Chapter 519 I Don’t Blame You (First Update)
Zhong Kangle bit his neck fiercely, using a little force. When he heard his father hiss in pain, he quickly let go and met Zhong Changcun's teasing gaze.
He said angrily: “Have you found a new lover and forgotten about me, your son?
It's been four years and you haven't visited me or written to me!
He didn’t even reply to my letters!”
After seeing his biological father, the anxiety that had been lingering in his heart for nearly a month was completely swept away. His obedience and understanding were also stripped away, leaving only the child's sincerity.
Zhong Changcun was stunned for a moment, then he understood and explained with a slightly gloomy face: "I went to find you, but the address your mother gave me was fake.
Later I found your grandmother's house and learned that your mother had married you. The neighbors all said that you were living a good life.
Since the date on the letter of introduction had expired, I returned home.
I have never received any letter from you, and all the letters I sent to your grandmother's house were returned.
I, I was afraid that you would be wronged in your new home, so I never went to Shanghai again."
Although Zhong Kangle had lived in the Di family for a month, how could he easily make up for the loss of four years? He touched the child's thin and frail body, hugged him tightly, and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Lele, it's Dad's fault.
Dad should have persisted a little longer..."
In fact, he was also angry at that time, so he was eager to respond to the country's call and go into business, wanting to earn a fortune for his son.
However, he clearly had the cart before the horse.
"Dad, I don't blame you, but I don't want to go back to Shanghai. Can I live with you?" Zhong Kangle raised his face eagerly and looked at his biological father.
Zhong Changcun has not been working on the farm in the past few years. His skin has returned to its original wheat color, his body is stronger than before, and the fine lines on his face have been stretched out. He actually looks younger than he was four years ago.
"Dad welcomes you very much," Zhong Changcun said with a smile, "Dad has been waiting for you to come back."
After the father and son were intimate, Zhong Changcun smiled and greeted Uncle Wei, "Brother Wei, please come in quickly. It's too cold outside. Come inside and warm up."
After saying that, he nodded to Di's mother beside him and shouted with an unchanged smile: "Jingmei, long time no see."
Mother Di was in a trance for a moment, hummed, and followed her eldest brother into the yard.
The Zhong family’s house is better built than the Di family’s. The yard is paved with cement and the roads on both sides are surrounded by red bricks. It is beautiful and clean.
Two pomegranate trees with twisted and spreading branches were transplanted into the yard, as well as two gardenia trees and two red plum trees, which were erected in front of the house.
Since Zhong Changcun only came back once a year, no one cleaned the house that was built the year before. The gardenias on the ground turned into mud, and in winter, they also exuded a faint cold fragrance along with the plum blossoms.
At first glance, there was a feeling that its owner was humble and steady, very much like the courtyard houses in Kyoto, and it was inexplicably several levels higher than the Di family.
The area of soil on both sides of the yard was quite large. As Mother Di walked, she had already made various plans in her mind. The front and back yards of the Di family were planted with fruits and vegetables by her, and she took good care of them. In summer and autumn, when the harvest was good, she would go to the city with her eldest and second brothers to sell them for money, and she could actually earn back the expenses for the year.
So when she saw the empty land, she felt jealous and heartbroken.
In winter, they can plant some vegetables by laying some straw. When the weather warms up, other people's crops have just been planted, and theirs can be sold on the market. They can also build a rack on one side of the wall to plant some climbing fruits and vegetables. Anyway, once the principle of passing through the middle is known, the rest can be planted.
Zhong Kangle was very curious about his new home and walked around it.
Zhong Changcun smiled and led Uncle Wei to park the car, and also took people on a tour.
The backyard is bigger than the front yard. It was built by diverting water from the dam that flows around the village to create a small pond and a stone bridge. Thick wire mesh is separated from the wall, and the fish kept in it are already very fat.
“I’m not at home often, so there were no fish here originally. It should be that some small fish fry got in through the iron net and made their home here. I didn’t expect it to grow so big.
They are all common fish. Brother Wei will bring a few back later to give these little guys some room to grow."
Zhong Changcun explained with a smile.
A shed was built on one side of the Zhong family's courtyard wall, which was used to raise chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, sheep and other livestock. The toilet was also made of cement, which looked clean and hygienic.
In the middle, there is a row of jujube trees, apple trees, cherry trees, apricot trees, pear trees, peach trees, chestnut trees and walnut trees. They are all good varieties found by Zhong Changcun, and some of them were specially grafted by someone else.
Although only two of each type are planted, they occupy half of the yard. In addition, there are two gardenia trees and a plum tree, which are said to be able to purify most of the odors in the shed.
On the other side, next to the provincial road, Zhong Changcun built four spacious back houses.
"Brother Zhong, your family has quite a lot of rooms," Uncle Wei couldn't help but click his tongue after seeing them.
Zhong Changcun smiled and nodded, pointing at the back seat and said, "I have learned some skills outside in the past few years. Kang Le just came back home, so I am not going to go out anymore. I will set up a stall here and do some small business."
"You are a capable person to have earned this family fortune." Uncle Wei said with some emotion.
He didn't ask any further questions and followed Zhong Changcun to the main hall.
The room was designed with a fire wall, so it was exceptionally warm inside. A few people held some brown sugar water and drank a few gulps, finally coming to their senses.
Zhong Changcun then had time to ask Zhong Kangle how he got here.
Zhong Kangle looked at Di's mother, and naturally Zhong Changcun also followed his gaze, his eyes were deep and full of pressure.
Mother Di looked at the shadow in the bowl with her eyelids lowered uncomfortably. Thinking about the confidentiality of the program, she could only say vaguely, "Liangzi wanted to go to the city to see some new things, and Lele wanted to find you, so they became godparents. That's it."
Zhong Kangle also smiled and nodded: "I wanted to come to see you, but my mother wouldn't let me, so I stayed at each other's house with Brother Liangzi for two months.
My mother agreed because she saw that Brother Liangzi was tall and strong.
She didn’t quite know that Shedong Village in Shan Province was adjacent to Xiaoshi Village.”
Zhong Changcun nodded, didn't ask any further questions, and chatted for a while.
Seeing that it was almost noon, he stood up to prepare food. However, his cooking skills were not very good, and he could barely cook the rice. He usually made do with what he had, so he was ready to ask for help.
So he said with a somewhat embarrassed look: "You guys sit down and drink some water and eat some cakes and candies first. Kang Le, you take care of your uncle and aunt. I'll be back soon."
"Brother Zhong, you don't have to worry about it. Shedong Village is only a few steps away. We didn't say we wanted to stay for dinner here when we came out.
Our family is waiting for us to go back," Uncle Wei and Mother Di hurriedly stood up.
"That won't work," Zhong Changcun said with a smile, "Kang Le and I finally got together as father and son, and we're worried that there's no one to make it fun together. You have to stay and help us get some cheer together."
