Chapter 1548 Can’t Get Together (2 more updates

Le’s father Zhou Qiufeng was initially at a loss because of his uncle’s sudden return. Once he psychologically accepted the existence of his uncle as an elder, there was no pressure at all. The young couple were busy preparing dishes. They also took out several of their girls to help re-steam the medicinal food stored at home in a steamer.

The couple was busy for an hour, preparing all the dishes, and officially set the table for dinner at 11:30, with local chicken Stew the mushrooms as the base of the hot pot, put a rack in the pot and put other dishes in bowls.

There are dozens of guests in my family, so they squeeze in and sit at four tables.

The guests of honor gathered together, drinking wine made from sweet potatoes by rural residents, eating home-grown vegetables, and meat dishes including home-grown pigs, chickens and ducks, a strong local flavor.

Chen Kang, who had been away from his hometown for more than 40 years, finally ate the local specialties of his hometown, and his eyes became moist again. Before finishing the chicken soup hot pot, he had wiped his eyes several times.

Liu Lu and others enjoyed the meal The happiest thing was seeing Xiao Lele’s medicated meal on the table. Their noses were also trained, and they could tell which dish was Xiao Lele’s medicated meal by smelling the aroma.

Chen Kangzhou Chen Jie has also eaten delicacies from mountains and seas, including the whole diet of Manchu and Han Dynasties, and his mouth is very tricky. After eating a few medicinal dishes, his stomach was completely subdued.

This meal, Chen Kang's family The five of us ate happily, and the Liu family, the Cheng family, and the Zhang family in the same village were all satisfied with their meal. Lan Sanyan didn’t want to talk about it. They were thinking about the medicinal diet made by the little Loli even before they left the capital.
< br />The two handsome guys were also very diligent. After the meal, they helped put away the table and tableware and rushed to wash the dishes. The handsome boy was also very witty. He fetched face wash and asked Leshan to bring towels to Uncle Chen’s grandparents and cousin. The uncles washed their faces.

When I went to my nephew’s house for the first time, my nephew and grandnephew gave me face wash. Chen Kang and Zhouwei were very excited. According to the custom in his hometown in Hunan Province, A red envelope was given to the child who was giving face wash.

Chen Xin and Chen Jie also gave a red envelope according to the custom of their hometown. Chen Fengnian did not need to give it, he was still a child.

Beautiful boy pair The guests are all treated equally, and older guests such as Cheng Wu are also given face wash and hands cleansing. After the guests wash their faces and hands, they serve tea and dried fruits and melon seeds.

Cheng Wu, Zhang Lao San, Liu Laishun Chen Big Face and others also knew that Chen Kang's family was returning to their hometown for the first time and had a lot to say to Yueqing. They sat there for more than an hour to say goodbye to their master and return to their own home. The old people wanted to chat, so they could wait a day or two to meet again. Not too late.

Chen Dalian and He’s sister-in-law took the girl home and first opened the fire in the fire pit, lit it, and then opened the red envelopes and New Year gifts given by Chen Kang’s uncles.

If you don’t know it, you will be shocked when you see it. Chen Kang’s uncle and aunt gave them a red envelope of 10,000 yuan for their meeting, and gave it to the child.Their red envelopes are three thousand six hundred and sixty six each, and the red envelopes given to their children by brothers from both clans are two thousand sixty six.

The New Year's greetings are not ordinary things. There are two kilograms of bamboo bird's nests, a package of bird's nests, a box of old Codonopsis pilosula, and a box of donkey-hide gelatin. They are entrusted by the girls from the Le family. They have seen the world. From the appearance of the things, I recognized them as bamboo bird's nests and bird's nests.

There aren’t many things, but they are all valuable.

The two little sisters of the Chen family were very happy. They handed over half of the red envelope money to their parents and kept the other half as pocket money. However, Chen’s big-faced sister-in-law and his wife looked at the gifts and were very worried. The greeting gifts given by uncles are so heavy, what kind of gifts should they give in return?

