Chapter 1244 Still alive



Chapter 1244 Still alive

After everything was done, Li smiled from ear to ear and said, "Today, our family has two great happy events to announce."

Everyone was stunned, "How can there be two?"

This is the only happy event.

Zhou Su smiled and said, "Mom, is it a great joy that Li Lai was admitted to Yunzhou College?"

Everyone looked at Li Lai. It seemed like it was also a happy event, but not that big of a deal, right?

Li smiled and said, "That's three happy events. Everyone knows the first one. Your sister-in-law gave birth to a big fat son. Our Zhou family's Xiaohua has a successor. The second one..."

When the words came to her lips, she was unable to say them. Before she could utter a word, she choked up and her eyes turned red.

"What's wrong?" everyone asked, but no one got her answer.

Even though Zhou Mai and the others were so perceptive, they couldn't guess what had happened.

Li Lai didn't understand what was going on. He looked left and right, then at the old man, but didn't dare to speak. In such a situation, it was better for him to keep silent.

Zhou Gu said, "Aunt, just tell me what's going on."

Li took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "Your uncle wrote to me today, saying... saying... saying that your father has been found."

The room fell into silence. These words shocked everyone so much that they couldn't come back to their senses. For a long while, there was no sound in the room.

Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe it.

The old man was filled with emotion. He didn't expect that the person who had been lost for so many years could be found. It was really a blessing. It was not easy to find Zhou Su back then. It was really the blessing of the ancestors in heaven.

Li Lai didn't dare to speak anymore.

After a long while, Zhou Su repeatedly asked, "Mom, is this true? Dad has really been found? Uncle has also been found? Are they still alive? Have they really been found?"

What my uncle found couldn’t be two corpses, right?

What he said at the beginning was that he wanted to see the person alive or the body dead.

Everyone stared at her nervously.

Li burst into laughter and said, "Of course they are alive. They have already met your uncle, who is now in the capital. He said he had sent a letter to Guoguo. I think they have already met."

Although she had lived a free and easy life for so many years, she was happy that the father of her children had returned.

She took out the tear-stained letter and said, "This is a letter from your uncle. Take a look."

The letter was placed in the middle of the table. Everyone leaned over to read it. They cried and laughed as they read it, with the smiles on their faces growing bigger and bigger.

When Zhou Dafu and Zhou Dacai were arrested, they were already adults. Even the youngest, Zhou Suli, had some vague impression of his father, not to mention Zhou Mi and Zhou Mai. For them, the fact that their father was still alive was a huge joy, enough to make them ecstatic.

Several people read the letter several times and walked around the room in surprise, as if nothing they could do was enough to express their joy and they didn't know what to do.

The old man said, "For two such happy events, we need to have a banquet. You should go and inform the old village head and his group. Who will go?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone said, "I'll go, I'll go!"

Everyone must go.

Li nodded, "Okay, but it's getting late, remember to bring more lanterns and be careful on the road."

"Yes!"

Everyone brought their own followers, holding a few lanterns, and pulled three carriages out of the backyard and drove away.

In a blink of an eye, only Li, Xu, Xiaohua, Zhou Xing and the old man were left in the room. Li Lai also followed Zhou Suli.

The old man turned his head and looked outside. It was dark, and there were some stars in the sky...

Li turned around happily and said to herself, "I have to buy some decent clothes for them both. I can't come back without even a good set of clothes."

Zhou Xing stood up and said, "Second Aunt, I'll go with you."

Leaving behind the old man, Mrs. Xu and the ignorant Xiaohua.

The old man asked Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, your grandpa is coming back, are you happy?"

Xiaohua nodded and said, "Everyone is happy, so I am happy too."

The old man sighed and rubbed her little head.

Wang Fugui was almost going to bed when he heard Zhou Suli knocking on the door, muttering something like his father was back.

He immediately stood up from the bed in shock and said quickly to his wife who was also awakened beside him: "Oh no, Zhou Dacai's spirit is back, the Zhou family is haunted, I'll go check it out, you stay asleep."

Zhou Guo and Zhou Dacang are not at home, so he has to go and check them out.

Her wife said, "That can't be possible. Didn't Wu Ya just give birth? She was fine when we went to see her today. How could she be haunted?"

Wang Fugui said as he was getting dressed: "That must be because the Zhou family has a new grandson. Maybe it's the two of them appearing. I'll go take a look. You go to sleep first."

After saying that, he walked out and went to the kitchen to bring his old pig-killing tool. This thing was covered in so much blood that ordinary ghosts didn't dare to get close to it.

When I opened the door, I saw Zhou Su's big white teeth in the light of the lantern, and then I saw his happy smiling face, "Uncle Fugui, my father is back."

Wang Fugui then realized that this might not be what he thought. He never saw the other person until he died. Even though he has returned in this way, the Zhou family must be happy.

It’s just strange that it’s so far away and it’s a new house. The two brothers have never been here before, so how did they find this place?

Seeing that he didn't respond, Zhou Su said happily, "Uncle Wang, my father and my uncle have been found, and they are still alive."

Wang Fugui was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. "Really? They are still alive?"

As he was about to go out, he said, "Come on, let's go to your house. My wife just came back from your house not long ago. How come I didn't hear your mother say that she came back at this time?"

He found it incredible that after so many years, these two people could actually be found back. But how did they find them here? It was magical.

Zhou Su smiled and said, "Uncle, they are not here. They haven't come back yet and are still in the capital. My uncle wrote to say that my father and uncle have been found. Hehe, we were so bored at home that we came out for a walk and ended up here.

Sorry to bother you so late, go back to sleep, and remember to come over to my house for a couple of drinks when my dad and his family come back."

After saying that, he left and went to the next house.

Wang Fugui was left there in a daze, and it turned out that he had not come back yet.

He returned to the house in amazement and found that everyone in the family had gotten up. They all yawned and asked, "What's wrong? What is Zhou Su yelling for outside?"

Wang Fugui told the truth.

The whole family was surprised that these two people were still alive? ?

That night, many people who were woken up by the Zhou brothers couldn't sleep.

I can’t believe that these two brothers are still alive after so many years. God is so good to the Zhou family.

They traveled all the way north from the village, and only two old people and one young child died, but in return they gained the Zhou family the current wealth.
