"Master Kang? Is it Master Kang?"
Not long after they went out, the two brothers met an old man from the village.
The old man's surname is Niu. He is almost seventy years old and is the oldest person in the village. His family is also the tenant with the most land from the Cheng family.
Cheng Kang didn't recognize who it was at first.
"This is Uncle Niu, who used to work in our family."
Cheng Shundao.
"Oh! It's Uncle Niu! You must be seventy this year!"
Cheng Kang suddenly remembered it after Cheng Shun reminded him.
"Oh, it's really Master Kang! It's been more than 30 years, where have you been?"
Niu Lao said excitedly.
"Uncle Niu, I had some problems these years. Now that everything is fine, I'll be back soon. Uncle Niu, how have you been these years?"
Cheng Kang said a little embarrassedly.
"Okay, okay, I'm doing fine. It's just that Master Shun has suffered a lot these past few years. Master Kang, you've been gone for so many years. Back then, Master Shun was still..."
"Uncle Niu, I'm going to take my brother to our parents' graves. Do you want to come with us?"
Old Niu was about to tell Cheng Kang how Cheng Shun had survived, but was interrupted by Cheng Shun.
"Okay, it's time to go see the Master and the Madam. Master Kang, you haven't been back for so many years, the Master and the Madam must be missing you. I won't go with you, I'll go tell them that Master Kang is back!"
Tears welled up in Old Niu's eyes.
He is the same age as Cheng Shun's parents and has been working in Cheng Shun's family since he was a child. He is not a servant, but just helps the Cheng family with things.
Later, after he grew up and got married, he rented land from the Cheng family to farm. Later, Cheng Kang passed away. Cheng Shun knew nothing at the time, and Old Niu helped Cheng Shun a lot.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
Mr. Niu walked away muttering these words excitedly.
When the two brothers met villagers again later, most of them did not recognize Cheng Kang. Only those who were about the same age as Cheng Shun recognized him, but there were not many of them.
Along the way, Cheng Kang tried to find an opportunity to talk to Cheng Shun, but Cheng Shun ignored him.
Soon, they arrived at their parents' grave.
When the two elders passed away, the Cheng family still had some wealth, so their cemetery was large and well-built.
But, more than 30 years have passed, and it is indeed a bit old.
"Dad, Mom, my unfilial son is back!"
Cheng Kang came to the cemetery and knelt down directly in front of the grave.
Cheng Shun asked his two followers to put down the offerings and told them to go away.
Cheng Kang knelt down and chattered about his experiences over the years, while Cheng Shun placed offerings, lit incense and candles, and of course, listened attentively to his elder brother's experiences over the years.
Although Jiang and Cheng Yue told him some things this morning, it was not as detailed as what the person himself said.
Cheng Shun also felt very uncomfortable. If it weren't for the deception by Gu's father and daughter, Cheng Kang might not have said that it took more than 30 years to remember it.
If the Gu father and daughter had really helped Cheng Kang find his family, the two brothers would not have been separated for more than 30 years.
Cheng Shun even wondered if the Gu father and daughter had actually found Xinghua Village in the first place, but at that time they saw that he was not living a happy life, looked down on their family, and did not want him as a poor relative, so they did this on purpose.
This is really possible. According to Cheng Kang's account, he had a really hard time in Xinghua Village during the time he followed Gu's father and daughter to Dingzhou.
The eldest brother had not returned for two years, and he had not been working. If he had not been more ruthless later, he might not have been able to keep the last few dozen acres of land, or even marry a wife.
