Chapter 1551 Sending Letter

Mentioning old things, Chen Kang's eyes filled with water, he gritted his teeth tightly to prevent himself from swallowing loudly.

Zhou Wei understood his wife's mood and gently patted his shoulder and back: "It's okay, it's all over..."

Chen's big-faced sister-in-law He was originally a little confused because the old uncle and aunt of the Chen family suddenly returned to their hometown. Seeing the appearance of the elderly couple, they even looked like two-foot-twenties - they were confused and couldn't figure out what was 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. When people left, my dad settled in a factory in another county.

My father and my mother established a relationship a year and a half after they settled in another county. Since my grandfather was approved to be transferred back to his hometown to work, my grandfather was going back to his hometown in southern Hunan. By the way, he took my father and mother back to his hometown to discuss marriage matters with family members. I My father and mother got married in my grandfather's hometown. My grandfather also has three sons. My father is not a live-in son-in-law.

When my dad was working in a factory in another county, he wrote to my aunt every month. At first, he and my aunt were in constant contact. One month before my dad left for Shonan, he didn’t receive a reply. My dad wanted to come back to his hometown for a visit. You see, my grandfather was in a hurry due to work reasons at that time, so he went to Shonan first before returning to his hometown.

Before my father went to Shonan, he also wrote to my eldest aunt telling me where he was going. After he arrived in Shonan, he also wrote a letter telling me his wedding date and current address. However, there was no reply to the letter he sent. It was hard for my father to resolve the work matter. , people have been in southern Hunan for eight or nine months.

My dad couldn't wait for the letter from home, but he received a letter sent to his hometown that was returned, showing that the person was not found.

My dad was worried about my aunt and wanted to go back to his hometown to visit. At that time, my dad and mom’s weddings were imminent. My grandpa asked my dad to get married and then take my mom back to her hometown to pay homage to the ancestors of the Chen family.

After my parents got married, they didn't have time to get up and go back to their hometown. They actually received a letter from a fellow villager in their hometown, saying that my aunt...she had a dystocia in the first year of her life, and she couldn't even keep her baby. She was already dead.

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, why don't you confirm the authenticity of the content in the letter? You don't even confirm whether it is true, so you just... believe it?" Believing without confirming is not empty-headed?

"If it is a letter written by someone else, my dad may not believe it, but the person who wrote the letter is... the Chen family." Chen Xin smiled helplessly: "My dad wrote to my aunt but there was no reply, but he wrote to fellow Chen family members. I wrote to ask about the situation. Who would have thought that the reply from my family member surnamed Chen was actually a lie? ”

"Which bastard in the Chen family deceived Uncle Chen Kang?" Chen Dalian originally couldn't figure out why Uncle Chen Kang was so easily fooled, but he understood after hearing that the letter was written by the Chen family. If it were him, he would have accepted it He would also believe it when family members wrote letters saying that someone was missing.

"Well, little brother, it's better not to ask that person. If you know who it is, you won't have to embarrass everyone." Chen Xin begged embarrassedly.

The clan brother looked troubled, but Chen Dalian did not pursue him and asked: "Okay, let's not ask who that bastard is for now, then, why did the old uncle suddenly come back to his hometown again?"

"Well," 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 an opportunity came up at the end of October last year to reveal the truth about being deceived, which aroused some suspicions. , this opportunity came about because of this boy in 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 a little sports star from his own country in a magazine, and found that the girl’s appearance was somewhat similar to his aunt, my sister. He paid more attention at that time, and when he introduced the little star’s family members, I found out that there was a 'Chen Hongying' who had the same name as the aunt his grandfather told me about. The little star was from Jiudao Township in E Bei, the same place where his aunt and his grandfather came from. I thought it was amazing and gave the magazine to his grandfather. Look at the strangeness,

There is only one family with the surname Le in my father's hometown. The Le family has a simple population. The magazine clearly states who the little star's father is, who his grandparents are, and the year his grandparents died.

