Wedge 2

Back in the small courtyard, Grandma Guo was preparing lunch for Xu Zixuan.

"Grandma, don't be busy. Just let Zhang's mother make a few side dishes! Xu Zixuan looked at his grandmother's weak body and was a little unbearable.

"How's that going to work? As the saying goes: children are also guests when they are older. What's more, I can only see my grandson for a while in a year and a half, so what's wrong with getting a few more dishes? ”

Grandma Guo was busy in the kitchen for a long time, and after explaining all the details clearly, she took Xu Zixuan's hand and came to the bedroom.

"Xiao Xuan, there are some words that have been holding back in my heart for more than 20 years. In the past, I thought you would tell you when you became an adult, but then you went to the army, and your grandfather said not to affect your performance in the army, and you rarely come back, so I never had a chance to tell you. Grandma Guo took out a package from the bottom of the closet, "Do you remember when you were just sensible, you always pestered me to ask why your surname is Xu and our surname is Guo?" ”

"......" Xu Zixuan was silent, he realized that the mystery of his identity for more than 20 years was about to be revealed, and he was inevitably a little uneasy.

"At that time, you thought that you and we were not a family, and you stole the household registration book behind your grandmother and uncle's back, and quietly changed your name to Guo Zixuan......" Grandma Guo recalled.

"Well," Xu Zixuan replied softly, "Actually, whether it was then or now, my grandparents, uncles and aunts, and Xiao Guozi were all very good to me, and they never treated me as an outsider, but I was young and couldn't turn this corner......"

"Actually, you used to be called Guo Zixuan!" Grandma Guo's eyes began to turn red, "I still remember the scene when I met you with your Grandpa Guo in the Yanbian Orphanage." A 3-year-old child, but his eyes are so calm and sad. Actually, your grandfather and I only went to visit the staff and children of the orphanage that day, but after seeing you, your grandfather and I made up our minds to bring you home and give you a complete home. ”

"Well, grandparents are very good to me..."Xu Zixuan also began to choke.

"When I took you away from the orphanage, the director gave me a bag of things. Say you were found in an alley in Yanbian, when you were not yet a year old. All you had with you at the time was a small red quilt and a silver bracelet on your hand. "Grandma Guo's unwrapping," a line of words was shown on the quilt, and a word was also engraved on the bracelet. It's just Korean, and neither your grandfather nor I understand it. When I returned to the capital, I forgot about it because I was busy with work. So at that time, the name of the account given to you was Guo Zixuan. ”

After a few years, my grandmother retired due to illness and had free time. When I tidied up the room again, I turned the package out again. Looking at the words on the quilt and bracelet, I wondered if this was the clue your parents left for you. So I consulted a Korean colleague and learned that the line on the quilt meant: Please save this poor child. Seoul, South Korea. And the word on the bracelet means: Xu. ”

Xu Zixuan smiled miserably after hearing this, and did not make a sound.

"After your grandfather found out, he thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to change your name to Xu Zixuan, not for anything else, just to let you not forget your biological parents. For this matter, grandma has quarreled with your grandfather many times, and your uncle and aunt also disagreed, saying that since Zixuan has arrived at our house, he is our child, why should he let an ignorant child bear such a big burden? It's a pity that your grandfather insisted on going his own way, saying that you can't forget your roots, and finally changed your name! ”

"Hmm!" Xu Zixuan lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Xuansun, I know that it is their fault that your biological parents ruthlessly abandoned you, and they didn't even leave you a message. But as a mother, how much determination and pain does it take to abandon her child? During the war, your grandfather and I also entrusted the newborn uncle to a family for the sake of the overall situation, and when we went to look for it afterwards, it was already empty, and I pity my child...... "Before she finished speaking, my grandmother was already in tears.

"Grandma, Xiao Xuan is not sad or resentful. God treats me well, although my biological parents don't want me anymore, but in this family, I have also received the love of my relatives, I ......." Xu Zixuan couldn't go on.

Grandma Guo sobbed a few times and wiped her tears, "Xuan Sun, in fact, what your grandfather said is right, you can't forget your roots." In the past, you were in the army and your development was good, but grandma was afraid of delaying your future, so she kept it a secret from you. Now that you're out of the army, it's time to consider your background. I know that you have been a very assertive child since you were a child, and grandma doesn't ask you for anything, as long as you make up your mind to do something, grandma will support you! ”

Seeing that her grandmother, who was already very weak, was even weaker because of her sadness, Xu Zixuan hurriedly picked up her grandmother, put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

"Grandma, this is too sudden for me, I have to think about it. Grandma will rest first, don't worry about me. No matter what, I am your and grandpa's grandson, the good son of your uncle and aunt, and the eldest brother of Xiao Guozi! ”

"Hey, that's good, that's good......" Grandma fell asleep deeply.

