Qi Zheng's big hands pinched the corner of the quilt, then loosened them, and then clenched them into fists again.
It can be seen that he is struggling and entangled in his heart and is very uneasy.
He has always felt guilty for driving his wife and eldest son away, and has been in pain for many years without saying a word.
Now, telling him that his daughter-in-law and eldest son may have left temporarily for other reasons made his heart seem to see a ray of redemption.
Qi Zheng suddenly looked up at Qi Xixing and said, "We have three days off for New Year's Day. Bring your mother's favorite flowers and your brother's favorite food, and let's go over there and take a look."
So many years.
He didn't dare to face it or even take a look.
Now that his family members were back and were with him, he finally plucked up the courage to go and see it with his own eyes.
Qi Xixing spoke with some difficulty: "The place they were in no longer exists. The nearest one is the old Beichuan County, which is now a ruin with only a stele left."
He had been there that year.
He went there several times later, so he knew clearly.
Qi Zheng waved his hand: "Then go to that monument and take a look. Even if you can only walk to that monument, it will be the closest place to your mother and your eldest brother."
Qi Xixing: "Okay, our whole family will go on New Year's Day!"
Qi Yao said, "Let's go the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll take care of school matters, and Dad will take care of work matters. If we go the day after tomorrow, we'll be gone for three days and it will be New Year's Day when we come back. Otherwise, there will be a lot of tourists during the three-day New Year's Day holiday, and it won't be good if we're recognized and photographed by the media."
Qi Zheng said with satisfaction: "Xiao Yao always thinks of everything! Let's go the day after tomorrow!"
Qi Xixing: "Okay!"
Wendy: “Okay!”
Qi Yao stayed in Lan Palace that night.
The suite he lived in was left by his uncle. My grandfather said that his uncle's dressing room, bedroom, and bathroom were all cleaned and the furniture was renewed, but the study was the only thing that remained untouched.
Qi Yao began to rummage through the drawers.
He was very brave. As he turned over the pages, he muttered, "Uncle, uncle! I am your nephew Qi Yao! If you are still alive, please give me a hint and tell me why you and grandma suddenly left home!"
Qi Yao found a lot of things.
For example, Qi Xixing’s previous plane and train tickets, student ID cards, used pens, boxes of precious tie clips, and boxes of beautiful cufflinks.
There are also several stamp albums, old banknotes of different versions, diaries from elementary and junior high school, and letters to pen pals.
"Uncle is such a delicate and refined person."
Qi Yao searched for most of the night, turning over every page of the thick dictionary, but found no special clues.
It was just after midnight.
Just when Qi Yao was about to sort and put all the items away.
He accidentally found a yellowed color photo in a book by Tagore.
The photo shows my uncle with a sunny and beautiful girl.
The two stood at the gate of the Presidential Palace, one of the attractions in Jinling City. The girl leaned gently on her uncle's chest, and both of them had happy smiles on their faces.
Qi Yao seemed to be thinking: "I think I've seen him somewhere..."
Suddenly!
A light bulb went off in Qi Yao’s mind!
I went to Taihu Lake to visit my uncle’s ex-girlfriend before, and he saw the photo on the tombstone in the cemetery!
The girl in that photo has almost the same temperament and appearance as the one in the uncle's arms!
But!
Isn’t the girl on the tombstone the twin sister of my uncle’s girlfriend?
My uncle's girlfriend should be the one who is now processing marriage certificates for newlyweds at the local administrative center. She has become a director. Last time, their iron triangle even went there specifically to have dinner with that person.
Qi Yao looked at the girl in the photo and tried hard to recall.
Locals say she is uneducated, having dropped out of junior high school and never leaving her hometown.
However, the temperament of the girl on the tombstone gives people the feeling that she is well-read and elegant, and does not seem like a reckless person.
The more Qi Yao looked at it, the more he felt that the girl on the tombstone was the one in his uncle's arms!
But that's not right...
Is it true that the twins look too similar?
But the temperament is still not right...
On the contrary, the guy they met in Huzhou last time still had a bit of a ruffian air about him, and he wouldn't cry until he saw the coffin. He was unlike the gentle character in the photo, leaning on his uncle's arms.
Help……
What is going on?
Qi Yao looked at the page where the photo was originally stuck -
She looked up at the sky quietly,
The other end of the sari slid down into the moonlight.
So much light seemed to be pouring onto her face.
The moonlight fell on her face.
As if it had melted,
And it seemed as if he had fallen asleep in her eyes. 】
Hmm...
Uncle really likes her.
In my uncle's heart, she is as beautiful as the white moonlight.
"Don't be surprised if there's something strange."
Qi Yao muttered something to the photo, put the photo back into the collection of Tagore's poems, and took the collection to the desk.
He thought, maybe he should go to Xiaoshan again.
This time, we should go directly to meet the girl's parents and family instead of meeting the girl herself, and find out what is going on.
The next day.
Qi Yao returned to school, checked the upcoming class schedule, and then took three days off.
He greeted Wang Fei and Huang Haoxuan, and said that he would accompany his family to Wenchuan to mourn their relatives, and asked them to take care of things at school. If there were any questions, they could search online first, or he would explain them to them when he came back.
Wang Fei and Huang Haoxuan told him to focus on household matters and not to worry about them.
