This is the third year after liberation, and it is the wax moon again, and it is about to celebrate the Spring Festival.

It was a Sunday, and the weather was sunny and warm, so Wang Yunqing asked his brother-in-law Feng Xuanxia to visit his friend Huang Boyang after lunch.

There is a blue-gray gatehouse next to a quiet road, which is Huang Boyang's home. Wang Yunqing and Feng Xuanxia came to Huang Boyang's house on a tricycle. After they got out of the car, they gently knocked on the door of the Huang family, and the tall woman who opened the door was Huang Boyang's wife, and Mrs. Huang was a bold and hospitable woman. "Oops! It's you two distinguished guests, please come in! She enthusiastically let Wang Yunqing and Feng Xuanxia into the courtyard,

Wang Yunqing and Feng Xuanxia came to Huang Boyang's house for the first time, and the two of them carefully looked at the courtyard, Huang Boyang's home was an exquisite triple courtyard, with three main rooms, three south rooms and two east rooms, and the west side was the courtyard wall and house gate facing the street. There is a wooden trellis in the courtyard, on which there is an old vine that has been climbing for many years, it has just snowed two days ago, and there is a snowman wearing a straw hat in the middle of the yard, this yard is not big but very quiet.

"Lao Huang, a distinguished guest is here at home!"

Huang Boyang was reading intently in the study at this time, and he hurriedly walked out when he heard his wife shouting in the courtyard.

Huang Boyang was very happy when he saw that the people who came were Wang Yunqing and Feng Xuanxia, two old friends, and hurriedly invited them to the house.

Wang Yunqing was not busy entering the house, he pointed to the snowman in the courtyard and asked jokingly, "Lao Huang, you are still childlike, how can this snowman you build be a one-eyed dragon?" With that, he bent down to pick up a briquette that had fallen on the ground and pressed it to the spot of the snowman's eye.

Huang Boyang was happy; "This snowman was piled up by Tingting yesterday, this careless girl, the snowman doesn't know if he drops an eye." The three of them talked and laughed and entered the living room.

After the three of them sat down, Mrs. Huang served fragrant hot tea, Wang Yunqing knew that this was Longjing tea as soon as he smelled the tea, he took a sip of the tea and said, "Hey? Lao Huang, why do you drink Longjing too? I remember you used to drink jasmine tea! ”

Huang Boyang said: "I drink tea is actually like that, I drink flower tea, green tea, black tea, oolong tea and other teas. The dragon well I made today is reserved for the two of you. How about an old comrade-in-arms who came to me from out of town for a meeting, 100% of the top grade? Incense it! ”

Wang Yunqing nodded and said, "Good tea, better than the Longjing tea at home!" ”

Feng Xuanxia spoke: "Lao Huang, since you think so much about our brothers, then you can pack this Longjing and send it to us!" ”

"That's no problem! My wife divided the tea leaves into two packets for the first two days, and I have already left them for you. ”

"That's great! I thank you first, and I want to thank my sister-in-law. Feng Xuanxia snorted haha.

Wang Yunqing pointed to the dim sum box and wine bottle on the table and said, "Let's exchange this gift for your high-grade Longjing, it's really a bit of a brick throw!" Ha ha! That's a good deal! Wang Yunqing also followed suit.

The three old brothers were very affectionate when they met. After Huang Boyang's lover refilled the tea for the guests, they also sat together and chatted.

Wang Yunqing saw that Huang Boyang's spirit was a little tired. Just asked: "Lao Huang, you've been very busy with work lately, right?" I see you don't have a good look on your face. ”

Huang Boyang said: "Recently, we have been very busy, and some major cases have not yet been solved, and now we are concentrating on working overtime." ”

"Lao Huang, you have been injured and you are old, you must pay attention to your body! The body is the capital of the revolution, so give the burden to those young people. ”

Huang Boyang made a helpless gesture and said: "I want them to take over, but they are still tender, and I don't worry about them doing things!" ”

During the chat, Wang Yunqing asked Huang Tingting again: "Why is Tingting not at home today." Do you still work on Sundays? ”

"My girl is busy all day long, she works in the education system, and today she said that she went around several colleges." Huang Boyang said.

