    Chu Mingshu died of a heart attack and his inability to adapt to the harsh conditions.  The comrades in the working group who sent him back told Mr. Liu that he died at night and that everyone around him was asleep when he had a heart attack. By the time they found out, it was already too late.  Comrades in the working group hinted that it would be a great favor to send Chu Mingshu back. According to the crimes Chu Mingshu committed, it is normal to bury him on the spot. There is no need to go to so much trouble to send him back.  Mr. Liu was very grateful. When the comrades of the working group left, they also gave them a jar of 60-year-old Shaoxing yellow wine and scolded Chang Xinlan who was crying next to him.  The Chu family is having a funeral again. According to custom, white lanterns, white paper flowers and white soul-calling flags are hung at the entrance of the Chu family's courtyard. All red things in the house are wrapped in white cloth, and the entire Chu family's backyard becomes  into a white world.  Except for Chu Yun who was still on the way, Chu Mingshu's descendants were all back. Chang Xinlan was crying sadly, Chu Kuanyuan's face was gloomy, Chu Kuangguang was crying sadly, and Chu Mei was very sad.  Uneasy and seemingly distracted, Jin Lan looked timidly at the people around him. Chu Kuanyuan was a little stunned and didn't know what to do.  Relatives who had not been to the Chu Mansion for a long time came out from all corners of Yanjing City. Chu Kuanmin came with his wife and children. Many people came from the third and third bedrooms of the big house, even Chu who had not had any contact with the Chu family for a long time.  Minggan, Chu Minghuang are all here.  When Chu Mingshu was alive, he never expected that so many family members would come to his funeral. The old guys from the Yi generation sat there in silence, the Ming generation sighed, and the Kuan generation  There were whispers to Chu Kuanyuan in the corner, while the women cried sadly.  In the past, people from the Chu family rarely gathered in such an orderly manner. Even for the annual family sacrifice, it was not so orderly. There were always a few who made excuses not to come, but today they came very neatly. Except for those who left overseas, everyone was here. This is  Rarely seen in years.  Chang Xinlan and Jin Lan were wearing white linen pieces and were kneeling in front of the coffin. Chu Kuanguang and Chu Kuanyuan were kneeling behind them, but Chu Kuanyuan and Chu Mei were not. They were talking to their elder brothers.  According to Master Liu¡¯s instructions, Chu Mingshu¡¯s funeral was not open to the public. Except for members of the Chu family, outsiders were not received. It was not that there were no outsiders at all. From time to time, there were always outsiders coming in carrying wreaths.  The District Federation of Industry and Commerce sent wreaths, and the CPPCC also sent wreaths. Comrades from the Federation of Industry and Commerce also asked diligently if they had any requests, Mr. Liu could put them forward, and they would definitely report them to the leaders, but Mr. Liu's representative Chang Xinlan did not mention them.  Any request.  Chu Kuanyuan sat with the elders of his father's generation, feeling uncomfortable all over. He looked at Chu Chengzhi and Chu Qing who were playing in the yard, and listened to the men around him chatting about his father's past. Some of the tone was contempt, some was regretful.  , To be honest, there were almost nothing admirable about Chu Mingshu in his life.  Even when the final conclusion is reached, it is difficult for people to say good things.  The wake changed after a while. The uncles began to talk about the affairs of each family, and while chatting, they began to complain. After the joint venture, their living standards dropped a lot; after the issuance of food stamps and meat stamps, their material resources changed.  You have to be nervous, money is of little use, you have to pay for everything.  While living standards have declined, other aspects have also declined. There are fewer servants at home, and there are fewer places to play. The dance halls that used to be commercial have been banned, and the brothels have naturally been closed long ago. Now we just go to the theater and listen to the music.  Cross talk is more colorful than before. They live lonely at home, not knowing what to do.  "A few days ago, guess what, I met your boy in Panjiayuan. He was selling a Xuande stove from the Ming Dynasty there quietly. I asked him if he stole it from you. Guess what the boy said?  I just eat carrots and worry about nothing, hey, I almost slapped him!" Speaking of these descendants, the old guys from the Ming Dynasty rushed to complain. Chu Kuanyuan wanted to comfort them, but he saw the way they looked at him and his words.  He couldn't say anything, and he obviously felt that they were rejecting him.  