Chapter 64 Looking through the autumn water, the green silk boiled into white hair
a)
Zhu Yuliang tried to hide the excitement of learning a big secret, which was not difficult for her after her experience. She pretended to be indifferent, listening to the little boy's eloquent introduction about her origins, while staring at his beautiful face, which had inherited the good genes of his parents.
"Mom! Brother Lei doesn't have flowers on his face, why are you staring at others? Wen Jing's sharp eyes and mouth quickly said Zhu Yuliang's abnormality.
Liu Minglei was indeed a little uncomfortable by the unblinking eyes of "Zhu Mother", he wiped the back of his neck, thinking that he had said something wrong.
"Oh! Lei Lei reminds me of a person, and I think of many people......" Zhu Yuliang also realized his gaffe and hurriedly prevaricated.
"Who does Mom remember? Does he look similar to Brother Lei? Wen Jing asked reluctantly.
"It's not that people look alike, but that they experience like ......" After Zhu Yuliang was questioned by his daughter, he suddenly felt that his soft heart was poked by a needle, and tears almost overflowed in pain. She hurriedly asked her daughter where the public toilet was, so she slipped out of Liu's house under the pretext of going to the toilet.
Zhu Yuliang did not enter the public toilet, but came to a big tree behind the toilet. She took a deep breath in an attempt to calm her sad and tumultuous mind...... Names and scenes appeared in her mind like a marquee, compiled into a tragic movie called "Wife Separation". And she herself is both one of the characters of the film and one of the audience.
After Zhu Yuliang realized that his mood returned to normal, he returned to the Liu family.
"Sister, come and eat!" Liu Zhixun had already arranged a table of meals and was warmly beckoning everyone to sit down for dinner.
Zhu Zhihui and Zhu Zhicheng had no choice but to put down the unfinished military chess and come out to eat first.
"Does it take so long for mom to go to the bathroom?" Wen Jing is best at which pot not to open and which pot to mention.
"Eat your meal!" Zhu Yuliang said angrily.
Liu Zhixun kept serving vegetables to the guests, and said to Zhu Yuliang diligently: "The vegetables are made thick and leafy, so my sister can make do with them!" β
"Hmm! It's good, it's much stronger than Wen Yuanfang. Haha!" Zhu Yuliang praised from the bottom of his heart.
"We all like to eat the dishes made by Brother Zhixun, which has a different taste from my mother's." Zhu Zhihui and Zhu Zhicheng also praised one after another.
Liu Zhixun saw that his cooking skills were recognized by everyone, so he worked more energetically to serve dishes for everyone. He sent a large piece of dried plum vegetables and meat to Zhu Yuliang's rice bowl, and Zhu Yuliang quickly picked up the rice bowl to avoid it, and said: "I have eaten a lot of meat just now, I'll come by myself!" β
"Uncle Liu! My mom doesn't eat fatty meat. Hee-hee! Wen Jing buried her head behind her rice bowl after speaking, and she also knew that this would make Uncle Liu feel embarrassed.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhihui hurriedly stretched out the bowl to pick it up, and said that he didn't care if he ate meat, fat or thin.
"Oh! If you don't eat fatty meat, then pick a lean one. Liu Zhixun didn't feel embarrassed, and picked up another piece of lean meat and sent it over, this time Zhu Yuliang had to take the bowl.
"Mom doesn't eat preserved eggs and mung bean sprouts. Hee-hee! Wen Jing added.
"Huh? Fatty meat, preserved eggs, and mung bean sprouts are all three of them today, and there is a small half of the dish here, and my sister doesn't eat it? Why didn't Jingjing tell her uncle in advance? This time, Liu Zhixun was a little embarrassed.
"Don't listen to her! Baby! Eat well, you've talked a little too much today! Zhu Yuliang deliberately glanced at his daughter to show his dissatisfaction.
After Wen Jing and Liu Minglei looked at each other and smiled, they began to bury their heads in eating.
After lunch, the Zhu Zhihui brothers continued to play the unfinished game of military chess, while Zhu Yuliang and Liu Zhixun chatted for a while. Although Liu Zhixun did not say it explicitly, his words were indispensable to persuade his sister-in-law to persuade Zhu Yushan to retract his heart as soon as possible, and Zhu Yuliang naturally understood it.
Zhu Yuliang also learned from Liu Zhixun that before she returned to Xiaoyizhuang, Liu Minglei had just returned from Changzhou; The old lady of his family has recently passed away, and Sun Lei's mother has not been in good health; Sun Lei is exhausted because she takes care of the two elderly people all year round......
When Zhu Yuliang asked Liu Zhixun what he said about his sister-in-law, he blurted out: "A very amazing woman!" She never puts joy and sorrow on her face, but she is very assertive and a little stubborn. Hehe! β
As he was leaving, Liu Minglei handed Wen Jing a brand-new military backpack full of items, saying that it was a gift he gave to his sister.
