Chapter 853

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then, the voice switched to the Shangjun dialect and asked hesitantly: "Are you really Dali?"

Hou Dali said: "It's Dali. Are you Third Uncle?"

Hou Guangbi on the other side of the phone said: "I am your Third Uncle!"

After saying this, Hou Guangbi burst into tears. Hou Dali on this side also sobbed loudly, and his wife was also wiping away tears on the side.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xiancai and Su Xinghui's eyes also moistened. The uncle and nephew hadn't seen each other for forty-five years, and they hadn't had news of each other. Now that they were talking to each other suddenly, it was understandable no matter how they vented their emotions.

After crying for a minute or two, Hou Dali said chokingly: "Third Uncle, are you in good health?"

Hou Guangbi said: "My health is still sturdy. Is your whole family well?"

Hou Dali said: "My whole family is well."

Hou Guangbi said: "Did Mayor Su tell you my contact information?"

Hou Dali said: "Yes, I am calling you from the County United Front Work Department now, and Mayor Su is right behind me."

Hou Guangbi said solemnly: "Dali, Mayor Su is the benefactor of our Hou family. Without him, I could not have gotten in touch with you. Perhaps this would have been a lifelong regret for me. You must thank Mayor Su well."

Hou Dali said: "I will definitely thank him well."

Hou Guangbi said: "By the way, your brother Hou my lord is also in Paris."

Hou Dali was both surprised and happy: "Really? My brother is also in Paris?"

Hou Guangbi told the twists and turns. It turned out that Hou my lord fled to Hong Kong during the period of turmoil, tossed and turned overseas for more than ten years, and finally found the Hou family in France. He also married and had children overseas, and with the help of the Hou family, he started a family and a career. Now he also has several children.

This news also surprised and delighted Hou Dali. During that period of turmoil, his parents passed away one after another due to serious illness, and Hou my lord's wife drew a line with him, took their children and left, and their whereabouts were unknown. Hou my lord took a strange risk and smuggled himself overseas. Hou Dali didn't know if he had succeeded.

After all, smuggling is a matter of life and death. Having had no news of him for so many years, Hou Dali just assumed he had died long ago. Now that he had suddenly received news of him, the agitation in his heart was imaginable.

Hearing Hou Guangbi's words, Su Xinghui finally understood why Hou Guangbi didn't ask about the life or death of his brother Hou Guangji when he called yesterday. Of course, he learned the news of Hou Guangji through Hou my lord.

However, Hou my lord went overseas under such circumstances. The negative impact he brought to Hou Guangbi and others must have been greater, giving Hou Guangbi greater concerns.

After all, that period of turmoil was too terrifying. Under the blockade of news for so many years, who knows what the situation is in the country now? Even in the era of such developed internet twenty years later, don't many foreigners still have prejudices against China?

Hou Dali said: "My big brother is still alive and has children. That's really great! That's really great!"

Hou Guangbi sighed endlessly: "He also suffered many hardships before he could come to France. It was a life-and-death experience! Listening to what he said, I can't imagine how he survived." ===== CHAPTER 855 =====
