Chapter 56: The Remembrance of a Letter Destroys Conscience

On this day, Lele was roasting the fire and chatting about the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the family went to the new home to see what to do when the time came. After the arrangement is completed, I will transfer the processing workshop in the village to my aunt, and I will have to discuss it with my grandfather and them at that time......

"Is Brother Huang at home?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Lele's door is not locked during the day, and now it should be an uncle from the village who comes in.

"It's Uncle Liu and Second Uncle Liu, do you have something to do with my father?" Lele ran out and saw that it was the two brothers of the Liu family of the third team.

"It's Lele, doesn't the second uncle's family know how to read? Today, my second uncle received a letter, I heard that it was sent from Taiwan, and I want to find your father to read it to me. Second Uncle Liu said.

Lele took the letter and looked at it, it was all traditional characters, and then looked at the address of the letter, it was really sent from Taiwan. He said,

"My mother is at home, you have to believe my mother's words, you can ask my mother to read it to you."

"Trust, trust, go, let your mother read the letter for us." Lele took the second uncle of the Liu family to the kitchen.

Uncle Liu and Second Uncle Liu arrived in the kitchen, greeted their grandfather first, and told them about his coming.

Mom took the letter handed to her by Lele and opened it in front of everyone, the letter was written by the second uncle and their father. said that he went to Taiwan during the Republic of China, and now he is still alone and wants to come back to find his roots.

As soon as I read this letter, my grandfather was excited, it was his partner, and after so many years, everyone thought he was gone. Fortunately, his daughter-in-law did not remarry, but raised the two children by herself.

Second Uncle Liu has never seen his father, and when his father was arrested to be a strong man, he was still in his **'s belly. His eldest brother still saw it when he was a child. It's just that so many years have passed, and they have long forgotten that there is such a father.

Looking at their appearance, very dazed, the brothers asked their grandfather:

"Uncle Huang, are you really talking about my father?" No mistakes, no word skipping.

"Of course it's true, your father's name is Liu Xianhua, is it wrong? He wasn't wrong about the year he was captured, who else could he be if it wasn't your father? Grandpa was a little angry when he heard what they said, and his goatee shook and trembled.

After listening to them for a long time, Lele remembered his previous life, and it seemed that there was a grandfather who came back from Taiwan who often came to their house. It's just that his life after he came back was very miserable.

The old lady of the Liu family is quite strong, and after talking to his son a few times, Grandpa Liu decided to return to the village the next year. At that time, the whole village welcomed him back, and at first, his two sons treated him well, and the two brothers had already separated. The eldest pension's wife, since his father is back, he will live with the old 2.

The old lady was very happy to see that her children and grandchildren were full. It's just that he has been out for too long, and he no longer speaks the local dialect, and speaks Mandarin with a strong Hokkien language, which no one in the village can understand. He often went to Lele and their house, first, he was a good brother with his grandfather in the past; The second is that only Lele and his family can understand what he says and can communicate with him.

At that time, the life of the Liu family was still relatively difficult, and as soon as Grandpa Liu came back, he gathered his two sons together and gave each a few hundred dollars. When his sons took the money and went to the bank to get it back, it happened.

We can't say that it's all the money to blame, but that their family's original conscience is not much left, and as soon as the old lady leaks the money, the "explosives" hidden in their hearts have a fuse, and the "boom" all explodes.

The boss said that his father was biased towards the old 2, and he must have secretly given the old 2 money; The second child also said that his father must have secretly given money to his mother and used it for the eldest child.

The two brothers were arguing and using their father's money to build a house. The eight years of biogas digesters had just been heard in their village, and the brothers had built the first biogas digester in the village.

Slowly, they felt that the old father had no money, so they didn't care whether the old father was hungry or cold. In this winter, he also drove him to live in the firewood house, let him fend for himself, and took away the old man's better clothes.

Lele still remembers that it was a cold winter, and Grandpa Liu, who was wearing thin clothes, came to their house sadly and complained to his grandfather:

"Lao Huang, I found this root, but that root is rotten."

Grandpa Liu sat by the fire, still feeling cold because he was wearing too little, but he was embarrassed to say that he might feel that he was already very sorry for them when he often ate at Huang's house, so why was he embarrassed to ask them for clothes to wear again?

The fire in their house is already very small, and no matter how bad Grandpa's eyes are, he can also see that Grandpa Liu is shivering with cold. Grandpa didn't say a word, and immediately went to his box and took out a black cloth cotton coat, the cotton in the cotton coat was already a very solid kind. So he said to Grandpa Liu a little apologetically:

"Lao Liu, I have two cotton clothes, and I will wear the new cotton clothes made by my daughter-in-law. Although this old cotton coat is old cotton, don't dislike it, put it on first."

Grandpa Liu was moved to tears at that time, and choked up while wearing cotton clothes:

"Lao Huang, you say, what am I doing with hunger and cold? This is all the evil root of my own self-inflicted revenge, I can have a full meal, or you give it, my sons and grandsons, they are just ungrateful wolf cubs, no, I have touched all my money, not to mention, even my clothes have been taken away......"

