Chapter 1544: When Chen Kang sent a letter
and mentioned old things, there was water in Chen Kang's eyes, and he gritted his teeth tightly to prevent himself from swallowing loudly.
Zhou Wei understood his wife's mood and patted her shoulder gently: "It's okay, it's all over..." Mr.
Chen's big face and He's sister-in-law were originally a little confused because of the sudden return of the Chen family's uncle and aunt to their hometown. Looking at the appearance of an elderly couple, they are even more like two-foot-tall kings - they are confused and can't figure out what is going on with the two old people.
"It's a long story, so I'll explain it briefly." It was impossible for the old father to explain clearly, so Chen Xin answered for him: "My father went to work in a factory in another county. In those days, people could just follow the rules. When people left, my father settled in a factory in another county.
A year and a half after my father settled in another county, he and my mother established a relationship. Since my grandfather was approved to be transferred back to his hometown to work, my grandfather wanted to return to his hometown in Shonan. I asked my father and mother to go back to their hometown to discuss marriage matters with family members. My father and mother got married in my grandfather’s hometown. My grandfather also has three sons. My father is not a son-in-law. When my father was working in a factory in another county, he received monthly allowances
. My eldest aunt wrote letters, and she was in constant contact with her at first. She didn’t receive a reply a month before my dad went to Shonan. My dad wanted to go back to his hometown for a visit. At that time, my grandfather was away due to work. I was anxious, so I went to Shonan first before I could go back to my hometown.
Before going to Shonan, my father also wrote to my eldest aunt telling me where he was going. After arriving in Shonan, he also wrote back telling me the wedding date and current address, but the letters he sent were always There was no reply. It was eight or nine months since my dad finally settled his work matters and had been in Shonan for eight or nine months.
My dad couldn't wait for the letter from home, but he received a letter that was sent to his hometown and was returned. It showed that there was no such thing. My father
was worried about my aunt and wanted to go back to his hometown. At that time, my father and mother’s weddings were also imminent. My grandfather asked my father to get married and then take my mother back to his hometown to pay homage to the ancestors of the Chen family. My
father After my mother got married, she didn't have time to get up and go back to her hometown. She actually received a letter from a fellow villager in her hometown, saying that my aunt... she had difficulty giving birth in the first year of her life.
My dad collapsed at that time. What made my dad even more collapsed was that the letter also said that my uncle had married another daughter-in-law half a year after my aunt had a difficult delivery and was already pregnant with a child.
Little brother, you may have heard about the deep relationship between my father and my aunt, my brother and sister. After my father and I passed away, my father and my aunt and my brother and I depended on each other for life. My father heard that his own sister was dead. The sky was falling, and I heard that my uncle had remarried. My father blamed himself for not being able to return to his hometown in time, so that he was separated from his sister forever. He was so sad and painful, how could he still have the courage to go back to his hometown? After that, he never mentioned anything about his hometown again.
However, no one thought that the letter my dad received saying that my aunt was in danger of having a difficult childbirth and that my uncle had remarried was false. My dad had been deceived for decades, even though he had been to Changchun several times. The city is so close to my hometown that I don’t have the courage to go back and take a look. Sister-in-law He was confused: "
Uncle, won't you confirm the authenticity of the content in the letter?" You didn't even confirm whether it was true or not, so you just... believed it? "Believing it without confirming it is nothing but empty-headedness?
"If it were a letter written by someone else, my dad might not necessarily believe it, but the person who wrote the letter is... the Chen family. "Chen Xin smiled helplessly: "My dad wrote to my aunt but got no reply. He also wrote to fellow Chen family members to ask about the situation. Who would have thought that the reply from the Chen family member would be a lie.
"Which bastard in the Chen family deceived Uncle Chen Kang? " "Chen Dalian couldn't figure out why Uncle Chen Kang was so easily deceived. He heard that the letter was written by the Chen family and he understood. If it were him, if he received a letter from his family saying that someone was missing, he would I believe it too.
"Well, little brother, it's better not to ask that person. If you know who it is, you don't have to embarrass everyone. "Chen Xin begged in embarrassment.
The clan brother looked embarrassed, but Chen Dalian did not pursue him and asked: "Okay, let's not ask who that bastard is for the moment. Then, why did the old uncle suddenly come back to his hometown again? "
This," the Chen brothers became even more embarrassed. Chen Jie sighed: "Let me tell you this. The reason why my dad suddenly returned to his hometown was because there was an opportunity to reveal the truth about being deceived at the end of October last year, which resulted in some... I suspect that this opportunity came about thanks to this kid from my family. "
He pointed at the child he brought back to his hometown: "This kid likes basketball and also likes to buy sports magazines. He collected several sports magazines last year, and one of them introduced my aunt's granddaughter. This kid saw the
magazine There was a little sports star from my own country on the Internet. I found that the girl's appearance was somewhat similar to his aunt, my sister. I paid more attention at that time. When I introduced the little star's family members, I also discovered that there was "Chen Hongying". ', the name of his aunt is the same as that of his grandfather. The little star is from Jiudao Township in the north of E. He is from the same place as his aunt and his grandfather's hometown. He thought it was amazing and took the magazine to show to his grandfather. It was strange that my
dad There is only one family with the surname Le in my hometown, and the Le family has a simple population. The magazine clearly stated who the little star’s father was, who his grandparents were, and when he died. The magazine reported on the situation of
my aunt’s family and my father’s. What I received in the letter from the person surnamed Chen was completely inconsistent with what I said. Then, Brother Li could imagine how shocked my dad was when he saw it.
