Chapter 119 Photo of Brother He Yuan
Seeing their fiery enthusiasm, Chen Qing's beautiful peach blossom eyes smiled brightly. After causing screams, she waved goodbye to them and left.
She returned to the teacher's office, while He Yuan returned to the research institute.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the institute, He Yuan was pulled away by Director Shen. "Next month, the machinery factory will hold a provincial technical exchange meeting. You must perform well."
"Um."
He Yuan's eyes were cold and distant.
Director Shen was impatient. He stretched out his right hand and put it on his shoulder with great effort: "This is a very important exchange meeting. If you perform well, the prestige of our machinery factory will be further enhanced."
"I know."
He Yuan was impatient to listen to him.
Mumbling on and on.
The same old things are repeated over and over again.
Director Shen was a chatterbox. He talked a lot to He Yuan, making it impossible for He Yuan to work according to the original schedule.
He Yuan took Director Shen to see the director, and after leaving Director Shen to the director, he caught up on today's progress in the afternoon.
When he got home in the afternoon, he saw Xiaoyu playing skipping rubber bands with two wooden stools at the door and asked, "Where's your aunt?"
If she came back, Xiaoyu should be in the yard.
Xiaoyu looked up and saw that it was him, then smiled and explained, "My aunt was forced by my brother to go visit an aunt who was in confinement because my brother said that when he and I were young, we received red eggs from her family. We should understand the ways of the world, so he asked my aunt to go and give them eggs."
He Yuan: "Your brother knows a lot."
Children who are not much older are calmer than adults.
He Yuxiang came out after hearing He Yuan's voice and greeted him: "Uncle He Yuan, can you do me a favor?"
"What's wrong?"
"I have a fishing rod at home. It was once used by my grandfather. It is placed very high. I can't reach it with a stool. Can you help me?"
He Yuxiang made an appointment with his classmates to go fishing in a river near the school on the weekend. He wanted to take it down quickly to see if the fishing rod was broken. If it was broken, he would quickly find someone to help make another one.
He Yuan nodded and walked in naturally: "Where is it?"
"The utility room."
The utility room was where his mother used to live. Originally, her mother had a main room. After all, she lived with her aunt, her two sisters, and her grandparents, so three main rooms were just right.
But later, when his mother gave birth to him and Xiaoyu, and he was four years old, his mother let him sleep alone.
Even though he was young, his mother didn't want him to live in the utility room and would rather move there herself.
So the utility room became a room in the middle, but after my mother left, it remained a utility room.
Grandpa threw his fishing rod there.
He Yuxiang estimated that based on Uncle He Yuan's height, he would be able to take down the fishing rod.
He Yuan asked as he walked: "Have all you elementary school students started fishing?"
"Maomao became friends with the student sitting in front of him. There is a river near his home where there are fish. He asked me if I wanted to go fishing. I wanted to try and see if I could catch fish. If I could, I could save money on buying groceries."
If it weren't for the fact that it could save money, He Yuxiang would not have been interested.
He Yuan warned: "Then you and Xiaoyu should not get too close to the river and are not allowed to jump in to swim, understand?"
"I know." He Yuxiang nodded.
He Yuan came to the utility room and saw the fishing rod was on the beam. No wonder He Yuxiang couldn't reach it. He also went to get a stool, and after stepping on it, he touched the fishing rod.
When he was about to jump down, he accidentally bumped into the wooden cabinet in the utility room, and the mooncake box on the second layer fell down, and the photos inside were scattered all over the floor.
He Yuan, who was about to apologize, froze when he saw the photos scattered on the ground.
Among them was a five-inch black-and-white photo. He was very familiar with the boy in the photo.
——His elder brother.
He Yuan pointed at the photo in disbelief and asked He Yuxiang: "Who is this?"
"My father."
He Yuxiang went to pick up the photo.
His father used to be from a well-off family, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to leave him any gold.
He Yuan’s memory was pulled back to 1957, when he was exactly ten years old. His brother had smuggled himself abroad with a large amount of property. How could he appear here?
and……
He Yuxiang's father died.
He Yuan's eyes suddenly turned red. After handing the fishing rod to He Yuxiang, he went home without caring about anything else.
Seeing him leave in a hurry, He Yuxiang frowned slightly and picked up his father's photo to look at it carefully.
Uncle He Yuan’s surname is He, and his father’s surname is also He. Could they have known each other before?
He Yuxiang took out his father's photo and put it in his pocket, and no longer covered the mooncake box to make it convenient for Xiaoyu to take the photo to see her parents.
He found the lid of the mooncake box, pressed it tightly, and stepped on it a few times, making a 'bang bang bang' sound. The surface of the box was almost dented.
Even an adult would have to pry it open with great effort.
He Yuxiang picked up the box, wiped it, and then went to hide it in his sister's room.
He was not quite sure what the relationship between his father and Uncle He Yuan was, but his father said he was an orphan.
Uncle He Yuan seems to be a good person at the moment, but we must always be on guard against him.
The big yard next door.
He Yuan's mind went blank. He had been jealous of his older brother since he was a child because he got the only chance to sneak overseas and lived a carefree life.
He wrote at least a thousand self-criticism reports in China, suffered from hunger countless times, and watched his parents pass away because they had no hope in the world.
But how could his elder brother become He Yuxiang’s father?
He Yuan was confused.
He envied his elder brother, but his elder brother was also his biggest dream. He had fantasized many times that if the policy was liberalized one day, he might be able to go overseas and see his only relative.
Because his elder brother is very good to him.
But why would my brother stay in the country?
How could he die?
He Yuan subconsciously avoided the news of his elder brother's death in his mind and even wanted to ignore the photo.
But his indescribable intimacy with He Yuxiang and He Yuting, as well as He Yuxiang's appearance, made it impossible for him to categorically deny that his eldest brother might be He Yuxiang's father!
He Yuan tried his best to calm down.
He needs to investigate these first.
After sitting in the house for a long time, He Yuan realized that he had missed working time, so he hurried to the machinery factory.
The director looked at He Yuan in surprise: "Researcher He, why are you late?"
He Yuan: "Sorry. I will take the initiative to extend the time."
"These are all trivial matters. I see that you are not in a good condition. Are you okay?"
"fine."
He Yuan walked towards the laboratory.
His mind was in a mess, but when he was doing the experiment, his hands were steady and he was careful. There were no mistakes in the data and no one noticed any abnormalities. Even the director who was worried about him left in disappointment.
I thought something happened.
It’s so depressing!
Since Deputy Chief Mao got He Yuan, he has become even more powerful.
After He Yuan came, many stubborn researchers admired him and were willing to come from afar to help. Deputy Director Mao's team grew and was almost the same as his, which made him feel that his position was in jeopardy.
He also hoped that He Yuan would make a mistake.
That way we can catch him by the braid.
it's a pity!
He Yuan from the laboratory waited until eleven o'clock in the evening and left the machinery factory. After returning home, he endured for a long time, waiting until about two or three in the morning, then climbed over the wall into Chen Qing's yard.
