64. The secret of He Daqing
On Sunday morning, the courtyard of Huang Sanzang's house was lively, and it was about to become a primary school playground.
Huang Sanzang's two sons and two daughters, Qin Tiejun's two sons and one daughter, Qin Yuru's one son and two daughters, the older ones all went out to play with his eldest daughter, and the younger ones played by themselves in the yard.
His eldest son was teasing a little turtle with two boys, which Qin Sanbao had caught for his grandson.
The girls are dancing rubber bands, and the adults are busy washing and drying quilts.
Huang Sanzang turned his back to the sun, holding a copy of "Zeng Hu Zhibing* Record" in his research, and the more he studied, the more he felt its subtlety.
"Brother! Elder brother! ”
"Rain! What are you doing here? Come on, come on! Sit in the house! ”
"No! I want to ask you for something! ”
"What to ask for! You said! ”
"I ...... I want you to accompany me to see my father! ”
"Okay!"
"Huh?! You promised! How is it not surprising at all? ”
"What's so strange about that!"
"Do you know something?"
"Hmm!" Huang Sanzang nodded, "Does your man know?" ”
"I didn't dare tell him! I'm afraid he'll think too much! ”
"You should actually tell him that everything should be said to others, and it is not your fault that we have done nothing wrong!
I've met your man a few times, it's not a small-bellied person, he really likes you, and he doesn't care about these things.
It's not good for you to hide it from him, he will know about it sooner or later! ”
"Hmmm! I'll tell him when the time comes, and this time the two of us will take a look! ”
"It's good! Then I'll explain it to your sister-in-law! ”
"Hmmm! I'll wait for you at the door! ”
Huang Sanzang went back to the house to change his clothes and came out with his handbag, "Xiaoru! I'll go to Baocheng with the rain! ”
"You mean...... Go meet her real father! ”
"Hmm!"
"And how long are you going?"
"We'll leave today, nothing will come back tomorrow, don't worry!"
"Hmm!"
Huang Sanzang and He Yushui took a train for more than 3 hours and came to Baocheng.
followed He Yushui to a small courtyard with a single door and a single family, she came with Silly Zhu when she was a child, and she still remembers it.
Huang Sanzang went to knock on the door, He Yushui hid aside, she was kicked out by He Daqing's concubine White Widow when she was a child, and she was afraid of being recognized.
"Who are you looking for?" An old lady opened the door and saw that Huang Sanzang was extraordinary, rich and powerful, and asked in a low voice.
"Is Master He Daqing here?"
"Yes! In! You're looking for him to make a banquet! House please! House please! ”
He Daqing has retired, and there is only this value left, and people often come to invite him to make a banquet.
Huang Sanzang deliberately frowned, revealing a disdainful look, "No! You call it out! I'll talk to him in person! ”
"Okay! Good! Wait! Lao He! Lao He! You've got a guest looking for you! ”
After a while, Huang Sanzang saw an old man with a paralyzed face and gray hair walking out.
"Noble, are you looking for me?"
"Are you Master He Daqing?"
"It's down there!"
"That's right! I have something important to discuss with you, is it convenient? ”
"You say!"
"That's it! I'm not familiar with this place, let's find a better restaurant to eat and chat! ”
"It's good! Walking! He Daqing walked forward without saying a word.
Huang Sanzang immediately followed, and at the same time quietly gestured to He Yushui.
followed He Daqing to a public hotel that looked relatively high-end,
Huang Sanzang immediately stepped forward, "Comrade waiter!" Open a private room for us! ”
"Okay! Please follow me! ”
"Master He! You may be seated! Excuse me! It's not that I'm looking for you! It's her who wants to find you! ”
He Yushui also walked in, and Huang Sanzang quietly walked out when he saw this, closed the door, and guarded the door.
After a while, there was a small cry of two people in the room, and the waiter heard that he wanted to open the door to see what was going on, but was stopped by Huang Sanzang.
He gave the waiter a general explanation, the father and daughter had not seen each other for a long time, and the waiter expressed understanding.
Then he ordered a few more good dishes and told them to wait a little longer before serving.
After a while, He Yushui opened the door, and Huang Sanzang walked in and closed the door with his hand.
"Hmmm! Not bad! What a vision for rain! What a good man to find! ”
"Ahem, ahem!" When Huang Sanzang heard this, he couldn't hold back for a while.
"Dad! What do you say? This is my brother! ”
When He Yushui heard this, his face turned red all of a sudden.
"Oh! I'm sorry! You're a good offspring! ”
"Uncle He! I just ordered a few dishes, or let's talk while eating! ”
"It's good!"
When He Daqing had almost eaten, Huang Sanzang also put down his chopsticks,
"Uncle He! I have a lot of questions for you? Is it convenient to answer? ”
"After so many years, and I'm so old, there's nothing I can't say!"
"Good! Uncle He, your hometown is from Baocheng! Or maybe you grew up in Baocheng since you were a child! ”
"Good eyesight! That's right!
My family has been working as a cook in Baocheng since my grandfather's generation, and my father knew a good friend when he was young, and later he made a fortune in Yandu.
About the 22nd year of the Republic of China, when I was 13 or 14 years old, he wrote to invite my father to go to Yandu to develop.
My father was also very moved when he heard this, and our family of three came to Yandu.
Because my father's craftsmanship was very good, he was very popular with the dignitaries, and he made some money, and soon we bought the rain room. ”
"Then how did you end up living in the main house of the courtyard?"
"There are unforeseen circumstances! In the 26th year of the Republic of China, the Dongwei people came, and my father's friends turned into people and did things for them.
He sent my father to cook for the Dongwei people, and my father was a little backbone, and he didn't know what was going on, so he was killed by them. Woooooo ”
"I'm sorry! Mention Uncle He, your sad matter! ”
He Daqing shook his head and continued, "My mother got this bad news and soon had a serious illness and went too!"
I was 18 years old at the time, and my father had learned a little bit about cooking, and then his friends came to me again and persuaded me to do things for them.
I was timid and didn't dare to disobey them, so I kept cooking for them.
The tenants in the courtyard all looked down on me, except for Yi Zhonghai, who privately regarded me as a friend. ”
"What's the matter with that stupid pillar? He shouldn't be your own son! ”
"Hmmm! You can see that! One day at 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning, Aunt Tan in the compound knocked on the door with a little boy in her arms and asked me to raise it! ”
"You didn't say yes?"
"Of course! I'm an eighteen or nineteen-year-old guy who wants to marry me because he cooks for the Dongwei people.
I'll take another child, that's not nonsense! ”
"Then Aunt Tan tempted you with the main house where she lived, and she moved to the backyard by herself?"
"That's right! When I saw such a big main room, I immediately agreed! ”
"Who is this Aunt Tan?"
"I don't know, I heard that it was the concubine Fuzheng, her husband died, inherited the big courtyard, and did not have children, and has always kept festivals for her husband.
Gradually, she couldn't make ends meet, so she rented out the house and lived on the rent! ”
Huang Sanzang nodded, thoughtful.
"Then how did Aunt Tan survive in that troubled world?"
"Her husband's family is a big family in itself, her husband is also a KMT veteran, and she herself is also from a big family.
Her wrists are also very powerful, and the underground workers also use this to use this courtyard as a secret stronghold.
I also heard Yi Zhonghai say after the republic, he used to be a secret traffic officer. ”
"I see!" Huang Sanzang suddenly realized.
