Ma Laoha took the letter from Taiwan from the postman's hand, and was stunned for a long time, because he did not know who would send this letter from Taiwan, all the way away, although he heard that Taiwan is now allowed to communicate with this side, but his own family has nothing to do with Taiwan for 800 lifetimes, so why would someone send this letter from Taiwan in a cold manner? Could it be that the postman sent the wrong person? There are many people with the same name and surname in this world. But the postman insisted that there was no mistake, and the recipient's address and name on the envelope were located according to the mathematical coordinates, which was Ma Laoha in this Wolong Village. The postman affirmed to Ma Laoha, and at the same time pointed to the address on the envelope and said: "Along the donkey pile in Caomiao County, Huai Province, six miles north of Xu Luofengpo, five miles west of Xu Wolong Village, isn't that what this Wolong Village refers to? How many Ma Laoha are there in this village? Isn't it just you one Ma Laoha, and there is a second Ma Laoha?"

Ma Laoha didn't know what the coordinates were, and the postman was so sure that the letter was not sent by mistake. His body shook suddenly, and he immediately handed the letter in his hand to the postman again, and said in a panic: "Where did you send this letter, you can return it, anyway, our family can't accept this letter, don't make any more movement in the future, this letter will become a proof that our family is an undercover counterrevolutionary agent." ”

The postman smiled and pushed back Ma Laoha's hand and said: "Taiwan and this side have not communicated for many years, and now that the policy allows, there are many letters from Taiwan, not just your family." The policy allows communication, and the state will no longer talk about it. Besides, there has been no correspondence in these years, and if there are any relatives in Taiwan, I don't know what kind of thoughts they will have in these years. Just look at who wrote this letter to your family, you said that your family has nothing to do with that side, maybe you haven't been in touch for all these years, and you have forgotten it. With that, the postman pushed his donkey and got on the donkey's leg and walked away.

"Grandpa, just open the letter and take a look, what are you still wondering about? If the country keeps making movements, the social productive forces will not be able to develop, and the country will be able to see farther than we can see. Seeing that Ma Laoha was still afraid of holding the letter in his hand, Jin Hammer next to him immediately grabbed Ma Laoha, and took the letter from Ma Laoha's hand casually, carefully tore open the envelope, and took out the letter from inside. After he unfolded the letter, he was dumbfounded, the paper was full of traditional characters, and after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't even recognize a few. However, from the title and signature of the letter, he immediately concluded that the letter was written by his grandfather's younger brother, who had been taken hostage by the bandits.

When Ma Laoha heard that it was his brother's letter, he was stunned, and immediately snatched the letter from the hand of the golden hammer, and his eyes were close to the letter in his hand, and his whole body began to tremble. It's been decades, and even the dead father and mother think that their younger brother is no longer in this world, so why would he suddenly be in that place in Taiwan today! If the father and mother knew that their youngest son was still alive, I don't know how happy they would be. He didn't know any of the words on the letter, but at this time he seemed to see the appearance of his brother decades ago, and the old tears in his eyes also rushed out of his eyes and fell on the letter in his hand crackling. Now that my younger brother is in his sixties, he should be a big family full of children and grandchildren. What does my younger brother look like now? Is his body still very strong? Is he planting land well in Taiwan? Is he living a solid life? Is his children and grandchildren very filial to his younger brother? Is it that the land has also been transferred to households over there?

Strictly speaking, the bandits entering the village in the twenty-third year of the Min Kingdom is not considered a broken village. If the bandits really break the village, the old and young masters in the village will be miserable. Take Guojiazhai in the west as an example, after the bandits set up artillery to break through the village, they burned, killed and looted, and the entire village was almost wiped out. There were more than 2,000 people in the whole village, and the bandits were almost wiped out, and more than 20 people survived. That time the bandits entered Wolong Village, another story. At that time, Zhang Lao Donkey's grandfather had no positive nature, and he acted as an insider for the bandits, for the money transferred from Ma Guohai's Ma family's tofu mill. If only the money transferred out of the Ma family's tofu mill, the bandits are not worth entering the village, but they don't know where the bandits went to eat big that night, so they took it into Wolong Village by the way. The bandits didn't expect Wolong Village to be so thin, and they didn't have anything to do, so they took a few hostages with them when they were talking. If it weren't for the fact that the big boss of the gang of bandits still had a little relative in the stockade, the whole stockade would not have been so peaceful that time. Although the bandits showed mercy that time, Ma Guohai and his family still gave the bandits a good breath. Although decades have passed, when it comes to the bandits entering the stockade, Ma Guohai's father will still shiver vigorously, and even Ma Laoha will have a cool breath in the back of his back. After his younger brother was taken away by bandits, because he couldn't pay the ransom, Ma Laoha's father and mother cried for seven days and seven nights, and finally gritted his teeth and said with tears in his eyes that he was killed. Later, Ma Laoha followed his father and mother to several bandits who often killed people, but did not find the bones of his younger brother. Ma Laoha's father saw that he couldn't find the bones, thinking that the bones were eaten by wild dogs, so he roared with his back to the sky, and then carried Ma Laoha's mother back to the village. After that, the family stopped mentioning Ma Laoha's younger brother. After so many years, his father and mother have died early, and Ma Laoha would never have dreamed that his younger brother not only did not die, but also went to Taiwan.

Jin Hammer found a dictionary and annotated the traditional characters in the letter that he didn't know with simplified characters, but still, he didn't know why, he still stumbled and stumbled a little unsmoothly to read. The old and young masters in the village have no culture, but when they sound like such an incoherent reading, their brains are more clever than those of cultured people, and the meaning of the letter is accurately understood. If a literate person listens to someone stumbling over the method like this, he will have to ponder for a while before he can figure out what it means.

