After the funeral, relatives and friends left in twos and threes, leaving only the Zhang family standing quietly in front of the tombstone. Lao Zhang looked at the back of his son the fourth child, and his heart was mixed. He was in his sixties, and his hair had grown gray after all these years of hard work, but he never imagined that one day he would bid farewell to his father so sadly.
"Dad, you've made your way all the way. Lao Zhang whispered, tears flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, a familiar figure walked over.
"Fourth brother, you're still here. Uncle Wang Wu said softly, "I have been looking for you just now. "
The fourth child turned around and looked at the relative in front of him who had not seen him for many years, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Fifth uncle, when did you come back?" The fourth asked.
"Came back two days ago. Wang Wu sighed, "I heard that grandpa is gone, so I hurried back to attend the funeral." "
The fourth child nodded, and then turned his gaze back to his father's grave.
"Fourth brother, let me tell you something. Wang Wu hesitated for a moment and spoke carefully, "I recently planned to find a girl with the right family to marry, and I want to ask you for help when I come back." "
The fourth child was slightly stunned, and then shook his head.
"Fifth uncle, it's not convenient for me to help you now. Dad, the old man has just left, and we still have a lot of things to deal with at home. "
"I know, I know. Wang Wu hurriedly said, "But you have to believe that this time I am serious." I also want to discuss with you this time to see if I can bring you back as well. "
"Pull me back?" The fourth child was a little puzzled, "Where are you going?"
"Go back to our hometown!" Wang Wu's eyes lit up, "I recently built a new house there, and I just lack a male host." Or you go back with me, and I'll introduce my daughter to you, or you can find a good daughter-in-law. "
When the fourth child heard this, he couldn't help frowning.
"Fifth uncle, I have my own life and work here now, and I don't want to leave here. Besides, I don't have much of the heart to go on a blind date right now. "
"But fourth brother, you are here alone, won't you be too lonely?" Wang Wu said with some concern, "Look at your parents, they are all gone, you must have someone to accompany you." "
"I'm fine, Uncle Five. The fourth child shook his head, "I still have my wife and children, and they are all I have." "
"Wife and children?" Wang Wu was a little surprised, "When did you get married and have children? Why don't I know at all?"
Wang Wu was silent for a moment, then reached out and patted the fourth child's shoulder.
"That's good, that's good. "As long as you're happy." I won't force you to go back, you can take care of yourself here. By the way, do you want me to help you deal with grandpa's funeral?"
"No need, Fifth Uncle. The fourth shook his head and said, "I have already discussed these with my family, so you don't have to worry about it." "
"That's good, that's good. Wang Wu nodded, "Then I'll go back first, and tell me anything at any time." "
"Okay, Fifth Uncle, be careful on the road. The fourth elder waved his hand at Wang Wu.
Seeing Wang Wu leave, the fourth turned around and looked at his father's grave again. He sighed softly, his heart mixed with mixed feelings.
Over the years, he has been working hard outside and rarely comes home, but he never thought that his father would die first. He felt guilty and helpless.
"Dad, you must take care. The fourth child muttered to himself, "I will take good care of myself and my family." "
At this moment, Lao Zhang walked over and gently patted his son's shoulder.
"Si'er, you're here. Lao Zhang said, "It's time for us to go back, your mother is still waiting for us." "
The fourth nodded and followed his father in the direction of the park.
"Dad, I have something to tell you. The fourth child hesitated for a moment and spoke.
"What's the matter?" Lao Zhang turned his head and looked at his son.
"I'm planning to move our family's account back to my hometown recently. The fourth said, "I think our family needs a man now, so I want to go back and help." "
Lao Zhang was a little surprised, but then showed a relieved smile.
"That's great, Si'er. He said, "Your grandfather will be pleased, too." "
Back at home, Lao Zhang couldn't wait to tell his wife about his son's decision.
"Si'er said that he wanted to move our family's account back to his hometown, what do you think of this idea?" Lao Zhang said excitedly.
Lao Zhang's wife, Zhang, was a little surprised, but then showed a relieved smile.
"That's great!" Zhang said happily, "We are old, and we also need a backbone in our family." After Si'er came back, we could retire with peace of mind. "
Hearing his wife's words, Lao Zhang couldn't help laughing. The couple had worked too hard over the years, and now they could finally rest.
