The history of raising children from the Republic of China to the 70s

"Hey, godmother, why do you bring so many things?" Xu Liu turned around and saw that Li Chengye was carrying things in both his left and right hands, especially the two chickens.Mother Li was a baby before, and it was hard to raise such a big baby.

Mother Li smiled and signaled Li Chengye to quickly put the things on the car, while she said to Xu Liu, "There are so many of these things. You recognized me as a godmother before and didn't tell my family, so I just robbed a girl like this." Come back. When I visit your house this time, of course I can’t enter the door empty-handed, this is all etiquette.”

As long as she brought something up, she would feel better. It would have been bad if she didn’t tell her father that she was a relative. In addition, the status of the other party’s family is different, so it’s better to be prepared, so that no one will say that they took advantage of it in the past.

When talking about this, Xu Liu also felt a little embarrassed. In the final analysis, this matter was still her fault, and she hadn't told Li's mother and others about her family's affairs before.

Xu Liu was also selfish at the time, after all, the Xu family's situation was not good at the time, and they didn't know what the future would be like.

Because it was getting late, the few people didn't have much delay, got in the car and set off.

The driver in front was obviously from the army, and he kept his eyes on the whole way, as if he didn't hear what Xu Liu and Li's mother said.

The car slowly drove into the place where the compound of the military region was located. Many important people lived here, and the management was very strict. Although Xu Liu was with them, Li Chengye and the others still went through strict identity checks.

"My God, it's really not easy to come in here!" After waiting for the sentry box, Mother Li couldn't help but sighed, patting her chest.

Xu Liu, who was sitting next to her, smiled, "It was like this the first time I came here, and it won't happen in the future."

Mother Li smiled on her face, but in her heart she felt that there was a high probability that she would never come here again.

But for a while in the car, Xu Liu had already given an overview of the current situation of the Xu family.

Although the Xu family has just come back, the jobs of Xu Jintu brother and three nephews have all resumed.The third generation of the Xu family is the Kezi generation, so the three brothers from oldest to youngest are Xu Kewen, Xu Kezhi and Xu Kewu.Among the three, Xu Kewen and Xu Kezhi are both married and have children.Only Xu Kewu is about the same age as Xu Liu, because of the delay due to previous events.

The generations of the Xu family are relatively simple. The eldest is in the army, the second is in politics, and the youngest is planning to go into literature. Xu Kewu is ready to take this year's college entrance examination.

Because of the stressful work, Xu Kewen and Xu Kezhi have left the capital with their families, and now there are only six people in the Xu family, including Mr. Xu.

In this way, Li Chengye and the others felt a little more relaxed in the past, and there were not so many people to deal with.

At this time, Xu Jintu was already waiting at the gate of the villa where the Xu family was located, and Xu Kewu was by his side. Because he was going to take the college entrance examination next month, he was still in the Xu family's villa.

"Second Uncle, they are here." Xu Kewu stood on tiptoe and saw the car coming from the other side of the curve.

"It's them." Xu Jintu came out to greet them.

When the car stopped, Xu Kewu hurried forward and opened the door.

"Brother Li and Aunt Li, right? Hello, welcome to Xu's house!" Before anyone came down, Xu Kewu warmly greeted Li Chengye and the others.

"Hey, hello, hello, the young man is really energetic!" Li's mother got out of the car first, and smiled very enthusiastically at Xu Kewu.

"Hello." This is Li Chengye, and he carried the two children down.

Now Xu Liu has also come down, and hurriedly said to Li Chengye and Li's mother: "Godmother, brother Ye, this is my father, and this is my third cousin Xu Kewu."

Xu Jintu originally wanted to go forward, but Xu Kewu preempted him. Now he quickly pulled Xu Kewu away, and smiled at Li's mother and Li Chengye: "Sister Li, Comrade Li, hello, I am Xu Liu's father Xu Jintu, thank you for taking care of my daughter during this time."

Xu Kewu acted very sincerely, without the airs of a city government official at all.

Mother Li already knew his identity, and it was the first time she was thanked by such a big person. She was a little flattered for a while, and immediately shook her head and waved her hands in a panic, "No, no, we didn't help, we just did some small things That's all. Besides, Xu Liu is a very good girl in the first place, and it hurts a lot."

Li Chengye was able to stand still, so he said this time: "We really didn't do anything."

Xu Kewu smiled, seeing people now, for some reason, he felt that the two people in front of him were very kind, and he felt an inexplicable affection in his heart.

"Hey, this is Xiaoxi and Xiaobei, right? They are still twins. I heard that they will be going to the third grade soon?" Needless to say, Xu Kewu looked at Xiaoxi and Xiaobei who had been obediently listening to the adults. Although the two children looked very obedient, their big eyes were rolling around.It looked so cute, he couldn't help touching the heads of the two children.

