"Quick, quick, come in, Qingyun, I'm talking to Ji Yue's father." Ji's mother greeted him with a smile on her face, and frowned again when she saw what Su Qingyun was holding, "You kid, why are you still here?" Are you bringing something? Ah Yue, don’t stop me."
Ji Yue was silent. He didn't realize just now that Su Qingyun mentioned his house when he went shopping.
"My child, I have brought you all my thoughts, so just accept it." Father Ji took the things from Su Qingyun's hand with a kind smile, "Qingyun, right? Come in and sit down."
"Thank you, uncle and aunt." Su Qingyun smiled and entered Ji's house.
"Sit for a while and eat some fruit. The food will be ready soon." Ji's mother greeted, "Old Ji, you and Ayue sit with Qingyun for a while and chat."
Su Qingyun said hurriedly: "Auntie, you are busy, don't worry about me."
Ji's mother turned around and entered the kitchen. Ji's father then took a good look at Su Qingyun. He looked like an ordinary student, but with a prettier appearance. Could it be that Ji Yue just liked the girl's beauty?
Ji's father casually asked about Su Qingyun's family situation. When he heard that she said she had three brothers in the family, he smiled and said, "It seems that your family is quite prosperous. It's good to have many brothers who can protect my sister."
"Yes, uncle, my three brothers are all very good to me." Su Qingyun said with a smile, she was indeed lucky to have these brothers.
"Ah Yue is so fucking sorry. If she hadn't been in poor health, she would definitely have had another child. Ah Yue is still a bit lonely." Ji's father sounded a little regretful. Indeed, people in this era are all about having more children. blessing.
"Dad, why are you talking about this?" Ji Yue frowned, "Do you really think having a brother is a good thing?" There was a touch of sarcasm in his tone.
His father was not an only child, but also had a younger brother. However, Ji Yue sneered in his heart that the so-called uncle stabbed them in the back when their family was in the most difficult time.
Ji's father suddenly fell silent. After a long time, he sighed, his expression a little sad.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."
Su Qingyun looked at the expressions of the father and son, and keenly felt that this might be talking about some secret matter. She immediately changed the subject, "Uncle, I heard that your family used to live in the capital. Can you tell me what the capital is like?" ?"
She looked at Ji's father with curiosity.
"The capital city." Ji's father put on a nostalgic expression. He thought for a while and said: "The capital city is very big, very big, and the roads are wide. There are various scenic spots and historic sites, which are very spectacular. There are eighty or ninety meters high There are tall buildings, all kinds of fresh food, the most advanced ideas, the most fashionable clothes..."
Ji's father's words slowly filled with admiration, and anyone could hear his nostalgia for that land. As he spoke, Ji Yue pursed his lips, flashing back to the past scenes in his mind.
Su Qingyun was also a little disappointed. The limitations of the times really played with the fate of many people.
Although Ji's father spoke in a very kind tone, the aura he exuded could not be deceived. The aura of a superior who had been in a high position for a long time could not be concealed at all. But even now that he has fallen here, he is still calm. When it comes to the past, there is nothing but nostalgia. There is only peace.
Su Qingyun couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, don't you have any resentment in your heart?"
Hearing this question, Ji's father was stunned for a long time, looking at her in surprise, and Ji Yue's expression also fluctuated.
After a while, Ji's father smiled, with indifference in his smile, and he said slowly: "I will not have any resentment in my heart, because I know that everything I have experienced is not the fault of any one person, but the fault of our country. A little deviation on the road to the future will eventually lead to the right path, so how can I complain?"
"Decades ago, our ancestors took countless detours and wrong paths before they found the right path to save the country. Now, it is just a inevitable ups and downs in the torrent of history. It is very important for the country and for individuals. Say, it’s insignificant, we’re lucky enough and don’t ask for anything else.”
"I believe that after the storm there will be a rainbow, and after the darkness there will be dawn. All we need to do is wait."
After Su Qingyun listened to this paragraph in a daze, she felt her chest was sore and bulging, and an indescribable emotion rushed up. Her eyes were dry and she almost turned red.
When Ji's father said these words, his expression was still relaxed, with a calmness that was used to wind and rain, and a spirit that was as calm as a mountain despite the wind and rain.
Su Qingyun was shocked. She was a foreigner in this era and knew clearly the development of future generations. But now, everyone who is working for the future of the country does not know what the future will look like, but they still firmly believe that tomorrow will be better. .
A grain of sand of the times is like a mountain when it falls on everyone, but there are still many people who carry the burden forward, just like Foolish Old Man can move mountains.
These people deserve to be admired and remembered.
Ji's father saw the admiration in her eyes and laughed loudly, "Let's not talk about these heavy topics. We are old. The future of this era belongs to you. You need to work hard. Come on."
"As long as you have the ability and ambition, you must work hard to go farther and higher." Ji's father encouraged, "This place is still too small, so don't be trapped."
