In fact, as a younger generation, most of them only pay attention to their own parents. If the grandparents are no longer born, the degree of difficulty is limited, or even non-existent.

Since childhood, Ren Junran has hardly heard anything about his grandfather and grandmother from his parents. Of course, he has never actively asked about it. He has never seen his father since he was a child. He grew up with his widowed mother and worries about his mother every day. Physical health, as well as work and life accounted for Ren Junran's everything. After he graduated, he stayed at school to teach. His mother never enjoyed the blessing for several years. He passed away within half a year of his marriage.

Had it not been for this time to see the iron box left by his mother, and to see that his father had to write a letter from his family that would not be mailed out almost every New Year's Eve these years, he might not have thought of looking for his grandfather in his life.

Many elderly villagers in Xiangshan Village learned about his grandfather Ren Yongjia. Ren Junran knew that Ren’s ancestor was also considered a famous family. Although not a historical minister or ancient genius, he was also a famous medical family. In some historical books of the Qing Dynasty, you can also see the Ren family's words and phrases, and even some medical works can also see the name of the Ren family.

On the return journey, Ren Junran was a little confused.

Jiang Xiuqing was holding her husband's hand, and she couldn't calm down.

Today his grandfather is still alive, and they have heard of this person a little bit. First of all, the Xu family is very famous in the imperial capital. Now, the person who is called the old medicine uncle by many people in Xiangshan Village is now living with the Xu family. Together.

"After I go back, do you want to bring something to visit?" she asked softly.

Ren Junran could not respond to his wife, he did not know how to decide.

Originally, I only thought that my grandfather must be dead. They returned to Xiangshan Village just thinking of worshipping, and burning the family letter written by their father in those years to the grandfather who had never met before.

Many things he heard exceeded his expectations and imagination.

Unexpectedly, the old man is still alive and married an old lady from the same village. He has been living in the imperial capital for more than 20 years.

And the people in the village, although they didn't say clearly that his father was not, it was not difficult to tell in the peace that, in the hearts of some elderly people in the village, his father was a stubborn donkey and a white-eyed wolf.

Even an unfilial son!

Ren Junran is not the kind of blind person. Knowing his father's past, he also felt that his father did something wrong, but he ran away from home after a fight with his grandfather and never returned.

Parents and children, how can they not quarrel, if anyone quarrels, they must run away from home and never return...

They are now parents, and they can understand the mood of their grandfather back then.

Thinking about it, I feel sad for the old man.

In order to find his son, he was thrown into the rain of bullets and bullets with his medicine box on his back. Finally, with a stubborn leg, he returned to the small village alone.

The couple went to see the old house that was already dilapidated. The house looked tidy, but it was definitely not comfortable. The furniture in the house was pitiful, and they didn’t know whether it was moved away or not. .

However, seeing the introduction of Xu's family in business magazines and the Internet, I wanted to come to the life of my grandfather, which was originally so tight.

Moreover, in the village, most of the time is spent treating the villagers for nothing, and if they have headaches, they will be given some medicines whenever they come. Many medicinal materials are placed in their yards.

"Go back and have a look." Grandfather's life is very happy now, he doesn't know if he should bother.

Ren Junran was not afraid that after others knew, he said that he would go to Xujiapan relatives. After all, who he and his wife are, it is good for them to understand by themselves. This may be the so-called "close-family cowardice."

Jiang Xiuqing understood her husband's feelings and didn't say much, just quietly staying by her side.

After returning home to repair for two days, taking advantage of Sunday, Ren Junran finally took the iron box and prepared to go to Xu's family to visit his grandfather, whom he had never met.

Jiang Xiuqing knows her husband too well. She prepared all the gifts for visiting relatives early. It's not a valuable thing. After all, thinking about the Xu family's current ability, the old man lacks everything, and she is even richer than them. How many times, this is all Jiang Xiuqing prepared carefully.

"Do you think we can bring these?" she said to her husband.

Ren Junran nodded, "I can rest assured that you do things."

Jiang Xiuqing pursed his lips and smiled lightly, and then went to greet the two children to quickly put on new clothes.

They gave birth to two children after their marriage. Their daughter was 19 years old this year and had just been admitted to the Department of Biology of Huaqing University this year. The son was 11 years old this year, in the sixth grade of primary school, and was in the middle school attached to the Imperial University.

The two children are very sensible, perhaps because their parents are both university professors, have formal and scientific methods of learning, and have been excellent since childhood.

Ren Mingzong was young and not very sensible, but Ren Yue is now an adult, and he was shocked to learn that his great-grandfather was actually the step-grandfather of Xu Ning and Xu Rui.

"Mom, did you and Dad make a mistake?" she asked in a low voice.

In fact, she has asked this sentence many times, and she always finds it unrealistic.

