Chapter 1554 Recognition of Relatives
Zhou Wei has known that since he and his wife fell in love when they were young, he only has one sister. His parents died when he was less than ten years old, and his brother and sister have been dependent on each other for many years. It was his sister who pushed him to grow up, and his sister still endured all the pressure. Support him to study.
She always felt that her eldest aunt must be a very kind, upright and tenacious person, so she was able to teach Chen Kang and make her father value Chen Kang who had nothing back then.
I once regretted that I had never met my husband's only sister. Even if I didn't meet my eldest aunt, I was very surprised to find out that my eldest aunt had a daughter. I treated my aunt's only flesh and blood as a nephew.
Now he finally met his nephew and his daughter-in-law. The nephew’s daughter-in-law is also named Zhou. Zhou Wei feels closer to his nephew’s daughter-in-law: “My surname is Zhou, and your surname is Zhou. It’s not that we don’t belong to the same family. We are free. Talk about it again, the ones behind me are your two cousins, the tall one is your eldest cousin Chen Xin, the short one is your youngest cousin Chen Jie, and the little one behind me is Chen Jie’s youngest son.”
Zhou Qiufeng hurriedly called: "Hello, cousin, cousin, nephew, come in and sit down."
The old father held his cousin in his arms and cried until he couldn't help himself. Chen Xin and Chen Jie didn't try to persuade him. He said hello to his cousin's wife first and followed his instructions to go into the house first. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to block the door of the house.
Chen Fengnian respectfully said hello to his cousin and wished him a happy new year.
Seeing that the Chen family's uncle would not be able to calm down for a while, the beautiful boy accompanied the Chen family's cousin, his younger cousin, and Aunt He into the main room of the Le family, and led them to put their belongings in the north back room first.
When Chen Xin and Chen Jie entered the main room of De Le Family, they also took the opportunity to observe the guests in the room. When they saw a certain handsome young man who was dazzlingly handsome, they murmured in their hearts, must that be an officer? Why did he also come to Le Family during the Chinese New Year?
They stored the luggage they had brought, returned to the main room, took out their cigarettes, and greeted the guests at the old cousin's house. They all called the older people "uncle" and "aunt" first, and their peers called them "brother." "sister in law".
The beautiful young man invited the Chen family to sit down and asked Young Master Yan to help pour tea. He cleverly went to the refrigerator room to find a clean basin, took a towel into the kitchen, poured some cold water into the basin and kept it for later use, ready to wait for Uncle Chen's family. Grandpa accepted his sorrow and fetched water to wash his face.
Young Master Yan, who was sent to pour tea, was in a good mood, like an attentive little bee. He poured tea and brought it to the guests from afar on a tray.
Zhou Wei, Chen Xin, and Chen Jie were flattered that a certain military man who was the bodyguard of the Le family girls actually acted as a tea boy for them. This cup of tea was quite heavy!
Chen Fengnian was even more excited. His cousin's bodyguard was so handsome! With such a handsome man serving him tea, he felt like he could brag for several years.
Zhou Qiufeng helped her aunt into the house first. After her two cousins and her aunt greeted the villagers, and a handsome man helped pour tea, she hurried to her uncle and Yueqing.
Le's father was stunned. He could only passively hug his uncle and gently help the elder's back to calm down. Seeing that he couldn't stop crying, he became more and more at a loss: "Uncle, my mother and father often Speaking of you, I haven’t contacted you for many years, and I have never blamed you. I just thought you had some difficulties. My dad wanted to find out about you, but something happened and he had to give up looking for your whereabouts. Uncle, don’t be sad. My mother will be very happy to know that you are still well..."
Chen Kang also knew that he shouldn't be sad, but he couldn't control it. Seeing his nephew with his own eyes, and then thinking that he thought his sister was gone for decades, but his sister and his nephew were suffering in a place that he couldn't see, he felt even more guilty. , and couldn't control the sadness.
