has wealth and officials, so it seems that what Taigong said is quite accurate!

Could it be that a person who has a good life is so smooth?

Although Huo Yaowen is skeptical, it is a good thing after all, whether it is true or not, at least he is comfortable listening to it, who doesn't want his son to be smooth sailing?

"Don't be too happy, although your life is good, but you should do more good deeds, so that even in the passing year, it will be smooth sailing. ”

Taigong looked at Huo Yaowen and "smirked", and also said a few words.

Huo Yaowen nodded and said, "Knowing Taigong, I will do more charity." ”

"It's not you, it's your cub. ”

"Yes, when Shuhua grows up, I will tell him to do more charity things. ”

"Hmm. ”

Seeing his respectful promise, the prince touched the long beard on his chin with great satisfaction, and said with a kind smile: "Okay, you go out to worship your ancestors, I will copy Shuhua's name to the family tree later." But if you have a chance, Wen Tsai, you'd better bring your cub back. ”

Huo Yaowen said: "I know Taigong, I will definitely bring Shuhua back if I have the opportunity." ”

"Well, go ahead. ”

Taigong waved his hand and signaled that the two could go out.

……

After a while, when the two of them went out, the third master seemed to be very excited, and couldn't stop patting Huo Yaowen on the shoulder, saying to see when he could be allowed to come back again, so he brought Shuhua to take a look, he wanted to meet this good little guy.

"It shouldn't be long. Huo Yaowen knows very well that after the reform and opening up next year, relevant policies will be introduced to allow Hong Kong Island compatriots to return to their hometowns, and when they come back with their families, it will only take about a year to come.

"Hopefully. ”

The third master sighed, although he didn't know how Huo Yaowen came back this time, but the jeep that picked up and dropped off before was not something that ordinary people could sit on.

When they arrived at the ancestral hall, the crowd was still endless, and the younger generation, under the reprimand of their parents, was also respectful to their ancestors, but most of them were thinking about a perfunctory attitude.

The older generation, on the other hand, attaches great importance to it, and most of them worship sincerely.

In this way, until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Yaocheng hurriedly ran into the ancestral hall, found Huo Yaowen and said, "Brother Yaowen, the jeep outside the village is here." ”

"Coming?"

"Well, the driver who drove the car, let me inform you that it is best to get there as soon as possible, because it is too late and the road is not safe. ”

The road is not safe, not because there are any bad people, but because the road is slippery in the dark, and I am afraid of any accidents.

"Okay, I'll talk to the third master. Immediately, Huo Yaowen walked to the third master and explained to him what he was leaving.

"So fast?"

The third master was stunned, and immediately asked the third uncle to hurry up and get something.

After a while, the third uncle ran in panting with a sack, and the third master took it and handed it to him: "This is some mushrooms that I asked the third uncle to get from a nearby neighbor's house, they are all good dry goods, you come back this time, it is not good for you to return empty-handed, and I think your grandfather, grandma and your father also want to taste the dried mushrooms in their hometown." ”

Huo Yaowen looked at the contents of the bag, all of them were some dried wild mushrooms, although there were more of them, but after all, they were dry goods, and they were easy to carry, so he smiled and thanked them and took them.

Not long after, the group went back to the third master's house first.

Huo Yaowen packed his luggage, Huo Yaoguang helped lead the sack, and Huo Yaocheng followed closely behind.

"Third grandfather, then I'll go back first, and I'll come back next time I have a chance. ”

"Go ahead. ”

Subsequently, Huo Yaowen said goodbye to the third, fourth, and fifth uncles, as well as the elders, such as the eldest aunt, the eldest uncle, and the uncle, and then rode with Huo Yaoguang to Huo Huiying, a sack of dry goods, and luggage, and ran towards the outside of the village.

Looking at the back of the two bicycles in the distance, the third grandfather seemed a little sad, and he didn't know what year or month he was leaving.

The last time I met my nephew Huo Chengcai was in 1951, and after 26 years, the children who were a few years old were almost thirty.

This time Huo Yaowen came back, goodbye, don't wait for the reunion of relatives in the past 20 years.

……

On the other side, Huo Yaowen and the three of them soon arrived at the section of the road they had just come to before.

The driver, Comrade Li, saw Huo Yaowen riding over, stepped forward and said, "Mr. Huo." ”

"Comrade Li, please go on another trip. Huo Yaowen shook hands with him.

"Mr. Huo is polite, this little thing should be. Comrade Li glanced at the suitcase and a sack of things hanging on the bicycle, and said, "I'll help you move it." ”

"No, no, no......"

As soon as he said no, Comrade Li picked up the sacks and suitcases one by one, and Huo Yaowen immediately helped open the rear door and stuffed things into it one by one.

The two put away their luggage, Huo Yaowen walked towards Huo Yaoguang and Huo Huiying, "Yaoguang, Huiying, you can go back first, and I will come to see you next time I have the opportunity." ”

"Brother Yaowen, when will you come back next time? Huo Huiying is more emotional, after contact in the past few days, she has a very good impression of this cousin, and when she saw that he was really leaving, she asked reluctantly with tears.

"It shouldn't be long. Huo Yaowen stepped forward and rubbed Huo Huiying's hair, then turned his head to look at Huo Yaoguang, who was also not in a high mood, and advised: "Yaoguang, remember to ride a bicycle slowly in the future, you ride too fiercely." ”

Huo Yaoguang nodded seriously, "I know Brother Yaowen." ”

"Well, you guys go back, you don't have to send it, I'll take the car and leave directly. ”

As he spoke, Huo Yaowen waved his hand and sat in the co-pilot, and Comrade Li on the side saw this, so he also got into the driver's seat, twisted the key, stepped on the accelerator, made a bend on the spot, and drove directly towards the previous one.

