The Elrond family's mansion is a large courtyard near the river, the structure of the roof can be seen in some Chinese style, but the layout of the house is with a little European style, but the area surrounding the middle of the courtyard is cleaned up a little bit of the flavor of the south of the Yangtze River water town.
After the car stopped, Elrond stayed Captain Blackwell out of the car into the house to have a cup of coffee, the captain said to consider Elrond away from home for so long, it is better not to disturb Elrond and his family reunion, and wait for tomorrow to come over to visit the house specially, in front of the door pulling a few times, see the other party's attitude is resolute, but also no longer forced, just agreed to be sure to come to the house tomorrow to have a cup of coffee, a few people only to be left in the door of the house in a After leaving a jeep in front of the house, they got into the car and left.
When Elrond turned around and looked at the entrance of his house, he saw his family staring at him blankly from the doorway. By the time he turned around and saw his face, his mother, Yang Xiu'er, had run over with teary eyes.
Without saying a word, Elrond put down the luggage in his hand, flung himself on his knees, and was banging his head three times to his grandfather, father, and mother, calling out under his breath, "Grandpa, mom and dad, the unfilial son, Elrond, is back, kowtowing to you."
Elrond didn't know why he would just fall to his knees and kowtow, thinking that it was probably the natural reaction of the original owner, and that he had kind of expressed his apology for occupying the original owner's body.
The mother, Yang Xiuer, had already run over and grabbed Elrond's arm, looking at her son's reddened forehead and chanting under her breath, "My son! You're finally back, finally back." While saying this, she wiped her tears.
Elrond's eyes reddened at the words as well, and he said repeatedly, "I'm sorry, mom, it's my son's fault for not knowing better and causing you to worry."
Mother just wiped her tears one by one, her mouth saying, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back, quick, quick, come into the house! Tao, quickly come over and help your brother with the luggage."
Looking at his younger brother who was called over by his mother, Elrond was not polite and casually threw the luggage in his hand to his younger brother, Elrond Tao, saying: "Tao'er, you haven't seen him in these two years, but you've grown quite a bit taller! You've become a big boy. No one has bullied you in the two years since my brother left!"
Receiving the luggage in Elrond's hand, Elrond Tao, who was stumbled by the weight and almost didn't stand still, also said with a smile on his face: ''Brother, you've finally come back, ooh! This bag is heavy enough. No one bullied me! Xuewu brother and the others protected me when I was in school, there weren't many of us Chinese, we were all very united in school, and now after Brazil entered the war, those Japanese classmates have also subsided."
"That's good, if there are still people bullying you, you and brother say, brother directly lead soldiers over to clean up their." After saying this, he patted his brother's shoulder and walked towards his grandfather and father at the entrance of the house.
Coming to his grandfather, he held his grandfather's arm and said, "Grandpa, I'm back, your body is still strong, right!"
The old man is already seventy-three years old, but the body is still quite strong, every day to play a boxing, the old saying is good seventy-three, eighty-four this is the old man's two hurdles, if you get through it, will be able to live a hundred years. Elrond's observation of the old man to live another ten years dare not say, but live a five or six years is no problem at all.
"The old man I am very strong, every morning boxing, can eat and sleep. You brats, out of shape, but also learned to run away from home, causing the old man to think that his eldest grandson is gone, very wipe a few tears." The old man was very open-minded.
Elrond thought to himself, Now your grandson doesn't know if he's gone or not, but don't worry, I'll help him do his filial duty to you.
"I'm sorry, grandpa it's my grandchildren who are unfilial, letting you follow and worry."
"It's good to be back, safe and sound! Talk to your dad properly! Don't argue anymore okay?" The old man patted Elrond's hand that was holding his arm and gave Elrond a wink towards Elrond's father who was standing beside him.
Elrond understood and said to his father who was making an old face, "Dad, I'm back, I'm sorry, it's my son's fault, I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye and made you worry."
The father, Elrond Xinshan, was a traditional and old-fashioned man with a strong family sense under the discipline of his grandfather, who stopped taking care of the family's affairs after his grandmother's passing, so the actual parent of the family was his father.