"I will, uncle." Su Qingyun said seriously, with a firm tone.
Of course she will go to higher and further places to complete her unfinished business.
Su Qingyun smiled and said: "In the future, I will definitely go to the capital to see the places my uncle mentioned and meet people I haven't seen for a long time."
The capital is Qin Ying's long-lost hometown. Since the turmoil, she has completely lost contact with the capital, and there is no news about her parents. She has thought about it for more than ten years, and Su Qingyun has seen it all. .
The resumption of the college entrance examination and admission to university will be her chance to go to the capital.
Hearing her words, Ji's father was a little confused. He asked, "Do you know anyone in the capital?"
"It's not me, it's my mother." Su Qingyun told the truth, "My mother is from the capital. She was one of the first group of educated young people to go to the countryside for construction. She has not been back for more than ten years."
"Is your mother from Beijing?" Father Ji asked in surprise.
Ji Yue also looked shocked. He had never heard Su Qingyun mention this matter.
"Yes." Su Qingyun sighed, "After the turmoil, my mother lost contact with her family. She has been worried about this for many years. I know she really wants to go back and have a look. But now..."
She didn't fully understand what she meant, but both father and son understood what she meant.
"What are you talking about? You look so serious." Ji's mother came out with the dishes.
Su Qingyun quickly stood up and wanted to help.
"Qingyun, sit down, it's okay." Ji's mother called Ji's father, "Come and help me get some soup."
Father Ji stood up and went into the kitchen to bring soup to the table.
After all the dishes were served on the table and several people were seated, Ji's mother picked up some dishes for Su Qingyun.
"Qingyun, I heard Ayue said that you like to eat fish. I bought this specially this morning. Try it. Does it suit your taste?"
When Su Qingyun heard this, he glanced at Ji Yue in surprise. How did he know that she loved fish?
"Every time the school cafeteria cooks fish, you will order this dish." Ji Yue explained calmly.
"Oh, I'm just telling you, how did you know." Su Qingyun suddenly realized it and didn't think much about it.
Ji's father gave his son a narrow look. He didn't know that this boy had a hobby of watching people make food.
"How is it?" Seeing Su Qingyun take a bite, Ji's mother asked with a smile on her face.
"It's delicious! Auntie's cooking is very good!" Su Qingyun praised it without hesitation.
The smile on Ji's mother's face became even bigger. She served Su Qingyun a bowl of soup and said, "Have another bowl of soup. I've been simmering this soup for several hours. It's still fresh."
"Okay, thank you, auntie." Su Qingyun said obediently.
The atmosphere at the table was good. Ji's family didn't have the habit of staying silent during meals and sleep. As they were talking, Ji's mother asked several people what they were talking about just now.
Father Ji mentioned it casually.
"What about this matter?" Ji's mother was also shocked when she heard about Su Qingyun's mother's situation, "Then it's been really hard for your mother these past few years."
When I was young, I left home to support rural development. Later, I encountered turmoil and lost contact with my family. I have not heard from my family in these years, and I don’t know how sad I am.
Fortunately, she got married here and had children. Otherwise, I don't know how she could survive alone.
"My mother actually rarely mentioned the past to us, but even though she didn't say it, we all knew that she felt bad." Su Qingyun's tone was a little heavy, "The main reason is that my grandma and grandpa are getting older now, and my mother has been feeling uncomfortable in her heart." Keep it in mind, don’t worry.”
In turbulent times, communication was not developed, and the only way was to write letters. Once you couldn't get in touch, you might never see each other again in this life.
"That's true. Who doesn't look forward to reunion?" Ji's mother sighed as she thought about her elderly parents. She thought for a while and said, "Where was your mother's previous address in the capital? I wonder if you can ask someone to help. Please help me find out."
Although the Ji family came to this small place from the capital, it did not mean that they had completely lost contact there. With the Ji family's connections in the capital, if nothing else, it was still possible to find someone to do this.
When Su Qingyun heard this, his eyes showed surprise, "Really? Thank you very much."
Ji's mother smiled kindly and said, "It's okay. Please tell me the address. I think it is in which part of the capital?"
Su Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "It should be in the Dongcheng District of the capital."
"Dongcheng District?" Ji's mother frowned, "Then this range is a bit wide. Do you know the specific streets? Or the names of your grandparents, etc. It's best to be more precise to find it."
Su Qingyun recalled it and said, not quite sure, "It seems to be in Hepingli Street, Dongcheng District."
"My grandma's name is Wang Biyun, and my grandpa's name is Qin Weiguo." She still remembered this clearly.
"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the bowl in Ji's mother's hand shattered to the ground and exploded into pieces.
But she didn't care about it at all, and stared at Su Qingyun with disbelief on her face. Father Ji's eyes suddenly widened.
What's going on here? Su Qingyun and Ji Yue looked at each other in confusion.
