Chapter 1: Uncle Mei dies

Chen Mo was an orphan, and Uncle Mei told him that he was an orphan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Since he can remember, Chen Mo has not had the concept of "parents" in his worldview, only that Uncle Mei brought him up. Regarding his life experience, Uncle Mei refused to say, and Chen Mo was not interested in knowing how tortuous this story was.

According to the village chief, Chen Mo's father was a madman, and his father hacked Chen Mo to death shortly after his mother-in-law gave birth to him, and he was found drowned in the river soon after. In the village chief's statement, Chen Mo's mother was sold to his father's house by traffickers, but Uncle Mei has always tried his best to deny this statement, saying that his mother loves his father, and his mother also loves him.

Maybe what the village chief said was true, but Chen Mo didn't care. They gave Chen Mo life, which was already a great favor, and he would not ask for anything else and complain about anything. Being able to be human is a blessing in itself.

Uncle Mei lives in a small village, but his house is huge. Uncle Mei was a soldier when he was young, and the house was built by the government, and it was built on the old house of Uncle Mei's family. Since he can remember, Uncle Mei in Chen Mo's eyes has been very nostalgic. He seems to prefer to stay at home alone and plant instead of going to a comrade-in-arms.

Uncle Mei's surname is Mei, his name is Haichen, he ranks seventh in the family, and the people in the village call him Mei Laoqi, or more simply and smoothly "Mei Qi". But his comrades-in-arms called him "Third Brother". I heard Uncle Mei say that he had worshiped two people who had made meritorious contributions, and he was the lowest, so he was called the "third". Those who are younger than him call him 'third brother', which is actually a respect for the two.

Uncle Mei didn't like this title very much, but Chen Mo felt that the third child was definitely much more elegant than the second child.

Of course, maybe Uncle Mei wanted to be the boss back then, so he was dissatisfied with this title. However, it is estimated that Uncle Mei himself can't remember why he hates this title so much, it's been too long.

Chen Mo knew very well that Uncle Mei was one of the very few people who really cared about him. It is precisely because of this that Chen Mo will not dare to go back. Originally, he wanted to return home with a hard work, and Uncle Mei would not blame himself for being expelled from school, but after a few years, he was still the same, which made Chen Mo more and more afraid to return to this place he was most familiar with.

This fear is very unjustified and very stupid. Therefore, Chen Mo felt that he was very sorry for Uncle Mei.

He went to the bank and withdrew all the more than 30,000 yuan, and then immediately bought a ticket. Before that, I went back to the place I originally rented and took the computer that I bought for more than 20,000 yuan. Although Chen Mo didn't care if most of the items were there, if he threw them away...... He really felt a little distressed.

Uncle Mei's hometown is in the countryside, very close to the county seat, Chen Mo got off the train and took a taxi to the village.

Uncle Mei lives at the entrance of the village, although Chen Mo has not been here for a few years and is a little unfamiliar with the current situation, he is not so bad that he can even remember such a short road.

Uncle Mei's house is very large, especially in the countryside that is not very wealthy. The house is three storeys high and has a small attic with a roof outside the attic. In addition, there is a large basement that is used as a wine cellar. Uncle Mei doesn't know how to make wine, but the wine cellar is always full, and every year someone comes to deliver wine to Uncle Mei at the beginning of the year.

Now, Chen Mo may still have a little fear in his heart, but he can't stop his determination to enter the house.

No matter what Uncle Mei's reaction is, even if he wants to kick himself out, he must accept it.

After all...... It's all your own choice.

Just as Chen Mo was about to approach, he suddenly heard someone calling him-

"Are you...... Chen Mo!? The voice was familiar, and the tone was mixed with surprise and suspicion.

The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman, dressed very simply, but she looked very beautiful with her appearance and temperament.

"Aunt Wang, it's me, I'm back." Chen Mo was not used to smiling, but he still showed a smile.

"Is it really you?" With a hint of suspicion in her tone, Aunt Wang stepped forward and touched Chen Mo's face, and after carefully examining it for a while, she finally confirmed Chen Mo's identity satisfactorily, and the suspicion in her tone was replaced by affirmation: "It's really you!" How long has it been since you've been back? How do you still know to come back!? ā€

Chen Mo began to be a little helpless about Aunt Wang's actions, and when he heard her tone quickly switch from cordial, emotional, and angry, he didn't know how to respond for a while, and lowered his head with some guilt.

