On August 21, 1978, both Hong and Shou families got up very early.
Last night, because Wang Yunlin brought her daughter-in-law, she had already packed all the things she wanted to bring. This morning, the Shou family came on time again, without wasting any extra time. Everyone sat around
Breakfast was served in the main room of the Hong family.
After Hong Yanwu tied the things on the tricycle, everyone had enough to eat and drink, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and handed them over to Hong Yanzheng and his wife who were in charge of looking after the house, and then they all got on the tricycle.
At six o'clock in the morning, as if they were about to move, the two tricycles left Furuli together and headed straight out of the city in the direction of Caidoying.
Longkou Village was a little-known place in the capital city in the past and present.
The village is not big, with only about 300 households. The road is remote and difficult to travel.
After leaving Caihuying, we first passed through Changyang, passed Majiagou, and then passed Zhugezhuang. Then we still had to walk for half a day on a tricycle.
Not to mention the desolation, the road was full of potholes and pits. Compared with today's highways, national highways, and asphalt roads, which are flat and wide, it was like a world of two.
However, most people's behavior is controlled by their moods, and it is precisely because of this trip that everyone was in high spirits. Even if they were wandering all the way, they were joking and laughing all the way.
What's more, it's the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and all kinds of fruits are starting to go off the market. There are many melon fields and orchards along the way. For a few dollars, you can drink water from the kettle and eat watermelons, peaches, etc.
Plums, pears, dates, grapes.
In this way, it was not boring to eat and drink. At ten o'clock that day, we arrived at our destination.
When we entered the village, in addition to the lean yellow dog from the Yuntai family, there were also many people from various households.
You think about it? There are two carts pulling home furnishings and there are old men and old ladies. They don’t look like they are here to settle down, and they are definitely not educated youths. Seeing them from all the way, who wouldn’t want to come out and see what’s going on?
So Yuntai kept explaining to people all the way, shouting all the way to the door of his house. The bigger villages basically knew that Yuntai brought his relatives from the capital to visit, and it reached a level
to the point of becoming a household name.
Of course, there were many girls who were curious and chased them to the courtyard gate to watch the excitement. When Yuntai's guests got off the bus, they were still looking at the furnishings on the bus.
Wang Yunlin asked Hong Yanwu to bring some candies and give them to the children.
The children in the village were ashamed and took the candies one by one with blushing faces. They were too embarrassed to say "thank you" and ran away. But they stopped at a distance, and while eating the candies, they looked back and saw Hong Yanwu and Hong Yanwu.
Chen Liquan unloaded things from the car.
At this time, Andaniel had already come out to welcome her. This scene not only surprised her, but also caught her off guard.
It turned out that Yuntai didn't come home all night, and Zhaoqing was locked in the house again. She felt sorry for her son, but she was also afraid that her husband would be hungry, thirsty, tired, or something might happen to him in the capital.
To be honest, I have been uneasy since last night. Apart from cooking a bowl of porridge for my son in the morning, I didn’t think about anything else.
And when you suddenly see your husband returning home with all these guests, are you going to feel dizzy?
She didn't know what to say or what to do, and she didn't even know where to put her hands and feet. Only the tears came down.
This makes Yuntai a little embarrassed.
He first embarrassedly told everyone not to be offended. Then he comforted his wife a few words, and then introduced her to Andaniel to meet her relatives.
However, even though Andaniel was just a rural woman who had never seen her before, Wang Yunlin was very satisfied with this fair and tidy sister-in-law when they first met her.
Her appearance is not very beautiful, but she is gentle and dignified. She is more than ten years younger than Yun Tailai.
His temperament is even more plain and easy-going. He treats others without any exaggerated enthusiasm, but is kind and natural.
Such a person is most in line with her temperament.
Especially after exchanging a few words and being let into the house, she found that although the house was shabby, it was kept spotless.
There are mats spread on the kang, and the beds are stacked neatly. On the wall behind the table with its legs hung is a painting of chrysanthemum picking in Nanshan written by Yuntai.
Although the teapots and teacups on the table are all made of coarse porcelain, they are polished to a shiny finish. All kinds of things are placed in the right places, and the furnishings are also in place.
This is enough to show that Andaniel is a very capable person.
The most important thing is Andaniel's attitude towards Yuntai.
Not to mention his tenderness, dependence and joy when seeing Yuntai, they all come from the heart.
Even when he went into the house to boil water, fetch water, listen to Yuntai's instructions like an uncle, and wait for everyone to wipe their faces, wash their hands, and drink tea, they were all so willing.
This kind of meekness and obedience made even her ashamed. She would never let Yuntai suffer any injustice, and only she would suffer the loss.
I have to say that for a down-and-out person like Yuntai, who has been wandering for half his life, to find such a destination when he is old, it is really the virtue of his ancestors, and God will give him such a good blessing.
So out of gratitude, Wang Yunlin quickly took Hong Yanru to help, and kept thanking Da Nier for taking care of her brother over the years.
After just a few words, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law became really close to each other. It was as if they had known each other eight hundred years ago.