Chu Kuanyuan's embarrassment fell into the eyes of Master Six, who ignored him as he was talking to Chu Minghuang.  "Mingqiu, come here and meet your third brother, Minghuang, this is my old son." The sixth master stretched out his hand to call Chu Mingqiu over. Chu Mingqiu was looking at Chu Zijin curiously.  Chu Zijin¡¯s style is a bit unusual among Chu women. He is neither like Chang Xinlan nor Yue Xiuxiu. On the contrary, Chu Mingqiu feels a bit like a foreigner, specifically like a Japanese.  She is not tall. Chu Mingqiu visually estimated that she is about 1.5 to 1.55 meters tall. However, she is very polite. To everyone who talks to her, she responds by leaning her upper body forward slightly, as if bowing.  Then he started to speak, but he didn't hear what he said specifically.  Chu Mingqiu quietly asked Yue Xiuxiu. Sure enough, this Chu Zijin was a Japanese woman, the daughter-in-law brought back by Chu Minghuang from Japan. What was her Japanese name??, no one knows that the Chinese name is Chu Zijin. When Chu Mingqiu heard it, he knew it was taken from Zheng Feng in the Book of Songs, "Qingqing Zijin, lingering in my heart", which means longing and admiration.  This made Chu Mingqiu very interested in Chu Minghuang, so Yue Xiuxiu quietly introduced Chu Minghuang to him.  Chu Minghuang teaches at Huaqing University. He is fifty-one years old this year. He once studied in Japan and taught at Huaqing University after returning to China in 35 years. During the Anti-Japanese War, he moved to the southwest with the school and taught at Southwest Associated University. After the war, he returned  To Yanjing.  Chu Minghuang teaches precision mechanics in Huaqing University and is one of the veteran professors of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. His two sons have graduated from college and are working. The eldest son was born in Japan. After graduating from the Department of Architecture of Huaqing University, he worked in the Department of Architecture of Jiangcheng University.  He teaches in the department. His younger son also graduated from Huaqing University and works as an engineer at Shanghai Mechanical Design Institute. His daughter is studying at Yanjing Medical University and is said to graduate next year.  Chu Minghuang got married in Japan. He didn't notify his family at all when he got married. He decided to get married on his own. When he came back, he took his Japanese wife back to China. This made his uncle Chu Yijun so angry that he had to give up the wife he had decided to marry.  Well, it caused a sensation in Yanjing City at that time, and Chu Yijun was embarrassed.  At this time, foreign-related marriages were rare. Even in the previous life, when the country's comprehensive national strength was super strong and it was known as the second in the world, there were still not many foreign women marrying in the country. They were mainly exported, not to mention that in that era when winning was extremely weak.  , and also went through eight years of brutal resistance, this woman actually never left her, following her from Japan to Yanjing, and then to the southwest.  However, the Chu family did not want to admit the marriage. Sino-Japanese relations were tense at that time, and it was when the students were causing trouble. When Chu Minghuang requested that the names of his wife and son be included in the Chu family tree, the elder Chu Jiayi firmly refused.  Especially the clan leader Chu Liuye.  Liu Ye angrily told him that he should either divorce the Japanese woman or get out of the Chu family.  Chu Minghuang chose to get out of the Chu family without hesitation and never visited the Chu family again.  When Chu Mingqiu arrived, Chu Minghuang looked him up and down. He had long known that Master Liu had a son, but he had never seen him. Decades had passed and he had never visited the Chu family, but today he came back again.  .  Now the Chu Mansion has declined, and the Chu family has fallen apart. Some have gone overseas, and some have scattered within the country. The Yi generation who used to be the most powerful people are now old, and age spots have crept up on them.  His face has become cloudy, his eyes are no longer as sharp as before, and his walk is no longer as vigorous. He can only sit in the yard silently, looking at the snow-white Yanjing City in a daze.  When they met for the first time, Chu Mingqiu took out his big weapon again. He cuddled up to Mr. Liu like a good baby, fiddling with the white cloth tied around his waist. He looked at Chu Minghuang with his big blinking eyes, a little reserved.  He shouted: "Third brother." Chu Minghuang was slightly stunned in his heart, and then subconsciously replied: "Oh, little little brother, how old are you? Have you gone to school?" It was a very ordinary opening greeting, and the two of them asked each other.  