Although the relevant departments of the Guangzhou Municipal Government have arranged a cadre building for Yulin's family, Yulin still wants to go back to his home - Xiguan Lufu.

Yu Lin took Shuxian and Ah Cheng's coffins back to the Lu Mansion in Lychee Bay, Guangzhou, where the two small white buildings and small yellow buildings still stand on the shore of Zhilan Lake.

Pushing the door in, the Lu Mansion is no longer the vibrant scene of the year, the current Lu Mansion is dilapidated, the lawn is overgrown with weeds, the three-story building has been in disrepair for many years, mottled, and even has a lot of gun holes, it can be seen that the Lu Mansion has been repeatedly damaged in these years of war, and has become full of holes.

Walking into the spacious living room, some of the original furnishings are gone, because it has been uninhabited for a long time, so the thieves often visit this place, except for some furniture that cannot be moved, the house has basically been emptied.

Yu Lin went upstairs and looked at the original bedroom, the layout here has basically not changed, the piano is still preserved, Yu Lin walked over, wiped off the floating ash on the lid, and then opened the lid, played a few notes with his right hand, the sound of the piano is still so crisp and melodious, Yu Lin looked at his left hand, sighed, and closed the lid.

Yu Lin came to the Buddha Hall, the thieves here are not interested, so it is basically the same, the portraits of the ancestors of the Lu family are still hung on the wall, but the spirit cards of the ancestors of the Lu family are poured horizontally on the offering table, Yu Lin cleaned up the offering table, and then respectfully wiped the spirit cards one by one, and after placing them, he took out Shuxian's tablet and put it on the offering table.

"Shuxian, go home." Yu Lin silently stared at the tablet on the table, and Yu Rong stood beside Yu Lin, her eyes red again.

"Come, boys, all of you." Lu Yulin called Ming'er, Yong'er, and Yu'er to the Buddhist hall.

"Ming'er, Yong'er, Yu'er, you are all optimistic, the portraits on this wall are the ancestors of our Lu family, and our Lu family has been loyal and good for generations, so as the descendants of the Lu family, you must not tarnish the name of your ancestors and shame the ancestors of the Lu family. You must remember the "Family Motto Song", not only to be able to recite it, but also to practice it, understand? ”

After hearing this, Ming'er nodded seriously, while Yong'er and Yu'er seemed to understand whether they understood or not, blinking their eyes and nodding with their brother.

"Come, children, kneel down and kowtow to the ancestors of the Lu family, as well as your grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, aunts, and mothers."

The children immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the tablets on the table.

"If any of you make a mistake in the future, stay here, face these tablets and portraits, and reflect on your mistakes, understand?"

The three children nodded timidly.

"Yulin, just came back, let the children take a break, don't be so serious, look at the children so scared that they don't dare to come out, there is time to do the rules."

"Yurong, this is the first lesson I teach to the children." Yu Lin's face was still serious: "I want to let them understand that being a member of the Lu family is an honor and a responsibility." This philosophy must be deeply ingrained in the hearts of children. ”

When Yu Rong heard this, she nodded: "Children, your father is right, we are the Lu family, we must do things for the Lu family to honor our ancestors, and we can't do things that embarrass our ancestors, do you understand?" ”

"Hmm." The children nodded earnestly.

Hearing that Yulin was back, the neighbors all came to see what was going on, and everyone greeted Yulin's family, which made Yulin and Yurong suddenly feel a kind of cordiality.

The white-haired old Mr. Zhuang Xiqing, with the support of his family, also heard the news and rushed over, Yulin saw Mr. Zhuang and hurriedly knelt down to say goodbye.

"Mr. Zhuang, please accept the little nephew." Yu Lin bowed down to Mr. Zhuang.

"Virtuous nephew, please, you are now a big cadre of the Communist Party, and the old man can't afford it." Mr. Zhuang helped Yulin up.

"Mr. Zhuang's great kindness to our Lu family, Yulin is unforgettable." Yu Lin burst into tears.

Mr. Zhuang looked at Yu Lin in front of him, haggard and vicissitudes, and his eyes were full of distress: "Yu Lin, you have suffered all these years. What about Shuxian? “

Mr. Zhuang looked around and did not see Shuxian.

Yu Lin pointed to the coffin: "Shuxian has donated her body, and I brought Shuxian's remains back." “

When Mr. Zhuang looked at it, he burst into tears: "Alas, it's sad." If the country is uneasy, the family will be unfortunate. Shuxian is gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable, I didn't expect to die at such a young age, it's a pity, it's a pity. “

Yu Lin looked at Shuxian's coffin, sadness came from it, and tears came out of her eyes.

