Rebirth to 80s: Daughter-in-law is a Bit Spicy

"His name is Xu Zhongyi. He was born in the early winter of 1938. He went abroad in March 1966. He was 28 years old that year. My daughter-in-law was named Cui Yiru. She was two years younger than Zhong Yi. She was born on the fifth day of June 1940. They went abroad. Shi also took my little grandson Xu Changle, Lele was only 5 years old..."

Xia Xiaolan calculated in her heart that she went abroad in March 1966, and it has been exactly 20 years now.

The prosperous Xu Zhongyi is now a middle-aged uncle, and grandma Yu's well-behaved grandson should also be 25 years old.

"I remember you said that Uncle Xu arrived in San Francisco, USA, and sent back a letter?"

Grandma Yu stood up, "You wait, I have always carried this letter with me, and it's well preserved."

Grandma Yu returned to the house and took a yellowed envelope.

Xia Xiaolan looked at the postmark, and it was indeed sent from San Francisco on September 19, 1966.

And it was the first year that Xu Zhongyi took his wife and children abroad. It can be seen that he sent a letter to China as soon as he settled down. Grandma Yu signaled that she could open it and have a look. The letter was quite long, saying at the beginning that he had arrived in the United States safely and was ready to settle in San Francisco.

He said that his son was not filial. When he arrived in the United States, he had to sell the antiques he brought when he left home to settle down.

However, he and Cui Ruyi will find a job in the United States as soon as possible. After another year at most, he will be able to return to China to pick up his parents if he obtains the resident status.

"The letter was sent in 1966, but when did you receive the letter..."

Grandma Yu’s face was unsightly, “Not long after the three of Zhongyi’s family left, the situation in China changed. I couldn’t receive this letter if it was sent directly to me. It was directly confiscated, and it took a long time for a friend to take the risk to help. Bring it to me, it was already October 1968."

Grandma Yu remembered very clearly that someone was beaten and humiliated in her house, and she and her husband felt that they could not make it through.

In the evening, a former friend brought them the letter, which became a life-saving straw in despair.

Xu Zhongyi arrived in the United States with his wife and children safely, and said that he would return to China to pick up her and her husband. The hope of a family reunion is in front of them. Grandma Yu and her husband must have kindled hope.

"The antiques he brought abroad by Zhong Yi are all from Yu's family before. It is the good thing that Yu's family left for me before he went abroad. It was in the United States in the 1960s, and it can definitely be exchanged for a large sum of money!"

Xia Xiaolan added: "The United States is a society where money is supreme. With money, you can get your identity."

It is illegal for people with no money to go to capitalist countries called "smuggling".

The rich go to call it "investment", and it is definitely welcome to bring money there.

Isn't it easy for rich people to get a US green card?

"But this is the only letter from Uncle Xu to you? Can you be sure that it is Uncle Xu's handwriting?"

Grandma Yu nodded:

"Nonsense, I don’t know what my son wrote? Not only did Zhong Yi bring the antiques left to me by my natal family, he was friendly and not illiterate. Zhong Yi could speak English and German, meaning that he would have studied piano for many years. Once you got your status, it was easy to find a job in the United States. Afterwards, you never came back without a letter. Your Grandpa Xu broke down, so I closed my eyes first."

It's not that no one has said that Xu Zhongyi's lack of news must be an accident in the United States.

How could Grandma Yu believe it?

To see people in life, and to see corpses in death!

Xia Xiaolan knew: "Maybe the country was closed to the outside world during those years, and the news was interrupted. If Uncle Xu finds home, will he find you in the small yard of Shangdu? Now the yard is where my aunt and her maiden-in-law live, and the neighborhood committee also calls us. After greeting, maybe I haven't found anyone when I go abroad, so Uncle Xu will return home to find relatives himself!"

To say that the news was interrupted in the turbulent years, it has been 7 years of reform and opening up. Even the domestic side can go to the United States to study. George, an American, has been jumping in China. It shouldn’t be difficult to come back from the United States...

Xia Xiaolan also felt a little bad in her heart. Most of the accidents happened because of human resources. But Grandma Yu is now supported by this belief, and she can't let the old lady discourage her.

I have to try my best to cheer up my grandma.

Grandma Yu is such a shrewd person, I don't know if she didn't hear it, or subconsciously just wants to hear what she wants to hear:

"You're right, in case Zhong Yi finds it back by himself, I think so, so I have been guarding the house. When Zhong Yi went abroad, he left that house."

So the small building in Erqi Square can be given to Xia Xiaolan, but the house she lives in is not good enough. This is Grandma Yu's persistence.

Xia Xiaolan followed Grandma Yu and said something.

A photo of Xu Zhongyi and Cui Yiru were taken from Grandma Yu, and a family portrait of a family of five at the photo gallery when Grandma Yu’s grandson Xu Changle was born.

At that time, Grandma Yu was estimated to be in her forties, her back was straight and her eyes were very energetic. From the photo, her face was round and round, unlike what she is now.

"You looked so good when you were young."

Grandma Yu snorted, not too fond of listening to Xia Xiaolan's flattery: "That's it? It's already time to live a hard life!"

When she was young, Yu's family was "Yu Bancheng" in business, and that was really called Xianyi Numa.

At that time, she was holding the gold and antiques left by her family, and she didn't dare to use it in China. In fact, the family had a tight life. But the whole family can stay together, even if it goes from fine clothes and jade food to rough tea and light rice, it is also happiness.

Grandma Yu doesn't regret hearing the wind and sent her son's family out of the country ahead of schedule. Yu's family is not good, her husband's Xu's is not good, and his daughter-in-law Cui Yiru, what good things can be in a family that allows her daughter to learn piano for many years?

Those who stayed are all targets of criticism.

Her little grandson, Bai Bai Nennen, has just passed his 5th birthday, and may not be able to survive in China.

Going abroad is at least a hope, and it is also a bit of a crime on the road... Grandma Yu did not expect that the turmoil would last for so many years, and all foreign and domestic news would be interrupted.

Xia Xiaolan slapped her flattery on the horse's **** and quickly said business: "Then, do you remember that Uncle Xu took away those antiques? If they moved away from San Francisco, the antiques that were sold might still be hidden in the United States. It’s possible to find out from this aspect."

This is a method.

At that time, no one would take photos of antiques. Grandma Yu could only write a list to Xia Xiaolan based on her memory. It showed what Xu Zhongyi took away, what the things looked like, which dynasty, and what styles, etc. Etc.

"They want to go abroad. They can't take big items. These things are considered small and valuable. Apart from these, there is only a box of large yellow croaker...Ah, I don't know how much trouble the Zhongyi family has suffered abroad!"

Xia Xiaolan blinked, "You didn't mean the big yellow croaker you were eating, did you?"

What bitterness to eat!

A box of large yellow croaker!

A "big yellow croaker" refers to twelve taels of gold. How much does a box weigh? #### Good night, see you tomorrow~
