Chapter 12: The Past

"Mom, when was this photo taken?" Sun Yan held a photo in his hand and handed it to Chen Shuyan, the photo was a group photo of Sun Qijun's three brothers, the three of them stood in front of a big truck, Sun Qijun smiled cleanly, wearing a white V-neck T-shirt, holding Sun Qixiang's shoulder with one hand and touching Sun Qiyuan's head with the other. Sun Qixiang shaved his head, his upper body was bare, his hands were in his trouser pockets, and his eyes were squinting at the camera, a bit of a ruffian. Sun Qiyuan was holding two corn cobs in his arms, grinning, and his two front teeth were knocked out.

Chen Shuyan was washing vegetables, glanced at the photo with a squint eye, and said: "This is taken when your uncle first entered the team and drove, your father was still in high school at that time, and your uncle Qiyuan was just in the fourth grade of primary school." ”

"Do you remember that clearly?"

"Of course, your dad just chased me that year!" Chen Shuyan said with relish, "That summer, he shaved his head, spent all day with street thugs, and stalked me!" Annoyed by him! ”

"Yes, Mom!" As soon as Sun Yan heard that her mother was going to talk about her and her father's love past, she decided to quickly divert the topic.

"However, to be honest, at that time, your father took me to your grandmother's house to play, and as soon as I saw your Uncle Qijun, I fell in love with him at first sight." Chen Shuyan smiled embarrassedly.

Sun Yan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain at this moment, so he immediately became interested.

"Tell me about it."

"Actually, there's nothing to say, it's just that I saw that you Qijun Da Borou was weak and weak, but he was driving a big truck in the convoy, and I was attracted by his temperament at that time."

"You confessed?"

"That's right, I had the courage to confess to your uncle in front of your father the next day." Chen Shuyan smiled awkwardly, "At that time, my father's lungs were blown up, and now I want to laugh when I think about your father's expression." ”

"Mom, you really have the demeanor of a female general." Sun Yan's face was black.

"But your uncle immediately rejected me, on the grounds that I was too young, 6 years behind him. At that time, free love was just beginning to be fashionable, but the age gap was still more concerned about people, and the difference between me and your uncle was obviously 6 years old, so I had to give up and honestly fall in love with your dad. ”

"Hey, my dad is really enough for that or something, and I still want you like this! I'm not afraid that the family will be embarrassed to stay together in the future! ”

"Humph! Son, don't underestimate your father's true love for me! Chen Shuyan looked at Sun Yan's helpless expression and continued, "Actually, it's nothing, but in the end, after your uncle married your Aunt Mei Fang, it really embarrassed me." ”

"How?"

"Your Aunt Mei Fang is 6 years younger than your uncle, but your uncle still married her, and the two of them love her so much! I was so angry that my face turned blue, but I completely broke off my thoughts about your uncle at that time, and I had to look at each other to see each other, otherwise it would be all for nothing. And your aunt is also prettier than me. Chen Shuyan chatted like a homely man, while putting down the cutting board and putting the washed vegetables on it.

Sun Yan looked at Chen Shuyan's face and saw that her expression was flat, and he didn't take the conversation just now to heart.

"Mom" Sun Yan hesitated as soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Shuyan turned his head and looked at him inexplicably, he still made up his mind and said, "What kind of person is my aunt?" ”

Seeing that Chen Shuyan didn't speak, Sun Yan hurriedly said, "I'm just curious to ask, I want to know what kind of woman can defeat a female general like you." ”

"She's the type of lady everybody, and your uncle likes that." Chen Shuyan said.

"My aunt, her family has a lot of status?"

"Your aunt's father was an academician of the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences at that time, what do you say?"

"Can the daughter of an academician of the Academy of Sciences take a fancy to my uncle's kind of driving a big truck?"

"What's wrong with driving a big truck? Don't look at the past with your current eyes, driving a big truck was a good job that everyone envied in those days! When your uncle went to Lop Nur, it was recommended by your aunt and his father, and the country was in need of 20 drivers at that time, so your uncle took this opportunity to go. ”

Sun Yan saw that his mother was chattering as if she didn't have the door, as if she didn't care at all, so she was relieved, and asked again: "My uncle and my aunt have no children?" ”

"Yes, the year your aunt had an accident, the child was only two years old. Now I live with his grandfather all the time, and I haven't seen him in years. ”

"Why don't you ever go to see people?"

"Hmph, it's not that we don't want to." Chen Shuyan skillfully cut the cucumbers into slices, "Your aunt and their family have long severed the relationship with our side, what do you say, 'I want to see the child and let Sun Qijun come to collect it in person, otherwise there will be no door', how can this person who has evaporated from the world go to receive it, your grandmother also had a serious illness for this, but I don't want to do it after a long time." ”

"That, wasn't it quite miserable when my aunt died, did you see the corpse?" Sun Yan pretended to ask lightly.

Chen Shuyan was stunned for a moment, looked up at Sun Yan for a while, and frowned: "Why are you asking this?" ”

"I'm not curious, just ask, and besides, it's all in the past, and it's okay to talk about it."

"Son, this can't be regarded as a thing of the past in our family, you just talk about it in front of me, you can't say a word in front of your father, his stubborn temper is enough for our mother!"

"Hey, I know. Who would dare to ask him! Sun Yan propped one hand on the table and said with a smile, "You see that your son is so enthusiastic, you can tell me about it." ”

"I didn't see the body, and when I came back, I went into the coffin and buried it directly."

"I didn't see the corpse, how do I know it's my aunt, what if I get the wrong person?"

"What are you talking about! Can this kind of thing be wrong? Your father and your third uncle went to Xinjiang to claim the corpse in person, how can they still be mistaken! ”

"Third uncle? The third uncle went? ”

"Oh, yes, yes! Hurry up and play your go, come back and talk about it, don't mistake me for cooking! Chen Shuyan impatiently pushed Sun Yan away, and was busy washing and cutting vegetables again.

In the evening, when Sun Qixiang returned home, he saw the DNA test results on the table.

"Who sent it?" Sun Qixiang asked.

"That plum wood from your unit." Sun Yan heard the inquiry and immediately poked his head out of the bedroom.

Sun Qixiang was silent, and quickly took it apart to see. After a quick glance, Sun Yan found that Sun Qixiang's expression had not changed much, but he sat on the sofa, staring at the appraisal sheet and was stunned, this sitting was half an hour, until Chen Shuyan shouted to eat, he got up from the sofa.

Sure enough, as Li Zimu said, Sun Qixiang was entangled in the DNA identification results.

During the meal, Sun Yan opened his mouth and said: "Dad, Li Zimu asked me to tell you, don't worry about the pen on the corpse, it may really be an uncle's thing, but it doesn't mean anything, after all, the DNA results show that the corpse is not him." ”

"Eat, eat!" Sun Qixiang waved his hand impatiently, obviously not wanting to hear anything about the matter.

Sun Yan rolled his eyes, he had already concluded that he didn't have any topics of communication with this old man, let alone ask anything about Sun Qijun from his mouth. It seems that I will visit the third uncle in person tomorrow.
