Shuiqing left. She left amid silent thanks from Zhaoqing's father and Wang Yunlin.
Although there were too many mysteries in today's incident, one thing she could see clearly was that they were reunited as brothers and sisters who had not seen each other for many years.
She doesn't need to know anything else. This is enough for her to feel joy and happiness from the bottom of her heart that she has unintentionally helped others.
But on this day, the ones who were really surprised were Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
It was already half past twelve when they returned home. The first thing they were surprised to see was that the table was filled with extraordinarily rich food, but no one in the family used their chopsticks.
My parents, eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother, sister and nephew were all sitting around the Eight Immortals table. I don’t know whether the food was just right or whether I was waiting for them to come back.
Following them, they discovered that there was a strange old man at the table. Judging from his appearance, his clothes were patched and patched. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was poor.
But it must be said that his beard is neatly trimmed, and he also looks very stylish when he sits upright.
In particular, this man has a pair of beautiful and lively eyes. When he sees them, his eyes show intimacy and enthusiasm, without being arrogant or arrogant, nor humble or uneasy.
Of course, Hong Yanwu no longer looked down on people's qualities. He speculated that this person was probably a friend and old friend of his parents. So he took Quanzi and nodded to the old man together, saying "Hello, uncle" politely.
Unexpectedly, the father opened his mouth and said, "This is your uncle. The third child, Quanzi, you all kneel down and kowtow." He immediately pushed them into the fog, and they couldn't recover for a long time.
And then when they reacted and kowtowed side by side, their mother's words were even more shocking.
After a more detailed introduction, they learned that Wang Yunlin's original surname was Wanyan, and her real name was Wanyan Yunlin. The surname Wang was the Han surname she changed after marrying into the Hong family.
As for this uncle, his full name is Wanyan Yuntai. In fact, he is the urinary man that Hong Yanwu heard his mother talk about several times when he was a child.
The two brothers and sister had been separated due to "escape from rebellion" after the "Marco Bridge Incident" in 1937. Today, they met unexpectedly under extremely accidental circumstances.
At this time, both Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan felt that life could not be more bizarre than this.
In particular, this uncle not only came here by himself, but he was also the biological father of "Zhao Qing" who kept delivering eggs to them.
Looking back now, Chen Liquan had some foresight. This was probably why he said that he had some similarities with Hong Yanwu when he saw Zhaoqing.
In fact, Yuntai feels the same way. Until now, he still feels that today is like a dream.
Originally, this was just a matter of running an errand for his son. Why did he not come to Beijing for more than 20 years, and then he accidentally found his way to his sister's home?
Especially when he thought about his son's only regular customers in the capital in the past six months, his sister's third son and godson. He even felt that there was a mysterious force that controlled people's ups and downs, joys and sorrows.
Happy.
So after Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan washed their hands and sat down, Yuntai poured himself a glass of wine and presented it to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
He said directly, "Uncle, I have to thank you two first! If it weren't for the relationship between you and Zhaoqing, how could I see your mother again?"
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were so panicked that they quickly stood up and bowed to greet them. They said that they couldn't afford it. It was purely an accident. Uncle, please be polite.
Yuntai said, "You don't need to be afraid. There is a true fate between us. I heard your mother said that you practiced official wrestling with Master Yu, which is your blessing. But there is one thing you probably don't know yet.
, Mr. Yu’s nephew Yu Hong is a good friend of mine, and he also taught me about wrestling privately. From this point of view, we can still be considered brothers..."
There was humor in Yuntai's words, which made both Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan laugh involuntarily.
Hong Yanwu thought for a moment and spoke frankly.
"Uncle, although we have never met, my mother has told me about you several times. I heard that you used skulls to play tricks on the lamas of the Lama Temple, used firecrackers to tie the tails of dogs to blow up the stage, and you can also fly over the walls.
Well. I have admired it since I was little..."
But as soon as he said these words, Hong Lucheng scolded him. "How presumptuous! What nonsense are you talking about? It's neither big nor small..."
