The sixth master looked at him fixedly for a moment, and snorted slightly.

"Xiang Xian. Some things are not what you think. ”

He Xiangxian let his resentment burn his whole body tremble: "My mother is also everyone's best lady, the eldest lady who came back from abroad." You were just a small leader of a gang, married my mother, inherited a large family property and started a business, and your means are not clever. But my mother, she-" Xiang Xian choked up for a while, "She waited hard for you to come back at home, and finally died of depression at a young age, He Guhong, He Liuye." You are worthy of my mother, worthy of my grandfather's whole family! ”

The sixth master sighed and looked at Xiang Xian's unpredictable eyes. After a while, he pointed to a beautiful tin box on the coffee table.

"This is your mother's relic. You can see it for yourself. ”

He Xiangxian was stunned, staring at the iron box with surprise and doubt.

Mother's relics are still unknown to me?

The sixth master looked at his excited son and couldn't help but sigh.

Xiang Xian is already old and is the one who is going to get married. There are many things he should know.

He Xiangxian couldn't wait to open the tin box.

Yellowed photographs, and bundles of well-preserved letters.

He Xiangxian picked up the photo and looked stunned.

Almost all of the photos are of a mother and another strange man.

They are intimately attached to each other on the banks of the Laiyin River, and enjoy the flowers hand in hand under the old teaching building of the university. The eyes of the two were full of love that was so strong that it could not be dissolved.

He Xiangxian put down the photo.

Did your mother have a boyfriend when she was studying in France?

So what? Who hasn't had a few relationships when they're young? Besides, this man has never appeared in his own life, and his mother must have broken off relations with him after marrying his father. Thinking like this, he turned his head to look at his father with a solemn look in his eyes.

Looking at the handsome figure of the man in the photo, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Hurriedly opened the envelope.

Ya Yin Wu Love:

The Japanese army invaded and occupied the territory of China, and its crimes were too numerous to mention. The Nanjing Massacre is still in sight, and the embankment at the mouth of the garden is full of mourning. The failure of the country to be the national government is the incompetence of the national government; The incompetence of the government is a sorrow for the country. As a citizen of China, how can I sit idly by? Today, I joined the army to save the country, although I can't accompany you, but I am willing to protect you and the people in this life.

……

Signature: Xiang Nansheng.

The letter fell to the ground. He Xiangxian seems to understand why his mother always weeps in the mirror, why she is always sad, depressed, and depressed.

It turned out that it was not because of the husband who did not come home for many years, and it was not because of the hopelessness of the marriage of the indifferent relationship between husband and wife. It's because in her heart, there is another person.

So, what about Xiang Nansheng?

Why didn't he come back to his mother?

He Xiangxian rummaged through the box in a panic, and an old newspaper jumped into view. The black title is shocking: List of fallen generals in the Battle of Yuliao.

He Xiangxian saw Xiang Nansheng's name at a glance in the list.

He opened his mouth wide, tears welling up on the newspaper, and he hurriedly wiped them, but the tears became more and more.

He Guhong gently patted him on the shoulder.

"Your mother and Xiang Nansheng were originally childhood sweethearts, and they were rare and good marriages. But the war was relentless...... After Xiang Nansheng's sacrifice, your grandfather's family was also in turmoil in the troubled times. At that time, I was indeed only a small leader in the Guangzhou Chamber of Commerce. Thanks to your grandfather Xu Lin, he married your mother to me. Actually, my marriage to your mother was really just a transaction. I keep the Xu family's property, and your mother doesn't care about my private affairs. From beginning to end, she only had Xiang Nansheng in her heart. ”

He Xiangxian covered his eyes and was silent, only his trembling hands showed the agitation of his mood at this time.

He Guhong tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Actually, I admire your mother very much." She is determined, even if her lover has passed away for many years and has no choice but to get married, she still loses her will. Your mother and I are actually more like comrades-in-arms. As for you, although it is not the crystallization of love, it carries the hope of the whole family. Xiang Xian, I'm glad you met Wanqin. In life, there will always be a person who makes himself willing to wash away the lead and turn back the prodigal son. Now that you've found it, don't give up easily. ”

He Xiangxian wiped away his tears, didn't dare to look at his father, and asked in a muffled voice, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

He Guhong smiled: "Just the way you were wandering before, tell you, what can you do except make you feel something?" Now that you have experienced the taste of true love, you must be able to understand your mother's heart better, right? ”

He Xiangxian silently packed up the letters and photos.

"I'll be nice to Wanqin." He grinned, "Like my mother, the person I identify is a lifetime." ”

He Guhong nodded: "I believe you." ”

He Xiangxian went upstairs with his mother's small suitcase, and suddenly remembered something halfway through. Turning back and asking, "That...... Tan Yueqiu, was the person you liked when you were young? ”

He Guhong sighed and smiled: "It's the benefactor who saved my life." ”

In 1944, He Guhong, who was 16 years old, ate rice at the wharf of Tan's house in Fujian. After the surrender of the Japanese army, there was another civil war in China, and although Tan Yueqiu's father was a general of the national army, he was dissatisfied with the corruption of the national government, so he resigned and returned to his hometown and moved to Hong Kong. The Tan family's property was either distributed to the collateral or sold for gold bars. But the dock business was too big, and the Tan family was handed over to the then national government.

The days of a dock worker were changed in an instant.

The exploitation and ruthlessness of the Nationalist government forced He Guhong and the workers to rise up and resist.

The battle between government forces and civilians ended in a civilian victory. However, the government immediately deployed troops to suppress the riots. He Guhong escaped to Guangzhou smoothly under the cover of Tan Yueqiu, and it was also under her recommendation that he found a place in the Guangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

He witnessed with his own eyes that the little girl of the Tan family, who loved to laugh and love, became a calm and calm lady who could deal with the national army.

Over the years, he has been paying attention to Tan Yueqiu's movements. It wasn't until she graduated from college and joined the campus and got married in Haicheng that she let go of the obsession in her heart. It's just that I didn't expect that there are so many negative lovers in this world. Han Zun, that scumbag, has harmed the eldest lady all her life, and when she is old, she has to bully the eldest lady to plan her family property alone!

"Hmph." He Guhong sneered, "I'll go and support Miss Tan." ”

Since He Xiangxian's heart knot has been opened, it is very pitiful to think that his father has been alone in the empty house all these years, and it is also a good thing to have a companion when he is old. I couldn't help but ask: "Just to support myself?" ”

He Guhong glanced at him, took a sip of tea and opened the topic: "When are you and Wanqin going to have a happy event?" ”

He Xiangxian lowered his head and muttered: "I haven't proposed yet." ”

"Then you have to hurry. Maybe, I'll move faster than you. ”

He Xiangxian glared at his father, his eyes rolling.

"Coincidentally, Wanqin originally planned to go to Fujian to pay New Year's greetings to Ling Mei and Qin Hua. Sister Ling Mei and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Why don't you and Wanqin accompany you to support Aunt Tan? ”

He Guhong smiled happily: "Okay." ”