In Elrond's impression, his father has always been very strict, and believes that filial sons come out from under the stick, so Elrond and Elrond Tao two brothers have been invited to the family law since childhood. But after the father's stick education out, is really two completely different character of the son, Elrond is never afraid to be beaten, since childhood has been mischievous, in the edge of the death of the madness of the father to test the bottom line, good thing there is a mother and grandpa protection, only not to be beaten halfway through the death.
The younger brother Elrond Tao is a monkey that was scared by the killing of a chicken to make an example of the monkey, since childhood by the father to teach his brother to teach the appearance of scared not to resist, very obedient, became a good boy, reading performance is very good, is too honest, often bullied by schoolmates. In the past, when Elrond was at home, when someone bullied his brother, it was Elrond who went over and beat the person up, and slowly everyone realized that he had an older brother who was like a monster, and everyone didn't dare to bully him. That's why Elrond would ask him if he was being bullied as soon as he came back.
Elrond could see that his father's eyes were also slightly red, the fist in his hand clenched and unclenched, loosened and clenched tightly, apparently calming himself, and his mother, worried that his father would say something hurtful again, stood beside his father and grasped his hand and patted it gently.
In the end, my father just said, "Go inside!" And then he directly led the way into the small courtyard.
The mother at her side, visibly relieved, followed her father, waving and grabbing Elrond's arm towards the house, as if she was afraid Elrond would run away again.
After everyone entered the house, they moved out a few stools in the living room and gathered around to find out about Elrond's recent situation.Elrond also picked up some easy things to say, and didn't dare to say that he was injured, but only said that he saved an American on the battlefield, and then the other party helped to find connections and transferred Elrond away from the front line, and is now in charge of managing a transport ship, responsible for the transportation to and from Brazil and Italy, and that's how he himself had the opportunity to go home to visit his family.
Everyone listened to it before reassuring quite a bit, only the old man after all, followed the great master experienced the old home of the war, know the battlefield of the ferocity of the battlefield, after the surely not as light as Elrond portrayed, but the old man certainly will not be in front of the family to poke Elrond's avoidance of the light.
Just as everyone was relaxing a bit, my father spoke up, "The sea is still not safe, there are German submarines everywhere, have you forgotten why Brazil entered the war? Wasn't it the German submarines that attacked the Brazilian transports?"
Hearing her father's words, her mother's heart lifted again and she looked at Elrond with a worried expression, "Is that so, son? Then can we not go!"
Elrond heard his mother's words, crying and laughing, and was about to say something to comfort him, but he heard his father say: "A woman, what are you talking about, do you think being a soldier is the same as being at home? Do you think being a soldier is the same as being at home? Not to go is to be a deserter arrested and shot."
Father's words frightened mother's body trembled, tears looked like they were going to come out of her eyes again, Elrond quickly spoke, "Mom! Don't worry! Now the son's ship are in the escort fleet under heavy protection, the sky has airplanes, the sea has warships, safe very. Besides, now the allies have counterattacked into the European continent, the Axis powers have no days to jump. I reckon the war will be over within the year."
In an attempt to assuage his mother's suspicions, Elrond accidentally reveals the history. But he didn't mind, because first of all it was all his family here, and there was nothing he couldn't say. Secondly, everyone on both sides of the war now knew in their hearts that the balance of victory had already tipped in favor of the Allies, and victory was only a matter of time.
Elrond's words made his father interested, and he asked Elrond, "How do you know that the war will end this year? You're a soldier, don't listen to the propaganda of the troops, these are the officers, encouraging you to fight to the death to deliberately propaganda like this."
It was unthinkable that her father would be so insightful as to not be led by the overwhelming propaganda out there, which gave Elrond a whole new perspective on the feudalistic parent who had never been outside of St. Paul's.
"What kind of eyes do you have kid, why am I wrong?" Father Elrond Xinshan realized that Elrond was sizing himself up with a strange look and couldn't help but speak up.
