Now that the decision to return to China has been made, then the next thing will be easy to handle. At the moment, everyone is going abroad on a cruise ship, and going back is naturally a cruise ship. They were very busy with Meng Chi, and finally boarded the ship at the end of December.
The ship going to China from the United States needs to change its route, so when Zhou Zekai and Meng Chi arrived in China, it was already early February, and the voyage of almost a month made both of them feel a little dusty.
When they stood on the land of Shangjing again, both of them had some indescribable emotions. Compared with the people on the pier of Shangjing, the two of them were wearing a well-dressed, brown windbreaker and gray scarf. , coupled with the shiny leather shoes, already made the bearers around look over.
Although it is almost Chinese New Year now, the workers at the wharf have received the news that a ship is coming in advance. They come to work in order to make ends meet for their families. The young men who came back carried the luggage.
As soon as the two of them unloaded their luggage from the car, a man in his thirties came over with his son.
"Gentlemen, I don't know if you need porters? I'll take you home with just one ocean!"
Both of them were wearing worn-out padded jackets. Although Shangjing was considered a wealthy place, the poor people at the bottom were still relatively poor. The father and son came here to find business.
"Okay, these are our luggage, can you take them?"
Because they prepared a lot of gifts for their family members, the two of them have seven or eight boxes of luggage alone. Now that they see these two people, they feel that they don’t know if they can finish the move. They didn’t notify the family when they came back this time. , Naturally, no servants came to pick them up. Looking at these boxes, I felt that someone must be looking for someone to carry the luggage.
"Yes! Yes, sir. I have a luggage cart here. If you don't mind, how about I push it over and load your luggage for you?"
Just looking at the clothes of Zhou Zekai and Meng Chi, the porter knew that these two people must be rich people, especially the leather suitcase on the ground, which looked smooth and beautiful, was not something ordinary people could afford.
"Okay, I'll wait, you go and push it over."
Zhou Zekai waved his hand. In fact, he respects these laborers who live at the bottom of the society. After all, everyone is out to make a living. In order to have a good life, all efforts are made for this family.
When the father heard this, his old face burst into a smile. On the other hand, the son beside him was very sensible. He quickly turned his head and went to push the cart. earn more...
Meng Chi and Zhou Zekai were standing there waiting for someone. They also looked at the pier in Shangjing. They haven't returned to China for three years. Seeing this familiar pier, there seemed to be no change. Both of them had smiles on their faces. I am happy to be home after all.
Just when the two of them were looking at Shang Jing and remembering the past, a shout startled them both.
"Master!! Eldest Master!!!"
Suddenly, a young man in his twenties emerged from the crowd. The man was dressed much better than others. He was running over quickly, his face full of surprise and disbelief.
On the other hand, Meng Chi was also excited when he saw the person coming, and waved at him.
"Embolic! Embolus!!!"
This young man was Zhang Shuan, the son of the housekeeper of the Meng family. Meng Chi had grown up playing with him when he was a child. Later, Zhang Shuan became Meng Chi's school boy, just because Zhang Shuan's mother was sick when he went abroad. That's why he didn't bring Zhang Shuan with him. Meng Chi was naturally happy to see someone coming.
"Master! Uncle! Why are you back? I thought I was dazzled when I saw it just now!"
Zhang Shuan was so excited that he didn't know what to say. When he saw the luggage beside him, he picked it up with a wink.
"Master, uncle, let's go home quickly. If the young lady and the old lady know about this, I'm afraid they will be very happy..."
Seeing Shuanzi so excited, Meng Chi quickly grabbed his hand carrying the luggage and said.
"I know, we'll go home later. There's a lot of luggage here. I bought a lot of gifts for everyone. I just found a porter. The porter's car will come over later."
Hearing what Meng Chi said, the porter felt that Meng Chi and the two were our young masters. He only hoped that today's business could be completed. After all, they had servants. The Shuanzi knew at a glance that they were probably servants.
"Oh! Look at my brain, young master, uncle, or else you wait at the coffee shop near the pier first, and I will go back with the porter, and then let the family send a car to pick you up, what do you think?"
Zhang Shuan is really happy. He is two years older than Meng Chi. He has taken good care of Meng Chi since he was a child. Meng Chi also shares with him what he has, so he has always been very grateful to Meng Chi. After all, other servants want to learn literature. Duanzi is not acceptable, only he has this identity.
"Shuanzi, your young master and I haven't come back for three years. You, don't be too busy. When the porter's car arrives, help us look after this luggage and send it back. I will tell you My young master, I plan to go back on foot, and take a look at the changes in the past three years when we went to Beijing, so you can inform your family, or they will be scared when we go back."
Zhou Zekai spoke now, and arranged things for Shuanzi. The distance between Zhou's house and Meng's house is only two doorways, to put it bluntly, less than 500 meters. If the two families make arrangements, they must be together. It was only an hour's walk at home, Zhou Zekai and Meng Chi planned to walk back.
