"Didn't you go to Hong Kong Island after you left the mainland, why did you come to Europe?"

"I didn't find anyone on Hong Kong Island, so I didn't stay long before I came to Europe, did graduate school in the UK, and now I'm a senior vice president of R&D at a cosmetics company."

Relatives have just met, Guo Meiyun doesn't want to mention those unbearable pasts, she just wants to share the best parts of these years with her sister.

"Looks like you're doing well." Guo Meifeng said without any emotion, "You are doing so well, why don't you come back to see the fifth child?" The fifth child is the smartest child in the family, if he has the money to train him well, he will definitely have a great future now! ”

Guo Meiyun said a little sadly: "You and your brother-in-law raised Chubby so well, how can I have the face to go back and have children?" Besides, Chubby is quite promising, and I was admitted to university without me. ”

After crying, Guo Meifeng's mind had regained clarity, and she keenly grasped the key point and asked, "How do you know that the fifth child is a college student?" ”

"I can see it." Guo Meiyun replied lightly, "That child's temperament is literate at first glance." ”

"Hey, that's weird!" Guo Meifeng stared at her fingers that kept moving, and said mockingly, "I haven't seen you all these years, and you have learned to judge people by their appearance!" I'm still a drama school teacher, and I've made several movies, but you don't see that I'm a teacher and a big star? I'm also quite temperamental! ”

Meiyun was brought up by her, and her habits and small actions are clear to Guo Meifeng.

Every time she lies or gets nervous, Miyun picks the nail of her middle finger with her thumb.

So, every time she lies, she can't escape her own eyes.

Decades have passed, and it seems that Meiyun's habit has not changed.

She slapped the table and said, "You dead girl, you dare to lie to me!" Hurry up and tell the truth! ”

Guo Meiyun was embarrassed.

She is also a person who is fifty years younger, and some people will still call her "dead girl".

It's been a long time.

"What are you rubbing! Don't hurry up yet! ”

Guo Meiyun had no choice, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she told the truth: "I heard about the reform and opening up of the mainland a few years ago, and I once went back. ”

"Then why don't you go home?" Guo Meifeng straightened up and asked.

"Fat Pang had just been admitted to college that year, and Second Brother Di said that if it was known that the Di family had overseas connections like mine, it would affect Fat Fat's admission results."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Second Brother Di is the younger brother of my brother-in-law. He said that the political trial was very strict, and Lao Di's family only had a fat college student, and the whole family was counting on him to glorify his ancestors, so I must not drag the fat back legs. ”

Hearing this, Guo Meifeng's eyes turned black with anger, "How can there be a matter of Di Lao Er here?" You are stupid, you will believe whatever he says? Why don't you come back and ask me in person? ”

Guo Meiyun wanted to see her parents and sister at that time, but when she decided to return to China, she hesitated and weighed it for a long time before buying a plane ticket.

She was already swaying from side to side in her heart, and after being said like that by Second Brother Di, she didn't dare to show her face.

Back then, my brother-in-law took very good care of this younger brother, and when she went to her sister's house as a guest, she could often meet this second brother Di.

Never thought that the other party might lie to her.

"I don't think it's enough for this Di Lao Er's lame leg, I have to discount his other leg!" Guo Meifeng stared at her sister and asked uncertainly, "He didn't ask you for money, did he?" ”

Chapter 176

Guo Meiyun did not go home after arriving in Beijing that day, but found her eldest sister's residence in Taipingli Hutong according to the location in her memory.

Summer in Beijing is still hot, and the sun is shining brightly in the sky.

When she came to the gate of the courtyard with her luggage and sweating profusely, she heard the laughter and noise in the courtyard.

There are also two tables outside my sister's cottage.

This unusual bustle made her cautiously retract her steps into the door.

In the years before she left Beijing, she was very strict about overseas relations, and she didn't want to cause trouble for her sister and brother-in-law, so she turned around the corner of the alley like an ordinary passer-by, and listened to the movements in the courtyard with her ears pricked up.

It seems that my sister's son was admitted to college, and the neighbors are complimenting her for teaching her son well.

My sister chatted loudly with the neighbors, saying polite words such as "It's all the children's own efforts".

The joy in the words could be felt even by her, the one standing outside the wall.

She wandered in the alley for more than an hour that day, and had planned to ask a stranger to come in and help call people after the banquet was over.

Then the sisters secretly met outside.

But she bumped into the second child of the Di family who left early from the banquet in the alley.

From Di Laoer, Guo Meiyun finally got the exact news that it was the fifth child of her sister's family who was admitted to college, that is, she was fat.

When she heard the news, she was both proud and disappointed.

She dared to set foot on this land again, and even dared to ask her sister to meet, because she found a high-sounding reason-

Educational resources in China are limited, and the college entrance examination was stopped long before she went to Hong Kong Island.