Wen Jing immediately opened her schoolbag and saw that it was a brand-new iron pencil case, more than a dozen villain books of different old and new, and a few exercise books with Tian Zi grid. The pencil case contains pencils, knives, erasers, rulers, and ...... Everything but the kitchen sink.
Zhu Yuliang watched his daughter inspect these items one by one, and his heart was really moved. She caressed Liu Minglei's head and said, "Good boy! Jingjing often says, 'Brother Lei is as good to me as his own brother', and my mother believes it now! Mothers will like you as much as they like their own sons! β
The uncle and nephew sent the guests down the road and watched them away.
(b)
On the way home, Zhu Yuliang, who was full of worries, didn't notice what his daughter and younger brothers were chattering about.
"What a well-behaved child, what a perfect little family! Isn't Liu Minglei a copy of Wen Wuwei's sister and brother and Cai Fuguo's sister and brother? What's going on in this world? Why can't fathers and sons see each other, husbands and wives can't be reunited, and children have to recognize others as their fathers?
Adults love tossing, but children are innocent! But why are it always the children who are hurt? No wonder Jingjing and Lei Lei are so good, it turns out that the two poor children who left their parents are sympathetic to each other! And why are Dabao and Erbao so rebellious? It turns out that they are also expressing their demands in a rebellious manner!
I really admire Sun Lei's courage and determination - in order to give her son a good future, she would rather give her own flesh and blood to her uncle for adoption. If it were me, I would be reluctant to give Jingjing to any relatives and friends. If you know the current situation of Sun Lei's mother and son from afar, you don't know how you will be entangled and sad in your heart! Shall I tell him this secret immediately when I get back?
Also, I must write to persuade Yushan! Liu Zhixun is a good man with a sense of responsibility, she doesn't rely on her youth and beauty to act blindly. When the time comes, run away from such a good man, don't come to us crying! β
β¦β¦
In view of the fact that Zhu Yuliang led Wen Jing back to Jiyang alone, and had to carry a few large luggage bags, it was definitely not possible for no one to take care of them on the road, Zhu Xinghua and his wife decided to set up a team to escort the eldest girl, mother and daughter back to Jiyang safely.
On the other hand, Zhu Xinghua and his wife also think that in the ten years since the eldest girl and the eldest son-in-law got married, they have not been to Jiyang once as the woman's parents, and they have not met their own mother, which is a bit unreasonable; Besides, now that I heard that my mother-in-law is sick in bed, I naturally want to visit once.
So, a team with Xu Guiying as the captain and Zhu Zhihui and Zhu Zhicheng as team members was established, which made Zhu Zhicheng and Wen Jing very excited. Because there were still more than ten days to leave school, Zhu Zhicheng went to Jiyang and came back just in time for the start of school.
On the day she left Xiaoyizhuang, Wen Jing put her arms around her grandfather's neck with tears in her eyes and whispered, "I will miss my grandfather!" She hugged her aunt's neck again and whispered, "I want my aunt to be an announcer, not a conductor!" β
"Oh! My little girl, little fox, you are gone, how can you call the old fox to live? Zhu Xinghua's tears are flying, and Zhu Yuzhen's tears are also flying...... Wen Jing cried even more.
After the group of five people arrived in Jiyang, Wen Yuanfang was surprised incoherently and hurriedly...... The compound of the Commercial Bureau suddenly became violently, as if a strange clear stream suddenly hit, breaking the dullness and tranquility of a small pond.
Wen Yuanfang wanted to book a room for his mother-in-law and his wife and brothers in the guest house of the Commercial Bureau, but Xu Guiying insisted on refusing, saying that it was common for Zhihui and Zhicheng to sleep on the floor, and besides, it was summer, and it was cooler to sleep on the floor.
Wen Jing didn't have time to show the reunion photo to her father, but her father was busy discussing with her mother how to receive distinguished guests from afar, and he didn't have time to deal with her for the time being.
Wen Yuanfang also told his wife: "Cai Fuguo and his wife have taken Dabao and Erbao back to Tongxin Pavilion." Lao Cai said that when you return to Jiyang, let the three of us go over for a reunion dinner. Also, Liu Yuelan also said that before you take Jingjing to the head of the brand, you must go to her house for a meal. β
Zhu Yuliang smiled: "Haha! Looks like I don't need to cook much these days. β
The result of the couple's discussion was to take the guests to Tangfeng Village first, because Wen Yuanfang's eldest brother Wen Yuanshao had recently returned home, because he was diagnosed with lung cancer and had to come back from the labor camp.
So, the day after Zhu Yuliang and the others returned to Jiyang, the team with Wen Yuanfang as the captain went all the way to Tangfeng Village.
(c)
Tangfeng, a small mountain village with a history of nearly 1,000 years nestled at the foot of Yue Mountain, is like an old woman who has been widowed all her life, bored but still stubbornly alive. The only hope and the only interest in her life is to see the wanderer return to worship her ancestors, to show that her descendants have not forgotten their roots and have not neglected her existence.
