On the day of departure, the weather was not very good.

Dark clouds obscured the sun, a gloomy overhead, and the air was damp.

Zhang Jiao also felt a little out of breath.

It's just that she can't tell if her chest tightness is due to the weather or because of her hometown timidity.

This time, they returned to the mainland on the ship of Baizhou Shipping, and Tang Yun specially arranged a group of people to escort them all the way north.

Finally, it will dock at Haicheng Port.

Haicheng is a city with developed transportation and relatively developed economy, and it is also the place where their ancestors of the Zhang family made their fortunes and led the Zhang family to grow gradually.

The ancestral home of the Zhang family in the real sense is here.

By the time we arrived at the port, it was already dusk.

Under the orange-red sunset, the sea seems to be dyed red, Zhang Jiao looked at the Haicheng Wharf in the sunset, and suddenly had a sense of stability in his heart.

"Jiaojiao, keep up!"

Zhang Yun walked a little way and found her niece standing there in a trance, did not follow the footsteps, and hurriedly shouted.

Chu Ting had been talking to Mr. Fang, the investment docking person who came to greet him, and he didn't pay attention to Zhang Jiao behind him. She didn't stop until she heard her wife call her name.

Mr. Fang also swallowed half of his words, and stopped to look back at Zhang Jiao.

"Here we are."

Zhang Jiao came back to her senses in surprise, and when she saw that everyone was waiting for her, she answered loudly and trotted a few steps to them. Said apologetically: "I see the scenery over there is very good, I didn't pay attention." ”

Chu Ting didn't say anything, the little girl's family already had a curious heart, not to mention that Jiaojiao had been in Hong Kong City since she was born, and she had never returned to Haicheng at all, so it was normal to be curious.

Zhang Yun said with a smile, "You can't be distracted anymore, otherwise you will be lost." ”

Zhang Jiao didn't believe it, but she still nodded.

With so many bodyguards here, she will definitely not be lost.

But she didn't say anything, and followed behind her uncle and aunt, no longer thinking about it.

Mr. Fang smiled, "The dock is more dirty and messy, it is not a good scenery, the more prosperous streets in Haicheng are near Pingshan Street, if you want to say that the beautiful scenery is in the Hongyun Bridge, Mrs. Chu and Miss Zhang can go there if they are interested." ”

Zhang Jiao secretly wrote down this address, thinking that when she was done with business, she could go and have a look.

Mr. Fang took them to have a special dinner in Haicheng first, and after the meal, he also thoughtfully arranged for them to rest first.

"A few distinguished guests have come from afar, they must be very tired, take a rest today, and tomorrow I will arrange someone to take you to visit Haicheng."

Mr. Fang was very polite and arranged very properly. It is very good to take care of their hard body on the journey.

Chu Ting nodded and smiled, "Thank you." ”

The other party waved his hand, didn't stay too long, and left directly.

Zhang Jiao couldn't help yawning, and when her aunt saw it, she hurriedly urged, "You go to the room to rest, and I'll take you to the Zhang family's ancestral house tomorrow." ”

Zhang Jiao glanced at her uncle next to her, "Auntie, aren't you with your uncle?" Isn't it necessary to discuss investment with someone tomorrow? Wouldn't it be nice for us to leave? ”

Zhang Yun shook her head with a smile and pushed her into the room, "Don't worry, it's enough for your uncle to do those things, we're busy with our own." You rest early, replenish your strength as soon as possible, tomorrow we have big things to do. ”

Chu Ting also said gently: "Leave the rest to me, you just do what you want to do." ”

Zhang Jiao was pushed into the door by the husband and wife in a daze, looked at the dark room, and shrugged helplessly, let's take a bath and sleep, the thoughts of the elders are really hard to guess.

Early the next morning, Zhang Jiao had breakfast and set off with Zhang Yun to Huangyun Street.

That is, the street where the old house of the Zhang family is located.

Zhang Yun got into the car and asked her aunt suspiciously, "Auntie, don't we go and submit the materials first to get back to the old house?" "Why did you just come here?

After so many years, if there are people living in the old house, it is estimated that the door locks have been changed several times, and they can't get in if they come to the door like this, right?

"It's okay, I just want to go check it out first. When we've seen it, we'll submit it. Zhang Yun held her hand and said with relief.

It's been almost thirty years since she left Haicheng, and this place is no longer what she remembers. But she still wanted to see where she was born and raised.

