Uncle Jiang glanced at Xu Yueqing playfully, and patted her forehead lightly, "You girl, what is Uncle Jiang for, you don't know?" You still need to ask me about this old man. ”

Xu Yueqing, who was seen through and thoughtful, winked at Uncle Jiang mischievously, then looked at Zhuo Xiangyu and raised her eyebrows to indicate that she had done her best, and he couldn't hear the answer he wanted to hear, it all depended on Uncle Jiang's mood.

Xu Yueqing's facial expressions were fully seen by Uncle Jiang, and Uncle Jiang, who brought her up with one hand, only needed to know what she was thinking at a glance.

It turned out that I didn't ask for myself, but for the men around me!

Jiang Bo carefully looked at Zhuo Xiangyu from top to bottom, to say that compared with eight or nine years, Zhuo Xiangyu has indeed changed a lot. He still remembered that when he found himself, he had not yet returned to his hometown, and he was much more arrogant than he was now.

Although he watched him grow up, he was really impulsive like a hairy boy at that time, and his first reaction when he saw him was to ask him about the whereabouts of his young lady.

He repeatedly emphasized that the young lady had not come to him, so he gave up. As a result, two days later, he came to him again, saying that he had bought the Jiang family's old mansion back, hoping that he could become the housekeeper of that house again.

How did you answer? Wait until you find my young lady and then talk about being a housekeeper!

Jiang Bo, who thought of this, raised a smile on his face, and then brought up the question again when Zhuo Xiangyu didn't know why, "Uncle, I can't agree to your request!" ”

This time it was Xu Yueqing's turn to look puzzled, and Zhuo Xiangyu's expression changed from incomprehension at the beginning to mysterious and unpredictable later.

"I want to know the reason for your old man's refusal."

"I didn't think about going out of this mountain again after I came back. What's more, I'm an old bone and can't stand the bumps anymore, so there's nothing wrong here. ”

When he said the last sentence, Jiang Bo's expression suddenly became very gentle, as if he was missing something beautiful.

As soon as Zhuo Nianqi saw Uncle Jiang's expression, he knew that there must be a story hidden in this reason, and he loved to listen to stories the most, so he took Uncle Jiang's hand and kept shaking and being coquettish.

Jiang Bo couldn't stand the coquettish aggression of children, so he quickly disarmed and surrendered, satisfying Zhuo Nianqi's curiosity to hear the story.

"When I was young, I relied on my family to help me with a family affair and married a good-looking girl in the area. Because he wanted to make a grand career, he left his wife and children at home very early. Later, when I got out of this small mountain village, I realized how difficult the outside world was. Later, I met the old lady, they thought I was honest and reliable, and it happened that my surname was Jiang, which was also my family, so they hired me to Jiang's house as a helper, and then promoted me step by step to become a housekeeper. ”

Hearing this, Zhuo Nianqi interjected curiously, "As a housekeeper, then Grandpa Jiang, have you taken your wife and children to the Jiang family to live with you?" ”

Zhuo Nianqi made Uncle Jiang's expression very weird, and he shook his head regretfully, "No, I was only thinking about helping the old lady take care of the huge Jiang family, and I forgot that my purpose in the first place was just to let my wife and children live a comfortable and stable life." ”

"Until one day, my neighbor's younger brother, who was ten years younger than me, came out and met me, and he recognized me at a sight. Then I remembered that I still had a wife and children at home in a small mountain village. I asked him about the situation at home, and only then did I learn that my son had died of illness in the third year after I left the house, and that my daughter-in-law, who could not be contacted, re-informed her family under the help of her mother's family. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Bo's tears fell again, Zhuo Nianqi hurriedly handed him a handkerchief, Jiang Bo touched Zhuo Nianqi's head, and then lowered his head and fell into the memory.

"When I heard the news, I was very angry, but I was completely helpless. After all, it was I who left their mother and son behind to let this family die and scatter.

My daughter-in-law is a good woman, and she did not abandon my elderly father because she remarried, but still treated him as filial as her own father. But because of this, it attracted the dissatisfaction of her later husband.

Everyone in the village knew that her future husband liked to drink and beat people when he got drunk. He always suspected that she couldn't let go of me, so he often punched and kicked her when she drank, and even aborted the child in her belly. ”

Xu Yueqing covered her mouth in disbelief. She never knew that Uncle Jiang had a family, she only thought that he had never married, but she didn't expect that there would be such a story.

"When I heard that she had a miscarriage, her family took her back again. But she didn't do well, and her eldest brother and sister-in-law were very disgusted with her sister.

When I went back again, she hated me very much, she knew that I was back but refused to open the door to see me, and her eldest brother and sister-in-law couldn't do anything to her. I knew I was sorry for her, and I stayed in her house for a long time only to be disappointed. But I didn't expect that my lack of persistence actually killed her. ”

"Not long after I returned to Jiang's house again, I received the news of her death, and I couldn't think of drinking pesticides. By the time her eldest brother and sister-in-law found out, everyone was already stiff, and when I heard the news, my whole body froze.

