The room is quiet, only the fragrance of tea.
Song Xintong sat on the chair with a dignified face. He couldn't believe listening to the story told by the middle-aged man sitting opposite. It was too dramatic.
The middle-aged man said sadly, "we have been looking for Xiuer for nearly 20 years, but we haven't found her. If we didn't see you... You and Xiuer are really like each other, really like each other."
"You have proof." Song Xintong thought it was too dramatic. This man said that he was her uncle and her mother's brother. He said that they lived in a small village in Jingzhou. That winter, they went to the market and the whole family went to the city to buy new year's goods. There were too many people. The young mother was abducted and ran away. They searched for a long time, but they didn't find anyone.
Later, the he family's mulberry trees were good, sold at a good price, and began to do business. They specialized in supplying silkworms to the merchants. Later, they raised their own silkworms. Later, the business gradually expanded, and they would look everywhere when they walked.
"There's evidence." The middle-aged man took out a jade pendant and said, "Xiuer should have one."
Lu Yunkai took the jade pendant and looked at it. The pattern on it is the same as the one his wife put in the box. The texture is the same. It should be a pair.
After reading it, he handed it to song Xintong.
Song Xintong looked as like as two peas, but she was still puzzled. "Why do you say that the family is poor, and that the mulberry tree is the silkworm to make a living?"
She was still worried that someone had done a play. Seeing that their family was rich now, she deliberately planned such a play.
He Wei, a middle-aged man, said, "my mother is also your grandmother. She is a common daughter in the town. She is literate and has a meager dowage. Your grandfather is the son of an old member of the he family. Although she is a farmer, she is also a rich family."
"If you don't believe it, send someone to Hejia village, Guanshan County, Jingzhou to inquire."
"In addition, my mother's birthday, my mother has other distinguishing place?" In fact, song Xintong believed it in her heart, because she felt a little kind when she looked at the middle-aged man. She had it on the boat, but she was afraid because he was too eager at that time.
"Your mother was born in the year of Ding you, Renzi month, the day of Ding Hai, the ninth day of November." "There is a scar on the back of her right hand, which was scratched on a stone when she was young," he said
There are scars.
Song Xintong's memory is such a period, the mother said that the scar is a child fell, so it is really right.
But why didn't my mother go home after she got away?
What's more, my mother knows how to write and how to be polite. She's not a fool. How can she not go back?
It's not far from Lingnan to Jingzhou. It only takes three days to go by boat. If my mother is a trafficker, she should be eager to go home. Moreover, after she goes back with my father, she doesn't say that she wants to go back to her mother's home, which is unreasonable.
Song Xintong doubts, asked.
He Wei sighed and said, "at the beginning, the family decided a marriage for Xiuer, but Xiuer didn't want to..."
Lu Yunkai looks at He Wei and suspects that his mother-in-law left by herself? Or was he abducted? From what he said, why would his mother-in-law not be willing to choose the right man at that time?
"Your grandfather is a bigoted person. If Xiuer doesn't want to, she will break her leg and fix the wedding date in the next year. When Xiuer comes to your village, she doesn't dare to go home," he said
"He went a few years ago. He was still reading Xiuer before he died. I regret it." He Wei looked at Song Xintong and said happily, "now I've finally found you, and he can close his eyes."
Song Xintong didn't know what happened at the beginning. His mother didn't say it and his father didn't say it. He only knew that his mother would occasionally hold her and sit in the yard looking at the distant mountain. Maybe he was thinking of getting married.
"I was so excited when I saw that you and Xiuer were very similar on the boat that day. But I didn't come down directly because I had something to do to go to Texas. I just asked familiar customers to help me find out." He Wei said happily, "can you take me to see your mother? I want to take you back to Jingzhou as soon as possible to see your grandmother. She is getting worse and worse."
Song Xintong felt a little uncomfortable at the bottom of her heart. She pursed her lips and didn't know how to open her mouth.
Lu Yunkai gently took her hand, and then said to He Wei, "my mother-in-law died eight years ago."
"What?" Howie was shocked, and his face changed. "What's the matter? How could she... "
"My mother-in-law was in poor health after her brother-in-law was in bed for a few months and then went to bed." Lu Yun said.
"Xiu'er..." He Wei sobbed, "how could it be like this... How could it be like this... Brother a is not good. If only I had found you earlier..."
Song Xintong's eyes were red, and he felt very sad when he looked at the clouds.
Lu Yunkai gently touched her head, "you should be happy, mother-in-law's family found, after more relatives love you."
"It's enough that I have you." Song Xintong said low.
Lu Yunkai clenched her hand, "I, my mother, and them."
"Well." Song Xintong sniffed and looked at Hewei, a big man who was crying bitterly. She could feel the sadness in his heart. There was no fraud or acting. As he said, he and his mother's brother and sister were very good.
It took a long time for everyone to calm down.
He Wei said: "our Hejia village is a village with a big surname. They all raise mulberry and silkworms. Most of the silk in Dazhou comes from Jingzhou. In the past, Xiuer raised all the silkworms at home. She raised them very well. Raising silkworms is a delicate job. If you are not careful, it's easy to get bad. She raised them well. "
"She used to like picking mulberry leaves in the back mountain, making mulberry leaf tea and mulberry leaf cakes, and running around. In the past, your grandfather and grandmother always held her to embroider and weave at home, but she couldn't sit still."
......
He Wei recalled the previous scene and talked about it for an hour or two until it was almost dark. Song Xintong was also fascinated by it. His impression that his mother should be a person who dares to love and hate and a woman who doesn't want to be bound, but she was finally detained in the small grave bag in Taohua village.
The more He Wei looks at his niece, the more he likes it. Along with wennuan and Lu Yunkai, he is also pleased with his eyes. Although Lu Yunkai has scars on his face, he is really full of people. He will soon go to the capital to take part in the examination, and he has a bright future.
How nice!
Howie nodded with satisfaction, much better than the three useless sons and grandchildren in the family.
He Wei's eyes were burning at Song Xintong. After hesitation, he asked, "Xintong, can you call me uncle Sheng?"
