Chapter 345: Brother Zong
Brother Zong washed up and changed into a clean cloth robe. After another hot meal, his complexion was much better, he looked quite upright, a little more delicate than his father, but his complexion was not very good, and there were some slight scars and scratches on his forehead and cheeks, which were lined with a slightly pale complexion, which became more and more conspicuous.
When he saw Hu Fei, he didn't recognize it at first, but he thought that the family members of the family had arrived, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and was about to kneel down again, but when he saw Chunying following behind, he remembered her words, and hurriedly changed his movements and turned into a big bow: "I've seen the master!" ”
Hu Fei frowned, held him, and looked at it carefully. Brother Zong was a little dazed: "Master? ”
Chunying said to Hu Fei on the side: "Now that it has been cleaned up, it is much better than before." You don't know that when I saw him on the street, he looked like he was even worse than the kids playing on the side of the street! It's only slightly better than the street children we saw when we were vendors. ”
Brother Zong shrank his neck a little uneasily: "Grandma......"
Hu Fei sighed: "What are you called, grandma?!" I'm your second uncle! This is your second aunt! You don't remember? When I was a kid, I used to play with you. You're not the one who likes to chase after me. Tell me to buy you lanterns? ”
Brother Zong was stunned and stayed for a while before he shouted in disbelief: "Second uncle?!" Are you the second uncle?! He stared at Hu Fei carefully and looked at him again and again, and saw him show a familiar smile, so he hugged him and cried: "Second uncle! Second uncle! Where have you been?! I miss you so much!! ”
Hu Fei's eyes flashed with tears, and he kept patting Brother Zong'er on the back, and said comfortingly: "Okay, okay, the second uncle knows that you have suffered all these years, and the clansmen say that you were sent to study in other places by the people in the fourth room, I didn't expect you to be in such a situation, fortunately, your aunt recognized you on the street, and your hard days will come to an end from now on." ”
When Brother Zong heard his words, he cried even more fiercely. Chunying had to step forward to comfort him with Hu Fei. waited until he finally calmed down, then pulled him to sit down, personally poured a cup of hot tea for him and Hu Fei, and said, "Cry, vent, just forget all those things." ”
Brother Zong hurriedly got up and bowed: "I didn't know it was my aunt before, but my nephew was rude." Chun Ying hurriedly smiled and helped him up: "Where do you recognize me?" It's normal not to know. I saw that there were a lot of people at that time, and it was difficult to ask too much, so I thought about bringing you back. Over the years, we didn't know your situation, but we only heard that you were doing well in the fourth room, so we didn't ask much. You've probably heard of that, right? Your second uncle's situation in the clan a few years ago was a little embarrassing, and many times it was wrong to even say a word. Even if we have the heart to inquire about your situation, we will believe what others say. If only you had known that your life would be difficult. We're not going to pick you up until today. ”
Brother Zong nodded: "Yes, in the past, at the fourth grandfather's place, I heard people say ......" After a pause, he glanced at Hu Fei with some hesitation, Hu Fei smiled: "I want to know what they say about me, I must say that I am an unfilial son, killed my father, and delusionally plotted for family property, right?" Brother Zong said uncomfortably: "I don't believe it, the second uncle treats people so kindly, how can he kill grandpa?" But...... As soon as my father heard me say this, he beat me......"
