Chapter 774 Grandpa throws the blame, Huo family past
After Huo Lanci heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he snorted softly: "I heard what they said behind my back."
"You want to see a play, too?"
Yu Wanqing chuckled: "Life is hard, and it would be great if I could watch a play."
"You want to watch your man's drama, which is a bit too much." Huo Lanci reminded: "Otherwise, let's watch Comrade Huo Jianying's drama."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the head: "You idiot, you are going to make a scene."
Huo Lanci turned around and looked at his old father, then smiled. He had already made up his mind. From now on, he would let his father teach his three grandchildren and let them love and kill each other.
Huo Jianying felt uneasy and always felt that something bad was going to happen.
Several people sat in the study. Huo Lanci glanced at his grandfather and father and said, "I heard that Huo Xi and we are brothers from the same clan."
After hearing this, Mr. Huo looked back at Huo Lanci with a shocked look on his face: "Don't you know yet?"
"I thought your dad already told you?"
Huo Jianying didn't want to talk anymore. This old man always plays tricks on her.
He's used to it.
Huo Lanci also noticed what his grandfather was doing, smiled, and said the names of the two people.
They are the couple who sweep the alley.
When Mr. Huo met his grandson's eyes, he stopped laughing. He coughed a few times and said helplessly, "It's a long story."
"We have time to listen." Huo Lanci reminded him, "Grandpa can talk slowly, we are not in a hurry."
Mr. Huo wanted to knock this unfilial grandson on the head.
He said: "This story started 80 years ago. At that time, the country was in turmoil. My great-grandfather suggested splitting up the family. When the situation was uncertain, no one could interact openly. Even if they met, they had to pretend not to know each other."
"So, my great-grandfather divided the family property among his children. They took the money they got and scattered around China to start over." At this point, he sighed, "Some of them took their money and went into seclusion in the mountains to save their lives."
"After they left, my great-grandfather staged an accident and announced that all the children except the eldest son had died in an accident."
I also received a wave of sympathy at that time.
"The eldest branch of our Huo family has to protect the family business, so we stay in Beijing." Old Huo said with emotion: "It was agreed when we split up the family that the eldest branch of the Huo family is the root. No matter how far they go, as long as they come back and come to the door, they can't be turned away."
"We thought things would be stable in 30 to 40 years, but who could have imagined that they would be gone for nearly a hundred years. My great-grandfather never saw the children he sent away again during his lifetime."
Neither Yu Wanqing nor Huo Lanci had expected things to turn out like this.
Elder Huo continued, "The eldest branch of the Huo family has been waiting for a clan member to come since your great-grandfather. They have been waiting for eighty years, and only one Huo Xi has been waiting."
Yu Wanqing was a little surprised: "The couple sweeping the alley, aren't they from the Huo family?"
"Yes, as far as I know, they are the bloodline of the second branch of the Huo family. In terms of seniority, they are of the same generation as me and younger than me. If you meet them in the future, remember to respect them."
When Mr. Huo said this, he sighed and said, "They didn't come to our house, probably because they didn't want to cause trouble for us. I have asked people to keep an eye on them. Now they have returned to school to continue their work."
"Their children have also returned to their respective posts."
"This is already a good ending." Huo Jianying looked at Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci: "It's not that I didn't tell you, but it seems that they don't want to come to our house and disturb our lives."
"But they still remember the Huo family's ancestral teachings, that is, as members of the Huo family, no matter where they go, they must remember to help each other, support each other, and never stab each other in the back."
Huo Jianying couldn't help but sigh when talking about this incident: "I once fell into the hands of the enemy while on a mission, and was rescued by an old couple in the mountains. Later I found out that they were the Huo family members who chose to live in seclusion that year."
"They saw that my facial features were similar to your great-grandfather's and concluded that I was a member of the Huo family, so they rescued me from the enemy."
Huo Lanci was silent for a moment, then he said, "You should have told us earlier. As members of the Huo family, we have the right to know this."
"If we meet them in the future, we will be able to tell who is our relative and if they need help, we can lend a helping hand in time."
Mr. Huo said softly, "I thought your father had already said it."
Seeing his grandson's disbelieving look, Mr. Huo felt very wronged. Even if he really had an idea, he would not use it for this matter.
"You can't wrongly accuse someone of this, and don't look at your grandfather like that. I thought your dad told you when you came back last year."
It is better to die with a friend than to die with a poor friend. Even if you are really wrong, you cannot take the blame alone.
Huo Jianying leaned aside and didn't want to talk.
Huo Lanci and Yu Wanqing saw this scene and had a hard time holding back their laughter. He said, "Think about how to tell Big Brother about this."
"I think Big Brother will deal with them. We all share the same roots." Huo Lanci reminded him with a smile, "I'm afraid that if we don't know, we will be too anxious to fight each other."
Huo Jianying and Mr. Huo looked at each other and both felt that this matter was a bit serious and they must tell Wen Ci as soon as possible.
Before dinner, Lu Jing'an woke up. Huo Lanci brought him some water to help him brush his teeth and wash his face. After watching him put on his thick clothes, he said, "You've lost a lot of weight. You should take good care of yourself while you're in Beijing."
Lu Jingan smiled and said, "As a researcher, sometimes you don't have time to eat. This is normal."
"I have been taking the pills that Xiaowu asked someone to send to me. Don't look at me as thin, I am in good health."
"By the way, don't tell Mr. Kang about my visit, or he will be worried."
Huo Lanci glanced at him and said, "I think it's a little too late for you to say this now."
"You've been away from the base for a few days. Mr. Kang must have known about it."
He also called Lu Simo and asked him to come to Jing City right away so that he could meet Uncle Lu before he returned to the base.
Of course, he didn't tell Uncle Lu about this, and would wait until Lusmo came.
Lu Jingan sighed: "If he knew, he would definitely come here."
"I have caused trouble for you and your wife, and now I have to trouble Elder Kang as well."
He whispered softly, "I was really too impulsive this time. If I encounter something like this next time, I will definitely contact you as soon as possible."
"You know how to think. This trip is not in vain." Huo Lanci smiled and followed Lu Jing'an to the hall: "We have been looking for news about Sheng Mei. If we really find anything, we will definitely contact you."
"I don't believe anyone would find Shengmei earlier than us." Unless Lu Shengmei has always been in the other party's hands.