Li Chengye hurriedly said: "That's right, I will be in the third grade in September."

Then he said to the two children: "Xiaoxi and Xiaobei are called Grandpa Xu and Uncle Xu."

Xiaoxi Xiaobei obediently said: "Grandpa Xu, Uncle Xu."

"Hey, be good, be good." Xu Jintu has a daughter named Xu Liu. He was busy when he was young, but now he really likes such a big child.

Xu Liu looked at it for a while, and saw that her father seemed to like her godmother's family very much, and she felt relieved, and hurriedly said: "Dad, godmother, let's go into the house, the uncle inside should have already prepared the food. Ready."

"Okay, okay." Xu Jintu nodded, leading Mother Li to the front, and Li Chengye and the others followed behind.

There were two people sitting in the hall on the first floor at this moment, one was Mr. Xu, and the other was Xu Jinliang, the boss of the Xu family.

Hearing the commotion outside, Mr. Xu and Xu Jinliang also came out to welcome them, and the two groups met at the door.

"Grandpa." Seeing Mr. Xu on crutches, Xu Liu hurried forward to support him.

"Grandpa, this is my godmother..." Xu Liu introduced happily.

Mr. Xu looked over with a smile, but when he saw Mother Li, he blinked violently a few times, as if he saw some incredible person, he staggered and took two steps back.Xu Jinliang was behind him, and now Mr. Xu's back was leaning on Xu Jinliang.

He couldn't help holding his right hand on Xu Jinliang's right hand with a little force, just like his mood at this time.Xu Jinliang also stared intently at the person who came in. The familiar look was almost the same as the one he had seen in his dream. At this moment, he could no longer care about the pain in his hand.

The difference between the two of them was not concealed at all, and almost everyone could see it. Opposite them, Li's mother was also stunned at this time. She looked at Xu Jinliang in front of her in a strange way, as if she saw something strange. People who should see are average.

The atmosphere became silent all of a sudden, and even Xu Liu's words that hadn't finished his introduction disappeared.Xu Kewu looked a little puzzled, and couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, Dad, what's wrong with you?"

His words seemed to break the pent-up silence, Mr. Xu slowly spit out a name, "Jinmei!"

Li's mother was shocked when she heard this name, and an incredible idea appeared in her mind, "Father? Big brother?"

Xu Jinliang finally couldn't bear it any longer, and helped Mr. Xu take two steps forward, "Second Sister, it's really you, are you still alive?"

Mr. Xu was afraid that the person in front of him was just an illusion, so he looked greedily at the woman who was over fifty years old. Although her face was wrinkled, she could still see the figure of her childhood, and she was really the same as him first. Mrs. Ren is very similar, with traces of memory in the corners of her eyes and brows.

"You guys are still alive!" Li's mother, no, it should be Xu Jinmei. Obviously, she didn't expect that the dead person in her memory would appear in front of her again without a trace of defense after more than 40 years. The intersection will actually be under such an opportunity.

The others present were a little confused, and Xu Liu was even more inconceivable. How this godmother became her aunt is too amazing.

"Jinmei." Mr. Xu was old after all, and when he suddenly saw his dead daughter, he was very excited for a moment, and couldn't help but took two steps forward and hugged Xu Jinmei.

Xu Jinmei also couldn't help crying. For many years, she thought she was an orphan, but she didn't expect to have relatives so suddenly, and there were more than one.

The most difficult thing to do at this time is Xu Jinliang. He is a soldier after all, and he is the pillar of the Xu family. He has to support his father and comfort his sister, and he is also very excited, so he is almost overwhelmed.

Li Chengye was also a little dumbfounded at this meeting, why did this become a relative recognition meeting, and it seemed that he had an extra grandfather, two uncles, and some cousins.

"Father, why is grandma crying?" Xiaoxi tugged at Li Chengye's sleeve, his face was full of anxiety, he hadn't figured out what happened yet, but when he saw grandma crying, he thought she was sad .

However, Xiao Bei stepped forward, suddenly took Mother Li's hand, and shook it, "Grandma, don't cry, don't be sad, Xiao Bei will give you sweets." He took out a candy from his pocket.Xiaobei loves candy, he has already finished his candy for today, this one was given to him by his brother, and somehow he kept it until now.

When Xu Jinmei heard her little grandson's words, she felt very warm in her heart. She quickly wiped away her tears, pulled away from the sadness of several people, and said to Xiaobei with a smile: "Thank you Xiaobei, grandma is not sad anymore, this candy you Just keep it for yourself!"
