Chapter 299 Reunion after 81 years

Friday, July 2023, 8.

At Hangzhou Airport, a group of more than 30 people was picking up the plane. The leader was a 93-year-old elderly man. This old man was none other than Qu Guangqiang.

Qu Guangqiang really never dreamed that he would still see his eldest brother in his lifetime.

Back then, the eldest brother Qu Guanghua joined the army with a friend from the same village. At that time, the national crisis was at the head of the war, and it was the period of the national joint resistance war. It goes without saying how dangerous it is to join the army. Naturally, my parents disagreed.

But the elder brother talked all kinds of things, and finally persuaded his parents to let him join the army. In the end, he never returned. He didn't write a letter to his family for three years, and the letters sent by his family fell into nothing.

Moreover, the family of the little friend who went to join the army with the eldest brother has received news of the sacrifice.

At that time, everyone in the family knew that the elder brother was most likely sacrificed.

Recalling the scene back then, Qu Guangqiang sighed, and said to his nephew and great-grandson, "Chunming, back then we all thought your great-grandfather died. During that time, your great-grandfather and great-grandmother sighed all day, regretting that you agreed to let your great-grandfather join the army." .

Thinking about it now, luckily they agreed, otherwise, if Grandpa Zeng was left in his hometown, he would have been killed by those goddamn bandits in all likelihood. "

Qu Chunming couldn't help but asked, "Great Uncle, how did you escape the bandit Tucun back then?"

Mentioning this, Qu Guangqiang said with a sad expression: "This is also my life. At that time, I followed an old hunter in the village into the mountains to hunt. I lived in the mountains for one night. When we came out of the mountains, we found out that the whole village I was killed to the point where I can never forget that scene."

Qu Chunming couldn't help cursing: "Damn bandits, it's not because of their inhuman massacre of villages. Our two families were able to reunite more than [-] years ago."

Qu Shiqing answered: "Those bandits didn't end well either, I heard they were wiped out not long after."

Qu Guangqiang shook his head and said, "Actually, I'm also to blame. At that time, I thought that my elder brother had died long ago, but this time the bandits massacred my parents, second brother and third sister. I thought I was the only one left alive in the whole family, so that's fine." He went out without any worries, and finally settled in Hengyang County, and missed the opportunity to meet his eldest brother.

If it wasn't for Master Jiang's help this time, I wouldn't have known until my death that my eldest brother didn't sacrifice himself back then, and that brothers could still meet each other at this age, I really would have died without regret. "

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "This is Mr. Qu, your brother's fate is not over. I just helped a little."

They are really dissatisfied with the girlfriend their son has now. If their son really marries her, their old age will be worrying!

At this moment, a large group of passengers came out of the airport. Qu Guangqiang and others immediately stopped talking, stared at the crowd intently, and began to search for targets.

After the other passengers had almost left, hundreds of people gathered together and walked out in a mighty way. The leader was an old man with white beard and eyebrows.

Seeing this old man, Qu Guangqiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked straight at him.

The white-haired old man who was helped to come out also saw the old man waiting at the exit for the first time, his expression instantly became agitated, and his walking speed involuntarily accelerated.

After the white-haired old man approached, Qu Guangqiang shouted excitedly: "Brother!"

The white-haired old man was none other than Qu Guanghua. Hearing Qu Guangqiang's shout, he grabbed his younger brother's hand and shouted with excitement, "Ah Qiang."

With tears in his eyes, Qu Guangqiang said in a choked tone, "It's been 81 years, it's been 81 years, I really never dreamed that I would see you again in this life, although your appearance is not what I remembered, but I still remember the mole at the corner of your eye."

Qu Guanghua also had tears in his eyes, the feeling of seeing his relatives after 81 years, it is estimated that apart from the two brothers, there is no third person in this world.

"Aqiang, when I went to join the army, you were still a child. Now that we meet again, you also have gray hair. It's a pity that Ah Wu and Ah Mei are so fateful that we can't wait for this day."