Over the years, the two brothers Wen Bozong and Wen Bocheng have always been the object of public opinion and the focus of attention of 100 households in Tangfeng Village. Because the two families have the greatest influence and the most stories in Tangfeng Village, and both have wanderers seeking jobs abroad, their every move naturally attracts the attention of the villagers.
Recently, Wen Bozong's eldest son, Wen Yuanshao, "retired" from the labor camp in northern Jiangsu, and brought back a gift called "lung cancer". Of course, this gift must not be known to the old mother Lou Xiangfu who is sick in bed.
Wen Yuanshao, who was in the year of the sixtieth year, had gray hair, a sallow face, a slightly hunched back, and coughed more than his old mother...... Although his face is decayed, it can be seen that he still has the integrity of a scholar - the words "neither humble nor arrogant, pampered and not shocked" are clearly written on his face.
On that day a month ago, Zhou Jiahong was walking home after washing a basket of clothes in the pond at the entrance of the village, when he subconsciously turned his head. She saw a man who was both familiar and strange walking under the old maple treeβskinny, wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt, a pair of crumpled khakis, a pair of gray sandals, and a small wooden box that didn't look very heavy.
Zhou Jiahong squinted at a pair of presbyopia eyes full of fine lines, and looked at the man more than ten meters away in a daze; The man also stopped and looked at her in a daze, as if he had a thousand words to say to her.
"Yuan Shao! You're back? Zhou Jiahong put down the vegetable basket and asked in a trembling voice.
"Jiahong! Sure enough, it's you. The man said in a hoarse voice.
β¦β¦
Pinching his fingers, the last time Wen Yuanshao returned to Tangfeng Village should have been twenty-six years ago. It was also when he went home that time, except for giving his son Wenwuwei to his wife as a souvenir, he left without leaving anything. Two years later, he was pulled down by the People's Liberation Army from his position as chief of the Jiashan County Police Department; Immediately afterwards, he was labeled a "historical counter-revolutionary" and sent to a labor camp in northern Jiangsu.
The last time Zhou Jiahong saw her husband should have been twelve or thirteen years ago. That time, she accompanied her mother-in-law to visit her husband who was serving a prison sentence at the labor camp in northern Jiangsu; Then, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rushed from northern Jiangsu to the Xiaoyizhuang army in southern Jiangsu to visit the little uncle who was serving in the military.
At that time, if it weren't for the letter from the brother-in-law revealing that he planned to marry a girl named "Sun Lei" from a bad background, the old lady with little feet would definitely not have decided to go on a thousand-mile trip.
Well, now my husband has finally returned to his roots with a sickness, and he will never be a lonely ghost again. Zhou Jiahong felt extremely relieved and down-to-earth, because she could finally have a complete home like other women in the same village.
After Wen Yuanshao went home, he insisted on sleeping next to his mother's sickbed at night. He said that he was an unfilial son, and let his mother suffer for the rest of his life, and if he was not given the opportunity to fulfill his filial piety, he would die without turning a blind eye. He didn't express much apology and remorse for his wife and children, but just silently did what he could, trying not to cause trouble to his family.
For Wen Wuwei, although his memory of his father is blank, his father's return is a matter of time. It was a blessing in the midst of misfortune that my father was able to return to his family to reunite with his family and spend the last part of his life. At the beginning, if he went to Taiwan because of a thought, wouldn't he have died in a foreign country with a lingering hatred?
Therefore, since Wen Yuanshao went home for more than a month, this seemingly sullen home, because everyone is doing their duty according to human ethics, life is also bitter and happy.
The arrival of Wen Yuanfang, his wife and children and his mother-in-law's family undoubtedly brought noise and excitement to this quiet small mountain village. When brothers meet, it is like a lifetime, and they have endless brotherhood and dreams; At the same time, Mrs. Lou Xiangfu was extremely excited and spirited because of the return of her granddaughter and the first time she saw her young mother-in-law......
So many distinguished guests suddenly came to the door, but Zhou Jiahong and Wen Wuwei were busy. Of course, Zhu Yuliang will not sit idly by, and the chef of dinner must be her.
Wen Jing felt that her grandmother's small foot cloth shoes were very novel, so she put them on and ran around. She was even more curious about the sudden appearance of the uncle, so she asked, "Uncle! Why haven't I seen you before? Where have you been? β
"Me, I just came back from grazing sheep at Subei Farm." Wen Yuanshao teased his cute little niece with a pun.
"Herding sheep?" Wen Jing muttered suspiciously.
"Good girl! You'll know it when you're older, so don't ask too much now! Wen Yuanfang said while wiping the sweat on his baby daughter's forehead.
So, Wen Jing followed Wen Wuwei, Zhu Zhihui, and Zhu Zhicheng to the patio to catch chickens and ducks. For a time, the patio was full of chickens and dogs......
