Chapter 119: Recognizing Ancestors and Returning to the Clan 2
In this heroic family, everyone shed tears. Chu Yuan Shan, the business magnate in his early years, also had a tear-stained face. The three little babies all burst into tears, while only Chu Tian Xiong maintained a calm demeanor, but he was also extremely delighted in his heart!
"Zi Feng, this is your second aunt's husband, You Shao Dong, who is currently the deputy commander of the Shenyang Military Region. You've already met your second aunt; this is their daughter, also your second cousin, You Ran Yin."
You Shaodong was still wearing his military uniform, with a lieutenant general rank badge on it, just like his wife Zhao Jin Yan.
"Second aunt is well, second uncle is well."
"Good child, just come back, just come back."
Zhao Jiyan wiped away her tears, and her husband You Shao Dong comforted her for a while before saying: "Zi Feng, we all know what happened to you in Yanjing. Well done, you got rid of those damned wolf people."
It's just that You Xiangdong only knew about the wolf people, and it seems they didn't know about the Dan medicine. However, Chu Zifeng couldn't guarantee whether his grandfather or uncle knew about this matter.
"Hey, I'm telling you, big brother, how could you not greet me? Now we're siblings."
You Ran pulled on Chu Zi Feng's clothes and said with a frown.
"Haha, look at my memory, I forgot to ask Erjie Mei, you're auspicious."
Chu Zifeng's question made all the people who were still crying laugh, it seemed that what they had worried about before was unnecessary. Chu Zifeng had lived outside for eighteen years and not only didn't become introverted but also had a pretty sunny personality.
"Haha, no way, no way. I've heard that big brother is very good at fighting, so you must teach your little sister some moves in the future."
"I want it too, I want it too."
The other two girls walked forward and pulled Chu Zifeng, saying:
Zhao Jin Hong said: "These two girls, one is your third aunt Zhao Jin Mei's daughter Guo Xiang Xiang, and the other is your fourth aunt Zhao Jin Li's daughter Deng Yi."
Next, Chu Zi Feng identified the people from his uncle's family one by one. Third Aunt Zhao Jinmei was the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Fujian Province, and Fourth Aunt Zhao Jinli was the Governor of Guangdong Province. Their husbands were the Commander-in-Chief of the Guangzhou Military Region and the Commander-in-Chief of the Chengdu Military Region. The power and influence of the Zhao family was truly formidable and awe-inspiring! Not to mention Zhao Hong, who was about to take office as Premier, even any member of the Zhao family was a figure who could cover the sky with one hand!
Chu Yuanshan wiped away his tears and said, "Zifeng, the things that happened back then were all Grandfather's fault. If it wasn't for Grandfather's negligence, you wouldn't have suffered for eighteen years outside. You can blame Grandfather, but your parents have also been heartbroken about this for eighteen years. Can't you just forgive them?"
His own grandson, from losing to regaining, Chu Yuan Shan couldn't help but think that Chu Zi Feng still remembered the events of that year in his heart. Regardless of who was at fault back then, as a grandfather, he naturally took it upon himself to shoulder the responsibility.
However, Zhao Shumin said: "Old dear, how can we blame you for everything? My wife and I are also responsible."
Yang Zhenxian said: "That's right, if it wasn't for us back then..."
"Grandpa, uncle, auntie, past things have already passed. Since we can now gather together as a family, let's not talk about unhappy things!"
"Haha, okay, good kid!" Zhao Shumin laughed and said, with a grandson like this, what's there to worry about?
"Dad, isn't it time to bring out mom's spirit tablet?" Chu Tianxiong asked.
Chu Yuan nodded, his wife had passed away thirty years ago, and he hadn't found another one in all these years. He was devoted to building his business empire and cultivating a successor! Chu Tianxiong was once reckless, but now he has matured and become sophisticated. Next, it should be Chu Tianxiong's turn to cultivate Chu Zifeng as the third-generation heir of the Chu family. And this is exactly what Zhao JinHong is worried about, because he doesn't want his son to get involved in the power struggle within the Chu family.
"Zi Feng, this is your grandma Kang Qing. Although she didn't get to see you born, if she can see us reunited as a family from up there, she would definitely be happy."
Chu Yuanshan took over the spirit tablet and placed it on a table next to the living room. Now, it was also the time for Chu Zifeng to officially recognize his ancestors and return to his roots.
Chu Zi Feng knelt before the memorial tablet, knocked his head three times and said softly: "Grandma, although I didn't get to see you, you must be proud of your grandson."
After getting up, Zhao Shumin said: "Alright, since Zi Feng has now recognized his ancestors and returned to the clan, let's have dinner first. I have a few bottles of fine wine that have been stored for fifty years here. Let's not get drunk and return home today."
"Alright, as Father said, drink however you like, in these eighteen years I haven't had a good drink yet!"
The whole family sat together, Chu Zi Feng naturally sat between his grandfather and great-grandfather, but the three little girls didn't understand the rules and started eating with their hands.