They were thinking about what gifts to give in return when they heard someone shouting "Chen Li" outside. Chen Dalian heard that it was his father who was coming, so he responded and quickly hid the bamboo bird's nest and bird's nest. His father is the kind of person who can't carry things clearly, and his mind is always on the horizon. Whenever there are any good things in his family, he will catch the wind and get a piece from them to go back and enjoy with the boss and his family.

As soon as Chen Dalian finished his things, Chen Wu, who was wearing a red down jacket, walked to the door of the kitchen with his hands folded and walked in with a big step, looking around quickly with his eyes.

In the middle of the morning, he heard someone say that a visitor from afar had come to Chen Li’s house. It looked like he was a very wealthy guest. He went to Chen Li’s house but didn’t meet him. He didn’t know where he went to eat. Wait until now. Just wait for people.

I glanced around and saw a box next to my son and daughter-in-law. I guessed they were looking at New Year’s gifts. I pretended to be casual and walked closer to look at it. I asked, “I heard that there are visitors from far away at your home. Are you a brother from your in-laws' family? Why haven't you seen the guests?"

Chen Dalian dragged a table for his father to sit on, and then asked: "Dad, what do you want from me? My family is here today. There are guests from far away, not from the child’s mother, but from our Chen family, who have already gone to Lejia.”

Chen Wu sat down and heard that he was not a relative of the He family. , I had already made a small calculation in my mind, thinking about how to take back the box of something that looked like ginseng. When I heard that the guests were going to Lejia, I felt strange and couldn't help but ask: "Why did our guests from the Chen family go there?" The Le family?"

"Although they are relatives of our Chen family, they are too far away from our original family, and they are closer to the Le family than to us," Chen Dalian said truthfully: " Dad, you should also remember that person. He is the brother of our Chen family’s Aunt Chen Hongying, and Uncle Chen Kang from Uncle Chen Dazhuang’s family."

"Chen Hongying...brother?!" Chen Wu originally said He stared at the gift box that looked like ginseng. When he heard that he was Chen Hongying's biological brother, he jumped up like a spring under his butt, and his eyes widened: "You said... Chen Chenkang is back?"

"Yes, Uncle Chen Kang is back, and he brought his wife, son and grandson with him," Chen Dalian couldn't understand why his father was so shocked, so he explained naturally: "I don't know if any of the Chen family's murderers did something immoral, and actually wrote to Uncle Chen Kang to lie to him about the Chen family's aunt Chen Hongying having a difficult delivery. No, he also lied to others that his father in Yueqing had married another wife. Uncle Chen Kang believed it and was so sad that he didn't go back to his hometown to visit relatives for decades. "

"You...how do you know...who wrote the letter to deceive Chen Kang? "Chen Wu's face changed and he stuttered when he spoke.

"Uncle Chen Kang brought all the letters back and gave them to the Le family. Xiao Lele's brother could see the letter in person. At that time, Liu and I Lu and the others are all here, not to mention that Brother Lele is very angry. We all want to catch the wicked guy who wrote the letter and break his hand. He does such wicked things. He is not afraid that no one will die. ”

Mr. Chen wanted to come back and get angry. Which bastard in the Chen family did something so heartless that it disgraced the old Chen family. Fortunately, the younger brother of the Chao family did not write about it. If the believer had told him, otherwise, he would have been embarrassed to death.

"It's true... it's a bit... over. I just came over to see who it was, so I went back. "After receiving unexpected news, Chen Wu didn't even bother to take things from his son's house. He turned around and hurried away.

His father, who loved to pick things out of his own hands and give them to his eldest son, suddenly ran away. Chen Kang looked puzzled and shouted after him: "Dad, you and Uncle Chen Kang should be very familiar with each other. I'm thinking of picking him up for dinner tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Come over and help him." "

"You just eat, don't call me, Chen Kang and I don't get along. We used to fight whenever we met. "Chen Wu ran very fast, running out of the kitchen in three steps and two steps, as if there was a ghost chasing him, and he ran towards his home without stopping.

