From the brief glance Wang Jinlin just took, he was almost certain that this was his long-lost nephew. Thinking of the love my sister had for me, my heart ached with pain.
When Wang Xu and Gu Xi came out together and sat down at the dining table, they didn't speak for a while. Yue Hongming and Gu Xi looked at each other, and then secretly observed the expressions of the uncle and nephew.
Wang Xu first pinched Gu Xi's face and said, "I told you not to make eye contact with Yue Hongming."
Gu Xi slapped his hand away: "We are just observing secretly, how can we say that we are flirting with each other? Do you know how to use idioms?"
Wang Xu pursed his lips: "We?"
Gu Xi was too lazy to pay attention to him: "Jealous King."
Yue Hongming smiled proudly: "What's wrong with us? I'm just better than you, Gu Xi, I said before that I would recommend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University to you, you should think about it carefully, this Wang Xu is unreasonable, it's hard for you to communicate."
Although Wang Jinlin didn't know what was going on, it was his instinct to protect his nephew: "What do you mean by unreasonable? Are you trying to steal my nephew's girlfriend? Yue Hongming, you are so bold. You are destroying the feelings of the masses. You dare to bully my nephew in front of me, your uncle. When I was not around before, I don't know how badly you bullied him. You only bully honest people. Don't think that Wang Xu has no one to back him up. I will tell your grandfather when I go back that you want to destroy other people's feelings and you must be punished."
Yue Hongming was not frightened by Wang Jinlin. Instead, he argued: "What uncle and nephew? Did they recognize you? Don't flatter yourself. Don't you know how annoying you are? Besides, as long as they are not married, Gu Xi still has the right to choose. I am handsome, have a good family background, and hold a high position. I am much better than your nephew."
Wang Jinlin seemed to be touched in a sore spot, his eyes were a little red: "Our family background is not bad, if it hadn't happened, Wang Xu wouldn't have fallen to this point, and my sister wouldn't have suffered so early... It's all my fault that I didn't find them earlier and let them suffer.
In order to have no worries and not to drag me down, my sister really didn't leave me any clues. I have been looking for it for more than 20 years, and only one photo supported me and gave me some hope.
Wang Xu, I'm sorry to you, your mother and your grandmother. I only remember that my family doted on me until we parted, and they gave me most of the money in the family because they were afraid that I would suffer. "
Wang Xu put down his chopsticks and looked at Wang Jinlin. Seeing the genuine grief in his eyes, he suddenly felt relieved. "My mother and grandmother have always missed you. They have never blamed you. They just hope that you can be safe. They didn't suffer. The villagers treated them well. Even if they married the wrong person, that person was also good to mom. After all, they didn't suffer much because of the money."
Wang Jinlin felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this and lowered his head and cried silently.
Yue Hongming looked at Wang Jinlin with emotion, knowing the difficulties he had faced in searching for his relatives.
Gu Xi also grabbed Wang Xu's hand to comfort him. She was deeply moved by Wang Jinlin's crying. Thinking of her own parents, she also started crying.
Seeing Gu Xi crying, Wang Xu immediately got rid of his discomfort: "Uncle, don't cry, you made Gu Xi cry."
Wang Jinlin felt even more sad when she heard the uncle, and cried even more sadly: "Uncle has not helped you since you were born, but I have always thought that if I get married, I will definitely give birth to a very cute and sensible son or daughter. Sure enough, you have grown up better than I thought, and I have taught you very well."
Wang Xu sighed: "Okay, stop crying. After dinner, I'll take you to meet my mom and grandma."
Wang Jinlin wiped his face and said, "Eat quickly, eat quickly. Should I bring anything? I didn't prepare anything. I don't know the etiquette. I didn't bring anything to see you. It would be too rude to go to see my sister and mother without bringing anything.
No, I need to go buy some food. You guys eat, I’ll go prepare it first. "
Before Yue Hongming could even open his mouth to call out to him, Wang Jinlin rushed out like a gust of wind.
Wang Xu did not stop him, and Gu Xi was particularly understanding: "He hasn't seen his mother and sister for so long, let him prepare and feel more at ease."
Wang Xu looked at Yue Hongming again: "We are family members recognizing each other, what are you doing as an outsider? Why are you everywhere?"
Yue Hongming... "I didn't expect this to happen. Then I'll leave?"
Wang Xu continued, "No."
Yue Hongming came to his senses and continued to eat: "I won't leave. Don't expect me to make room for you."
Gu Xi looked at Wang Xu with amusement, and Wang Xu's eyes showed that he was really happy to recognize his uncle.
More than an hour later, Wang Jinlin came back with a lot of bags in his hands: "It's not popular to burn paper money now, and we need to get rid of feudal superstitions. I bought your mother and grandmother's favorite snacks and dishes. I'll spend some time with them later."
Wang Xu looked at the fried dough twists and a few other dishes that Wang Jinlin was carrying: "These are all your favorites, right? Every time my mother eats these dishes, she always mentions you, saying that your uncle likes these the most, and the family cooks according to his taste.
She is much older than you, and she is both a sister and a mother to you. She has spent the longest time with you and taking care of you. Gradually, what you like to eat becomes what she likes to eat. "
Wang Jinlin felt like he couldn't wait any longer: "Let's go quickly, don't let your mother wait any longer."
Wang Xu took Wang Jinlin to the graves of his grandmother and mother. Wang Jinlin knelt on the ground and couldn't control his tears anymore.
"Mom, sister, I finally came to see you. I have been looking for you for so long. I am unfilial. I have only just found you now. How could you bear to abandon me? I missed you so much. Why don't you give me a chance to be filial to you?"
Wang Xu couldn't help but burst into tears, but he tried hard not to cry. He knew that his mother and grandmother had been waiting for this moment for too long. But at least it worked out.
Wang Xu gently stepped back a little to allow the family to talk for a while longer.
As long as we keep all the separations in mind, we will meet again one day. The sun shines down on the tomb, like a loved one opening his warm arms to embrace his loved one.
What Wang Jinlin said in front of the grave almost caught up with what he said in the past few years. It always felt like they had been separated for too long and there were so many things he wanted to say.
Wang Xu saw that it was getting dark, so he stepped forward and helped Wang Jinlin up: "Uncle, it's getting late. Let's talk next time. The mountain road will be difficult to walk on after dark."
Wang Jinlin nodded, his legs felt numb from kneeling, luckily Wang Xu helped him and stabilized his body.
"I get nagging when I get older. You must be tired of waiting. I've already recognized it. I'll come by myself tomorrow. You don't have to accompany me."
