Chapter 585: The Zhao Family
585
The bright moon is like a hook, and the lonely Wutong deep courtyard locks the clear autumn.
Song Jialing walked in front, came to the outside of the room, opened the room, and then walked in.
Xu Taiping followed Song Jialing into the room, and then closed the door.
The room is not big, but it is very warm, the floor is carpeted, a bed is not big, it is just right to sleep one person, and it will be very crowded to sleep two people.
Song Jialing sat cross-legged on the ground and said to Xu Taiping, "Go and turn on the heating." ”
Xu Taiping nodded, walked to the side to turn on the heater, and then walked to Song Jialing and sat down.
"How to drink?" Song Jialing asked, placing the wine between the two of them.
"Do you want to drink it?" asked Xu Taiping.
"It's all right, whatever you want. Song Jialing said.
"Then drink it dry. Xu Taiping picked up a bottle of wine, directly pulled the cap up with his fingers, and then handed the bottle to Song Jialing.
Song Jialing took the wine bottle, took a sip, and then said, "I've been drinking today, and I haven't had a good chat." ”
"What are you talking about?" asked Xu Taiping.
"I found that most of the people here are surnamed Zhou and Li, why are you surnamed Xu?" asked Song Jialing.
"Because we moved in from outside. Xu Taiping explained.
"This is strange, generally speaking, even if you move, you will move to a big city, how can you move to a small town?
"I don't know about that, I have to ask my dad. Xu Taiping shrugged helplessly.
"Tell me about your old story, if you have wine, you have to have a story. Song Jialing said.
"What's the story? My parents came here from somewhere, and they gave birth to me, and it didn't take long for my mom to leave, and then my dad was gone, and it was because of the good of society, otherwise I wouldn't have lived so much. The Granny Li and Uncle Tu you see today are the ones who often helped me when I was a child. Xu Taiping said.
"Then you're an orphan. Song Jialing said.
"Hmm. Xu Taiping nodded and said, "I don't know anything about my parents, and they didn't think to tell me." ”
"By the way, didn't Uncle Tu give you a box for your father?" asked Song Jialing.
"Yes!" Xu Taiping suddenly realized and said, "I remember, where did you put that box?"
"Downstairs, I remember putting it next to the living room!" Song Jialing said.
Xu Taiping hurriedly got up and went downstairs, then took the box upstairs and put it in front of Song Jialing.
This box, Xu Taiping did not look at it carefully before, but when he looked at it now, Xu Taiping found that this box was not the same as the ordinary boxes on the market, he was made of a kind of wood that Xu Taiping could not name, the whole body was dark, and it exuded a peculiar fragrance.
Xu Taiping opened the box, and the things in the alley were all lying in the box intact and quietly.
Xu Taiping saw a pair of cloth shoes, which were placed on the top, and then a set of clothes underneath, and some miscellaneous items were placed next to the clothes, such as pens, glasses and the like.
Xu Taiping took out his shoes and clothes, and found that there was a booklet under the clothes.
Xu Taiping opened the booklet and looked at it, and found that nothing was written in the booklet.
Xu Taiping was a little strange, what was his Lao Tzu doing with a booklet in this box?
Xu Taiping casually put the booklet aside, and then checked the things in the alley, only to find an envelope in the corner.
The closure of the envelope was sealed, and a few words were written on the envelope.
"If you're going to open an envelope, it's going to change your life dramatically. ”
Xu Taiping frowned tightly and looked at the words on the envelope.
"Can you open it?" Song Jialing looked at Xu Taiping nervously and asked.
"Open!" Xu Taiping nodded, then raised his hand to tear off the seal on the envelope.
There was nothing out of the ordinary, and Xu Taiping opened the envelope.
The first thing you see is a photo.
The photo is very large, Xu Taiping can see that this is a family photo.
Xu Taiping took out the family photo and looked at the people on it carefully.
At this look, Xu Taiping's brows furrowed.
There were a lot of people in the picture, about thirty or forty.
Among the thirty or forty, there was a man whose head was circled by a pen and marked next to it.
"This is your dad and me. ”
"Why did your dad mark himself?" Song Jialing asked suspiciously.
"How do I know, maybe I'm afraid I'll forget what he looks like, but I really can't remember what my dad looks like, and he seems to be very young in this picture. Xu Taiping said.
"Are these people your relatives?" asked Song Jialing.
Xu Taiping shook his head, frowned, and looked at the person in the photo.
The people in the photo are old, young, and young.
"These people, how are they a little familiar. Xu Taiping pointed to several people in the photo and said.
"Familiar?" Song Jialing glanced at the people Xu Taiping was referring to, and found that those people were all young people, looking about ten years old.
"Your father is less than twenty years old in this photo, which proves that this photo must be at least thirty years old, more than thirty years ago, he was a teenager, and now he must be forty or fifty years old, how can you feel serious?" Song Jialing asked.