Hu Fei seemed to feel a little relieved, and smiled: "It's good if you can trust me." Your father is just a thief with a weak heart, so he put the blame on my head. How your grandfather died, only he and his mother know best! ”
Brother Zong was taken aback and was shocked. Chun Ying hurriedly said: "Your second uncle has held back a lot of resentment in his heart over the years, and he was angry for a while, and he didn't take into account your thoughts, don't blame him for speaking too straight." Back then, your second uncle, mother and son were really wronged, and your little grandmother passed away a few days later. Your second uncle was so sad that he almost followed! Later, he worked hard to make a living in the capital, and finally achieved something, but was forced to leave by your father. I can't tell you about all these years for a while, so I'll tell you slowly in the future. As for your father...... He is now in Jiangnan with his family, and his life is not good, your second uncle thinks that they are all flesh and blood, and he has been helping them, although he has not had a good face, in the end he has done his best. He's been worried about you all these years. Because your father didn't mention a word about you, he couldn't hear the truth from the clansmen in the capital, so he had to believe that you were really doing well with the fourth old lady. ”
Brother Zong'er's eyes gradually turned red, and he choked up: "Auntie, don't say it anymore, my father ...... How to behave, the nephew knows very well in his heart. He has always been ...... ......He wiped his eyes suddenly, "When my mother left, she hugged me and didn't let go, I cried and shouted for my mother not to leave, but he said...... But he said...... If I want to follow my mother, it's no problem, but from now on I won't be his son again...... My mother pushed me away and left crying. But my father turned around and sent me to the fourth grandfather, only saying that when the new grandmother entered the door, I couldn't go home, and I wasn't allowed to call him ...... dad in front of people." "The fourth grandfather is very good to me...... But my father ...... The fourth grandfather's family was not wealthy, because of me, I had to bear the debt owed by my father and sold almost all the fields. The fourth grandfather was also sick, and he almost couldn't even get enough money for medicine...... When he died, I really hated my father......" At this point, he cried bitterly.
Hu Fei listened to his words, and the resentment towards the fourth room in his heart was reduced a little, thinking that it was not easy for their family. Chunying exchanged glances with him, and then asked softly: "So, when you left the fourth room, you didn't actually have too many complaints about his family in your heart?" But how have we heard that you are like a slave in his house......"
Brother Zong shook his head while crying: "His family has a large population and is poor, I just help to do more work, but it will cause them to be gossiped about by others." He has four or five younger siblings in his family, and it is not easy to feed them. I've already killed the fourth grandfather, I can't hurt them anymore......" Hu Fei hurriedly said: "You can't say that, the fourth old lady originally had good intentions, but your father just affected his family." Don't worry, I'll send someone to his house to see if they have any problems, and they'll solve them for them. It is also to repay the kindness of the fourth old lady for raising you. ”
Chunying sighed in her heart, there are some things that don't ask the parties, and she really doesn't know what's going on. She originally thought that the people in the fourth room of the Hu family were angry with the child because they resented Hu Peng for owing huge debts to their family, but she didn't expect that it was Brother Zong who was unwilling to affect his family. However, from this incident, it can be seen that this child has a good character, and his father is simply the same as heaven and earth.
Chunying gave Hu Fei a look, Hu Fei nodded slightly, then patted Brother Zong'er on the shoulder and said, "You stay here first." I'll take you back to your clan tomorrow. Your father has no other son-in-law besides you, he himself left the ancestral incense sacrifice and ran to the south, these things will naturally be borne by you, but don't worry, everything is there with the second uncle, and your aunt and I will help you. I heard your aunt say that you have learned some bad things in the past two years, and you can't show it again in the future, although we are businessmen, but we are not comparable to ordinary outbreaks, don't make people laugh. ”
Brother Zong bowed his head, with a little apprehension, a little uneasiness, and a little peace of mind and expectation, he took three steps back, and kowtowed to Hu Fei and Chunying again: "Thank you uncle and aunt for your mercy, ...... in the future." It's all up to my uncle and aunt! ”
Chunying hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and the three of them chatted until dark, and she asked someone to clean up the room, and then assigned a mother-in-law to take care of Brother Zong'er, and then left him with Hu Fei and returned to the backyard.
Sitting down in the room, she smiled and said to Hu Fei: "Looking at Brother Zong'er's temperament, it is very different from his father, and we can breathe a sigh of relief in the future." ”
Hu Fei nodded, frowned again, and said, "I see that although he said respectful words in his mouth, there was still some hesitation in his eyes, as if he didn't believe that we were really kind enough to help him." ”
Chunying smiled: "When you left home, he was still young, what can you know?" I've heard bad things about you in other people's mouths all these years...... "After a pause, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, "It's strange, since he is used to hearing others say that kind of thing, and he said that Hu Peng beat him when he heard him talk about him, why was he so excited when he heard you say that it was his second uncle?" "It's like a good relationship with a relative, reunited after a long absence," Ruo said...... He already knew you were a good person. I was wronged back then, and when I heard your words, I didn't look like I was pretending......"