"Oh." Zhang Jiao doesn't care, it's just a trouble, and she doesn't have to walk by herself.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yun stood at the door of the old mansion.

It's still the same as it was at the beginning, but after the lack of maintenance, it has become much more dilapidated. There are also many mottled traces on the forehead, full of the vicissitudes of time.

Zhang Jiao stepped forward to take a look, the door was not locked, she saw that the lock seemed to be a commonly used object, and it was shining caused by friction.

"Auntie, our house is really occupied."

Zhang Yun nodded calmly, "Well, I can see it." "The threshold is about to be stepped out of a pit, how can there be no one to live?

Zhang Jiao looked down, and sure enough, there was an obvious depression, it seemed that it was not a simple matter to get the house back. "We can't get in with this door locked, so are we going to invest directly now?"

I had already inquired earlier, and if I wanted to get back the ancestral house, I had to take out the evidence that the house once belonged to the Zhang family, such as the title deed and other supporting materials, and hand it over to the housing management office.

After the official review, if it is confirmed that the submitted information is correct and true, we will help to re-apply for the property certificate and inform the sub-district office to return the house.

Zhang Yun nodded, "Okay, then let's ......"

"Eh, who are you? Looking for my home Daping? ”

Zhang Jiao looked back and saw that an aunt who was about the same age as her aunt was wearing a gray blouse and carrying a bamboo basket full of vegetables, staring at them suspiciously.

"Auntie, is this your home?" Zhang Jiao raised a polite smile and pointed to the door and asked quietly.

The aunt was busy with her head, "Yes! Didn't I ask if you were looking for my family? What's the matter with you? ”

She looked at the bodyguards next to her with some jealousy, and looked at the clothes of Aunt Zhang Jiao and nephew with a little envy, she had never seen such a good-looking style.

She also wants to buy her daughter one.

I wonder if they bought it from the capital? It should be, it's a car with so many people, such a big pomp, it should be a powerful person, right?

Can she still afford the clothes? No matter how many workers there are at home, they can't afford to build?

Zhang Jiao and her aunt glanced at each other, and replied with a smile, "Auntie, I don't look for your family." We're coming back to see our family's old home. ”

She didn't shy away from telling them what they were here for, after all, after the house was brought back, she still had to tell the other party, who let the family live here now!

If you want to get the house back, you have to arrange for them to go out first.

"Old mansion?" The aunt's brain turned around urgently, and her finger pointed to the door of the house where she had lived for nearly ten years, "Our house is your old house?" ”

Zhang Jiao nodded, "Yes." Is this the only place for your family now? ”

"That's not it, there are several families living in it!" The aunt shook her head, "You want to take the house back?" ”

"That's natural. We rushed back thousands of miles just to get our ancestral home back, otherwise wouldn't we have run in vain? Zhang Yun's words carried a firmness that could not be ignored.

The aunt sighed, looked at Zhang Yun, who was about the same age as her, and then looked at the young and beautiful Zhang Jiao, and took out the house key from the basket, "You guys come into the house with me first." ”

She stepped forward to unlock the door, pushed it open, and stepped into the threshold first, "Come in!" We sat and talked. ”

Zhang Yun didn't hesitate and followed.

The wall behind the gate was gone, and only a row of low piers remained in place, presumably smashed back then.

Zhang Jiao was not afraid of her aunt's bad intentions, they brought seven or eight bodyguards, so they also ordered two bodyguards to follow into the door.

As soon as she entered, the aunt closed the door and latched it again.

Zhang Jiao was surprised, "Auntie, why did you plug in the latch?" ”

The aunt picked up the vegetable basket that had just been placed on the ground, "Hey! Recently, the streets have not been very peaceful, and there are always small thieves who frequent. Originally, the gate of our courtyard was not closed, isn't it that something was stolen next door?

The big guys were scared, so they went out and locked it, and when they came home, they plugged in the latch again, so that the messy people didn't have to touch the house. ”

Zhang Jiao secretly wondered, is that wonder?

"You come with me, my house is by the gate, there is no one in the house, they all go to work, and I am alone at home."

She stepped forward to open the door of her house and stood in the doorway and beckoned to them.

"Auntie?" Zhang Jiao stepped forward and shouted to Zhang Yun, who was standing motionless.

Zhang Yun came back to her senses, "Huh? What's wrong? ”

Zhang Jiao pointed to her aunt, "She invited us into the house to sit." ”

Zhang Yun looked in the direction, and the aunt was still leaning against the door, looking at them with puzzled eyes.

"Then let's go."