If Chubby can't get a good education in China, she can take Chubby abroad!

However, the child was admitted to college with her own ability, and she had no reason to take the child away.

Second Brother Di introduced to her the situation of the old Di family over the years, her brother-in-law died, and her sister pulled six children alone.

Chubby is a college student who is provided by the whole family.

With this college student, the old Di family will turn over just around the corner.

Guo Meiyun believes these words.

She was the only college student in the commune back then, and when the villagers mentioned her, there was no one who didn't give her a thumbs up.

Her father was a farmer, and her mother's work was known by many as the ninth-rate.

However, after she became a college student, she became a quasi-state cadre or a scientist.

This allowed her parents to be treated the same as production captains in the commune.

If there is any latest decision in the village, the captain will also come to her family to ask for their opinion.

What a college student can bring to a family, or even a family, Guo Meiyun knows very well.

Western media rarely report on the situation in the mainland, and if they do, it is mostly negative.

Just like this Lyon International Exposition, although there is a Beijing pavilion, except for the French edition of the People's Daily, there is no shadow of the Beijing delegation in other local newspapers.

The news of the mainland's reform and opening up came from a publicly-funded student by chance.

According to him, after four years of reform and opening up in the interior, some overseas Chinese can invest in the coastal areas.

At that time, there were no computers, no Internet, and Western newspapers were silent about reform and opening up, and the information she could collect was passed on by word of mouth among her compatriots.

Therefore, when Second Brother Di said that her presence would affect Chubby's college admission results, she was both frightened and suspicious.

Isn't it already let go?

Overseas Chinese are also welcome to return to China to invest, so why should overseas relations be taboo when admitting college students?

The reason given by Second Brother Di is, "The policy is repeated, who can say for sure!" ”

She didn't get to see her sister that day, so when she returned to the hotel, she looked for various newspapers to read.

also spoke in a Beijing accent, and called the university that admitted Chubby, asking if there would be a political trial when they admitted students.

Then, she got an affirmative answer.

That school is a university directly under the ministry, and the graduates will be enriched into the foreign trade front and the diplomatic front, and the importance can be imagined.

If she insists on going her own way to come to the door to recognize, it is likely to affect the child's future.

And she saw a news in the newspaper at that time that someone had organized a private ball at home, danced a swing dance, and was convicted of hooliganism and shot during the crackdown.

This news made her completely believe Second Brother Di's words.

She spent a week in Beijing that year.

When I returned to the village, I looked at my red brick house from afar, and saw my parents and villagers who were working.

He also avoided the villagers and ran to the cemetery and found his own grave.

The moment she saw the grave with her own eyes, she really realized that Guo Meiyun had completely disappeared here.

She was homeless.

In addition, she spends more time wandering in the alleys, occasionally meeting several children of the eldest sister's family.

Once I saw a chubby teenager from a distance, wearing a hurdle vest, riding a dilapidated tricycle, and Guo Meifeng was sitting in the body.

The two seemed to have just come back from the vegetable market, the eldest sister held half a bottle of soda in one hand and handed it to the front, letting Chubby take a sip, and holding a big pu fan in the other hand, fanning Chubby's sweaty back.

This scene made Guo Meiyun's face hot.

She felt like a thief.

The eldest sister watered and fertilized the little tree, but she came back to pick the fruit in time for the harvest season.

Guo Meifeng took in the look of shame on her face, and asked in a soft voice: "Di Lao Er really didn't ask you for money?" ”

encountered such a big fat sheep halfway, if he didn't slaughter it, he wouldn't be Di Lao'er.

"I just returned to China that day, and I only had 300 yuan on me in exchange for the taxi driver." Guo Meiyun shook her head and said, "We were both frequent visitors to my brother-in-law's house back then, and he was the child's own uncle. ”

Guo Meifeng asked in disbelief: "Really only gave three hundred yuan?" ”

More than ten years ago, 300 yuan was equivalent to a year's salary, which was not less.

No wonder Di Lao Er didn't go to her door for a long time, and he didn't reveal the news of Meiyun, it turned out that he took advantage of her sister.

Guo Meiyun bowed his head and said, "I really only gave three hundred." I asked the taxi driver about the exchange rate, and I could barely exchange 20,000 yuan for foreign currency, and I wanted to keep the money at home, so I didn't give him foreign currency. ”

"Did you leave money for your family?" Guo Meifeng asked suspiciously.

Guo Meiyun paused to wipe her tears, and said in a daze: "Sister, haven't you received the money?" ”

"Nope."

The sisters stopped at the same time and looked at each other.

Guo Meifeng was anxious, pulled her and asked, "How much?" Who did you give the money to? It won't be handed over by Di Laoer, right? Why are you stupid again! How can so much money be given to outsiders casually? ”

Di Lao Er's kind of person, as long as the money falls into his hands, it will directly become his!
