Zhou Xiaozheng was driving the car, and saw the entrance of the ancestral hall from a distance, his daughter, son-in-law and patriarch were standing in one place waiting, and he saw Zhou Jiao relax a little with a heavy heart, and said happily to Mrs. Cheng: "Auntie, you will see Jiaojiao later, and they are not far in front of them." ”

Mrs. Cheng hurriedly looked out the window and squinted her eyes, "I'm really old, my eyes are not good, and I see the shadow of a person." Let's hurry up and see the kids. ”

After a while, several cars were all parked on the side of Zhang Guoqing's drive, and Zhou Xiao was helping Mrs. Cheng, followed by a bunch of people walking towards the ancestral hall.

Before arriving at the ancestral hall, Mrs. Cheng tried her best to open her eyes wide, walked in with her footsteps, looked at Zhou Jiao who was smiling in front of her, couldn't help crying, ran in front of Zhou Jiao, stumbled in front of Zhou Jiao, and hugged the stunned Zhou Jiao tightly.

"Sister, why don't you wait for me, I'm Qinglian. Sister, why haven't you given me your dreams? ”

Zhou Jiao came back to her senses, hurriedly hugged the old lady, comforted her softly, and patted her gently, "Auntie, look at it, I'm your junior, I'm Jiaojiao, look at it, I'm hot." You touch it, don't you? ”

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at his daughter's paper-like figure, hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady, and comforted her sentence by sentence, "Auntie, you see this is our Jiaojiao." Don't get excited, your body won't be able to take it anymore. ”

Dr. Huang, who had been prepared for a long time, stepped forward to prick a needle for the old lady, pulled out the silver needle, fed the medicine, and waited for the old lady to breathe a sigh before wiping her sweat and retreating to the back.

Mrs. Cheng drank warm water, dragged Zhou Jiao's arm stiffly, didn't care about the tears on her face, and gently touched Zhou Jiao's little face with her hand, "It's not a sister, it's really not a sister." But our Jiaojiao is exactly the same as my sister, when she gave birth to a child, she was so haggard, and her body was thin and thin. Child, did Grandma scare you? ”

Zhou Jiao smiled and shook her head, "Grandma, am I really similar to grandma?" I'm glad you can't scare me. Grandma's granddaughter is not so weak. Thank you for always remembering my grandmother, she must be happy to know that we are together. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng hurriedly said, "Auntie, let's talk about it, and then we have to be happy." Don't get excited, I'll let Jiaojiao accompany you, let's talk slowly about something. ”

Zhou Jiao took the handkerchief handed by Zhang Guoqing, gently wiped the tears on the old lady's face, and said with a smile: "Grandma, you have to be good, you have to tell me about my grandmother." I'm still waiting for you to accompany me to see my grandparents. We're not sad. ”

With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Cheng nodded with a smile, "Okay, Grandma listens to you." If you say you're not sad, I'm not sad. Your grandmother often said that your daughter's family should not be weak and not shed tears. Child, you talk the same as your grandmother, and if your grandfather were still alive, he would be very proud to see you. He used to say that he wanted to have a girl like your grandmother. It's a pity that the two of them have a thin life and can't see you. ”

"Don't be afraid, grandparents have been watching us from the sky, they have been blessing my dad and bless me, you see that our father and daughter have survived. After that, we would often go to the graves of our grandparents and talk to them, and they would be very happy to know that we were all together. ”

Cheng Lao looked at Zhou Jiao with a smile, he was really famous for a long time. Now that she sees a real person, she really looks like her grandmother. The tone of speech is the same as comforting people.

Old Man Lin pulled Cheng Lao beside him and said proudly, "How is it?" Isn't my Jiaojiao very ordinary? Does it look like everyone's girlfriend? I'm not exaggerating, am I? ”

Cheng Lao laughed, patted him and quipped: "That's a good root, what are you proud of?" And not with you rude man. After speaking, he couldn't help but nodded, "You haven't seen Gu Mingzhu." If Jiaojiao goes to the capital, those older generations will say that they are Zhou Jinyu and Gu Mingzhu's species when they see it. You don't need any evidence, just look at people. ”

Old Man Lin asked suspiciously, "Is it really so similar?" Are you sure your wife isn't dazzled? ”