I hurt her, so I didn't care about her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and insisted on putting her in the ancestral grave of my Jiang family. It's the Jiang family who is sorry for her, I have lived for most of my life, I didn't have enough time and energy to put it in this family when I was young, and at this time, I just want to do my last bit of strength to accompany her and make up for my guilt and anxiety over the years. ”

Xu Yueqing listened to this story, and only felt that Uncle Jiang's daughter-in-law's resolute temperament coincided with her before, and she couldn't help herself with tears in her eyes. But Uncle Jiang has dedicated her whole life to her home, so in addition to appeasing his emotions, she can't even say the slightest word of comment.

Jiang Bo also knew that his sentimentality was so sad that he couldn't wait to bring the whole house to water, maybe he had been blaming himself for a long time, but speaking again, Jiang Bo's emotions were not as sad as Xu Yueqing's uncontrollable.

Looking at the photo album spread out on the table, Uncle Jiang let out a long breath of turbidity, "Uncle Jiang won't live long, and now he has only one wish." When I am a hundred years later, let me bury myself with my daughter-in-law, so that I can really accompany her, no matter whether she really hates me or not, I will never abandon her again! ”

Zhuo Nianqi also felt that Jiang Bo's story was too tragic, and his eyes were red. Only Zhuo Xiangyu, who was beside Xu Yueqing, had been holding Xu Yueqing's shoulders tightly. It is undeniable that he is rejoicing, Uncle Jiang and his wife are a lifetime if they miss it, compared with his ten years, he is extremely glad that he has never given up for a moment in these ten years.

A group of people were sad and sad enough, Uncle Jiang deliberately changed the topic in order to drive away the dull atmosphere, "Don't talk about Uncle Jiang and me, these are old things, no matter how you say it, you can only earn your tears, but you ......"

Xu Yueqing wiped her tears, reluctantly pulled out a smile, and deliberately pretended to be stupid, "What's wrong with us?" Didn't you tell Uncle Jiang? Before, I was ignorant and caused Xiangyu to look for me everywhere, but now the family of three is very good together! ”

Uncle Jiang shook his head, making Xu Yueqing unconsciously clench the corners of her clothes, "Girl, you know that Uncle Jiang is asking this, Uncle Jiang is not easy to fool." There's no reason, you won't suddenly come to see Uncle Jiang and me at this time! ”

"Say it! What do you want to ask Uncle Jiang about this time? ”

Xu Yueqing and Zhuo Xiangyu looked at each other, obviously not expecting that Jiang Bo would ask them so directly about their intentions this time.

Zhuo Xiangyu squeezed Xu Yueqing's hand and encouraged her to answer truthfully, thinking about the purpose of their visit this time, Xu Yueqing took a deep breath before speaking.

"Recently, I have been investigating the Jiang family's affairs back then. Because I have some questions, I specially came to Uncle Jiang for verification. Moreover, I think Uncle Jiang must know something, otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed here for more than ten years! ”

Xu Yueqing's speculation is not unreasonable, Jiang Bo didn't go anywhere after leaving the Jiang family, but the reason why he chose to return to his hometown was not just to take advantage of the last day to accompany his deceased wife.

More importantly, he knew that Xu Yueqing would definitely come to him, and Xu Yueqing, who had lost contact, could find him. In addition to the Jiang family's old house, there is only this hometown where she would come to live for two days every summer vacation when she was very young. Therefore, if he doesn't tell Xu Yueqing what he thinks in his heart for a day, he won't leave his hometown.

Hearing the words that have been held in his heart for so many years, he can finally have an explanation, no matter how sentimental the previous topic was, Jiang Bodu laughed loudly, "I really can't hide anything from Miss!" ”

"So Uncle Jiang, you really know more or less about what happened back then, right?" Xu Yueqing's face was surprised, and her hand with Zhuo Xiangyu tightened unconsciously.

Uncle Jiang nodded, and slowly said to Xu Yueqing what he knew, "Although I don't know much, it should be helpful for the young lady to investigate the affairs of the Jiang family." ”

"I remember that a Hong Kong man who spoke Mandarin very poorly came to my house, I don't remember what the name was, but the lord and the lady should have told the young lady."

Xu Yueqing was stunned, frowned and thought for a while before suddenly realized, "Although I haven't heard my parents talk about my name, I always remember that my surname is Fang, and my parents also warned me to call him Uncle Fang politely, Uncle Jiang, are you talking about him?" ”

Jiang Bo nodded, "After seeing this Mr. Fang, the lord and his wife seemed to be very happy, and they also told me that they had to meet a very important person this time, as if only by meeting this person, the cooperation case could be negotiated." ”