"By the way, do you two discuss when you will go back?" Zhang asked again.
Si'er said that he had recently started to arrange this matter. Lao Zhang said, "I think he has made up his mind." "
"That's good, that's good. Zhang nodded, "We should also prepare well." "
At this moment, the fourth child walked in from outside.
"I've already talked to Uncle Five, and he agreed to let me go back to my hometown to help. The fourth said, "I want to arrange the affairs of the account room as soon as possible, and then go back with the fifth uncle." "
"Great, Si'er!" Zhang said happily, "After you return to your hometown, we can have a good rest." "
"That's right, Si'er. Lao Zhang suddenly thought of something, "You said that the fifth uncle asked you to go back to be a son-in-law, didn't you?"
The fourth nodded.
"Yes, Dad. The fifth uncle said that he had recently built a new house, and there was a shortage of a male owner. So he wanted me to go back and help, and said he would introduce me to a good daughter-in-law. "
"Haha, that's great!" Lao Zhang smiled and patted his son's shoulder, "You have to behave well when you go back this time, don't let the fifth uncle down." "
"I will, Dad. The fourth child couldn't help laughing, "I will take good care of the fifth uncle's family." "
Seeing that their son was so happy, Lao Zhang and Zhang also let go of their worries. They know that since the fourth child left his hometown, he has been living alone outside, and it is inevitable that he will feel lonely. Now that he is finally willing to return, it is undoubtedly a great joy for them.
"And when are you leaving?" Zhang asked.
"I want to leave in a few days. The fourth said, "I have to take care of everything here first, and then go back with the fifth uncle." "
"Good, good. Lao Zhang nodded, "You arrange it slowly, and our side will be ready." "
"Then it's decided. The fourth child said, and turned to his parents again, "Dad, Mom, I will take good care of myself." You also have to take care, if there is anything you need my help with, just say it. "
"Don't worry, Si'er. Zhang said gently, "Go and do your business, we are here waiting for you to come back." "
Seeing the fourth child leave, Lao Zhang and Zhang looked at each other and smiled.
"It seems that the fifth uncle's visit this time has brought good things to our family. Lao Zhang said.
"yes. Zhang nodded, "Si'er can go back to help, and we can finally rest." "
"I'm still a little worried, though. Lao Zhang frowned, "Will there be any trouble over there for the fifth uncle?"
"Don't worry. Zhang comforted, "The fifth uncle said so, he must be sincere." Besides, Si'er is not a fool, he will definitely handle it. "
"You're right. Lao Zhang nodded, "As long as Si'er can go back and live a good life, we will rest assured." "
"That's right. Zhang smiled and said, "Let's wait for Si'er to come back, and celebrate when the time comes." "
Lao Zhang couldn't help laughing. Over the years, the couple has been busy with work and rarely has had the opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest. Now that they have such a happy event, they can finally let go of their worries and enjoy their old age.
At this moment, the fourth child walked back again.
"Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you. The fourth said.
"What's the matter, Si'er?" Lao Zhang asked.
"I want my wife and children to go back to my hometown as well. "I think they should also live a new life with me." "
Hearing this, Lao Zhang and Zhang were a little surprised.
"Your wife and children?" Zhang asked, "Where are they now?"
"Outside. The fourth child said, "I just told them, and they are also very happy to go back to their hometown." "
"That's great!" Lao Zhang said happily, "Our family can finally be reunited." "
"yes. The fourth nodded, "I want them to adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, so I let them go back together." "
"Great, great!" "I can't wait to meet my grandson." "
Seeing the joy of his parents, the fourth child couldn't help laughing. He knew that this time he returned to his hometown, not only for himself, but also for the reunion of the whole family.
"Then let's arrange it as soon as possible. Lao Zhang said, "Our family is finally going to start a new life." "
"yes, Dad. The fourth nodded, "If we work together, we will definitely be able to live a happy life." "
A few days later, the fourth child returned to his hometown with his wife and children. Wang Wu was already waiting at home, and when he saw their family arrive, he was overjoyed.
"Fourth brother, you're finally here!" Wang Wu stepped forward and hugged the fourth child warmly, "I can't wait to see my nephew." "
"Fifth uncle, this is my wife Li Fang, and my son Xiaosi. The fourth said with a smile.
"Hello, Fifth Uncle. Li Fang greeted Wang Wu politely.
