Siheyuan: Since 51

Thinking back to before, Jia Dongxu did nothing but followed Yi Zhonghai around to eat and drink for free, and was also unreasonable.

A good meal ended in a bad mood.

Yan Bugui couldn't help but frowned and asked tentatively: "Old Yi, Dongxu won't come tonight, right?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't think much about it and blurted out, "I'll let him accompany me tonight."

Is that what I mean?

Yi Zhonghai, ah Yi Zhonghai!

Zhiyuan is right.

As long as it has anything to do with the Jia family, your IQ plummets.

Yan Bugui was furious and did not respond.

He Daqing shook his head and said, "Lao Yi, next time you have something to do, you'd better take Dongxu with you and finish your work before going to the table."

Liu Haizhong shook his head and said, "Dongxu is really unreasonable sometimes."

Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, then he realized that his beloved disciple was not welcome!

Just when he was at a loss as to what to do, a voice outside the door saved Yi Zhonghai.

"Hello, may I ask if Lin Jiadong lives in this courtyard?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan got up and walked out.

At the gate, I saw a middle-aged woman holding a package in her left hand and holding a teenage boy’s hand with her right hand.

"Lin Jiadong is my father, may I ask who you are?"

A middle-aged woman with regular features, not too tall, a little thin, and short hair, she looked very capable.

"So you must be Zhiyuan, right? I'm your second aunt, my name is Wu Xia."

"Second aunt?"

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing this, Wu Xia walked forward, took out two photos from her pocket and handed them to Lin Zhiyuan.

"Your grandfather's name is Lin Cheng'an, and your grandmother's name is Song Erniu. In 35, when you were four years old, both of them passed away one after the other.

Your second uncle is Lin Jialiang, born in 15. He first went to school at a national university and ran away from home in 37.

The family's generation name is 'Lingde Xiuye, Chengjia Zhishu'.

Look at the photo again, do you believe it now?"

Lin Zhiyuan subconsciously took the photo and looked down.

The first one is a personal photo.

A young man in gray military uniform stood next to an earthen wall.

Who else could it be if not my second uncle who ran away from home?

Compared to my memory, it’s less bookish and more tough.

The second photo is a family photo of three people. Wu Xia is holding the little boy and standing next to her second uncle Lin Jialiang.

After confirming their identities, Lin Zhiyuan quickly extended his hand and signaled, "Second Aunt, please come in quickly."

Seeing this, several people in the room did not stay any longer and stood up.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Zhiyuan, greet your second aunt first."

Passing by Lin Zhiyuan, Liu Haizhong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Zhiyuan, if you need anything, you can find your uncle Liu."

He Daqing nodded and said nothing.

Yan Bugui looked regretful and said, "Zhiyuan, you guys are busy!"

Lin Zhiyuan chuckled and said, "I don't think it will be possible tonight. Let's make an appointment tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"it is good!"

"to make!"

"Then I'll be waiting!"

After seeing off the few people, Lin Zhiyuan led Wu Xia and the other person into the east wing.

Looking around, Wu Xia smiled and said, "Zhiyuan, the home decoration is good!"

After pouring a glass of water for Wu Xia, Lin Zhiyuan waved his hand: "Well, we are getting married soon, so I just packed up a little."

Wu Xia immediately became interested, "Really? When is the day?"

"Number 20!"

"What a shame! What a shame!"

Wu Xia clapped her hands and said regretfully, "I can only stay in Beijing for a week at most. I can't make it!"

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but persuade, "Second Aunt, if it's nothing important, just stay a little longer."

Wu Xia shook her head and asked, "Where are your parents? Let's talk about it when they come back!"

"My mother died of illness four years ago, and my father went to see her last month."

Wu Xia's eyes widened immediately. "Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me?"

Lin Zhiyuan was speechless for a while. I wanted to ask, where can I find you?

"Second Aunt, I need to be able to contact you too!"

Wu Xia raised her eyebrows, "Didn't you write a letter? Even if it's too late, you can still notify me later!"

"Second aunt, to be honest, I received a letter from my second uncle. My father has already passed the seventh day of his death. And there is no address. I want to reply, but I can't!"

Wu Xia couldn't help but grumble, "This shouldn't be the case. When sending the letter, your uncle got permission, but he didn't have time and wrote the address on the cigarette box paper and stuffed it into the envelope."

Lin Zhiyuan remembered that the envelope had been opened and understood.

"Second Aunt, some time ago, the factory where I worked was going to donate it to the country, and a public group came to the factory. During that time, all the letters had to be checked, and they were probably confiscated!"

"Is that so?" Wu Xia nodded, put it aside for the moment, and sighed, "You and your brother have a hard life."

"Second Aunt, don't say that. I'm fine now."

Lin Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "My second uncle ran away from home in 37. At that time, it was just Zhihui and I at home. In 39, my parents gave birth to a younger sister named Lin Manyu."

"Manyu, what a nice name. The three brothers and sisters will have a companion, unlike my Zhihao."

As she spoke, Wu Xia patted the little boy beside her and said, "This is the son of me and your second uncle, his name is Lin Zhihao. Zhihao, call someone, this is your eldest brother."

Lin Zhihao said obediently: "Big brother."

"Good boy, how old is Zhihao?"

"Um, I'm ten years old this year."

As they were talking, Lin Manyu and Lin Zhihui came back.

"Brother!" Lin Manyu ran in excitedly. When she saw someone in the room, she quickly stuck out her tongue and said, "Hey, brother, are there guests at home?"

Lin Zhiyuan laughed and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, he is not a guest, he is one of our family members."

Wu Xia stood up and stepped forward, smiling, "Xiaoyu, Zhihui, I am your second aunt."

After Lin Zhiyuan's introduction, Wu Xia's identity was confirmed.

Lin Manyu was not shy at all. She smiled and took Wu Xia's arm, calling her sweetly, "Second Aunt."

Wu Xia grinned and patted Lin Manyu's hand.

"Oh, your second uncle and I wanted a daughter, but unfortunately we had a lot of turmoil in the early years and couldn't have one. Later, when we wanted one, we couldn't get pregnant."

Lin Manyu chuckled, "Second Aunt, look at what you said, won't I be your daughter in the future?"

The smile on Wu Xia's face became even more intense. "Yes, yes, Xiaoyu will be my daughter from now on."

After they got familiar with each other, Lin Zhiyuan stood up and said with a smile: "Second Aunt, you guys chat first. It's rare for our family to get together, I'll go prepare something and have a reunion dinner tonight."

Wu Xia waved quickly, "Zhiyuan, come back, don't waste time."

"Second Aunt, just leave it alone!"

After saying this, Lin Zhiyuan disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After more than an hour, Lin Zhiyuan got two fish and a pound of wild boar meat from the space.

For dinner, a pot of fish soup, a meat dish, and a plate of pickled vegetables.

The family ate steamed bread and chatted while eating.

Lin Zhiyuan asked casually: "Second Aunt, where have you and my second uncle been? And why didn't my second uncle come back with us?"
