Xie Laogen originally planned to lie down, but when he saw Yao Wenjing asking this question, his drowsiness was gone, he sat up again, wrapped himself in a leaf cigarette, took a few puffs, and then began to speak.

"Speaking of which, these two young ladies are miserable, and they haven't been able to enjoy the happiness of this child with Guoqiang."

Xie Laogen also made an opening statement with this sentence, and in Yao Wenjing's memory, everyone in the village who mentioned Uncle was like this.

He told her that he grew up watching Yao Guoqiang.

Speaking of uncle, Xie Laogen's face was full of smiles, that kind and doting smile can quickly bring people into that kind mood.

Xie Laogen told me that there are many things that Yao Wenjing never knew in his previous life.

At that time, my grandmother's family was a big family in a neighboring town, and my grandfather's family was not bad, although the Yao family was not as rich as the Li family, but they also had no worries about food and clothing, and the grandparents were the right children.

It's just that after liberation, one of the two families was beaten into a landlord and the other became a rich peasant, and the family was in the middle.

Xie Laogen is the long-term worker of the Li family, after the Li family was beaten into a landlord, he divided the land as a poor farmer, returned to Fenghuang Village, and became neighbors with Mrs. Li.

Speaking of this, Xie Laogen took a hard puff of his cigarette, and the whole person seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago, his eyes looked out, and he happened to fall on Mrs. Li's window.

"It's a pity, the good times didn't last long, at that time your grandfather was still teaching in a rural primary school, Guoqiang was his most proud student, he jumped two grades in elementary school, until he went to high school, and he could get the first place again and again, everyone said, this child is amazing, he will be able to take the top exam in the future, and he will be able to honor his ancestors."

In the blink of an eye, at the end of the 50s, my grandfather had an accident because of my identity as a rich peasant, and my grandmother got married early, so she didn't have much to do with her mother's family, but she was fine.

Grandpa became the object of struggle among the villagers, and the whole family suffered and suffered, especially Ma Lanhua, who was arguing every day to draw a line with the old couple.

But it's not the end of the story.

Xie Laogen said with anger and wrapped himself in a cigarette, but as soon as he took a puff, he coughed violently because of excitement, and when he raised his head again, his eyes began to redden.

"Jing girl, you don't know, how nonsense this is, just because of your grandfather, in the end, your uncle was even disqualified from registering for the college entrance examination, at that time, your grandmother begged people everywhere, so she sent people to kneel, and there was no way at all."

Yao Wenjing's mood also became heavy, no wonder such an excellent uncle failed to go to college, but she knew that the uncle ended up in the army, it stands to reason that their family is such a family, since they don't even have the qualifications to take the university exam, how can they enlist in the army?

Xie Laogen seemed to understand Yao Wenjing's doubts and continued to speak.

"During that time, your grandfather was also tortured, and one day after tomorrow, all of a sudden, he took your grandmother to the commune, and he had to divorce, saying that he had disowned the family, and the next night after the divorce, he was by the river in the village, and he left like that."

The cloudy tears in the corners of Xie Laogen's eyes finally fell, and he turned his head to look at the dark corners of the room, and did not speak for a long time.

There was a sentence he didn't say to Yao Wenjing, but he always remembered that his grandfather had come to Xie Laogen before he left and entrusted Mrs. Li to him.

"I know that you have never married a daughter-in-law because you have a second lady in your heart, if something happens to me, you must take care of her."

At that time, Xie Laogen felt that something was wrong, but by the time he reacted, the others were gone, and for this reason, Xie Laogen had borne this guilt for a lifetime, and he couldn't let go until now.

"Your grandfather is leaving, your mother is breaking up, and the next year, Guoqiang also has the qualifications to take the university exam, but this kid is stubborn, he doesn't want to take the exam anymore, and he stubbornly enlists in the army, and gold will shine wherever it is, a few years later, Guoqiang was promoted to the army and transferred to the provincial capital."

Yao Wenjing's brows stretched involuntarily, but they were quickly tightened together.

Because she knew that her uncle had already had an accident, her heart seemed to be stung by something for no reason, and Xie Laogen on the side was silent again, and after a long time, Yao Wenjing asked weakly.

"My uncle, how did he go?"
