Chapter 128
Chen Wan's second New Year in Ping'an Village was still awakened by Xu Kongshan. He didn't rush to get up, but poked his head and kissed the corner of Xu Kongshan's mouth: "Brother Shan, Happy New Year."
Xu Kongshan woke up early, but didn't get up all the time, just to hear Chen Wan's Happy New Year.
The two of them didn't lie down until after midnight last year. Xu Kongshan will never forget the way Chen Wan suppressed his tiredness and lied in his ear saying that he would be the first to say Happy New Year to him every year.
Now Chen Jianjun and his wife were separated by a wall, Chen Wan was worried and didn't dare to mess with Xu Kongshan, so naturally he didn't make it past zero.
The Chen family was extremely lively on the first day of the Lunar New Year. After visiting the grave around ten o'clock, there was an endless stream of people visiting the house to pay New Year's greetings. Most of them came for Chen Jianjun. Chen Wan thought it was noisy, so after lunch he took Xu Kongshan with him as an excuse to dig out his ears Into the mountains to hide leisurely.
Xu Kongshan chose a relatively clean place for Chen Wan to sit down and rest. Spring hadn't started yet, and there were no traces of insects and ants.
With warmth in the wind, Chen Wan hugged the padded jacket that Xu Kongshan had taken off, and looked over his shoulder to the farther mountain: "I want to climb the mountain."
"Okay." Xu Kongshan agreed straightforwardly. He dug up enough zheer roots for at least three meals. He hid the hoe and the basket, "Which way do you want to go?"
The mountains are endless, Chen Wan stood up and patted the weeds on his body: "Which is the longest way you go into the mountains?"
Xu Kongshan pointed to the left, Chen Wan hesitated: "Will we meet wild boars?"
"No." Xu Kongshan held Chen Wan's hand, and now he was much more proactive than Chen Wan, "We won't go that far."
Xu Kongshan's dry and strong palms relieved Chen Wan's worries, and he smiled at Xu Kongshan: "That's right, brother Shan can kill wild boars alone, what am I afraid of."
Chen Wan's physical strength wasn't very good, but with Xu Kongshan around, he didn't feel strenuous.When we reached the middle of the mountain, wet sweat oozes from the clasped palms. Chen Wan tried to withdraw his hand, but Xu Kongshan held it even tighter in the next second.
With obvious reluctance.
Chen Wan smiled immediately, and leaned forward to kiss him.
The mountain road was rugged, and there were obstacles in the front, back, left, and right. Xu Kongshan pressed the back of Chen Wan's head with unprecedented wildness.
The kiss was tired, mainly because Chen Wan was tired, so Xu Kongshan put his arms around his waist instead: "Go back?"
"Wait." Chen Wan pointed to her lips, "At least let's eliminate the evidence first."
Xu Kongshan was hooked by him and almost lost control, and it turned into a sigh of grievance after a while.
"Back to the provincial capital..." Chen Wan obviously comforted her, "I bought a ticket for the third year of junior high school."
It was a bit chilly under the shade of the trees that couldn't get the sun, Xu Kongshan took Chen Wan's hand again: "Do you want to continue walking up?"
Chen Wan glanced at the time, it was very early: "Let's go."
The mountains in Ping'an Village are endless, and there are countless big and small hills. Chen Wan has never climbed to the top of any of them. It's a rare opportunity. Why don't you unlock this achievement.
At the foot of the mountain, Zhang Cheng and Zhao Hui paid a military salute to Chen Jianjun. The two looked rounder than last year. Their daughter-in-law didn't come and they took care of their children at home.
Chen Jianjun smiled and congratulated, and asked a few questions about the recent situation. Zhou Mei sent out the last wave of New Year's greetings, and there were only three of them left in the main room for the time being.
"Head, I heard that you are looking for someone named Li Xue?" Zhang Cheng lowered his voice. He shouldn't have been inquiring into Chen Jianjun's private affairs, but who made this Li Xue happen to have such a relationship with him.
Xu Kongshan's biological mother is Li Xue.
