"Mom, I really helped you at that time, without you, I would have died a long time ago!" Seeing Zheng Wenshu recalling the past, Xiao Mei's tears flowed out again. She said it was from her heart. Although I was not very old at the time, I still vividly remember that because I was separated from my parents and frightened, I often cried along the way, even when I was dormant in the fields. Several times, someone threatened Zheng Wenshu to throw her away, saying that she couldn't expose everyone's stealth because of her crying, and attract the wolf dogs and bayonets of the Japanese soldiers. It wasn't that Zheng Wenshu was stubborn and held her tightly in her arms, she was very likely to be snatched and thrown away by those people. To this day, she vaguely remembers the scene at that time, recalling the warm embrace that Zheng Wenshu gave her with a great sense of security.

"This is your life!" recalling the past, Zheng Wenshu was very emotional. She thinks that the fate of people is also very magical, and there are many things that are really unexpected.

After following the rolling refugees to the rear, due to the news from the front that it was the Chinese army that withstood the attack of the Japanese soldiers, Zheng Wenshu and Cen Shilei stopped here together. Just when she was worried about how to find her relatives for Mei Wazi, a miracle happened. On this day, when she took Mei Wazi and Hui Min to the refugee shelter again to inquire about the news, she unexpectedly met Mei Wazi's uncle. He had come here to look for her.

"Uncle!" In the bustling crowd, Mei Wazi found her relatives at a glance and rushed over.

"Mei Wazi, why are you here?" Seeing Mei Wazi, my uncle couldn't believe his eyes, "Do you know how many places we have looked for you and how many people we have asked?"

"I came with my mother. ”

When my uncle heard this, he was shocked. But when Mei Wazi pulled him in front of Zheng Wenshu, he was puzzled, and the look in his eyes was clearly puzzled.

Zheng Wenshu knew what he was thinking, so he briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, and then said that since Mei Wazi had found her uncle, let her follow him home.

Hearing this, and seeing that her niece and Zheng Wenshu were obviously very close, Uncle Mei Wazi was very moved. He thanked him vigorously, and when he parted, he also asked Zheng Wenshu's name and address before fleeing in detail, saying that he would come to thank Mei Wazi's parents after the war subsided.

But what the uncle didn't expect was that when he broke up with Zheng Wenshu and Huimin with Mei Wazi, the little guy was reluctant to leave his mother, sister and grandmother, crying loudly, hugging Zheng Wenshu's body and refusing to let go.

Looking at this, Zheng Wenshu felt a little sad in her heart. To be honest, I ran away with her for almost three months, and I also had feelings, thinking that she was my daughter, but when I thought that my father had an uncle, my mother had an uncle, and now that her uncle had found her and made it clear that he would take her home, there was no reason not to reunite them.

Thinking of this, Zheng Wenshu squatted down, took off the long-lived Buddha worn with red silk thread from Huimin's neck, put it on Mei Wazi, and said to her: "Mei Wazi, it's a good thing to find your uncle, you better go back first, reunite with your family, and then come to see Mother Zheng." Here's a thought for you. ”

Mei Wazi still didn't want to go, but she also knew that she had to leave if she didn't want to, after all, her uncle came to pick her up. Therefore, he could only wipe his tears and turn back step by step, until he finally couldn't see Zheng's mother and Huimin's sister.

……

At this moment, looking at the Buddha of Longevity in his hand, and at Xiao Mei, who was vaguely similar to back then, Zheng Wenshu sighed with emotion. She never thought that the other party would come over, and in her, she had already sealed this past in the deepest part of her consciousness.

"You-" she asked, retracting her thoughts.

"After I separated from you, I followed my uncle back to my hometown. Unfortunately, his parents were never found, and his uncle later fell seriously ill and died. It's a shame that my aunt didn't abandon me, even though she treated me much worse than her son. After a few years, we were liberated there. I was sent to school by the government. In 1951, when I was 16 years old, I joined the army and went to North Korea as a health soldier. After the Korean armistice, others made an introduction, the other party's surname is Liu, is an old Red Army, 30 years old that is, when he was thirteen years old, he ran out with He Long, after returning from North Korea, he has been working in Beijing, this time he was transferred to the provincial military district here as a deputy commander. He was much older than me, but he was very good to me. ”

"Good, good. Hearing this, Zheng Wenshu was very surprised and very happy.

