Yang Wenhan looked at his watch, and there was still seven or eight minutes before the meeting was held, so he hurriedly put away the documents on the table, locked them in the safe, picked up his notebook and walked towards the conference room upstairs.

"Minister, please wait a minute!" As soon as Yang Wenhan walked to the staircase, the secretary Xiao Fang caught up and whispered to him, "A call from Dayingmen said that your second uncle is from his hometown." ”

Yang Wenhan frowned, and said embarrassedly: "There is no one in my house now, you arrange for him to stay in the guest house first, and then I will go over to see him after the meeting." ”

Yang Wenhan finished the meeting a little uncertainly, and hurriedly walked to the guest house, guessing in his heart why the second uncle came to Beijing this time.

The second uncle is almost old, a little naughty when he was a child, he just likes to run around, he is reluctant to go into the classroom to study, and he has been following the working adults in the fields since he was a child. Since I didn't go to school, the five-foot-long flat shoulder, one horizontal in front of me, knew that it was a "one", and two horizontal in front of me, but I didn't know that it was a "two" character. Once, when the production team was distributing firewood and grass, he didn't know the note with his name written on the firewood and straw pile, and when he saw others pulling the things he had shared one by one with a rack cart to his home, he was anxious to shout: "Where am I, which one is me!" This incident left a laughing stock in the village for a while.

Yang Wenhan's father died relatively early, and his mother and several children were able to survive the difficult years of lack of food and drink, thanks to the second uncle.

Although the second uncle was uneducated, he was strong and could get the highest amount of male labor in the production team, and he married a somewhat demented woman at the age of thirty.

The aunt who is a little demented is very kind, and she takes good care of the second uncle, and in the second year after she married the second uncle, together with the child in her belly, she was sent to the point of no return by the "barefoot doctor" in the village.

The second uncle did not remarry after that, and he and Yang Wenhan's father only had two brothers, and they treated several of their nephews and nieces as their own, and covered all the hard work and tiring work of Yang Wenhan's family. Even in the sixties and seventies of the last century, when rural life was at its most difficult, he was able to help his widow and sister-in-law to pay the school fees for the children and put on new clothes for the Chinese New Year.

Later, Yang Wenhan enlisted in the army, was recommended to go to the military academy, and was promoted; Later, getting married and having children, step by step, naturally seemed to be flowing smoothly.

Yang Wenhan's lover was his classmate when he was studying at the Third Military Medical University in Chongqing, who was reasonable and generous. She knew that the second uncle used to treat Yang Wenhan as wholeheartedly as his own son, so he treated the second uncle as close as his mother-in-law.

The second uncle came to Beijing for the first time shortly after Yang Wenhan got married.

Yang Wenhan and his family played with their second uncle for a day on Sunday, and went to the Summer Palace in the morning, and the second uncle said: "It's a pity that such a good place doesn't grow crops, only grass and trees!" In the afternoon, I went to the zoo, and the second uncle said: "There are so many horses and cows, they don't pull plows or trailers, and they are raised every day, wasting forage in vain!" ”

The second uncle's most unaccustomed thing is that it costs money to move around the city: "It costs seven cents to drink a bowl of tea, how can people live this life?" ”

"A bowl of tea is not seven cents, it is two cents." Yang Wenhan corrected him.

The second uncle stiffened his neck and said, "Why isn't it seven cents, I spent two cents to drink a bowl of tea, and I went to the toilet to pee a lot, and the old man who watched the toilet asked me for five cents again, isn't it seven cents together?" I don't drink that bowl of tea, and I don't go to pee! ”

Since he went out that day, the second uncle never wanted to go out again. On the fourth day, he said that he was panicked when he lived in the city, and urged Yang Wenhan to buy him a train ticket to go home.

For many years after that, the second uncle never came back to Beijing at any other time, except for once when his daughter was in college.

"I didn't even make a phone call in advance, I don't know what happened to the second uncle's sudden arrival in Beijing this time?" Yang Wenhan thought in his heart while walking in the direction of the guest house, and when he looked up, he saw Secretary Fang standing at the gate of the guest house waiting for him from a distance.
