Perhaps because of his sadness and anger, he looked extremely haggard and seemed to have grown older than teenagers.

The third uncle didn’t know Liao Zongnan, and Xue’s father had only heard of it, so Xue Ling had to introduce them one by one.

When Chen heard that Liao Zongnan was Cai Yunyan's husband, he suddenly widened his eyes and shouted excitedly: "You are a big man! Why don't you care about your wife?"

Xue Heng hurriedly grabbed her and whispered: "Mom! What are you doing?!"

Chen cried excitedly: "Your dad is gone, he doesn't want me anymore! He really took that woman away! What am I doing?! What else can I do?! Ah?!"

Liao Zongnan's face was a little stiff and he said in a deep voice: "Madam, please don't talk nonsense. My wife would never do such a thing. Also, the matter between us and our wife cannot be tolerated by others. Please respect yourself."

Uncle San could not have thought that the atmosphere was so stiff before he could speak up, so he became a peacemaker.

"Don't be excited first. Zhilan and Xiao Cai are probably stuck with something and cannot contact their home for the time being. Before the parties involved admit it personally, we should not speculate on ourselves, hurt the people we should trust, and let others watch jokes."

The last sentence is naturally for Chen.

After hearing this, Chen cried softly, not daring to be excited anymore, and snuggled in Xue Heng's arms.

Xue Heng was a little embarrassed and hurriedly comforted his mother and sat down.

Xue’s mother, who was standing beside her, hurried forward, sat on the other side, handed her a tissue to comfort her: “Don’t think about it first, things may not be what you thought.”

Cheng Tianyuan hurried to pour water.

After sitting down with his third uncle, he quickly went straight to the point.

The third uncle looked at Liao Zongnan and explained: "In the past, both of our families were wealthy families on the east side of the city. We lived in front and Cai's family lived in the back. The Cai family's population and status were not as big as us, but they were also big families and were very close to our family. Zhilan was grown up when I watched him. Xiao Cai was about the same age as him. When they were young, they often played together. They were childhood sweethearts."

Xue's father whispered: "Zhilan has been good since childhood, and many girls like him. However, he and Xiao Cai are closest to each other. They often go to school together and do homework together. Until later, something happened to our family, we had to go our separate ways and could not stay in the old house. At that time, Zhilan refused to leave... He said that he wanted to be with Xiao Cai, and hoped that we would help him decide, and at least he had to make a marriage contract before leaving."

Xue Ling whispered: "It must be that it was not ordered, right?"

"No." The third uncle sighed softly, frowned tightly, "At that time, our family was suddenly in a disaster, and the situation outside was messy. The eldest brother and the second brother were beaten and arrested when they stood in front of us. The males in the family must find their way out quickly, otherwise it might be too late. Xiao Cai cried, but her parents and elders dared not respond, and even hurriedly drew a clear line with our family. In the scene at that time, it was no wonder that they did this, but Zhilan was very sad and packed his bags and left angrily."

Dad Xue nodded and sighed: "At that time, no one dared to deal with us... When the Cai family saw that our family was in a downturn, they were worried that they would be implicated by the engagement. How could they agree? We dared not make decisions for Zhilan, and the Cai family refused to be together, so they politely refused. I heard that they even locked up Xiao Cai."

The third uncle continued: "Later, Zhilan studied medicine and then distributed it to the south, so he must have cut off contact with Xiao Cai. At that time, the carriage and horses were slow, communication was inconvenient, and it was often impossible to receive letters. Zhilan met his sister-in-law during the internship, and soon got married and became a family. It was far away, so everyone could only meet at the old house occasionally during the New Year. We were like this with Zhilan, let alone the Cai family who had moved away. Therefore, Zhilan must have not been able to contact Xiao Cai again before."

Chen hurriedly said: "At the end of last month, Ling Ling was hospitalized... The man named Cai came here to see her... He met him again at the gate of the hospital. From that time on, he was in a daze and his soul was hooked!"

Xue Heng pressed her shoulders and whispered: "Mom, don't say that to dad."

Chen whispered: "What I said is true!"

Liao Zongnan frowned and whispered: "Yan'er is not as detailed as me. She only said that she was a childhood sweetheart. She once fell in love with each other, but her fate made people feel bad, and she was not together in the end. Later, she went to the countryside to continue studying, and met me instead. Then we organized our family to be together."

The third uncle looked at Chen and asked, "Sister-in-law, what did you argue the day before yesterday? Zhilan would suddenly ask for leave - did you stimulate him if you said something?"

"I-I don't!" Chen cried again: "I'm angry. What annoyed that he can't forget the old man. He has been married to me for so many years and his children have married a wife. How could he still remember the old man? It's so hateful! I scolded him and even threw his things!"

Xue Ling touched his nose and asked, "Auntie, did you say something that hurts Uncle Zhilan's self-esteem?"

"What do I hurt him?" Chen was so excited that he shouted: "He is going to change his mind to me. It is clearly he who has been hurting me! Over the years, my hair and I have turned white, and I finally raised my son to be a human being, and the family reunited! How could he cruelly erase the hard work of me and him for more than 30 years! She and him have no worries about an old lover! Why can he keep it in mind!"

Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly explained: "Aunt, don't get me wrong. Ling Ling means that when you quarrel, you may be excited and say something that stimulates the other person's heart. If you say something heavy, maybe the other person will be too angry, and then you will do it impulsively."

Chen sighed and said angrily: "How can I remember so much? I couldn't sleep well for several days! My head hurts a lot!"

Xue Ling hurriedly gave Xue Heng a wink.

Xue Heng understood and whispered: "Mom, we are going to find dad now. But we have no idea. Think about it carefully, what did dad say to you at that time? How did you quarrel? Maybe you can give us some clues. Otherwise, in this vast sea of ​​people, how do you ask me to find dad back."

Chen burst into tears again and choked up: "He just missed that woman all day long! He didn't know where to find an old photo, which was a photo of him and that woman! Then he said something regretful, and said he was sorry for her, and said he wanted to take a few days off to fulfill his promise and fulfill his dreams. I was so angry that I heard it! How could he be entangled with that woman anymore! He didn't even see how old he was. He was in his fifties, so he was not ashamed to lose! He was ashamed!"

"Wait!" Xue Ling suddenly heard the trick, "Aunt, what promise should be fulfilled? Are you going where to go? Is there any specific location?"

Chen thought for a while and shook his head: "It seems like he was going to the place in the photo, saying that they had vowed to go to that place again. He said a lot and explained a lot, but the more I listened, the more annoyed I was, I was eager to come forward and tear the old photo!"

Uncle San narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's in the photo? Have you seen it clearly? Where is it? What's the background?"

Chen whispered: "I didn't see clearly, but I saw them snuggling together, and they all looked very young. Except for people, the rest of the world was very blurred."

Xue Heng, who was beside him, said "Ah!" and suddenly said excitedly: "Is it the old photo of Dad stuck in the medical dictionary?! Dad is probably in his teenage years, holding a very beautiful little girl - Ah Huan and I have seen it!"
