Shui Qing and Yingzi helped Mao back to the room and came out to ask what was going on. Die'er and Xiaolu didn't dare to tell the past without Mao's consent, so they could only tell what happened just now.
Shui Qing was silent for a while and said: "Grandma's heart has been hidden for many years, and it is our children and grandchildren who have not done it well enough. β
Wei Ting was a little embarrassed next to him, but more guilty and uneasy, and wanted to comfort and say something, but found that the language was so barren. I didn't expect that my unintentional words would make this kind old man suffer such a blow.
Die'er and Xiaolu went in to accompany Mao's family, looking at the grandmother who was full of energy every day at this time, she was like a few years old, and her eyes became gloomy every day, and she was very distressed.
Die'er suddenly remembered the dog-blood TV series she had watched, in which the recognition of relatives generally did not go smoothly because of too long and the name change, so it increased the difficulty of finding relatives, should grandma be the same?
Die'er didn't dare to let Mao experience the pain of hope and disappointment again, so she decided to go out and ask the handsome guy a few questions. He gave Xiao Lu a look and motioned for her to appease her grandmother.
After coming out, Yingzi was busy lighting the lamp and preparing dinner, and Shui Qing was still chatting with Wei Tingtian.
The autumn night came very early, and the home in Beijing was already brightly lit, and the two small kerosene lamps flickering on the table could not even see Shui Qing's face clearly. The darkness of the unfamiliar environment made people feel particularly insecure, and Wei Ting sat on the stool and writhed uneasily. Shui Qing herself was also chatting absent-mindedly, and she didn't notice the uneasiness of the person opposite.
When Die'er came out, the two chatted nonsense without embarrassment. I also felt funny when I saw it, and asked him if he wanted to see the bamboo forest in the evening, which was another beautiful scenery, and Wei Ting happily went.
As the sun sets, a gust of fragrant wind raises pieces of bamboo leaves, and the distant smell of thousands of miles of incense rolls up the bamboo fragrance, and Wei Ting can't help but take a deep breath. Dense bamboo forests sway in the wind. The rustling collision makes people feel like they want to try, dancing with the elves in the forest.
Butterfly listened to the wind with a thunderbolt. Walking into the depths of the bamboo forest, the soft bamboo leaves make people always worry about whether they will fall into it, and the deeper they go, the more silent the night. That tranquility cleanses the impetuosity of the heart. Three or two fireflies have begun to fly around. With the light leaking from the bamboo leaves, the bowl of lotus flowers all over the ground is like a crystal clear snow-capped mountain white lotus.
"It's beautiful." Wei Ting didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of waking up such a night.
"It's beautiful, but I rarely go into the bamboo forest at this time." Die'er looked back and smiled, and smiled back, Bai Meisheng said that this is the elf in the forest.
Wei Ting sighed in his heart, the three-year-old girl's body is so intoxicating to combine purity and charm. Dressed in a small floral skirt, the butterflies on it can be completely fake, and it will fly away with the little person in front of you at any time. The bamboo forest exudes an intoxicating psychedelic charm in the night. Wei Ting was deeply trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself......
"Why? What a waste if you don't appreciate such beauty! Wei Ting was surprised.
"It's too late. Mom and Dad don't feel safe, and it's usually a time for the family to eat and talk. Die'er's words made Wei Ting feel so cold, but when he thought about it, wasn't it his arrival that disturbed their family fun?
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to." Wei Ting apologized.
"Needless to apologize, I still want to thank you, maybe your arrival can really help my grandmother open the knot in her heart." Butterfly turned to look at him and said.
"Me? How do I open it? What kind of knot? Wei Ting was confused.
"Is that portrait you said really resemble my grandmother?" Butterfly asked.
Wei Ting thought for a while and said: "Actually, the memory is really a long time ago, but that incident impressed me deeply, so as soon as I saw your grandmother today, the memory blurted out of my mouth." β
"Does Brother Weiting's grandfather have any other name besides his current name?" Die'er said.
"Other names? Our Liu family is not shallow in the capital, and I haven't heard that grandpa has other identities! Wei Ting said in surprise.
"Really? Has the Liu family always been in Beijing before? What's your grandmother's name? Does she look like my grandmother? Die'er thought about whether it would be her grandmother's daughter who married into the Liu family, and finally a series of things happened.
