Chapter 1290 Meng Pei's Plan
Shu Yu choked for a moment; there were still escort missions to carry out during the Chinese New Year.
Then, remembering the New Year's goods he wanted to send to the capital, he couldn't help but touch his nose.
Meng Yunzheng said, "Because the New Year is coming soon, most of the bodyguards in the escort agency have families and don't want to be separated from their families, so there are not many people who can escort goods. Originally, my father had just joined the escort agency, so this kind of task should not have been his turn, but he volunteered and planned to go."
Shu Yu asked in confusion, "Why?"
Uncle Meng wasn't exactly without family, and besides, this was the first New Year he and Meng Yunzheng had celebrated together since their reunion. Without someone like Gong Qiu watching over them, it was a truly comfortable and carefree reunion.
Why are you leaving instead?
Speaking of this, Meng Yunzheng also had a headache. "My uncle wrote several letters, asking my father to come to our hometown for the New Year. He said that the two brothers haven't seen each other for so many years, and the last time they parted was also in a hurry. He asked my father to take me back so that we can pay our respects to our parents and ancestors together during the New Year and have a reunion."
What Meng Yunzheng didn't say was that the tone of his uncle's letter was almost like he was crying his eyes out.
Actually, when the Meng family went to relocate the graves last time, Uncle Meng tried to stop them, saying that since it was only a few months away, they should just stay home for the New Year.
Meng Pei refused, citing his intention to propose marriage to the Lu family. This was Meng Yunzheng's marriage, and it had already been arranged, so Meng's uncle naturally couldn't stop them. However, when seeing them off, he repeatedly reminded them that they must return for the New Year.
Uncle Meng and Meng Pei had a very good relationship. Uncle Meng was not very old when Meng's parents passed away.
At that time, Meng Pei was busy taking over the escort agency and dealing with the relatives who coveted the Meng family's position, leaving him with very little time to spare. Nevertheless, he still managed to find some time to teach his uncle, Meng Xiaoshu.
Uncle Meng had practically followed Meng Pei all the way up, and he admired and respected his older brother. When he learned of his brother's 'death' more than ten years ago, he fell seriously ill.
Now that the brothers have reunited, even though Uncle Meng is already thirty-five or thirty-six, his playful tone in the letter is still like that of a child.
Meng Pei was extremely annoyed by the several urgent letters from him, but his uncle's words reminded him of something.
The issue of ancestor worship during the Lunar New Year.
They not only had to pay respects to their ancestors, but Meng Pei also wanted to visit Song Xin.
It was indeed rare for him and Meng Yunzheng to reunite, but it was even rarer for him to be with Song Xin.
The father and son had secretly met a few times over the past ten years, but not with Song Xin. Of course, he wanted to spend the first New Year with his wife after avenging his father.
A son is never as important as a wife.
So Meng Pei made a decision: he would escort the goods to the capital as soon as possible, and after delivering the goods, he would ride back to the Meng family at full speed so that he could have a New Year's Eve dinner with Song Xin.
Shu Yu was speechless after hearing this. "Then aren't you going back?"
“My uncle wants me to go back to the Meng family. But you know, I’m not actually a child of the Meng family. Although the Meng family doesn’t know it, we know it in our hearts. Accompanying them to the ancestral worship during the Lunar New Year, um… it’s not appropriate.”
As for his mother, he has spent every year with her for the past ten years or so. This time, he won't disturb his parents' heart-to-heart talk.
Shu Yu, "..."
That's true.
"Moreover, my relationship with my father is different. My father has a good and deep relationship with my uncle, but I have almost no contact with them. Even if I go back, I don't know anyone and it's very awkward."
Meng Yunzheng also dislikes visiting relatives and friends during the Spring Festival.