For a whole afternoon, Xu Zixuan sat at the dining table, the food on the table was untouched, and it was already cold.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, my uncle, who worked in a ministry of the State Council, rushed back, and the two sat at the table facing each other, neither of them spoke.

For this middle-aged man who is nominally an uncle, but is actually a father, Xu Zixuan has a very deep feeling. Without him, because the tempers of the two are the most similar. Because the old man is an old revolutionary, he has a big temper and is anxious; The lost uncle himself had never seen it; And the younger brother Xiao Guozi inherited his grandfather's personality and is completely a big boss. Only this uncle, who has a gentle temperament but is ruthless, looks polite and polite, but is very urban in his heart. And in the past 20 years, uncles and aunts have never regarded themselves as outsiders, and to put it in detail, compared to Xiao Guozi, a biological child, uncles and aunts seem to spend more thought on themselves.

"Xiao Xuan, haven't you eaten a bite? Why don't we have two cups? The uncle took the wine and the wine glass from the cupboard and filled it full. Because of his allergy to alcohol, my uncle only drank a little red wine on occasions that he couldn't refuse. However, with the current status of Grandpa Guo and Uncle Guo, it seems that there are few occasions that cannot be pushed off.

"Uncle, your body?" Xu Zixuan was shocked when he saw that his uncle had also poured a full cup himself.

"Alright! Don't talk about the official words and excuses in your own family! I know this is right from your point of view, but... Alas, "Uncle didn't know what to say, so he raised his glass and took a big sip.

Xu Zixuan also hurriedly left.

"I know that in the past few years, you have worked hard in the army alone, and you have never borrowed the names of your grandfather and me, and this road is very difficult for you to take. But you gritted your teeth and came over, and your grandfather and I were very relieved. Did your grandmother tell you about your background? In fact, you already know some signs, but suddenly you know so many details that you can't react for a while, right? That's right, even if you have experienced life and death on the battlefield, but in the face of these things that touch the softest part of your heart, I think your reaction is relatively normal. What do you think? What's the plan? ”

"Uncle, for all these years, I have never run away, neither the bayonets of the enemy nor the blood of my comrades. This time was no exception. Xu Zixuan took a sip of red wine in his glass, "I'm going to go to South Korea to find my biological parents, if nothing else, just ask one sentence: Why did you abandon me who was less than a year old?" ”

"Alright! Your aunt is in SH right now, and she can't rush back right away! Your aunt and I are an attitude that supports your decision. But your aunt is a woman after all, so she thinks a little more. She asked me to bring you a sentence: No matter who your biological parents are, we will always be your parents and your strong backing......"

"Thank you, thank you, Dad, Mom......." Xu Zixuan turned around and hugged this man who was not a father but a father.

"Hehe, don't be so sensational. Xiao Xuan, it seems that since you became a soldier, your aunt and I have never heard you call your parents again, right? Okay, they're almost thirty years old, and they still look like big girls...... By the way, your mother also asked me to bring a sentence, did you read the blind date album that your mother gave you last time? There are so many beauties that you don't like any of them? It's almost 30, it's time to solve your personal problems, right? Your grandmother is also thinking about holding her great-grandson all day long, and your mother is also very anxious, Xiao Guozi, this little rabbit cub can't be counted on now, you finally took off your military uniform, it's time to think about it....Anyway, I want to be the girl of our Guo family's daughter-in-law... Your mother is picky, but you're still not tempted... Alas, no, hurry up, take out the album, and I'll accompany you to choose ......"

Seeing that his usually steady uncle was now babbling in his ear like a chatterbox, Xu Zixuan suddenly enjoyed this family affection. But how can an uncle who has a heavy job really have time to accompany him in the draft? Before I could find the album, the secretary came in.

"Minister, there's a ministerial meeting at 6 o'clock, and you have to attend. You see, it's 5:30 now......"

"Will there be? Can't I have a meal with my son? Having said that, he still stood up, "Xiao Xuan, I must see your choices when I come back tonight, 1 is not much, 2 is not much, more choices allow your mother to investigate more... Remember......"

In Xu Zixuan's stunned expression, the uncle followed the secretary out. Multi-point options? Auntie still wants to investigate? That's right, my aunt is the head of the SH Organization Department, and it is common to inspect provincial and ministerial-level cadres, so isn't it easy for a daughter-in-law to have a pediatric department? !

In the evening, Xiao Guozi returned home after running errands, and came back with two boxes of special Red Star Erguotou.

"Brother Xuan, let's have two boxes of mouthwashes tonight, Xiao Qizi and Xiao Guizi They said that they would arrive late, and they would be all over the ocean. I can't get used to drinking that horse urine, so let's get some white first! ”

"Okay. Let's talk about it first, whoever lies down first will find grandma's daughter-in-law first......" Xu Zixuan didn't care about taking out a bottle of Erguotou from the wine box, biting it open with his teeth, and smelling it, fragrant!

