Lin Yue helped Zhu Zheng sit on a chair beside him, but he had countless questions to ask, but he choked up when he tried to speak.
When Zhu Zheng heard his question, he also looked sad and self-blaming. He lowered his head, his eyes were red, and he clenched his hands.
Lin Yue realized that he had said the wrong thing, but he didn't know how to make amends.
Lin Feng just sighed, "Uncle Zhu, don't be sad. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are unpredictable. I believe you have done your best!"
Zhu Zheng couldn't help himself, tears trickling down his cheeks. "I'm incompetent and can't protect them. The villagers who followed me have already dispersed."
Even our family couldn't be fully protected, and now we are just barely surviving, and we can only live one more day at a time."
Seeing how sad he was, no one asked any more questions.
Little Bell grabbed Zhu Zheng's hand sadly, "Grandpa Zhu, don't be sad, everything will be fine. Let's go find Uncle Zhu and the others first, otherwise they will be worried.
If there's anything, we can talk about it when we get back to the village. No matter what happened in the past, we'll support each other and everything will be fine.
Really, believe me, I am very accurate in what I say."
Lin Feng quickly replied, "Yes! Now that you're here, you're home. My dad must be very happy.
Brother, if this shop is no longer viable, let's just close it. Bishui Academy isn't closed yet anyway, so let's go home together.
We'll come back to pick up Xiaowen after the academy is closed."
"Okay, let's do this. Your sister-in-law and I still have to pack up. You take Uncle Zhu back first, and pick up Brother Zhu and the others outside the city!"
Lin Feng didn't wait any longer and immediately went to the backyard to pull out the carriage.
Seeing that they could now easily take out the carriage, Zhu Zheng knew that they were living a good life, and he felt very relieved.
Zhu Zheng didn't hesitate to sit down with Lin Feng.
However, Xiao Lingling still had to go to the county government office, so Lin Feng took her around the county government office, dropped her off, and prepared to go out of the city.
The father and daughter split up into two groups, otherwise one carriage would not be able to accommodate so many people.
It was a good coincidence that Xiao Lingling came back, and Xia Yan and the others had almost prepared everything.
But at this moment Wu Bokai had already gone to busy himself with his work, so only Xia Yan and her daughter were left in the yard.
The few of them didn't waste any time. When they saw Xiao Lingling arrive, they got on the carriage and headed for Shuanghe Village.
As a result, Xiao Lingling arrived home earlier than Lin Feng and the others.
Xiao Lingling helped Xia Yan slowly get off the carriage. Seeing that the yard was empty, she knew that her father and the others had not returned yet.
Little Bell rushed into the yard with evil intentions, "Grandpa, Grandma, something bad has happened!"
Now that the summer harvest is over and the village walls have been built, Lin Changshu and his colleagues have a rare chance to relax and are working on orders in the backyard.
As soon as I heard Xiao Lingling's cry, I felt sick all over.
They thought something had happened in the store and they all rushed out.
"What's wrong? What happened? Are you in danger?"
Fang rushed out quickly, checking the little bell up and down.
Seeing that she was fine, he was puzzled, "What happened? You are not injured? No, where is your father? Your father is not back?"
Xia Yan looked at Xiao Lingling's cunning look and laughed, "Girl, be careful not to make your mother angry or she'll beat you up. I can't stop her for you now."
Xiao Lingling stuck out her tongue guiltily. Fang Cui understood everything and was so angry that she wanted to slap her butt.
Fortunately, Zhao arrived quickly, "Ouch, ouch, stop hitting me, stop hitting me, be careful or your hand will hurt."
Fang glared at Xiao Lingling unhappily, and the little girl hid behind Zhao and bared her teeth at her.
This girl is becoming more and more unbearable, so naughty!
Zhao pinched her little ear and pulled her out with amusement, but fortunately she didn't use much strength.
Little Lingling didn't struggle, but stood up obediently, allowing Zhao to poke her forehead.
"Girl, no wonder your mother is angry. This is no joke. Don't scare people like this anymore. Do you understand?"
Little Bell knew she was in the wrong and nodded obediently, "I understand, Grandma. I won't dare to do that again! But I do have good news to tell you."
Seeing that she didn't want to lie, Zhao asked curiously, "Then tell me, what good news is it?"
Little Lingling tilted her head and saw Lin Changshu holding a chisel and preparing to go back to the backyard to work, so she hurriedly shouted.
"I saw Grandpa Zhu on the street today!"
With just one word, Lin Changshu was so shocked that he almost couldn't stand. He held the wall with one hand and turned to look at Xiao Lingling in disbelief.
"You, what did you say? Who did you see?"
Xiao Lingling quickly put away her joking expression and said seriously, "It's true, I really saw Grandpa Zhu.
I didn't come back with Dad because he had to go to the city gate to pick up Uncle Zhu and the others. It was probably hard to find them because there were so many people, so we were a little late.
But, we really found him! I guess he'll be back soon! "
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Feng's voice came from outside.
"Dad! Dad, come out quickly, look who's here! Dad——"
Little Bell listened to the familiar words and smiled secretly.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Changshu threw away the chisel in his hand and strode out the door.
Just as he reached the door, he happened to meet Lin Feng supporting Zhu Zheng in, and the two of them came face to face.
The two looked at each other for a long time, their eyes red, but no one spoke first.
After a while, Lin Changshu choked up and said, "Brother Zhu, you, why are you..."
How come I'm so old...
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.
Zhu Zheng knew what he wanted to say and chuckled, "When people get older, they just get old, it's normal!
But you, you haven't aged at all, how come you're still young? God is so unfair!"
After saying that, the two smiled at each other, took a few steps forward, and hugged each other.
Little Bell's eyes turned red without her realizing it.
She may not be able to appreciate it now, but she can understand it.
Two close friends who once thought they would never see each other again are finally able to meet each other. The emotion and excitement they feel are probably no less than a love that lasts through life and death.
Although Grandpa Zhu and my grandfather are not related by blood, they grew up together and have a friendship that has lasted for decades, which is no less than family affection!
Most of the Zhu family members at the door also had red eyes.
Zhao wiped the tears from her eyes and took a few steps forward. "Old man, hurry up, don't let the village chief and the others stand at the door. Let them come in and sit down first. If there's anything, let's come in and sit down and talk slowly!"
Lin Changshu suddenly came to his senses and quickly let go of Zhu Zheng, "Yes, yes, brother, sister-in-law, come in and sit down!"
Zhu Zheng patted his shoulder and said with a smile as he passed by Zhao, "No need to call me village chief, just call me Brother Zhu from now on!"
Zhao smiled and said, "Hey! This is better, it seems closer!"