"What, how good is this?" Shuanzi didn't expect that my uncle would go back, and was a little embarrassed. At this moment, the porter's son came over with a cart, and the cart was really big enough to hold all the boxes.
"Brother-in-law said yes, that's good, Shuanzi, you must help take care of this luggage. Inside, it was bought by the young master and my brother-in-law as gifts for the family. They are very valuable things, you know? When it's delivered to the house, give the porter a big ocean, well, these three belong to your young master, and the five here belong to my brother-in-law."
When the two came back, all the houses in the United States were disposed of, and almost all the clothes were disposed of. After all, if they returned home, mother would definitely prepare new clothes for them, and those old clothes would be disposed of. Inside these boxes are all gifts for family members.
"Don't worry, young master, I'll definitely take care of it!"
Hearing that the boxes were full of valuables, Zhang Shuan's eyes on these boxes changed, and his eyes on the two porters also turned into scrutiny. He would never let the young master and uncle's things go wrong!
So, Zhou Zekai and Meng Chi just watched, with the help of Zhang Shuan, the two porters packed their luggage, and Zhang Shuan moved out of Meng's house to hold down the two porters before they left together.
Before leaving, he specifically told the two of them to go back quickly, acting like an old lady.
Although Zhou Zekai and Meng Chi had been away for three years, they did not forget their way home. The two of them walked all the way, watching the changes in their surroundings, and found that in the past three years, the shops on the roadside had been repaired. They bought a lot, and there were more and more shops about foreign goods. The two of them also saw a bakery in the middle of the road. The bakery business was quite good.
"Brother-in-law, I don't think I want to eat bread in my life!"
Seeing this bakery, Meng Chi sighed, no matter in the UK or the US, bread is inseparable every day, and Meng Chi would go crazy if he ate it.
"Hehe, after you go back, mother-in-law will definitely prepare delicious food for you, so that you can eat enough."
Zhou Zekai also misses the food at home very much, after all, no matter how good the food outside is, it is not as good as at home.
The two of them were walking slowly on the street, and they occasionally met a few acquaintances to say hello. They were very leisurely, but they didn't know that the Meng family and the Zhou family were about to fall apart by the news of their return!
The closer to the end of the new year, every household has posted couplets and hung up red lanterns. The Zhou family and the Meng family are both big houses, so they naturally prepared things for the new year early. Before Zhang Shuan went to the pier, he also had to prepare fireworks. The firecrackers fought these things, but I didn't buy this thing, and I also met my young master and uncle, so happy that I laughed behind my ears.
When he arrived at Meng's house with his porter, he happened to meet Zhang Sheng who came out. Zhang Shuan immediately told his father the news of the young master's return, and handed the young master's box to his father. House's.
Zhang Sheng was also very happy. He also watched Meng Chi grow up. Now he hurriedly sent someone to take the suitcase and went back to report to the old lady.
As for Zhang Shuan, he took the porter to Zhou's house again. As soon as he arrived at the door, the porter had already seen Zhang Shuan.
"Master Shuan, why are you free today?"
As soon as I got up, I saw the porter and the luggage on the porter's car.
"Good news! Great news! Hurry up, move all these luggage in, my uncle is back! I just met my uncle at the pier. He is walking behind with my young master, and he will be back soon!! !"
Zhang Shuan is also in a good mood when people are in good spirits on happy occasions. He thinks that the lady will be very happy to hear the news.
When the concierge heard this, he was stunned for an instant, and then with a smile on his face, he quickly picked up the luggage in the car.
"Master Shuan, don't leave yet, I will give you a reward later when I report to Mrs. Master and Young Mistress!"
For this kind of happy event, the family will give bonuses to those who report the letter.
Zhang Shuan didn't care about these things, and arranged for the porter to carry the luggage into the Zhou family's mansion, and after putting the luggage in the hall, he gave Yi Dayang and sent them away.
The little girl in the house heard what the concierge said immediately, and knew that her young master had returned, so she hurriedly ran to inform his wife and young mistress, which filled the already festively dressed Zhou family with joy. .
In the study at this time, Zhou Zekai's father, Zhou Yunhan, was practicing calligraphy, and his wives, Shen Wanru and Meng Qiongyu, were knitting sweaters. The room was very quiet, but at this moment, there was a noise outside the door. The three people in the room heard the shout of the little girl outside.
"Master and Madam! Young Mistress! The Eldest Young Master is back! The Eldest Young Master is coming back!!!"
Meng Qiongyu, who was knitting a sweater, was taken aback for a moment, and the sweater in her hand suddenly fell aside, and then she saw her mother-in-law who was as surprised as herself.
For three years, her husband... is coming back...
