Hong Yanwu was really excited. In order to find out the truth, I quickly gave "Tang Xin'er" a brief explanation of the past events in my family.
He said that he had a third uncle who left home to fight against Japan when he was 17 and never came back. The only contact I had with my family was that I secretly sent them a letter and a wedding photo when I got married.
But family ties cannot be severed by separation. If your family members are gone, you have to find them.
His grandfather did not wait until his third uncle came back. He was still thinking about his son before he died, so he entrusted the matter to his father.
After many inquiries, his father finally found out that his third uncle had lived in the French Concession in Shanghai with his wife and daughter under the name "Mr. Lu".
It's a pity that we still haven't met each other, because on the eve of Japan's surrender in 1945, the third uncle's family mysteriously moved away from here and disappeared.
Originally, his father wanted to continue investigating. But then the civil war broke out and the society was in turmoil, making it impossible to find him.
After liberation, "movements" came one after another. The family members were not sure whether the third uncle was red or black, so they did not dare to say anything more.
But to be honest, this matter eventually became a worry for my father. Even now, even though I have realized that I may never come back, I still want to find out the final whereabouts of my third uncle.
And he had just seen the photo that his father had taken the risk to save from the "Sports". Only then did he feel that the person sitting with "Sister Agou" in the photo was his third uncle.
Now "Tang Xin'er" said that the person in the photo was named Lu, which was consistent with what he knew. This was a bit strange. On the contrary, it shows that his third uncle and the one in the photo are the same person.
So he hoped that "Tang Xin'er" could tell him what she knew about the situation, so as to put an end to a family's longing for generations and decades.
These words were so tragic that even Hong Yan himself was moved by his description.
"Tang Xin'er" is a girl. Seeing that she is about to join the Hong family as the daughter-in-law, she will naturally not remain indifferent.
After carefully recalling it, she told Hong Yanwu some remembered information. He said that if the person in the photo was really his third uncle, then his third uncle would really break "Sister Agou's" heart.
Because this person not only concealed the fact that he had a family. Furthermore, he approached "Sister Agou", pleased her, and even promised to marry her, just to use her to steal the briefcase of an important military official.
It's just that God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. "Sister Agou" accidentally discovered the true identity of the target and stopped her attack in time.
But this person had been secretly monitoring the whole process. When he saw that his goal was not achieved, he exposed his identity as an underground party and disappeared completely without leaving a word.
After that, "Sister Agou" thoroughly found out everything. She was very convinced that from beginning to end, this person had only deliberately deceived her with purpose, without even a little sincerity!
All for his party, for his doctrine...
Hearing this, Hong Yanwu's head suddenly lit up, as if a candle was lit in his heart.
It's just that although this candle tried hard to illuminate the chaotic fog, it was not easy because the light was too weak.
And even if he continues to ask questions and let "Tang Xin'er" recall, it will only be so much, and there will be no other relevant details.
Because in fact, in "Tang Xin'er's" memory, "Sister Agou" almost kept silent about this life experience. Even "Aunt Bao" has only seen the person in the photo and doesn't know the inside story.
She "caught" these two ears when she watched "Sister Agou" throw the photos into the box.
In fact, the main reason why "Sister Agou" mentioned it to her was to use her personal experience as a warning to teach her never to trust men. And let her understand that for men, career and utility are everything, while feelings are just a foil and the easiest thing to sacrifice.
Had she ever thought that one day, this old incident she learned by chance would be so closely related to her future husband's family?
So things got stuck again at this point. The whereabouts of "Mr. Lu" still have no definite results.
Under Hong Yanwu's strong request, the only thing "Tang Xin'er" could do was to take him to find two dusty black shadow albums from the debris stored in another east wing room. Come and try to find some clues from "Sister Agou"'s past photos.
It's a pity that after looking through all the photos, they still found nothing.
From the photo album, it can only be seen that "Sister Agou" has a truly wonderful life. It fully demonstrates the various charms of a beautiful Shanghai woman during the Republic of China.