Hu Fei's face became a little weird, and after a while, he laughed out loud: "Good boy! You almost fooled me! ”
Chunying was amused and annoyed again: "He was on the street before, looking stupid, as if he was used to being beaten and scolded by Ah Fan, but I didn't expect to have such a scheming!" Then his words are not sincere?! Although she was pitiful that he had been wronged since he was a child, she was really annoyed that her good intentions were ruined.
Hu Fei smiled and patted her hand, and said, "It's okay, the people of our Hu family are all scheming, it's strange that a stupid person like Hu Peng will be born, and I don't know if he is my father's seed!" In short, Brother Zong will stay in Beijing to support the portal in the future, we can't protect him all the time, it's a good thing to have some scheming. ”
Chunying was still a little uncomfortable in her heart: "I'm afraid that he doesn't really respect us, I don't want to save someone back, but it will become trouble!" Thinking that this trouble was likely to affect her son, her brow furrowed even tighter.
Hu Fei smiled: "What are you afraid of? As you just said, he was young when I left home, what can I know? He grew up in that situation, and it's not surprising that we were suspicious. Over time, he will always know that we have good intentions. Besides, we only want to expel Hu Peng from the clan, and in the future, we will spread out in the south of the Yangtze River, and no matter how scheming he is in the capital, it will not hinder our affairs. ”
Chunying thought about it, and her face softened a lot: "You're right, it's not us who drove him away, it wasn't us who sent him to the fourth room, it wasn't us who forced the fourth old lady to repay his debts, and it wasn't because we left the fourth room, I accidentally met him on the street and rescued him, and we will help him inherit the family business in the future, we not only have no enmity with him, but even have great grace!" Why does he have to get along with us? It doesn't matter if you have some scheming. ”
Hu Fei nodded, suddenly grabbed Chunying's hand, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly. Chunying was caught off guard for a while, and was caught by him, she was first shocked in her heart, then smiled and slapped him: "What are you doing?" There is no sign at all, and he is talking about serious business! ”
Hu Fei hugged her tightly and muttered: "When I see Brother Zong today, I am really sad, don't blame him for pretending in front of us, if you change me, you won't completely believe in people......"
Chunying's heart softened, nestled into his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Are you ...... Remembered the past? ”
Hu Fei rested his chin lightly on the top of her head, and said with his chin bowed: "If I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I'm not as good as him!" He also has four old ladies in the clan to take care of, although Hu Peng has made him suffer a lot of grievances, so he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, I look at his etiquette, and there are also some rules, which shows that the four old ladies are still very careful in raising him. He's met a good guy. And I'm ...... It's really God's mercy, when I was desperate, I met you and my second uncle, as well as those neighbors on Funing Street, if it weren't for you protecting me, I would have died a long time ago, and my bones turned into ashes, and there will be no trace left in this world, and my mother's grievances can't be washed away in this life, even my father's great enmity ......"
Chun Ying hurriedly covered his mouth: "What nonsense?!" It's messy, and I don't know the taboo! You have today, you have it because of your own efforts, even if we help you a little, if you don't fight yourself, where will you have today?! ”
Hu Fei said: "I'm telling the truth, if I hadn't met you back then, Brother Zong'er's situation before today would have been my life, I'm afraid it would have been worse." How kind is Heaven to me? I actually met you in the vast sea of people...... My good Chun'er, you must live a long life and live a life with me and harmony. In the next life, in the next life, I will continue to be a husband and wife with you! ”
Chunying's heart was soft, leaning on his chest, listening to his heartbeat, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said softly: "Okay, then we have made up our minds, in the next life, in the next life, we will continue to be together ......".
