The whole story

He Daqing also entertained everyone with the fine wine he had collected for many years. Everyone, except the underage Xu Jingtian and the two little guys, raised their glasses and drank together.

Chen Xueru said with emotion after eating these Tan family dishes: "I have long heard that the second-ranked dish is famous all over the capital, and today's first-ranked dish is indeed well-deserved."

When we were all almost full, He Yuyu couldn't help but ask: "Dad, what were your last resort reasons and followed Aunt Bai to leave the capital and come to Baoding, which made me think that you and Aunt Bai should not elope together?"

My eldest brother and I are together.

Twenty years ago, my eldest brother and I came to Baoding to look for you, but you cruelly refused to see us for this reason, leaving me and my eldest brother to spend a night in the cold ice and snow."

He Daqing took a sip of wine and said: "It's a long story. I married Miss Tan Wenjia from the Tan family, got the Tan family cuisine recipe and inherited the Tan family cuisine.

As I studied hard and practiced hard, my reputation gradually spread, and many dignitaries asked me to cook. Later, the Japanese invaded our country and occupied the capital and established a puppet government. Those traitors and scoundrels used some despicable means to ask me to cook for them to please their masters.

.

Later, I had to run for the stewardship of the Siheyuan to assist the neighborhood committee. Yi Zhonghai and I were both popular candidates for the position. Moreover, Yi Zhonghai and I were very good friends. He knew that I had cooked for Japanese people.

I didn’t expect that he knew people but didn’t know his heart. For the sake of his false reputation, he threatened me to withdraw from the competition for the stewardship. Otherwise, he would report me and say I was a traitor. Under his threat, I quit the court as an official.

I was in the competition with the uncle, and he got his wish and became the uncle. Then he started to make things difficult for me, both overtly and covertly.

Later, in 1955, I met Zirui's mother again and told her all her troubles. She advised me to take you away to a foreign country. However, Yi Zhonghai found out and threatened me if I took you away.

If I leave, he will report me and make our whole family uneasy.

I had no choice but to entrust you to the care of your mother's distant aunt, an old deaf lady, and told her about Yi Zhonghai. Her husband and son were both martyrs. As a military relative, Yi Zhonghai did not dare to touch her.

With her taking care of you, you can grow up safely.

As for when you came to Baoding 20 years ago to find me, I was afraid that seeing you being soft-hearted and leaving you would irritate Yi Zhonghai. At that time, your Aunt Bai kept trying to persuade me to meet you, but I cruelly refused. Seeing you here

I was shivering in the ice and snow, and my heart felt like a knife."

At this point, he took a sip of wine to calm down his agitated mood, and continued: "After I left that year, I agreed with Yi Zhonghai to send 20 yuan of living expenses every month for him to transfer to you, but I didn't expect that he would secretly

Hiding it from you.

What's even more outrageous is that he actually set his sights on your brother. Not only did he want your brother to provide for him until his death, but he also teamed up with a widow to make your brother homeless.

He even wanted the widow to give him a child. He planned to let the widow marry your brother when she was pregnant, and let your brother take advantage of him and raise the child for him. But he tried all his tricks and didn't expect that the widow was not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

Once he got into the ring, all his plans were in vain.

Now, Zi Rui has revealed his true identity and his reputation has been ruined. This is really an unsatisfactory retribution due to the cycle of nature." He gritted his teeth and looked ferocious at the end.

He Yuzhu comforted him and said: "Dad, now Yi Zhonghai has been exposed by Zi Rui and has been punished and ruined. I can no longer threaten you with your old stories. This time you can come back to the capital with us and let us be better."

A family reunion.”

He Daqing waved his hand and said, "Not yet! Although Yi Zhonghai has been ruined, once I return to the capital, he will really dig out these old accounts to the death, and our whole family will suffer."

Except for the two little guys, everyone present was filled with emotion when they heard these past events of He Daqing and thought about the situation in which he had a family and could not return and had children who could not see each other. The atmosphere at the scene was a little heavy for a moment.

Bai Zirui thought to himself: "When this 10-year storm sweeping the country is over in October, and the country is on the right track, we can bring He Daqing back to the capital in an open and fair manner. Then we won't have to worry about Yi Zhonghai threatening him with his excuses."

He got it."

Before he opened his mouth to speak, He Daqing laughed loudly and said: "My long-lost brother has been found. This is a big happy event for our family. We should celebrate well today and don't bother us by mentioning those old sesame seeds and rotten millet things.

Our interest."

Bai Zirui said hurriedly: "Dad is right, come... come! Let's all raise a toast together to celebrate the reunion of dad and uncle after many years of hardship. I wish their brotherhood will always last."

Under the initiative of He Daqing and Bai Zirui, everyone raised a toast to congratulate the two twin brothers He Daqing and Cai Quanwu for their reunion after being separated for many years.

After drinking this glass of wine, everyone temporarily put aside the heavy topics and started chatting and laughing. He Daqing even told the anecdotes he had encountered while searching for his brother over the years.

He smiled and said: "One year when I was cooking a banquet for a chef in Zhengyangmen, I met a man who looked exactly like me. At first I thought he was my long-lost brother.

I tried every possible means to become friends with him and got him drunk. Only when I saw that there was no plum blossom-shaped birthmark on his back did I realize that I had recognized the wrong person.

I sincerely apologized to him later. After he knew the whole story, he was moved by my struggle to find a brother and became sworn brothers with me, just like Yang Liulang and his sworn brother Ren Bing and Ren Tanghui."

When Bai Zirui heard this, he thought to himself, this person that the cheap daddy was talking about could not be Mr. Guan, the Admiral of the Nine Gates! Sure enough, He Daqing continued: "My sworn brother's ancestor was a tax collector in Daqianmen, and someone in my family worked in the Nine Gates

Admiral, he is also known as the "Admiral of the Nine Gates"."

Cai Quanwu said in amazement: "My eldest brother and I are twin brothers who look exactly the same. I didn't expect that there are people who look so similar to us. The world is really full of wonders. I must pay a visit when I have time when I return to the capital."

Chen Xueru said jokingly to Xu Huizhen: Huizhen, let's go and see him then to see if he looks exactly like Brother He and Lao Cai, so as not to make a joke when you meet you outside and admit that you have the wrong husband."

Xu Huizhen nodded and said, "Okay! Let's make an appointment with Lao Cai to visit him."

Xu Jingtian joined in the fun and said, "Mom, Aunt Chen, I will go with you then."