"Probably not. My father and I went to Xiangshan Village a few days ago. It was the old man in the village who told us that. Your grandpa's letter also wrote very clearly. It is unlikely to be mistaken. Besides, if it is wrong. There is no loss to us. We went to Xu's family to admit our relatives, not to take advantage." Jiang Xiuqing looked at his daughter and thought about his son, feeling very proud.

"Great-grandfather is living very well now, does he think it doesn't matter whether he recognizes us or not?"

"Don't be fooled by yourself." She shook her head disapprovingly, "Your great grandfather was just a son like your grandfather. Back then, your grandfather ran away from home. In order to find this only son, he resolutely left his hometown and plunged into the war-torn world. In the middle, it can be seen that I was worried about it. Later, it was only because I was beaten to mutilate a leg, that I could not return to my hometown."

Seeing her daughter thinking, Jiang Xiuqing continued: "Let’s visit relatives this time, just to talk to his old man, let him know that Ren’s family is still there, and our family’s life is very good, even though Xu’s family is indeed rich and honorable. , But compared to most people, our family’s life is also very prosperous. With a new house to live in, you and your brother don’t have any trouble going to school, don’t they?"

Ren Yue is also a proud girl, perhaps Ren's family have such temperaments.

It was only when she heard what her mother said that she relaxed a little.

The family was properly cleaned up. Jiang Xiuqing came out of his son's room and saw her husband standing in front of the full-length mirror in the hallway, playing with that short hair, which was obviously very good.

She stepped forward and picked up various gifts in the living room, and asked her son and daughter to help with the rest, "I'm already very handsome, let's go quickly, do you want to step on the meal to go to someone's house?"

Ren Junran straightened his tie, turned his head and took the gift box from his children, and the family went downstairs.

They also have an ordinary private car, which was bought by Ren Junran with a loan. They usually drive to and from work with his wife and pick up his son by the way.

On the way, Ren Junran's expression was serious, the closer he was to the Xu family's old house, the more nervous he was, but he couldn't see it.

Jiang Xiuqing also sighed in his heart. After 20 years of marriage with her, he couldn't understand his thoughts, and now his palms are sweating nervously.

Thanks to the jacket of the steering wheel bag, otherwise he could drive the car into the green belt on the side of the road.

The Xu family was very lively at this time, and Xie Zheng's family was also here. Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and the Imperial Capital is especially cool and dry.

The four elderly people gathered together, thinking that after a while, they would simply go to the Haicheng Villa for a winter holiday, stay for three or two months, and wait until the end of the year to come back.

Now the days are better and the children are getting older. In addition to going to the elderly community to dance and play chess, the rest of their time is eating, drinking and having fun. In the past few years, they have spared time to live in Haicheng every year. Although the body is very healthy, the winter in the imperial capital is really difficult. Every year from this day to the beginning of spring next year, I really want to stay at home and not go out.

Haicheng is very mild throughout the year, and down jackets can’t be worn in winter. It’s perfect for them to go there on vacation.

At this moment, everyone gathered in the living room to chat, and the four old people got together and talked about going to Haicheng.

Then, they heard the barking sound of Huihui and Doudou, and the two dogs barked very arrogantly.

Hearing the sound, Xu Rui got up and walked out of the living room. He saw a white car parked in front of his house, and then a man got out of the car. He looked very elegant, but his face was very serious.

"Who are you looking for?" Xu Rui came to the door, looked at the four people who got out of the car, and saw that this was a family.

Huihui and Doudou, standing beside Xu Rui, looked up at the outsider standing in front of their house.

Ren Junran looked at Xu Rui, and Ren Yue behind him had big eyes. This young man looked really good. Although he was wearing a simple casual outfit, he appeared to be tall and handsome and extremely noble.

"We want to ask, is there an old man named Ren Yongjia living here?" Ren Junran asked.

Xu Rui nodded, "Yes, are you looking for my grandfather?"

"That's it. My name is Ren Junran, Ren Yongjia's grandson and Ren Guyan's son, so..."

Xu Rui's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. He heard his parents and grandparents talk about Ren's family. The old man used to talk about Ren's family, and he was full of sorrow. At that time, he would always stroke the broken leg.

The whole family knows that the old man always has a thought in his heart, that is the son who ran away from home that year, but it has been decades, everyone thinks that the man will never appear again, but who would have thought about it today Someone came to confess.

"A few of you, please come in with me." Xu Rui smiled. The smile was not noticeable at all, but he didn't dare to make people presumptuous.

Seeing their family carrying so many things, Xu Rui stepped forward to help some of them, and then led them into the house.

When he entered the house, Xu Rui observed the family. They didn't look around. At first glance, they were excellent tutors.

Pushing open the door of the living room, Xu Rui shouted at Old Uncle Yao, "Grandpa!"

