Chapter 1: The Veteran's Return Home (1) The journey is arduous
In the mid-90s of the last century, China's Taiwan Strait was still unstable, and from time to time there were a few waves. ’
Guo's mother's brother, who applied to return to the mainland several times, finally received a notice from the relevant departments of the Taiwan area, allowing him to apply for documents to return to the mainland.
"Dad, you see that you are so old, and the mainland is so far away from the plateau, I look at your body, don't you want to go?" Guo's mother and brother are about 70 years old, but his eldest son is just over 30 years old, and he is very worried about his father's health, especially the hundreds of millions of family assets.
'People who come out of their hometown, when they come, think about their hometown, you are young, you don't understand, I went back to the mainland this time, I have already made a will, if I can't come back, there will be a lawyer to inform you! In order to arrange the future, Guo's mother and brother decided to make a will before returning to the mainland, and he left most of his family property to his wife in the platform, in order to let her take better care of a few young children.
'Mom, are you going too?' Dad didn't say he didn't need you to go! Guo's mother's eldest daughter's eldest daughter was married, and at the family meeting a few days ago, she clearly heard that her father was going to go back alone.
'Father sings with father, your father is not afraid of death, what am I afraid of, I am a native of the platform, and there is no historical problem, even if they don't let me go, I admit it, you don't need to persuade me,' Guo's mother and sister-in-law are strong women, although there is a gap in age between them and her husband, but the relationship between them and husband is very deep.
Turning through the port, and then through the port of Guò port. Flying to City A, Guo's mother and brother and his wife's trip to their hometown can be called hard, but fortunately, both husband and wife have strengthened their beliefs, no matter how hard and tired they are, they will be there.
On the tarmac of City A Airport, as soon as Guo's mother and brother got off the plane, they saw several cars parked there not far away, the green one was obviously a 'military vehicle', and the other two. They all hung flashing 'police lights', and it seemed that they had come to 'arrest them'.
Because he had received a notice from Guo's mother and brother in advance, and also got a photo of Guo's mother and brother from Guo's mother, Guo Kaiying saw the 'uncle' at a glance, and at this time he was dressed in a police uniform and ran to the side of the plane.
'I said I was here to arrest you, but everyone has said that they will have a public trial against a general like you!' Guo's mother and sister-in-law saw a mainland policeman rushing over. She put her arms around her husband's waist in fear.
Before Guo's mother and brother could speak, Guo Kaiying spoke, "Uncle, aunt." You guys are very good, I am the sixth child of the Guo family, and your nephew Guo Kaiying! ’
Guo's mother and brother had heard of an old nephew who was a policeman in Hong Kong, who was standing on a ladder. shouted a few words, 'It turned out to be the sixth child, I want to ask you.' Aren't you a chief, you usually drive a police car and wear a police uniform! ’
Because Guo Kaiying was standing under the ladder, he didn't hear the words of Guo's mother and brother above, and he didn't reply immediately when he stood on the ground, and then Guo Kaiwei and Guo Kaishan also ran over.
'Sixth, what's the situation?' Guo Kaiwei first talked to Guo Kaiying.
I don't know what's wrong with my uncle, the people on the plane are gone, he and his aunt can't get down, it's windy just now, and I didn't hear what he said to me! ’
Guo Kaiwei cleared his throat and shouted, "Uncle, come down quickly, my mother is waiting for you at my house, she is not in good health, she didn't come, I am your eldest nephew, my name is Guo Kaiwei, next to me is my third brother, his name is Guo Kaishan, they are all from his own family, come down quickly!" ’
Although Guo Kaiwei's voice was not very loud, he could hear it clearly, although Guo's mother and brother were still hesitant in his heart, he still walked down the ladder boldly.
The brothers of the Guo family bowed to Guo's mother and brothers, "Uncle, on behalf of the whole family, we welcome you back to China, I am the eldest, he is the third, the fourth is watching the car from a distance, and the fifth is the sixth when he is a soldier in the south and can't come back, this is the sixth." ’
Seeing that Guo's mother and brother were not outsiders, they turned their worries into joy and said, "It turned out to be you, I thought my case was about to be released, so let's not be busy leaving, I want to ask you, do you usually wear clothes like this?" ’
Guo Kaiwei said with a smile, "Uncle, you don't know, we are not allowed to come in to the tarmac of this airport on weekdays, and we wear this dress to scare people so that we can drive the car in." ’
Guo's mother and sister-in-law also smiled after hearing this, "So that's the case, I was scared, I thought they were here to arrest us." ’
'Hahaha! ’
The situation in the mainland is far from what the Taiwan government said, as soon as the car enters the city, Guo's mother and brother come to the spirit, 'Drive new, you drive slowly, I want to look around.' ’
In order to welcome the return of his uncle, Guo Kaixin specially borrowed Liu Sheng's new car, which is an extended version of the 'Cadillac', the car was originally a three-row seat, but Liu Sheng was able to remove a row, he thought it was comfortable to sit in two rows of seats.
"Okay, uncle, then I'll drive slowly," Guo Kaixin himself was the driver of the car, and under the opening of the two police cars, he looked very imposing.