She rubbed the back of her nephew's head, and heard that her sister and brother-in-law had never given up trying to find out her whereabouts. The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt, the more she couldn't control herself, and she couldn't stop crying.
Zhou Qiufeng wanted to persuade, but there was no way to do it.
Zhou Wei, who originally sat down, saw that it was not a problem for the uncle and nephew to hug each other and cry, so he had to step in and pull away from his wife: "Old Kang, you miss your nephew every day, and finally you came to my nephew's house, but you kept hugging him like this. It doesn’t matter if you put your nephew’s daughter-in-law aside while your nephew is crying. There are so many old neighbors in your nephew’s house. How can you help yourself if they don’t laugh at you?”
Chen Kang burst into tears and was pulled away. He looked with tearful eyes and saw his nephew's wife and people standing in the main room of his nephew's family standing aside. His face turned red with embarrassment.
The beautiful boy stayed at the door of the kitchen for a short while. When he saw his aunt and uncle going to persuade his uncle and grandfather, he quickly poured hot water and took the basin to wait near the door.
He only stood for a moment, and his aunt and uncle successfully persuaded his uncle and hurriedly twisted the towel, waiting for Chen's uncle and grandfather to wipe his face, and then brought the basin for the old man to wash his face again.
The beautiful young man is not only beautiful, attentive, considerate, and thoughtful, but Chen Xin and Chen Jie are also particularly... shocked. Could this be a girl pretending to be a boy?
Chen Kang washed his face with water and his mind was clear. He took out a small red envelope from his pocket, took the hands of his nephew and his wife, and put the paper envelope in the couple's hands: "This is my mother's breast milk." The only thing left in the dowry given to my sister was the silver dollars of the Republic of China. There were originally twenty-six. After my father left and my mother became ill, my sister took out the dowry and exchanged it for food and money. In the end, only a few silver coins were left.
When I went to work outside, my sister gave me four yuan, which I kept close to her. Originally, I wanted to wait until my sister had children in the future before giving it to my nephews. Later, when I got married, I gave two yuan as a betrothal gift to your aunt. Your aunt passed down the silver dollar to your older cousins. These two pieces are passed on to you today. My sister had no other dowry back then. This is the only thing left by your mother. It will be passed down to Lele and Leshan in the future. ”
Hearing that it was his mother's dowry, Le's father Zhou Qiufeng felt that the red envelope was very hot. He didn't accept it or didn't accept it. The beautiful young man saw the embarrassed look on his fourth uncle and aunt's face and smiled: "Back then, Grandma Le gave the silver dollar to Uncle Chen's grandpa. The love between siblings is deep. Today, my uncle and grandpa passed two yuan to my fourth uncle and my aunt. It is still a continuation of the deep love between sister and brother, as well as the love and care that elders have for their nephews. Please keep it and give it to Lele and Lele. Good practices and thoughts can be passed down from generation to generation, so that future generations can remember the kindness of their ancestors to their descendants. ”
"Okay, let's help Lele and Leshan keep it first." Le's father Zhou Qiufeng did not refuse anymore, and Le's father gave the red envelope to his wife for safekeeping.
After accepting the meeting gift from his uncle, Le's father Zhou Qiufeng helped his uncle and aunt sit down and felt relieved. The beautiful boy taught them how to collect red envelopes, which showed that it was true that his uncle had been deceived for decades and did not dare to return to his hometown. He should be pure when he returns to his hometown. It is a visit to relatives.
The handsome boy wrung out the towel, poured the water into the ditch at the door, and then placed the basin and towel in the room opposite the refrigerator room. They were exclusive items for Uncle Chen's grandfather.
Chen Kang walked to the seat, looked at several elderly people, and recognized Cheng Wu: "Are you the fifth child of the Cheng family?"
Cheng Wu was a little excited when he was recognized: "Brother Kang, do you still remember me? I am Cheng Wu!"
