There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Chapter 242 Unraveling the Mystery

It was already pitch black outside, and besides their few cars, there were two parked outside the yard. It seemed that there was no shortage of well-off people in any age. The village not far away has no lights. As the car is driving, the closer the county is, the more pedestrians on the street, and the lights are shining from every house.

Zhou Xiao was driving the car, his eyes fixed on Zhou Jiao rubbing her forehead, and she let out a muffled laugh. Zhou Jiao's temperament followed him, so he took the child away with an excuse.

The car stopped at the door of the house, Zhou Xiaozheng and his daughter returned to the main room, let out a sigh of relief by coincidence, looked at each other and smiled.

After Zhou Jiao settled her son, she took out a wicker box from the closet and put it on the table. She saw her father come in with tools in his hands. She clenched her hands nervously, held her breath and watched quietly.

After Zhou Xiaozheng carefully emptied the box, he reached out and searched the four corners of the inner box, and after a while, he picked up a wet handkerchief and wiped the four sides lightly, after a while, the seams appeared. He cut off the line with a small dagger, picked up Uchimura, and finally fell out of the seam of the entire box. After putting down the tool, gently wipe the glue with hot water until there is no trace.

After waiting for a while, after the watermark disappeared, Zhou Xiaozheng said softly: The answer to the mystery is finally revealed. Jiaojiao, come and help Dad hold the box.

Zhou Jiao supported the box with both hands, held her breath, and watched him disassemble the box with admiration. When the whole bottom was removed, she saw that the whole bottom was covered with several layers of oilcloth.

Zhou Xiaozheng's father and daughter were stunned for a moment, imagining is one thing, but seeing the black oilcloth, they were shocked to find the secret decades ago when it was revealed.

Zhou Xiaozheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened his reddish eyes, picked up the dagger, waited until his hands stopped trembling, and carefully cut off the sticking part of the oilcloth.

Standing in front of him, Zhou Jiao could hear the beating of his heart, watching him worryingly as he took off the entire thick black tarpaulin.

Don't worry, Dad is fine. Your grandma should put it all here, just in case, and then you have to take off the lid. You press the lid first, and I'll restore the bottom.

Zhou Jiao nodded, and after more than an hour, watching her father restore the box without any trace of dismantling it, the father and daughter were greatly relieved.

Zhou Jiao went back to the closet and took out the black lockbox and put it on the table. Zhou Xiaozheng tossed about again, and after a while, he realized that there would be traces left on the craftsmanship of the box, so he shook his head at her.

The father and daughter cleaned up the table, took off the double tarpaulin, and finally saw the real face of Mount Lu, with two paper bags wrapped in newspaper. Zhou Xiaozheng opened the bag and took out a letter from it. Pushing the rest to Zhou Jiao, he pulled out the letter himself. After reading it, he couldn't help getting up and walking to the study.

Zhou Jiao looked at his back worriedly, and picked up the letter paper, which was densely packed with small characters.

Zhenger:

When you read this letter, your mother has already gathered with your father and is watching you from afar in the sky, so don't be sad. For you, my only son, my mother is deeply sorry for not being able to take care of you as an adult and watch you have children.

If time could be turned back,...

After you read this letter, mother doesn't know whether our Zheng'er is a soft-spoken boy or a gentle gentleman. The last family background of the Gu family must not be revealed. Remember not to expose your wealth, but also learn to forbear. Your father and I only hope that you will live a safe life and have no worries about food and clothing...

After reading it, Zhou Jiao burst into tears, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, wiped it, carefully folded it and put it back in the envelope. He poured out the contents of the file bag, picked up the three photos inside, and looked at the young grandparents, who could no longer control themselves and fell on the table and wept.

Zhou Xiaozheng controlled his emotions well and went back to the room.

He patted his daughter's back, reached out to take the photo from her hand, looked at the mother in the photo smiling, raised his head, took a deep breath, suppressed tears, and comforted her with a smile.

