Chapter 167: Sad and Lamentable
The snowy mountain roads are inaccessible, and the desolate cries of crows make it even quieter.
Shen Yunqi's mood was heavy, and he led Duan Huan to walk slowly on the muddy mountain road, firmly grasping Jian Huan to prevent her from falling.
When I arrived at a hillside, I saw a lonely tomb standing there, and the tombstone was engraved with "Shen Rulan's Tomb", and the person who erected the monument was Shen Yunqi.
Only then did she find out that her uncle actually took his mother's surname.
It is now in this era of chanting "women can hold up half the sky", unless the man is the son-in-law, the child will take the mother's surname, and the child will generally follow the father's surname.
During the Republican period, old and new ideas collided alternately, but it was impossible to open up to this point, right?
"Uncle? Do you take your mother's last name? Duan Huan said while pulling weeds.
Shen Yunqi didn't mean to be embarrassed when he heard it, and replied directly: "Well, after your grandma left, I went to live in a foreign house, so I followed my mother's surname!"
After cleaning up the wild grass, Shen Yunqi stroked the tombstone and said:
"Mother, my son is not filial, and I couldn't get my little sister back in the end, but I brought my little sister's child! Little fish, come, give your grandma a salute! ”
"Hello grandma!" Wan Huan bowed.
I feel that the women of that era are really sad and lamentable.
As a mother of two children, Shen Rulan took revenge on her husband's humiliation in such a tragic way, regardless of a pair of children.
But in the end, it did not change the scumbag's decision to marry someone else, and the bitter fruit was tasted by her two children.
Shen Yunqi's little boy lost his mother, and Shen Yunqing was also lost in the chaos.
For many years, Shen Yunqi felt guilty that he accidentally lost his little sister.
It is not said that Shen Rulan is responsible for these things, but Shen Rulan, as a mother, left her children and chose to die without any explanation, which is an inappropriate behavior.
Shen Yunqi squatted in front of the tombstone and spoke for a while before preparing to go down the mountain with Huanhuan.
At this time, I saw an old man in his fifties and sixties going up the mountain on crutches, with a handful of yellow and white chrysanthemums.
When it has already snowed a few times, it is rare to see flowers, and it is estimated that they were cultivated in the greenhouse.
"Ah Chen?!" The old man looked at Shen Yunqi, and his tone was very excited and happy.
Shen Yunqi held Duan Huan's hand and couldn't help but tighten up, and Duan Huan found that Shen Yunqi's face was as cold as ice, obviously not in a good mood.
This old man was holding a chrysanthemum, obviously coming to sweep the tomb, and Shen Yunqi still didn't want to see him.
It can't be the legendary scumbag, right?
Is it such a coincidence?
Shen Yunqi had a cold face, "My name is Shen Yunqi, not Ah Chen!" You may have misrecognized someone! ”
"Ah Chen, I know you hate me," the old man's expression looked very sad, "You think I killed your mother, but at that time we divorced peacefully, and I didn't expect ......"
The smile on the corner of Shen Yunqi's lips mocked, "Forget it, don't bother to explain, do you think I will believe it?" If you want to explain, go underground and explain it to my mother! ”
After finishing speaking, Shen Yunqi pulled Duan Huan and prepared to move forward.
"Ah Chen! Ah Chen! The old man hurriedly blocked their way.
Shen Yunqi laughed angrily, "Don't come here with a pretense, you really shouldn't come here, I'm afraid you'll trample on my mother's grave!"
Besides, you came here, you came here with a crooked appearance, do your wives and children know?
Don't do something at that time, and disturb my mother's peace again! ”
"Ah Chen, do you have to talk to my father like this?" The old man took a few deep breaths before speaking.
Shen Yunqi sneered, "Father who got married on the day my mother committed suicide?" Or is my little sister lost as an invisible father? ”
"I ...... I know I'm sorry for you brothers and sisters! The old man was stabbed in the chest by Shen Yunqi's words, "I've been looking for it all these years, but it's ......"
Shen Yunqi's tone was still mocking, "Let that woman find it, right?" I'm really glad I wasn't found by her, otherwise my little sister might have ended up even worse! ”
"Ah Chen, what are you talking about! Your Aunt Zheng is not that kind of person! The old man said categorically: "When your mother died, your Aunt Zheng was a vegetarian and filial piety for a whole year, you can't think of her so badly!" ”
Shen Yunqi waved his hand, "Since she is so virtuous and virtuous, don't take my mother's dowry!" You go back and ask her to vacate the house in Ju'er Hutong. ”
"Didn't your family take away the house in Ju'er Hutong a long time ago?" The old man was in disbelief.
Shen Yunqi snorted, "It's your current sister-in-law's family who lives inside, give them three days to move out, otherwise I'm not welcome at that time!" ”
"When, when did this happen?" The old man felt incredulous: "Do I remember that her family lives in Fried Bean Hutong?" ”
"I didn't know before, but now the deed is in my hands, and I'll collect the house in three days!" Shen Yunqi pulled the joy and left.
"Wait a minute! Let me ask again," the old man took Shen Yunqi's hand, "Who is this little girl?" I haven't heard that you are married, now is the critical period for your promotion, Ah Chen, don't be confused! ”
Shen Yunqi shook off the old man's hand and glanced at him with disdain:
"You think I'm going to be like you? This is the only blood and bone left by my little sister, my mother's dowry, except for my little sister and this child, no one is qualified to take it, especially you and that woman! ”
The old man squirmed his lips, his eyes and expressions were complicated, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Shen Yunqi didn't even look at him, and directly pulled Duan Huan straight down the mountain.
"Uncle, don't be sad!" Wan Huan shook Shen Yunqi's hand and comforted him.
Shen Yunqi smiled on his face, "Xiao Yu'er is nervous, uncle is not sad, he has been used to it for so many years!" ”
The more I heard him say this, the more sad she felt, so her eyebrows tightened.
"What are you doing with your frowns, let's go quickly, my uncle will take you to my uncle's house to eat delicious food!" Shen Yunqi hugged Duan Huan as soon as he could.
Huan Huan was very surprised by Shen Yunqi's words, "Uncle? ”
"Yes, my uncle is my uncle's uncle!" Shen Yunqi said: "Grandma's cooking is delicious! ”
Wan Huan was dazed by a string of tongue twisters about his uncle.
Shen Yunqi drove with Duan Huan and did not return to the city, but went directly to the highway and galloped.
Although the sun was shining, at this time, the jeep was not very well sealed, and the wind still came in through the gap in the window.
More than two hours later, Shen Yunqi's car stopped in front of a farmhouse's yard.
Shen Yunqi carried a few bags of snacks, led Duan Huan into the courtyard without knocking on the door, and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Uncle, aunt, I'm back!" ”
At the mouth of the well in the courtyard, a chubby old lady was sitting on a small bench, rubbing her clothes.
"Yun Qi'er, are you back?" Mrs. Shen put down her scrubbed clothes and quickly stood up, "Yo! Who is this little daughter? ”
"Auntie, I found my little sister, this is my little sister's daughter!" Shen Yunqi put the dim sum on the table in the living room, "Little fish, call your uncle and grandma!" ”
Duan Huan hurriedly said hello, "Hello uncle, my big name is Xu Qian Huan, you can also call me Xiao Yu'er!" ”
"Okay, good," Mrs. Shen touched Wan Huan's head, "What about Xiao Yunqing?" Why didn't you come back with you? ”
