Chapter 143
The mother of the man on the blind date saw Wei Ming's family, and there wasn't even a single patch on their clothes. The two men were even wearing leather shoes, and her eyes lit up.
But then again, they came by jeep, so they must not be ordinary people!
I really didn't expect that the poor Xu family, which was ringing with poverty, actually had such wealthy relatives!
She smiled and went up to call Xu Cunmao "in-law," and also asked him to introduce Xu Shufen.
Xu Cunmao was just about to speak, but Xu Shufen had already run to the old lady of the Xu family, knelt down directly, and hugged her leg.
After a "Mother!", there was endless sobbing.
This scene made Wei Ming's eyes a little moist. In this life, he finally let his mother see her mother.
Although it cost hundreds of yuan to make this trip, isn't that the meaning of making money?
If he could let his father see his father again... Wei Ming clenched his fists, feeling that living a new life, besides realizing his personal ambitions, also meant letting his loved ones' lives have no regrets. This is an effective rebirth.
Next, the grandmother, mother, and eldest aunt started chatting enthusiastically. They had too much to say, but for a moment, they didn't know where to start.
Xu Shufen wiped her tears, "Let's introduce them."
Then, Wei Jiefang, Wei Ming, and Wei Hong also met with several elders, including the aunt who was working silently.
As for the people on the blind date side, the grandmother was too lazy to pay attention to them. She could hold a grudge.
Fortunately, they had learned Sichuan-Chongqing dialect from their mother before, so the three surnamed Wei could barely communicate normally with their grandmother and others, but Lao Lao Lao Wei's ability to show off was limited by the language problem.
The grandmother almost had to look up to see Wei Ming. She clicked her tongue in wonder, "What do you eat? How did you grow so tall!"
Wei Ming grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Grandmother, I'm 1.83 meters."
In order to give his grandmother an intuitive feeling of his height, Wei Ming took two steps back and happened to stand next to the man on the blind date.
The contrast between less than 1.6 meters and 1.83 meters was tragic, a whole head shorter. Plus, Wei Ming's clothes were decent, his figure was tall and straight, and his temperament was elegant, making the man on the blind date look like a child, and a sneaky little brat at that.
Xu Yunyun originally felt that the man on the blind date was not bad. Although he was shorter than her, he looked good, and the key was that his mouth was sweet. Now he promised to treat her well for a lifetime, making Yunyun, who was just beginning to fall in love, feel that he was very sincere.
However, seeing him standing with Cousin Ming at this time, she only felt that he was so far away from the standard of excellence.
The man on the blind date was even more uncomfortable standing with Wei Ming. In their ten-mile and eight-village area, there was no one so tall. The key was that this dress and temperament made people too uncomfortable. He had already taken out his best clothes for today's meeting, but next to Wei Ming, he felt like a beggar.
He wanted to avoid Wei Ming, but wherever he went, Wei Ming followed. Long Xiaoyang watched happily, "Cousin, are you doing this on purpose or intentionally?"
Wei Ming: "Is my performance so obvious?"
This boy is not bad. If his mother had died earlier, Wei Ming might have ignored it for the sake of the three nephews and nieces who hadn't been born yet. However, a mama's boy can never pass his mother's hurdle, so he can only take action. After all, it concerns a girl's lifelong happiness. What a great merit this is.
The man on the blind date, who originally wanted to stay here for a meal, hurriedly pulled his mother, who was approaching Xu Shufen and wanted to say a few words to her.
"Mother, let's go."
"Go? Go where? Your future wife's family has relatives here. Can you have some insight and help do some work?" Although she didn't say a few words just now, she saw the fountain pen in Xu Shufen's husband's pocket and the leather shoes under his feet. He was clearly a state cadre!
And that little girl, the thing hanging around her neck seemed to be a camera!
If she could climb up to such an uncle-in-law, maybe her own son could also eat commodity grain!
Wei Jiefang smoked and looked up at the sky: "Sigh, the world has too many misunderstandings about me!"
The man on the blind date ignored his mother and wanted to leave. Xu Cunmao also spoke at this time, letting everyone disperse. He hadn't prepared so much food.
He also faced the mother of the man on the blind date directly, "Sorry, we have more important things in our family today. Let's talk about the marriage another day. You go back first."
"Oh, family reunion is really moving. I want to stay and help."
"No need, go back first." Xu Cunmao's attitude was firm. It was awkward to have outsiders in the house at this time.
The secretary and his wife both left. Before leaving, Wei Ming asked Long Xiaoyang to call Old Brother Wan from the brigade headquarters to come over for dinner.
Seeing that Xu Cunmao said so, and seeing that his son had run away early, the other party had no choice but to take people away.
However, the matchmaker looked at Wei Ming and didn't want to leave. She even leaned in front of Wei Jiefang and asked, "Does your son want to marry a local wife? I know all the beautiful girls in the ten-mile and eight-village area!"
Lao Lao Lao Wei smiled indifferently, "Don't bother, sister. My son has even talked to foreign girls. He can make his own decisions about his marriage. We parents won't interfere."
The matchmaker had a head full of question marks?
What the hell, even talked to foreign women? Is your son's thing made of gold or silver?
Finally, the matchmaker also shook her sleeves and left. She had been busy for a long time and didn't get a single candy. Bad luck!
