The second grandfather and the village party secretary stood at the door of our house and watched for a while, and then the village party secretary entered the yard of my grandfather's house, and at this time the grandfather was bowing his head to feed the sheep, and he didn't know what was going on. The village party secretary of the www.biquge.info village walked up to his grandfather, leaned over to his grandfather and said, "Uncle Yang, you have a visitor." When Grandpa saw that the village party secretary was coming, he quickly stopped and asked with a puzzled face: "Who is coming?" ”

The village party secretary looked mysterious, he shrugged his shoulders, and then said with a smile: "Just wait at the door, you can go out and have a look!" ”

Grandpa wiped his dirty hands on his clothes, and then walked to the door, and saw two people standing next to the car, that is, my second grandfather and the man in the suit, grandpa walked over, stared at the second grandfather, looked up and down, but did not speak.

At this time, the second grandfather had begun to tremble, his eyes were moist, and then he began to sob, the man in the suit hurriedly helped him, and then the second grandfather shouted: "Brother, I'm back!" "It's the first time I've seen an old man in such a state, because I thought people wouldn't cry when they grew up.

After listening to the words of the second grandfather, the grandfather still didn't figure out what was going on, because the concept of the younger brother had long been blurred in his memory, after all, 49 years had passed, and he had changed from a young man to an old man on the verge of death over the years, he had experienced too much movement and deception, and he had tasted the sweets and colds, and now as long as he lived a dull life, he could no longer withstand any waves. Grandpa said, "Who are you?" ”

The second grandfather was already crying silently at this time, and he could barely stand with the support of the man in the suit, and he said in our dialect: "Brother, I'm Xifeng!" Your younger brother in Taiwan! Don't you remember? ”

Grandpa was a little confused at this time, he may have realized what was happening, but he was still conservative in the spirit of suspicion, and asked softly: "Xifeng, are you Xifeng in Taiwan?" ”

The second grandfather wiped his tears and said excitedly: "Brother, I'm Xifeng, I'm back!" ”

At this time, grandpa was like a different person, he instantly let go of his conservatism and caution, rushed forward and hugged the second grandfather tightly, the two brothers hugged their heads and cried, seeing them crying, I also cried, and after a while, there were more and more onlookers, but everyone didn't know what happened. In this way, the two brothers hugged and cried for half an hour.

They were tired of crying, and then they helped each other to walk to the grandfather's grass house, the environment was not much different from fifty years ago, the grandfather turned on the incandescent lamp that had been used for many years, and the dim light reflected the faces of the old brothers and the vicissitudes of life, they sat on the bed that the grandfather used to hold hands tightly, and told each other the pain of missing in the Taierzhuang dialect, which was touching and tearful.

The man in the suit did not follow them into his grandfather's grass house, he began to speak to the crowd of onlookers outside the courtyard: "Ladies and gentlemen, today Yang Xifeng, a person from this village who has been in Taiwan for many years, returns to his hometown, and I represent the Zaozhuang Municipal Party Committee. The War Department welcomed his return, and his return is only one of the representatives of thousands of wanderers who have abandoned the dark and turned to the light, which fully proves the fruitful achievements made in the construction of socialism with our characteristics......"

It turned out that this person wearing a suit was the municipal party committee. The people from the war department, he spoke for about three hours, there were few people in the audience, and it was almost dark, he went into the courtyard and said hello to my second grandfather and drove away.

Dinner was held at my house, this time all the members of the Yang family arrived, as well as uninvited cadres such as the branch secretary and the director of the village committee, the scene was huge in scale and lively.

My father and uncle borrowed all the tables, chairs and benches from the neighbors, and then took the money given by the second grandfather to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town to buy vegetables, and then invited the master of our village to take charge of the cooking, which can be said to be extremely rich.

I ate three chickens and five fish in one go, drank eight bowls of mutton soup by the way, and also served six steamed buns to eat, and finally ate half full, so I am very much looking forward to the second grandfather coming back often in the future.

I ate there silently, and our village party secretary began to stand up and speak, at which point everyone put down their chopsticks and listened quietly.

The village party secretary said: "First of all, on behalf of the two village committees, I would like to welcome the return of Comrade Yang Xifeng; under the strong leadership of the central authorities, our Chinese society has begun to change, set off a new upsurge in the construction of socialism, and breakthroughs have been made in various undertakings; both the mainland and Taiwan have adhered to the consensus of '92 and held high the great banner of the motherland's reunification. The village party secretary stressed: "Comrade Yang Xifeng has been painfully tortured in Taiwan, oppressed by the Kuomintang authorities, and is in dire straits at every moment, and we sympathize with this. Now, on behalf of all the villagers, I would like to ask Comrade Yang Xifeng to give full play to his personal energy to help us build roads and schools, improve basic medical construction, and support poverty and benefit Sangzi. ”

The village party secretary's speech was met with bursts of applause, and then he asked the second grandfather to say a few words, and the second grandfather said very shyly: "Thank you for your sympathy, I will help you build your hometown." ”

The second grandfather's words were very concise, everyone didn't realize that he had finished speaking, so no one applauded, and the scene fell into a quiet state, five minutes later, the village party secretary couldn't hold it back, and asked the second grandfather: "Second uncle, you continue to speak, we are all waiting!" ”

The second grandfather shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm done!" ”

Hearing this, thunderous applause began at the scene.

A few days later, under the contact of my father, the construction team began to enter our village, building roads and schools and other things were carried out in an orderly manner, at the same time, my grandfather accompanied the second grandfather to worship the ancestral grave, and then visited the old people who were still alive in the village, and they would stay for a long time everywhere.

Later, the second grandfather moved to Zaozhuang, the United Front of the Municipal Party Committee. The ministry arranged for him to work as a consultant, but also determined the treatment of veteran cadres, and was elected as a member of the CPPCC, as a returnee from Taiwan, for the construction of his hometown to make suggestions and suggestions, and also provide economic support, it can be said that he has once again reached the peak of life, and realized the value of life to serve the people.

Since the second grandfather lived in Zaozhuang, there was an endless stream of people in our village who asked him to do things, some asked to find a job, some asked to borrow some money, and the second grandfather would try his best to meet it at the beginning, and then after there were more such things, he would become overwhelmed and began to choose to shirk. But people's desires are always difficult to satisfy, just like the old saying, grain rice for grace, bear rice for revenge. Some people in the village began to ignore the school built by the second grandfather for the road built in their hometown, and took it for granted, and even asked the second grandfather to do more and help more people.

Sir, when I was a teenager, I once went to my second grandfather's house as a guest, and my second grandfather told me this thing.

He said: "A person's poverty is not terrible, what is terrible is that the poor habitually take advantage of the rich and take it for granted, and then the rich are not stupid, so this kind of person is already poor to the bone, hopeless."

In 2015. The second grandfather died and was buried in Beishan of Zaozhuang.