Wang Yunqing praised: "At a young age, you will take on leadership work in important positions, and your future future is limitless!" ”

Huang Boyang's lover accosted him and said: "Tingting is busy all day long. I never rest on Sundays, and I can only go home at dinner in the evening. ”

Huang Boyang asked Wang Yunqing, "Hey, Brother Wang, you ask Tingting." I also want to ask you about Hongju's current situation, he has been gone for almost three years, how is it now? ”

"Hongju is in contact with his family by letter. He said that he was too busy with work there to go home, and he also said that he would take root in the south and not come back, and that he would take me and her mother to live with him in the future. ”

"Hey! What a good child Hongju is, in my opinion, Hongju's reluctance to come back to work may be due to Tingting breaking his heart. Huang Boyang shook his head and said.

Wang Yunqing said a little sourly: "I originally planned to be in-laws with you, but I didn't know that Tingting's heart was higher than the sky, and I didn't fancy my family!" I don't understand, why is Hongju not worthy of her? ”

Feng Xuanxia also interjected: "These two children are a natural pair, a pair of earth, and the elders of the children are friends who know the roots, and they are the right people, I don't know what Tingting thinks about this child!" ”

Mrs. Huang was afraid that Wang Yunqing and Feng Xuanxia would misunderstand Tingting, so she comforted them and said, "You two brothers can rest assured, Tingting and I said behind my back that she had a very good impression of Hongju." There's a reason why she's not in a relationship now, and I think there's a possibility that they'll be together in the future. ”

Wang Yunqing shook his head regretfully and said: "If you can't talk about it now, what can you do in the future?" It seems that our Wang and Huang families can't climb up to their in-laws! ”

Mrs. Huang smiled awkwardly: "We can't meddle in the children's affairs!" Falling in love depends on fate, maybe their fate has not yet arrived. ”

"How can you not be in a hurry! Although Tingting is a good girl in a hundred, my family Hongju is also a young talent who stands out from the crowd, and he is definitely worthy of Tingting! I just want your Tingting to be my daughter-in-law, you two must help me with this wish! Wang Yunqing patted his thighs anxiously.

Feng Xuanxia also helped his eldest brother, and he said to Huang Boyang and his wife: "Tingting is an obedient and filial child, you old couple should do more ideological work for her!" Anyway, you have to help my eldest brother! ”

Huang Boyang saw Wang Yunqing's angry look, he was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding between old friends, so he felt the need to tell the truth of the matter, so he sighed: "Hey! It's not something you can't help with. Let's be honest, Tingting doesn't accept Hongju's love because she never forgets her dead brother! ”

"What? Does Tingting love his brother? It's unethical! Wang Yunqing showed an incredible expression, and both he and Feng Xuanxia felt incredulous about it.

Huang Boyang said in a heavy tone: "Yes, Tingting once loved her brother Dawei deeply, and they were a pair of lovers who loved each other!" Although David died for many years. But Tingting still can't forget him, this is a sad thing in my family that has never been told to anyone, take advantage of the opportunity for our brothers to sit together today, I will tell it to you as a story. ”

Huang Boyang lit a cigarette and took a big gulp, and the past of more than ten years ago appeared in front of him again in the smoke clouds: Huang Dawei, the son of Huang Boyang and his wife, was not their biological son, Huang Dawei's original surname was Wu, and his father was a colonel-level officer in the Kuomintang army. When Wu Dawei was ten years old, just in time for the outbreak of the "77 Incident", the Japanese devils launched a surprise attack on the Chinese army defending the city. His father was killed in battle against the Japanese invaders. His mother, as a military dependent, and her two children retreated with the army, and on the way, the army was bombed by Japanese planes, and people scattered for their lives, and his mother and brother were killed in the panic. From then on, he became an orphan wandering around the city.

In the winter of the year when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, when Huang Boyang got up early to open the door of the antique shop, he found a child curled up in front of the store and shivering from the cold. In Huang Boyang's speech and conversation with the child, Huang Boyang felt that although the child was ragged and unkempt, his manners and deeds were very polite and his speech was also organized. Like a well-educated child. After further inquiry, Huang Boyang learned about the child's background, and out of compassion, he immediately decided to take the child in.