He was sprinting Running from Chen Dalian's house on the village road, I turned another corner and breathed a sigh of relief when I couldn't see Chen Dalian's house. Without any further delay, I hurried back to my home and decided not to visit other houses again to avoid meeting Chen Kang. .

It was the first time that his eccentric father left without taking anything. Chen Dalian felt strange and did not go into details further. He and his mother-in-law continued to discuss which day to treat Uncle Chen Kang to dinner and what to give him. My uncle took me to Shonan.

Le’s father, Zhou Qiufeng, saw off the guests from the same village and went to make the beds when he was free. Originally, he wanted to invite his uncle’s family to live in the new building, but their uncle was not happy. , he wanted to live in an old house with traces of his sister, and the young couple did not insist on it. They arranged for the old uncle to live in a room opposite the refrigerator room, and the two cousins ​​​​and the children naturally arranged to live in the south building.

Chen Xin and Chen Jie were relieved when their cousin recognized their uncle's family. They had no objections about where to live. Chen Kang was happy because his nephew didn't drive him away and kept him here. Not to mention how happy he was. I walked around the room and especially liked the straw bed.

After arranging accommodation, Chen Xin and Chen Jie gave the New Year’s greetings toCousin, please ask your cousin and his wife to sit down and talk to your parents.

Chen Kang had too much to say. He talked about how he went to a state-owned factory in Han City, how his work was, how he went to Shonan, and what he experienced there. What, when it comes to the sad part, I shed tears several times.

Yi Laoyan, Lao Lan, Sanyan and the beautiful boy were the audience. Xiao Leshan felt sleepy after listening for a while and fell asleep peacefully in the arms of the beautiful brother.

Mr. Yi secretly drank another vat of vinegar. When the boy from the Chao family came, his young disciple would not stick to him. Fortunately, the boy would not live in the Lejia forever, otherwise, he would definitely be angry. I can't eat.

Le’s father believed that his uncle had been deceived and had not wanted to return to the village for decades. There was no barrier between him and his uncle. He really regarded his uncle as his biological uncle. Listening to his uncle’s life experiences, he also felt that I felt the bitterness in it and shed several tears along with it.

Zhou Qiufeng acted as both a listener and a persuader. When someone cried, she would quickly persuade them to do this and that. She would also help them wipe their faces with hot water and wet towels.

The uncles and nephews talked to each other, and it was not until dusk that they roughly finished talking about some important things and completely calmed down.

My uncle’s family was a rare guest, so Zhou Qiufeng killed a local chicken, ate hot pot and medicinal food in the evening, and talked all night with a candle until after eleven o’clock.

After talking with his nephew Che, Chen Kang’s long-standing knots were half resolved, and he slept very soundly at night. He really had no dreams until dawn.

Zhou Wei originally thought that his wife would be so excited that he could not sleep well because he finally returned to his hometown and recognized his nephew. However, he fell asleep not long after he fell asleep, feeling a little confused. Gui Da, she also had a dreamless night and slept very soundly.

Chen Xin slept in a guest room alone, and Chen Jie took his son. When they went to the south building to rest, they discovered that the guest room furniture in the cousin’s new building was all antique, and it felt particularly charming. .

After a night’s rest, Chen Kang felt relatively calm. The next day, Chen Kang took his mother-in-law, son and grandson to the mountains to visit the graves of his son’s grandmother and grandfather. He also wanted to go and lay incense sticks in front of the graves of his sister and brother-in-law.

The snow hasn’t melted yet, but it’s no problem to go to the mountains.

Le’s father, Zhou Qiufeng, accompanied her uncle and his family to pay homage to Chen’s maternal ancestors. They were from rural areas and were used to rain and wind, carrying backpacks containing worship supplies.

The group of people walked slowly and took more than two minutes to climb the mountain to reach the cemetery of Chen Dazhuang and his wife. The cemetery of Chen Kang’s parents is not very far from that of Mr. and Mrs. Lehong. Their graves are higher up. They are about a mile apart and the tombs face different directions.