"Alright, alright, let's take a look at your new home. Wang Wu said happily, "I'm here for you." "
With that, Wang Wu walked into the new house with the family. It is a small two-storey building, which is very elegantly decorated, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.
"Fourth brother, this is your new home. Wang Wu said proudly, "I have put a lot of effort into decorating." "
"It's so beautiful, Fifth Uncle. Li Fang exclaimed, "Our family finally has our own house, thank you so much." "
"Where, where. Wang Wu hurriedly waved his hand, "This is what I should do." You can live here with confidence. "
"Fifth Uncle, we really appreciate your care. The fourth said, "We will definitely take good care of this family." "
"That would be great. Wang Wu smiled and said, "By the way, you guys rest here first, and I'll go and prepare something to eat for you." "
After speaking, Wang Wu walked quickly into the kitchen.
Looking at Wang Wu's back, the fourth couldn't help but feel emotional. He has been working hard outside all these years and rarely comes home, but he never thought that his uncle would attach so much importance to him.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Li Fang asked with concern.
"Nothing, dear. The fourth child gently hugged his wife, "I just think I'm so lucky to have such a good family." "
"yes. Li Fang nodded, "My family is finally reunited, and I am also very happy." "
At this moment, Wang Wu walked out with a plate of steaming dishes.
"Alright, come and try my handiwork. Wang Wu said with a smile.
The family sat around the dining table, laughing and laughing. The fourth child looked at the scene in front of him, and the joy in his heart was indescribable.
"Fourth brother, you have to take good care of your wife and children. Wang Wu said, "I don't want my nephew to have too hard life. "
"Fifth uncle, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of them. The fourth said solemnly.
"That's good, that's good. Wang Wu nodded, "By the way, don't just eat the food I cooked, you will also take turns to cook it in the future." "
"Okay, Fifth Uncle. Li Fang smiled and said, "We will definitely divide the labor well." "
After a meal, the fourth family felt the warmth of home. They knew that from now on, this would be their new home.
In the following days, Lao Si and Li Fang quickly adapted to their new life. The fourth child is responsible for handling the family's accounting affairs, while Li Fang is responsible for taking care of the children and doing housework. Wang Wu also often came to help, and the three of them cooperated very tacitly.
Sometimes, the fourth child will secretly observe his wife and children, and he can't help but feel a lot of emotion. He never imagined that he would one day have such a happy family.
"Honey, what are you thinking?" One day, Li Fang sat down next to the fourth child and asked softly.
"Nothing, I just feel like we're really happy. The fourth said, "I am really grateful to be able to rebuild a warm family under the care of the fifth uncle." "
"yes. Li Fang nodded, "I feel it too." It was a little uncomfortable at first, but now we're fully integrated. "
"That's right, dear. The fourth child suddenly thought of something, "Do you think that the fifth uncle is too good to us?"
"How?" Li Fang was a little puzzled.
"I think the fifth uncle seems to be a little too thoughtful in taking care of us. The fourth said, "Does he have any purpose?"
"Don't think about it, husband. Li Fang comforted, "Since the fifth uncle said so, he must be sincere." We should cherish this hard-won family happiness. "
"You're right. The fourth nodded, "I shouldn't be suspicious." Since the fifth uncle trusts us so much, we should repay his kindness even more. "
"Yes, exactly. Li Fang said with a smile, "We have to get along well as a family, work together, and create a better future together." "
"Well, you're right. The fourth child couldn't help laughing, "Our family will definitely get happier and happier." "
At this moment, Wang Wu's voice came in from outside.
"Fourth brother, where are you? I have something I want to discuss with you!"
"Here, Fifth Uncle!" The fourth child answered, then took his wife's hand and walked out together.
Under the leadership of Wang Wu, the fourth family gradually integrated into the life of their hometown. Every day is busy and fulfilling, they work together, cook together, play together, as if they have regained the warm time of many years ago.
"Fourth brother, why don't you rest today?" One day, Wang Wu looked at the busy family and asked with concern.
"Fifth uncle, we are decorating your new house. The fourth smiled and said, "You spent a lot of money on decoration, we have to take care of it." "
"Haha, you're so kind!" Wang Wu smiled heartily, "This house was originally prepared for you, you just need to take your time." "
"Fifth Uncle, you are so good. Li Fang said gratefully, "If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't be able to have such a good life today." "
"Where, where. Wang Wu hurriedly waved his hand, "We are a family, and we should help each other." By the way, I heard you're planning to add another baby lately, which is great!"
