The Fang family is a two-entry house with a simple and plain layout. It is not a wealthy family.
But after all, they are from the city. When Old Man Xu looked at this, he was still a little cautious in his heart.
Along the way, I learned a lot from the lively Fang Yuxing. The restraint in Old Man Xu's heart gradually dissipated. This was his little sister's house, not someone else's.
News of the disaster in Yunzhou has long since spread to Yiyang Prefecture. Last year, Xu Ani asked someone to send food to Yunzhou. Not long ago, I heard that many people in Yunzhou had fled to Qingzhou.
Xu Ani was wondering if Old Man Xu and the others would come too, so she always asked her husband and son to go out of the city more often to inquire.
A few days ago, when many refugees gathered outside the city, Fang Changxu and his son also went out to look for them, but could not find them.
Two days ago, the government came forward to resettle the refugees and registered the names of the refugees to apply for temporary household registration documents. In the past few days, Fang Changxu and his son have been busy working on this matter.
There were so many refugees that I couldn’t find the names of Old Man Xu’s family for a while. I never thought that Old Man Xu would come looking for them himself.
After hearing all these things, Old Man Xu was filled with sighs and sighs. When he entered the main hall and saw his little sister who had been away for many years, Old Man Xu's eyes turned red and he was very excited, "Ani..."
"Brother!" Fang Xu suddenly saw her eldest brother, whose hair was a little gray, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
The two brothers and sisters, who had not seen each other for many years, suddenly met each other, and it was difficult to control their emotions.
It's a long way from Qingzhou to Yunzhou. It's inconvenient to go out these days, and there are various reasons. Therefore, since Fang Xu married in Qingzhou, although she often asked people to bring things back to her over the years, she never went back to her parents' home to visit her relatives.
.
It's been a long time since relatives saw each other, so Mrs. Fang Xu was so excited that she couldn't help herself.
Old Man Xu was so excited that she calmed down, but her emotions were still a little unsettled.
It was the eldest daughter-in-law who persuaded me, "Mom, you have been thinking about my uncle and his family these days. Now that you have finally met your uncle, why don't you ask your uncle about their situation?"
Mrs. Fang Xu calmed down and quickly asked Old Man Xu, "Brother, where is my sister-in-law? And where are my nephews and the others? You came from Yunzhou and suffered all the way. Where are you now? Why didn't you take me with you?
Will my sister-in-law and the others come home together?"
Old man Xu then told his little sister how he left Dawang Village, how he went all the way to Qingzhou, and then ended up in Yiyang Prefecture.
"Your sister-in-law and the others are outside the city. We have been placed in the 16th Village of the Refugees. Everyone is doing well. Our families who came all the way are all here, not one of them is missing. This is because our ancestors have blessed us!"
These things have passed, and he spoke quite calmly, but Mrs. Fang Xu couldn't help but shed tears.
How can those who are fleeing from famine not suffer?
When she was a child, she often heard her father talk about his escape from famine.
"It's good that they're all here, it's good that they're all here! Brother, why don't you bring your sister-in-law and the others with you? Are you being placed in the Sixteenth Village of the Refugees? No wonder, in the past two days, my husband and the others have been asking people to inquire about the refugees, but they haven't heard anything about the refugees yet.
I went to the 16th Village. Fortunately, brother, you found it yourself today. Otherwise, if you had asked him to inquire, it would have taken two days to find it!"
With that said, Fang Xu was about to ask Fang Yuxing to find his father and elder brother, then leave the city and go to the Sixteenth Village of the Refugees to pick up Mrs. Xu and the others.
Old man Xu quickly stopped him, "No, no, no, Ani. We are living well now. The government helped build a house. We also received quilts. We don't need to pick them up if we can't bear the cold. Besides, we
There are several families together, including your sister-in-law’s natal family and Chunshan’s uncle. They are all relatives. There are dozens of people in these families. We all escaped together, so it’s fun to live together!”
Fang Xu listened and wondered why the eldest brother was afraid of causing trouble to her?
She knew her eldest brother's temperament, so she didn't say anything about picking them up at the moment. She also heard that Xu Chunhe and his brothers were carrying large bags at the dock, so she asked Fang Yuxing to find them and pick them up for dinner.
Old man Xu also stopped him quickly.
Mrs. Fang Xu had no choice but to ask Fang Yuxing to deliver the letter and call her husband and son back. She also asked her daughter-in-law to prepare the meal. She looked at old man Xu and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I will listen to the big brother. If you don't answer, big brother."
You have to stay so that we, brothers and sisters, can have a good reunion!"
Fang Yuxing and his daughters-in-law had all gone, and for a while only Fang Xu and his grandson, Mr. Xu, were left in the main hall.
Mrs. Fang Xu then looked at Xu Dajun and smiled kindly, "This should be Liu Lang, right? Oh, he looks so handsome. He looks like a good boy at first glance."
Over the years, Old Man Xu has received many things and letters from Fang Xu's entrustment, and he has also sent things and letters back to him. He has also told Fang Xu about the family affairs and current situation.
Therefore, even though she has never met him, Fang Xu can identify her by looking at her age, just like Mr. Xu knew who Fang Yuxing was when he saw him.
Xu Dajun smiled and said, "My aunt guessed it right, I am Liu Lang!"
"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Fang Xu was so happy that she couldn't help but have nothing on hand to give as a greeting gift. If it was a girl's family, she could still return the bracelet or something on her hand.
So he looked around, then simply pulled the purse from his waist and handed it over, "Good boy, my aunt will like you as soon as she sees you."
Thinking that he would have to prepare something else later, Rokuro had read a book, so it was just right to give him a book, pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Mrs. Fang Xu and Old Man Xu were chatting and reminiscing about old times. The brother and sister had not seen each other for more than 20 years. Although they often exchanged letters, how could such face-to-face conversations be real?
Xu Dajun just sat beside him quietly, distracted.
It's not that you are distracted, or you just move your ears slightly, you can hear all the movements in this house.
There were not many people in the house, and what he heard clearly was that the two cousins just now were busy talking in the kitchen.
While listening to those words, and then listening to Fang Xu talking to old man Xu, Xu Dajun glanced at Fang Xu without any trace, and couldn't help but smile in his heart.
It’s no wonder that grandpa misses this great aunt, and this great aunt really respects her elder brother and sister-in-law sincerely.
At this time, we have almost finished reminiscing about old times, and the two brothers and sisters have said everything they need to say after not seeing each other for many years. Although they are not completely happy, Old Xu and the others will not leave in the future, and they will have a long time to come.
Just in time, Fang Yuxing went to bring the letter, and Fang Changxu came back without stopping with his two sons.
The two sides met happily.
Fang Changxu held up his hands and shouted "uncle" enthusiastically. The eldest son Fang Yulin and the second son Fang Yuming also came forward to greet him and called them "uncle". Their expressions were sincere, without any perfunctory or contempt.
This made old man Xu relax a little and not shrink back.
After a while of greetings, he took advantage of the situation and said: "Now that we have settled down, we are not familiar with the place in Yiyang Mansion, so it is a bit difficult to grasp, and others don't feel at ease when they think that we are not locals.
With us, I just wanted to trouble my brother-in-law and see if I can help and introduce some stable jobs. You can rest assured that they will definitely work hard and diligently, and they will not embarrass your introduction."
