piecing together the soul

Chapter 79 Chapter 48

"Haven't you heard Qingluan say it?" My mother asked.

"I don't remember anything, what are you talking about?"

"This story is enough to write a book, so it's no wonder you can't remember it." My mother smiled, "Our family came out of the pass, or my grandfather brought the family out."

Mom's grandpa?I was taken aback for a moment, in fact, I would go to his grave to pay homage to him every year during the Ching Ming Festival.

"At that time, Beiping, that is, Beijing, was too chaotic, and it was understandable to come out, but think about it, if you survived at that time, you are now a Beijing hukou."

My dad suddenly said: "You won't meet me even in Beijing, where did Qingluan come from?"

"Don't interrupt." I stopped my dad from talking, "Then who came here at that time? Only my... grandpa?"

"He brought his cousin and children with him, but your grandpa was born after he came here. It's been four years or so." My mother continued, "Listen to your grandpa, when your great-grandpa came out There is still a mother alive, but it seems that for some reason she refuses to leave Beijing."

Hearing this, Master Xu and I looked at each other unconsciously, and I continued to ask: "Then who is this...grandma?"

"It's Reb's aunt."

Aunt?This name should be called by the family, so this woman is also surnamed Lai Bu, but how could it be possible for a child to be named by her mother's surname in those days?Could it be... I unconsciously glanced at Brother Xiu again, and found that he was already on the side in a daze. Of course, this is just a conjecture, it's better to ask clearly.

"No, it means that my great-grandfather took the surname of my grandma, so I took the surname Lai Bu?"

"Well, that's right." My mother said, "Your great-grandfather is an illegitimate child. If you were born without a father, of course you can only take your mother's family name."

Well, this time it's true, my great-grandfather is Brother Xiu's son.

Seeing the surprised expressions of Master Xu and me, my mother said: "Are you so surprised? It shouldn't happen, right? There were a lot of illegitimate children in those days, so there's nothing to be ashamed of. And your great-grandfather is a very powerful person, How about bringing a whole family here?"

"Mom, have you seen him?"

"No." My mother said, "He fought hard when he was young, and died in his 50s. How could I be like me at that time? But they all said that your grandpa was the son who looked most like your grandpa, and then I looked like Like your grandpa."

It's more and more right, so there is a basis for saying that my mother looks like Si'er.

Then we only chatted about some things, such as my future plans, Mr. Xu's future plans, my parents also asked about the situation of Mr. Xu's family, Mr. Xu played his skills, and talked about it for a long time. Truth and half-truths.But I was completely absent-minded, with only one thought in my mind: I am a descendant of brother Xiu, my uncle!

Of course, this also unraveled many mysteries, for example, why I feel Brother Xiu is inexplicably kind.Hehe, it's actually because of the blood he passed down on my body, and it has nothing to do with hit-sight or love at first sight.

After eating and washing up, we watched TV together in the living room. My parents were about to go to bed at about 10:30. I told Mr. Xu that we would use the Internet for a while, so we stayed up.After my parents fell asleep, the three of us sat around on the bed in the guest room where Master Xu was going to sleep.

"How is it? Are you sure you are sure this time?" Master Xu said.

Brother Xiu didn't speak, and neither did I.

"Are you two talking?" Master Xu continued, "This matter is your family's business. If I don't marry you, it has nothing to do with me. What do you two think? Make a statement?"

Reluctantly, I was squeezed out of a sentence: "We are a woman and a Capricorn. We are both earth signs, and we are not good at talking."

"Come on, I don't know anything else, the seat is a lot talkative."

The three of us were silent for a long time before Brother Xiu said, "My heart is in turmoil and I can't figure it out."

"What's the fuss?" Master Xu said, "You're already relatives, isn't it just a few generations apart? If you get married, it's considered a close relationship. And it's an incest drama that has spanned several generations. It's wonderful!"

"It's not because of this." Brother Xiu said after a pause, "I'm confused because of Si'er. I haven't seen her since my mother passed away. I thought she left with all her heart. I don't want to leave...it must be because of me. Not long ago, I felt that the things she did for me were only related to status and morality. When I heard this today, I felt that I was wrong..."

"You think of her like that?" I couldn't help but say, "She has done so many things for you, and you still... are you men really assholes like they say on the Internet?"

"no……"

"What is it?" I said, I crossed my arms and turned away from my face, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Hey, hey, no, are you digressing?" Mr. Xu hurriedly smoothed things over, "One second ago, we were talking about whether you two should get along, why did you start arguing the next second?"

I don't know why I was so angry all of a sudden, but if I think about it carefully, maybe it's because of disappointment?Brother Xiu who I knew before was at least serious about Si'er or me, but today he can say such stupid things, it's really hard for me to accept.

Master Xu also roughly understood why I was angry, so he didn't try to persuade us any more, and the three of us just sat like this and didn't talk to anyone.

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly heard a "crack", although it was not loud but very clear.

However, there was only this sound, and I couldn't help thinking that I had heard it wrong.But Brother Xiu said, "Did you hear the voice just now?"

"You heard that too?" I asked back.

Master Xu came to his senses all of a sudden, and immediately said: "The kitchen!" He jumped off the bed as if he was bouncing.
