The two hundred and ninetieth chapter relatives recognize each other
Hong Yanzheng was actually very reluctant to confess to his family the stupid thing he had done.
But the stakes in this matter are really important.
If he conceals it, it is very likely that his parents will regret it for the rest of their lives due to his fault.
Hong Yanzheng didn't want to live with self-blame and guilt for the rest of his life.
So telling the truth and finding ways to make amends is the only option.
In this way, after his father returned home, he could only hold back his shame and very slowly told his parents what had just happened.
Sure enough, the consequences were as serious as he imagined.
After hearing his words, not only the expressions of the whole family froze.
Hong Lucheng swayed and fell onto the chair.
As expected of a father and son, the old man behaved similarly to Hong Yanzheng just now, mumbling.
"How is it possible? How is it possible?"
Suddenly the house was in chaos.
Wang Yunlin hurriedly fanned her wife and rubbed her chest.
Xu Manli was also busy pouring tea and water.
The two children, Hong Jun and Hong Yi, were not afraid of being messed up and kept shouting, "Grandpa, Grandpa".
Everyone was afraid that the old man would be anxious.
Hong Yanzheng was even more embarrassed and lowered his head as low as possible.
He didn't dare to look up anymore. He couldn't face any of his family members, and he couldn't cope with the chaos in front of him...
Finally, the situation was not bad. The old man drank water, finally calmed down, and let out a long sigh of relief.
And fortunately, there is a man in the Hong family, who has spent his whole life to solve the family's difficulties and clean up the mess.
When Hong Yanwu returned home and understood the whole story, he immediately became the backbone of the family.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, everyone, please don't be anxious. Dad, you don't need to get too angry, and brother, don't blame yourself too much. Because from my perspective, the situation is not that serious."
"What!"
Hong Yan stood up fiercely, with hope in his eyes, and looked at his brother eagerly.
Hong Lucheng also asked, "Lao San, do you really think so?"
Hong Yanwu said in a low voice in an orderly manner, "My cousin said on the phone that he wanted to see us. Since he knows our phone number, even if he hangs up, he will not be able to find the address."
"Besides, just because the phone didn't come back today doesn't mean it won't come tomorrow. Maybe there's something wrong with the line at the other end? Maybe someone has an emergency? It's all possible."
"The purpose of my reading this phone call is to confirm whether we are the relatives he is looking for. Now that you have talked to each other, there is still more to this matter."
"To put it bluntly, there is always Li Fu watching over the old house. This cousin grew up there, so he can't find a way home, right?"
This was reasonable. Hong Lucheng and Hong Yan argued with each other and felt much more at ease. They both felt that Cha Cai was indeed a bit overly worried.
And Hong Yanwu has more to say later.
"...And from what I heard from this cousin, he is either already in the capital, or he will arrive soon. If that's the case, then we can take the initiative to find him."
"Don't forget, he can't live in ordinary places. He can only find hotels in hotels with foreign-related qualifications. There are only a few such places in the capital. After all, he grew up in the capital and won't go north. Isn't that right?
Is there a target? I've seen the most, namely the Jingcheng Hotel, Jianguo Hotel, Jinglun Hotel, Xinqiao Hotel, Qianmen Hotel. At worst, adding the Great Wall Hotel, we can take the initiative to look for it, that's also a way.
.”
"If you are still worried, we can publish missing persons notices on TV stations and newspapers at the same time. It only costs a few dollars. I dare say that as long as the person is in the capital, he can see it. Isn't that enough?
Already?"
"All in all, no matter who we find or who he is, I think it's just a matter of time. Don't make a fuss out of a molehill and mess up the situation."
Don't say it, it is reasonable and effective, and these words really appease everyone.
The old man immediately nodded happily.
"You are still thinking clearly, we are all concerned about it and it will lead to chaos. That matter should not be delayed, let's do it like this. I will leave this matter to you."
Hong Yanzheng strives to make up for his mistakes.
"Third brother, I'm going to take a few days off tomorrow. Do you think I can help you with anything? Just ask me."
In this way, the Hong family finally set the implementation policy and started to implement it the next day.
To be honest, Hong Yanwu's idea is indeed correct.
Although it was a bit troublesome to check the hotel's affairs, Shui Lan seemed a little uninterested in helping.
But it had only been three days since the missing person advertisements on TV stations and newspapers were put out. As he expected, Hong Yankang actually took the initiative to find the Hong family's door.
