In less than 30 minutes' walk, the three-story building of the second uncle's house is in front of you. In the distance, I heard the sound of laughter and frolic in the courtyard. Yu Xi followed her mother into the courtyard gate, what she never expected was that her aunt, who had returned to the city at this time in previous years, was also there. She began to feel nervous, subconsciously looking for the last person she wanted to see in the crowd.

has already entered the door of the second uncle's house, and he can't run away from "running". After a simple smile and greetings, Yu Xi hugged Kang Kang to avoid everyone, came to the pond next to the second uncle's house, and played with his son by a pile of sand.

"Yingzi, long time no see!"

Suddenly, a deep and magnetic greeting from a man came from behind him. Yu Xi stood up and turned her head, and couldn't help but light up in her eyes, the person walking towards her was actually Xia Zhi!

"Cousin Chi... Long time no see! ”

The black knee-length trench coat wrapped around the slender and perfect figure, and a taupe scarf was held in his hand, as if it had just been plucked from the neck. The appearance of Xia Zhi is as dazzling as the warm sun in winter! Well-defined facial features, strong eyebrows and eyes, straight nose bridge, and a pair of transparent and deep talking eyes. Compared with the popular first-line film and television stars and T runway models, the image and temperament are as good as those of the popular first-line film and television stars!

Xia Zhi looked Yu Xi up and down, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for so many years, Yingzi is more beautiful than before!" But I'm still as thin as I was when I was a kid! ”

"I haven't seen you for so many years, Cousin Zhi is more handsome than before!" After speaking, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other and smile. ”

Xia Zhi has stayed in Beijing since he went to Beijing for university and has not been home for many years. Although Yu Xi didn't know what Xia Zhi was doing, he had picked up three or two sentences from his relatives, and he was already a senior executive of a well-known company in Beijing!

Xia Zhi is the adopted son of his aunt, and this karma needs to start with his uncle's uncle. My uncle's family was wealthy, with fields and shops. Unfortunately, the uncle was just coming of age just in time for the turbulent and troubled period of the invasion of China by the Oriental Ukou. The hot-blooded young man who originally lived a rich and abundant life, after a brutal sweep and killing in the Oriental U.S. Koukou, resolutely followed the Communist army, and then went to the Korean battlefield with the Volunteers to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, so he has never been able to marry a wife and have children. On the Korean battlefield, the uncle of the great uncle and the grandfather of Xia Zhi met, and the two hit it off at first sight and became friends in life and death.

The battlefield in Korea was extremely difficult, with a lack of food and medicine, hunger and cold, and the possibility of dying in the rain of bullets at any time. After more than two years of war and suffering, Xia Zhi's grandfather couldn't wait for the day of triumph, and finally died in a foreign country! has become a generation of great martyrs and heroes of the National War of Resistance!

The uncle of the eldest uncle was able to save his life and return to China, and it is said that Xia Zhi's grandfather, who was a few years older, usually took good care of him, and even gave him his share of food and medicine when he was seriously injured. In the circumstances, a little food and medicine was enough to save lives and lose their lives. After returning to his hometown, his uncle's uncle worked in a public institution in the county. He had no children and no daughters, so he lived with his nephew's family, and in addition to the usual living expenses, his salary was basically used to take care of the orphans for his comrades. helped the Xia family, who lost the breadwinner of the family, through the most difficult years.

Time came to the eighties of the last century, and Xia Zhi's father was the captain of the small city criminal police team at that time. There have always been some gangsters in the small town who have been doing evil things for many years, and have been doing business that oppresses all corners and bullies all children, and wantonly amassed ill-gotten gains. When Xia Zhi was not yet two years old, Xia's father received orders from his superiors to investigate the hidden gangs in the small town and the intricate forces behind them.

On this day, Xia's father led people to raid and take out the nest of a stronghold under the gang organization, and after capturing a group of people, Shun Teng found the nest of the gang leader. That night, Father Xia wanted to catch the gangster's lair off guard, but when they arrived, it was already empty. Father Xia blocked all the key entrances out of the city in time, cast a net to search the whole city, and finally found several gang leaders outside the moat of the small city. The gang boss probably wanted to flee to the mountains outside the city to avoid the police's attention, and the moat was at the foot of the mountain, and an old bridge over the creek led to the opposite bank.

There are unforeseen circumstances! Because it was the rainy season, the heavy rain caused the river to swell sharply, and the old bridge was almost flooded. When Xia's father and his team rushed to the head of the old bridge, several gang leaders were looking at the precarious old bridge in the turbulent river and did not dare to move forward. But then a pursuer arrived, and they had to step on the accelerator and drive the car onto the old bridge. Father Xia didn't think for a moment, and also stepped on the accelerator to chase after him, but his men didn't have time to stop it, and the car had already gone to the old bridge. But at this moment, the weather-beaten old bridge burst its embankment! The criminals were instantly drowned in the surging flood with people and cars, and Xia's father did not escape the disaster, and his young life died in the flood! Xia's father died young, but his short career in the police force was already full of meritorious achievements, and he was posthumously named a martyr by the government!

With a toddler waiting to be fed on one side and a heavy blow from losing her husband on the other, Xia Zhi's mother suffers from several pressures in life and spirit. Fortunately, the help of relatives and friends helped her get through the most difficult days. Especially Xiao Zhou, the driver of Xia's father before his death, gave Xia Zhi's mother and son a lot of meticulous care in life. Two years later, in the persuasion of relatives and Xiao Zhou's unsung efforts, his mother took Xia Zhi and Xiao Zhou to get married. Xia Zhi's stepfather retreated to the second line at this time, driving a car in a state-owned enterprise to run transportation; A year later, her mother gave birth to a younger sister for Xia Zhi.

People have good and bad luck! Xia's mother accidentally moved the fetal gas during housework, resulting in premature birth for more than a month. The stepfather was running a long distance at the time, and relatives and neighbors who rushed to Wen Xun sent her to the hospital, but she lost too much blood during childbirth, and the blood inventory in the hospital was insufficient.

The young Xia Zhi lost a parent again, although he didn't understand the human feelings of the adult world, and he didn't have the sensitive emotions of an adult, but the death of his mother seemed to make him grow up and be sensible overnight. I have been sitting on the edge of the shaker, looking at my sister who is sleeping on the shaker in a daze. The sadness of the stepfather can be imagined, he has to take care of his newborn daughter and Xia Zhi, and he has to be busy running around for his livelihood, and he seems to have aged and haggard a lot overnight at a young age!

It was at this time that the uncle of the eldest uncle came up with the idea of taking Xia Zhi to his side. Although he is already an old man, he has a retirement salary, and he thinks that he can raise Xia Zhi as an adult and reduce the burden on his stepfather. The stepfather did not let go at first, and was determined to raise the leader's son to adulthood, but after the old man repeatedly analyzed the pros and cons, the relatives of the Xia family did not object, and Xia Zhi's stepfather finally agreed to the old man's proposal.

Xia Zhi and Yu Xi's cousin relationship came from this.