Fortunately, Yuntai's temperament seems to be very compatible with Hong Yanwu. He doesn't mind at all, and he doesn't shy away from it. On the contrary, he talks about it.
"Ahem! That's nothing. I also traced the beard of Yuan Shikai on the Tiananmen Square, led the beggars in the Pao'er Bureau to make trouble, and summoned the white crane on the Xizhimen Gate Tower! That was all because I was young and ignorant.
What a stupid thing, and now I regret my wild and unscrupulous behavior back then. I heard that your kid is also a gangster who climbs trees and skins cats, and he has only started to grow up now. Then we two really have each other. We will encourage each other in the future.
Well, don’t bring trouble to your family anymore. Maybe you just followed me, and that’s why your parents suffered..."
These words made everyone laugh. Not to mention that Hong Yanwu admired his uncle's "glorious deeds" even more. The other children of the Hong family also found this uncle really interesting.
The meal that followed was quite enjoyable for both host and guest.
Although it was just home-cooked food, Hong Lucheng was full of "negligence" and "ashame", saying that he should hold a banquet at "Judequan" and "Cuihua Building" to welcome the couple. But according to Yuntai, he was not the one to do it.
Agate is like a juggler who doesn't know the price of firewood and rice. The stick noodles steamed buns still taste delicious.
He doesn't know how to cook, so this is what he has been thinking about for many years. His sister's food is very delicious, such as "salted eggplant", "sweet-scented osmanthus meat", "fried yellow cabbage with leeks", "roasted tofu with black bean sauce",
They are very satisfied with their mother's true inheritance. As for the regret, it is that it is not in season and they cannot eat the "sugar cabbage" passed down by the Wanyan family.
Wang Yunlin said with a smile, "Isn't this easy? In winter, I will pickle two jars first and send them to your home. I will never stop eating your "sugar cabbage" from now on.
All in all, it was a family joy. Brothers and sisters got together, and although they spoke lightly to each other, they were filled with love and affection.
You know, they were both young and handsome when they parted. When they meet again in the blink of an eye, not only do they have gray hair and wrinkles, but they also have children of their own. If they are pregnant, can they still be finished?
In addition, the younger generation of the Hong family quickly became familiar with Yuntai. Before the meal was finished, the whole family, including Hong Jun, was already called "uncle" and "uncle" became very easy to pronounce.
Regarding this point, Yuntai was even more emotional, saying that now he only has his wife to accompany him in Longkou Village. Now there are so many nephews in the capital, and the niece's calling is very heart-warming. It is really precious. From now on, he is no longer alone.
Loneliness, the biggest regret is now complete.
However, beneath the surface of this pleasant atmosphere, Hong Yanwu still discovered several strange places, which were quite unusual.
One is that his father Hong Lucheng's attitude was too respectful, as if he owed his uncle money, and every move he made was cautious. There was a trace of deliberate flattery, and it was not as natural and respectful as the ordinary brother-in-law meeting his uncle.
Too close.
Second, my uncle and my mother were talking. They both seemed to remember the past events firmly, and they seemed to have completely forgotten them. At most, they talked about how my grandmother had been buried in the ancestral grave in Longkou Village, and they talked about sports.
How did each other get here?
There are very few parts that really involve the old days. They mostly talk about the present, the changes in the capital, and life at home.
Therefore, he always felt that this situation was awkward. It seemed that these three elders were deliberately avoiding something from that year, and the geography was unclear. This inevitably made him full of doubts.
But after a while, his attention was no longer on this. Because after dinner and drinking tea, when he continued to chat, it was no longer the irrelevant and miscellaneous content.
Yun Tai formally told the Hong family about his troubles. He talked in detail about his son who deliberately changed the topic during the dinner to avoid talking about it in order to avoid spoiling the atmosphere.
Only then did the Hong family know what had happened to Zhaoqing these days, and they were surprised by the current situation and distress of their uncle's family.