Hearing the eldest brother mention the second brother and the third sister, Qu Guangqiang's tragic images flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help changing the subject: "Brother, let me introduce you. This is Master Jiang. We brothers can meet again in this life. We must thank Master Jiang for his contribution."

Qu Guanghua put it on his younger brother's hand, held Jiang Feng's hand and said, "Master Jiang, thank you for your kindness. If there is anything that my Qu family can help with in the future, just ask. Our Qu family will do our best to help." .”

Jiang Feng smiled and said: "Mr. Qu, you are always a hero of the Anti-Japanese War. As a junior, it is my honor to help you with a little help in finding relatives. If you are grateful, don't mention it again."

Hearing these words, Qu Guanghua was excited again. Back then, he joined the army with great enthusiasm, thinking of going to battle to kill the enemy and serve the motherland. Now that he can get a word of affirmation from future generations, he feels that the efforts of his generation back then are meaningful. .

Qu Guanghua didn't say anything more, but shook Jiang Feng's hand vigorously.

Next, the two brothers began to introduce their children to each other. As for the grandchildren, they could only stand aside for the time being. After all, there are more than a hundred people in the two families, which is too many.

After the two parties greeted each other one by one, Qu Chunming suggested: "Grandpa, great-uncle, this is not a place to talk. I have already booked a restaurant in advance. Why don't we go to the restaurant now, and then we can chat while eating?"

Qu Guanghua nodded and said: "Okay, this is really not a place to talk, so let's go to the restaurant and talk again."

Qu Guangqiang also nodded and said yes.

The two old men nodded, and the others naturally had no objection, so they all boarded the car and went to Qu Chunming's restaurant.

Among them, Qu Shiqing personally acted as the driver for the two old men and Jiang Feng, and the other high-ranking ones also got in the car, while the low-ranking ones could only take the bus.

After all, there are more than a hundred people. Except for Qu Shiqing, the son of Qu Guangqiang, who is more promising, the other sons and grandchildren are from well-to-do families. Naturally, there are not so many cars to meet relatives from Wanwan Province.

Of course, it’s not impossible to borrow a car if you really want to, and it’s not difficult to rent a car, but it’s not necessary. I don’t know how easy it is to rent a few buses.

……

On the way from the airport to the hotel, Qu Guanghua and the two brothers Qu Guangqiang chatted about the past.

Qu Guangqiang said: "Back then, when you left, you didn't hear from me. You didn't write a letter to your family, and the letters sent by your family disappeared. In addition, the news of the death of brother Xi Zi who went to join the army with you came back. Parents and the others will judge that you are more ominous than ominous, big brother."

Qu Guanghua sighed: "The situation at that time was too severe. I was in many places in the army, and I never had the opportunity to write letters to my family. It was not until four years later that I found the opportunity and sent several letters to my family. Received reply.

Later, I received an order from my superiors to go to the Bay Area. Anyone who wanted to go would not be able to come back. It was not until the end of the 80s that I found another opportunity to return to the mainland to look for relatives.

At that time, I returned to my hometown with excitement, but the news I found made my heart cold. Our village was slaughtered by bandits three years after I joined the army, and the whole village was killed.

At that moment, I was really desperate.

However, I still haven't given up, and have been looking for news about you. Over the past [-] years, I have traveled back and forth between the two places many times, and I have traveled to countless places. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find out any news about you. "

Qu Guangqiang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, told him about his escape, and then said with emotion: "It's really good luck to trick people, because of the judgment of the parents at the beginning, and the elder brother, you really have no news at all. , so I thought you had already died on the battlefield, brother.

At that time, the old hunter and I were the only ones left in the village. After burying our parents, second brother and third sister, we returned because we were afraid of the bandits. The old hunter and I didn’t have time to bury the villagers’ bodies, so we hurried left the village.

This trip lasted for more than ten years. At that time, the transportation was inconvenient, and coupled with the poverty, I never found the opportunity to go back to my hometown to pay respects to my parents.

It was not until the early 60s that I found the opportunity to go back to my hometown.After more than 30 years, I found another opportunity to go back to my hometown to pay respects to my parents, brothers and sisters.