"Huh?" Old Uncle Yao looked up and saw the people coming in with Xu Rui. He didn't think much at first, "Are guests here?"

Xu Rui didn't say anything else, turned his head and smiled at Ren Junran.

Ren Junran stepped forward and looked at the old man who was over a hundred years old, but still full of energy, and smiled at the corners of his lips.

"Hello, may I ask if you are Ren Yongjia? There is a son named Ren Guyan whose breast name is Xiao Shitou."

Old Uncle Yao's expression froze at the time. Looking at the man in front of him, the corners of his lips trembled, and his eyes slowly turned red.

"right!"

Ren Junran greeted his wife and two children, and bowed deeply to the old man, "I am Ren Guyan's son, Ren Junran, and your grandson!"

"Really?" Old Uncle Yao's voice became light and fluttering.

The whole family watched this scene, and several elderly people nearby began to wipe their tears.

To be honest, they hated the old Uncle Yao's son, that child is really his wife and ignorant.

Ren Junran handed up the mother's relic, the rusty iron box, and opened the lid.

"This is what I found when I was packing up my mother's belongings. It contains 36 letters written by my father on New Year's Eve and March 16 each year."

When the old lady heard it, she felt a tear in her eyes and choked up: "March 16 is Old Man Yao's birthday."

The Ren Junran's family then understood. Before they were wondering, it is understandable to write a family letter on New Year's Eve. Is March 16 a special day?

I suspected it before, but now it is certain.

Old Uncle Yao took the iron box with trembling hands, looked at the yellowed letter inside, just glanced at the words on the envelope, and the old man could be sure that it was indeed his son Xiao Shitou's handwriting, exactly the same as his font. When Xiao Shitou was five years old, he taught his son how to calligraphy hand in hand.

The old man opened the envelope, looked at the words inside, and seemed to be immersed in it quickly.

Xu Ning got up and greeted the family to sit down first.

"Don't stand up, sit down. Grandpa reads the letter. It may take a while before he gets over."

The content of the letter is very simple and unpretentious. It is almost always written about something that happens every year, but at the end of each letter, there will be such a sentence.

—Father, his son is not filial, and he knows his mistakes.

Ren Guyan, the word is right.

This name was given to him by Old Medicine Uncle, and it was taken from a passage from Zhongyong.

Acting Gu Yan, words and deeds, gentleman Hu Buyinger!

The old Uncle Yao, who had never shed tears in front of others, read these thirty-six letters almost in tears at this time.

The old lady panicked distressed, and kept pulling papers to wipe the tears of the old man.

Elder Jiang and his wife also picked up the letters that Old Uncle Yao had read, and cried as they read them.

"This child is really scary!" Gao Xiulan's crying eyes were red, "I knew it was wrong, why didn't you want to come back?"

Because several old people were in tears, the other juniors in the family also knew the bitterness of Old Uncle Yao's heart, and now they saw the successors of Ren's family, their eyes were red.

Xu Ning pressed the corner of her eye with a tissue, "Where do you live now?"

Jiang Xiuqing choked and took a sip from his teacup, "We live in Fanghuayuan on Qingjiang Road. Jun Ran and I are now teaching at the University of Foreign Languages."

"Aren't they all living in the imperial capital." Qin Xuejuan choked twice. "You guys, hey! If your mother had gone to the village to find someone earlier that year, she would have been reunited with the old man. Now she has lived in the imperial capital for dozens of years. Years, but I have never encountered it."

"Even if they meet, I'm afraid they will never know each other."

"How old is the child?" Xu Jianjun has been a high-ranking official over the years, but he is also a gentle and elegant man.

"Daughter is nineteen this year, and has just passed the Huaqing Department of Biology this year. His son is 11 years old and is still in the sixth grade of elementary school. He will be promoted to junior high school next year."

"They are all good children at first glance." Qin Xuejuan said with a smile.

Old Uncle Yao read the letters roughly and put them in the box again, only then did he realize that his grandson is still here.

The old lady thoughtfully wanted them to talk in the room upstairs, but the old uncle Yao shook her head and refused.

In his opinion, his grandchildren and step-grandchildren are both his good children. There is no closeness and closeness. If you really talk about closeness, Xu Ning and Xu Rui, who have been seen by him since they were young, are better than this one who just met. If you are a grandson, you have to be kind.

"When did your dad not have it?"

"When I was silent, I died of illness." Ren Junran replied, "But my mother always talks to me about my father, saying that he is very talented and a good person."

"Yeah!" Old Uncle Yao nodded his head in a daze, "It was so cruel to me, the old man back then, and he never looked back as soon as he left."

These letters, no matter how much it is to write, it took more than seventy years to see them, and it only adds to the grief.