Mr. Zhuang wiped away his tears, and then pointed to the coffin next to him: "Who is that?" “

"That's Ah Cheng." Yu Lin looked at Ah Cheng's coffin.

"Ah Cheng is also ancient?" Zhuang Xiqing sighed helplessly: "They are all young offspring." I grew up watching Ah grow up, alas, ......, but finally my soul has returned to my hometown. The Lu family is worthy of being the first martyr's home in Xiguan. “

"Mr. Zhuang has an overreputation, and I dare not take this honor seriously. Dare to dedicate themselves to the country, sacrifice for the country is not only our Lu family, in troubled times, only by standing up can we protect the country and protect the country, protect the country and the people, our Lu family is just following the ancestral teachings and doing our duty. “

"The virtuous nephew is really too modest." Mr. Zhuang looked down and saw a little boy and a little girl standing beside Yu Lin, and hurriedly bent down and said to the boy, "This is Ming'er, right?" They were all so tall, I remember being just three or four years old. “

"Hello old man." Ming'er bowed and kowtowed to Mr. Zhuang.

"This kid has your father's legacy. Then this is ......" Zhuang Xiqing looked at the porcelain doll-like Yu'er.

"Hello grandpa, my name is Yu'er. A well-known metaphor, Lu Xuan is a metaphor. Yu'er introduced herself to Mr. Zhuang.

"This is my daughter and Shuxian were born in Shanghai." Yu Lin hurriedly introduced to Mr. Zhuang.

"Okay, good name, really good, between the eyebrows and eyes really looks like Shuxian." Mr. Zhuang Xiqing hugged Yu'er, looked at the pink Yu'er, and felt that Shuxian was back again.

Mr. Zhuang raised his head and saw the pot-bellied Yu Rong: "This is Yu Rong." “

"Yurong is my wife now." Yu Lin explained to Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang nodded: "After the rain, the sky is clear, otherwise it will be extremely Tai Lai." Yurong can be regarded as having found a good home. “

Yurong took Yong'er's hand, walked in front of Zhuang Xiqing, and bowed to the old man.

"Mr. Zhuang, hello, your kindness to our family, Yurong has no way to reciprocate."

"Young Grandma Yurong said this, and she saw the outside, our Zhuang family and the Lu family are world friends, don't use these false courtesies, you can think of me in times of crisis, I can help you, this is the honor of the old man." Mr. Zhuang looked at the girl beside Yurong: "This should be Yuting's flesh and blood, Yong'er, right?" ”

"Grandpa Zhuang's memory is really good, I am Yong'er, and my mother said that you are the great benefactor of our family. Let me honor you as I honor my own grandfather. Yong'er bowed to Zhuang Xiqing.

"Hurry up, get up." Zhuang Xiqing helped Yong'er up from the ground, stroked Yong'er's head, and looked at Yong'er with pity: "Yurong, it's not easy for you, this kid is so smart, it's your credit, Yu Ting knows the ground and is at ease." ”

"Oh, by the way, the young grandmother once entrusted me to take charge of the Lu family's industry, the old man is incompetent, two factories were destroyed in the shelling, and several of them I have moved to Hong Kong, and the rest can only barely maintain, almost no profit, ashamed. You've come back just in time, and in my lifetime you'll finally be able to return to their rightful owners. “

Mr. Zhuang took a thick stack of account books from the housekeeper and handed them to Yu Lin: "This is the account books of the factories of the Lu Group over the years. Please take a look at the virtuous nephew and the young grandmother Yurong. “

"Mr. Zhuang, you say this, let me and Yurong deal with ourselves, for so many years, we have been in exile, and the Lu family's industry is all dependent on you to take care of it, you have worked hard for our Lu family's industry, and you have done everything possible to protect our Lu family's industry and help us maintain turnover, how can this hard work be covered by these accounts, Mr. Zhuang is above, please accept the little nephew again." Yu Lin knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Mr. Zhuang.

"Virtuous nephew, please get up, please get up." Zhuang Xiqing helped Yu Lin up: "Last time you asked me to sell the antiques and calligraphy in the Lu Mansion and the Lu Mansion, I sold some of them, and most of them I have stored the Baoyuan Pawnshop for you, which is the pawnshop under my name, I am afraid that the Lu Mansion and the Lu Mansion will have no one to watch over the house and be stolen by thieves, so they will all be transferred to the Baoyuan Pawnshop." You can come and pick it up at any time. ”

"Mr. Zhuang's friendship with our Lu family makes Yu Lin unforgettable," Yu Lin's eyes flashed with tears.

"Virtuous nephew, when you see the outside, it's just a gesture. Don't get hung up. Mr. Zhuang patted Yulin's hand.