It was only after entering the new century that I went back to worship my parents, brothers and sisters more frequently. In recent years, due to my age, my sons and daughters did not want me to travel long distances, so they went to worship. "

Qu Guanghua heard the words and understood that it was indeed a trick of good fortune. The two brothers should have had the opportunity to meet each other long ago, but unfortunately they have missed it by accident. "Today, I will rest here first, and tomorrow you will take me back to my hometown to worship my parents." .”

Qu Guangqiang nodded and said, "Well, I haven't been back for four or five years."

……

after an hour.

In the banquet hall of a certain restaurant, there were 130 or so people from Qu's family sitting at fourteen tables.

At the first table, apart from the old men of the two families, there was Master Jiang Fengjiang and Qu Chunming, the great hero of the Qu family, the younger generation, and the rest were the second generations of the two families.

Of course, there are more than ten second generations of the two families, so there is definitely no room for this table, so only a few second generations with relatively high status are seated, such as Qu Shiqing, the county leader, and Qu Guanghua, who are in charge of the family. son of industry.

At this time, everyone chatted while eating and drinking, and gradually understood the situation of the two families.

This meal took more than three hours to finish.

When he was about to leave, Jiang Feng said goodbye with a smile: "Everyone, my trip has lived up to everyone's expectations. I have finally helped you find your long-lost relatives. Tomorrow you will go back to your hometown to worship your parents. I will not interfere. We will see you again."

Qu Guanghua reached out to hold Jiang Feng's hand, and said gratefully: "Master Jiang, the greatest wish in my life is to see my family again. Now you have helped me fulfill my wish for many years. I won't say much about being grateful." Alright, after I pay my respects to my parents, I will definitely come to pay my respects.”

Jiang Feng repeatedly declined and said: "Mr. Qu, I have already said before that you are always a hero of the War of Resistance. Without your generation's fearless dedication to life and death, our generation would not be able to do some trivial things for you today." It's my honor, please don't mention the word "reward."

Qu Guanghua held Jiang Feng's hand so moved that he couldn't speak, and said after a while, "Okay, I will listen to Master Jiang and don't mention the word "reward". Do you know if Master Jiang welcomes you or not?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Of course you are welcome."

Next, other members of the Qu family also expressed their gratitude.

Especially Qu Chunming, who has become a hero of the Qu family, is very grateful to Master Jiang.

After saying hello, Qu Shiqing found the right opportunity to say: "Master Jiang, where are you going now, I will see you off."

Jiang Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't bother the leader, I'm going to fly back to Gui Province overnight, just take a taxi."

Qu Shiqing volunteered and said: "No trouble, I can't drive after drinking, but my wife can drive, and I can talk to Master Jiang on the way."

While speaking, Qu Shiqing gave his wife Wu Ping a wink.

Wu Ping immediately understood the words and said, "Yes, Master Jiang, let me drive you to the airport!"

Jiang Feng's level of observing words and expressions is not a cover, and immediately realized that the couple should have something to say to him, so he said along the way: "Okay, then I will trouble you two."

"No trouble!"

The other juniors originally wanted to ask them to come and deliver it, but they couldn't get in the way. This side has already been confirmed, and the juniors also had winks, so they didn't volunteer again.

So, Jiang Feng said hello for the last time, and then walked downstairs to the parking lot with Qu Shiqing and Wu Ping.

……

After the car left the hotel, Jiang Feng took the initiative to ask, "Leader, do you have something to say to me?"

"You really can't hide anything from your eyes, Master Jiang."

Speaking of this, Qu Shiqing sighed and said: "Speaking of which, it's a family misfortune. My son is 29 years old this year, and he dated a girlfriend two years ago, but the girlfriend he talked about was not good either in terms of his own conditions or family conditions.

Originally, he married his wife for himself and not for his parents, and we as parents have no right to interfere with his freedom of marriage, but his girlfriend is really ignorant, and my wife and I have been thinking about it for the past two years. I have been very anxious, and I really don't want her to be our daughter-in-law. "
