"Qingyun, why are you here? Have Huaishan and the others returned?" Qiuju was quite surprised to see Li Qingyun coming over.
"They came back after dinner. Qingyue gave birth to a boy, and we agreed to go see her tomorrow." Li Qingyun said as she walked in. She saw that her eyes were indeed red and her voice was nasal.
"You gave birth to a boy? That's great. Now you can have a foothold in your husband's family and you can worry less. It's really not easy to be the eldest sister. I'm also the eldest at home and I have to worry about my younger brothers and sisters." Qiuju said with empathy.
"Yes, sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Did you have a fight with Brother Cheng?" Li Qingyun pointed at her eyes in confusion.
Qiuju was silent for a few seconds and then pulled her into the house.
Cheng Jie was rummaging through the cabinet and packing something. Maotou was not there, probably because he went out to play.
"If you didn't come, I would have to look for you. Let Maotou's father tell you." Qiuju asked her to sit down and poured her a glass of water.
Cheng Jie was also in a heavy mood. A letter from a year ago disrupted their peaceful life.
It’s New Year’s Day, so as not to spoil the fun. The couple has been worried about this for several days.
It turned out that Cheng Jie had unexpectedly contacted his uncle two months ago.
"Given the relationship between our two families, I won't hide it from you. My ancestors were all scholars. My father's generation suffered a lot because of the war. Their family wealth was gone, and they had to leave their hometown. Finally, they settled here and finally lived a peaceful life for a few years. I was still young at that time.
I have heard from my parents that I had a younger uncle who went abroad to study very early. I was only three or four years old at that time and don’t have much memory of him.
Later, my grandparents passed away, my parents became displaced, and lost contact with my uncle.
Just two months ago, I wrote an article and sent it to Beijing for submission, and it was unexpectedly selected for publication in a newspaper.
Not long after, I received a strange letter with my parents' names on it. So I wrote back to inquire. Unexpectedly, the person said that he was my uncle. He had returned to China many years ago and was now a powerful cadre in the Foreign Languages Bureau.
I'm also very happy. My father was still talking about this brother when he passed away. I have one more relative in this world."
Li Qingyun was stunned. She didn't expect that her little butterfly could flap its wings so powerfully. Cheng Jie in the book had never found his so-called relatives.
It's no wonder. In his previous life, his wife and children passed away, and he was disheartened and left his hometown. He would rather be a migrant worker than stay in this sad place. How could he write any article to submit?
The fate in this world is so wonderful.
Cheng Jie's uncle works in cultural field, although it is foreign culture. However, when he saw this article, he immediately appreciated it. When he saw the author's name, he found that it was the same name as his nephew who had been separated from him in his early years, which made him feel even more familiar with it.
So, as usual, he found the author's address and sent him a letter. He did not expect a reply, but was just casting a net like looking for a needle in a haystack, because he had experienced many expectations and disappointments.
After returning to China for so many years, he has been looking for Cheng Jie's family for a long time. Whenever he meets someone with the same name and surname as his elder brother and nephew, he will ask with great anticipation, but all he gets is disappointment. He even feels that he will never find his elder brother and nephew in this lifetime.
Unexpectedly, the letter I sent out out of habit actually received the answer I wanted.
He recognized these two names; he really was his nephew!
Although my elder brother and his wife are no longer alive, it is a blessing in disguise to be able to get news about my nephew.
The two families had originally agreed to find time to meet in Beijing after the New Year.
"Years ago, I received an urgent letter from him, saying that the situation had changed, people were in a state of panic, and his status as an overseas student was being questioned and was in jeopardy.
He has decided to give up everything and move his family to Hong Kong as soon as possible. Our correspondence may become proof of my overseas relationship in the future. If it is discovered after he leaves, it will affect my future life, so he asked our family to follow him in the letter.
At the same time, the letter also contained three train tickets to Beijing on the fifth day of the first lunar month. Because he didn't dare to reveal too much in the letter, he only wrote a few words. This made me very nervous. I didn't know what to do. Should I give up everything I have now and go with my uncle? It's not a pleasant feeling to leave my hometown.
"Your sister-in-law has cried secretly many times these days. She doesn't want to leave the place where she was born and raised. Her relatives are here. How can I not want to be displaced? Isn't this the only way? If something really happens, I, a man, can endure any hardship, but what about her and Maotou?" Cheng Jie said helplessly.
In fact, as of today, he has already made a decision.
Li Qingyun felt like a groundhog screaming in her heart.
Cheng Jie is born to be a big boss!
I can’t imagine what kind of person he will become after arriving in Hong Kong.
Boss, a real boss, she actually got hold of the golden thigh in advance.
Go, you must go!
"Brother Cheng, are you sure this person is your uncle?" Don't be fooled.
"It's definitely true. He sent me a keepsake before. It's a jade ornament passed down from our family. My father also has one like it. The man in the photo looks about 60% like my father. The stories he told me are also the stories my father told me. It's definitely true."
"If your uncle really has connections, I suggest you follow him. My family member Zhou also mentioned to me that things are chaotic everywhere right now, especially in Beijing. A little disturbance could bring disaster to the whole family.
It would have been fine if you hadn't recognized your relationship before, but you just happened to encounter it at this juncture, and there's nothing you can do about it.