"But these are all from you," Hearing Zheng Wenshu say this, Xiao Mei became excited again, "Without you saving me, how would I have survived to this day, and how could I join the army and meet my current husband?"

"That's still your fate!" Hearing her say this, Zheng Wenshu sighed again. At the same time, she remembered something: "You don't have any news from your parents?"

"Nope. Xiao Mei shook her head, "I have searched many times, and Lao Liu also helped to find it, not only to the scattered places, but also to the places where I used to live, even the grandmother's house that they originally told me also went to inquire." ”

"Did you find it?"

"Nope. When Xiao Mei heard this, her face was full of regret, "At that time, there was a shortage of soldiers, planes in the sky were bombing wildly, you stepped on me on the ground, I stepped on you, and most of them were no longer alive." After a pause, he said, "Not only my parents, but you, I have searched for it many times, but I have never found it." This time I went back to my hometown with Lao Liu to visit relatives, and when I turned around, he went to visit his old comrades-in-arms who lived in the countryside of Lichuan. ”

Hearing Xiao Mei say this, Zheng Wenshu's heart moved: Could it be Feng Shuhua? No wonder two days ago she said that her father had a distinguished guest, and she wanted to go home to help receive her.

"Mom!" Seeing that Zheng Wenshu was a little distracted, Xiao Mei called.

"Oh, look at me. Zheng Wenshu came back to her senses and saw that Xiao Mei was still standing, so she said apologetically: "I only cared about talking, and I didn't even let you drink a sip of water." So saying, he let her into the house, pulled her over the chair, and poured her a cup of tea.

"Mom, don't be busy. Xiao Mei thanked her and looked at the house with her eyes. When I saw the pictures on the wall, I walked over. After looking at it for a while, he said, "This is your child, who looks like a top spirit—by the way, this is Sister Huimin, I heard that there are children." ”

"Yes," Zheng Wenshu felt very useful when she heard Xiao Mei mention her children, but when she followed the direction of her finger and saw Cen Huanian in the photo, her heart became gloomy again.

"Are you worried about your father?" Xiao Mei is such a smart person, she can see at a glance what Zheng Wenshu is thinking at this time, and hurriedly comforted: "I heard what Lao Liu's comrade-in-arms said about him, isn't it that he had some family property before liberation, and he also had an uncle in Taiwan? How big is this? Let me tell you, our old Liu has a comrade-in-arms, his brother is a Kuomintang, or some kind of supervisory commissioner, and he still participates in the revolution as a political commissar, and he has been awarded the rank of major general in five or five years, just like Lao Liu. After a pause, he said, "Believe my daughter, this matter will pass soon." Dad is an honest man and there will be no problems. ”

"Big sister, this is going to borrow your auspicious words. Hearing her say this, Mrs. Cen, who had already stopped washing, walked into the house and thanked her repeatedly.

"The old man is—" Xiao Mei looked at Old Lady Cen and asked Zheng Wenshu.

"It's my mother-in-law. Zheng Wenshu hurriedly introduced.

"Oh, I'm clumsy, I didn't see it," Xiao Mei heard this, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, I'm really sorry to disturb you early in the morning." ”

"Look, it's a blessing for you to come. Old Lady Cen said from the bottom of her heart.

"Grandma's words are serious, Xiao Mei can't afford it. If you are welcome, I will come to see your family whenever I have time, you know, until now, I have not seen my father. ”

"Actually, you've seen it. When Zheng Wenshu heard this, she remembered the past again.

"I've seen it?" Xiao Mei was a little surprised.

"It's the one who helped me carry you away when I was fleeing. ”

"Really?" Hearing this, Xiao Mei was even more surprised.

"To say, you are still your mother's matchmaker. Hearing her daughter-in-law say this, Mrs. Cen was also a little excited. Although she is old, she still has an impression of this past. She still remembers the scene when her wife insisted that her son marry Zheng Wenshu. According to him, it is difficult for such a kind and capable woman to walk with a lantern. Now it seems that my wife does have a vision. Without Zheng Wenshu, Hua Nian and this family really don't know what it will become, and whether the Cen family will have well-behaved and obedient children such as pragmatic, cutting-edge and Limin.

"Oh, I really didn't expect this!" Listening to Mrs. Cen's chatter, Xiao Mei felt very novel. At that moment, she felt that human fate was so magical: an escape and rescue not only gave her a loving mother, but also a lifelong companion.
