Chapter 51

The celebrations in the county lasted for many days, and on those days, everyone was happier than New Year's.

Lin Zhanyu and Wei Qingyun went out to work, and they were also very popular.Every time when going back, walking on the road in the city, Lin Zhanyu looked at the fiery red sunset, and his heart was never relaxed.

The battle is over.Just thinking about these words makes me feel extremely beautiful.

From now on, I can sleep soundly, eat delicious food, and no longer have to worry about being woken up by the air defense siren in the middle of the night, or being separated from my dear ones if I am not careful.

Thinking of this, he inevitably turned his head instinctively, and glanced at the face of Wei Qingyun who was walking beside him.I saw that the other party was the same as him, with a peaceful smile on the corners of his eyes and brows.

From it, Lin Zhanyu seems to be able to see the stable time in the next few decades.

And the beginning and end of all this is Wei Qingyun.

Lin Zhanyu is not a greedy person. As a common man, as far as he is concerned, all he wants in his life is to live well.

As for the others, whether it is to make money to live or to carry forward Master's art, as far as he is concerned, it is enough to do his best.

In the past, his greatest wish was to stay in a peaceful world, live and go home with Wei Qingyun.At this moment, he thought, maybe the life he had been looking forward to for half his life was already within reach.

The great joy dazzled his mind, making him forget how worried Qiao Li was before, and all he could think about was the possible good days in the future after surviving so far.

But Wei Qingyun did not forget.This person still listens to the radio and buys newspapers every day, and pays close attention to the movements of all parties.

But he never took the initiative to mention these things to Lin Zhanyu. He read the newspaper quietly every day, and only raised his mouth when Lin Zhanyu asked.

He sensed Lin Zhanyu's ease, and he didn't want to break this rare happiness, preferring that he and Qiao Li were worrying too much.

One day more than two months later, in the autumn, Lin Zhanyu only asked Wei Xueyi to wear more clothes, but he didn't add clothes in time, so he was very cold.

Wei Qingyun ordered him to stay at home and go out to work by himself.

After so many years, it has become a habit for Lin Zhanyu to get up early, and it is impossible to sleep more.When he was bored in the morning, he had to go to the backyard and help the guys with their work as he had done for many years in the past.

"Forget it, you're a 'sick person', how dare I bother you?" The guy who was chopping firewood teased him: "When your elder brother comes back, and then think that I bully you, I will lose more than I gain."

"It's just the wind and cold, it's not as serious as you said." Lin Zhanyu smiled, and took the small ax from the clerk: "Go and rest for a while."

"Hey, it's done." The clerk picked up a sweat towel and wiped his hands, moved another stool and sat next to Lin Zhanyu, chatting: "Brother Lin, let me talk a little bit more. I think you treat your nephew very well, my dear." It's nothing more than that."

"It should be." Lin Zhanyu said with a smile: "My senior brother and my sister-in-law treated me very well back then. Did we know that the favor was repaid? What's more, I have been watching this child grow up. People are not grass and trees, how can they be without feelings? Woolen cloth?"

He thought for a while, and began to play tricks: "You say it's a coincidence, when I was young, I had a bad voice for several years, and it finally recovered when this child was born. I think maybe I have a fate with Xueyi, and when he came He brought good luck to me. Later, he grew up day by day and became very close to me."

"Student is smart and cute. It's just," the man sighed, "it's a pity that your sister-in-law left too early. If you can live to this day, you will be very gratified to see that the child is born so well."

"Don't talk about this." Lin Zhanyu couldn't help but feel sad: "Sister-in-law Lu Jiang is kind and sincere to everyone around her. If there is an afterlife, I think I will be reincarnated into a good family, so that I won't suffer as early as in this life. The misery of poverty."

They both turned their backs to the front hall as they spoke.Just as Lin Zhanyu finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of something falling behind him.

He hurriedly turned around, only to see Wei Xueyi standing in a daze at the door connecting the backyard with the front hall.It was the child's schoolbag that fell just now.

"Why are you back?" Seeing this, Lin Zhanyu immediately realized that the child had heard what he said just now.

He stood up immediately, still holding the small ax in one hand, and the other hand was so cramped that he didn't know where to put it.

"I forgot to bring my Chinese homework, and my master punished me to go home to pick it up." Wei Xueyi approached step by step: "Uncle Lin, what did you say just now? Sister-in-law, afterlife, reincarnation? I didn't understand."

"I'm talking about my other sister-in-law." Lin Zhanyu's palms were covered with cold sweat: "My master took in several apprentices back then, besides your father and your uncle Qiao, I also have a senior brother named Xue He. If you don't believe me, you can ask your father when he comes back."

"Don't lie to me, I heard it all, you are talking about Lu Jiang, my mother." Wei Xueyi raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were red, full of grievances and surprises: "Uncle Lin, how could you treat me like that?" What about telling lies?"

"I didn't." Lin Zhanyu quickly denied, "How could I lie to you? Xueyi, listen to Uncle Lin tell you carefully."

Wei Xueyi didn't give him a chance to explain, so he turned around and ran to the front hall.

Lin Zhanyu wanted to chase after him, but before he stepped into the front hall, he heard a child crying loudly.A few "Father" were mixed with the crying, which was not very clear.

He turned around and looked at the buddy, knowing that Brother Wei was back, he put the ax back in the buddy's hand: "I'll go and have a look."