Although Chen Kang has not been home for decades, Le’s father used to sweep the graves of his grandparents every year. The graves of Chen Dazhuang and his wife were often repaired, so there were no tangled trees or weeds around them.

After not returning home for decades, Chen Kang knelt down in front of his parents’ graves and burned paper. While burning paper, he cried and told his parents that he had a family, had children and grandchildren, and would pass on the incense to his parents.

Zhou Wei also kowtowed to his father-in-law and mother-in-law who had died many years ago. Chen Xin and Chen Jie also kowtowed to their grandparents. This time they also recognized their ancestors and returned to the clan. Chen Feng was younger and kowtowed nine times respectfully. Ring your head.

After visiting the graves of his parents, Chen Kang also paid homage to his grandparents, great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather Zeng. The graves of the ancestors further up the stairs were too far away, so they would not go there for the time being. They would go there again during the Qingming Festival. Worship.

After paying homage to the elders of the Chen family, Chen Kang went to pay homage to his sister. Before he could reach his sister’s grave, he knelt down with a bang and walked ten steps to his sister’s and brother-in-law’s grave. Holding the stone tablet and crying loudly.

His parents died early, and his sister pulled him up like a father and a mother. He has the deepest memory of his sister. He also remembers how much hardship her sister endured to send him to school, how much pressure, ridicule and abuse she endured. , how many tears were shed secretly.

What he is most grateful for is his sister, and the second is his brother-in-law’s family. His parents are outsiders, but they are more kind and righteous than many people in the village. When he and his sister’s parents died, they had nothing at home and were so poor. Even mice don't want to visit, so the old Le family often take care of them secretly and give them food quietly.

At that time, Lejia Lehong was the best-looking young man in the village. He was well-educated and could write and do calculations. He was the favorite of girls in villages all over the country. Many of the richer families went to school. They rushed to ask someone to come to the house for matchmaking, but the two elders of the Le family declined. His brother-in-law's family only liked his sister.

The brother-in-law ignored other people’s rumors, married his sister, and firmly brought him to the Le family. The brother-in-law’s family protected his sister and him from wind and rain, and gave them a warm home. .

The brother-in-law not only took his brother-in-law home, but also supported him in his studies. He had to work during the day and taught him to study at night. He lived in Lejia for four years, and because of his brother-in-law’s guidance, he had the opportunity to stand out. , became a buyer in the brigade, so that he could meet noble people, leave Meicun and go to a state-owned factory to become a worker.

It was precisely because of the kindness of his brother-in-law’s family that he was so painful that he no longer wanted to go back to his hometown when he heard that his sister had died due to childbirth and that his brother-in-law had married another man.

When he heard the news that his brother-in-law had married another man, he did not hate him. He was the only one in his family. When his sister married into the Le family, she did not have any children for several years, and the three Le family members never gave him anything. Looking at the look on his sister's face, he didn't even say a word about his sister. Instead, he was afraid that his sister would get into trouble, so he comforted his sister.

So, when he heard that his sister was gone and that his brother-in-law had remarried, he never complained to his brother-in-law or his family. He did not want to go back to his hometown because he was afraid of hurting his feelings.

Chen Kang has never forgotten the past. Just because he wanted to remember every bit of the past, he missed the opportunity to advance and retreat with his relatives because of his temporary escape.This opportunity makes me feel guilty for half my life.

Holding the tombstone of his sister and brother-in-law, Chen Kang recalled all the things he had done as a young man in his heart. He felt sad from the center and cried harder and harder. He cried and told his sister and brother-in-law about his mistakes.

The old uncle burst into tears again, and no one else could stop him. Le's father was afraid that his uncle would catch cold and fall ill, so he was so worried that he tried to persuade and coax him. It took him a long time to persuade him to heal.

Zhou Wei took the children to kowtow to her aunt and brother-in-law. She also kowtowed in front of the graves of the two elders of the Le family, thanking them for being kind to her husband, for teaching a good young man, and for giving her a good life. good husband.

After the worship, the group went down the mountain to have fun.