"Huh? Brother, let's drink when we two drink, what kind of daughter-in-law are you looking for...... Come on, come on, walk ......" Xiao Guozi wanted to fool the past.

"Come less," and Xiao Guozi touched the bottle, "Our grandma is old, although there are people around to serve her, but can the nanny aunt compare with her relatives?" Our mother is in SH, and it is rare to come back a few times a year, grandpa and dad are busy with business all day long, and our two grandsons are also in the army every day, do you think grandma will feel good in her heart? Okay, that's it, Nu, there's a booklet of our mother's daughter-in-law, whoever lies down first tonight will choose one to be the daughter-in-law there......"

"Huh?" Xiao Guozi unwillingly blew on the bottle.

Two young men, a plate of beef, a plate of peanuts, a plate of dried fragrant, 2 boxes of two pots. By the time the other second ancestors in the compound came, Xiao Guozi basically couldn't get off the table, and Xu Zixuan's head was also groggy and began to spin.

"I'll rub, I said you two are really drinking from the sea, how long has it been? These two boxes of two pot heads are gone? One of the young men in the lead laughed and said, "Guizi, don't talk nonsense, go to Louie, 16." How much do you ask me? I wipe, two boxes of special two-pot heads, less than 2 boxes, can you get it? Hurry up, take this opportunity to bring Xuanzi down, after so many years, I've been waiting for this opportunity......"

It's okay that these boys have a conscience. first poured some sobering soup for the drunken brothers, and then asked for some appetizers from the small cafeteria, and when it was officially served to drink, Xu Zixuan's wine was almost sober, and Xiao Guozi's wine was also half sober.

There was another period of nonsense eating and drinking, and at 12 o'clock in the evening, except for Xu Zixuan, who was still sitting at the table, everyone else was lying on the ground.

"Just a few of you little bunnies, you still want to feed me? A few more years! But this Bai Yang match is really fierce..., Mother Zhang, call these boys' homes and ask them to come and pick them up. Xiao Guozi carried me to the bed, let's sleep in the same room tonight! ”

After a long time, Xu Zixuan couldn't recall what he and Xiao Guozi said in the house that night. I just vaguely remember that I and Xiao Guozi talked and laughed, cried and made trouble, which made the whole family uneasy.

Early the next morning, Xu Zixuan came to the bathroom to wash his body, then put his things into a travel bag, looked at Xiao Guozi, who was still talking in his sleep, and walked down the stairs.

The living room, which is usually deserted, is full of people at this time. Grandpa Guo, Grandma Guo, uncle, and several grandfathers who were closer to the family all sat in the living room.

"Grandpa, what are you ......" Xu Zixuan's eyes widened.

"Xuanzi, come down." Grandpa Guo waved his hand at me, "I don't know about the children I've raised for decades?" I let go of the drink last night just to sneak away this morning, right? ”

"Hehe......" Xu Zixuan scratched his head embarrassedly.

"That's it! Those here today are your elders. I won't say much about the superfluous, you are also older, you decide for yourself what path to take. I brought everyone together today to tell you that you can't forget your roots. Regardless of whether you can find your parents this time or not, all of you here are elders who have watched you grow up, and no one can forget it, understand? ”

"Understood!" Xu Zixuan straightened his waist and replied loudly.

"Good! The child is far away, and grandpa has nothing else for you, you have this card in your hand..."

"Grandpa, I'm rich,......" Xu Zixuan said weakly.

"Shit, just your discharge fee is not enough to buy a round-trip ticket to South Korea......" Indeed, Xu Zixuan said that it sounds like a discharge from the army, but in fact, he made a mistake and was expelled from the army, except for a few thousand yuan of settling-in allowance, nothing else. However, in the past few years, Xu Zixuan has also had some personal savings when he was doing tasks in the wolf's teeth, but he didn't dare to tell Grandpa Guo about this money, otherwise maybe Grandpa Guo would really get himself to a military court, not for murder, but for embezzling public funds.

"It's a credit card, and you have to pay it back after you take a penny to use it. Grandpa didn't have any savings left in his life, but it's no problem to get a credit card with this old face...... Take it! Grandpa can't look down on your little savings, so let's keep it as my wife......"

Xu Zixuan accepted the black card with an embarrassed face. Sure enough, it's an old fox, I know everything in my heart, but people just don't say it...

After saying goodbye to the elders, I met a group of second ancestors at the door. Friends who have played since childhood are different, credit cards are absolutely unavailable, what gold cards, platinum cards, and diamond cards are stuffed into Xu Zixuan's arms one by one, and it is also called the money for going to Korea in the future.

With the strong affection and friendship of family and friends, Xu Zixuan embarked on the road of finding relatives.
