Chapter 295: Complicated Background
After Song Anning finished speaking, Chen Guanghui opened his mouth several times but couldn't say anything. He was a playboy, chatting with a bunch of friends all day long. He was a good talker, but when he faced his master, he was always speechless.
"That's not what I meant. Master, if you look closely, don't you think this girl looks a bit like my father? Could she be my father's illegitimate daughter?"
"..."
Song Anning rolled her eyes and looked up at the sky in silence.
"Brother Chen, please speak some human language...
Uncle Chen is almost sixty years old, and you still want to frame him. Sister Qiuyue is from our village, a native of Banyue Village.
Chen Guanghui chuckled, touched his chin thoughtfully, and still kept his eyes on Wang Qiuyue.
After a while, he asked again, "What about this girl's mother? Where is she from?"
"..."
"Her mother?"
Now it was Song Anning's turn to be dumbfounded. He only knew that Wang Qiuyue's mother had died in childbirth and had never heard of her maternal grandparents. He quickly grabbed Wang Qiuyue, who had just washed her hands, and asked:
"Sister Qiuyue, which village is your mother from? Why haven't you ever told me?"
Wang Qiuyue:?
A trace of confusion flashed across her face, and she stared at Song An Ning. "When my mother was alive, she never mentioned my maternal grandparents to me. She only said that she had a bad life and met the Wang family."
"..."
At this time, Zhang came out of the kitchen and saw several people standing together talking. She shouted and asked everyone to wash their hands and eat.
Song Anning took two steps forward and asked Grandma the same question.
"Where is Sister Qiuyue's maternal grandparents from? Why have I never heard you mention it?"
Zhang was stunned by her question, and looked at Wang Qiuyue puzzledly with a complicated expression.
"Okay, why are you asking this all of a sudden?
Qiuyue, didn't your mother tell you about this when she was alive?"
"Maybe I did. I was only a few years old when my mother passed away, and I don't remember many things very clearly."
Zhang nodded to show her understanding. She turned around and saw that Qin Yuanying and Liu had already brought the food to the table. They planned to let everyone eat first and talk about this matter later. After all, it was the first time for Chen Guanghui and Xiaochuan Xiaoyu to come to their home, so they couldn't neglect them.
"It's getting late, let's eat first. Qiuyue's mother's life story is complicated and can't be explained in just a few words."
After hearing what Zhang said, Wang Qiuyue and Song Anning hadn't had time to speak. Chen Guanghui showed anxiety and walked to Zhang's side in two steps, asking hurriedly:
"You tell me now, Auntie, you don't know that my eldest sister was taken away thirty years ago, and our family has been looking for her for many years.
I saw that this girl looked very much like my Chen family, so I took the liberty to ask.
"Your eldest sister?"
The three of them raised their voices and stared at Chen Guanghui without blinking. Wang Qiuyue held Song Anning's hand tightly, completely shocked.
“Thirty years ago, Linhai Town suffered a flood, followed by a plague.
Aunt should remember that many people died of that plague, and some people in our Chen family were also infected.
At that time, my eldest sister was only four years old, and my mother was pregnant with my eldest brother. My father was afraid that his wife and children would get sick, so he sent them to his family's more remote farm overnight.
It was also a coincidence that my mother gave birth on a rainy night. The farm was also hit by refugees, and that night the farm was in chaos. One of the maids who was looking after my sister died, and another was injured. My sister was also missing..."
"How could I not remember? So many people died that year. Thinking about it now, I still feel so upset."
Zhang frowned, her face showing sadness. Her father went out to work that year and never came back.
When I suddenly heard Chen Guanghui mention it, I felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing grandma like this, Song Anning knew that she would have a lot to say next, but grandpa and second grandfather were already preparing to entertain the guests for dinner in the house, and the children were waiting eagerly.
"Let's eat first. Brother Chen loves eggplants, and Zuixianju in Linhai Town has a limited supply. Aunt Yuanying has made several eggplant dishes today. Come inside and try them."
After she reminded her, Zhang remembered that the food was ready and invited Chen Guanghui into the house to eat.
Although Chen Guanghui was anxious to know the answer, he still went into the house obediently. In front of him, in addition to chicken, duck, fish and meat, there were also peppers, eggplants and preserved eggs that he rarely ate.
Putting aside what was on his mind for a moment, he picked up the fried eggplant box and took a bite. The skin was crispy and the aroma was fragrant.
It is filled with fillings and overflowing with juice, and paired with the unique flavor of eggplant, it is very novel.
"Master, this is so delicious, it's something I've never tasted before.
Who researched this way of eating?"
"Hahaha, the recipes for the chili and eggplant at Zuixianju were taught by Aning, and this fried eggplant box is something this girl just invented. Let's try something new..."
Song Dashan was very proud. He knew that Chen Guanghui came from a wealthy family and had eaten all kinds of delicacies, but the dishes in his family were all made by Qin Yuanying as taught by Aning. They were truly unique.
"Wow, is there anything Master that you don't know? Can I take some with me when I go back? My wife and younger sister really like the eggplants from Zuixianju, but they're often hard to find."
"Of course, I'll ask Aunt Yuanying to make some fresh of each and you can take them back to eat."
"Thank you, Master!"
Chen Guanghui ate until his belly was bulging. He only took two symbolic bites of the meat and vegetables, and ate half a plate of peppers and eggplants: tiger-skin chili peppers, peppers stuffed with meat, fried eggplant boxes, and braised eggplants...
"Master, why don't you open a restaurant? I'll definitely live there and have a different meal every day..."
"Haha... then I'm embarrassed to ask for money..."
Song An Ning replied to him jokingly, and the room was filled with joy.
At this time, Wang Sheng finished his meal at the children's table and was about to go out. When he passed by Chen Guanghui, he was grabbed by him.
"Whose child is this? He looks just like my older brother. Why do they all look so much like my family members? Haha..."
"..."
Everyone looked at each other. Song Anning recalled Chen Guangming's appearance and looked at Wang Sheng again. They were indeed similar.
"Master, do you remember? When you first saw Chen Guangming, you used your mind to tell me: I seem to have seen this person somewhere before."
"Yeah, I thought about it then but couldn't figure out who he looked like. Now that I see it, they're definitely father and son!"
"This is my brother, we share the same mother."
"..."
Wang Qiuyue said weakly that Wang Sheng looked very much like her mother. At that time, she was secretly cursing herself in her heart for not growing up well. Except for his eyebrows and eyes like her mother, his mouth was exactly the same as Wang Qingshan's.
Chen Guanghui stood up suddenly, his eyes swept over the faces of Wang Qiuyue and her brother, and he bowed to Zhang.
"Aunt, please help me understand. The mother of these two children..."
Zhang went forward to help Chen Guanghui up and asked him to sit down. Then she said to Song Dashan and Song Erhe:
"Qiuyue's mother should have some connection with this child's family. Second, let me tell you, you know more about the Wang family than we do."
Song Erhe put down his chopsticks, and thought back to thirty years ago, telling the story...