Chen Kang strode forward and put his hand on Cheng Wu's shoulder: "We haven't seen each other for decades. We are both old. I remember that you, the boy, often fought with me for fish, and the third boy of the Zhang family was the most They were unkind and even tried to snatch hogweed from me. Several boys from the Zhou family and a few boys from the Liu family also tried to snatch everything from me. Even when they wanted to take a bath in the river, they had to snatch pig grass from me. They even peeed in the water. , let me take a piss bath, and now that I think about it, I still want to beat you up.”
"What the hell, you still want to beat me?" Zhang Laosan glared arrogantly: "Brother Kang, don't think that you are the boss just because you are older than us. Do you want to go out and beat me on the road now? A fight? If we can’t beat you, we will lose.”
When the embarrassment of his youth was revealed, Liu Lu's father, one of the parties involved, also jumped: "That's right, there are three of us today. I still don't believe that we can't beat you three against one."
Someone answered the question. Chen Kang looked over and pointed directly at Zhang Laosan: "From the tone of your voice, I know you are Zhang Laosan, and the other one is Liu Jiashunzi who looked like a girl when she was young? You three are here, and you still want to Are you going to have a good fight outside in the afternoon? I will teach you that even after decades, your brother Kang is still your brother Kang!”
Several old people started to fight each other as soon as they met. Grandma Zhang San laughed and scolded angrily: "You old boys don't even look at how old you are. Do you think you are still seven or eight years old? The old guys in their seventies and eighties are so old that they are going to leave soon." If you can't move anymore, you can still yell and fight with your fists. It's not a shame."
After being told by his mother-in-law, Zhang Laosan smiled and changed his words: "You heard wrong, we didn't say fight. I meant Brother Kang hasn't been back for decades. The village has changed a lot. I have time to spend time with Brother Kang." Go for a walk outside and see how much has changed. "Yes, Brother Kang hasn't been back to his hometown for decades. I may not remember the way to some places. I have time to go and take a look in the afternoon."
Cheng Wu and Liu Lu's father also pretended not to remember what they had said before, and smiled and asked Chen Kang and his wife to sit down.
Chen Kang also nodded cooperatively and introduced his wife to his childhood friends from the same village. He sat at the same table with his wife, Mr. Cheng and others, and chatted with them about everyday things.
Cheng Wu is only a few months younger than Chen Kang. Zhang Laosan and Liu Laishun are less than one or two years younger than Chen Kang. Chen Kang did not go to Han City until he was nearly 20 years old. They are fellow villagers who have been familiar with each other since childhood and have not seen each other for decades. Naturally, there is a lot to say.
Of course, there were many people from the same village who had fought and naughty with Chen Kang since childhood, such as Brother Zhou, Village Chief Zhou, etc.
The old man of the Chen family took his seat, and Young Master Yan cleverly served tea, taking the opportunity to refresh his face.
The uncle and nephew recognized each other, but Le's father had not yet recognized his cousins. He went to recognize his cousins by himself because his uncle held him while crying before. He did not pay attention to his aunt's introduction to the two cousins, thinking that the shorter one looked older. My old cousin is my eldest cousin, but who knows that the one with fairer skin is actually my eldest cousin, which is embarrassing.
Chen Xin and Chen Jie are also helpless because their younger brother has slightly darker skin and is a teacher. He worries about his students and looks older. His elder brother is born with slightly fairer skin and looks younger. They are often fooled when they go out.
The adults recognized each other as relatives, Chen Fengnian recognized him as his cousin, and Le's father gave his cousin a red envelope as a greeting gift.
After getting married, Cheng Wu, Zhang Laoshan, Liu Laishun and Chen Kang were reminiscing about their childhood. Grandma Zhang San and Liu Qi were chatting with Chen Kang's wife. Liu Lu and others naturally talked to the Chen brothers, as did Sister-in-law He and Sister-in-law Zhao. companion.
Beautiful young men Yan Shaolan San and Chen Fengnian were sitting together. The handsome boys asked with concern about the study and living conditions of the young boy from the Chen family.
