Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

After stopping to watch for a while, Bian Jie continued to move up the mountain.

More than 20 years later, he stepped onto this hillside again, as if everything was the same as it was 20 years ago, nothing had changed.

Climbing all the way, Bian Jie followed the route he remembered and finally found the house he remembered.

All he saw was a desolate ruin covered with weeds.

How did this place become like this?

Bian Jie clearly remembered that Zhuang Moxue had said more than once that this house carried all her good memories. This was her home, and home was very important to her.

But at this moment, this place is desolate and there is nothing left.

The secretary looked at Bian Jie and guessed that his boss must have been here before, but there was nothing here now.

Bian Jie walked into the wasteland. There was nothing there except weeds, soil and stones.

He also saw that the house must have collapsed for many years before it became what it is now.

After staying for a moment, Bian Jie suddenly remembered something, and then walked quickly into a forest.

"Leader!" Seeing this, the secretary hurriedly chased after him with the driver.

The forest was dark and it was easy to get lost. Bian Jie walked and searched in the forest, but he couldn't find the place he remembered after a long time.

"Leader, all the pine trees in this forest look the same. If you want to find a place, it's better to call someone from the forest farm." The secretary advised.

"No need, it must be nearby. I'm sure I'll find it if I look for it again." Bian Jie rejected the secretary's suggestion, looked around, and then continued searching.

The cemetery in my memory is not too far from Zhuang Moxue's house.

After changing direction again, Bian Jie indeed saw a small open space with two tombs standing in the middle.

"That's it!" Bian Jie then hurried over.

Bian Jie had been to the joint tomb of Zhuang Moxue's parents.

The old house collapsed, but the cemetery is still there. Zhuang Moxue is a filial daughter. Even if she marries far away, she will definitely come back to worship her parents.

As Bian Jie thought so, his pace quickened by three points.

When he arrived at the edge of the open space, Bian Jie saw from afar that the area around the grave mound had obvious signs of being repaired.

In front of the tombstone, there are rotten offerings on the altar, and there are remnants of paper money on top of the grave mound.

The traces of burning paper money were also particularly clear, and it looked like the worship had just been held not long ago.

Seeing this, Bian Jie couldn't help but look happy. This was enough to prove that Zhuang Moxue must have been here not long ago.

But as he got closer, the large gold-plated characters on the tombstone became clearer and clearer, and Bian Jie was shocked!

The tomb of loving mother Zhuang Moxue!

Zhuang Moxue’s tomb!

Zhuang Moxue!

how can that be!

Bian Jie's eyes widened involuntarily, refusing to believe this was true.

Zhuang Moxue is two years younger than him, how could he be dead?

Bian Jie stumbled, but fortunately his secretary followed closely and quickly helped him up, so he didn't fall on the spot.

"lead."

"I'm fine." Bian Jie pushed the secretary away and continued walking to the tombstone.

The tombstone is very new, with almost no dirt on it.

The large gold-plated characters are all very clear.

He died in 1958.

When Bian Jie saw these words, his mind, which had just calmed down a little, was suddenly hit hard again!

1958 was the year he was transferred, and also the year he left Zhuang Moxue!

This···

Could it be that Zhuang Moxue died just after he left?

No wonder I haven't found any information about Zhuang Moxue after so many years of sending people to inquire. I never thought it would be like this.

The tomb of loving mother Zhuang Moxue was erected by filial daughter Chu Xinyan and son-in-law Li Youcai.

Dutiful daughter!

"Mo Xue gave birth to a daughter?"

"Yes! Mo Xue was already pregnant at that time."

Bian Jie suddenly felt much more relieved.

Bian Jie knew very well that Zhuang Moxue was pregnant with his child at that time. He passed away in the autumn of 1958. Since Zhuang Moxue died in 1958, this child could only be his!

Although he didn't understand why the child's surname was Chu, Bian Jie was almost certain that Chu Xinyan was his flesh and blood.

"Go wait for me in the woods first."

Bian Jie sent his secretary and driver away and stayed at the cemetery alone.

Looking at Zhuang Moxue's tombstone, Bian Jie actually sat down next to the tombstone and leaned on it.

"Moxue, I'm back."

"I've thought about countless scenarios of how we might meet again, but I never imagined it would be this way."

"I know I'm a bastard."

······

Bian Jie leaned on Zhuang Moxue's tombstone and whispered about the things he had experienced over the years.

"I am married."

"For my career, I married someone arranged by my family, someone I didn't love and who didn't love me either."

"Do you think this is God's punishment for me? She and I have been married for more than 20 years, and we still don't have a child."

"I know you must hate me very much."

"Chu Xinyan should be our daughter, right?"

"It's been more than 20 years, and our children are already married. I don't know if you and I have become grandparents. If you were still alive, I really can't imagine what kind of happiness that would be."

"Mo Xue, I regret it!"

"If I could do it all over again, I would rather stay on this Daqing Mountain forever than board that train."

"I've lost so much."

"Mo Xue, please forgive my selfishness. I will go find our daughter, even if she hates me."

"Because I don't want to have no one burning paper at my grave after I die."

"Heh...you see, I'm still so selfish."

······

Bian Jie whispered to the tombstone for a long time, and finally stood up and prepared to leave.

He returned to the woods and reunited with his secretary and driver, and the three of them walked down the mountain.

Bian Jie remained silent throughout the journey, and his secretary and driver didn't dare to say a word either.

Back in the car, Bian Jie didn't care about the mud on his shoes and got in directly.

"go back!"

The driver didn't even bother to change his shoes. He hurriedly got into the car, started the car, and drove away.

When the car got back on the road.

Bian Jie said to his secretary in a deep voice, "Xiao Huang, please help me find two people. The woman is Chu Xinyan, she should be 23 years old, and the man is Li Youcai, he should be about the same age. Proceed quietly and report as soon as you find them."

"Yes, leader."

As a personal secretary of a senior leader, Huang Chuan knows clearly what to ask and what not to ask.

Therefore, Wangchuan didn't say a word, but just silently memorized the two names and this place of Daqing Mountain in his heart.
