Chapter 31 Uncle Liu Jianxin



When she walked to the middle of a carriage, she saw an old lady coming towards her with a toddler in her arms and an older child in her hands. Meng Tao tried to move aside, but the woman was too fat or something, and she swung her hips and knocked Meng Tao off her feet. She fell down. Sitting next to her was a young man with glasses. In a panic, Meng Tao put one hand on his shoulder and the other on his head. The young man's black-framed glasses fell off immediately, and he hurriedly dropped the book he was reading and reached out to catch the glasses.

After Meng Tao stood up, she quickly apologized to the man. The man put his glasses back on and glared at her angrily. Anyone who had their head suddenly pressed down would be angry. Meng Tao apologized again, feeling very embarrassed.

Seeing the man lowering his head to look for his book, Meng Tao hurriedly squatted down and picked up the book from under the seat. She found that a photo sandwiched between the books was about to fall out, so she took it out and prepared to sandwich it back. She glanced at the photo inadvertently, and Meng Tao paused, then looked at it carefully. She was a little surprised and turned to look at the man.

The man was about 26 or 27 years old, wearing a light blue short-sleeved cool shirt, black pants, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a pair of black-framed glasses. He was reading a book while riding in the car. He was an educated man.

Meng Tao searched the memories left by Meng Taohua and confirmed that there was no image of this person.

The man reached out to Meng Tao to return the book: "Be careful next time, don't press people's heads, it's easy to get hurt."

"Yes, yes, I will pay more attention next time. I am so sorry for you today!"

Meng Tao handed over the photo: "Brother, is this photo of you?"

The man took the photo, looked at it, put it back into the book, and said, "This is my father's photo, a photo of him and his friends."

"Um, brother, do you know who is in the photo?"

The man looked at Meng Tao carefully, then took out the photo and handed it to her: "The three people in it, from left to right, are Liu Yongsheng, Meng Shengli, and Xu Zhenguo. How, do you know them?"

Meng Tao was stunned for a moment: This is too coincidental, a small accident, she actually bumped into the photo of Grandpa Meng. There is an image of Grandpa Meng in her memory, she just saw a middle-aged version of Grandpa Meng in the photo, she thought it was just a similar person, who knew it was really Meng Shengli!

The young man stared at Meng Tao's face and said, "You really know me? Are you the child of Uncle Meng Shengli?"

Meng Tao didn't know what to say, so she just smiled and nodded.

The young man looked incredulous, then smiled: "Great! My name is Liu Jianxin, and my father is Liu Yongsheng in the photo."

Meng Tao: "My name is Meng Taohua. When I glanced at the photo just now, I thought the person in the photo looked a lot like my grandfather Meng Shengli. I didn't expect it was really him."

Liu Jianxin looked around and saw many people looking at them curiously, so he said to Meng Tao, "Let's go over there and talk."

Meng Tao followed him to the aisle connecting the carriages, which was right in front of the conductor's lounge, where two people were standing and talking.

Liu Jianxin: "There are three comrades in the photo. Liu Yongsheng and Xu Zhenguo had contacted each other a few years ago, but they have never been able to find Meng Shengli. For so many years, they have been worried about him."

Meng Tao: "There are no photos at home, but grandpa must have missed his old friends... It's a pity that grandpa has passed away."

Liu Jianxin was surprised: "Why is Grandpa Meng... No, Uncle Meng passed away?"

"Well, grandpa has never been in good health. He passed away more than four years ago."

Liu Jianxin sighed, "What a pity. We finally met. My father must be sad again. He has been talking about you for so long. He and Uncle Xu once went to look for you, but they didn't find you. Uncle Xu also passed away the year before last."

"What a pity... Is your father in good health?"

"He hasn't been in good health in the past two years. He has some lung problems, keeps coughing, and can't quit smoking and drinking."

"No, my hometown is in H Province, and my father now lives in my hometown, Qingfeng City. I came to D Province to work at the Forestry Bureau of Pingjiang City, D Province. I am married and have a two-year-old son. Your sister-in-law... That's not right!"

Liu Jianxin suddenly stopped, looked at Meng Tao and smiled: "The three of them are good brothers. I call your grandfather Uncle Meng, so you can't call me big brother. You have to call me uncle or aunt. You and my son are equals."

Meng Tao was speechless: Do you have to be so serious? You are only a few years older than me, but you are a generation older for no reason.

But thinking about the fact that Linshui Village is far away from Pingjiang City, and we won’t be able to meet often in the future, it doesn’t matter if I just call him uncle.

The two talked for quite a while in the corridor, exchanging some information. It turned out that Liu Jianxin had just returned from H Province to visit his old father and was now back to work. Meng Tao did not shy away from telling him that she had come to the provincial capital from the countryside to settle things with her live-in son-in-law who had broken his engagement.

Liu Jianxin was very angry after hearing this, and said that if he had known him earlier, he would definitely accompany Meng Tao to find that bastard and have a good "talk" about reason.

The train broadcast sounded, announcing that the next station had arrived and passengers would be boarding, so Meng Tao and Liu Jianxin returned to their seats and sat down.

Before parting, Liu Jianxin told Meng Tao that he would arrive at the station at one o'clock in the morning and asked her to get off with him and go home, and play in Pingjiang City for a few days before returning. Meng Tao thanked him and said that someone from the village would come to pick her up and she had to go back on time.

Liu Jianxin took out a pen from his jacket pocket and asked Meng Tao to tell him the detailed address and wrote it directly on the page. He went back and wrote a letter to his father. His father must be very happy to know that Meng Tao was found.

The train stopped for about ten minutes and then started moving again.

It was already night, and the carriage was very quiet. Many people fell asleep on their seats. Liu Jianxin couldn't sleep and came all the way. He wanted to see who was sitting with Meng Tao. Seeing that the two men and one woman hadn't rested yet, he tentatively asked them softly if they could change seats. The three of them shook their heads.

Liu Jianxin had no choice but to give up, gave Meng Tao a few words of advice, and then walked back.

At one o'clock in the morning, the train arrived in Pingjiang City. Liu Jianxin got off the train and hurried to the carriage where Meng Tao was sitting with his luggage. He found Meng Tao through the windows. Meng Tao happened to wake up and was lifting the window to get some fresh air. When she saw Liu Jianxin, she hurriedly greeted him, "Uncle Liu, did you get off the train?"

Liu Jianxin was amused by the uncle's words and said, "Taohua, you will arrive at the station at dawn. If someone comes to pick you up, I won't see you off. I have been on leave for more than two days this time, and I have to get back to work quickly... You have to pay more attention to yourself and remember to take care of your luggage when you get off the bus."

"Hey, I remember that. Brother Liu, take care too."

Liu Jianxin took two steps closer and held up a cloth bag with his right hand and stuffed it into Meng Tao's pocket: "The local products I brought back from my hometown are not good things. You should take good care of them when you go back and save them for later consumption."

"No, no, no! All the things from my hometown are good things. Give them to my aunt and little brother!"

Meng Tao hurriedly tried to push it back, but Liu Jianxin ran away without even looking back. People were coming and going on the platform, and soon he disappeared.

Meng Tao had no choice but to put away the cloth bag. It was quite heavy, probably weighing twenty kilograms. She was probably given all the things she brought from her hometown. The opening was tied tightly, and there were people around, so it was not convenient to open it immediately, so she put it on the shelf.

Fortunately, I just asked for Liu Jianxin's address. I saved it in my space when I got home and will send it to him later.

Good morning, fairies. The author is calling for votes as usual. Here comes an uncle. . . . .