Long Xiaoyang followed Secretary Wang Cai and his wife to the brigade headquarters. Along the way, he pestered the two and asked, "Did Second Aunt and the others really come by car? Is my Second Uncle a big official?"
Secretary Wang Cai: "Coming from the north, it should be from Yanjing. Eight out of ten, it's true. Maybe it's a second generation."
Worthy of being a branch secretary, although Secretary Wang Cai's name is a bit dull, he still has insight. Before, he had seen young second and third generations come here to find pandas, and their temperament and conversation were not as good as Wei Ming's.
Cai Feng sighed, "I also went out to flee from famine back then. You say, why is Shufen so lucky!"
Secretary Wang Cai ridiculed, "You don't look in the mirror. Do you have Shufen's appearance?"
Cai Feng retorted, "I wasn't bad when I was young. It's just that following you tired me out. Thinking that I gave birth to five children for you makes me feel uncomfortable. Five! " "Isn't it because you always want it? Otherwise, could there be five!"
"Oh, it's really tough to talk after pulling up your pants!"
Aunt Cai Feng is a woman who can really say "Laozi Shudaoshan." Seeing that the two were about to fight, Long Xiaoyang was afraid of splashing blood on himself.
Long Xiaoyang walked a few steps faster and came to the brigade headquarters. He finally saw the legendary jeep. I heard that driving this thing to Rongcheng is only a matter of two or three hours!
"You are Old Brother Wan, right? My cousin asked me to call you to go home for dinner," he knocked on the car window and said after seeing Old Wan, "My brother is Wei Ming."
Old Wan smiled. So that means they found them.
He was still a bit worried about this public car, but seeing that Secretary Secretary Wang Cai had returned, he handed the car over to him to help watch it.
The other party said, "Leader, don't worry. I definitely won't let anyone get close!"
At the same time, Old Wan also pulled two bags and a bucket out of the car and asked Long Xiaoyang to carry them together.
"This is?"
Old Wan: "A bag of rice, a bag of flour, and a bucket of oil."
!
Not knowing how many days his family would stay here, Wei Ming was worried that his grandmother's family couldn't handle the food for so many people, so he bought these things when he was in Rongcheng.
Long Xiaoyang calculated the price of these things, and his body was suddenly full of strength.
On the way, he couldn't help asking, "Old Brother Wan, what does my Second Uncle actually do?"
Old Wan: "Your Second Uncle? Oh, Uncle Lao Lao Lao Wei, he's just a farmer."
When Long Xiaoyang was asking, Xu Shufen also learned from her eldest sister what was going on with Long Xiaoyang.
It turned out that her eldest sister's first husband didn't survive those years. Long Xiaoyang was born to her and her second husband, and they only had this one child in their family.
Xu Shufen tightly hugged her eldest sister, who was choking with sobs, because she remembered that when they fled from famine 20 years ago, her eldest sister was already pregnant.
She didn't know if it was born and didn't stay, or if it didn't come to this world at all. She didn't dare to ask. That must be the most unforgettable scar in her eldest sister's heart. How could she bear to uncover it?
Afterward, they talked about their little sister again. One month after Xu Shufen got lost, when they went to Shancheng to beg for food, they were chased by a group of local beggars. After a chaotic escape, they could never find their little sister again. They waited in Shancheng for a long time but couldn't find anyone.
Speaking of this, her mother and eldest brother whispered in annoyance and tears. She was only ten years old at that time. How could she live alone?
Because her little aunt was young, even if it was her grandmother and uncle, they had always held hope of seeing Xu Shufen again, but they had almost given up on this little daughter. Even if she survived, she probably wouldn't remember her home and family.
Wei Ming said, "Mother, there seem to be clues about Little Aunt in those reader letters."
"Oh, right!" Xu Shufen took out a pile of letters from her bag, all of which were clues provided by enthusiastic readers.
Basically, they were all about a Sichuan-Chongqing woman who came to a certain place in a certain year, how old she was, and what she looked like.
A few of them sounded quite plausible, but these locations were all over the country. It was impossible to run through them all in a short time.
Eldest sister Xu Shuxiang looked at these letters strangely, not knowing what these so-called "reader letters" were about.
Now that transportation and communication are underdeveloped, it is too difficult to find Little Aunt. These options can only be visited in one place this time.
Wei Ming pulled out a letter and said, "This letter from Yuxi, Yunnan, is more in line with Little Aunt's situation. I think I'll just go over and see for myself."
This time, he wouldn't take his parents and Xiao Hong. Let them reunite at his grandmother's house and enjoy family happiness.
At this time, Uncle said, "You haven't seen your little aunt. What if you can't confirm it? How about this: I'll go with you!"
Over the years, Xu Cunmao had several opportunities to go to Rongcheng and Shancheng. Every time, he would stay for a few days to ask about the news of his two sisters. Not being able to bring them back would become a lifelong heart disease.
At this time, Old Brother Wan and Long Xiaoyang also returned. Seeing those grains and oil, Xu Cunmao was very embarrassed, and at the same time, the stone in his heart fell to the ground. Finally, he didn't have to borrow money or grain.
And hearing that his cousin and uncle were going to Yunnan to find someone, Long Xiaoyang was active.
"Brother, you must take me with you. I also want to go out and see the world!"
On the way, he had already inquired clearly. The one with real ability in his Second Aunt's family is this brother, his own brother!