As the owner, Le's father Zhou Qiufeng didn't have time to talk to his uncles and cousins for the time being, so he went to the south building to wash the steaming bucket, steamed the rice in the kitchen on the first floor of the south building, and then immediately started preparing the lunch dishes.
Cheng Wu and others reminisced about the events of that year for nearly forty minutes. Hua Yan, the old man, took Xiao Leshan downstairs and returned to the north building.
Mr. Yi has to supervise his little disciple to walk every day. Because it snows, it is too cold in the early morning, and Xiao Leshan is still too young. Mr. Yi feels sorry for his little disciple, so he temporarily changes the time of walking to mid-morning.
The two elders were on the third floor of the south building of the Lejia building supervising the little Leshan Zamabu. They heard clearly the whole process of Chen Dalian coming to the Lejia and then Uncle Chen coming to the Lejia to recognize his relatives, so they were not surprised.
When Chen Kang saw his grandson and his master coming, he stood up and stared at the little baby, his eyes full of excitement.
Chen Xin had seen Xiao Leshan from a distance. This was the first time for Chen Jie to meet his cousin’s son. He was particularly surprised. Xiao Leshan looked so cute!
The child is wearing a red woolen coat, navy blue trousers, and shoes with red patterns. He is not fat, has a fleshy face, and his skin is white and tender, as smooth as white jade, and his eyes are bright.
The little guy is holding the beautiful boy's legs and hugging the dog with one hand. His cute little appearance makes people blush.
Chen Jie: "..." My cousin's little baby is so cute. Can I have another one for him to raise? With such a cute doll by his side, he felt that whenever he was about to have a heart attack due to the anger of the students, he could resurrect with full blood in seconds.
When Leshan returned to the south building, he immediately attached himself to the beautiful young brother. The beautiful boy took the soft and cute little Leshan's hand and brought him to Uncle Chen's grandfather. He first introduced Uncle Chen's family to Mr. Yi and Hua, and then to Mr. Yi and Hua. The Chen family introduced Xiao Leshan’s master and Mr. Hua.
When introducing the two elders, he only briefly introduced their last names and didn't say much.
Chen Kang took his sons to say hello to the two mysterious martial arts masters.
The beautiful young man introduced the adults, and then introduced the elders of the Chen family to little Leshan. Leshan was very well-behaved, and the beautiful brother said that he should be called uncle, and he immediately called him "uncle" sweetly.
Children are the most annoying, not to mention that Leshan is so cute. Chen Kangzhouwei couldn't bear to let go of the children while holding them, so he gave each of them a big red envelope.
Leshan looked confused. He looked at his brother and got permission to accept gifts, so he accepted the red envelopes from two grandparents.
Chen Kangzhouwei fell in love with Xiao Leshan's cute little appearance, and he hugged her and refused to let go.
The beautiful young man took little Leshan from the hands of the two elders and took him to see the Chen brothers to teach the little guy how to recognize his cousin.
The two cousins stuffed their little nephew with big red envelopes and happily played with the baby. They couldn't put it down.
Little Leshan was not frightened and cried, but just pursed his lips. The beautiful boy quickly picked him up and took him to meet his little cousin. When he saw his little cousin, he took him with him to avoid being taken away by the half-grown children of the Chen family. Guy makes me cry.
Chen Kang's family, young and old, all wanted to snatch the little one away, but they were caught by the young and old in the same village and told them the "secret" quietly. Xiao Leshan had a very stubborn temper. His sister was at home. If anyone made him cry, his sister would comfort him. His tears turned into laughter, his sister was not at home, no one could make him cry, not even his parents wanted to make him cry.
The little guy only clings to pretty boys now. If anyone messes with him, he will cry and cause a lot of headaches.
Chen Kangzhouwei and his sons were afraid of making the little baby cry, so they refrained from snatching it away, which gave Chen Fengnian an advantage. He was next to the beautiful boy and could often tease little Leshan.