Not to mention those half-length photos, profile photos, makeup photos with gorgeous clothes and bright jewelry, as well as game-like photos of men in costumes, costumes, and sunglasses, which are enough to illustrate the wealth and happiness of his life.
And in a large number of travel photos, the Sassoon Building on the Shanghai Bund, the Chinachem Hotel (now known as the Peace Hotel), the Shanghai Bund Park (now known as Huangpu Park), Hongkou Park (now known as Lu Xun Park) and Zhaofeng Park (now known as Zhongshan Park), Molière Road (now known as Xiangshan Road), and garden houses on Jisi Feier Road (now known as Wanhangdu Road).
Or the three famous casinos in the Far East in the old days, horse racing hall, dog track, and jai alai stadium. All of them have become the background to set off the beautiful figure of "Sister Agou" and reflect her wanton enjoyment.
If Hong Yanwu hadn't known the details of "Sister Agou", I'm afraid he would have mistaken her for some kind of noble lady from Shanghai just by looking at the photos.
But the most crucial point is that it makes people quite helpless and regretful.
That is, these photos are basically "Sister Agou"'s personal photos. There are very few photos taken with others. Not only was there no male around her, but I occasionally found one or two, which were photos of her and "Auntie Precious".
For this reason, Hong Yanwu asked "Tang Xin'er" in disappointment.
"Are all your master's photos here? Why don't you see any group photos? Are they all burned?"
"How could it be? They are all here. If they were to be burned, they wouldn't even be left here."
"Sugar Heart" then stroked the black leather cover of the album and sighed.
"Actually, this is normal. Our 'Jinxian' is all female, and we are engaged in this industry, so we need to be on guard. Have you ever thought about it, if my master really takes photos with anyone casually, those What will happen if the photos fall into the hands of the Youth Gang, patrols and special agencies? I'm afraid the 'Jinxian' family will fall apart immediately, and everything my master has done will be investigated."
"So my master usually lives alone, even if he doesn't even see his sisters, let alone take a group photo. It's just a line to prevent someone from being investigated. Something will really happen like this, We can also help each other and find ways to get people out."
"As for men, my master has always regarded them as prey. To be deceived by your third uncle is really unique. I still find it incredible. In fact, between my master and your third uncle, What is your experience? How did your third uncle gain favor with me? How did they get along? I'm more curious than you..."
The smell of Taipinghua fills the room, just like people's depression, which cannot be resolved and lingers.
Their search came to a complete halt. The data is like a mess, with no clues to be found. At about the beginning of this mess, the head and tail were tightly tied by the hand of fate, deliberately making it difficult for people to choose. Deliberately trying to see their jokes.
To talk about Hong Yanwu's mood at this time, it is extremely complicated.
What he was thinking about was the past of his third uncle. To him, he originally thought it was just a story and had nothing to do with it. At that time, I promised my father that I would help find this uncle, just to comfort my hometown son.
Who would have known that in the end, when everyone in the Hong family was almost disappointed in their search, it was about to come to an end. It was actually my turn to discover and certify further progress.
However, from the things you discover, you can only piece together a few fragments. God knows how long it will take for the finale to come to light.
Now that I think about it, there may really be a pair of hands controlling everything in the world, as if they are deliberately against others. It forces everyone living in this world to cry, laugh, be sad, sad, lovesick, and care without stopping for a moment...
People really have to believe this.
Because if you think about it carefully, the third uncle's change of name is almost like singing "Shiro Visits His Mother".
Yang Yanhui changed his name to Mu Yi, married Princess Dai Zhan, and stayed in Fanying for fifteen years. His third uncle, who replaced "Hong" with "Lu", has been lurking in Shanghai and doing underground work.
And in that era when photography technology was limited and most photos were blurry, the secretive third uncle could actually sit with "Sister Agou" who never took photos with others, and be photographed so clearly. An incredible probability.
What's more, it has been kept in such a place. He happened to be discovered by him who had just seen the photo of his third uncle and still remembered it. All of this can really only be evaluated with the word "miracle".