At first, Wu Dawei worked as a young man for Huang Boyang in the antique shop. He does sweeping the floor, wiping the table, running errands, and so on. This child is good-looking, diligent and conscientious, and a kind-hearted and simple child, so Huang Boyang and his wife, who have no children under their knees, simply adopted him as their adopted son. So Wu Dawei changed the surname Wu to the surname Huang. Huang Dawei had previously been in the fourth grade in primary school, and after he became Huang Boyang's adopted son, Huang Boyang sent him to school to continue his education.

Huang Dawei and Huang Tingting studied in the same school. He was a grade higher than his sister, and they both went to school and left school together every day. Huang Dawei loves his sister very much, and always regards himself as his sister's protector, if someone dares to bully his sister, he will rush to protect her desperately. Huang Tingting also regards Huang Dawei as her own brother, and regards her brother as her backer, no matter how big or small she encounters, she has to ask her brother to help solve it, share anything happy with her brother, and quietly tell her brother anything she thinks is confidential. The two of them read and write homework together, frolicking and playing together, and they are inseparable all day long, and the relationship between them can be described as a childhood sweetheart. By the time the two were in high school, as they grew older, a spark of love gradually burst out in their deep brother-sister relationship. The two often climb Jingshan Mountain in their leisure time to look at it from afar, go to Beihai to wave their arms and row boats, and go to Zhongshan Park to enjoy the flowers and scenery. Before the flowers, they fell in love and said that they were in love, and I and I were in love.

Huang Boyang and his wife also saw the change in the relationship between the brother and sister, and they did not stop it, but were happy to see it.

Huang Boyang's antique shop is an underground liaison station, and both husband and wife are party members, under the influence and education of their parents, Huang Dawei and Huang Tingting have accepted communist ideas, and when they grow up, Huang Dawei helps Huang Boyang cook the business of the antique shop and at the same time takes on the task of underground traffic officer.

In the spring of that year, Huang Dawei was ordered to go to the liberated area to transmit information, and on the way, due to the prior information leaked, he was ambushed and captured by the Kuomintang agents.

After Huang Dawei was arrested, the spies demanded that he hand over information and give an account of the Communist Party's underground intelligence network, but Huang Dawei sternly refused, and the angry spies had no choice but to torture him. The spies thought that Huang Dawei was young and angry, and a whip could make him succumb, but they didn't think that the torture could not make Huang Dawei succumb. In the end, Huang Dawei, who was covered in bruises, was afraid that he would no longer be able to support himself under the torture of the enemy, so in order to protect the organization, his parents and sister, he resolutely bit off his tongue. Seeing that there was no useful information from Huang Dawei's mouth, the spies angrily shot him to death, and his body was hung by the spies on the castle tower of the county seat.

When Huang Boyang's family learned of Huang Dawei's death, they were all devastated and distressed. Huang Tingting knew that there would be sacrifices in the revolution, but it was difficult for her to accept the reality of Dawei's sacrifice, she lived in Dawei's bedroom before his death, holding Dawei's portrait and crying for a whole day, and then couldn't sleep at night for a few days. Even after a long time, as soon as Huang Tingting walked into Dawei's room, she would see things and thoughts, and tears would wet her clothes. Later, Huang Boyang and his wife were afraid that their daughter would be sad, so they locked the house where Dawei lived before his death.

It has been more than two years since Huang Dawei's sacrifice, and Huang Tingting's thoughts about Dawei's brother are still undiminished.

Huang Dawei is Huang Tingting's first love, the love between them contains two little guesses of brother and sister, mutual love between men and women and like-minded comrades, this pure and beautiful first love makes Huang Tingting unforgettable, she believes that no man can replace Huang Dawei's position in her heart. In order not to affect the underground work, Huang Tingting, who has a strong personality, buried this painful emotional experience deep in her heart, and no one except Huang Boyang and his wife knew about it.

Huang Boyang was already in tears after recalling this past, and Mrs. Huang, who was sitting on the side, couldn't cry anymore. She covered her face and ran out the door.

