Chapter 217：

For a few days, Qin Lingling was worried about her father-in-law's idea of ​​selling the house, and was very concerned about the two courtyards in the imperial capital.

And Uncle Li also talked a lot about the courtyard house in the Imperial Capital. The house covers an area that is not so large, and it is definitely the center of the city center. That house is not something that can be bought for tens of thousands of dollars.

"I heard Zhengzi say, are you afraid this house is sold?"

Qin Lingling nodded, "Dad, we can't sell this house. Although we are here now, we have to go back and take a look at it someday. There is a house and a place to live. After all, it is an ancestral house. Just sell it."

Uncle Li smiled and nodded, "I thought about it the same way, and I don't have the idea of ​​selling it, don't worry!"

With Uncle Li's words, Qin Lingling was more relieved. After Uncle Li sent a letter to his old friend in the capital, the National Day also arrived.

National Day is a good day for the whole nation to celebrate. Everyone celebrates that under the hard leadership of the leaders, the country is now better than ever. Therefore, every year, many people take to the streets to celebrate.

Gu Zheng's unit had a holiday, and Qin Lingling's school had a holiday.

Therefore, the two took advantage of the holiday and took Uncle Li to go back to their hometown. It just so happened that the home was building a house in full swing, so I went back to help check the situation.

Since Gu Yao’s marriage, he said that he would build a new house, Gu Dashun and Li Dani have also been busy, and with the help of the captain’s family, Gu’s new house has been built while it is not busy with the farmers.

As for Qin Lingling’s house, they haven’t started to build it yet. They will not start until Gu’s work is done. The place for the house has been selected, and even the size of the house and how many floors have been planned. , This time I went back to deal with this aspect.

The Gu family couldn't be too busy. Naturally, Qin Lingling and Gu Zheng couldn't leave this matter to them. They came back this time to find a trustworthy person and let someone help supervise the work.

There are bricks, tiles and cement. Both Gu Guoqiang and Jiang Xiaoben have helped run through many places before, and they have already been set. As for the workers, people from their own villages are enough.

Don't look at people in the countryside who can only farm, but in fact they know more about everything.

You will starve to death if you only eat in the ground. This is not a busy farming time. The brigade commune always organizes some young people to do other tasks, build river dams, build roads, and even someone who has money to build new houses. They will all help. It has been a long time, whether it is a young man or an elderly middle-aged uncle, whoever has no troubles is embarrassed.

They chose an appropriate time to go back, and the things in the city were left to Gu Guoqiang and others.

Because it was the first time to go to the place where Gu Zheng lived, Uncle Li was still a little nervous. He said along the way that he should not bring more food and drink to go back, otherwise it would be too shabby. How could he say that his relative is also the first time to come.

Gu Zheng said, "It's okay, I have bought enough here, don't worry!"

Uncle Li was still worried, and finally went to the department store to choose something that he thought was handy and took it with him.

Gu Zheng didn't stop Uncle Li, after all, this was his intention.

On the way, Uncle Li was worried about the tempers of the Gu family's husband and wife, and he got to know Qin Lingling a thing or two.

Qin Lingling directly told Uncle Li some things about the Gu family before.

These things are hard to say for Gu Zheng as the adopted son of the Gu family, but it is much easier for her foreign daughter-in-law to say.

When Uncle Li heard about the former virtues of the Gu family and his wife, he would be silent for a while without speaking.

Qin Lingling looked at Gu Zheng and didn't know for a while whether she should tell Uncle Li this or not?

Fearing that Uncle Li would think too much, she smiled and said, "But that is what they did before. Now the family is pretty good, everyone has shortcomings."

Uncle Li just nodded when he heard it.

After a long while, he said: "Anyway, they raised the clank for me, and I am very grateful for raising him so much. Lingling is also right. People have shortcomings, then After all, it was not you who picked up your adoptive mother. They also had two children. It was almost normal for you. However, in those days, everyone was poor, and you were not hungry. If you were thirsty, it was considered good."

After Uncle Li finished speaking, he digested the remarks before accepting it.

I have to say that what Uncle Li said has some truth.

As far as Qin Lingling knew, the days were so difficult back then, but although Gu Dashun loved her son, he was considered good to Gu Zheng. In those days, poor people couldn’t take care of themselves, let alone a child he picked up. It's already pretty good if you don't leave people to fend for themselves.

Moreover, Gu Dashun married Li Dani when he came back because he wanted to have a woman to take care of the two children. However, he did not expect that Li Dani gave him a son. A comparison between a son and an adopted son would make anyone choose a son.

In general, Gu Dashun and Li Dani are just ordinary people. If Gu Dashun treats Gu Guoqiang and Gu Chunhua badly for the sake of Gu Zheng and Gu Yao, from another angle, he is not a good person. Even his own son can do this, how cruel?