"I don't understand, I just feel familiar!" Xu Taiping shook his head, and then continued to look at the center of the photo.
In the center of the photo, there is a group of elderly people.
A large part of this group of old people is female, although they look seventy or eighty years old, but their dress and overall temperament are much better than those of ordinary young people now.
Xu Taiping looked at the middle again, and at this look, Xu Taiping was stunned.
In the middle position, there is an old man with white hair.
"Why is he?!" Xu Taiping looked at the old man in shock and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Do you know this old man?" asked Song Jialing.
"How could I not know, I only went to the bar with him a few months ago!" Xu Taiping said in surprise.
"How is this possible, more than thirty years ago, this old man looked like he was eighty or ninety, how can he still be alive now, if he is still alive now, then he must be more than a hundred years old? The old man in his hundred years went to the bar with you, are you kidding me?" Song Jialing asked.
"I didn't lie to you, this old man is really, I have seen it, it is the old shoemaker in the capital who made shoes for me!" Xu Taiping said excitedly.
"The old shoemaker?" Song Jialing said in surprise, "an old shoemaker who is more than a hundred years old?"
"What the hell is going on?" Xu Taiping looked at the family photo in front of him and fell into deep thought.
"Look behind it, see if the name is written. Song Jialing said.
Xu Taiping hurriedly turned the photo around, and found that there were really names on the back of the photos, and the names were written on the back of everyone.
"These people, many of them are surnamed Zhao, have you found them?" asked Song Jialing.
"Hmm!" Xu Taiping nodded, looked at his father's position in the photo, and then flipped the photo over, and behind his father's position, he saw three words.
"Zhao Dingjun. ”
Zhao Dingjun?
Xu Taiping looked at his father's image again, and then looked at the name on the back, and determined that this name was written behind his father's image.
"How is it possible, my father's name is Zhao Dingjun? Isn't my father Xu leaving?" Xu Taiping has been completely blindfolded, he has always thought that his father called Xu Go, but now, how did he become Zhao Dingjun?
Xu Taiping suddenly remembered what Zhao Taiheng had asked him that day.
"Do you know Zhao Dingjun?"
Xu Taiping was startled and hurriedly searched for a large number of names.
Sure enough, Xu Taiping saw three names he was familiar with, and these three names were side by side, namely Zhao Taiheng, Zhao Taixun, and Zhao Taiji.
Xu Taiping looked at the images of the three people in the photo again, and sure enough, they were the three people he felt serious just now.
These three people are Zhao Taiheng, Zhao Taixun, and Zhao Taiji when they were young.
"If your father's surname is Zhao, then you should be called Zhao Taiping. You look at the names of these people in the back, these are the Zhao family, the Dingzi generation, Zhao Dingjun, Zhao Dingwei or something, and then these are the Taizi generation, Zhao Taixun, Zhao Taiji or something, you see, this makes sense, you are the Taizi generation in this family. Song Jialing said.
Xu Taiping looked at this photo with a solemn face, and the shock brought to him by this photo was absolutely beyond imagination.
"There's another letter here, take a look at it first!" Song Jialing said.
Xu Taiping nodded, put the photo aside, and then took out the letter in the envelope.
Xu Taiping cautiously opened the letter.
"Son, when you read this letter, you should have been eighteen years old, and it is time to know your origins. ”
"The photo in this envelope is a family photo of our Zhao family, and all the people on it are relatives of our family, and you and I, don't call Xu Go, call Zhao Dingjun. ”
"I left the Zhao family with your mother back then, on the one hand, because my outlook on life is different from others, on the other hand, it is also because I don't want you to grow up in such a big family, it is good to be in a big family, but it will make you less fun in life, I don't want my son to sit back and relax for the rest of his life, so I left the Zhao family with your mother and came to Chiyan Town. ”
"The place where you are now is a magical place, this is called the land of the dragon pan in feng shui, and I also searched for your mother for a long time to find this place, and then settled down. ”
"I thought that by giving birth to you in such a place, you could truly become a dragon soaring in the sky, but I didn't expect that God played such a big joke on us husband and wife, not long after you were born, your mother and I both had incurable diseases. ”
"This is really sad, because I couldn't watch you grow up and tell you everything about our Zhao family, I can only leave such a letter and such a box for you before the end of my life. ”
"When you see this letter, you can make your own choice, take the booklet without any words, go back to the Zhao family, and give the booklet to the people of the Zhao family, they will know where you come from, you can become the heir of the Zhao family, rest easy for the rest of your life, you can also act as if nothing happened, you continue to be your Xu Taiping, and live your future life in peace. ”
"That's all Dad wants to tell you, by the way, by the way, your last name comes from your mother. That's it. ”
