The train arrived in Beijing on time.
Because they slept in the bed, they arrived safely without suffering any hardship.
This was Gu Qinghuan's first time back to Beijing, but he didn't feel anything.
Zhong Zijun and the other two looked at the bustling station with people coming and going, feeling mixed emotions.
After seven years away, I come back here again. Everything has changed and people have changed. Tears flow before I can speak.
Zhong Luoqing was waiting at the station early.
Yun Run and his wife came in person. They were both busy people, but they took time out to come and wait, showing their full sincerity to their in-laws, daughter-in-law and their entourage.
What was rare was that He Qiang knew they were coming back today, so he put down his work and came over to wait with them.
The group had an exciting meeting at the train station. This was not a place for conversation, so they got on separate trains.
Zhong Luoqing borrowed Xiao Zhuo's car to come here, and the Yun couple drove the car.
He Qiang was a little embarrassed because of the rickshaw sandwiched in the middle.
Gu Qinghuan took the two children directly into his rickshaw.
"Please give us a ride. It's quite heavy."
"Sister, what are you talking about? I couldn't ask for more." He Qiang had a bright smile on his face.
Ji Linhai went to Yunzhou and stopped the car driven by Yun Run and his wife.
Zhong Zijun and Zhong Weiqian and his wife stole the car driven by Zhong Luoqi.
When you meet someone after three days, you should look at him with new eyes.
Zhong Luoqing now looks like a strong woman, with a warm smile on her face, and she speaks and acts neatly and efficiently. She is completely different from the cautious and pitiful woman she was two years ago.
She even found time to learn how to drive, something she had never dared to try before. It seems that people grow up rapidly after experiencing ups and downs.
That's good.
Their destination is the most luxurious hotel in Beijing.
Yunrun and his wife booked a table here to welcome their in-laws.
It was just time for dinner, so my family had no choice but to accept.
Although He Qiang's rickshaw was not as fast as a car, it was still fast enough to drive around the city. In the end, He Qiang arrived first.
After sending the person away, He Qiang wanted to escape but was caught by Gu Qinghuan.
"Why are you running away? Stay and have dinner together." Gu Qinghuan never treated her own people unfairly. He Qiang was very happy. After waiting for them at the train station for so long, she would not just throw them away after using them.
"Sister, let's not eat. This is your family dinner. It's not appropriate for an outsider like me to come in between." He Qiang begged.
"What outsider? You call me sister, and we're family." Gu Qinghuan insisted on keeping him.
He parked the car and went in together.
Gu Lanting and Ming Ruxue had already received the notice and were waiting in the private room.
When they saw Gu Qinghuan, they were both very excited.
"Sister, you're back."
"Sister Qinghuan, I miss you so much."
"You have both grown taller." Gu Qinghuan looked at the two girls with envy. They had both grown taller, and she had suddenly become the shortest one in the family.
You Ran, Bao Bao, and Bei Bei reunited after a long separation. They chattered and had endless things to say.
The box soon became lively.
Because this meal was hastily prepared and was just a welcome and clean-up party, neither family member said anything and focused on eating. They also chatted a few words about the rehabilitation issue.
Yun Run and his wife considered waiting for Zhong Ziyan to come back, and then invite everyone in the Zhong family to get together to discuss the matter of their son and daughter-in-law.
Yes, they knew that Gu Qinghuan married Yun Jizhou for a hundred yuan of medical expenses at first, and the two of them had no other options but got together in such a muddle.
I'm really heartbroken.
It's not easy for two little guys.
Although Yun Runtong usually advocates keeping a low profile, now that his only son has been found, he wants to be high-profile for him once.
The first thing was to inform relatives and friends that the Yun family’s biological son had been found.
The first thing is the marriage of the two children.
The two things do not conflict, so just do them together. Not only do they get done, but they also get done in a glorious way, so that everyone knows that it is a good idea.
As mothers, they prepared a wedding room and dowry for their son to marry a wife. When the time comes, they must solemnly make a betrothal request to the Zhong family.
Let's put it aside for now.
After dinner, they chatted briefly and then prepared to go back home to find their own mothers.
The Zhong family's original house was returned, but the situation inside was complicated and it was temporarily uninhabitable. Fortunately, there was still a small Western-style building that could accommodate the whole family.
Ji Linhai wanted Zhong Zijun to live in his house, but he just thought about it in his heart.
The Zhong family is a family of scholars who attach great importance to etiquette. Before Zhong Zijun had a formal status, he had already been envious of her.
Speaking of status, he has to speed up the process. Now everything is ready, and he just needs the right time to marry the beautiful woman.
He and Zhong Zijun are not young anymore. They have been talking for so long and have a full understanding of each other. Mother Zhong will not refuse, right?
Yun Xiaozhou wanted to stay and have a good kiss with his wife. This time when he went back, he didn't have the chance to have a good kiss with her.
Unfortunately, he had to go to early class the next day, so he left with regret.
Coming back to the small western-style building I hadn't seen for a long time, everything seemed so familiar.
Wang Xiaowei was very diligent and kept both houses spotless. She had a good sense of propriety and would not cause any annoyance, which made Gu Qinghuan quite satisfied.
Zhong Zijun and Gu Qinghuan live in one room, and the two children have their own rooms.