Along the way, Uncle Li still inquired a lot about Gu's family.

Gu Zheng didn't like to talk about the Gu family's affairs very much, because in his memory, there was not much to say. Those bad things have passed away, and now they have done it themselves.

In fact, Qin Lingling has not been married to Gu Zheng for a long time. The Gu family members who have learned about it also learned from books. After so many years, what Gu family members did in the books is nothing more than a story.

As for the current Gu Dashun and Li Dani, Qin Lingling said something. Generally speaking, these two people have changed quite well under the influence of her arrival and the influence of the people around them.

In order to take care of Uncle Li's body, when they arrived in Xiaogu Village, it was already dark.

Now that the farming is over, there are fewer busy things in the fields, so Li Dani is at home early in the morning, and sometimes goes to the location of the newly built house to help send some water, get something, and do a little favor.

The new house is not far from the old house. Before the three of them arrived, Li Dani saw people.

Just as Gu Dashun was right in front of her, she hurriedly called to Gu Dashun, "Dashun, Dashun, look, is that Shanzi and the others?"

Gu Dashun put his hand in front of his forehead, squinted attentively, and finally nodded and said, "It's really them."

"Three people, one more."

Gu Dashun took a closer look again, then shook his head, "I haven't seen it. Don't you know?"

Li Dani replied: "You don't even know, where do I know? Do you know who came back with your son?"

Where did Gu Dashun know it, and said to Li Dani: "Go and see it."

As soon as Gu Dashun finished speaking, Li Dani hurried forward.

Before they got home, the three of them saw the Gu family and his wife walking towards them from a distance.

"Shanzi, Lingling, why are you back?" Li Dani asked, smiling happily.

Gu Dashun also asked, "Is there something going on? How can I be notified when I come back?"

Gu Zheng replied: "It was also decided temporarily."

"Oh." Gu Dashun said, and hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand, intending to take what was in Gu Zheng's hand.

Gu Zheng replied, "No, it's not heavy."

Li Dani took her own man's hand and asked Gu Zheng in a low voice, "Shanzi, who is this man?"

"Go back and talk about it!"

"Eh, good."

Li Dani walked ahead and quickly led the three of them.

Gu Dashun was behind, shoulder to shoulder with Gu Zheng, and talked about the family's recent affairs.

Gu Zheng occasionally answered one sentence, and Qin Lingling answered again. The atmosphere was not embarrassing.

"Come on, come in and sit down!" Li Dani hurriedly greeted people in, taking the cup to pour tea, and the stool to the stool, busy.

She poured the tea and handed it to Uncle Li, "Come on, big brother, drink some water!"

In Li Dani's eyes, Uncle Li looks a bit bigger than Gu Dashun in this way, so it should be fine to call Big Brother.

Uncle Li took it with a smile, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, let's have a drink, you will be tired if you come along this way!"

Uncle Li responded again, "It's okay, it's okay."

This Gu Dashun couldn't bear his curiosity, and asked in a low voice beside Gu Zheng, "Shanzi, who is this?"

Gu Zheng directly responded, "This is my biological father."

Hearing this, the corners of Gu Dashun's smiling mouth suddenly stiffened, and his eyes were dull.

Obviously, Gu Dashun couldn't accept this answer at once, it was too sudden.

He thought Gu Zheng was talking and laughing, "This...this is really...your biological father?"

Gu Dashun knew that Gu Zheng was not a liar, and he didn't need to lie to them.

When I remembered that when he was at home before, Gu Zheng took away the pendant, and he quickly asked, "Could it be that the pendant was looking for it?"

Gu Zheng nodded, "Well, it's the pendant."

"But... But..." But how do you find this?

Gu Dashun was also dumbfounded.

You must know that Gu Zheng has been raising him for almost 30 years. In these 30 years, even if I met Gu Zheng when he abandoned him, how can he recognize such a small child compared to the present after so many years? come out.

"Blam me, blame me." At this time, it was Uncle Li's turn to speak.

After the Gu family heard what Uncle Li said, their faces were shocked or shocked.

They never thought that so many things happened to Uncle Li, and Gu Zheng was not abandoned by his parents. As for how he was lost, nobody knew.

Thinking of this, the look in Gu Dashun's eyes at the moment when he was watching Gu Zheng changed.

Thinking that this child is also pitiful, his biological mother left early, and his father never saw him. Zhao E finally gave him a good time for several years, but he still left.

As for his adoptive father...

Gu Dashun thought about his mistakes over the years, but he didn't know what to say for a while?

However, Gu Zheng was able to find his biological father, and Gu Dashun was also happy for Gu Zheng, "That's fine now, at least it's good to get the person back."