"Mr. Zhuang, now liberated, Guangzhou city is in ruins, we hope that people of insight can join our city government work, for the construction of a better Guangzhou and make suggestions, Mr. Zhuang is a highly respected scholar, in Guangzhou political and business circles are pivotal, if you can practice, for us to make suggestions, that is the well-being of Guangzhou citizens."

Mr. Zhuang hurriedly clenched his fists: "The virtuous nephew is serious, the old man is old, and he has been idle for many years, except for opening a private school and teaching a few children to chant poetry and paint, he has no other strengths." “

"Mr. Zhuang is too modest, you are old and talented, the reason why you have been idle for many years, willing to be an idle cloud and wild crane, and unwilling to be an official, is because the government was a thief and a wolf, of course you do not want to be with it, and the national government is weak and incompetent, and the defeat in it, so that the old man is deeply disappointed, so you are willing to be indifferent to this life, you are old and clean, and you are respectable. However, Mr. Zhuang, now is a new era in which the people are the masters of the country, and we communists take the well-being of the people as the goal of struggle, so we still hope that Mr. Zhuang can help the people. “

Yu Lin's words were sincere, which made Zhuang Xiqing feel the sincerity of the Communists, and he felt a warm current flowing in his heart.

"If your party thinks that the old man still has something to use, then the old man will spare no effort and do his best in his lifetime." Zhuang Xiqing's voice was like a bell, and he was emotional.

Yu Lin's heart was surging, and his hands were tightly clasped with Mr. Zhuang.

Yulin's family temporarily lived in the cadre building, Zhuang Xiqing sent someone to reorganize and repair the Lu Mansion and the Lu Mansion, and then Yu Lin returned to the Lu Mansion with his wife and children. This is the place where he was born, grew up, got married, and gave birth to children, where he had his father's earnest teachings, his mother's loving advice, Shuxian's affection, Uncle Yao's care, and Ah Cheng's fierce loyalty.

On a sunny afternoon, Yu Lin took Yurong, Ming'er, Yong'er, Yu'er and Fat Aunt to help Shuxian, Ah Cheng and Uncle Yao's coffins to the ancestral tomb of the Lu family in the back mountain of Baiyun Mountain, and buried the remains of Shuxian, Ah Cheng and Uncle Yao here.

Yulin, Yurong and the children knelt down and kowtowed in front of Shuxian's tombstone.

"Shuxian, this is your home, with your father, aunt, brother and sister-in-law, and the company of the ancestors and ancestors of the Lu family, you can rest here for a long time."

"Sister Shuxian, we will come to see you often, Zhao'er is about to be born, we are going to have a sixth child, Yulin and I will definitely raise these children to adulthood, you can rest assured."

Everyone came to Uncle Yao's tomb again, Yu Lin knelt in front of the tomb, looked at Uncle Yao's tomb, and felt sour in his heart: "Uncle Yao, you watched me be born, watched me toddler, watched me go from elementary school to military school, watched me get married and have children, when I was a child, I always rode on your shoulders, you took me to the east, to the west, you always protected me everywhere, not let me suffer the slightest grievance, when I was a child, I was naughty, my father wanted to beat me, you always blocked for me." But before I could repay you, you left. Uncle Yao......"

Yu Lin couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, in his heart, Uncle Yao was like a father, and he loved him a lot. But before he could support Uncle Yao's old age, Uncle Yao died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Japanese invaders. It can really be said: the son wants to be filial and his relatives are not there.

Yulin came to Ah Cheng's tomb again, and knelt down: "Ah Cheng, good brother, I, Lu Yulin, am sorry for you, I know that you have always been proud of being the Lu family, and now I have brought you back to the ancestral tomb of the Lu family, you said, you were born as a member of our Lu family, and death was the ghost of our Lu family, and now I have finally fulfilled your wish." After a hundred years, I will go underground to make amends to you. “

Ah Cheng's death has always been the shadow of Lu Yulin's heart, although Yurong once comforted him, but he has always refused to forgive himself, and now that Ah Cheng's remains have been moved into the Lu family's ancestral tomb, Lu Yulin's heart feels a little comforted.

Subsequently, Lu Yulin, Yurong sprinkled wine in front of the tombs of her parents, second uncles and aunts, Yuting and Xiulin. Looking at the new and old tombs, Yu Lin's heart was faintly dripping blood as if it had been pricked by a needle.

Soon after returning from the sacrifice, Yurong felt unbearable abdominal pain, Yulin sent Yurong to the hospital, and it didn't take long for Yurong to give birth to a big fat boy weighing seven pounds and seven taels - Zhao'er, and the whole family was busy to welcome the arrival of this little life.