Brother Tai:

In the blink of an eye, I have been away from home for nearly 60 years, and I am afraid that my parents have passed away, but I don't know if you are still alive?

If you reply to the letter, I will take my children back to my hometown to eliminate the pain of homesickness for many years!

Looking back on the past, I was full of emotion! When I was plundered, the bandit leader's mother-in-law saw that I was clever, adopted as a son, and changed her surname to Cao, and she is still doing it

Cao.

Later, due to the internal strife in the bandits' nest and also because of the murderous people in the east, several of us abandoned the bandits and joined the army, and moved to the war with the national army, and were promoted several times and became officials

Lieutenant Colonel. The Eastern Japanese War surrendered, and after three years of civil war, he came here with the army to avoid his life. Now that I have stepped down from my post and am in a comfortable situation.

Thanks to the easing of relations between the two parties, I took this opportunity to communicate with my hometown, and I said too much, I don't know what to say, and I was busy and chaotic

Chapter, brother, please don't laugh!

Brother Zhengwen kowtows

April 7, 1988

The old and young masters in the village listened to the letter read by Jin Hammer, looked at each other, frowned and guessed to each other how big an official the lieutenant colonel would be, whether it should be similar to the county master. However, none of them knew what the rank of lieutenant colonel was.

Ma Laoha listened to his brother's letter, and he didn't care what kind of official title his brother had, but he knew that his brother was still alive, so he immediately shouted for Jin Hammer to find a pen and paper to write a reply letter to his brother.

"There are still such kind-hearted people in the world, who come back to find the poor root when they get rich? Maybe they are messing up over there and putting a layer of powder on their faces. Jin Hammer Niang, who had been standing silently and listening to Jin Hammer read the letter, saw Ma Laoha asking Jin Hammer to write a reply letter to Taiwan, and immediately pouted as if the soles of her shoes were torn, "When the time comes, if he really receives the letter and comes back with a large family, where will he keep them? Besides, no one can guarantee that there will be no movement in the future, and I don't want this family to be involved in anything because of this." ”

When the old and young masters heard the Golden Hammer Lady say this, they immediately widened their eyes and looked at each other, this Golden Hammer Niang is really, and it is too unreasonable, and they are afraid that the Taiwan side will come back and the family will eat their food, so they blocked the reply to the Taiwan side. You know, the Taiwan side may not be looking forward to Ma Laoha's reply.

Ma Laoha's words to the golden hammer lady suddenly made his heart cold, and the joy in his heart was blocked in his heart. He glanced back at the Golden Hammer Lady, and was running into the two corners of the Golden Hammer Lady's lips and the rolling of her eyes. Suddenly, he felt that his entire chest was blocked like a stone, and the blood on his entire body was rushing to his head. This man is old, and he can't do anything anymore! He felt that his eyes were dark, his whole head was confused, and his whole body collapsed with a few limps.

Ma Laoha's thin son Ma Gong'er saw that Ma Laoha was angry because of Jin Hammer Niang's words, and glared at Jin Hammer Niang twice, and immediately ran over and squatted down, busy pushing Ma Laoha's acupoints, rubbing his pulses, and pinching his eyes. Golden Hammer also panicked, shouting "Grandpa" one after another. The old and young masters next to him also followed to help, pulled their arms and pulled them back, calling Ma Laoha.

Seeing that she had caused trouble, Jin Hammer Niang pursed her lips again, rolled her eyes twice, looked at Ma Laoha in her eyes, and retreated back to the house.

The old and young masters helped for a while, but they still didn't see Ma Laoha wake up, so they shouted and rushed to the hospital. At this time, someone had already dragged the frame car, pulled off Ma Laoha's cover and spread it on the frame car, and lifted Ma Laoha up with all hands and feet. However, after the people sent Ma Laoha to the hospital, the gentleman in the hospital rolled Ma Laoha's two eyelids, touched Ma Laoha's two veins, and then shook his head and said that there was no cure.

Ma Laoha's thin son Ma Gong'er heard the gentleman in the hospital say that Ma Laoha was dead, and immediately let go of his throat, and cried like a wolf, and his father looked very sad with a mother.

Two of the old and young men came over and set up the horse pole, and then pulled Ma Laoha back to the stockade together. In fact, the old and young masters know in their hearts that Ma Laoha is honest and kind, he only knows how to work and eat, and there is no leisure in the wind and rain, and he has not spoken loudly to the old and young masters all his life. After beating Ma Laoha gradually got older, he still picked what he could pick and choose from their family, and he still carried it to their family. It is said that good people do not have a long life, and it is not false at all, a good person like Ma Laoha has such a ploppy daughter-in-law, and he does not treat him well. No, I my daughter-in-law to death.

Seeing that Ma Laoha was dead, Jin Hammer Niang immediately tore out her throat and cried loudly, tears like springs, tears like rain, "Dad, mother" screamed loudly, slapped the ground and fell on the head, paused for shortness, and was filial piety.

This person is really like this, no matter what kind of grievances he received when he was alive, he blinked and stared, and the treatment he should receive when he was alive came all at once. You look at Ma Laoha, when he was alive, he had to guard his daughter-in-law's white eyes when he was alive, and this death was a blessing, just the offerings, the big fish and big meat were put on the table, and there were many things that he Ma Laoha had not seen when he was alive. Look at the filial sons and grandsons of the mourning nephews, the crying fathers, the crying fathers, the calling of the fathers, the crying and screaming are one after another, which is very tragic. Coupled with the horn that was blowing vigorously in the middle of the hanging, it was lively. If Ma Laoha could see such a scene at this time, he should be relieved.