Li Dani also said to the side: "Yes, this is good, come here, drink some tea, and cook later."

As a master cook at home, Qin Lingling took over the job of cooking. Li Dani took over. Outside the house, three men were talking, chatting about various things, talking about the situation in the house before Uncle Li, and also about Gu Zheng. The anger when he was a soldier, and the current situation of Gu's family.

Li Dani was very curious. In the kitchen, she asked Qin Lingling, "Is this really Gu Zheng's father?"

"That can be wrong? You look at this nose and this eye, do you look like it?"

Li Dani carefully stretched her head to look outside, and when she came back, she nodded to Qin Lingling, "It really looks like it. This nose looks like it looks like."

Although Uncle Li looks older at this age, and he is a bit older than Gu Dashun, but when you think about it when you are young, it must look good, and it is more similar to Gu Zheng's eyebrows and eyes.

Li Dani exclaimed, "It's been so many years, and it's surprising that you can find it."

"Isn't it strange, who can tell about this?" Qin Lingling replied: "But this is also good. Gu Zheng has found his biological father, and his heart disease has also fallen."

"Too."

Although this matter is a bit abrupt to the Gu family couple, in general, the couple are also happy for Gu Zheng. After all, they have been secretly told that they have no father or mother for many years. After all, these adoptive parents are adoptive parents. It can’t be compared. Now it’s different. If you find your biological parents, you won’t be told about it anymore.

But when he lay down to rest, Gu Dashun was still empty.

How can I say this is a son raised by myself. Suddenly I found his biological father and felt that the child was no longer his own. Although Gu Zheng was not his own, he was also Gu Zheng’s only dad, so he called him Dad. .

Gu Dashun sighed for a long time, feeling a little unspeakable.

Li Dani on the side heard the voice and quickly touched him with her hand, "What's wrong? I sighed wildly all night."

"It's okay." Gu Dashun rolled over, but still didn't feel sleepy.

"Thinking about Shanzi's father, right?" Li Dani asked.

Gu Dashun was taken aback, then turned to look at her.

Before he spoke, Li Dani snorted at him, "I have been with you for so many years, if I don't understand you, I am afraid that I am blind."

Gu Dashun nodded, then sighed: "Shanzi found his father back, I should be happy..."

"But think about it, after all, you have raised a son for almost 30 years, and suddenly called someone else's father, you feel uncomfortable?" Li Dani responded without waiting for Gu Dashun to finish.

Gu Dashun nodded, "This is a bit sudden, and I don't know what to think about it for a while?"

Li Dani wrapped the quilt and said, "What can you think, isn't this great? You used to say that Shanzi's parents don't want him, which is very pitiful. Now that someone has found your relatives, you should be happy." , Li Dani thought again, "Don't you think, Shanzi has found his relatives, and he doesn't respect your foster dad, right?"

Gu Dashun heard the sound and quickly said, "What are you talking about, I don't think that's the case."

"Anyway, no matter what you are thinking about, it is a good thing for people to find their relatives. The two of us can't be Shanzi and the rest of them. It is enough to give us two catties of meat during the holidays. Yes, it’s not bad if he doesn’t completely deny us like he did in his early years."

Li Dani can think clearly now, anyway, Gu Zheng is not her biological son, so she can't give her the end of the old age. Anyway, she still has Guoqiang Chunhua.

It's fine now, just walk around like relatives.

Gu Dashun nodded, thinking that the same is true, "All right, then go to sleep!"

"Yeah. It makes you think all day."

When Gu Dashun and the others got up the next day, Uncle Li and the others got up too, helping Gu Zheng to pour water into the tank outside.

Gu Zheng hurriedly persuaded, "Dad, no need, I can do it all by myself."

"It's okay, it's okay, idle is idle, it's not that I haven't done these jobs."

When Qin Lingling came out, she persuaded Gu Zheng, "If Dad wants to be busy, let him be busy. It's not a hard job. Being busy is good for your health. But Dad, you can't be strong when you work hard."

Uncle Li responded with a smile, "Okay, I will pay attention."

Gu Dashun came out of the house just to see their family of three talking. When they came out, they felt a little out of place. They listened to Gu Zheng and Qin Lingling calling Uncle Li and Dad.

He also knew that he shouldn't be stingy. After all, Gu Zheng and Uncle Li hadn't seen each other for nearly 30 years. Gu Zheng had been his son for so long, and he called Uncle Li a few times as his father. There was nothing jealous of him.

Li Dani saw that he was standing still, and came over and shouted, "Look, let's cook some breakfast on the fire. I'll be busy again later."

They plan to catch up with the project as much as possible. By the time of the Chinese New Year, the house will be ready. When the children come back, there will be a new house to live in.

