On the way to move, I also met some people who were fleeing with their families. They were hiding here and there for fear of encountering Japanese soldiers. Their misery was far worse than that of Chen Dabo and his family.
Although the Chen family hired a carriage, they did not dare to go to the town to rest. They could only hide in the wild. It was not until dark on the seventh day that the carriage arrived at Duanlonggang.
As soon as I walked into the house, the sound of cars and horses had already alerted my mother, sister, and brother. They ran out together, wondering why so many people suddenly came to the house.
'elder brother! ''Haizi! The family ran over and hugged Yu Chenglong tightly. Haizi's mother really didn't expect that Haizi would come back at this time and bring so many people with him.
"Mom, my son is married! This is my father-in-law, this is my mother-in-law, this is sister-in-law Fengying, and this is your daughter-in-law Fengying."
"Hello, brother, hello, sister-in-law! This kid, Jackie Chan, got married and didn't even tell me. It happened so suddenly to me. I didn't prepare anything, and I didn't even clean the house properly.
Brother-in-law, please bring your family into the house quickly. They are all covered in dirt. Erya, go get some water and let your sister-in-law and her family wash up first. Sanyang, please help your sister with her work. "
Haizi's mother enthusiastically let Chen Da shotgun and his family into the house. And Yu Chenglong, the owner of the car, and the driver moved the things they brought to the yard.
The people who had just entered the house came out again and started working together. After finishing unloading the things in the car, Haizi's mother asked the owner of the car to come into the house and said she would have a meal before leaving.
But these two people said they didn't want to eat anything. They said they were going back and were worried that their families would miss them. Yu Chenglong had no choice but to pay more fare and sent them away.
When Yu Chenglong saw that the yard was full of things, he went to the backyard to find hay, carefully laid the ground, and gathered all the moved things together with his father-in-law.
Haizi's mother led the women to cook, while Sanyang led the two children to play at the door. Although these two children have experienced bumps along the way, their sense of freshness remains unabated.
After Yu Chenglong finished his work, he led his father-in-law into the house to rest. He hadn't entered this house for almost three years. He looked around and saw nothing much had changed.
There seemed to be a lot of things in the house. Looking at the clothes of my mother, sister, and brother, I thought that my family might still be able to get by.
There are many people, so the meal is ready quickly. Haizi's mother placed two tables facing each other on the south kang, hoping that all these people would gather around to eat.
She said there were so many people and it was the first time the two families got together and they couldn't eat separately. Even in the future, they would have to stir the pot in the same pot. We are all a family, and we have to eat together.
After serving the food, Haizi's mother invited Jackie Chan's father-in-law and mother-in-law to the Kang, and she sat down next to them. Jackie Chan's wife and Jackie Chan's sister are right next to the edge of the Kang.
The two of them could only share half of their bodies and were responsible for serving rice and vegetables for everyone. With ten people gathered together, it was indeed a bit crowded, but it was really lively.
"Haizi, hurry up and pour some wine for your father and the others. We all need to drink some today. We are all tired after walking such a long way. Let's all drink some wine!"
Let me offer you a drink first. I don’t know how to drink, but I am happy today. My daughter-in-law is good and good-looking, and my daughter-in-law’s family is going through life. Let’s all take a sip. "
Haizi's mother looked really happy and took the first sip. Haizi's mother really couldn't drink. After drinking, it was so spicy that tears flowed out, but she still pretended to smile.
"Mom, I'd like to give you a toast too. I see that you are a good person and I am willing to be your daughter-in-law. My sister and brother are also nice and sensible. They get along well with me. Our whole family will take a sip."
Fengying spoke first and bowed deeply to Haizi's mother. Seeing this, Yu Chenglong agreed with his wife's approach, picked up the bowl and took a sip of wine.
"What kind of gift are you giving this child? The first time he changed his name to mom, I didn't give him anything. Grandma Haizi gave it to me when I got married, so I passed it on to you!"
As her mother spoke, she took out a red cloth bag from her arms, opened it, took out a gold bracelet and handed it to Fengying. It seemed that she had already prepared it, and this gift was not light.
"I can't take such an expensive thing. Mom should keep it for herself, or give it to Sanyang's wife when she gets married."
Seeing her daughter-in-law Fengying refuse, Haizi's mother would not allow it. She said that it was only natural for the older generation's belongings to be passed on to the boss. It was still early for Sanyang to get married, and she would make arrangements for him then.
"There's nothing you can't ask for. Just take it if you are asked to do so. It will be passed down from generation to generation. This is the rule of the elders."
"Take it, take what mom gave you! Come on, let me try it on my sister-in-law."
As her sister Erya spoke, she took the bracelet handed over by her mother, put it on her sister-in-law forcefully, and then raised her arm to show it to everyone.
The two families, no, it should be said to be one family, talked and laughed happily in a warm and courteous atmosphere, and the taste of happiness filled their hearts.
"Sister, you can see that my family won't leave once they come, which will cause trouble for you.
Originally, my family was used to living in the mountains for hunting, but Little Japan didn't allow us to live there anymore and forcibly kicked us out. I have no choice but to defect to you.
It can be seen that her mother-in-law's family are all good people. Fengying is lucky to be in such a good family. We, as fathers and mothers, are also happy for her. "
Yu Chenglong's father-in-law, Chen Daxingqiang, expressed his family's intention to come to Haizi's mother's house at this time, but Haizi's mother had actually seen it a long time ago, so she responded excitedly to her in-laws' words.
"This is nothing, we are all relatives. Isn't it true that my son is troublesome to you when he is here? I am repaying my kindness!"
"Your son is really lucky. He was almost beaten to death by the Japanese! These Japanese are so vicious. If I were young, I would have to fight with your son and the others!"
Father-in-law Chen Da shotgun was a little excited. He got angry whenever the Japanese were mentioned. His son was beaten to death by these beasts. He felt uncomfortable holding this hatred in his heart!
"Oh, these Japanese devils who have been stabbed a thousand times! Haizi, show me quickly. Are your wounds healed?"
Haizi's mother said that she was about to check on her son Yu Chenglong's recovery from his injury, but Fengying's natal nephew came up and interrupted in a cheerful manner.
"It's all healed a long time ago. My aunt used her body to heal her."
"Really? I have to thank my daughter-in-law for saving my son's life. Come on, let us have a sip. Mom, thank you very much!"
Haizi's mother seemed to be closer to her daughter-in-law, and her son hurriedly told his mother the whole process in detail.
"That's true. I broke my leg and was shot in the body. I got into a snowdrift and passed out. I lost consciousness, mainly because of the cold.
If my father-in-law and the others hadn't discovered me and carried me home, I would have frozen to death. Later, my father-in-law and his family tried their best to save me, and Fengying worked the hardest during this period.
Later, the Japanese came to search me, and my father-in-law’s eldest brother was beaten to death by the Japanese because of this incident. I owe my father-in-law’s family a great debt of gratitude! "
