"Well, you said... Big Brother, I just wanted to let the children come over to see their brothers. We haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. They are blood relatives. How could I let them all come when my own brothers haven't even visited? I didn't expect to cause trouble for you."
My uncle seemed to feel guilty, and his expression was a little gloomy.
"Brother, why did seeing this child remind me of us? We haven't seen each other for more than 20 years." As he said this, tears came down.
Mr. Lei finally softened his heart, after all, he was his own brother.
My younger brother was born with a weak body and was very sickly. We were afraid that we wouldn't be able to raise him, so we named him Ergou, hoping that the humble name would help him survive.
Compared to him, his parents really didn't pay much attention to his second brother. At that time, his life was in danger and his health was not good, which meant that he would become a burden and might die at any time.
Therefore, his parents placed all their hopes for the family on him. Since one son had already suffered such a fate, the other one had to be saved.
Later, a drought hit his hometown, and the family had only enough food to feed one child. It was obvious that if he didn't leave, his younger brother would definitely be abandoned, so he chose to leave home.
He was lucky, as he joined the army by accident. Thanks to his courage, he really embarked on a different life path.
When I met my family again, it was twenty years later. My mother had grown old and my younger brother had left home.
Before his parents died, they held his hand, hoping that he would continue to take care of his younger brother's family.
So over the years, he gradually transferred his brother's family from their hometown to the capital and found suitable jobs for them.
I also hope that my brother's family will become better and better.
Although he was not rich, he had a respectable job in the city.
He believed that as an older brother he had done his best.
As for the rest, they had to rely on themselves. It was impossible for him to do everything for them.
"Oh, I don't blame you, but I didn't expect the kids to take time off to come here. It seems like they really have big plans."
How could there be more than 20 people, big and small, old and young, all going to someone else's house for dinner? Even Mr. Lei himself wouldn't believe that they didn't have the mentality of taking advantage.
"Well, we're brothers, so we have to get to know each other."
He looked at An Jianjun and said, "My nephew, now that your whole family is here, what are your plans?" The old man turned his attention to An Jianjun.
An Jianjun has no feelings for this old man, and he will not be bound by family ties like Mr. Lei.
"Let's not worry for now. My wife is more important." An Jianjun said, and it was as if he hadn't said anything. He used a little force to achieve a great result.
"You kid, as men, how can we rely on women? Don't you have any ideas at all?" The old man still didn't give up and wanted to test whether the eldest brother had any special arrangements for this grandson.
"Uncle, please don't bother with this kind of thing."
"This...this child, big brother, you don't care about him?" He didn't believe that his big brother would ignore his grandson who had been missing for more than 20 years.
"I'm old now. My child has his own ideas. I don't worry about him anymore. Besides, with Jianjun's resume, he will have no problem getting a job anywhere."
"Jianjun served in the army for eight years. When he was injured and discharged, he had reached the rank of battalion commander. He performed exceptionally well in combat and later retired as deputy chief of the security department at one of the nation's leading steel mills. He'll be fine wherever he goes, so I'm not worried."
Mr. Lei accidentally showed off his grandson.
The meaning is very clear. My grandson is very capable and can do a good job on his own. It is also an indirect way to tell him not to think about other things.
"Haha... This child is so outstanding, there's no need to worry about his career." The old man's cheeks twitched.
"Jianjun, right? Jianjun, you should change your name back. You may not know that your original name was Lei Yiming." The old lady was unwilling to be lonely and started to give random advice again.
Old Master Lei frowned slightly and glanced at the man who was chatting with Meng Xuanting. "The name is just a code name, no big deal. There's no need to change it. We've been calling him that for so many years. Why change it? He's still my grandson no matter what he's called."
"Haha, that's right, Jianjun. The house you live in now is quite big. Your family can't fit it all. Why don't you rent out a few rooms and earn some money every month?" Lei Xiaoxue took the opportunity to change the subject and shifted the focus to the house.
The abacus beads are broken all over the floor. What is going on?
"I don't have that plan. Besides, how would you know that our house won't be full?" An Jianjun asked back.
"This...is there any need to ask? How many people are there in your family? There are so many people in our family, dozens of people or so, but the space we live in is not as big as yours. It would be a waste if this house is too big." Lei Xiaoxue had been thinking about that house for a long time.
Not only their family, but many families are also thinking about that house.
Nowadays, it is not uncommon for a family of more than a dozen people to squeeze into one room. Who wouldn't want to live in a more spacious place?
Especially since there is a son in this family who has no place to sleep, that girl would be willing to marry into the family.
"I have quite a few family members. Besides, my grandpa and parents will definitely come to stay with me often. This is a normal house, how can it be wasted?" An Jianjun could see what they were planning. They actually set their sights on their house.
Lei Xiaoxue, who was speechless after being rebuked by An Jianjun, looked at Old Man Lei with grievance, "Uncle, can you help me? My two kids are about to get married, but we only have two rooms at home. This...this can't be arranged."
"Xiaoxue, how can you trouble your uncle in this situation? Our whole family is squeezed into a small yard, and we still live like this." The old man might as well not say this.
"Well, there's really nothing I can do in this situation. I'm a retired old man, and I can't do the work for you. If you do your job well, you will get a big house." Grandpa Lei's face was already very unhappy.
As soon as they heard this, the expressions of my uncle and his family changed.
Now that I have found my own grandson, I am willing to continue helping them.