Answer, mainly Chu Minghuang asked Chu Mingqiu. Master Liu looked at them talking and felt a little puzzled as to why this little guy was so well-behaved today.  But after a while, Chu Mingqiu's true nature began to show, and he smiled sweetly: "Third brother, why haven't I seen you here before?" One sentence made it difficult for Chu Mingqiu to answer, and he was hesitating.  , Mr. Liu was standing by to smooth things over for him: "Your third brother is busy with work, but he is not as busy as your other brothers. If you have the ability like him in the future, I will rest assured." Chu Minghuang was still a little embarrassed, so he followed  Master Liu's words were confusing. Master Liu was actually a little puzzled. For so many years, Chu Minghuang had never come to his door, but he actually came back this time. Not only was he surprised, but others were also surprised.  Chu Minghuang was brought back by Chu Yixun. Chu Yixun quietly told the Sixth Master that Chu Minghuang also fell into the conspiracy and was designated as the center right. He was not sent to the countryside to support farmers like Chu Mingshu, but his rank  After being demoted from a first-level professor to a third-level professor, his salary has been reduced by nearly a hundred yuan. More importantly, he is now idle. He can no longer go to the podium or enter the laboratory. Now he spends all day organizing books in the library.  Huaqing University and Yenching University are areas hardest hit by anti-rightism. Many students and professors have been classified as right-wing, and some have even been directly arrested. Chu Minghuang is considered lucky to be classified as center-right.  ?Perhaps out of depression, or perhaps because the happy factor in the Chu family came into play, Chu Minghuang began to raise flowers and birds, and met Chu Yixun at the Dianhai Flower Market.  Naturally, Chu Minghuang would not tell Chu Mingqiu these things. He changed the topic to Chu Mingqiu's study in a very clich¨¦ way. Chu Mingqiu didn't know what to say. With his current public study level, he was in the second grade of elementary school.  But in fact, Bao Demao believes that in literature, he has reached the undergraduate level. Sister Shenxian has never mentioned his piano level, but according to his own judgment, it is probably level ten, and Mr. Zhao's evaluation of him is getting better and better.  As he got older, the second senior brother said he could go to the Academy of Fine Arts to study."Oh, Master Bao is teaching him. As for school, he doesn't go to school very often." In Master Liu's eyes, both the piano and Chinese painting are just toys and not worth mentioning.  "Dad!" Chu Mingqiu shouted dissatisfied, and then said to Chu Minghuang a little shyly: "Mr. Bao teaches Chinese, Teacher Zhuang teaches me how to play the piano, and Teacher Zhao teaches me Chinese painting. Well, there is also Dad.  "Teach me how to learn medicine." Chu Minghuang couldn't help but take a breath. He knew about Bao Demao. They met him often before liberation. Mr. Zhao also knew that the current masters in the Chinese painting world had famous disciples.  If any painter in the world can be attracted by him, this little brother is naturally extraordinary.  Chu Mingqiu rolled his eyes and said enthusiastically: "Third brother, the eldest brother is gone now, and the house is empty. Why don't you move back and live there, so that everyone can have company." Chu Minghuang smiled, he lives in Huaqing  Inside the university is the school's house. Although it is not as big as the Chu Mansion's courtyard, it is more than enough and there is no need to move back.  When he returned home in the evening, Liu Ye touched Chu Mingqiu's head and said, "You are a Buddha! Why have you fallen in love with Chu Minghuang again?" Chu Mingqiu chuckled, did not answer, and slipped out of the yard.  Chu Mingshu¡¯s funeral did not last long. When Chu Yun rushed back from Suzhou, Chu Mingshu had already been buried. Chu Yunganhe just placed a stick of incense in front of the grave, held the child and kowtowed to Chu Mingshu.  After Chu Yun came back, Master Six called Chu Kuanyuan home. In front of Chu Mingshu¡¯s spiritual tablet, he took out the will that Chu Mingshu had drawn up before his death and read it out in front of the whole family.  "Yunzi, if you have anything to say, just say it." Liu Ye put the will on the table, lit his pipe and asked.  Chu Yun was the only person who did not sign or fingerprint the will. In other words, she was the only person who had the power to overturn the will without any blame.  Everyone looked at Chu Yun. Chu Yun shook her head and said nothing. There was not much sadness in her expression, only a hint of melancholy.  Mr. Liu was about to say that he would separate the family according to this plan, but Chu Yun suddenly spoke.  "Brother, you know about dad's body. Why? Aren't you going to explain it?" Chu Kuanyuan was stunned. Before he could speak, Xia Yan rushed in and counterattacked: "What's the explanation? Go to the countryside."  