Look, you really look like your grandma. Don't cry, your grandma tells us to face everything with a smile. Jiaojiao, do you think Dad looks like your grandma? Look at your grandpa's eyes and eyebrows again.

Zhou Jiao looked up at the group photo of her grandparents with red eyes, Aunt and grandma didn't lie to us, grandpa and grandma are really a perfect match as rumored. Dad, you have combined their advantages. I am most like grandma. This should be what they would take when they were abroad. ?”

Looking at the background, it's a foreign country. At that time, there was no such good technology in China. These three photos should be taken by them when they were studying abroad. You really look like your grandma. If you don't look carefully, you think it's you. No wonder your aunt grandma saw you losing her composure. .”

The father and daughter chatted for a while, Zhou Xiaozheng saw that his daughter was in a better mood, and put the three photos in the envelope.

He began to look through the remaining documents and deposit slips, sighed and said, At that time, your grandparents should have gone abroad. With these things, they will make a comeback sooner or later, why bother to fight alone.

You put it all away. Don't tell anyone but Dad. At present, we have no way to go abroad - foreign deposit certificates and safes can only be kept. Except for the things hidden in the Gu family's old house in China, don't touch anything else. Everything else is gone, safety first. This time when dad goes back, someone must be watching you secretly.

Zhou Jiao looked at his serious face, knowing that the matter was important, she nodded seriously.

After Zhou Xiaozheng repeatedly ordered, seeing her expression, he smiled with satisfaction and said, Okay, don't be too nervous. Dad has money to let you live a good life. If you don't have money, you will really use it. Jiaojiao, Dad's Jiaojiao Jiao should be a little princess.

Feeling his pampering, Zhou Jiao laughed straight away.

Zhou Xiaozheng took out a small box from the lockbox, opened it and handed it to her, This jade pendant, seal and small key are related to foreign heritage, you wear it next to your body, don't give it to anyone.

Dad, you wear it directly around your neck and keep it yourself. I'm afraid I'll lose it.

Zhou Xiaozheng shook his head, You can't let me go. Firstly, soldiers can't wear them. I usually put amulets in my underwear pocket. Secondly, it's hard for your mother to explain. It's safest to let you go. Anyway, these will be yours from now on. .If your grandma is still alive, it will be left to you. You are the most like her. When you really have a brother in the future, you can look at him.

Zhou Jiao didn't tell the difference when she heard the words, and I'll talk about the future things later. She took the jade pendant and seal and put it on next to her body.

Watching him tidy up the things he didn't bring back, wrap them in oiled paper, take out a dagger to dig out the bricks in the corner of the wall and stuff them in, and it's back to normal again. She looked up and gave her dad a thumbs up.

Zhou Xiaozheng raised his eyebrows proudly, This is not enough, I will design it again tomorrow. You haven't seen your old man's ability. Our family's gold bars have been stored for decades, and no one can find them except your mother. There are two more Take the box back to Ming Road as it came from, there is no shortage of smart people in the world.

Zhou Jiao nodded proudly, her father is really good, even thought of these things. Looking at the empty wicker box, she patted her head, hurried to the closet, took out the prepared things and put them inside.

Zhou Xiaozheng watched with a smile as his daughter told him what he used and what he gave away. Looking at the brand new two jackets and insoles, I feel distressed and happy at the same time.

Zhou Xiaozheng saw that she had finished explaining, and joked, Dad's caring little padded jacket, your dad is going to suffer.

Zhou Jiao laughed loudly when she heard the words, she couldn't stand the noisy atmosphere, she felt sorry for her father.

Seeing that she was about to send him out, Zhou Xiao hurriedly stopped her, I'm going out by myself, it's very windy outside. From now on, you are at home alone, remember to close the door of the study, and don't come out if there is any movement outside.

After she finished speaking, she responded, went out of the main room and closed the living room door, looked at the street lights in the yard, and went to the kitchen to turn on the light after thinking about it.

After a while, Zhou Xiaozheng stood in the yard, looked at the bright lights, and walked out with confidence.