As for Mr. and Mrs. Zhong Weiqian, they slept in the guest room temporarily.
After the family settled down and washed and packed up, they hurried to sleep. The journey was very tiring. They had just had to force themselves to attend the dinner, and now everyone was sleepy and tired.
I slept until noon.
Ji Linhai accompanied Zhong Zijun to collect the compensation. Over the years, the three of them have received more than 10,000 yuan in total.
Zhong Zijun took the money, but he was not as happy as usual when he made money. He felt heavy in his heart.
No one would be happy after seven years of suffering to get this money.
The things that were looted from the Zhong family have not been returned yet. Many precious things were completely destroyed in that catastrophe.
What was returned to them were the former houses and properties. The small house with two entrances where the Zhong elders lived before had become a residential building, and several people were living in it, and they had not moved out yet.
Zhong Ziyan owns two houses, one is a traditional Chinese courtyard house and the other is a new western-style building.
The house and shop that Zhong Zijun had brought as a dowry were also returned to her.
Next, she and Gu Qinghuan began to discuss the handling of these assets.
Zhong Zijun doesn't plan to stay in the house where they used to live. Although there are many good memories of their children there, there are also many memories of Gu Yunchuan. She plans to sell the house and start over.
As for the other shops, Gu Qinghuan suggested that she not move them and keep them for the rent collection.
If you have the chance to make more money, you can buy some shops or even houses. In short, you won't lose money.
The Zhong family was rehabilitated, and the relatives who had avoided them before came rushing over.
Zhong Weiqian came forward and drove them all away.
In fact, he knew that it was normal for the family to take care of themselves in that situation. After all, human nature is selfish.
He didn't blame them, but that didn't mean he could pretend nothing had happened and continue to interact with them as before.
After going through so many things, he now lives a more open-minded life, not bound by human relationships.
In a word, if you are good to me, I will be good to you.
Zhong Weiqian will not treat those who have helped him openly or secretly with indifference.
Zhang Zheng, who comes to the rescue like a timely helper, is a frequent guest of the Zhong family.
Zhong Luoqing received a telegram from Northwest China.
My father will arrive in Beijing in two days.
The whole family was very excited, finally the family was reunited.
Zhong Zijun took Wang Xiaowei, Gu Qinghuan, and Zhong Luoqing to the western-style building where Zhong Ziyan and his wife used to live and cleaned it thoroughly.
I bought new furniture and home furnishings according to the original style. Although the house has changed beyond recognition after seven years, after this renovation, I can still find the original appearance.
Zhong Luoqing looked at the familiar house, which had almost identical furnishings, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Zhong Zijun hopes that his brother and sister-in-law will feel the warmth of home as soon as they come back, and that everything will seem the same as before, as if this will make him feel better.
After all, she was not good at judging people and married Gu Yunchuan, a wolf from Zhongshan. She harmed her whole family and even her brother and sister-in-law.
Zhong Ziyan and Bai Jie finally returned home.
Returning to my home after a long absence, everything seemed the same as before, yet everything seemed to have changed.
After experiencing a catastrophe, at least the whole family returned safely.
The couple burst into tears and hugged their family.
These years, the two of them have gone far to the northwest, and their lives are harder than theirs. It seems that they have nothing in common with each other.
Zhong Ziyan's back was bent, and his white and clean face was unrecognizable.
Zhong Zijun couldn't hold back her attention when she saw Bai Jie's short hair that looked like it had been gnawed by a dog, her dark skin, and her skinny appearance.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!
I shouldn't have married Gu Yunchuan. If I hadn't married him, our family wouldn't have suffered this disaster." Zhong Zijun thought the situation would be bad, but she didn't expect it to be worse than she imagined.
Her once glorious sister-in-law has been tortured into such a state.
Zhong Zijun slapped himself in the face. He had never hated himself so much for not being able to recognize people clearly.
The bullet at the age of eighteen hits my future self, and people will eventually pay for their own youthful stupidity.
Bai Jie grabbed her sister-in-law's hand and comforted her gently as before: "People can't be right in every step. There is no need to look back and don't criticize yourself at that time.
This world is not perfect. No matter what choice you make, you will regret it. So respect your past choices."
Zhong Ziyan comforted his sister and said, "Zijun, I don't blame you. In a world of crows, swans are guilty.
Even if it wasn't Gu Yunchuan, it would have been someone else who did this. Given our family's situation at the time, we were doomed to this disaster.
Everything that rises must fall; it is the law of cause and effect.
Now it’s all right, everything is over.”
The three people, who were over a hundred years old in total, hugged each other tightly, tears streaming down their cheeks.
Gu Qinghuan couldn't help crying.
In their whole life, none of their family had a happy ending. In this life, they finally had a happy ending. Although the process was tortuous, it was the best thing for the family to say goodbye.
Zhong Ziyan knelt down in front of Zhong Weiqian and his wife and said, "I am an unfilial son. I have not taken care of you all these years, and I often ask you for help. This is really wrong."
Cheng Shuying hurried to pull her son.
"My child, it has been very difficult for you these years.
We in the Northeast can at least make a living if we work hard, and we know what the situation is like in the Northwest.
I'm glad you came back safely, and we can live happily as a family in the future."
Zhong Weiqian wiped away a tear and said, "My son has worked hard."
