1960's Daily Struggle

Extra 3.5

Ge Cuihua's head was heavy, and it took a while to recover, "Oh, it's okay, Xiaozhou, what did you just say?"

Cheng Zhou: "Ma'am, I said earlier that I came here to look for relatives."

Ge Cuihua: "Looking for relatives? What kind of relatives are you looking for?"

Cheng Zhou looked sad, and said in a low voice the reason he made up in advance, "Auntie, I will not hide it from you. Auntie, I just said that I am from the town, but I am not.

"To be precise, I came from Kyoto, so I had no choice but to come here to join my relatives."

"Before my mother left, she asked me to go to her relatives. But my mother left in a hurry and didn't have time to explain clearly. I could only find this place based on the general information my mother gave. "

Cheng Zhou paused for a moment, with an embarrassing expression on his face: "I really have no choice but to come here and ask the village chief."

Only then did Ge Cuihua understand the reason for Cheng Zhou's visit, and said swiftly: "It's easy to handle, my aunt has spent half her life in the village, and most of the people in the nearby villages know each other. Even if aunt doesn't know her, she can help you find out. Inquire. Comrade Xiaozhou, tell me first what are the names of your relatives?"

Cheng Zhou said with a wry smile: "Ma'am, I don't know, my mother didn't have time to tell. She just told me that she was young at the time, and she was naughty and playful, but she met... met a 'person' who abducted her and left home. ..."

Cheng Zhou spoke very euphemistically, omitting a lot of abduction and trafficking, and said in a vague tone: "Fortunately, my mother is also lucky. I met my father's family on the way and rescued her. My grandfather wanted to send my mother home. But at that time my mother was young, she didn’t know everything, and there were wars everywhere outside, so my grandfather took my mother all the way north to escape in order to avoid the war.”

When Ge Cuihua heard it, her heart suddenly thumped, thinking of her little sister who was abducted more than 20 years ago, she hurriedly asked: "Good boy, tell your mother, your mother...does she have...does she have any facial features?" ?”

Speaking of the latter, Ge Cuihua couldn't help sobbing, and looked straight at Cheng Zhou, with a glimmer of hope rekindled in her heart.

Cheng Zhou said: "My mother has a red mole between her eyebrows since she was a child—"

Before the words were finished, Ge Cuihua burst into tears, hugged Cheng Zhou tightly and cried loudly, "My little girl, I haven't heard from you for so many years, and my eldest sister thought I would never find you again...It's my fault, my eldest sister That would be confusing, leaving you at home alone, and then meeting a god-damned human trafficker, causing you to be abducted at such a young age..."

Big hands as rough as cattail fans hugged Cheng Zhou's back tightly, and when he lowered his head, there was Aunt Ge's soft breast exuding a maternal breath. Cheng Zhou's face turned red, and he didn't know where to put his hands in embarrassment.

"Mother, can you... let go of me first?"

Although Cheng Zhou had expected the possible reaction of the aunt, but he did not expect the aunt to be so emotional.

On the other side of the kitchen, Ge Xiufang suddenly heard her mother-in-law crying loudly, and the knife for chopping up rabbit meat suddenly tilted. Thinking that something happened to her mother-in-law, she hurried to the main room to find out.

"Mom, what's the matter? What happened?"

But she saw her mother-in-law holding the little comrade who came to visit and crying so hard that she couldn't help herself, and the little comrade named Xiaozhou also looked at Ge Xiufang in a bewildered manner, with clear eyes looking at her crisply.
