When Song Zhi saw Jiang Qiao standing behind his son, he was first taken aback, thinking she was a friend his son had brought. But upon closer inspection, he felt that the little girl gave off a vaguely familiar feeling, but he couldn't quite put his finger on who she resembled.

"she is?"

Song Junqiang turned around and saw Jiang Qiao. "Qiao'er, didn't your father and the others come to pick you up?"

Jiang Qiao shook her head. "I couldn't find it, and I didn't see the sign either. I don't know what happened. Maybe they didn't receive the letter."

Song Junqiang turned to Song Zhi and asked, "Dad, you drove here, right? Shall we take her to find her parents?"

Song Zhi chuckled and patted his son on the shoulder. "Alright, if you say it's alright, then it's alright. Young lady, what kind of work do your parents work for?"

Jiang Qiao sighed, then gave the name of the unit and her father's name, leaving Song Zhi dumbfounded.

"What, say it again?"

Jiang Qiao thought the other person hadn't remembered, so she repeated it again.

Song Zhi looked Gu Zhengfeng up and down. After being brothers with him for so many years, how come he had never heard of them having a daughter?

They had a daughter who went missing before, but over the years, not only the couple, but also their comrades-in-arms, whenever they went home or went on a business trip, were asked by the couple to help look for her and ask around. They even asked for help a few days ago. How come a daughter suddenly appeared now?

"Gu Zhengfeng's daughter? I've never heard of him having a daughter."

Jiang Qiao smiled slyly, "Uncle, I hadn't heard of this before, but it's not too late to hear about it now."

I am Gu Zhengfeng's daughter, his own flesh and blood. How could there be any difference? I wouldn't just randomly call someone "Dad" for no reason, would I?

Whether it's true or not, we'll have the answer once we meet them in person.

Jiang Qiao no longer needed to think; this person must know her father, or perhaps even be in the same military unit, otherwise, he wouldn't be so familiar with the family situation.

However, Song Zhi didn't want to just drag Jiang Qiao over like that. Over the years, they, as comrades-in-arms and friends, knew better than anyone how hard the couple had suffered.

His younger brother, they all saw how much he doted on his daughter. While other families were happy to have a son, this guy, having a daughter, went around telling everyone, as if his daughter was more precious than anyone else.

Yet this very father has suffered the pain of losing his daughter for so many years.

He didn't want his brother and his wife to suffer any more because of a misunderstanding.

Song Zhi looked Jiang Qiao up and down. Although he felt that Jiang Qiao and his brother and sister-in-law looked somewhat alike, there were many people who looked alike. He was worried that someone might take this opportunity to pass off the real Jiang Qiao as the real one, which would cause even greater harm to the couple.

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Uncle, it's the same old story: the truth can't be hidden, and the falsehood can't be made true, right? We have to see the person in person to know."

The girl spoke with impeccable eloquence, making Song Zhi feel that her personality was indeed somewhat similar to his brother's.

"Alright, since you put it that way, I'll take you there."

Song Junqiang and Meng Yuzhi were completely baffled. Jiang Qiao's parents were soldiers?

The two of them looked at Jiang Qiao, and Jiang Qiao naturally understood what they meant.

She smiled apologetically and said, "My grandfather said that when you're out and about, you can't say everything or tell the truth, so I'm listening to him. After all, I'm young, so please be understanding."

Song Junqiang snorted, "Little girl, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve. Alright, since we all know each other, let's get in the car together."

After getting into the car, Jiang Qiao became increasingly uneasy as they drove further. It wasn't that her father's unit was far away, but rather that the crops along the way looked wilted and droopy.

Meng Yuzhi also inquired about the situation here. "It's dry. If it doesn't rain soon, the crops will be in trouble. You can see all these people carrying water to irrigate, but manpower is ultimately limited. Sigh, I hope it rains soon."

Shuanzi, who had already woken up, was the most active person on the bus. The child didn't remember what happened last night, and everyone was intentionally keeping it from him, saying that everything had been resolved and that saying too much might have a negative impact on the little guy's mind.

Because he was about to see his father, Shuanzi was excited about everything he saw, even the weeds he was used to seeing seemed familiar to him.

The child hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and it was only now that the little guy realized he was a bit hungry.

Meng Yuzhi was about to give the child some pancakes when Jiang Qiao stopped her.

"I have some eggs here, for my little brother to eat—"

As soon as the little guy heard there were eggs, he refused to eat any more pancakes and happily thanked Jiang Qiao.

"Thank you, sister. You're the best!"

Jiang Qiao smiled and patted Shuanzi's little face. "Don't rush, eat slowly."

Song Zhi secretly praised Jiang Qiao's actions. Which child Jiang Qiao's age wouldn't be possessive of their food? Most children would probably have finished their food on the train by now, and even if they couldn't finish it, they would save some for themselves. But this little girl is generous, just like her father.

"My dear niece, may I ask how you found your way here, and how you knew your father was Gu Zhengfeng?"

Jiang Qiao sighed, "It's a long story. I first recognized my grandfather, and then I learned about my background. Now that I heard my parents are here, I wanted to give them a surprise. To be honest, I just want to see my mom and dad."

Song Zhi was actually more curious about where Jiang Qiao had gone back then.

"Sigh, it's a long story..."

Even if she doesn't explain, some things will be known to everyone in the future. As for Jiang Qiao, she will only talk about what she can. As for Wang Dahua's part, she will skip it and let Qiao Jie take over. There are some things she will not tell outsiders, even if the person is her father's former comrade-in-arms.

Song Junqiang and Meng Yuzhi were both dumbfounded; they never expected Jiang Qiao to have such a background.

Although Jiang Qiao spoke vaguely about some things, Song Zhi understood. They were brothers, and he knew Gu Zhengfeng's family situation perfectly well. Since Jiang Qiao didn't elaborate, he didn't press further.

Now he is completely convinced that Jiang Qiao is his brother's child. The old man of the Gu family is a very shrewd person. How could he possibly acknowledge someone who is not his own bloodline?

"Sister, you're so pitiful, you've never even seen your mom and dad—"

Xiao Shuanzi's words broke the somber atmosphere in the car.

Song Junqiang also sighed, "That's right, Qiao'er. They say that those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune. You're truly blessed. I'll have to share some of your good fortune with you in the future."

Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "What kind of good fortune do I have? I'm just a little bit lucky, but compared to you guys, I'm still lacking. If we're talking about sharing good fortune, then I'm sharing yours."