Supporting farmers is arranged by superiors, and Kuanyuan can't control it. Besides, he has been transferred to Dianhai District. How can he control it? "Chu Yun ignored Xia Yan and just stared at Chu Kuanyuan bitterly.  She stopped Xia Yan, and then said with difficulty and slowly: "I didn't expect that before leaving, the Federation of Industry and Commerce sought the opinions of the district, and the secretary's office meeting approved it. II can't intercede just because he is a father.  II thought it would only last a few months. Besides, the work is not heavy." Chu Yun sneered: "Yeah, the work is not heavy. He is your father, so even if you know that he has high blood pressure and heart disease,  ., even in prison, there is medical parole. " "What are you talking about?" Chu Kuanyuan said unhappily: "What kind of prison? It is the decision of the municipal party committee and the government to go to the countryside to support agriculture. We all have to go there." "Really?  , but you don¡¯t have high blood pressure or heart disease.¡± After Chu Yun finished speaking, she took the child from Gan He and stood up to leave. Master Liu frowned and scolded: ¡°Sit down!¡± Chu Yun sat down with a cold face.  The master said sternly: "What are you doing with these old sesame seeds and rotten millet? Isn't it interesting! Since Yunzi has no objection, then we will divide the family according to this will." "What about mom?" Chu Yun said and looked at Chang Xinlan:  "Are you going to Suzhou with me or staying with the Chu family?" "Why should I go to Suzhou? You kid," Chang Xinlan shook his head and said Liu Ye calmly: "There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below; Suzhou  It¡¯s a good place.¡± Chu Kuanyuan felt more and more uncomfortable. He said angrily, ¡°Mom, why would you live with us?¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯m responsible for raising you.¡±  Kuan Guang snorted and looked at Chu Kuanyuan provocatively. The sixth master held his pipe in his mouth and praised vaguely: "Okay, wife Mingshu, you have a group of filial sons." "Grandpa, don't be so arrogant.  !" Chu Kuanyuan burst out and shouted at Mr. Liu: "I know! I know! But I, I don't want to explain! There are many reasons for Dad's death.  There were mistakes in the work of the joint working group, but, it was just an accident! " "Of course it was an accident, no one said it was murder," Chu Yun teased her son and interrupted abruptly. Chu Kuanyuan was very angry.  Know what to say.  "Chu Yun, these are serious right-wing remarks!" Xia Yan looked at Chu Yun coldly. Chu Yun sneered and was about to fight back when Liu Ye banged his pipe on the table.  "Shut up, everyone! You are talking nonsense! My wife, Mingshu, you make up your own mind. Should you go to Suzhou with Yunzi, or with someone else? Make up your own mind, whoYou are not allowed to speak anymore!  " After Chang Xinlan's eyes turned around Chu Kuanyuan, Xia Yan and Chu Kuanguang, she finally chose Chu Kuanyuan. The sixth master scolded several children before going back. "Chu Kuanguang was very upset.  Disappointed, Chang Xinlan still had a large amount of cash and antiques in his hand, which meant that Chu Kuanyuan could inherit a large amount of wealth in the future. When the Sixth Master left, Chu Kuanguang started to make trouble again and asked Chang Xinlan to do the same.  The sixth master made a will like that, which made Chu Kuan angry. But for some reason, Chu Kuanguang seemed to be less afraid of him and started arguing with him without giving in. When Chu Mingshu was alive, Chu Mei felt that there was something wrong.  It didn't matter if she didn't have this father, but when he was truly gone, Chu Mei realized that she felt like she had lost everything, standing alone in the empty wilderness, boundless loneliness came over her, and she felt the loneliness leaching from her bones, making the blood all over her body  It was almost solid. Chu Mei followed Liu Ye out. No matter how she chose, Chang Xinlan would not choose her. But when she got outside, she hesitated and stood there not knowing what to do. While she was hesitating, Jin Lan took Chu.  Kuan Yuan also came out, and when he saw Chu Mei, Jin Lan came over with the same hesitation: "Meizi, your father is gone. In the future, my place will be your home. If you have any difficulties, just come to me.  " Chu Mei almost burst into tears. She had never wanted to see this woman before, but she didn't expect that just when she was hesitant, she would actually say such words. No matter how true the words were, she still felt warm. "  Um.  "Chu Mei couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. Jin Lan sighed and handed her the handkerchief. Chu Kuanyuan was also a little sad. This Chu family compound felt strange to him. This was not his home.