Aunt Wang saw that Chen Mo's mood was very low, and she thought of that incident again, and the anger towards Chen Mo in her heart suddenly disappeared, and she felt a little distressed. sighed and stepped forward to hug Chen Mo.

"Okay, okay, just come back, don't think too much, Aunt Wang won't blame you."

Chen Mo didn't like physical contact with people since he was a child, so he gently pushed Aunt Wang away, shook his head and said, "You should blame me, then I might feel better." ā€

Aunt Wang glanced at Chen Mo, a little dissatisfied: "Silly boy, what are you talking about!" ā€

Chen Mo smiled, turned his head to look at the closed courtyard door, and asked, "Is Uncle Mei at home?" Or went out fishing? ā€

Aunt Wang's heart sank, staring at Chen Mo's face that had already highlighted her maturity, and she didn't know whether to tell him about it.

Chen Mo saw that Aunt Wang's expression was not quite right, and smiled a little strangely: "What's wrong?" Did he go up to the mountains to hunt today? ā€

Sooner or later, I'll have to know, and if I tell him, I might be able to make it easier for him. Then ...... Tell him!

Aunt Wang's heart sank, looked directly into Chen Mo's eyes, and plucked up the courage to say, "Your Uncle Mei, he ...... It's dead. ā€

What the?

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, and then frowned.

I just came back...... Aunt Wang was still angry with herself not long ago...... The door of Uncle Mei's house was closed...... This sentence could not have been a joke, or some kind of shoddy prank. That is to say...... Uncle Mei really passed away.

"You...... You okay? Aunt Wang looked at Chen Mo, who was silent, and felt a little distressed.

Chen Mo exhaled and shook his head, his expression looking very calm: "What's the matter?" Uncle Mei is very strong, how could he die? ā€

"That was a few years ago...... At that time, you were going to school, and on the morning of the holiday, your Uncle Mei was going to the mountains to catch two rabbits to get you some game, but a wild boar came from nowhere on the mountain that day...... We didn't know what to tell you about it, who would have thought you wouldn't come back that afternoon. The village chief went to your school, and the school said that you were expelled for fighting, and I don't know where you went, and we thought you had an accident......" Aunt Wang said with emotion what happened back then, for her this incident has been too long, and the two of them are not related to each other, so there is not too much emotion. It wasn't until she finished speaking that she noticed that Chen Mo lowered his head and was silent without saying a word.

Before, Aunt Wang thought that Chen Mo was silent, but Chen Mo was thinking about whether what she said was true or false. And now she felt that Chen Mo was silent, and Chen Mo was indeed silent as she thought.

"You...... Okay? Aunt Wang was a little anxious and said something very stupid.

"It's fine." Chen Mo gasped again, he felt a little stuffy.

This is very fake, but Aunt Wang is not stupid enough to say something like "how can you be okay".

The two were silent for a while, and finally Aunt Wang broke the silence and reluctantly showed a smile and said, "Uncle Mei has no children and no daughters under his knees, so he adopted a child like you, and this house should be yours." Let's go, follow me to the village chief to get the key, the things inside are still untouched, you can pack up and go in. ā€

Seriously, Chen Mo felt that he didn't have this qualification.

But he is the one who knows Uncle Mei best, and he knows very well that Uncle Mei has no family, and only he is qualified to inherit his inheritance. Besides, this is just a house, as long as there is a place to live, Chen Mo doesn't care where he lives.

Chen Mo nodded and said hello.

Hearing his promise, Aunt Wang's smile became much more sincere: "Don't worry, the village chief shouldn't be at home now." You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Go to my house to eat, Uncle Wang will definitely be happy to know that you are back. By the way, you remember Xinyi, right? She is also a senior in high school, a lot taller than before! ā€

Aunt Wang smiled and reached out to rub Chen Mo's hair, the originally neat black hair became a little messy, but it was also more natural. Or rather...... Cordial. This made his otherwise expressionless face appear a little gentler.
