Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

The whole family had a great time at the beach in Tianjin. When we returned on the afternoon of the third day, there were several large wooden barrels in our luggage, which were full of mussels, swimming crabs and the like.

When they returned home in the evening, they began to deliver the gifts door to door to their relatives and friends.

However, this job could only be done by Chang Zhengyang. He was capable and could do more work. He rode a tricycle around Yanjing City. After delivering the goods in the city, he had to go to Guojiazhuang in the end.

For dinner, I ate twenty 20-grain steamed buns under the loving care of my grandma, and then played boxing with my grandpa for a while. Then I went home under the cover of night.

When I got home, it was already eleven o'clock at night. I took a shower and went to bed because I had to report to the hospital the next day.

I wonder if those senior brothers and sisters miss him...

As September arrives, the last bit of summer heat begins to dissipate, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is already necessary to cover yourself with a blanket at night.

Guo Huiying and Liu Mei pushed their bicycles, talking and laughing as they walked towards the school gate.

When she walked out of the school gate, Guo Huiying subconsciously glanced across the road, and suddenly her body shook. She hesitated for a moment, then was surprised, and finally became a little frightened, so that her body began to tremble slightly.

"Teacher Guo, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Hearing Liu Mei's words, Guo Huiying forced herself to calm down, and said to Liu Mei with a pale face: "Sister Liu, you go back first. I have a little pain in my lower abdomen. It's okay. I'll go to Zhengyang's affiliated hospital to check it out."

Liu Mei glanced thoughtfully at the place where Guo Huiying had just looked, and said without doubt: "Okay, Teacher Guo, you should drive slowly on the road."

When Guo Huiying saw Liu Mei walking away, she took a deep breath, her eyes suddenly became determined, and she pushed the cart across the street.

She came to a tree across the road and looked at the middle-aged man who was stepping on a cigarette butt with a smile on his face.

"Little sister, I haven't seen you for ten years. You are still as beautiful as ever. You haven't aged at all."

"Really? I have wrinkles around my eyes. Maybe in two years, I will be raising grandchildren and become a grandmother."

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Yes, time is unforgiving. Even you are about to become a grandmother."

The two were silent for a moment, and finally Guo Huiying broke the silence.

"Second brother, why did you come back?"

This middle-aged man was Chang Zhengyang's second uncle who had retreated to Wandao. He looked amused and said, "Why? This is my hometown. Shouldn't I come back?"

Guo Huiying's face darkened when she heard this, and she stared coldly at her second brother who was the most capable and ambitious.

"This is no longer your hometown. You have been removed from the family tree. Did you come back to piss off your father and mother? And this whole family..."

A trace of pain flashed across the second uncle's eyes, and then it was replaced by a fierce look. He sneered and said, "It's just a matter of success or failure. If the principal hadn't been misled by the villain, maybe I would..."

Guo Huiying's face turned pale when she heard this, and she shouted angrily in a low voice: "Shut up, second brother. Considering the relationship between us in the past, I will just pretend that I didn't see you today. I don't care what you want to do when you come back. You, you go away. If you don't leave, I will call someone to arrest you."

The second uncle looked disappointed and said, "Little sister, you are so heartless! We haven't seen each other for ten years, but you didn't invite me to your house to see my nephew, but you called someone to arrest me. But my smart little sister, since I dare to appear in front of you openly, haven't you ever thought about the reason?"

Guo Huiying looked at him in surprise, and asked doubtfully, "You, what do you mean, you didn't sneak back?"

"Of course. I am a patriotic overseas Chinese now. Sister, when I went to Taiwan, I was ostracized and wronged. I was also dismissed from my position. I was disheartened and went to Southeast Asia. Now I have a plantation and two factories on Java Island. I donated 10,000 US dollars to the country. Look, this is the honorary certificate issued to me by the Yanjing Municipal Government."

The second uncle took out a folded certificate from his pocket and handed it to Guo Huiying. She took it suspiciously, opened it and looked at it, then said hesitantly, "Really?"

The second uncle looked innocent and said, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone! Little sister, you are the first one to know that I'm back. I haven't even seen my mother yet, but I came to see you first."

Guo Huiying was somewhat touched, but still a little worried, so she took him directly to the Gulou Police Station. After a commotion, the brothers and sisters hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Chang Zhengyang received a call in the hospital and learned that his second uncle had returned. He was stunned for a moment, then said hello to the hospital and hurried to Guojiazhuang.

When he arrived at his grandfather's house, all the Guo family members were there except for a few third-generation members who were serving in the army or working in other places. It was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.

"Brother Zhengyang is back..."

Several cousins ​​who were playing outside the yard saw Chang Zhengyang and started shouting at the top of their lungs. Soon everyone in the yard knew that Chang Zhengyang had arrived.

Chang Zhengyang parked his bicycle and immediately saw the figure standing next to his grandfather. Although he hadn't seen him for ten years, he still recognized his second uncle at a glance.

"Second uncle!"

"Zhengyang? Good boy, you are taller than my second uncle now. Back then you were only as tall as my chest. Yes, no, you have really grown into a big boy now!"

The second uncle hesitated for a moment, then showed a look of surprise, walked quickly to Chang Zhengyang, and patted his shoulder hard.

Chang Zhengyang chuckled and said, "Uncle, people always grow up. Well, after not seeing you for ten years, you haven't changed at all. You are still the handsome and vigorous man you used to be!"

The second uncle laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "Good boy, you have grown taller and become sweeter. Not bad, not bad. I heard from your mother that you have made great achievements now. Well done, work hard and be filial to your mother in the future."

Chang Zhengyang scratched his head shyly. Among his uncles, his second uncle was his favorite since he was a child.

Because his second uncle was the colonel commander of the Yanjing Military Police Command at that time, he often brought him delicious food and fun things.

"I will. By the way, where are Second Aunt, Brother Guangwen, Sister Yushu and the others?"

"Your second aunt is taking care of her grandson on Java Island, Guangwen is helping me run the factory, and Yushu's family has moved to the United States. I'm only going to stay here for ten days or half a month and then I'll be back. Guangwen is a rough guy, and if I leave for too long, something bad might happen at home."

At the end of his speech, the second uncle showed a self-deprecating smile, and Chang Zhengyang also laughed happily when he saw this.

After the uncle and nephew recalled some past events, the second uncle suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory!"

The second uncle quickly returned to the house, came out after a while with two boxes, and stuffed them into Chang Zhengyang's hands.

Chang Zhengyang opened it without knowing what was going on. Wow, it turned out to be a brand new Longines watch and a gold Parker pen.