Feng Xuanxia blushed and apologized to Huang Boyang and said: "Old Huang, Tingting is a child who values love and righteousness, it is not easy for her to bury this sad incident in her heart without leaving a trace!" I'm sorry, the two of us blame Tingting for this kid! ”

Wang Yunqing followed and said: "Tingting has vision, if Dawei is still alive, my family will not be able to compare to him!" ”

Huang Boyang wiped away his tears with his hands and said: "Just know about this matter, don't tell others, let alone mention it in front of Tingting, as long as you mention Dawei's name Tingting will be sad." ”

Wang Yunqing and Feng Xuanxia nodded in agreement. While a few people were talking, they heard someone in the courtyard calling for Dad. After the living room door was pushed open, Huang Tingting returned home.

Huang Tingting greeted Wang Yunqing and Feng Xuanxia very affectionately after seeing them, Wang Yunqing looked at Huang Tingting happily and said, "Tingting, do you remember when I praised you for being a slim yellow flower girl?" But you are now a mature and capable female cadre. ”

"Thank you, uncle, for the compliment!" Between words. Huang Tingting poured tea for the two guests.

Suddenly, Huang Tingting saw that there seemed to be tears on her father's face, so she asked strangely: "Dad, you seem to have just cried?" ”

Huang Boyang hurriedly covered up: "No? ”

Huang Tingting asked: "Why do you have tears on your face when you don't cry?" ”

"Hey! Silly girl, where are the tears. I have trachoma, and that's the eye drop I ordered! Huang Boyang laughed out loud after speaking.

Huang Tingting also smiled, she moved a chair and sat next to her father.

Wang Yunqing looked at Huang Tingting with loving eyes. He deliberately asked, "Tingting, you don't stay at home on Sundays, are you going to the park with your boyfriend?" ”

Huang Tingting replied naughtily: "Uncle, I haven't considered personal feelings now, if I have a boyfriend in the future, you will definitely be the first person to know." ”

"Well, in order to drink your wine, I'll wait patiently. What a pity! An excellent girl like you couldn't enter our royal family! ”

"Uncle, what are you worried about! Wait, Hongju will bring you a good daughter-in-law when the time comes! ”

Wang Yunqing laughed: "You girl is really good at talking, I hope it is you who he brings home." If you don't be my daughter-in-law, my family will be beaten up! ”

"Haha! Ha ha! Huang Boyang and Feng Xuanxia also laughed happily.

Huang Tingting blushed and asked, "Uncle, did you come to my house today to tell Hongju about matchmaking?" ”

"Tingting, the Communist Party advocates freedom of love, and our elders don't interfere in the matter between you and Hongju. However, you and Hongju are good friends, and I will leave you his mailing address, so that you can contact him when you have time in the future. ”

Huang Tingting said happily: "Uncle, I haven't heard from him since Hongju went south, I know that he is angry with me, in fact, I really miss him." I'll write to him in a few days! ”

"Girl, as the saying goes: you don't know how to cherish something when it's by your side, but when you lose it, you realize its preciousness! There are some things that are hard to find, and if you miss them, you will regret them for life! Huang Boyang was beating his daughter on the side.

Huang Tingting poured a cup of tea for her father and said, "Dad, don't talk about me, can you say something else?" ”

Huang Boyang retorted: "You are my daughter, why can't I say it?" ”

At this time, Huang Tingting revealed the true colors of a little woman, she pursed her lips coquettishly and said: "Dad, we have guests at home, can you save some face for your daughter!" ”

Huang Boyang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Okay, I won't say it, I won't say it, I'll talk about you when the guests leave!" ”

Wang Yunqing looked at the father and daughter of the Huang family with great interest, he pointed at Huang Tingting as if he had discovered a new continent and said, "Look, the Tingting we see at home is the real body!" His words amused everyone in the room.

When it was getting late when a few people were chatting very happily, Wang Yunqing and Feng Xuanxia were about to say goodbye, but Mrs. Huang had already prepared a sumptuous meal in the kitchen, and they had a delicious dinner in the hospitality of Huang Boyang's family. At the dinner table, Wang Yunqing told Huang Tingting about the printing factory opened at home, and wanted her to help contact some business. Huang Tingting agreed, but she put forward two requirements: one is quality assurance, and the other is fair price. Seeing that Huang Tingting agreed to help, Wang Yunqing was very satisfied, and Huang Boyang and others were also very happy. (To be continued......)