"Yes, Fifth Uncle. The fourth nodded, "We're preparing for this." "
"That's great! When the baby is born, I must love him well. Wang Wu said excitedly.
"Fifth uncle, you are really a good person. Li Fang said sincerely, "Our family is really grateful to you. "
"Where, where. Wang Wu waved his hand, "You are my relatives, so I naturally have to take good care of you." By the way, by the way, I forgot to tell you something. "
"What's the matter, Fifth Uncle?" The fourth asked curiously.
"I recently bought a plot of land in the village and want to build a big house on it. Wang Wu said excitedly, "Look, do you want to help together?"
"Fifth Uncle, you are so generous. The fourth child said with some embarrassment, "But now that we have our own new home, we don't want to trouble you." "
"What's the trouble is not troublesome!" Wang Wu hurriedly interrupted him, "This is our family's business, of course you have to get involved." Besides, I need your help. "
"Okay then, Fifth Uncle. The fourth nodded, "Since you say so, then we will fully support it." "
"Great!" Wang Wu happily patted the fourth child on the shoulder, "You guys are busy decorating the new house first, and when everything is ready, we will start building the house together." "
"Okay, Fifth Uncle. Li Fang also smiled and said, "We will fully cooperate." "
In this way, the family threw themselves into a new project. In addition to being busy every day, they have not forgotten to enjoy life. Li Fang often takes the children to play in the yard, and the fourth child is responsible for taking care of the family's affairs. Wang Wu also often eats and chats with them, as if he has regained the family affection from many years ago.
In their busy days, Li Fang finally became pregnant with a child. The news left the whole family ecstatic.
"Great! I'm finally going to be a grandfather!" Wang Wu happily picked up Xiao Si and kissed him on the face.
"Fifth uncle, don't get too excited. The fourth smiled and said, "We still have to take good care of Li Fang." "
"Haha, I know, I know. Wang Wu hurriedly put down Xiao Si, "Your family must take good care, I will fully support you." "
Under Wang Wu's careful care, Li Fang's pregnancy was very smooth. Sometimes, Wang Wu would even cook for Li Fang and cook some nutritious meals for Li Fang.
"Li Fang, look at this, I specially prepared it for you. Wang Wu walked in with a bowl of chicken soup.
"Fifth Uncle, you are really good. Li Fang took the bowl gratefully, "I really don't know how to thank you." "
"Where, where. Wang Wu hurriedly waved his hand, "You are my relatives, of course I have to take good care of you." "
"Fifth Uncle, you are really good. Li Fang said sincerely, "Our family is really grateful to you. "
"Alright, alright. Wang Wu smiled and said, "Drink it quickly, don't let it get cold." "
Looking at Wang Wu's concerned appearance, Li Fang couldn't help but be moved to tears. She never thought that she would have such a good relative.
Just when Li Fang was about to give birth, Wang Wu began to get busy again. He not only helped the fourth child and Li Fang tidy up the new house, but also often went out to buy various baby products.
"Fifth uncle, what are you doing here?" One day, the fourth child asked curiously.
"Something for our little ones, of course!" Wang Wu said excitedly, "I don't want my nephew to have nothing. "
"Fifth Uncle, you are really good. The fourth child said gratefully, "Our family really owes you too much." "
"Where, where. Wang Wu waved his hand, "This is what I should do." By the way, have you figured out what to name your little one?"
"Name?" The fourth pondered for a moment, "We haven't thought about it yet. "
"Then think about it quickly!" Wang Wu urged, "I can't wait to see my little nephew." "
"Okay, Fifth Uncle. The fourth smiled and said, "We will decide as soon as possible." "
Under Wang Wu's careful care, Li Fang finally gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Looking at the little one in swaddling clothes, the whole family cried with joy.
"My little nephew, you are so cute!" Wang Wu hugged the baby excitedly, "You must grow up well in the future and become an outstanding person." "
"Fifth uncle, we decided to name him Xiao Ming. "I hope he can grow up healthy and happy under your care." "
"Xiao Ming, good name!" Wang Wu said happily, "In the future, you will be my little Mingming." "
