2nd Round: Relatives on Taiwan Island (Part II)

Today's "family meeting" of the old Guo family, because the eldest brother Guo Kaiwei can't come back from work in the capital, almost all the members in City A have arrived, not only the children's generation, but even the grandchildren and adults also participated in this meeting, including Guo Kaiwei's son and daughter, plus the eldest daughter and second daughter of the Guo family's eldest sister.

"Uncle, Mom, why haven't I seen you usually tell me?" Because it was the first time to participate in a "family meeting" of such a scale, the eldest daughter of the eldest sister of the Guo family said something in depth.

"There's no place for you to speak here, just listen to the children, you are an observer of the meeting, and you know no." The eldest brother-in-law patted his daughter on the head.

"I haven't heard of my uncle, Mom, do you know the way?" Guo Kaiwei's eldest son Guo Xiaochun, as the eldest grandson of the old Guo family, he has never heard of such a "grandfather-generation player." ”

"Your dad hasn't told me about it before, where do I know it." Guo Xiaochun's mother is a well-known "little pepper", and after being married for so many years, she has never heard of it from her husband that she still has an uncle on Taiwan Island.

"Don't talk about it, uncle's business, I know the truth, my mother told me and Kaiwei when I was a child, and then I didn't dare to mention it when I engaged in a campaign to 'catch spies' in the 50s, but now it's okay, the national policy has also changed, didn't it mean that it is allowed to communicate with that side, and I found my uncle, isn't it a good thing." The eldest sister of the Guo family still knows a little about her uncle, and she also gave a preliminary explanation to everyone.

"Then since he is a soldier of the old society, he is naturally the Kuomintang-Kuomintang, Mom, although there is a policy at the top now, but the specific has not been implemented yet, so let's not contact it yet." Guo Kaiying saw the situation at that time very thoroughly, he was also a person who came from the turbulent period, if he made a wrong step, it would be difficult to regret it.

"Anyway, I'm that old. I've decided to write back to your uncle. "Guo's mother is over sixty years old, and for an old man of this age, no matter what rules he has, it is a big thing to be able to contact his brother in his lifetime.

Guo Kaiying looked at his eldest brother-in-law and sister-in-law, both of whom avoided his gaze and bowed their heads silently. It's no wonder who can see it clearly these days. They are all people who came from the turbulent period, the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law in the early years, because of different political views, they also fought hard, and now the reform and opening up, recalling the events of the year, they are all laughing, unable to explain, and now the situation. With an uncle from Taiwan who is a senior official of the "Kuomintang-Kuomintang-Party," they are all "communist-industrial-party-members" in their units, and it is still very difficult to get them to take the right stand. had to let Guo's mother decide, and no one raised any objections, but they did not express their "approval".

Several older brothers and sisters didn't say anything, and Guo Kaiying didn't dare to confront Guo's mother. I had to bow my head and agree, and the four "little friends" who participated in the meeting for the first time didn't know what happened to the adults. I followed the example of the adults and lowered my head.

"If there are no different opinions, I'm going to reply to the letter below, Xiaoliu, you ghostwrite, I'll write, and the rest of the people, let's rest." Guo's mother saw that the meeting had reached this point, and no one continued to speak, so she announced the dismissal of the meeting, and Guo Kai ushered in to help her write a letter.

"Mom, I'm going to work early tomorrow, I'm going back, Bin'er is alone at home with the children, I'm not at ease, I want to go first." Guo Kaiying is a shrewd person, and as a public servant of the state, it would be unwise not to avoid this matter.

Guo's mother also saw her little son's thoughts, so she said, "Okay, it's dark, you drive slowly, wait until next Sunday to bring the child to me, I want to see who the little guy looks like." ”

"I'm so tired, of course my son looks like me." Guo Kaiying walked out of the house quickly, started the new "Santana" car for him, and walked away.

"Hey, the house, come here."

"Grandma, what's the matter?" Guo Xiaochun has the best relationship with Guo's mother, he was brought up by Guo's mother since he was a child.

"Your uncle is in trouble, can you write a letter to your grandmother?"

"Okay."

In this way, under Guo Xiaochun's ghostwriting, Guo's mother replied to her brother, and the next day it was handed over to the monk, repeatedly telling him that he must hand over the letter to Guo's mother and brother.

In the past few years, the primary school and temple he funded to build are in the eyes of the villagers in this small village, and they have gotten a very good mouthful of beer, and everyone is praising him behind his back, and some people say, "This monk is really developed, where did he get so much money, will he not be able to change?" ”

The temple of this village originally had a "Guan Gong" icon, the turmoil period suddenly disappeared, so that the village people are very sorry, after the new temple was completed, in the side courtyard "Garan Temple", a tall "Guan Gong" icon was erected again, the dream of the villagers was rounded, since then, the incense here continues, people from many villages and towns near and far, will come to worship here.

After returning to Hong Kong, the monk dialed the phone number of Guo's mother's brother, and the old man immediately flew to the monastery and saw the letter given to him by Guo's mother, and the old man also burst into tears.