My dad couldn't believe it at the time, and he was alone for several days before telling us brothers and sisters. , even our siblings were frightened at that time. We heard my dad tell us about our eldest aunt since we were little. We thought that our eldest aunt, who had died in childbirth long ago, seemed to be alive. We all suspected that there was something wrong with our ears. In order to check whether it was true or not
. , I asked the WeChat agency to help with the investigation, and received information from the WeChat agency that confirmed that what was reported in the sports magazine was true. I couldn’t get away due to work. To be sure, my brother took a few days off when he was on a business trip to a neighboring province and deliberately took a detour. Province, he personally visited Jiudao to confirm the authenticity.
My brother confirmed that my aunt actually passed away a few years ago. My father felt ashamed of his sister and her children. Because of his evasion, he missed the truth all his life and was beaten ten years ago. After the end of the month, my dad didn't get a good night's sleep. He was homesick and afraid of homesickness. He actually didn't have the courage to come back because he was afraid that people would say he was shameless to get married because his nephew's child was prosperous. This
time It was our brothers who persuaded my dad to come back to his hometown for a walk. We brothers and sisters all have their own jobs. We are neither rich nor too bad. We are better than the top but not enough than the bottom. There is no need to go back to our hometown to catch the autumn wind. My dad wants to tell my aunt the most. We also want to say sorry to my aunt's cousin. If we knew that our aunt was still alive, why would we not have set foot on our hometown for decades?
By the way, I have always kept the letter my dad wrote to my aunt, and the letter my aunt wrote to my dad. We also brought them back this time. "
When Chen Jie mentioned the letter, he immediately stood up and dragged the password box to his side, unlocked the combination lock, opened the lid, and placed a rectangular wooden box with a lock on the table. The son was explaining to himself that he was deceived and did not dare to return to his hometown and came back again
. Because of this, Chen Kang lowered his head and felt so guilty that he wanted to dig into the ground. If he hadn't been so timid back then, he would have come back quietly to have a look. The
person who lied to him has a terrible heart, and he must bear half of the responsibility. , if he was not timid, he would not have been kept in the dark for decades, causing him to miss out on the fact that he could support and tide over the storm with his sister. Chen Kang felt bitter and his eyes sparkled.
Zhou
Wei said nothing and quietly handed over She gave the tissue to her wife. She understands his pain. For decades, his wife has always been regretting the fact that he did not go back to his hometown to see his sister before going to Shonan. As a result, we are separated forever. Even his father brought Chen Kang back to Shonan, which led to the death of their siblings. He felt guilty for not being able to see each other again, and he still held it in his heart until his death.
The adults were talking, but he, a child, couldn't talk to him. Chen Fengnian listened quietly. It was said that it was because he liked sports magazines that his grandfather discovered the truth about being cheated. , a little shy, he actually paid more attention to a certain girl because he thought she looked a bit like his aunt.
Sister-in-law He paid attention to the wooden box. There was nothing shiny about the box, but the area around the lock and the edge of the box were polished. , it can be seen that the owner often opens the box.
When Chen Kang saw his son holding the wooden box, his eyes almost shed tears again. The letter he wrote to his sister was not willing to throw it away when it was returned, so he kept it with the reply letter written by his sister to him. , he would take it out and read it whenever he missed
his sister or his hometown. The letters his sister wrote to him and the letters he wrote to her that were returned, accompanied him through decades of ups and downs. He originally took them with him when he decided to leave. It slept with him forever, but he didn't expect that one day it would reappear in front of people.
Chen Kang turned his face away, not daring to think about it any more.
Uncle Chen Kang still keeps the letter from that year, which shows that he really has not forgotten his sister. Because of the deep love between sister and brother, he is reluctant to throw away the letter. He also understands that Uncle Chen Kang and his sons want to go to the Yueqing family most, and finally What I want to see is Yueqing.
However, he couldn't make the decision, so he thought for a while before speaking: "Actually, my buddy and I made an appointment to go to Yueqing's house for dinner today. Before you guys came, my wife and I packed our things and were about to go there..."
Chen Xin Miao understood: "Brother Li, you and your sister-in-law should lock all the doors in your house and take your niece over there quickly. We will warm up by the fire in the main room of your house. I just ask you to hand this box over to my cousin Yueqing. As for my cousin, see We have no complaints about what we will do."
"Big face, you go ahead first. My uncle and my nephew are tired from the car after coming so far. I'll give my uncle something to eat first." Sister-in-law He winked at the man, Urging him to rush to send a message to Lejia.
"Okay, I'll go there first." Chen Dalian also felt that it would be better for him to go to Lejia first to check the situation before talking about anything else. He left as soon as he said it, first went to pick up a new year's gift, and then picked up a red plastic bag to pack the wooden box. Heading to Lejia in a hurry.
Chen Kang wiped his eyes quietly and sat drinking tea.
Sister-in-law He went to the side room to make pancakes, a local snack. Her two girls helped light the fire and find condiments.
Zhou Wei asked her son to pick out the gift box for her nephew's house. She took it to her nephew's wife. She found that the wing was warm and comfortable, so she asked her wife to go to the kitchen with her son and grandson to warm up by the fire.
Chen Kang took his son and grandson to turn off the electric heater and go to the Chen family's private room to watch the food being cooked.
