"Things may have become a little troublesome, and it's a little complicated, I can't tell you clearly in a few words, it just so happens that you've been living at home recently, don't go to school." I said to Han Xue.

Han Xue was obviously stunned for a moment, but she then smiled bitterly at me, "Okay, you pay attention to safety." ”

Maybe in Han Xue's opinion, the fool went to her for that child, which is why we immediately believed it when the fat man said this, because apart from this, we can't think of why a woman who has been dead for twenty years would come to pester a kind female teacher who has been in the village for more than two years. So she then asked, "Shouldn't she have given the child back to her and left?" ”

"That's right, but that kid was wrong, we were all lied to, but it's too complicated for me to tell you." I looked at Han Xue and said.

Han Xue glanced at me and said, "Didn't you say that you hate your eldest brother the most?" But don't you realize that you have become such a person now? ”

I was really embarrassed to be told by her, I did complain to Han Xue more than once about this problem, that is, Han Xue's words, which made me indifferent to the only remaining resentment of my eldest brother.

Why am I reluctant to say it to Han Xue? It's because I'm worried about her, I want to take care of her, and I can carry everything.

Why is the eldest brother reluctant to say too much to me, in fact, this is the truth.

I looked at Han Xue, I didn't know what to say for a while, Han Xue smiled at me, hugged my arm and said, "I don't blame you, I understand your thoughts better." Since you will do the same, you should understand your big brother more. ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, I understand." ”

After eating, I finalized it with the fat man, and decided to go to see Tang Renjie tomorrow, both of us belong to the kind of people who are particularly curious about Tai Chi, I don't know the ins and outs of the matter can be said to be difficult to sleep, the night was very calm, early the next morning I went to the town with the fat man in the battery car, my battery car was bought after graduation and has been riding for more than two years, I was okay to ride alone, after carrying the fat man, I kept knocking on the chassis, it was really difficult to go all the way, after arriving in the town, I deposited the battery car, Got on the minibus to the city.

When I arrived in Luoyang, I called Tang Renjie when I got out of the station, and he said to us: "Brother Yezi, you two are waiting there, I will send someone to pick you up, I have already arranged it in Xinghualou, and we will talk in detail over there." ”

About half an hour later, a Mercedes-Benz car stopped in front of us, the person who got off the car is very familiar to me, think carefully that this is with Tang Renjie to find the secretary of the eldest brother, the last time he spoke not very good, but this time he behaved respectfully, after getting into the car, the road is smooth, these four wheels and two wheels are not comparable, today seems to be a good day, along the way to see a lot of wedding cars, to Xinghualou, today Xinghualou seems to have someone married, parked a lot of cars, are luxury cars, The secretary with glasses smiled apologetically when he turned around and said, "I'm sorry two, the boss has an important guest today, he said, he will be here within half an hour, the private room upstairs has been arranged, let's go up first, right?" ”

I nodded, although the car is comfortable to sit in, but can not sit often, we got out of the car, walked to the door of the hotel, I was stunned when I saw the photo hanging at the door of the hotel, I don't believe that there will be such a coincidence in this world, but just like many brain-dead novels written, the bride of the wedding held in Xinghualou today, the bride is my college girlfriend Cheng Xiaoyu, the first love who went to my house and sent me a good person card.

"What's wrong?" The fat man looked at me stunned and asked me.

"It's fine." I laughed, years had passed, and I was no longer the young boy I had been depressed for months after she told me I had broken up.

What is so good is that at this time, the wedding car stopped at the door of the hotel, I turned my head to look at the couple who walked down arm in arm from the wedding car, the photos of the wedding dress because of the heavy makeup I can't be sure, I saw the real person I really confirmed that it was her, maybe I looked at the bride's eyes to make the fat man see something, the fat man asked: "What's the matter, the bride knows?" ”

I smiled wryly and said, "Ex-girlfriend." ”

"Tsk." The fat man laughed.

"Let's go." I laughed, I had basically forgotten about it, and I wouldn't even have thought about it if it hadn't happened to happen.

We waited in the private room for more than ten minutes, Tang Renjie pushed the door open, and as soon as he came in, he said to us with a smile on his face: "I'm really sorry, let the two of you wait for a long time, come, punish yourself with three glasses first." ”

After the three of us clinked glasses, the fat man picked up the chopsticks and started eating, his body of five flowers was completely eaten, he said: "Tang Renjie, what is there to talk to the thief brother, fat man, I have been in the village for the past few days, and the birds have faded out of my mouth, so I ate first!" ”

Tang Renjie smiled and said, "The fat man is really temperamental." ”

I didn't move my chopsticks, to be honest, if it weren't for the fat man here, facing Tang Renjie alone, I would really feel a little pressured as a village official, I looked at Tang Renjie, and I had a lot of questions in my heart but didn't know how to open my mouth.

"Is the food unappetizing? I ask them to change tables? Tang Renjie asked.

I shook my head and said, "Boss Tang, the recent events have made it difficult for me to sleep, so let's get down to business first, otherwise I won't have an appetite." ”

Tang Renjie put away his smile and nodded, he took out a box from his pocket, the box was very exquisite, like a box containing precious jewelry, he put it on the table and turned around and said, "You take a look at this first." ”

I'm a little confused about what's in the box, could it be that this Tang Renjie will give me jewelry as soon as we meet? Confused, I opened the box and found that it contained a photograph.

This is a yellowed old photo, twenty or thirty years ago photo technology is such a picture quality, the photo is two young people, these two young people have a good relationship, hooked shoulders, very bright smiles, showing white teeth.

I can see at a glance who one of them is, this is my father, there is a black and white photo of him at home, the photo is enlarged and developed from his ID card, and the other one I look very familiar with, carefully compared, it turned out to be Tang Renjie, but the Tang Renjie in the photo is even more green.

I looked at Tang Renjie with shocked eyes, he nodded to me, and motioned me to look at the back of the photo, I flipped it over, and found that there was a line of pen words written on the back of the photo, and the font was very good-looking: Ye Tianhua gave Tang Renjie, and friendship lasts forever.

The payment was made on 13 May 1994.

I looked at the photo carefully, I don't know much about this, but I can't see whether this photo is real or computer-synthesized, now that technology is so developed, it is not difficult to synthesize a photo like this and make it old, but there must be clues to see, but this photo is perfect, in layman's terms, there is no trace of PS.

"The photos are real." Tang Renjie said.

I was about to open his mouth to ask him how he knew my father, but Tang Renjie waved his hand to stop me and said, "You pay attention to the time." The time of the inscription of your father. ”

I just cared about the content on this photo, and I really didn't pay attention to the problem of time, and Tang Renjie counted it like this, I looked at this date again, and immediately understood what he meant.

My father died on June 13, 1994.

I can't be mistaken about this.

In other words, this photo was given to Tang Renjie on that day exactly a month before his father's death.

"The photo was taken in 1993, and I have another one here, and in the same place, we took two photos, and this one is mine." After speaking, Tang Renjie handed over another photo.

The same background in this photo, the same clothes, but this time both of them wore sunglasses, and the sunglasses were also the style of that era, and it was the fashion of that era, and they both put cool pos on the photo.

"Your father Ye Tianhua and I are comrades-in-arms and good friends. It was the day the photo was written, he came to me and gave me this picture, and the connection was not as easy as it is now, and I went to the south after that, and after I came back, I heard that your father died, and he died a miserable death. Tang Renjie said.