The same goes for Zhaoqing who was imprisoned.
After he was released by his father, he was dumbfounded when he saw Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan before he could even greet his elders.
Yuntai knew his feelings very well, so he first told his son that they were actually cousins.
At this time, Zhao Qingna was dumbfounded. It was so unbelievable.
It took him a long time to react and let out a sigh of relief.
"Now I believe what it means to not be a family and not to be part of the same family."
Hong Yanwu winked on purpose, "Cousin, I have sent you eggs so many times, but I didn't treat you to a meal, but you are neglecting me..."
One sentence made everyone laugh.
At this time, Zhaoqing kowtows to each of the elders respectively.
In terms of titles, the other people were normal. Only Zhaoqing did not call Wang Yunlin "aunt", but directly called her "aunt", which made her stunned.
Because this is a unique way of addressing the Banner family, the Banner people often masculine the names of the elder women in the family to show respect, just as Guangxu called Cixi "her father".
And soon Wang Yunlin thought that this was probably because Yuntai often talked about your aunt's father in front of his son, so he naturally called him "aunt's father".
Sure enough, Zhaoqing later said that his father missed his "aunt" almost every Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Eve. He had told him about "aunt" all the time since he was a child.
He knew that his "aunt" was well-read and was a talented girl from "Beiman Girls' High School".
He also knew that his "aunt" Cheng Pai Qingyi also sang extremely well and was fully qualified to sing on stage.
Whenever relatives and friends come to the house, they will never leave without hearing "aunt" singing the "Spring and Autumn Pavilion" part of "Suo Scale Bag"...
These words immediately brought Wang Yunlin to tears. Yuntai was also in tears.
And when Hong Yanwu curled his lips and muttered, "Hey, Mom, why don't you even know about these things?" everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Yes, after decades of separation between brothers and sisters, with little news, who can not be concerned and miss them?
It can be seen from this that these two brothers and sisters have spent so many years thinking about it day and night.
Reunion, this is truly a reunion!
However, just when the Yuntai family was at its warmest and most harmonious, something earth-shaking happened to Secretary An's family.
An Yangyang, the eldest nephew of Secretary An, saw the scene of Yuntai and others returning to the village. He didn't understand what was going on, so he hurried to Secretary An's house to report the news.
And because the tricycle was carrying household items, there was also Hong Yanru, a fifteen-year-old girl. This boy was so whimsical that he told the An family purely speculatively that Yuntai was probably planning to make arrangements for his son so that Zhaoqing could go to the city to study.
After getting married, it was just a matter of bringing bride price and bringing people to the wedding. They even gave out wedding candies to the children in the village.
Secretary An felt safe upon hearing this, because even so, it was within the acceptable range for him.
But An Xiaoqin was different. She was anxious at that time, and her eyes were filled with tears that were about to flow down.
But then, the words she wanted to ask had not yet been spoken. A worse situation occurred, and she didn't know what happened, but she suddenly felt nauseous.
Then he covered his mouth and ran outside, and he vomited uncontrollably. He lay in the corner for several minutes, and it was really a good vomiting session before he was done.
At this time, not only Xiaoqin's mother who was chasing her changed her color, but Secretary An in the room also turned green.
He slapped the table on the spot and gritted his teeth.
"Zhaoqing, that bastard, did it after all!"
From now on, Secretary An’s family will naturally have no peace of mind.
As soon as Xiaoqin's mother and her daughter entered the door, Secretary An immediately scolded Xiaoqin and asked her to kneel down.
"You, you have brought shame on our family. You, tell me, what do you mean by this? As a big girl, it doesn't matter if you are shameless. If you don't want to think about where to put your parents' faces,
?”
Xiaoqin knelt on the ground, feeling ashamed and scared. She kept crying and couldn't say a word.
But the more this happened, the angrier Secretary An became.
"In all these years, I have never been so angry. I always think that the daughter of our family is the most obedient and more sensible than other people's daughters. But what happened? Other people's daughters did not cause trouble, so you are better off.
.You poked a big hole in the sky..."
At this point, An Yangyang also understood, and kept trying to persuade Secretary Teng An.
"This, this is too immoral. Uncle, we have to go find them!"
Only Xiaoqin's mother was calm, but she was afraid that things would get too big, which would not be good for anyone. So she advised, "Okay, keep your voice down. You're afraid of embarrassing yourself by making such nonsense. If you don't want others to know, you might as well
You can just go to the brigade headquarters and shout with a big loudspeaker. Besides, you have to wait until you understand it before speaking. It is true. Since this matter has already come out, what is the use of shouting like this? If you can suppress it, it is best to suppress it first.
ah……"
Secretary Ke'an was furious at this time and completely lost his mind.
I said, "What the hell! They're going to marry someone else over there, and I can't swallow this breath!"
After saying that, he grabbed Xiao Qin who was on the ground and hurriedly went out with his nephew.
Naturally, Xiaoqin's mother couldn't just sit and wait, so she had no choice but to chase after him.
