Chapter 1160 Looking forward to it
Professor Wu replied, “She’s alive, and doing quite well. After my aunt was separated from her family during the war, she was injured and taken to Northeast China. There, she met like-minded people and participated in key research projects, living in anonymity for many years… She’s much more remarkable than you all. She has three sons and three daughters, and her children and grandchildren are all successful and sensible!”
Wu Zhenhua and Wu Meihua were overjoyed as they listened, and they cried tears of happiness. Indeed, their hearts could not take it for long, and the medical staff gave them quick-acting heart medicine.
Professor Wu reminded them: "Uncle, Mom, calm down. This is a good thing... I know you want to go back to China, but there weren't any people you wanted to see there before, so... that's why you've been reluctant to go back."
With the reassurance of medical staff and Professor Wu, the two elderly people finally calmed down.
"I also have photos!" Professor Wu took out his laptop, placed it on the table, opened his email, and downloaded the photos.
The two elderly people waited anxiously, and Wu Meihua's hands trembled slightly with excitement. Wu Zhenhua patted his sister's hand and gently comforted her, "Don't be nervous. Once we find you, I'll have the face to face our parents in the afterlife."
Wu Meihua choked up and said, "Brother, in this era of great upheaval and constant warfare, it is already a great miracle that we are still alive. Brother, please don't blame yourself."
As the photos were downloaded one by one, Wu Zhenhua and Wu Meihua, brother and sister with white hair, leaned closer to the computer, took out their reading glasses, put them on, and carefully examined each one.
"Yes, this is a family photo. Big brother, this is a photo of you and us taken before you left for university. This one is of your sister-in-law... It's a pity she didn't live to see this day. Sister, this is my sister. She was so beautiful when she was young... Oh, and your husband is good-looking too, tall and handsome. Of course, anyone my sister would choose is definitely not an ordinary person."
“One, two, three… My goodness, my sister is amazing. No wonder Sisi said that our two families only have three children, but my sister has three sons and three daughters, all of whom are tall, handsome and beautiful… Look at this recent family photo, a large and prosperous family, that’s been achieved by my sister. On the contrary, we clearly have better living conditions, so why didn’t we have more children?”
Wu Meihua chattered on and on, her tone cheerful, as if she had returned to the little girl protected by her older sister and brother. Wu Zhenhua looked at his younger sister in the photo with doting eyes, then focused on her and carefully examined the people around them.
Professor Wu listened attentively, her eyes slightly red. She hadn't seen such vibrant smiles from the two elderly people in a long time.
"Mom, Uncle, I've already contacted my second cousin on my aunt's side. They'll send someone over to pay their respects to you and take you home. My aunt's cousin has bought back the old Wu family house, and it's already been renovated. What do you think…?"
Wu Zhenhua hurriedly instructed, "Go and complete all the necessary procedures as quickly as possible. I can't wait to go home. If I'm going to die this time, I want to die in China."
Wu Meihua nodded: "Me too, I get to see my sister again. Sisi, do you want me to dye my hair? Look, my hair is all white, it doesn't look good."
Professor Wu advised, "You'll always be my aunt's adorable little sister."
Wu Meihua smiled, touched her hair, and drifted into memories, repeatedly telling her daughter, "That's right, at least I still have a lot of hair. I'll have my sister braid my hair. My sister is so skilled; the hairstyles she braids for me are always imitated by everyone at school..."
Wu Zhenhua looked at his little sister with doting eyes, as if time had turned back seventy years. Back then, his grandparents and parents were all there, and they would chase and play in the yard.
Until his grandfather refused to cooperate with the Japanese and was killed in a staged car accident. After that, the Wu family gradually declined. His parents also passed away, and they too plunged into the revolutionary tide, searching for truth amidst the chaos.
Time has passed, and everything has changed like fleeting clouds. It turns out that what we can't let go of most are our blood relatives.
Wu Zhenhua called his two sons to tell them about the matter and discuss how to go back.
Similarly, on the other side of the earth.
Liu Meilan and Professor Xie learned the news in the middle of the night and were so excited they couldn't sleep. They kept the news to themselves, and the next day, both mother and daughter had dark circles under their eyes.
When Wu Songhua (Grandma Xie) saw her daughter's dark circles, she frowned slightly and said, "You're already this age, why are you still staying up late? Go to bed early and get up early, and balance work and rest."
Professor Xie excitedly hugged his mother: "Mom, I have to tell you, we have found my uncle and aunt."
Wu Songhua touched his daughter's forehead and chuckled, "Still dreaming? I know you want to fulfill my wish, but you can't talk in your sleep!"
Professor Xie pulled his mother aside: "Mom, sit down, I'll show you the photos!"
The photos have been downloaded; just open them.
Liu Meilan quickly took Wu Songhua's glasses: "Grandma, glasses! Calm down, don't get agitated. Your great-uncle and great-aunt are both fine."
Professor Xie clicked on the photo, and Wu Songhua was stunned. After looking closely, her lips trembled slightly: "It's...it's my brother, it's my sister...Qingya, Meilan, where are they?"
Professor Xie replied, "In the United States, I reconnected with my cousin, Wu Sisi..."
Although Wu Songhua was excited, after recuperating here for a period of time, she was in good condition. After taking a few deep breaths and calming down, she burst into tears: "It's so good to be alive. I've finally waited for my brother and sister!"
Grandpa Xie patted his wife on the shoulder: "I knew they were so smart, they would all be doing well. I arranged for the second and third sons to go to America and bring their great-uncle and great-aunt back."
Wu Songhua asked, "To the Northeast?"
This place is not suitable for hosting the older brother and younger sister; Wu Songhua doesn't want to cause trouble for his daughter.
Liu Meilan waved the key in her hand: "Grandma, this is the key to the Wu family's old house in Shanghai. I bought the old house back and restored the furniture according to the photos you took. However, many of the furniture pieces are no longer there, so I had to use similar ones instead. I was planning to give you a gift for your 83rd birthday, but I didn't expect to have to tell you in advance."
"Huh?" Wu Songhua was dumbfounded. "The Wu family's old house?"
Professor Xie nodded: "Yes, Meilan and I are organizing and designing furniture together. It's good to be able to find our old memories when we can't find the siblings."
Holding her daughter, Wu Songhua felt like the happiest person in the world.
Once everyone had calmed down and sat back down at the table, Professor Xie said with a smile, "This is good news. Come on, let's all have a cup of soy milk together."
Everyone was very supportive, raising their cups of soy milk and clinking them together.
"I'll call Yiwen in a bit and have him go over there," Professor Xie said. "Second Brother probably doesn't have a passport and needs to apply for a visa, which will take a long time. My younger brother travels abroad frequently and has a visa, and Yiwen does too. They can buy tickets and go anytime."
Wu Songhua nodded: "Okay, then let Lao Liu and Yiwen go together. If I were younger, I would go by myself."
Liu Meilan beamed, "Grandma, let me get ready, and I'll take you and Grandpa to Shanghai. Then my great-uncle and great-aunt will go directly to the Wu family's old house!"
