The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 457

Chu Xu naturally knew Xuancheng, Xuancheng was considered the state capital, and its geographical location was close to the northwest of the central part of Great Chu.Speaking of which, Zhongzhou is also in the northern part of the central part of Great Chu, but Zhongzhou is a little bit norther than Lianzhou, but Xuancheng is only three to five days away from Lianzhou or Yecheng.

It's no wonder that my father-in-law travels back and forth to the north to look for Yingying every year.

"It's just why I can't find the household registration document of my father's name in the government files?" You must know that Chu Xu knew that Yingying wanted to find her family members, but she put in a lot of effort in this regard, but she just couldn't find any information.

After listening to Chu Xu's question, Shi Cheng couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, "Oh, it's a long story. Our family used to be from Old Beijing, and we spoke official dialect, but here in Xuancheng, we speak local dialect. When you settle down, the subordinate staff who come to register are sent by temporary dispatchers. They don't understand official language, and they don't know a few big characters at all.

When I came here, I didn't even bring a serious paper and pen, so I just wrote a few pictures on a piece of paper, and when the household registration post was posted, "Shi Cheng" became a "historical evidence".

Not only our family, but seventy-eight out of ten people like us who settled down late at that time made mistakes. Back then, the government didn’t have the energy to correct this, so they could only go to the head of the village and the county government to make up an explanation, saying that they would change it when they had the opportunity. A delay until now. "

Chu Xu was very regretful when he heard this, why didn't he think of it?In that chaotic era, how many people died in Dachu, and how many literate young men can be found in the whole city?Besides, there is also the problem of accent.Chu Xu felt that his thinking was still narrow...

"And then..."

"Later we settled down in Xuancheng. At least I had a reputation. Although it was difficult to verify at that time, I still found a job in the academy and had a fixed salary to support my family. I taught students on weekdays, and when the academy was on vacation Go to Yecheng to find out about your grandfather and grandmother.

Later, your brothers and sisters grew up, and each started a family. The life has been living like this, even though it is ordinary, it is still stable.

Only in recent years, there have been some changes in the family.First of all, your mother suffered from illness in the early years, and she missed Ying'er, so the past few years have gotten worse;

It was difficult when I was young with your elder sister. I didn’t take care of my body well. After I got married, I didn’t have children.I happened to meet you once... so I decided to let your sister and Li go home...

Over the years, I have spent some of the surplus money at home in Ye City and here, so life will inevitably be more difficult, and your sister-in-law and brother are not in harmony because of this.

Five years ago, I deeply felt that I was getting old and my energy was low, so I resigned from my post at the college and went out to find someone, and I decided to separate your brother and sister-in-law to live on their own.

It's just that your sister-in-law still thinks our family is a burden, and she's arguing to reconcile..." I don't know if I will regret it in the future.

Chu Xu was even more surprised when he heard it than when he was watching a drama, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut for a long time: This family has been displaced until now, and now the father-in-law has no job, the mother-in-law has become a medicine jar, the elder sister is disliked, and the elder brother is also...

This is not enough, the father-in-law is a son of man, and his parents can't see people when they are born, and they can't see the corpses when they die. As a son, he must find the whereabouts, even if he finds clear evidence that there are no bones left, so that he can set up a tomb for his parents. , otherwise, if the person is gone, it is not a big deal that there is not even a memorial service in these years?
But on the other hand, who doesn't have a glimmer of hope to find a living person?If the cemetery was erected without looking for it with all my heart, if the truth is discovered in the future, it will be embarrassing...

In addition, as a father, he must also find his lost child. No matter how difficult he is, he cannot shirk these two responsibilities.

This kind of family and responsibility, if you talk about it, everyone can understand it, but wouldn't it be a burden to live together every day? !Unless he pretends to have amnesia and just lives his own life, these two responsibilities will always weigh him down.

As a responsible man, Chu Xu felt very sympathetic to his old father-in-law at this moment. Such a thin shoulder was carrying such a heavy pressure, and under such a great pressure, he still refused to let his eldest daughter be wronged. , He made a reconciliation decisively, and Chu Xu sincerely praised his father-in-law, but he might not be able to do this for his children.

"Father is out, what will happen at home? Both mother and sister are women..." Chu Xu was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter, I told your elder brother to take care of one or two. In fact, your elder brother is also helpless, and the life at home has to go on. Sigh, if he didn't sneak a few money for me every time I went out, the couple would be fine. It will come to this point. Don't blame him, it's not easy for him." Shi Cheng sighed.

"In this case, how about father-in-law repairing a letter, Cheng Zhi sent someone to Xuancheng, and picked up mother-in-law and brothers and sisters to come over for a family reunion? Especially mother-in-law, I'm afraid there won't be too much delay. There really is something wrong, Yingying is afraid I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life!"

Shi Cheng could feel the sincerity of this son-in-law. Originally, he wanted to see his daughter as long as he wanted, and he didn't want to burden her, so as not to make the family situation a drag in the eyes of others again like a son-in-law couple.

As long as Ying'er is doing well, he can go back with peace of mind, and he can also concentrate on going to Xuancheng to find the whereabouts of his parents' bodies. However, right now, he is reluctant to part with the precious little daughter he just met. If you are busy, you will get twice the result with half the effort to find something.

He is not that stubborn old man who doesn't know how to adapt, and now he is relieved to have a son-in-law who is filial to him, and maybe he can spend a few more years with his daughter...

"Father?" Chu Xu's sincere and persistent voice woke Shi Cheng up.

"Okay, just listen to Chengzhi."
