Ji Ran asked me, "Have you ever participated in the class reunion?" ”
Who hasn't participated in the class reunion? Every Spring Festival, the elementary school classmates' association, junior high school classmates' association, and high school classmates' reunion are everywhere, and people are busy.
He then asked me, "Have you ever been to someone else's class reunion?" ”
There are also those who were taken by her aunt to attend her class reunion when she was a child, and knew about her past with Uncle Chen when she was in college at the banquet, and later went to the United States to interview Cen Lili and relied on it.
He continued to ask me, "Then have you ever attended the reunion where all the guests are elderly?" ”
I couldn't help but jump, what the hell is he selling!
On the weekend, Ji Ran took me on a train to a small town in Chongqing, and on the train he finally revealed the mystery: "I went to this class reunion on behalf of my grandfather." ”
Ji Ran's grandfather is his grandfather's eldest brother, his grandfather died a few months ago, he was born in 1930, he was already an eighty-year-old man when he left, it was a happy funeral, he was an old soldier, unmarried in his life, so he had no heirs, and Ji Ran was closest to him among the grandchildren of his relatives.
Ji Ran continued to explain: "My family's ancestral home is Henan, my grandfather and my grandfather were not born to the same father, my grandfather's father was a soldier, died on the battlefield in 1938, and the Hankou Conservation Association accepted war orphans at that time, and the grandfather went to Hankou with someone, and later moved to the southwest, and stayed in the nursery until he became an adult. Their nursery society holds a class reunion every five years, and this year it is time again, and my grandfather told me before his death that he would go for him no matter what. ”
I was in good spirits, everyone's family history is a modern history, and I will ask my parents about their own family history when I go back.
Sitting in a green car, swaying for more than ten hours and finally arrived in the small town, Ji Ran pulled me straight to the venue, the venue has been arranged, the room is full of goosebumps of the elderly, most of them are accompanied by young people, the wall is pasted with the school song of the nursery association, in the blink of an eye is more than half a century, the young children who sang the school song with immature voices are already old, I sigh.
Suddenly, the crowd was in a commotion: "Mother Jing is here!" Come with Mr. Jiang! ”
I looked curiously towards the door, a man and a woman were being pushed in wheelchairs, they were obviously older than the others, but I could tell at a glance that they were definitely a handsome couple when they were younger.
Ji Ran whispered to me: "This is Jing Mingchen, the female teacher of the nursery school back then, and the man's name is Jiang Gubei, who is Teacher Jing's...... Fiance? Well, that doesn't seem right either, and the two of them repented of their marriage. ”
Repentance? In old China more than half a century ago, this was a big deal!