The situation in my aunt's family reported in the magazine is completely inconsistent with what my dad said in the letter he received from the person named Chen. Then, Brother Li can imagine how shocked my dad was when he saw it.

My dad couldn’t believe it at the time. He was alone for a few days before telling us brothers and sisters. Even our brothers and sisters were scared at that time. We brothers and sisters had heard my dad tell us about my eldest aunt since we were young, so we thought that the childbirth would be long gone. My eldest aunt seemed to be alive, and we all suspected that there was something wrong with our ears.

In order to verify the authenticity, I asked the WeChat agency to help me check. The information I received from the WeChat agency confirmed that what was reported in the sports magazine was true. I couldn't escape because of my work. To be sure, I asked my brother to take a few days off when he was on a business trip to a neighboring province. I made a special detour to Province E and visited Jiudao in person to confirm its authenticity.

My brother confirmed that my aunt actually passed away a few years ago. My dad felt ashamed of his sister and her children. Because of his avoidance, he missed the truth all his life. Since the end of October last year, my dad has not had a good night's sleep. My dad was homesick and timid, and he was also afraid of homesickness. He actually didn’t have the courage to come back because he was afraid that people would say he was shameless in getting married to his nephew’s child because he 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 those above and not as good as below. There is no need to go back to our hometown to catch the autumn wind. My dad most wants to be with the big family. My aunt said I'm sorry, and we also want to say sorry to my aunt's cousin. If we knew that our eldest aunt was still alive, why would we not have set foot in 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 locked wooden box on the table.

The son was explaining to himself the reasons why he was deceived and did not dare to return to his hometown and came back again. Chen Kang lowered his head and felt so guilty that he wanted to dig into the ground. If he had not been so timid back then, he would have come back quietly to have a look. .

The person who lied to him had a terrible heart, and he had to bear half of the responsibility. If he hadn't been timid, he wouldn't have been kept in the dark for decades, causing him to miss out when he could have supported and weathered the storm with his sister.

Chen Kang felt sour in his heart and his eyes sparkled.

Zhou Wei didn't say anything, and quietly handed the tissue to her wife. She understood her husband's suffering. For decades, her wife had always been worried about the fact that she didn't go back to her hometown to see her sister before going to southern Hunan, so that the world and the world were separated forever. Even his father had to take care of Chen. Kang returned to southern Hunan, causing his sister and brother to never see each other again. He felt guilty, and even died with a grudge in his heart.

The adults were talking, but he was a child who couldn't talk to him. Chen Fengnian listened quietly. He was told that it was because he liked sports magazines that his grandfather found out the truth about being cheated. He was a little shy at first. He actually thought that a certain girl was tall. You have to look a bit like your aunt to pay more attention to her.

Sister-in-law He paid attention to the wooden box. There was nothing flashy about the box, but the area around the lock and the edges of the box were polished, which showed that the owner opened the box frequently.

Chen Kang almost shed tears when he saw his son holding the wooden box. He was reluctant to throw away the letter he wrote to his sister when it was returned. He kept it with his sister's reply to him. Whenever he misses his sister and his hometown, Take it out and take a look.

The letter from his sister to him and the letter he wrote to her that were returned, accompanied him through decades of ups and downs. He originally decided to take it with him to sleep with him when he left, but he didn't expect that one day it would reappear in front of others.

Chen Kang turned his face away, not daring to think 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 Yueqing's house 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 good friends 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..."< br>


Chen Xin understood instantly: "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 give this box to my cousin Yueqing. As for my cousin We have no complaints after seeing how it will be done.”

"Big face, you go ahead first. My uncle and my nephew have come back from such a long way and are tired of riding in the car. I'll give my uncle something to eat first." Sister-in-law He winked at the man and urged him to rush to deliver a message to the Le family.

"Okay, I'll go there first." Chen Dalian also felt that it would be better for him to go to Lejia first to see 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.
