After Liao Ming finished washing, Liao Tingyu and the two children stood by the carriage and asked people to move the things in the carriage down one by one and place them one by one.
“I don’t know what they sent here?” Liao Tingyu said.
“Uncle, what was it like where you and Dad grew up?” Mi Gao was very curious.
Liao Tingyu didn’t know how to describe it, and there was nothing special about the place where he grew up.
To be special, in fact, this place had sheep and cows. In his old village, cows were very precious and horse was rarely seen there.
“There are beautiful mountain and fields with clean river.”
Liao Shi came over and saw his little brother being so entangled and shook his head. Maybe for the little brother, his hometown was not a very good memory.
And it was very short-lived. The little brother had never done farm work and spent most of his time studying. He didn’t know many things.
But for him, everything in his hometown existed for the first half of his life.
Liao Shi held the child in his arms, sat down next to Liao Tingyu, and described to the child interesting stories from his childhood.
Listening to Liao Shi’s description, Liao Tingyu saw a naughty child near the house, climbing a tree into the water, digging out bird eggs, catching fish, and picking fruits to secretly sell wine.
“What is uncle doing?” Mi Gao asked in confusion after listening to his dad’s description.
“Your uncle, he was very smart when he was a child. When he was as old as you, he learned to read and write from the village chief’s son. At that time, the family was poor and there was no money for your uncle to study, so your uncle sneaked away to the town school. All alone…”
Liao Tingyu listened to Liao Shi talking about his affairs, as if listening to a story, with no waves in his heart, and his memory was like a fleeting glance.
.
Liao Ming saw this when he came over. The greatest success in his life was that the two brothers supported each other.
Along the way, he saw many brothers who were from the same mother. Some were rich, while others were poor.
In the past, he was proud that his youngest son became a powerful official, but now he was proud of his youngest son’s dedication.
“You are talking about things from the past. If you want to know more about it, you can come and ask grandpa. Now we are going to look at the gifts from the village chief and others. Do you want to see what they gave us?”
The child nodded and went to open the box.
Liao Tingyu also came over. He knew what the specialties were in his hometown, but he still looked forward to a surprise. After all, no matter what the villagers gave, it was always a sincere gift.
“It turns out that the villagers asked the village chief to send it here! I was wondering, why are there so many? You must be familiar with this thing.” Liao Ming picked up a bug woven from grass and said to Liao Tingyu.
Liao Tingyu looked at this lifelike straw weaving and smiled happily: “It was made by Liao Donggua. He is the only one who has this skill. When I was a child, he also gave me a bamboo dragonfly.”
“Yes, this guy looks tough and strong, I don’t know why his hands are so skillful making these delicate things,” Liao Shi was very jealous. Liao Donggua relied on this craft and always sold a lot of money at every gathering.
Furthermore, that man was about the same size as him, but those little girls like to hang around Liao Donggua.
“These are shoes.” Mother Deng picked up a pair of embroidered shoes and touched the flowers carefully. The person who made this pair of shoes was someone she had never liked.
After so many years, she didn’t know how that woman had become. She used to always speak ill of her son.
Every time the two people meet, they always fighting.
The most special thing among them was a piece of calligraphy sent by the Fifth Grandfather. Although it was not beautiful, the meaning was outstanding.
It said “Serve the country and the people, don’t be greedy.” These words used up all the strength of the old man and contained all the old man’s wishes.
Liao Tingyu looked at this very inspirational and low-quality paper and said: “It’s really embarrassing for me. He is still worrying about me at such an old age.”
“Who says it’s not the case? When I went back, the old man could no longer walk and spoke with a vague smile. He was fuzzy and all his teeth were missing. When he saw that I was back, he kept looking at me, just to see if you had gone back.” Liao Ming sighed as he recalled the scene when he met the fifth uncle.
“Dad, there is no need for you to be like this. If I don’t go back, the old man will probably feel more relieved. As an official, how can I leave casually? If I go back, the old man will probably cry.” Liao Tingyu said.
“It’s not like I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m just feeling a little emotional.”
“I will keep these words. This is the old man’s wish.” Liao Tingyu said.
The things Huang Hao sent over were more normal. Many of them were books. Liao Tingyu flipped through it and found another letter inside. The general content was about what he had done over the years and what interesting things he had encountered, and then asked him if he was okay.
Between the lines, Liao Tingyu seemed to see that free and easy rich man who didn’t care about heaven and earth again.
Huang Zilan also saw it and said: “My cousin has not changed at all after all these years.”
Huang Yujin sent items suitable for his status as a businessman. He gave a lot of money and hard-to-buy cloth. What struck him most strangely was he also gave him some kidney-tonifying and yang-improving things. What were you using these for?
The others were some gifts from friends, and they were probably returning the favor, which was very thoughtful.
