The old lady's voice choked up again.

Jiang Tiecheng entered the room.

Ouyang Chang'an stood at the door, holding his mother's hand.

"Tiecheng, take a rest for a while. We know you need to digest this slowly."

Anyone who suddenly learns about their past needs time to process it, let alone Jiang Tiecheng, who is still a person, no matter how calm he appears.

Jiang Tiecheng looked at the books and stationery neatly arranged in the bookcase, representing each year.

Then I opened the wardrobe, and to be precise, all my clothes from childhood to adulthood were displayed there.

Everything was brand new, which showed that his parents were always preparing anything he needed when he wasn't around.

Jiang Tiecheng's eyes reddened.

He never understood why his mother treated him this way, even until his death in his previous life.

Why did he have to take on the responsibility of caring for everyone from childhood to adulthood?

He also longed for his parents' approval and their love.

But at home, my parents never showed me any favoritism. They instilled in me only responsibility and endless dedication to the family.

It turns out that, in places I didn't know, my biological parents had never stopped searching for me.

It turns out that there were people who had never forgotten him and loved him silently here.

Every item in this room shows the care and love her parents put into her.

Jiang Tiecheng cried bitterly, crying out all the bitterness he had endured in his past and present lives, and all the endless grievances he had suffered.

He was just a person, someone who needed and longed for love.

Outside the door, Old Mrs. Ouyang was leaning against her son, already sobbing uncontrollably.

She could hear her son's suppressed sobs from the room.

This child has suffered all these years, even though he has never complained about his adoptive parents.

However, it is easy to tell from a few simple things that the son went to the countryside to work as an educated youth.

The adoptive parents' child stayed with them.

That's already a difference, what else is there to say?

The files from the investigation clearly state that the child lived with those adoptive parents from childhood to adulthood because he was the eldest brother.

He did more than others in everything, and he practically raised his younger siblings single-handedly.

Every family places high hopes on their eldest son, but this eldest son was practically like a hardworking ox or horse in that family.

This child could have received so much more; this child could have gone to so much school.

At a young age, he had to drop out of school to support his family.

But what makes me proud is that even though my son isn't by my side, he's still so outstanding.

This child was sent to the countryside as part of the "Down to the Countryside Movement".

He defuses bombs and landmines, earning so many military merits through his own abilities.

The whole family was stunned when they saw Jiang Tiecheng's thick stack of contributions.

Even if Jiang Tiecheng were by their side, they might not have had the ability to cultivate him into the person he is today.

What's more, this child is actually a skilled surgeon.

It's important to know that Jiang Tiecheng performed several surgeries that were among the best in China, and even unique in the world.

Even in adversity, this child's brilliance cannot be concealed.

Ouyang Chang'an helped his mother downstairs.

Grandpa Ouyang sat there without saying a word. Facing his son, whom he had lost and then found again, he didn't know what to say.

Knowing full well how much they owed that child, could a few words really heal the wounds in that child's heart?

Seeing his wife crying her eyes out, he quickly said...

"Don't cry, it makes the child uncomfortable to see you like this."

Thankfully, the child has been found. Although we feel indebted to him, we will treat him well from now on.

We must make it up to him.

The fourth and fifth brothers next to him nodded.

Ouyang Chengyu excitedly rubbed his little hands together. He had found his third brother himself. If he hadn't mistaken his third brother for his second brother at first glance, there wouldn't be this family reunion scene.

"Mom and Dad, I think I did a great job this time. You don't know how I was so shocked when I mistook my third brother for my second brother the first time I met him."

"Come on, anyone could have done the same. If I went, I could tell at a glance that it was definitely Third Brother."

Ouyang Huainan was a little unconvinced. If he hadn't been late, this matter probably wouldn't have been his fourth brother's turn.

"Alright, alright, you've all done a good job."

Old Mrs. Ouyang stood up.

"I'll go tell Aunt Li to hurry up and cook something delicious, this is our family's first reunion dinner."

Grandma Ouyang was thrilled. Sure enough, during this reunion dinner, Jiang Tiecheng saw his bowl piled high, like a small mountain.

When I was living with my adoptive parents, my younger siblings would always be the first to take the best food during meals.

Whenever Liu Cuie had something delicious, she would give it to her younger siblings first, claiming that as the older brother, she had to give way to them.

But nowadays, some people worry about whether they like the food, while others are extremely concerned that they might not have eaten enough.

Looking at the pair of eager eyes staring at him from the side, he realized that the person sitting next to him was staring intently at him.

"You eat too, no need to put any more on my plate. I'm an adult, I can get more myself."

He just couldn't bring himself to call out "Mom" no matter what.

It's not something that can be overcome simply by having a family reunion.

Grandma Ouyang was somewhat disappointed; her son refused to call her.

But I know the child will definitely feel uncomfortable.

For 21 years, she never suddenly asked someone to call her "Mom." Not everyone can do that.

"Okay, add whatever you like to eat, don't be shy."

"Why are you so thin? You must not eat properly."

Looking at Jiang Tiecheng, Old Madam Ouyang's heart and eyes were filled with nothing but her son.

Jiang Tiecheng smiled.

The person who loves you will always think you've lost weight and haven't eaten enough.

"I usually eat in the hospital cafeteria, and they are always worried that I won't have enough to eat, so they always prepare special meals for me."

The medical team is full of my students. They take turns getting me meals and water, afraid that I will go hungry or feel unwell. You can rest assured.

"I'm a skilled surgeon, after all; no one will mistreat me."

Grandma Ouyang shook her head again after hearing this.

"How is that the same? Do you think I don't know how bad the conditions are in the Northwest?

The food and lodging were unsuitable. I've been to Northwest China, and the water there is yellow when pumped out, and it tastes earthy.

Needless to say, food was a major problem; many production teams there were struggling to get enough to eat.

Even if the hygiene is a little better, how much better can it be?

And the sandstorms there are really bad.

Looking at Jiang Tiecheng's dark skin, the old lady knew that although the boy had a good reputation, his treatment was definitely not that good.
