DNA testing is the fastest way to determine whether Zhang Jizhou and Uncle Zhang are related by blood.
Fang Yan's refusal surprised Xu Zhimin, who had been full of confidence. "This matter isn't a big deal until it's confirmed, is it?"
Does that mean there's no need to discuss it with Zhang Jizhou?
You can't make your own decisions?
"If it's confirmed, I'll help you contact them. You can contact Zhang Jizhou then."
If it's confirmed that Zhang Jizhou and Xiaoyuzai are related to the Zhang family by blood, then he won't need to worry about it; someone from the Zhang family will naturally take care of it.
Fang Yan recalls that DNA paternity testing technology is more complex for determining the age of the child.
Does China currently possess this technology?
"If I'm not mistaken, you suspect that your uncle who has already sacrificed himself was my son's grandfather, right?"
Fang Yan certainly couldn't directly express her doubts about the current technology's inability to support intergenerational paternity testing.
We can only use a roundabout tactic.
Without a doubt, Little Fish is Zhang Jizhou's son.
Judging from his age alone, Little Fish could not possibly be the child of that fallen hero.
Xu Zhimin's age should be not much different from Zhang Jizhou's.
The man he addressed as "uncle" must have been around forty or fifty years old.
Based on the clue of age, it is not difficult to deduce that Zhang Jizhou is the person they are really looking for.
However, Xu Zhimin probably already knew that Zhang Jizhou was in the army, and it might not be easy for them to find him in a short time, which is why they came up with the idea of targeting Xiaoyuzai.
“Yes, if it’s confirmed, then your man is that uncle’s son.” Xu Zhimin nodded.
Fang Yan asked again, "You want Xiaoyuzai's hair, are you planning to do that DNA paternity test?"
Xu Zhimin, who thought he wouldn't be surprised no matter what Fang Yan said, was once again astonished when he heard the words "DNA paternity test" come out of Fang Yan's mouth. "You even know this?"
nonsense!
In the era I lived in in my previous life, this technology was something that almost everyone could enjoy, as long as they needed it and spent some money.
Unlike now, this technology is still very rare.
Of course, these are things that can only be said in one's heart.
“Before, among the customers who came to my stall to buy braised food, there was a gentleman who had come back from abroad to visit relatives. One day, he mentioned the DNA paternity testing technology you mentioned.”
Without making a sound, Fang Yan shifted the blame onto a fictitious "customer".
She cleverly resolved the question of how a village woman who hadn't even finished elementary school could know so many things she shouldn't know.
And there's no need to worry about Xu Zhimin having any suspicions.
There's no need to worry; he won't ask a lot of questions.
Anyway, if he has any problems, he can go to that customer who went back to China to visit relatives.
As long as he can find it.
Therefore, Fang Yan felt more at ease and continued, "According to him, the DNA technology and equipment in China are not yet at the level to perform intergenerational DNA testing."
Compared to paternity testing, intergenerational testing is more troublesome and complicated.
"Really...?" Xu Zhimin indeed had no doubts.
More importantly, he only knew that this technology existed, but only a few organizations had access to it.
As it happens, their family has access to this technology.
However, he had not heard that this technology could be applied across generations.
If that's the case, then it's really going to be a bit troublesome.
"That's what that gentleman said, whether it's true or not, I don't know," Fang Yan said truthfully.
Xu Zhimin pondered to himself, "Should I make a call later to ask those in Beijing if it's true?"
"Comrade Xu, thank you for saving my son and me twice," Fang Yan said, changing the subject in the blink of an eye. "I wonder if you have time today? Let's go to Fucheng Restaurant and have a meal together so I can express my gratitude?"
Although inviting someone to dinner to express gratitude is both cliché and seems too superficial.
However, it seems that the workplace cannot expose people like Xu Zhimin.
That way, we won't have to worry about thank-you letters or banners.
Sending gifts is even more difficult.
Since we don't know what he likes, we can't just blindly pick out expensive things to give him.
What if it has a negative impact on him?
After thinking it over, only eating is left.
"This is what I should do."
Xu Zhimin refused firmly, but the next second, his tone shifted, and he came back to the point, "However, if you insist on thanking me, could I express my gratitude in a different way?"
Um?
Is this even possible?
Fang Yan already knew in her heart what he wanted to change it to.
Despite a slight reluctance, I had to smile and ask, "What would you like to change it to?"
"Once I find out from the technical department, if we can do intergenerational identification, could you agree to give me a few hairs from the little fish?"
Fang Yan: ...
Just as she guessed.
"My suggestion is that you should contact Zhang Jizhou; it will be faster. He's the one in charge, isn't he?"
He'll eventually find out about this anyway, so why not just go find him directly?
Xu Zhimin thought to himself, "If I can find him, I'll go find him as soon as I finish what I'm doing."
The key issue is that he can't find anyone right now, and it will probably take him a lot of effort to find Zhang Jizhou when he gets back.
If he said it aloud, Fang Yan would probably understand him.
After all, there is no internet yet. Before the internet was connected, even if you knew that a person was in a certain system, it would take a lot of effort to find them.
Moreover, Zhang Jizhou's personal information is confidential.
However, for some reason, Xu Zhimin stopped bothering Fang Yan for Xiaoyuzai's fur.
"I have to leave the county tomorrow and go back to Beijing. This is my home phone number. If you encounter any difficulties, you can call me here."
Xu Zhimin handed Fang Yan a small piece of paper that he had prepared in advance, with a landline number written on it.
Fang Yan took it. "What time are you leaving tomorrow?"
"What? Are you coming to see me off?" Xu Zhimin asked.
Fang Yan said, "You've helped me so much this time, I haven't even had a chance to treat you to a meal. I'll make some dry food tonight, you can take it with you on the road tomorrow."
Nowadays, even the old green trains take seven or eight days to travel from the south to the north.
Moreover, it takes a day and a night to travel from the county town to the provincial capital by train.
The journey has been quite eventful.
"No need, meals are provided on the train."
Thinking that Zhang Xiuying would also be returning to the capital with him tomorrow, Xu Zhimin quickly refused.
It's not the right time to let her see the little fish.
