Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 319 Reunion

   Someone in the team shouted in a foreign language, the man replied in the same language, and the person who shouted smiled and waved his hand and left with the team.

   Most of the people watching the lively chased the team of foreigners, and some people looked curiously at the man walking by.

  The man is tall and has long legs and a straight body. Even if he can see that he is not a young man, he has to admit that he is a beautiful man.

   "It's really similar to our Dazhou people." Someone in the crowd sighed.

  The man looked surprised and took a photo of Lin Shi, who looked like a clay sculpture: "Wanqing, is it really you?"

   Lin Shi woke up like a dream, grabbed the man's wrist and cried, "Brother, I thought you had an accident!"

  The man is Cheng Shu's father Cheng Zhiyuan, Lin's righteous brother. When Cheng Shu was three years old, he went out for a long trip. At first, he came back every few years, but in the past four or five years, let alone people coming back, there was not even a letter.

   Lin was secretly worried that his adopted brother had an accident, and the old lady was secretly worried that his adopted son had an accident, and each quietly sent someone to look for some of the places mentioned in his letter, but no one dared to clarify the discussion. It seems that as long as you don't say it, that enthusiastic and free person will come back one day.

  Brother is really back!

  Lin's tears are flowing.

   "Wanqing, don't cry, I'm fine, I'm fine."

   "How's it going?" Lin repeated.

  Cheng Zhiyuan let out a white tooth and patted his chest: "It's very good!"

   Lin's expression suddenly became hideous, and he touched his waist with his hand.

   Cheng Zhiyuan ran away as soon as he saw her action.

   After the Chinese New Year, Wanqing even moved the whip whenever she disagreed.

  Shi Lin naturally felt the air and chased after him: "It's very good? Don't run if you have the ability!"

  Leave Lin Hao stunned and endure countless curious gazes.

   Did the touching scene of the sibling reunion just disappear too quickly?

   The general's mansion was full of hustle and bustle, but it was a hustle and bustle of joy.

   Lin chased after him all the way, panting and sneering: "I thought eldest brother didn't even recognize his family."

   The old lady's eyes were red, and she scolded her daughter: "How old you are, your temper will come as soon as you say it."

   "Mother, didn't you hear that, the elder brother said that he has been doing well for the past few years, especially good!" Lin shivered.

  The old lady showed a kind smile to Yoshiko: "Zhiyuan has had a very good life in the past few years, so I can rest assured."

   Cheng Zhiyuan's eyes twitched.

   If his adoptive mother didn't touch the crutches, he would believe it.

   The person who knows the current affairs is Junjie, Cheng Zhiyuan threw himself down on his knees: "You are worried about the unfilial son. I haven't slept peacefully in the past few years. I think about you and my adoptive father day and night!"

   "Since that's the case, why didn't anyone come back and didn't come back with a single word?" The old lady's voice sounded mild, and she tried her best to resist the urge to use a cane to swipe her righteousness.

  Cheng Zhiyuan said ashamed: "The child went to sea, and it was really inconvenient to communicate across the ocean. He also asked someone to help deliver the letter, but he never saw the person returning. If the adoptive mother didn't receive the letter, maybe something happened to the person..."

  It is true that doing business at sea can bring huge profits, but it is also risky. Let’s not talk about man-made disasters, even the power of the sea does not know how many people are buried under the sea.

   Great benefits always come with great risks.

  The old lady sighed after hearing Yoshiko talk about the overseas affairs: "It's good that people are safe."

   "Isn't foster father at home?"

   As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent.

  Cheng Zhiyuan looked at the old lady, and then at Lin.

   Lin Shi, who had just been ferocious, had red eyes and looked like he was about to cry.

  Cheng Zhiyuan's heart sank, and his voice trembled: "Where's the foster father?"

  The old lady lowered her eyes and suppressed the surging water light, and said calmly, "Your adoptive father has passed away."

   "Death?" Cheng Zhiyuan looked in disbelief, and unknowingly shed tears, "How could... how could it be?"

  The old lady looked more and more calm, and comforted her adopted son with a warm voice: "No one can avoid birth, old age, sickness and death. Your adoptive father died of illness, and he was in his late sixties when he passed away, so it is not a short life."

   "The baby didn't die for the foster father!" Cheng Zhiyuan banged his head and cried while kowtowing.

   Lin moved his lips to persuade, but was stopped by the old lady shaking her head.

  Some emotions, it is better to vent them.

   Let Cheng Zhiyuan cry bitterly, and then the old lady said, "Get up, if your adoptive father knows you look like this, he will beat you."

   "If only my adoptive father could beat me." Cheng Zhiyuan's tears fell again.

   In his memory, his adoptive father beat him twice.一次是他拖着不想娶妻，被义父揍了，骂他不孝，对不住把他托付给义父的亲爹。 Once again, when he decided to travel far away, his adoptive father beat him and scolded him for being cruel to Shuer.

   beat him, but let him go.

  Cheng Zhiyuan covered his face with his hands and cried silently.

   There was movement at the door, and the maid's voice rang: "Young master is back."

   Cheng Zhiyuan's cry stopped for a while, and he froze in place and did not move.

   Of course he knew who the "Young Master" the maid was talking about.

  This man who has traveled across the ocean, his eyes were so shallow that he couldn't hide his tears when he returned home, and he didn't have the courage to look back at his son.

   Shu'er must have resented him.

  Cheng Shu fixedly looked at the back of the man kneeling on the ground for a moment, then looked suspiciously at the old lady.

  The grandmother sent a letter saying that his father was back and told him to go home quickly. This kneeling person...is that his father?

  Why didn't his father turn back when he heard that he was back?

  Cheng Shu recalled the changes in his mood when he ran all the way home, from shock at the beginning to excitement, to a little resentment, and then to now at a loss.

   His father raised a bunch of children outside, so he felt ashamed to see him?

   With this guess, Cheng Shu's face tightened.

  The old lady couldn't see it, and coughed: "Zhiyuan, Shuer is back, don't patronize and cry."

  Cheng Zhiyuan slowly turned around.

   Before turning around, his mood was ups and downs, but when he saw the young man who looked like him, he couldn't help but stand up, walked a few steps to Cheng Shu and grabbed his hand.

   "Shu'er!" Cheng Zhiyuan shouted.

  Cheng Shu has a cheerful and generous temperament. Seeing his father, whose forehead was red and swollen with tears and tears, the anger in his heart subsided without realizing it.

   "Hey." Cheng Zhiyuan's face immediately turned into a flower, and he patted his son's shoulder hard, "They've grown so big and tall."

  Cheng Shu couldn't help rolling his eyes: "The last time you came back was eight years ago, of course I've grown taller."

  Cheng Zhiyuan's expression darkened and he sighed, "It's my father who can't help you."

   "Then are you going back this time?" Cheng Shu couldn't explain what he was thinking, so he blurted out a question.

  Cheng Zhiyuan glanced at the old lady and Mrs Lin, and said with a guilty conscience, "This time I will stay longer."

  Cheng Shubari smiled but said, "Have you settled down outside and left soon after you come back? If you want your son to tell me, it's better to bring your wife and children into Beijing."