Wei Qingyun stood by the gate, folded his arms and stared at Wei Xueyi coldly: "Boy, why are you running in such a hurry? What happened again?"

"Don't worry about it!" Wei Xueyi sat on the ground in a state of embarrassment, with tears all over his face.He didn't care about wiping, but cried a few times and stared at Wei Qingyun: "You are all big liars! I will never trust you again!"

"What's the trouble? There's no rules." Wei Qingyun didn't know why, but seeing that he was about to get angry again, Lin Zhanyu ran to stop him.

"Brother, I'm sorry." Lin Zhanyu glanced at Wei Xueyi, then turned to Senior Brother Wei, and said frankly: "I was chatting with Brother Xu at the back just now, but I didn't expect this kid to come back suddenly to pick up things. Speaking of which, sister-in-law Lu Jiang..."

Lin Zhanyu looked troubled and couldn't continue, but Wei Qingyun understood everything.

The latter's complexion suddenly became extremely bad, and he grabbed Lin Zhanyu's forearm forcefully, and for a moment, he was at a loss.

But it only lasted for a moment.It took Wei Qingyun a very short time to regain his sanity, first he gave Lin Zhanyu a light hug as a comfort, to tell him that it was okay, then he dragged Lin Zhanyu's arm and walked slowly to Wei Xueyi.

The child sat on the ground, crying faintly.Wei Qingyun quietly looked at this little face that was about six or seven points similar to Lu Jiang's. After some time, he realized that he also burst into tears.

"Xueyi," Wei Qingyun let go of Lin Zhanyu, and opened his arms to his son: "Give Dad a hug, okay?"

"I don't want it!" Wei Xueyi shouted, "You two are big liars!"

His voice attracted the shopkeeper and the rest of the staff.Seeing this situation, the guy who was chatting with Lin Zhanyu just now hurriedly dragged everyone away: "It doesn't matter, I will explain to you."

So only the three of them were left in the front hall.Lin Zhanyu said softly: "Xueyi, it's cold on the ground. If you catch the cold, you won't be able to go to school. Didn't you say yesterday that the master will take you to fly kites in the autumn wind?"

The child ignored him and just kept crying.

Lin Zhanyu originally wanted to say something more, but Wei Qingyun didn't let him continue.

He understood what Senior Brother Wei meant, no matter how eloquent he was at this time, it would be useless if the facts were the same.

The two of them stood aside silently, and when the child finally had enough of crying, Wei Qingyun picked him up.

Wei Xueyi lay on the edge of the table, glanced at Wei Qingyun, then at Uncle Lin, and asked aggrievedly: "Father, uncle, is my mother really gone?"

"Yes." Sitting beside him, Wei Qingyun looked into his eyes with incomparable sincerity: "In the 26th year of the Republic of China, when the city of Nanjing fell, she died in the city along with many people."

"Then how did the three of us escape?" Wei Xueyi was crying, extremely puzzled.

"Didn't run away. Before the Japanese devils came in, I went to work in Hefei County with you, Uncle Lin, and you clamored to follow. You were too young at the time, and I was still hesitant. It was your Uncle Lin who brought you here." Looking at Wei Qingyun, he turned his head and glanced at Lin Zhanyu: "Without you, Uncle Lin, you wouldn't be able to live today."

"Brother." Lin Zhanyu frowned, not wanting him to say that.

But Wei Xueyi understood what his father meant, and he reached out to wipe the tears off his face: "Father, no wonder you said that Uncle Lin was my savior."

"Your father's words are too exaggerated." Lin Zhanyu sat down on the other side of the child, and put the child in his arms: "Who would have thought of what happened later?"

Wei Xueyi was silent for a while, and then began to cry again.

"I haven't seen my mother yet." He grabbed Lin Zhanyu's hand, feeling really sad: "I don't even know what she looks like."

"Go look in the mirror and look at yourself, it's pretty much the same." Wei Qingyun said softly, "Your eyebrows and eyes resemble her the most."

"Yes." Lin Zhanyu hastily agreed, and added: "Your nose and mouth are like a senior brother, and the rest are like sister-in-law."

Seeing that Wei Xueyi gradually stopped crying, Lin Zhanyu asked, "Brother, why did you come back so early?"

Only then did Wei Qingyun remember his intention to go home.He sighed, and took out a small box of medicine from his pocket: "I saw a new western medicine store opened in the city, and they all said that this stuff can cure cold quickly, so I bought some for you."

"Oh, it's just a small problem, and you're making too much of a fuss." Lin Zhanyu smiled helplessly: "Besides, I used to eat herbs to treat wind and cold, and the effect may not be that bad."

"I bought everything, you put it away quickly." Wei Qingyun pushed the medicine box towards Lin Zhanyu a little: "You can accompany him, I will go to school and give him a day off."

When Wei Qingyun went out again, the child lowered his eyes, choked and whispered to Lin Zhanyu: "Uncle Lin, I have been thinking that I must build a big house in the future, and let my mother live with us when she comes back. "

"Your mother is watching you from the sky, protecting you." Lin Zhanyu rubbed the child's hair.

He knew that he and Wei Qingyun's lies could not be concealed for a while, but for a lifetime, but what happened today was so sudden that it exceeded everyone's expectations.

The world has always been impermanent, whether it is as big as the great cause of the family and the country, or as small as the life of the common people, which one is not like this?
