Zhao Wei's family are all peasants.
If this statement had no indirect meaning, Zhao Wei would rather perform the act of frying an egg in the palm of his hand.
"Auntie, there's nothing wrong with being a peasant. I really like doing this. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!"
He found a bench and sat down with a forced smile.
Yunxiu came in to serve tea and heard this sentence. Her face darkened immediately.
When I handed the water to the girl, my hand slipped on purpose, and the boiling water in the cup splashed out.
No one was burned, it just scared him a little.
She lazily asked the other person if he was burned.
As a result, the girl immediately rolled her eyes at her and spoke with disgust.
"Country girls have no rules and are clumsy in doing things. Really..."
This was not said loudly, and the people around could only hear a murmur.
Only Yunxiu and Zhao Wei were closer and could hear it clearly.
Zhao Wei pursed his lips and silently gave this girl a cross in his heart.
He would put five crosses, and when the day he got all the crosses was the day he would fight back.
Good people are often bullied.
Even among relatives, forty years of estrangement have made the blood relationship as cold as water.
"Okay, shut up and listen to what I, the old man, have to say!"
At the old man's command, everyone present became silent and gave the stage to him.
"This visit is naturally about recognizing our ancestors and returning to our roots."
"Zhao Yong is my son, Zhao Xianling, who has been lost for forty years. This is a foregone conclusion and no one can interfere."
"I plan to hold a grand recognition ceremony in the county town in three days. Your whole family must come then."
"As compensation, I will apply for a house in the family compound so that my children and grandchildren can move in and live closer to us old couple in the future."
As soon as these words came out, the aunt's face suddenly turned ugly.
She had also begged the old man to allow her family to move into the compound.
As a result, it was directly rejected at that time.
They also said that they did not comply with policy procedures and were not qualified to live here.
The houses in the family compound are limited. At this time, Zhao Yong doesn't have to do anything. He just needs to call "Dad" and he will be qualified to live in.
It's so unfair, how can everyone be happy?
Before she could protest, Zhao Wei spoke up for the honest and dull Zhao Yong.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, we may not be able to live in the house in the family compound. You should give it to someone in need. Please forgive me!"
As soon as he said this, all the relatives present stared at him with puzzled eyes.
He could only continue to explain helplessly.
"I just said that we are peasants who don't know how to do anything except farming. We would feel uncomfortable if we went there."
"Besides, the family compound is full of important people, and there are so many rules. You never know when you might accidentally offend someone without even realizing it."
"Although this village is backward, every brick and tile here was moved by hand. It is really hard to leave my hometown. Please forgive me."
…
When my aunt and her husband heard this, the tension in their hearts relaxed a little, but they still struck while the iron was hot and flirted with the old couple.
"Dad, Mom, I understand that you want to compensate your son and grandson, but they have already settled down here, so you can't force them to do anything."
It would be best to give the child to them. Once they move in, their value will invisibly rise to a higher level, and they may even be able to move up a step in the unit.
The two old men looked at Zhao Yong with some disappointment.
"Son, do you think so too?"
"Well, Dad, Mom, I will listen to my son and wait for you in this country from now on. If you don't mind, I welcome you to stay for a long time. I can clean up a room for you."
"But if you are not used to living here, just go back to your family compound. I will come to visit you during the holidays."
Apart from this, he no longer needs anyone's arrangement for anything else. He has his own life steps.
After hearing the news there, Yunxiu hurried back to the kitchen and started gossiping with Wang Caigu.
"Mom, our dad is really going to become a powerful man, as long as he can move into that family compound. Tsk tsk tsk ..."
Wang Caigu was stunned for a moment before she said, "What's so great about this? Your father doesn't care. We have a son as capable as Wei'er, and a daughter-in-law as filial as you. Why would we go to a place like that and suffer such humiliation? Really..."
Regardless of what they said, they all ignored the urgent determination of the two old people, and they made the decision right then and there that the father and son must move their entire family to the staff compound.
Moreover, they were only given three days, and if they were unwilling to move, there were ways to make them unable to stay in the village.
This doesn't feel like recognizing a relative, but rather like recognizing an enemy.
The Zhao family members all stood there in a daze, watching the old man exert all his strength with a fierce determination to win.
"I cannot bear to see my son, whom I waited so hard to get back, living such a miserable life."
"Son, you said you don't want to change your name, so just keep calling you Zhao Yong. We've all agreed to your request. Just give in to us two old folks this time. We're both old now, how many more years can we still be with you?"
"I asked you to move back because I wanted to see you more and enjoy the happiness of family. Is it too much for us to do this?"
…
In Zhao Wei's opinion, this kind of thing that disregards other people's wishes is excessive.
This is moral kidnapping.
Zhao Yong's face turned red, and he finally compromised and said, "I can move back, but my son and family shouldn't be forced to do that, right?"
The old couple then smiled and said, "Okay, okay, as long as you are willing to move back, we can talk about everything."
"Come on, come on, today is worse than tomorrow. Follow us back to Qinghe now."
Zhao Yong said with some refusal: "Don't be so anxious, I'll at least pack my luggage..."
"Come on, what are you going to do with those tattered luggage? You'll be with your parents in the future, so you won't have to worry about not having things to use."
"When we get to the city, I'll take you to the Supply and Marketing Building. It's brand new from the inside out. I guarantee you'll like it. Hahaha..."
The dictatorial, overbearing and ruthless behavior of these two old men made Zhao Yong feel suffocated. He quickly turned his gaze to Zhao Wei and prayed silently.
Zhao Wei didn't want to see his old father in trouble, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Grandpa, grandma, my father has suffered a lot over the years and has always needed to take medicine to regulate his body. After he goes to the family compound, it will be very troublesome for him to take medicine. Can you bear to let him suffer like this?"