They also reserved rooms for Gu Zheng and the others, although they also knew that Gu Zheng and his wife had another idea, to build a house on their own homestead, but this was the last thing Gu Dashun left for the children.

After getting fresh water in the water tank, Qin Lingling also started cooking here, but it was too long since she had not cooked. The pots and pans at home are not clean, and they have to be cleaned. When Gu Dashun’s breakfast was ready, they were just getting ready to start a fire.

Li Dani came and told them to go over for breakfast.

"Your dad and I have cooked the porridge. We eat the porridge and mixed with pickles in the morning. There are usually two people at home, so your dad and I have no food." Li Dani said to the three of them.

When Qin Lingling saw this, she didn't insist on cooking anymore. She cooked the porridge next door and wasted it if she couldn't finish it. It might as well just eat it.

After breakfast, the Gu family went to the new house to be busy.

Gu Zheng planned to take Uncle Li around and around, and by the way, he shared the gifts he brought back with a few uncles. Of course, it was also to introduce his pro-dad.

Qin Lingling chose to go shopping.

Today happened to be the market day, and many people took advantage of it to go to the market.

Qin Lingling made an appointment with her sister-in-law in the village and rode her bicycle to the town.

After buying pork, fish, and some daily necessities, Qin Lingling went home.

It was noon when I got home, and Qin Lingling started cooking now.

Gu Zheng took Uncle Li and went around. The uncles had also seen Gu Zheng's father. This time they were chatting at the second uncle's house.

After Qin Lingling cooked the food, they came back.

Seeing the happy faces of the father and son and carrying a lot of vegetables in their hands, Qin Lingling smiled and asked, "Where have you been, so happy?"

"I went to Er Bogong's house. Here are some dishes from his house."

"Oh, OK."

With that said, Qin Lingling asked Uncle Li to absorb, and then asked Gu Zheng to call the Gu family husband and wife, "Let your father and them come back for dinner!"

In order to distinguish between the two fathers, Qin Lingling suggested to Gu Zheng to divide his father into Gu Dad and Li Dad.

Gu Zheng nodded, "Okay."

When Gu Dashun and Li Dani came back, their faces were sweaty and dusty, showing that it was not easy to build a house. The couple should help, save some labor, and speed up the progress. Every day is messy.

While eating, Gu Dashun raised his head to look at Gu Zheng, "Since you have found your father now, your surname...do you want to change it?"

When Gu Dashun said this, the others were stunned.

This is something that Gu Zheng has never considered.

Even Qin Lingling didn't expect Gu Dashun to ask that.

But it’s not surprising to think about it. Gu Zheng now has a biological father, and he doesn’t have a surname. It is common to change his surname.

But Uncle Li heard this and said, "It shouldn’t be so troublesome to change the surname. The child was raised here, without you, and without him today. Besides, it’s nice to call Gu Zheng, but it’s better to call it Li Zheng. Weird, this name is good."

Even if Gu Dashun didn't treat Gu Zheng as his own son, he knew that the child had been raising most of the hardship since the baby, and Gu Zheng's name didn't need to be changed because of his arrival.

For Uncle Li, the surname is not important, but the health and happiness of the child is the most important thing. Besides, this kind of nurturing can't be wiped out just because the other party has done something wrong. To tell the truth, his biological father is even less worthy to change the name of the child.

In general, Uncle Li is very satisfied with the current state. He found his son, and the wish of his life is over. It is enough to stabilize the current life.

Uncle Li said so, and Gu Zheng also responded: "The name is not important. Now the relatives and friends around me all know my name, it is unnecessary to change it, just this name!"

Seeing that both father and son said so, Gu Dashun had no objection, "Well...that's OK, then it's OK if you don't change your name."

Regarding the name change, Qin Lingling doesn’t matter. No matter what Gu Zheng’s name is, it’s her husband. As for Uncle Li and Gu Dashun, they have also expressed their thoughts. Since Gu Zheng doesn’t want to change their name, they don’t. Renamed.

But when the couple are alone, Qin Lingling will still ask Gu Zheng, "Are you sure you really don't change the last name back?"

Gu Zheng paused suddenly and looked at her: "Do you want me to change my surname?"

"No, I'm just wondering if you want to change it. In fact, no one said you if you change it."

Qin Lingling knows that in this era, many people still attach great importance to inheritance and inheritance, and don't be keen on surnames, as if they don't change their surnames.

She still remembers a classmate when she was a child. Because of this incident, the family had been in trouble for a while. In the end, she changed her surname to that of her biological father. It seemed that she was the daughter of her biological father.

As for Gu Zheng and Uncle Li, she is not the roundworm in their stomach after all, and it is impossible for Qin Lingling to know everything in her heart.