"My grandma? Her name is Song Wen, she doesn't look like her, what do you want to ask? The more Wei Ting listened, the more confused he became.
A bucket of ice water was poured directly from head to toe, and Butterfly also enjoyed the taste of a handful. Wei Ting saw that she was silent for a long time, and the sky was dark, so he didn't understand what she was thinking, so he simply squatted in front of her and asked, "What do you want to ask?" Just ask. β
"I've already asked everything I want to know. Your grandmother doesn't look like the person in the portrait at all. Butterfly came back to her senses.
"Done? I asked. Are you looking for someone? Wei Ting asked.
"How do you know?" Die'er grabbed Wei Ting, today's mood fluctuates too much, it seems that tomorrow will have to extend the meditation time.
"Aren't all the questions you ask telling me about this? Who are you looking for? Wei Ting asked.
"Looking for my grandmother's daughter, during the war years, the mother and daughter were separated." Butterfly doesn't have a good airway.
"Oh, it was common for relatives to be separated in those days, and my grandfather was also looking for his sister, and he didn't give up for fifty or sixty years. This time, we were looking for my aunt and grandmother, so we went to your store by accident. Wei Ting sat on the bamboo leaves, squatting too hard.
"Oh, wait, looking for his sister? Are you talking about the portrait of your grandfather's sister? Butterfly exclaimed again.
"Yes, my grandfather is a baby, and we grew up listening to my aunt's stories. Grandpa always said that his aunt and grandmother were the treasures of their family, and they lost it like this, and the whole family was like losing their hearts, and it took many years to recover. Wei Ting said.
"Your grandfather only had one lost sister, right? And then I found this. I understood correctly, right? Butterfly screamed again.
"yes, what's wrong?" The second monk was puzzled. Which nerve did I touch her?
"My grandmother looks like your aunt?" Die'er was not at ease and asked again.
"Yes, Die'er, I'm about to doubt my own IQ, what the hell do you want to say!" Wei Ting is going crazy.
"My grandmother is also looking for her brother." Die'er smashed Wei Ting in a daze.
"Didn't you say you're looking for your daughter? So it's looking for my brother again? β
"She was separated from her family, thinking that her family was gone, and then she was separated from her daughter. So so many years. My grandmother is the only one in the family. Die'er finished speaking in one breath, and then looked directly at Wei Ting.
"It's not such a coincidence, is it?" Wei Ting was stunned, the person that grandpa has been looking for for decades has been met by himself like this?
"I couldn't believe it either. But the hope is true, because my grandmother has always thought about her relatives in her heart, and she is so guilty of the mistakes she once made that she left her hometown. I was never really happy. It wasn't until we parted ways that we had a little more smiles. Die'er crossed her arms and said.
"I'm going to take a good look at it, what does it matter? Grandpa has just returned to Beijing, and if he tosses back and forth again, his body will definitely not be able to stand it. Wei Ting stood up, spun in circles, and muttered to himself.
"Don't turn around. Then I turned and hit the bamboo. Before Die'er's words fell, there was a "bang". Die'er's words worked.
Wei Ting covered his head and was circled. Butterfly pulled him and walked all the way back, eager to tell her grandmother the news. It wasn't until he was about to walk to the back door that Wei Ting came to his senses, and hurriedly pulled Die'er and asked, "Are you sure you want to tell your grandmother now?" If it was just a misunderstanding, your grandmother would have been hit harder. β
"No, finding my brother is something that my grandmother has never imagined in her heart, and it feels different from finding her daughter." Butterfly cut the railway.
Wei Ting looked at the three-year-old baby in front of him, if it weren't for the immature voice reminding him all the time, he wouldn't have believed that he was talking to the three-year-old baby. In particular, her strong logical thinking and analysis of human nature, including herself, may not be able to grasp as accurately as she in many cases.
In the end, she was taken all the way to Mao's room, and when Xiaolu and Mao saw Die'er crashing into this handsome young man, they couldn't help but ask with their eyes, "What's the situation?" β
"Grandma, the painting in Brother Weiting's grandfather's study may not be your daughter, but it is you." Die'er's words were like a depth charge, blowing up Mao's meat.
The hidden affection in my heart has been covered by time to the point that I can't smell the slightest smell, but today it has been turned over again and again, and it is so vivid.
"Butterfly, do you know what you're talking about?" Mao's voice trembled.