June 16, 1985, was a weekend with two Saturdays, and it was indeed a good day.
In the evening, the Hong family had just had dinner together and were clearing away the dishes when neighbor Lao Su opened the door and came in with someone.
Lao Su said, "Old Hong, Lao Hong, someone is looking for you."
After following him, he turned around and said to the person behind him again.
"The people you are looking for live here. Yes, they are the Hong family who originally opened 'Yanmei Building'."
Just this sentence, before the Hong family could see it clearly.
The man behind Lao Su jumped out and knelt down with a "pop" towards the Hong family couple.
Then he burst into tears and screamed.
"Second uncle, second aunt, I am Yankang..."
Both the Hong family members trembled all over and sat there in a daze, staring at the person in front of them in a daze.
They knew in their hearts that the person in front of them was probably their nephew who they had been thinking about day and night and looking forward to for several days.
What they didn't expect was that this person's accent and image were very different from what they imagined.
He could no longer hold his tongue straight, and his Jingcheng dialect was choked.
Although I have lived in Hong Kong for a long time, this is inevitable, but the appearance has also changed greatly.
In their memories, their nephew was still the slender, plump and handsome young man.
But now this man is already in his forties.
He has a fair face, a chubby figure, and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His past appearance is almost unrecognizable.
Also, the clothes are awkward. Why are you wearing a blue "people's costume" on such a hot day?
The collar is all tied up, so it really looks nondescript.
Fortunately, the pair of beautiful and lively eyes behind them still carry the familiar familiarity of the past, without any arrogance or arrogance, nor pettyness and uneasiness.
And if you look carefully, you can see that she looks a bit like his mother...
In this way, Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin dared to recognize each other.
"You...are you Yan Kang?"
"Are you really Yankang?"
Their hearts were beating with excitement, and the word they hadn't heard for many years suddenly popped out of their mouths.
But at the same time, a heavy depression also surged into my heart.
Thirty years, thirty years, this is almost half a person’s life.
The old couple had hot tears rolling in their eyes several times, and they were soon fascinated by it.
There seemed to be something blocked in my heart, and it was difficult to say even a single sentence.
However, Hong Yanzheng broke the deadlock at the scene.
His words "Mom, Dad, please get up quickly" reminded the old couple, and they hurriedly asked Luo to get Hong Yankang up.
At this time, it was Hong Yanzheng's turn to recognize Hong Yankang.
They are brothers who have lived together in the old house since childhood.
Although they are still half a level apart in terms of blood, they are four or five years apart in age.
But back then, they were the only two children in the Hong family, and they were no worse than full brothers.
They all remember climbing trees to pick persimmons together, catching small goldfish in the river together, reading and reciting Tang poems together, sneaking into "Yanmei Zhai" to steal the freshly baked "Saqima" to eat, and even imitating the adults' way of setting up wine to break up with each other.
Those past events.
So they hugged each other tightly, and the two men couldn't help but shed tears again.
At this time, Xu Manli and her children also gathered around.
Hong Yanzheng quickly introduced to his cousins that this was his wife, that was his eldest son, and his second son...
For some reason, the tears couldn't be stopped, and they were streaming down the faces of the two brothers.
As a result, the whole family started crying again.
This scene made even Lao Su, who was watching, feel a sore nose.
To be honest, he actually wanted to persuade, "It's a good thing for relatives to meet. Shouldn't we be happy?"
But he also knows that when a family reunites, they don't like outsiders to disturb them.
So without saying a word, he quietly walked out of the Hong family's door knowingly.
Then I thought again, it would be better to go to the West Courtyard for the Hong family to see if Hong Yanwu is back.
Even if Shui Qing was alone, he still knew she would be there.
Just at this moment, it was time for the screening of "Four Generations Under One Roof".
Not only in the east courtyard, but also in every house on the street, the TVs at home were all blaring like alarm clocks.
On time, everyone sang the song "Reorganizing the River and Mountains for Future Generations" by Luo Yusheng.
"The light and shadow of a thousand-mile sword, hatred burns the nine cities, no one returns home on a full moon night, there is no peace in the land of flowers..."
This distant Beijing-style drum and its sad and silent singing suddenly added a layer of heavy weight to the Hong family's cries.
Old Su sighed emotionally at the sight, shook his head, and then turned towards the west courtyard.
Cry! Crying is the only way to alleviate the pain of separation for so many years...
