Wu Zhong only knew that someone from the capital had come to pick up the Zhou family back to Beijing at a temporary time, and he came in a hurry and did not prepare gifts in advance. But this is an opportunity for him to resolve the grievances between him and Wei Hong, and he must not let it go. At that moment, his eyes rolled, he gritted his teeth, quietly took off the jade pendant hanging on his waist, and stuffed it into Zhou Wang's hand with a smile: "It's not a respect, it's not a respect, please be sure to accept it." ”

A few neighbors who were hiding behind the door and peeking looked at the gift in Zhou Wang's hand, smashed his mouth, and sighed: "Did you see it?" The jade pendant that Wu Dagongzi picked just now was bought at a high price from a down-and-out businessman two years ago, and it was worth more than 500 taels of silver, and Wu Dagongzi liked it the most. Now that he has given his love to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, tsk, plus the gifts from Mr. Li and Lei Gongzi, it will cost at least seven or eight hundred taels. Hey, there is a powerful man in the family, just the gifts from others, converted into money, will not be spent in this life. ”

In fact, not only the neighbors are envious, but even the Zhou family is like a dream. After getting into the carriage under the protection of the servants of the Li family, and saying goodbye to Li Ye and the others, he marched towards the capital with excitement and anxiety.

When the Zhou family came to the capital, Wei Hong's factory wall had already been built and internal construction began. Wei Hong is not idle, when he has nothing to do, he goes to the construction site to supervise the work, and when he is at home, he and Li Xiehe conduct research and negotiation on the promotion of wheat planting after the beginning of spring, and every day is also fulfilling. At this time, Wei Hong and Zhou Dali were sitting in the shed built at the construction site, leaning next to the brazier to discuss the follow-up construction. Suddenly, a servant ran over in a hurry, standing in front of Wei Hong and Zhou Dali, his face flushed, and he panted: "Sir, Steward Zhou, great joy!" ”

Hearing this, Wei Hong didn't react much, just put his hand on the brazier and rubbed it, and said absentmindedly: "What kind of happy event?" ”

The servant took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Dali, and said, "Steward Zhou's family has already entered the city gate, and in half an hour, you can reach the gate!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Dali stood up suddenly. He stepped in front of the servant in two steps, stretched out his big hands like tiger claws, grabbed the servant's arms, and said ecstatically: "Really? ”

The servant was so frightened by the overreaction that Zhou Dali stammered: "Dang...... Seriously. ”

Zhou Dali let go of the servant, turned to look at Wei Hong, who was smiling, and unexpectedly dropped the golden beans. Since Zhou Dali followed Wei Hong's side, Wei Hong has only seen Zhou Dali cry once, that time when Wei Hong was kidnapped by mountain bandits in Hangzhou. And now that Zhou Dali is crying again, Wei Hong knows very well that Zhou Dali is crying with joy because he can finally reunite with his family. Seeing Zhou Dali crying with a handful of snot and tears, Wei Hong just smiled slightly and didn't say anything. After all, few people can deal with this kind of happy event calmly, and they will cry when they cry. If it was replaced by other trivial matters, Zhou Dali dared to cry into this virtue, and Wei Hong would have kicked it up a long time ago.

Wei Hong slowly stood up, patted Zhou Dali's shoulder, and said with a smile: "What are you still doing in a daze, go!" Go home! ”

"Yes!" Zhou Dali wiped the tears from his face and nodded like pounded garlic.

The construction site is not far from Hongyuan Commercial Bank, and it will take a short time to arrive in a horse-drawn carriage. When Wei Hong and Zhou Dali arrived, they found that the Zhou family had not yet arrived, so they waited at the door. Zhou Dali, this kid is usually very steady, but this time, he is like a child, walking around the door, constantly looking in the direction where his family may appear.

Li Xiehe and Li Zongren stood with them at the door for a while before going back, and Wei Hong, the three young ladies of the Li family and the late lady stood at the door to accompany Zhou Dali. The weather was cold, and Wan Niang found a velvet coat for Wei Hong to put on, and Wei Hong stretched out his arm around Wan Niang's shoulder, looked at Zhou Dali who was walking around, and said with a smile: "This kid has been with me for so long, it's the first time I've been like this, it seems that I'm really happy." ”

The late lady in her arms nodded and echoed: "Well, I have been separated from my family for so long, and now I can finally be reunited, and happiness is inevitable." ”

Li Qiulan had caught a little cold recently, sneezed, rubbed her nose and said, "I know that the Zhou family is here today, and I ran several streets with my eldest sister and second sister in the morning to buy the gifts." My legs hurt when I run, and I don't know if they like it or not. ”

Just as a few people were talking, there was a sound of wheeling from the north of the road, and when they looked closely, they saw a carriage at the end of the road, which was sent to Hangzhou to meet the Zhou family. Seeing the carriage, Zhou Dali, who was anxious just now, suddenly stood still, and just watched the carriage gradually walk in. When the carriage arrived at the door, a child's crisp shout sounded, and Zhou Dali cried out. It's no wonder that a big man cries like this, and it's no wonder it's hard for him.

The curtain of the car door was lifted, and two tiger-headed boys jumped out of the car, and pounced straight on Zhou Dali, one of them hugged Zhou Dali's thigh, and shouted ecstatically: "Third uncle!" You're going to kill us. ”

Zhou Dali squatted down, hugged Zhou Jian and Zhou Gui in his arms, wiped away the tears on his face, and grinned: "Third Uncle misses you too." ”

At this time, Zhou Wang's family, Zhou Wu's family, and the second elder also walked down from the carriage, came to Zhou Dali's side, and hugged Zhou Dali and cried. The four girls standing at the door were all moved, their eyes were red, and Li Qiulan, the little girl, also secretly cried.

Wei Hong couldn't stand this kind of scene the most, rubbed his somewhat sour nose, and yelled at Zhou Dali: "It's cold outside, take the two sisters-in-law and the second elder into the house to warm up first!" ”

After entering the main hall, Li Xiehe was drinking tea, and when he saw the Zhou family coming, he put down the teacup, stood up and greeted the Zhou family amiably. After the Zhou family visited Li Xiehe, they took a seat under Wei Hong's arrangement. Zhou Dali held a nephew in one hand and stood behind the second elder, while the two sisters-in-law accompanied him on the left and right.

Before Wei Hong could speak, Wan Niang and Li Ruohua walked forward with a bamboo basket, took out two palm-sized coins made of pure gold from the basket, and stuffed them into the hands of the second elder. He said softly: "It's a gift to the second elder, a small gift is not a tribute." ”

The second elder still wanted to excuse himself, but Zhou Dali dissuaded him behind him: "Father and mother, you can accept it, this is the gentleman's intention." ”

After sending off the second elder, the late lady carried the basket, walked to the two sisters-in-law, took out two good hairpins from it, and handed them to the two sisters-in-law: "Wan Niang has given the two sisters-in-law a gift." ”

Zhou Wang and Zhou Wu hurriedly accepted the hairpin, learned the etiquette of a large family, and gave Wan Niang a bow: "Thank you, madam." ”