"I know the news is shocking, but are you really sure that all the families were killed in that war? See the body? Die'er asked very bluntly.
Mao's eyes told everyone that she was pulled back into her memory again, and it felt like it took a long time for Mao to slowly come back to her senses.
"I didn't find my daughter, so I stumbled home, and my house was burned to ashes, and my next-door neighbor told me that my family couldn't get out. I searched inside for a long time, and I did find a few remains, so I thought it was them. Mao's eyes began to focus.
"So, you didn't see your loved ones killed, did you?" Die'er asked again.
"No, Die'er, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Mao's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"Grandma, I'm not 100% sure, but Wei Ting's grandfather's study does have a portrait of a woman who looks like you. The age is not much different from before and after your accident, and the most important thing is that Brother Wei Ting told me just now that his grandfather is looking for his own sister, and he has been looking for clues for more than 50 years, and he just found our town a few days ago. Die'er motioned for Wei Ting to speak.
Mao's eyes immediately glued to Wei Ting's body, and swept over his eyebrows little by little, only to find that the child in front of him really partially overlapped with the outline of his brother in his memory. Stretched out his hand and pulled him to sit beside him, and asked, "You just told me that your grandfather's name is Liu Hongwen?" Are you sure? β
"yes, that's what grandpa always called me in my memory." Wei Ting always felt that it was too hurtful to say this, but he couldn't deceive people.
"Give me a detailed description of the painting you saw, including the demeanor, costumes, and postures of the people in the painting." Mao Shi was not affected by his words at all, and asked at a faster pace.
"Well, sitting there, it seems like I'm tinkering with something in my hands, it's been so long that I really can't remember. But I was wearing a jade bracelet on my hand, which I remember very well. Because when I went to touch this bracelet, my grandfather found out that I was beaten. Wei Ting recalled.
"Die'er, you go to the cabinet and find a black wooden box with something wrapped in a blue checkered handkerchief in it, bring it to me." Mao grabbed Wei Ting with one hand, and with the other hand let Die'er follow the direction she was pointing to get something.
Everyone in the room moved their eyes to Die'er, and Xiao Lu, who had been silent, slowly moved to Mao's side, pinching her lightly and heavily.
Mao took the handkerchief in Die'er's hand, and after opening it in three or two times, everyone's eyes were straight. It's so beautiful, and Wei Ting's expression is the most exaggerated.
"This is a blood jade bracelet that I brought when I was a girl, and I took it off and kept it close to me after I got married, and my husband's family didn't know about it. This is a piece of blood jade that my brother got out of chance, and when he was eighteen years old, he carved this bracelet himself and gave it to me. Mao stroked the blood lines on the bracelet.
"Well, he is raising lotus now, which is why I came back here, a very important reason." Wei Ting replied.
"I was once beaten so badly by my father because of my obsession with carving, saying that it would affect my schoolwork. But he still likes to practice secretly, and at that time I also happened to be obsessed with making incense. This was not allowed in my father's eyes, so we both used to do these things we liked under the guise of doing each other's homework. So in those years, we have not been broken once, I made a good incense, and he practiced a good craft of carving. Die'er, go get the black box again. Mao's tears kept hanging in his eyes, turning and turning, but they didn't fall.
Open the black box, there is a small figure inside, not particularly delicate wood carving, at a glance you know that it is from the hand of an apprentice, only you can see that the carving is a person, as for the gender can not be seen at all. Mao looked at the little wooden figure in his hand, his tears could no longer be controlled, and they fell down drop by drop, and Die'er took out a handkerchief from under the pillow and handed it to Mao.
After Mao finished cleaning up his emotions, he asked softly, "Is this the bracelet on the hand of the person in the painting?" β
"Yes, because in that painting, the color of the bracelet is the most gorgeous, and it drips blood, so I can't help but reach out and touch it." Wei Ting said a little embarrassed.
"Liu Hongwen was the pseudonym when we sneaked out to play, and I was dressed as a woman. My brother often took me out to play secretly and couldn't complete the homework assigned by my master, and my father would reprimand him when he turned around. But every time I was too bored studying at home, he would still sneak me out to a friend's party, and my brother was famous for a while because of me. Every time I think of that memory, I can't help but snicker, how much he spoils me, so that he will ignore my father's scolding and ignore the master's ring ruler, and at that time, if I don't complete my homework, I will use the ring ruler to whip my palms. Mao smiled.
