When He Daqing left Sijiu City, Yuyu was still a child.
Now she has grown into a big girl.
But no matter how long she grows or how she changes, her daughter can still recognize her.
He Daqing heard that there was a girl looking for him at the door, but he didn't know who it was.
When I came out, my eyes were blurry.
"Daughter? Rainwater?"
"It's rare that you can still recognize me. That year my brother led me to find you, but you didn't even meet me. You're so cruel. You walked away for more than ten years without asking me!"
He Daqing wiped the old tears from the corner of his eyes and said with shame: "Isn't that why I am not a family member? I am also a house bird under the eaves. I was kicked out as soon as I asked for it."
"Then you still want to follow her? Leave me and my brother behind?"
"Sigh... My daughter, you were still young at that time, and you didn't understand even if I told you. If you don't keep your mouth shut and tell others, the three of us will never have a good life."
He Yuyu wiped his tears and said calmly: "Okay, I came here to ask clearly. I have grown up now and can understand what you say."
"Well, then, you haven't eaten yet, let's go forward and I'll buy you a fire."
"No need, I'm in the mood to eat after you finished speaking. Could you please tell me why you left in the first place?"
He Daqing looked around and saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice: "At that time, it was necessary to divide into groups. Fortunately, your grandfather died early, otherwise he would have been a proper feudal landlord. When he was young, he worked as a cook at the prince's house in the Qing Dynasty. He was very popular and drank spicy food.
He missed the Qing Dynasty and named me after He Daqing."
He Yuyu frowned and said: "Our family is not a farm laborer?"
"Hehe~"
He Daqing smiled slyly, "I inquired at that time, even if I lose your grandfather's family fortune, as long as I have those two houses, I will still be a rich farmer, and you will not be able to have a good job in the future."
"So you just left?"
"It just so happened that your stepmother came to Beijing and I fell in love with her, so I asked someone to get the identity of a farmhand for you two. It was for your own good. I followed your stepmother and you became popular because of your identity. You killed two birds with one stone. No fool would leave.
Woolen cloth."
"She is not our stepmother! You left us alone and ignored us, and you still said you were doing your best for us. Isn't that interesting?"
He Daqing shook his head and said: "Why don't I care? I send you ten yuan every month. I sent it to Yi Zhonghai. I didn't stop until your brother joined the work. I wrote four letters every year in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
I'm asking Yi Zhonghai for news about you two. I'm kidding! You are my children, can I just say no? You, on the other hand, have always hated me. Yi Zhonghai wrote a letter saying that your brother was still scolding me in the courtyard last year!
"
"Nonsense! My brother hates you, but he has never scolded you in front of outsiders!"
"Yes, it seems that the person I entrusted to you is not the right person."
He Daqing pondered: "Yi Zhonghai always replies that you hate me and won't forgive me. Today you are here. I see that you still have a father-daughter relationship. Yi Zhonghai is lying!"
He Yuyu was silent for a moment.
He slowly said: "Yi Zhonghai has been the first uncle for several years. He specializes in regulating affairs in the courtyard. His reputation has been bad not long ago. Now no one in the courtyard pays attention to him. He has never said anything about you sending us money.
In those years, he gave us 5 yuan a month and bought us food. Everyone thought he was taking good care of us."
He Daqing turned blue with anger, "This Lao Yi is really two-faced. He deserves to have a bad reputation. I have not dared to go back to see you in the past few years. On the one hand, I am afraid of being reported, and on the other hand, I am afraid that you will kick me out. I
I don’t have the nerve to go back, it seems that Yi Zhonghai is the one causing trouble.”
"Why is he like this? Is he really going to pick up a ready-made pensioner and ask my brother to provide for him in his old age, as others said?"
He Daqing said coldly: "I haven't been back in the past few years. I don't know the situation in the hospital. I can't control what your brother thinks. Let them go. Anyway, I have no bad intentions."
He Yuyu complained: "You thought you left for our own good, but have you asked us if we are willing? We don't want any good elements, we just want to have a father. Now my brother is not stingy and doesn't do anything.
I understand, it’s just that no one taught him that’s why he behaves like this!”
He Daqing said disapprovingly: "No, your brother may appear muddy on the surface, but he is smart on the inside."
"Humph! Forget it, if my brother was smart, he wouldn't be unable to see his children after the divorce and end up in jail!"
"What? Your brother is married and has children? Why didn't Yi Zhonghai mention it when he replied to the letter in the summer? Why didn't he mention it?"
"My brother asked me to come here specifically to inquire this time. Now the truth has been revealed. Neither Yi Zhonghai nor Mr. 1 has anything to do with our Lao He family. Anyway, as long as my brother still recognizes me as his sister, he can't give
Yi Zhonghai provides retirement care!”
He Daqing said: "Yes, thank you for coming, otherwise I would still be kept in the dark. Tell me, what happened to your brother who was divorced and jailed?"
He Yuyu explained in detail the events from Shazhu's marriage to Liu Yuhua to He Feibiao's current age of more than three months.
He Daqing nodded and said: "Okay! She is the daughter-in-law of my old He family. The ancestral home of the old He family should be left to her mother and daughter! Do you have any photos of the child?"