After a while, until the jeep could not be seen, Huo Yaoguang and the sad Huo Huiying rode back on their bicycles.

……

At about six o'clock in the evening, Huo Yaowen hurried to the port of Guangzhou, and there was no boat at night, so he stayed in a local guest house temporarily.

At about 8 o'clock the next morning, with the help of Comrade Li, he boarded a passenger ship that had been prepared long ago and sailed all the way to Hong Kong Island.

It wasn't until around noon that Fok Yiu-man got off the boat at the Kowloon Pier.

It was Anna who drove over to pick him up, and yesterday President Liang had already informed the people of the Huo family to let them pick him up the next day.

"Honey!"

Anna hugged Huo Yaowen, feeling that the month of his absence had been extremely long.

"Okay, okay, aren't I coming back?"

Huo Yaowen wanted to pull her hand away, but seeing that she was hugging her hard, he smiled and simply continued to hug her.

The two embraced.

It's been a long time.

Anna relieved her longing, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled: "It's not too early, let's go back." Grandma, they're still waiting for you at home. ”

"Hmm. Huo Yaowen smiled and put the suitcase and sack into the trunk.

The two drove all the way to Victoria Peak on Hong Kong Island, and after more than an hour, they soon arrived at Pak Ka Road in the mid-levels.

As soon as you get home.

When Xiaobao and Xiaohu saw their father coming back, they pounced excitedly, didn't pay attention for a while, and almost overturned Huo Yaowen.

"Heh, Xiaobao and Xiaohu are a lot heavier. ”

Huo Yaowen picked up his children and walked to the living room with a smile.

At this moment, in the house, grandma, uncle, eldest cousin, and grandfather were sitting in the living room chatting, when they heard the movement, they looked back and saw that Huo Yaowen was back, and they were very happy.

Grandma and Grandpa hurriedly asked, "Yaowen, how is your hometown?"

"It's all good, I've taken a lot of pictures! I'll show you. As he spoke, Huo Yaowen took the suitcase from Anna's hand, opened it and took out a large paper bag, which was full of photos.

These were all personally sent by the ancestors of the Zhang Dynasty in the morning, and there were almost more than 170 sheets.

"I didn't expect my eldest brother to be so old, this should be Ah Hua, I remember when I left, he was only six or seven years old, I didn't expect him to be so old. ”

Grandma looked at the photo in her hand, except for a few people, many people of the younger generation, she didn't recognize it very well, and she was full of emotion in her heart for a while.

"This is the third child!" the grandfather recognized the old man in the black and white photo at a glance.

"The third uncle is a lot older. ”

Huo Chengcai also took a closer look, and saw that the third uncle in the photo was a lot older, although the black and white photos could not be taken in color, and the photos were not clear enough, but the vicissitudes of life on his face could still be seen.

Huo Yaowen scattered the photos to them, looked left and right, didn't see his mother, happened to hear movement in the kitchen, went in and saw that Huo's mother was cooking lunch with Zhang's mother, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mom, come out and take a look, I took pictures of my grandfather and uncles." ”

"You're going to see your grandfather!" As soon as Huo's mother heard the news from her father, she was so excited that she almost knocked over the pot, but fortunately, Zhang's mother quickly took the shovel, and she said, "Madam, you go outside to be busy, I'll be busy with Sister Li here." ”

"Okay, you guys get busy for now, and I'll come back later. ”

Huo's mother also took off her apron and followed Huo Yaowen to the living room to look at the photos.

One or two hundred photos, many of the younger generation, many of them don't know each other, and under Huo Yaowen's introduction, they know who the children of the third, fourth, and fifth uncles are.

Seeing these photos, his second cousin, who came to Hong Kong a few years ago, almost cried, he hadn't seen these familiar relatives for several years.

Li Jun and Li Laidi both sniffled, and asked with a hint of crying, "Cousin, are my parents okay?"

"It's good, my uncle and aunt are fine. ”

Huo Yaowen said a few words of relief, since the end of the revolution last year, many places have gradually returned to normal, although the uncle and aunt seem to be much older than their actual age, I think it is because Li Jun and Li Laidi were a little implicated in Hong Kong at the beginning, but on the whole, the spirit is not bad.

Aunt Zhang Chunfen also pointed to the photo of her uncle to Wanjun, saying that this was her uncle, that is, Zhang Wanjun's grandfather.

"Yaowen, have you built an ancestral tomb?"

Grandma saw the familiar tombstone and looked at Huo Yaowen in surprise.

"Well, after I go back, I asked the third grandfather to help find someone from the production team to repair it. ”

"Okay, just fix it, I'm really afraid that no one will take care of it for so many years. ”

"Yaowen, how are the third and fourth brothers doing. ”

"They are all very good uncles, the third uncle, the fourth uncle, and the fifth uncle are all in good health. ”

“……”

The family was like this, looking at the photos, listening to Huo Yaowen talk about the recent situation in his hometown, and learning that everything was fine, so they let go of the heart that had been holding for many years.

Suddenly, the eldest grandfather looked at a circle of photos, but he didn't expect the shadow of the fourth child, and couldn't help asking: "What about your fourth master? Why don't you have a photo of him." ”

Huo Yaowen hesitated for a few seconds before replying: "The fourth master has passed away, I heard the third master say that it has been a few years since he died, and he died of illness." ”

"Alas, I didn't expect the fourth child to leave so early. ”

The eldest grandfather frowned and sighed subconsciously. It's really impermanent, the fourth child, who was as strong as an ox back then, was the first to leave after Zongxiong, and the third child is also a lot older, and I don't know if I can still have the life to return to my hometown to visit my relatives in person.