"Lao Liu, you should have no son, you are hungry, come to my brother's house to eat, my eldest daughter-in-law is good, I will not dislike eating with one more person." If you can't live at home, my brother will ask my daughter-in-law to build you another bed in our house. We're all so old, and we don't have a few years left to live, and you want to open up. Grandpa patted Grandpa Liu's shoulder and said.

Even so, Grandpa Liu was at Lele's house during the day, and he still went back to live in that small firewood house at night.

Grandpa also tried his best to bring him his own clothes to wear, but Grandpa Liu couldn't survive that winter after all......

I heard from the person who found out that Grandpa Liu had passed away said that he was wearing all the clothes that his grandfather gave him, and he was sitting under a tree on the floor of the village. He was covered in grains of unmelted snow......

It was a light snowy night, was it something that made Grandpa Liu think about it so much? How sad are you still sitting outside on such a cold day?

The whole village is accusing the two brothers of the Liu family, but no matter how much they accuse, Grandpa Liu is no longer there

On the day of Grandpa Liu's white event, the coffins were all made by the people in the village. Hearing the howl of the Liu family, they even spat at their side, and after Grandpa Liu was buried, no one went to the Liu family.

No one has any contact with the Liu family anymore, and if anyone has children, they always use their family as an anti-teaching material. They also don't let their children go to Liu's house, or even let their children play with their children

Grandpa Liu died, and Grandpa was sad and sad for a long time. He often nags in his mouth: Didn't this Lao Liu tell him that he had no place to live, so he came to find him? Why is he so stupid......

Doesn't the saying say: good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, it's not that it is not reported, but the time has not yet come?

Since the death of Grandpa Liu, not long after, Second Uncle Liu went hunting with his son with a sand gun, and heard his son say that they saw a hare, and Second Uncle Liu raised his gun to shoot, but the rabbit did not hit, and the bullet ejected from the back or still, so that he suffered a serious gunshot wound to his shoulder, and when he went to the health center for treatment, I heard that the doctor took out a lot of iron sand in his wound.

And Uncle Liu just went to the mountains to chop wood, chopping and chopping, and somehow suddenly chopped his own feet, and later his son carried him back.

The brothers' injuries were not healed, and the eldest son of the second uncle was bitten by a poisonous tongue when he went up the mountain, and he almost died, and it took half a year of medical treatment to recover. There is not a single member of this family who has not been injured in the course of a year.

As a result, the people in the village began to say that their family had now suffered retribution, and the old lady had come back from Taiwan, and you had not only taken all his money, but also taken away all his clothes, and did not even give him food. This is when he came back to you unfilial sons and taught you a lesson

The Liu family was empty-hearted, and when they saw that the people in the village were far away from their homes, they went out to greet people and no one paid attention to them, and some people even turned around when they saw their house, and they didn't want to walk face to face with them. The brothers asked their daughter-in-law to carry the chicken and ask the goddess what to do, so that the old father would forgive them.

The daughter-in-law came back and told them that the goddess had told them to burn incense at the place where the old lady had died on the first day of the month, to count all their sins and ask for his forgiveness.

On the first day of the next month, the adults and children of the Liu family came to the village under the tree where Grandpa Liu died, and the people in the village also spread the word of ten or hundred, all gathered in that area, listening to the adults and children of the Liu family confessing to the dead old lady Liu.

Originally, the villagers who just despised the Liu family and listened to them talk about how to drive Grandpa Liu to live in the firewood house; how the grandson who was bitten by the snake stole his grandfather's money; how the little granddaughter locked the kitchen door; How did the eldest son take away his father's clothes......

For a while, the villagers turned from the initial uproar to anger, and collectively said that they would drive their whole family out of the village, if it were not for the village chief who said:

"If we drive people away, won't we be the same as those whose conscience has been eaten by dogs?" No mistakes, no word skipping.

Although it was difficult to calm the anger of the public with such a sentence, everyone said that Grandpa Liu knew that his unfilial descendants should find retribution From that day on, everyone was farther away from their home......

Thinking of this, Lele couldn't help but look at the Liu family brothers, they didn't look good, and they didn't look like broad-minded people.

The brothers are both thin and withered, with small eyebrows and sharp beaks, and they look very much like their old lady Lele has always disliked to look like this, whether male or female, she doesn't like it

In this life, she didn't want Grandpa Liu to come back at all, Grandpa Liu was over seventy years old when he came back, and he had to suffer from his children and grandchildren, and even her own grandfather was sad, so she didn't want such a cup to happen again

So Lele quietly wrote down the mailing address and zip code, she thought: Another day, she quietly wrote to Grandpa Liu to explain the situation at home, and by the way, mentioned the situation of his two sons and grandchildren, hoping that he would consider and consider it carefully.