Zhou Jiao heard Cheng Lao and her grandfather laughing, and shouted with a smile: "Grandpa, you are here too?" You're my aunt and grandfather, right? Just by listening to the laughter, you know that you two are old brothers with deep feelings. Our family is really fateful. ”

Old Man Lin pointed at Cheng Lao proudly, "It's not an old buddy." Jiaojiao, you remember that our ancestors and grandchildren are close, don't look at your aunt and grandfather as a literati, just think that he is a literati, and think that he is in the same group. ”

Zhou Jiao nodded with a smile and said happily: "Kiss it." All three of us are in a group. Auntie, you can show the contents of the basket, if there is anything you haven't prepared, I will ask your grandson-in-law to find it all. ”

When Zhang Guoqing heard this, he took off the cloth on the basket. Mrs. Cheng stretched out her hand and flipped through it, nodded happily, and praised them, "You two are very well prepared." I forgot about it. ”

Zhou Jiao saw that things were ready, and the patriarch and clan elders were waiting, and nodded at her father.

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded and supported Mrs. Cheng into the courtyard of the ancestral hall. According to the patriarch's will, he left a person with a foreign surname to watch, and carried a basket into the house with his wife, daughter, and son-in-law.

Put on the offerings, light the candles, worship the ancestors of the Zhou family, the four of them knelt in front of the many tablets, listened to the patriarch tell the history of the Zhou family sentence by sentence, and so on, one by one incense, light up the children and grandchildren's lamp, and began to go to the family tree.

After completing a series of processes, the Zhou family and the Cheng family who were watching outside breathed a sigh of relief. Once the genealogy is complete, the rest is over.

Someone in the Zhoujia Village secretly muttered, "Why didn't the old Zhou family come out alone?" ”

The acquaintance next to him touched him and shook his head at him, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and both shook their heads.

Patriarch Zhou looked at the end and kept them, "It's about to be lunch, the family is ready, go to my house to eat first." ”

Zhang Guoqing had just walked out of the solemn atmosphere, and when he saw Patriarch Zhou staying, he hurriedly said, "Little grandpa, we really can't go to your house at noon." My mother had already ordered it, and the family had prepared it. You have to go to my house today to join in the fun, but don't rob me of people. ”

The patriarch listened and looked at a few clan elders, "Let's forget it, let's not go to join in the fun." When you are free, come up to your house and sit down. Xiaozheng, this is your home, don't forget that there are still clansmen here in the future, remember to call everyone if you have something. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded and bowed to the patriarch and clan elder, "You have worked hard today. I always remember that I am from the Zhou family and I went out from Zhoujia Village. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, remember to tell me, and you will do your best to help. As long as the main house of the Zhou family exists, it will never forget that the old patriarch helped the main house with good intentions. I'm just not here, I still have my daughter Zhou Jiao, and my son-in-law Zhang Guoqing, and those who can help will definitely not stay out of the way. ”

The patriarch and clan elders nodded with satisfaction, sent them out of the ancestral hall with a smile, and sighed as they drove away.

The old man of the clan said angrily: "Zhou Jiaren's house is finished, and he will not be an ancestral hall today." If you don't take advantage of the ancestral hall and the main house to say a few words, this is going to break the roots. ”

The patriarch sighed in a low voice: "Forget it, they have done everything, they understand that it is useless to cry and beg by themselves." Zhou Xiaozheng's father and daughter are affectionate, but they are not stupid, they don't pursue them, they don't even want the gold and silver, they just plan to break it. Don't you see that the eldest son of the Zhou family was released? That's all the favor. is to come to the door again, do you think Zhou Jiao's daughter will pay attention to them? If the old patriarch has something at home, they will help him. Our old Zhou family can still ask for help if they really encounter a big event. That family also deserves retribution, and in the past few years, they have not contributed to the difficulties encountered in the clan, and they have said some ugly things. ”

A clan elder beside him sneered, "Yes, the main house has been supporting their family for several generations, and they are still not dead, and they are calculating." If it had been before, the family would have left the clan a long time ago. ”

Everyone understands that this main house has been raising Zhou Jiaren's father from the beginning to the present, if you really want to count it, there is no kindness, only resentment. At the beginning, Zhou Jiaren returned to his hometown to raise Zhou Xiaozheng, in addition to the appearance of the old patriarch, he also valued the property of the Gu family.
