son is still alive, they don't even know when their son will be able to return home.

Southwest was liberated, but the son still didn't come back, and there were no letters after that. They hoped and hoped, hoping that their son would return to their side tomorrow. As the days passed, the two elders gradually despaired.

It's been decades, they thought they would never hear any news about Chen Zhiyong even after they were buried.

Maybe it was God’s pity, but one day, the commune cadres brought them the news that they had been looking forward to for decades, that their son who left home for the country was still alive, and not only got married, but also had children. The grandson has arrived at the commune and is about to visit him.

After receiving the news, they have been waiting at home. At this time, the past in the field is no longer important to them.

The moment they saw Chen Zongwu, the two elders concluded that the child was their grandson, and they saw the shadow of Chen Zhiyong from Chen Zongwu.

From the mouth of the grandson, they also learned about the past of the eldest son in the past few years, and they were happy that Chen Zhiyong could make a career.

I also understand that my son can't come back to see me for the time being. Compared with my longing for my son, my son's safety is the most important thing.

It’s just that deep down in their hearts they have always wanted to take another look at the son who left home with young children. When Li Xiuli, Chen Zhijun, Chen Xueping and others went to Xiangjiang last year, they especially hated their old and frail bodies. body, so that they will not be afraid of the bumpy journey, and go to the distant Xiangjiang to see their sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Unexpectedly, only one year later, just this morning, the youngest son and daughter came and told themselves that the person they had been caring about would be coming back today.

At that time, they all wondered if they had hallucinations, and their son who they had been looking forward to for decades was coming back.

After being confirmed again, the second elder's heart has not calmed down, since noon but now, they don't remember how many times they asked why they haven't arrived yet.

Seeing that it was dusk, they finally looked forward to Chen Zhiyong's return. At this time, the tears of the elders could no longer contain them. Decades, after waiting for decades, and looking forward to decades, they finally came back.

It is difficult for Li Jianhui and others who have not been parted for decades to imagine this relationship, and it is not easy to come forward to comfort them at this time.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Chen Zhiyong and the elders calmed down.

"Father, Mom, this is your daughter-in-law Wang Qionghua, whose ancestral home is in Guangdong Province. She can't speak Mandarin, nor can she speak our Sichuan dialect."

Chen's mother smiled and said: "It's okay, we can understand, Qionghua will follow you and help you have children, you can't lose her."

……

"Dad, Mom, I won't introduce this kid. You saw him last time. Next to him is his wife, your granddaughter-in-law Qin Xiumin, and holding their son, your great-grandson Chen Honghui."

……

"This is your granddaughter Chen Xinyi, next to her is her husband and your grandson-in-law Li Jianhui, whose father is Li Minglin from Shiqiao Village next door."

After that, Chen Zhijun also introduced his family members to Chen Zhiyong, Li Jianhui and others. In the era without family planning, each family had a large population. Chen Zhijun had five children. The eldest, second, and fourth children had already married. There are as many as six, and only the sixth child has not yet married.

With the addition of Chen Zhiyong's uncles and cousins, the dam was quite crowded, and Chen Xinyi and Qin Xiumin also brought out the melons and fruits they had brought back.

Even though Li Jianhui is number one in Xiangjiang, he has a lot of titles. When he comes here, he should be called grandpa and grandma.

This is also a kind of civilization inheritance of Chinese culture. The reason why Chinese culture has never been cut off is based on our identification with ancestral culture and blood.

Fortunately, those uncles and cousins ​​also knew that Chen Zhiyong had just returned, so they didn't bother him too much, and they left after chatting for nearly an hour.

It's not that Chen Zhiyong didn't think about inviting everyone to dinner, but it's just that he came back late today, and he didn't have any preparations, so he had no choice but to give up.

But this time he will definitely be invited when he comes back. He plans to make arrangements tomorrow and invite these people to have a good drink or two the day after tomorrow.

Chen Xinyi also sighed: "For the first time, I feel that my seniority is too low. Here, there are elders everywhere."

"There is really no way here. Whoever calls you dad and grandpa belong to the long house. You will not be able to go to Shiqiao Village tomorrow. As long as you are not afraid of being called old, it is fine. Since ancient times, the elders have been born in the house, and there are many people there. People will call you aunt or even grandma."

Hearing Li Jianhui mention it, Chen Xinyi remembered that there were two guys who were about their age called her aunt last year.

This is still the child of Li Jianhui's cousin. Grandpa Li Jianhui also happens to be a yaofang. The descendants of his grandparents have passed down to which generation. It is not surprising that there are people who are about the same age as them called grandma.

Chen Xinyi didn't care if she would be concurrently aged. She was happy that she was with Li Jianhui when she returned to Shiqiao Village.

Although many traditional customs have been changed now, and there are no genealogies or ancestral halls in many areas, the character generation still exists and some customs are still being passed on.

Unlike the era of Li Jianhui's previous life, the character generation gradually disappeared, and the names were chosen according to preferences, and the clan relationship became weaker and weaker.