"Tell me about the specific situation." Chen Jianjun was not surprised. He retrieved relevant information at the police station in the county in the past two days, and Zhang Cheng and the others knew it was normal.
Chen Jinjin's family letter was not very detailed, so that Chen Jianjun did not associate Xu Kongshan with the child who was replaced more than 20 years ago. After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, his expression was a little complicated.
According to the clues given by Meng Hai, the girl in the photo is named Meng Xue and is his own sister.As for why Meng Xue came to Nancheng alone, Meng Hai said that the two had a big fight over something, and Meng Xue ran away from home in a fit of anger.
At that time, Meng Hai wanted to look for him, but the army temporarily issued an emergency mission, so he had to return to the team. As a result, he went there for a year, and when the mission was over, he completely severed contact with Meng Xue.
Meng Hai searched for many years, and the last clue stayed in Heyuan County, so he asked Chen Jianjun for help.
At first, Chen Jianjun searched Meng Xue and found no clues. Although Heyuan is a county, the total population is still not small. In addition, more than 20 years have passed, and looking for someone is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
In the office that day, Meng Hai's last words to Chen Jianjun were: If you can't find it, forget it.
Fortunately, the first national census was conducted in 53. Chen Jianjun found another way, narrowed down the scope by screening abnormal household registrations, and then took photos to inquire, and finally found Meng Xue's residence in Heyuan yesterday morning.
Meng Xue is beautiful and lives alone with a big belly, so after more than 20 years, the neighbors still have a deep impression of her.
"She said her name was Li Xue." "She moved away for many years and never came back." "Where did she move to? I don't know."
The clues about Meng Xue came to an end here, and Chen Jianjun was already mentally prepared to return in vain, but now he had something else to gain.
So, Xu Kongshan is Meng Hai's nephew?
Given that it was Meng Hai's identity, Chen Jianjun didn't say much about why he was looking for Li Xue. Ren Zhangcheng misunderstood that he was helping Xu Kongshan to get ahead-Xu Kongshan now lived and ate with the Chen family, no different from a family.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhao." Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Chen Wan stepped into the courtyard gate, behind him was Xu Kongshan carrying a hoe.
Chen Jianjun tried to see the similarities with Meng Hai from Xu Kongshan's face, but except for his height, he didn't look familiar at all. He was not like Meng Hai nor Meng Xue. Could it be that he followed his unknown father?
"Third brother?" Chen Jianjun looked at Xu Kongshan for too long, and Chen Wan couldn't help but wonder.
"I'm back, how many ears have been dug out?" Chen Jianjun looked away, and had no intention of prosecuting Xu Kongshan for the time being. After all, according to Meng Hai's performance, he didn't seem to notice that Meng Xue was pregnant at all.
The topic changed naturally, Xu Kongshan put down the basket, he had washed the zheergen in the ditch once, it was white and still dripping.
Smoke rose from the roof, Zhou Mei greeted Zhang Cheng and the others to have dinner together later, the two declined with a smile, the wife and children at home are waiting, they should go.
Zhou Mei mixed the Zheer roots pinched into finger lengths with salt, vinegar and spicy oil. Chen Wan was not interested in it at first, but because Xu Kongshan dug it, he reluctantly stretched out his chopsticks a few more times.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Second Sister Chen and Fifth Sister Chen dragged their families back to their natal home. Chen Yongyang was almost crazy with joy. Chen Wan looked at the juniors in the yard, and his mind was full of the words "people are thriving".
It had been a long time since the Chen family had been together like this, Zhou Mei was so happy that she seemed to be a few years younger.
So when Chen Wan told about his train ticket for the third year of junior high school, Zhou Mei's suddenly dark expression made him feel that he was extremely cruel.
"Why are you in such a hurry, can't it be two days later?" Zhou Mei looked at Chen Wan anxiously, and the laughter in the room turned into a heart-pounding silence.
Chen Wan couldn't directly say no: "The movie starts on the first day of February, and I haven't finished my clothes yet."
He didn't book the tickets for the third year of junior high school solely because of Xu Kongshan, "Love in the Fog Mountain" was the main reason.
