Chapter 21 Do You Still Know About Coming Back?

The old woman also looked at Qi You's age for a long time, and finally gave up on identifying him, and tentatively said: "Is it the second brother? I belong to Qi Yougui's family. When you left, I had just passed through the door not long ago."

Qi Younian looked at the old woman again. Is this the sister-in-law Wang?He found sadly that he had been away for so long that he did not recognize many people he had met, and they did not recognize him.

Seeing that it was not a problem for them to stand all the time, He Quantai ordered a boy next to him: "Go to the field and find Qi Sanshun's grandfather, and tell him that there is a visitor at home, and ask him to come back to say hello."

He didn't dare to say that Qi Yougui's second brother was back.Uncle Yougui was getting old, and in the past he had nagged that he had a second brother, but his life and death were unknown.At this time, I suddenly heard the news that my second brother had come back. It would be bad if something else happened under the excitement.

He Quantai sent the boy away, and then said to Wang: "Auntie, you invite their grandparents into the house first, Uncle Yougui will be back immediately, and then we can talk about it."

"Yes, yes. Go into the house, take a rest in the house, and drink some hot water." When Wang came to her senses, she hurriedly let Qi Younian and Ye Xinyan into the house.

The three entered the yard.This is a large courtyard with three main rooms, and three east rooms are built under the east wall of the courtyard.Near the west wall and the south courtyard wall is a large chicken coop and pigsty, and the smell in the yard is a bit strong.

Although the yard is quite big, the house is already old and dilapidated. With the pigsty and a dozen chickens raised in the yard, it is a typical old farm house.

Qi Younian tied the donkey cart in the yard before leading Ye Xinyan into the room.

Standing still in the main room, he first introduced Ye Xinyan to his old sister-in-law, Wang Shi: "This is my granddaughter Ye Zi." Turning his head, he said to Ye Xinyan, "Ye Zi, this is my uncle, let me greet my uncle first. "

Ye Xinyan bowed respectfully to Mrs. Wang, "My niece and granddaughter have seen my great-aunt, and my great-aunt is well."

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Wang quickly supported her, "They are all from my own family, so there is no need to be so polite. Have you traveled a long way? Go into the inner room and rest."

He Quantai and Qi Younian sat down on the kang, and Mrs. Wang went to the stove and poured two bowls of water over.

Ye Xinyan hurried forward to catch it, and brought it to Qi Younian and He Quantai on the kang table.

"What a good and sensible boy, how old is it?" The old woman pulled Ye Xinyan to sit on the stool and asked about the daily routine.

He Quantai and Qi Younian also gossip without saying a word.

During the conversation, Qi Yougui, the eldest brother of Qi Younian, lives with his two sons now, and the whole family is busy working in the field now that the farming season is busy.As for Qi Younian's parents, they passed away seven or eight years ago, which made Qi Younian's expression even darker.

Within half a stick of incense, there were footsteps in the yard, and an old voice asked loudly, "Old lady, which family's guests are here?"

Accompanied by the old man's questioning, there were also chirping children's voices, "There are three people..." "A grandfather..." "There are two women".

Mrs. Wang rushed out to greet him, and walked into the house while supporting Qi Yougui's arm, and said: "... claiming to be the second younger brother. After decades, I don't really recognize him. Go and recognize him."

Qi Yougui stumbled when he heard that the person claimed to be the second younger brother. Fortunately, Mrs. Wang grabbed him, otherwise he would have fallen.Although Qi Yougui staggered a bit, he kept on walking and hurried into the house.

As soon as he entered the door, he just stood there, staring straight at Qi Younian who was standing beside the kang.

Qi Younian stood up nervously when he heard the words in the yard.At this time, I saw an old man with gray beard and hair coming in, staring at him, vaguely the appearance of the eldest brother back then, so my vision blurred involuntarily.

They have always been brothers for many years. Although Qi Younian was only fifteen or sixteen years old when he left home, the bloodline of the brothers is naturally different. Qi Yougui recognized this bastard brother at a glance.

Unexpected reunion after a long absence, hugging and crying. Although Qi Yougui is old and his legs are not very agile, he took a step forward the first time he recognized Qi Younian, and kicked Qi Younian to the ground.He didn't understand the hatred after kicking him down, so he stepped forward and kicked twice again.

He cursed fiercely in his mouth: "You still know to come back? You bastard, do you still know to come back?"

Ye Xinyan was still waiting to see the touching scene of the reunion of the brothers, but unexpectedly, Qi Younian was kicked down by the old man who had just entered the door after just being dazed.

She hurriedly stepped forward and stopped in front of her grandfather, "What are you doing? Why can't you speak well if you have something to say? Why do you do it when you come up?"

Looking back, he helped Qi Younian to get up, and complained: "Is he your elder brother? Why didn't you say that he has a bad temper earlier, so we should be more on guard. We haven't seen each other for so many years, how can we meet without saying anything? They are all elderly people, with old arms and legs, what if it breaks?"

Ye Xinyan was not exaggerating, she was really afraid that Qi Younian would fall badly.

People who were 60 years old in ancient times were not like the modern age a thousand years later. They could go shopping and travel, and dance square dance to keep fit.In that era, after decades of difficult life, people were exhausted.Isn't there an old saying that the human nature of seventy is rare since ancient times? A person at the age of 70 was already a rare age in ancient times, and he lived a long life.

Qi Younian smiled wryly, "I ran away from home so recklessly back then. I went away for decades, and I didn't even see my parents for the last time. It's really unfilial. Don't blame your uncle and grandpa, I should fight myself! "

The first time Qi Yougui heard that his second brother came back, all kinds of feelings came to his mind, thinking that when his parents passed away, he still couldn't forget his second brother, so he couldn't express his joy, sorrow, anger and hatred.

At this time, He Quantai also stepped forward to persuade, "Uncle Yougui, after all, we have not seen each other for decades. Uncle Younian has been wandering outside these years, so he must have some difficulties. Don't get angry, sit down and talk slowly."

With the buffer of He Quantai, Qi Yougui relaxed a little, and couldn't help crying: "You bastard! You're right, you should fight! After so many years, you just can't come back, just send a letter. Even if you don't care about us, there will always be parents who care about you, how can you bear it?"

As long as the folks in a village don't deliberately close the door to hide it, they don't have any secrets at all.After a while, Qi Yougui's two sons heard that their father had started fighting with guests at home.

The two elder brothers didn't know what was going on, so they rushed back with their wives and children.

A group of people rushed in from the main room, but they saw my father and the village chief were talking with an old man sitting on the kang in the inner room.

There was another young woman who was unfamiliar, sitting by the side of the kang, and there was a middle-aged woman standing beside the young woman.

When Qi Yougui saw that his children had returned, he hurriedly called all the juniors over to greet Qi Younian.

Qi Yougui has two sons and a daughter.Except for her daughter, Xiuzhu, who was married to another village, she is not here, and the other children and grandchildren are all around.

The eldest son is named Qi Dazhu, and he is already in his early 40s.His daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xu, has two sons and two daughters, Qi Cheng, Qi Ercheng, Meizi, and Xinger.

The second son is named Qi Dagen, 35 this year, and his daughter-in-law is Han.The three sons are Qi Shun, Qi Ershun and Qi Sanshun.The small Qi Sanshun is only eight years old.

Among Qi Yougui's grandchildren, only Qi Cheng married a daughter-in-law, Li Shi, who was married less than a year ago.