"No, if you want to see your grandson, just go back and see it yourself."
"No, no, I can't go back. If I go back to see Yi Zhonghai, even if we don't fight, his evil people will expose me, and they won't let me leave!"
"Then you will never go back for the rest of your life?"
"I...sigh...I can't help it. The situation forces me to wait for the opportunity. Don't worry, if one day my health really fails, I will definitely go back and return to my roots. I won't die outside."
He Daqing looked at the sky in the northeast, which was the direction of the capital.
"When your brother is released from prison, tell him to stay away from Yi Zhonghai. If he doesn't listen, treat Fei Biao better. If someone takes Fei Biao's house, you must stop him."
"Well, you go to work, I'll be back soon."
"Daughter, don't you want to leave without eating?"
"I've asked all the questions that need to be asked. I won't stay here after the matter is done. If you want to go back, Yi Zhonghai won't be a problem at all. Now that he has been ruined, there is nothing to be afraid of. If you are reluctant to leave this place and don't want to go back, I will
I don’t have time to see you either.”
He Daqing said awkwardly: "I have already lost you both. I can't lose you here anymore. I have to take care of both ends. I'm sorry, my daughter."
He Yuyu shed tears, both sad and angry.
He made up his mind and turned around to leave, until he turned the corner at the intersection and disappeared without even looking back at his father.
He Daqing watched his daughter disappear into the distance and let out a long sigh.
"Oh! What a fate!"
…………
When it got dark, He Yuyu returned to the courtyard with red eyes.
I saw the deaf old lady and Liu Yuhua chatting at Lin Zhen’s house.
He hurried over and asked: "Old lady, do you know why my dad left? Do you know that Uncle 1 has often corresponded with my dad in the past few years?"
The deaf old lady was stunned when He Yuyu asked.
"Yu Yu, why do you suddenly ask about this?"
He Yuyu said: "I just came back from Baocheng and met my dad."
Lin Zhen and Lou Xiao'e looked at each other and were both surprised.
Liu Yuhua and the deaf old lady were also puzzled.
"Why did you suddenly go to Baocheng?"
"My brother asked me to go and ask him if he sends money home every month. I asked him, and he sent Uncle 1 10 yuan every month, but why did Uncle 1 say he abandoned us?
No need to ask anymore?"
The deaf old lady asked in surprise: "Why did Zhuzhu suddenly ask you to go to Baocheng to ask your father?"
He Yuyu said calmly: "My brother was imprisoned in the room where Uncle 1 used to stay. The people inside should have said something to him."
The deaf old lady nodded, "I know why your father left, and I also know that he sends you money every month, but I don't know that he exchanges letters with your uncle."
He Yuyu said in surprise: "You know? Then why don't you tell me the truth?"
The deaf old lady shook her head slightly.
"So what if I don't tell you? He will never come back in this life. Instead of thinking about it every day, it's better to hate him every day."
He Yuyu was stunned for a moment.
"Then, do you know what uncle 1 and my dad said in the correspondence?"
The deaf old lady shook her head and said: "I don't know, and I don't want to know. Your uncle has been stepped on in the quagmire now. Just give him a way to survive and don't step on him again."
Lin Zhen said from the side: "Old lady, I don't agree with your opinion. As long as a person does something, he has to bear the consequences. Just because he is miserable now, he cannot bear no responsibility."
The deaf old lady squinted her eyes and smiled: "I don't care and I don't ask, I just don't want to know."
Lin Zhen said lightly: "You know the benefits of pretending to be confused, but now that Shazhu and Yuyu know the truth, they should face it calmly and don't need to show off deliberately, but they can't hide it. Repay the kindness that should be repaid.
Seeking revenge seeking revenge.”
The deaf old lady smiled slightly and said: "Young people just think differently from the old people. When I get old, I won't mess around anymore."
He Yuyu nodded slowly after listening to Lin Zhen's words.
"Thank you Lin Zhen. You are right. There is no need to be afraid of anything or expect anything. You should treat it with a normal attitude. I will go to my brother tomorrow and tell him the truth."
He Yuyu turned around and left, then suddenly turned back to Liu Yuhua and said: "Fei Biao's mother, my father said that although the house is now a collective system, the house my brother lives in is the ancestral home of the old He family, which was left to Fei Biao
Yes, if anyone dares to rob you in the future, you can come to me and we can go to Baocheng to find Fei Biao’s grandfather."
Liu Yuhua smiled slightly and said: "That's all for later, let's talk about it later."
Early the next morning.
He Yuyu met Shazhu.
After recounting the whole story in detail, when it came to Yi Zhonghai using his father He Daqing's money to buy favors, Si Zhu couldn't sit still and felt as uncomfortable as a thorn in his body.
When it came to He Daqing's four letters every year and Yi Zhonghai's instigation, Si Zhu's eyes lost color.
"Rainwater, are these all real?"
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, ask again after you get out."
"Huh~ I understand, you can go back."
After returning to the room, Silhu was lifeless and stared blankly at the seven people in the room.
"Hey? Silly Zhu, why did you lose your soul after going out?"
"Alas...after meeting you, I realized that my life was in vain, and I might as well live in a muddle for the rest of my life!"