"She's okay now, I heard that people in the mainland live quite hard, is there enough food?" Under the indoctrination of the Taiwan government, the people of Taiwan only know that the people in the mainland do not even have a full meal.

"That was before, but now the mainland has changed, every family is rich, the elderly are very good, and the children are very competitive, you see, there is a family photo taken by their whole family."

"It's really old, when I went to Taiwan Island, she was still a little girl, and now she is an old lady." Guo's mother and brother commented while looking at the photos.

"I heard that the master is a native of City A, can you tell me how your hometown is doing now?"

"Of course, I also came to Hong Kong later, and I couldn't stay in the mainland during the turmoil, but now my hometown is much better, not only can I do business, but also advocate religious freedom, you see, this is the temple in our village, it was burned down before, and now it is being built again." The monk took out another photo and showed it to the old man.

"It's changed, it's really changed, by the way, how did you do with the last time I asked you to help?"

"It's hard to do, I won't tell you anything, I also found a lawyer for your old business, but I said that I can't do it, it doesn't comply with the law, or you should go to the mainland agency in Hong Kong to take a look." According to your old situation, I hope to achieve your wishes. ”

"It's okay, this is some sesame oil money, please accept it."

After coming out of the Hong Kong monastery, Guo's mother and brother immediately found a partner in Hong Kong, and found many local friends, wanting to ask everyone for help to facilitate the return to the mainland, but the answer they got was that "it is difficult to do it."

"I don't believe it's going to let me go home. I'll go to them. When he heard a friend say that he could not go back to the mainland, the old man angrily took a car to the Hong Kong branch of the "Xin-Hua-She" branch.

"Mr., my request, I will reflect it with the leader, you leave a contact information, if there is news, I will notify you as soon as possible." When Guo's mother and brother told the staff here about what he wanted to return to the mainland. The staff politely replied and gave him a check-in.

"Young man, I want to ask you, do you say I'm Chinese?"

"Yes, definitely. You are Chinese. ”

"Then you say that it is so difficult for Chinese to return to China?"

"Of course it's not that hard, but we have a policy that says you do. It is necessary to report to the higher level and wait for the approval of the superior before giving an explanation. ”

"I'm a businessman. I can go back to the mainland to invest, that's okay. ”

"Old sir, in your situation, I can tell you directly, you really do not meet the national regulations, at present we only accept requests from investors in Hong Kong and Australia, just now you said that you are not Chinese, now I can directly tell you, you are a Chinese, but you are a Taiwan compatriot, our country and the Taiwan government are negotiating, one day, you will once again set foot on the land of your hometown, so you can reunite with your family."

Guo's mother and brother saw that the matter had not been resolved, so he had to return to the terrace, and he wanted to find his old relationship to see if he could make the matter happen.

"Brother, this matter of yours, the official is really talking at present, and this is what we are talking about now, you can rest assured, if the two sides of the strait are opened, I will be the first to sign you up and let you go first, now it's okay." Guo's mother's brother's friends are all high-ranking government officials, when he heard his friend reply to him, his heart was extremely happy, he returned home, couldn't sleep at night, he really missed his homeland, his hometown, and his sister.

In the mid-80s of the last century, through the help of the monks in Hong Kong, Guo's mother and brother have replied to each other through many letters, in which they told each other about their family situation and longing, which formed a convention, when the monks want to go back to their hometown in City A, Guo's mother and brother will come to Hong Kong, ask him to bring the family letter to Guo's mother, and by the way, bring some special products of the platform to Guo's mother, and some US dollars.

After Guo's mother received her brother's letter and things, she often replied quickly, and then asked her children to use the money brought by her uncle to buy some things in her hometown, especially the several medicinal materials that the uncle said in the letter.

"I'm bothering you again." Guo's mother put the things and the well-written letter in the hands of the monk.

"How can you, you are kind and do things for you, as a matter of course."

"This bag is for my brother, this bag is for you, it's not expensive, but it's a little bit of my heart." Guo's mother knows that the monk is quite wealthy, but every time she brings something to her brother, she will also bring a copy to the monk, which can be called "courtesy, affection and righteousness." ”

"Broke the bank."

When the senior monk handed over the letter and the items to the old gentleman this time, he found that the old gentleman was particularly strong today, "Is there a happy event?" ”

"The master is really a master, you can see this, let me tell you the good news, a friend of mine in Taiwan said that he is going to let the Taiwanese go back to the mainland, and now he is organizing training, he helped me register, and I can participate when I go back."

"This is a good thing, I have been a messenger for several years, and it is time for you to go back, and now that the mainland is developing rapidly, I will let you see something."

The monk took out a videotape, which recorded the scene of the monk and some Hong Kong businessmen, first passing by a factory, and then to a temple, the monk explained, and said that the temple is located in the village where Guo's mother is located, Guo's mother brother is very happy, and keeps making a "turn" sound.

"This tape of yours, can you borrow it from me and take a look, I'll rip a disc and return it to you, I'll ask my wife and children to take a look."

"Take this plate, I still have it." Now the monk has become the agent of the investment promotion of the city A, and these videos of him are used to communicate with friends, as long as the friends have seen this tape, they will more or less invest some money in it for the construction and development of the city A.