"Xiao Ting, Xiang Xiang, Xiao Yi, be polite, all of you three." Yang Zhenxian said sternly.
Three little girls pouted, and Guo Xiangxang asked: "Big brother, have you forgotten something?"
Chu Zi suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh dear, look at my memory, there's still someone outside."
Chu Zi Feng only then remembered that Murong Zhen Zhu was still in the courtyard, she had been acknowledging her ancestors and returning to her roots, previously it wasn't easy for her to come in, instead he had forgotten about her.
He immediately ran out and pulled Mu Rong Zhen Zhu in, saying: "Grandfather, uncle, aunt, this is my friend, Mu Rong Zhen Zhu."
Murong Zhenzhu was originally very unhappy that Chu Zi Feng had abandoned her outside and didn't care, but now seeing these people at the table, Murong Zhenzhu immediately smiled and said: "Grandfather Zhao, Grandmother Zhao, Grandfather Chu, Uncle Chu......hello."
Yang Zhenxian walked up to Murong Zhenzhu and asked, "I didn't expect that in just ten years, Zhenzhu has grown so big."
It's estimated that except for Chu Tianxiong, who had seen Murong Zhenzhu in Yanjing, everyone else here didn't know who Murong Zhenzhu was. Yet Yang Zhenxian recognized her at a glance.
But Murong Zhenzhu was not surprised that Yang Zhenxian, the first lady, would recognize her. She said, "Old Lady Zhao is famous for having a good memory, and today Zhenzhu finally got to experience it."
"Haha, good child, sit with grandma."
"Old lady, this child is..."
"This is Murong's family maid, Old Master, you won't have forgotten, will you?"
Zhao Shumin was startled and said, "Mu Rongbo's daughter? I didn't expect her to grow up so big. Haha, not bad, not bad... But, Zhenzhu, what is your relationship with Zi Feng? Shouldn't you tell Grandpa Zhao about it?"
"Grandfather, don't misunderstand, Zhenzhu is just a friend I met after arriving in Yanjing, it's an ordinary relationship."
"Ordinary friends? How can that be, once you've entered the Zhao family's door, don't think about leaving. I'll make a call to your grandfather, from now on you're..."
"Father-in-law, Zi Feng's woman is not just one, there are two more in Yanjing." Chu Tianxiong said softly beside him.
"Ah! And there are two more, those are..."
Zhao Jin Hong said: "It's the maid of the Huang and Zi families."
As soon as he heard that his grandson had won over the maids of the Murong, Huang and Zi families, Zhao Shumin burst out laughing, but at this moment, he wouldn't say anything explicitly, otherwise others would say he was being unbecoming of an old man.
"It's nothing, kids these days are all like this, it's normal, normal. Let's just eat, let's eat."
Murong Zhenzhu was still sitting with so many big shots for the first time, and she was naturally a little nervous, not even daring to move.
It's actually You Ran and her three sisters who are bold and dare to say anything.
"Uncle, since big brother has shared his stories over the years, won't you also share your story to help everyone's mood?"
"Then what story does the little one want to hear?"
Guo Xiangxiang put a large hairy crab on the table and immediately stood up, saying: "I want to hear about the turmoil in Huaxia."
Deng Yi responded, "Right, right, I also want to hear about the Huaxia incident. My mom and dad mentioned it to me a few years ago, but no matter how I asked them, they wouldn't tell me the rest of the story. Aunt's husband, you're the one involved in this, so please tell us yourself."
Deng Yi said: "Yes, yes, I heard from my dad that the Huaxia incident twenty years ago was very exciting."
"What nonsense."
Zhao Shumin's sudden rage made everyone stunned, and Zhao Jin Yan and the other two immediately stood up to pull their daughters away. The Huaxia incident twenty years ago was the most taboo topic for the Central Government, even more so than the Asian Storm forty years ago. After all, the events of forty years ago occurred in other countries, but twenty years ago, it happened in China.
"Dad, don't get angry, it's bad for your health." Zhao Jin Yan said.
"Look at how you're all educating your children, they don't learn the good things but know all the bad ones!"
Zhao Shumin now has no reservations at all, he is a soldier, good is good, bad is bad, the things Chu Tianxiong did back then, he never recognized.
"Let's just forget about it, Uncle. It's all in the past. Come on, let me toast you a glass."
Chu Yuanshan smoothed things over, and only then did Zhao Shumin's anger dissipate.
Zhao Jin Yan and the other two were sweating profusely, knowing that what happened twenty years ago was a taboo, how did the child find out? The three sisters' eyes naturally turned to their respective husbands, but their husbands pretended not to see, drinking wine with each other.
"Look at what kind of example you've set for your child!"
Chu Tianxiong smiled wryly and said: "In those years, wasn't I young? I didn't understand anything! Haha!"
"Zi Feng, Mom can tell you, you mustn't learn from your dad, stop doing those bad things!"
"Mom, what did Dad do back then? Why is Grandpa so angry?"
"This, this..."
Chu Tianxiong immediately said: "Nothing, a small matter, just a small matter!"
