Dong Yue and Lin Qingyan hugged each other. Dong Yue was still very excited. "This is so great! I have a cousin. No, you are my cousin. You don't need to call me cousin. Just call me third brother."
Even when Xu Xinning calls him by his full name, she doesn't need to use the word "cousin," so Lin Qingyan, being a close relative, certainly doesn't.
"Okay, Third Brother."
"Okay, Qingyan, this must be fate. It's like we met in the same military region first, and then you really are my sister."
"Yes, if I hadn't met you in the military region, I probably wouldn't be here now, let alone recognize you all."
"So, it was truly a stroke of good fortune that I was transferred to the Northern Military Region more than half a year ago."
"Not long after you were transferred to the Northern Military Region, I followed Zheng Ting there. It really felt like it was a special arrangement by God."
"yes."
At this moment, Xu Xinning tried her best to appear calm, but in reality, her palms were almost scratched raw by her own fingernails.
Grandpa Dong called out to her, "Xinning, Qingyan is my granddaughter, and she will be your sister from now on. You two should get to know each other again."
Xu Xinning quickly smiled at Lin Qingyan: "Qingyan, I really didn't expect you to be Grandpa's granddaughter. This is wonderful! I was worried about being lonely at home without any sisters. Now I finally have someone to keep me company. I wonder who is older and who is younger between us, who is the older sister and who is the younger sister?"
"I'm nineteen years old this year, and my birthday is on the eighth day of the eighth lunar month," Lin Qingyan said. This is her birthday in the modern world. She doesn't know exactly when she was born in this world, but she guesses it should be the same as her birthday in the modern world.
Grandpa Dong immediately exclaimed, "Qingyan's birthday is wonderful, so wonderful! It's an auspicious day, she's a blessed person."
Xu Xinning was a little unhappy; her birthday celebration certainly wouldn't be as good as Lin Qingyan's.
"I am, I am."
“Xiao Ning’s birthday is the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and she is also nineteen years old,” Grandpa Dong said on her behalf.
"Oh, yes." Xu Xinning stammered, "You're older than me, I should call you older sister."
"Okay, little sister."
Grandpa Dong laughed heartily: "I told you before that I wanted you to be good friends, but I never expected you to become sisters. That's wonderful! I, Dong Zhentian, now have two granddaughters. With that, you two will definitely get along even better."
"Yes, Grandpa, I will definitely get along well with my sister," Xu Xinning replied obediently.
Lu Zhengting stood at the very back of them, never having a chance to speak as the family chatted, and it seemed it wasn't his place to interrupt.
However, he felt that it might not be a good thing for his wife to have a sister like Xu Xinning.
When the biological child isn't home, the adopted child can enjoy all the family's love and pampering. But once the biological child returns, the adopted child will naturally face a crisis.
His wife and Xu Xinning didn't get along very well in the hospital, so it's uncertain whether they will get along well in the future.
Dong Yue was happy for a while, then suddenly thought of Dong Lianxin and asked Lin Qingyan, "Qingyan, now that you're so grown up, my aunt must not have died back then. Where is she now? Is she alright?"
Grandpa Dong coughed immediately: "Xiao Yue, don't ask anymore."
Dong Yue suddenly realized something, "So it was my aunt?"
Grandpa Dong pulled Lin Qingyan aside: "Child, let's go outside and tell us properly how you've been all these years."
They returned to the living room together, and Lin Qingyan recounted the original owner's experiences over the years.
Upon hearing this, both Grandpa Dong and Dong Yue were furious.
Grandpa Dong slammed his hand on the table. "How could they treat my granddaughter like this? They're animals!"
At the same time, he also resented himself for not finding Lin Qingyan sooner, which made her suffer so much in that family.
Lin Qingyan said, "Fortunately, the most difficult days are over. Grandpa, what I wanted to know most before was where my maternal grandparents' home was and whether there was anyone left in that family. Fortunately, I have finally found you."
"My child, you've suffered so much all these years." The old man couldn't hold back his tears again.
As noon approached, Grandpa Dong wanted Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting to stay for lunch, so he asked Yoshiko Kawashima to go out and buy meat and vegetables.
Kawashima Yoshiko then learned that Grandpa Dong had a daughter before, and the person in front of her who made the special hemostatic medicine was actually Grandpa Dong's granddaughter.
The daughter is dead, so this granddaughter will become their primary target for getting close to.
Because she not only knew the contents of the hemostatic medicine prescription, but she might also be the owner of that pair of jade pendants.
After receiving instructions from Old Master Dong, Yoshiko Kawashima narrowed her eyes before leaving and heading to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Grandpa Dong held Lin Qingyan's hand: "Child, Grandpa actually wants you to stay here so our family can have a proper reunion. Your uncle has gone to work. When he comes back from get off work, he'll probably be overjoyed to know that his beloved niece is back."
And your two cousins, one in the military and the other at a research institute. I'll call them back in a bit so they can see their cousin is back, and you can meet them too.”
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll ask the military hospital for two more days off."
“Okay, call and invite them. We can call now.” Grandpa Dong pointed to the landline at home. “But, isn’t two days too short? Let’s invite them for a few more days.”
Dong Yue said, "Grandpa, we understand your desire to spend time with Qingyan, but she has to go back to work. We can't let her stay here with you forever and even give up her job. This shows the advantage of Qingyan being in the same unit as me. At least after Qingyan leaves here, I can still see her often."
