Chapter 32 Past Events
Shen Siyuan originally thought that the generation gap mentioned by Shen Jianjun and his wife was just an age gap.
But I didn't expect that it was much more than that.
It turns out that one of Yu Youcai's comrades died on the battlefield, and he entrusted his wife and daughter to him before his death.
The two of them are from the same hometown, and Big Brother takes great care of him, so Yu Youcai is obligated to do so, both emotionally and rationally.
When he came back from the army, he kept his promise and was respectful and caring to Big Brother's wife and daughter.
Because of the big brother friendship, the two families have frequent contacts.
At that time, people were relatively simple and their feelings were sincere.
"Well, it's not like that comrade's widow fell in love with my uncle, right? That's nothing, right?"
A widower and a widow are a match made in heaven.
"It's not a widow, it's the daughter of his comrade-in-arms, who has fallen in love with your uncle and grandfather." Huang Sujuan, the mother, said.
Shen Siyuan was a little surprised when he heard this. According to his estimation, the age difference between the two of his uncle's comrades should be about ten or twenty years. The age difference between the comrade's daughters and their comrades is probably more than ten or twenty years.
But Shen Jianjun said: "His comrade-in-arms was older. When he died, his daughter was already thirteen or fourteen years old. When your aunt and uncle passed away, she was already a grown-up girl."
"In this way, it doesn't seem to matter if my uncle really wants to marry her. Although it may be a bit unpleasant to say it out loud, it is good that the two of them are happy."
"Who says it isn't? I think so too. Your uncle just worries too much."
My mother's face was full of excitement when she heard this. The reason why she was so happy was simply because she felt that Shen Shenyuan was on her side.
Hearing this, Shen Jianjun shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. The situation in those days was more complicated. In addition, your uncle and grandfather were not just comrades in arms. If your uncle and grandfather really married someone else's girl, how could he see those comrades again? And there are definitely many people who will gossip.”
"Just say it, uncle himself is not brave enough."
My mother disagrees with this very much. Since both parties have friendship with each other, they have to overcome all difficulties and be timid. Why do they still like each other?
"People have passed away, what's the use of talking about it now."
Shen Jianjun sighed helplessly, feeling sorry for his uncle and grandfather's life.
"Um...what happened to grandma?"
Shen Siyuan didn't know what to call her, thinking that the other person should be about the same age as his grandma now, so it would be most appropriate to call her grandma.
"Later? Then I got married and had children."
Mom said, with a hint of dissatisfaction unconsciously in her tone. After all, her uncle and uncle made a big fuss because of her, and he never remarried, but he married and had children and lived a happy life.
"We haven't had any contact since then? Are you still alive now?" Shen Shen Yuanzhui asked.
He felt that this was probably the reason why his uncle was still wandering around the world.
"That's not clear, but when your uncle passed away, she came to express condolences."
"Why don't I remember?"
"You were young at that time and there were so many people here. How could you notice?"
Having said that, Shen Siyuan had nothing to ask any more, so he took his uncle's belongings and returned to his room on the second floor.
"Why did he suddenly become interested in his uncle's affairs?"
Seeing him going upstairs, Huang Huijuan asked Shen Jianjun beside her suspiciously.
Shen Jianjun shook his head and said: "How do I know? Maybe it's just seeing things and missing people."
"I don't think so, and you haven't noticed that Siyuan's return this time is a little different from before."
"It's different? What's different?" "I can't tell you, but it just feels a little different." Huang Huijuan whispered.
"Is that good or bad?"
"It should be considered good." Huang Huijuan thought for a while and said.
When Shen Siyuan came back this time, his eyes were bright, which meant that he was full of energy and had an increased appetite, which meant that he was strong and strong. These should be good things.
"In that case, why are you thinking so much? Go back to your room and sleep."
Shen Jianjun took her upstairs to her room.
Naturally, Shen Shenyuan didn't know that his parents were talking about him. He returned to his room, took out the envelopes in the iron box and looked through them one by one.
I have to say that people at that time may not have a high level of education, but their handwriting was really beautiful.
Even if it's a little bit off, it's still one stroke after another, and the handwriting is clear. It's obvious that the letter was written with great care.
Think about yourself again. I have used the computer so much that I have almost forgotten how to write. When I pick up the pen, the writing in one hand is like a turtle crawling. I have forgotten how to control the strength of the pen.
Most of them are letters exchanged with comrades-in-arms, and the content is about trivial matters between parents. Some ask about how work is, some ask about this year's harvest, some ask if the wife and children are in good health, etc. They all express some feelings of longing for each other.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
These letters, Shen Siyuan basically glanced at them in one glance, so he read them very quickly.
It wasn't until I saw a letter with beautiful handwriting that I stopped and read it carefully.
The person who wrote the letter is named Qiaozhen. As for her last name, it is unknown because there is only the word Qiaozhen at the end of the letter.
Shen Siyuan picked out all the letters with the same handwriting and read them one by one.
In the letter, she calls her uncle and grandpa Brother Yu. The entire letter is filled with trivial matters of daily life, but when read, one can feel a young girl's longing and longing for life.
But as time went by, the content of the letter changed from trivial matters in daily life to concern about the life of my uncle and grandfather, asking him to pay attention to his health and not to bring too many things when he came to visit her and her mother next time. The friendship comes alive on the page.
From then on, she became more straightforward and direct. She told her uncle that she had sincere feelings for him and was not afraid of other people's gossip. She also hoped that her uncle could cherish her feelings and work hand in hand with her to build a future together... …
I don’t know how my uncle and grandpa replied to her letters. The last letter, the letter paper was obviously soaked with tears.
The letter said that an acquaintance introduced her to a young man from Guangda Village. He was very nice and honest, and he was also the production team leader of the village...
The letter was full of praise for the young man, but a feeling of heartbreak could be read between the lines.
After Shen Siyuan read through all the letters from beginning to end, he had only one feeling: he hated him and wanted to jump up and beat him up.
How could such a good girl be lost?
In addition, he also read between the lines that Miss Qiaozhen must have read books. Not only was the writing beautiful, the content of the letter was clear and the words and sentences were used to make people feel comfortable reading.
It can be seen from this that she must have a good background, but in that era, a good background was not a good thing.
But the past is gone. Shen Siyuan put the letters back together, took a change of clothes to the bathroom, and took a cold shower.
Although it was night and the sun was gone, the air was still hot and dry, which made people feel depressed and uncomfortable.
When I came out of the bathroom, I picked up my phone and found that it had received a WeChat message at some point. I picked it up and saw that it was from Jiang Tingyu.
"Are you asleep? What are you doing?"
Shen Siyuan looked at this WeChat message with a look of embarrassment.
No, is this girl really going to treat him like a fish?
Since you said you don't want to fall in love now, are you still posting these things to make him talk about it?
But since he had nothing to do, Shen Siyuan decided to play with her. It was not yet certain who would catch whom.
As long as he doesn't lose his temper, there is no way he will lose.