Guo Kaiwei was in the front car of the team, he saw Guo Kaixin's car flashing all the time, but the car did not move, so he guessed the thoughts of Guo's mother and brother, he used his mobile phone and the sixth brother Guo Kaiying in the back car and said, "It seems that this old man still wants to go out more, and he doesn't want to rush home!" ’
Guo Kaiying had just been promoted to 'second-level police inspector', and while observing the movement of the car behind him with the rearview mirror, he said with a smile, "Our team caught a few platform spies before, and when they were first arrested, they all said how bad we were here, but after they came to the mainland, they all changed, and one of them still took the initiative to surrender and didn't want to go back." ’
"Yes, we haven't met in the criminal police team, you see our little aunt doesn't, how well maintained that person is, she is much younger than my uncle, right?" ’
'No, she's nearly twenty years old, and I think she's younger than my sister-in-law!' ’
'You don't have to talk to her before me, she looks like a pig's belly face, how can you compare with the ladies on other people's terraces! ’
Guo Kaiwei's home, in the mid-nineties of the last century, was replaced by a three-bedroom house due to his promotion, but there were too many people in the old Guo family, in order not to disturb the tranquility of Guo's mother. The juniors didn't call, and there were only a few daughters-in-law in the house who were helping Guo's mother cook.
'Mom, you haven't cooked this dish in more than ten years!' The delicious food in Lao Rehe Province was specially prepared by Guo's mother for her brother, and in this family, she is the only one who can cook it, and the sister-in-law of the Guo family has tasted these dishes, and her mouth is also very sweet.
"Your father is dead, who am I going to eat, you guys are really not enough." Guo's mother's silver hair is obviously much older, and her loneliness can be imagined in the years since Guo's father died.
'Mom, don't you use me to do something, I and my third sister-in-law have chosen the dishes for you! The sixth sister-in-law of the Guo family will always be like a child, she is bouncing at home, such a woman does not look old, others say she is twenty years old. There are people who believe it.
'No need for you, you can rest! The housework of the sixth sister-in-law of the Guo family is far inferior to that of other daughters-in-law, and sometimes she is still the kind of person who helps more and more chaotic.
'Third sister-in-law. Your little mountain is about to take the high school entrance exam, right? I don't have to be myself, I am also happy to be leisurely, and the sixth sister-in-law of the Guo family turned on the TV and watched it.
'Hill always causes trouble for me in City A, his business. I don't even dare to tell your third brother that I plan to send him to England, Xiaogang is not there. I want him to exercise, the schools in China are all exam-oriented education, I have to let him study more abroad, and when I am old, I can let him take over my class! Guan Yue is getting busier and busier now, and her "Youyue Group" has also become one of the top 500 enterprises in the province, and she is involved in a lot of fields.
"That's, you're so rich, of course Xiaoshan has to take over, not like us, a while ago I said that I wanted to go to the sea to do business, this will not go to the sea again, I earn all the dead wages, not to mention, all day long, our son has changed his name eight times, and now I don't know what my son's name is!" Guo Kaiying's son, Guo Xiaoying, is a talented and intelligent child, but Guo Kaiying was born to believe in fate, and always said that his son's name was not good, and he began to change his name constantly from birth, so that the people of the old Guo family did not know what Guo Xiaoying's name was, and the sixth sister-in-law of the Guo family said this, although it was very suspenseful, but it was not too much, because her son could only be his father's, and did not listen to his own mother very much.
It's time for this to happen, what time is it!' While Guo's mother was cooking, she was still looking at the quartz clock on the wall, and she was looking at it for a while.
'Mom, if you're in a hurry, I'll give them a call and tell them to hurry up!' Guan Yue's mobile phone was brought back from Japan and was given to her by Liu Xuehua as a birthday gift. ’
'Fourth, where have you been?' The object of Guan Yue's call is Guo Kaixin, the relationship between her and her husband is so confusing, it is not as good as Guo Kaixin, who usually works together.
'It's the third sister-in-law, it's almost there, what's the matter, is my mother in a hurry? ’
"Yes, hurry up, Mom has packed up all the dishes, and I'll wait for you to come back and start frying." ’
Then you let Mom fry first, we'll be there soon." ’
In Hong Kong, Guo's mother ate the banquet invited by her brother, although she also ordered a few hometown dishes, but it was really not as good as the right taste she made, watching her brother keep eating the dishes she made, Guo's mother's tears involuntarily flowed down,
'Mom, it's a good thing that my uncle is back, why are you still crying!' Guan Yue, who was sitting on the side, took out her handkerchief sprayed with French perfume and wiped her tears for Guo's mother.
'Mom is happy, happy, brother, are you used to eating this dish, right? ’
Brother Guo's mother, who was eating the hometown food silently, contained a lot of tears when he heard his little sister say this, and finally broke out, "Habit, too used to it, it's been decades, it's the first time I've eaten such a good dish, little sister, this cooking skill of yours was learned from your mother." ’
Guo's mother shook her head and said, "I have watched my mother cook before, I didn't think anything at the time, since I got married, I have been groping for it, I have been thinking that you must still be alive, one day, I will make the food for my brother to eat,'
Brother Guo, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shed their own tears. (To be continued......)