Regarding this matter, most of the Hong family's attitude is of course supportive of Yuntai. They all think that Zhaoqing is too motivated and should put his future and studies first. Finally, he has the opportunity to jump into the dragon gate. It would be a pity to give up for the personal relationship of his children.
.
But no one expected that only Hong Yanwu would side with Zhaoqing and persuade Yuntai to come.
"Uncle, I'm not afraid you won't like to hear it. I really have to say that people of the older generation have their considerations, and people of the younger generation have their difficulties. There is no doubt that you are doing it for your cousin's good. But you can't
Put yourself in Zhaoqing's shoes. On one side, he has you and his filial piety, and on the other side, he has his own emotions. It's hard enough to be angry..."
"In addition, people who can make achievements are inseparable from their character traits. People who pay too much attention to morality and emotions will actually find it difficult to climb to the top of life because they are not ruthless and sinister enough. We can learn from history and stand at the top of the real society.
Who is not a ruthless character? But according to my opinion, my cousin is a person who is both ethical and emotional. Do you really think he is suitable for pursuing fame and fortune? Think about it again, if he could abandon his childhood sweetheart Xiaoqin today,
Why can't you give up other sentiments in the field of utilitarianism in the future? This is not what you want..."
After saying this, Hong Lucheng saw Yuntai's expression of confusion and couldn't help scolding him again.
"You are making fallacies and arrogating reason! In ordinary times, there is no good person who can be an official? Besides, you can also study in college, isn't your second brother..."
"Dad! Can you let me finish what I'm saying?"
In order to express himself completely, Hong Yanwu was a little careless and tired, so he insisted on saying something and then went on to talk to himself.
"Uncle, there are honest officials and corrupt officials. Officials who work hard or are content with their happiness have different risks, joys and sorrows, so I won't go into it. Finally, what I said is that even if you can achieve something in learning, it can't be compared with emotions.
Comparatively? Yes, a real man should put his career first, so he doesn’t need this life. But this is on the premise that he cannot sacrifice his feelings. In my opinion, the most important thing in a person’s life is feelings. Family affection, friendship, and the love between men and women are
Equally important. After all, utilitarianism is an external thing, which is the icing on the cake for people's emotional perfection. Emotion is one, and utilitarianism is the zero behind. Let's not talk about whether utilitarianism can be caught up or not. Even if we catch up, it will feel like being alone.
, but it is far less happy than a family living a plain life lovingly and lovingly..."
"To be honest, I don't have a fixed job, so I don't deserve to sing high-profile. But I really feel that most people are limited in how far they can achieve in their careers in this life, and few people can achieve the ultimate. Even after going to college.
Even if you climb to a high position, you will inevitably have regrets when you grow old. But precisely in terms of emotions, most people are qualified to pursue perfection. And relatively speaking, people may still have the opportunity to make up for utilitarian failures, even if they cannot make up for it.
You can always let yourself go. Only emotional matters are different, and there is often no way to make up for it. Just like the principle of "a child wants to be raised, but relatives don't wait", if you really miss it, it will cause regrets, and it will be a waste of your life.
It is a pain that is difficult to let go, and a sorrow that is unforgettable and difficult to resolve. You have all experienced this, and you must have experienced it more deeply than me..."
Don't worry, just these words made everyone present fall silent.
Not to mention that Hong Lucheng, Yuntai, and Wang Yunlin looked at each other, their eyes flickering, shaking their heads, or sighing, as if they were thinking of something. Even Hong Yanwen was stunned after hearing this, and looked out the window to initiate.
Silenced.
This must be the feeling of each person through different experiences, and they each taste the unspeakable taste in their hearts.
For a moment, when Chen Liquan, Hong Yanzheng, Xu Manli and Hong Yanru looked at Hong Yanwu as if they didn't recognize each other, the room suddenly fell silent.
The only sound was Hong Jun snoring evenly on the bed.
