Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 324

Chapter 324: Chapter 251: The Cheng Family Welcomes at the Airport

Beijing Military Airport, inside the departure lounge, two couples in their thirties, accompanied by several children, were waiting anxiously. As the time approached, they kept glancing at their watches. Since receiving the call from Cheng Family’s eldest, Cheng Sijin, the siblings had been planning to personally greet their elder cousin’s return.

The tall woman dressed in Lenin attire, whose features resembled Old Mrs. Cheng, was Cheng Ruzhu. She was sharing the hardships her parents faced while searching for the elder cousin. Once she finished telling her story, she felt a weight lift off her shoulders, and she exchanged a relieved smile with her second brother, Cheng Siyu.

Cheng Family’s second daughter-in-law, Li Xiulan, was smiling joyfully, secretly delighted in her heart. Every year, there were some days in the Cheng Family, especially after her mother-in-law returned from Qingming Festival worship, when the whole family’s atmosphere became melancholy. She sensed there was a story within. She hadn’t expected that there was a missing child involved. Her parents-in-law had secretly been searching all along for this lost child. No wonder she always felt that the Cheng Family, especially her mother-in-law, showed special love towards children.

But now, it’s all good, they have finally found him. Recalling her husband’s excitement as he hugged her and spun around after receiving the phone call, she realized how important this person was to the Cheng Family.

Cheng Siyu said cheerfully to his sister with pride, "Little sister, from now on you have to call me Third Brother. Don’t purposely be mischievous and keep calling me Second Brother or Little Second Brother."

"Alright, I’ll call you Little Brother then, okay? Brother, how could Zhou Xiaozheng turn out to be our eldest brother? I always thought that the offspring of Aunt and Uncle would have to be a scholar. Oh my, thinking that I actually have a brother who happens to be Zhou Xiaozheng. Hehe..."

Cheng Ruzhu’s husband, Wen Congwen, looked at his wife with doting eyes, amused by her child-like mischief, and smiled slightly. Ever since receiving the news, his wife was so excited that she pulled him through the night, continuously recounting the stories of the other party. Even now, the illusion of her murmuring remained in his ears.

He really admired his father-in-law and mother-in-law for their integrity. Decades had passed, yet they kept searching covertly, finding someone based on just a hint. They even disregarded their frail health and traveled to the Northeast just after being discharged from the hospital. Such emotional and righteous old couple, worthy of his lifelong respect.

As for Zhou Xiaozheng, he didn’t know him personally, only through his wife’s accounts. Accompanying her here was courteous; more so, it was out of curiosity to meet the only living descendant of Mr. Yu.

Every era has individuals who lead the pack. Mr. Yu, he was a tragic figure of his time. From the Daqing Dynasty to the Republic era, there were many accomplished scholars in strategy, review, classical poetry, lyrics, and even vast epics, but none could compare to Mr. Yu. It was especially regrettable that Mr. Yu, who emulated both Eastern and Western cultures and was proficient in various international literatures and languages.

This brilliant star dimmed in youth. Apart from a few anonymously circulated works, all his writings, paintings, and poetry were completely destroyed by the Eight-Nation Alliance. Undoubtedly, this remains a source of regret and sorrow for the literati.

With the sound of planes roaring overhead, the group quickly ran outside, eagerly waiting for the plane to land as Mr. Cheng and the others disembarked.

Spotting Zhou Xiaozheng among the crowd, Cheng Siyu and his siblings shouted loudly, "Welcome home, eldest brother."—The siblings rushed forward to embrace Zhou Xiaozheng, together with Cheng Family’s eldest, Cheng Sijin, and the four of them held each other tightly.

Old Mrs. Cheng, tears streaming down her face, stepped forward and lightly patted them. Mr. Cheng and the airport staff watched this scene, moved. Someone started clapping, and applause filled the scene.

Mr. Cheng quickly wiped his eyes with his hand, looked up with a broad smile, and shouted loudly, "Alright. Let’s discuss further at home without wasting any more time."
