"My father and mother are both in... the military area."
"When the war broke out and we were attacked by the enemy, my father and my mother, who was about to give birth, moved with the troops."
"On the way, my mother gave birth to a son."
"How come I didn't know that grandpa and grandma had a son?" Lu Zhi interrupted, looking surprised.
Deputy Commander Lu stopped and looked at her.
Lu Zhi immediately covered his mouth with his hand.
He looked helpless, and then looked at Han Shan again.
Everyone's eyes turned to Han Shan.
Han Shan moved his body left and right, smiled foolishly, and looked restless.
That son couldn't be... Lin Shu was surprised. He looked at Deputy Commander Lu and then at Han Shan.
However, the two of them don't look alike at all.
She looked at Han Yan again and actually found that he was somewhat similar to Deputy Commander Lu.
"Could that son be Dashan?" Aunt Liang asked what was in Lin Shu's mind, pointing at Han Shan with a look of shock.
Deputy Commander Lu didn't answer. He looked away and continued, "At that time, conditions didn't allow my parents to bring a tiny baby with them."
"When we passed through a village, my parents entrusted the baby to a couple named Han."
After hearing this, everyone can basically guess that Han Shan is the baby who was entrusted.
However, Lin Shu noticed a hint of coldness flashing in Deputy Commander Lu's eyes.
She knew that this matter was not that simple, otherwise Han Shan would not be here...
"He left them some support money and promised to repay them when he came back to pick them up.
"Perhaps, the couple had just given birth to a child and felt compassion, or perhaps, considering..."
Deputy Commander Lu paused.
Lin Shu understood what this meant, but no one was sure what they were doing.
"They readily agreed and promised to treat the baby as their own child."
"A year later, my parents returned to the village to take the baby back."
Everyone turned their eyes to Han Shan again.
The baby was taken back, so Han Shan...
Lin Shu's eyebrows jumped, and he thought of a possibility: changing the child.
She looked at Han Yan.
Han Yan's eyes grew a little colder, perhaps he had thought of it as well.
"Then, then Dashan isn't the baby?" Aunt Liang asked uncertainly. "I thought I had found my ancestor."
She looked lost.
"That little baby is well taken care of." Deputy Commander Lu's voice turned a bit colder. "He's grown up plump and white."
“My parents were naturally very happy and expressed their gratitude to them.
"However," Deputy Commander Lu said in a voice devoid of warmth, "they repeatedly declined, saying it was to support the Party's cause."
"Saying that paying them would be an insult to them." A flicker of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at them before continuing, "Such noble people, huh?"
At this point, everyone had actually guessed the truth of the matter and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"You have all guessed the truth of the matter, right?" said Deputy Commander Lu.
"They exchanged their son for your parents..." Aunt Liang stammered.
Deputy Commander Lu nodded: "Smart."
Aunt Liang smiled awkwardly: "Isn't it obvious..."
"But," Lu Zhi interrupted, "Grandpa and Grandma couldn't recognize their son at first?"
"Ha, yeah, I can't even recognize them—" Aunt Liang said, looking at Deputy Commander Lu, and immediately swallowed the words on her lips, and said quickly, "Newborn babies are all the same, how can you recognize them later, right?"
"Right, right." Aunt Liang nodded to herself.
A trace of helplessness flashed across Han Yan's face.
Lin Shu was secretly happy.
Deputy Commander Lu's face showed no displeasure. He sighed and said, "This is indeed a dereliction of duty on their part as parents."
Lin Shu didn't expect that he would admit his parents' negligence so readily.
"Then how did grandpa and grandma recognize him?" Lu Zhi asked again.
Everyone nodded heavily, their faces full of curiosity and confusion.
"Maybe it's retribution." Deputy Commander Lu looked a little sad, without a trace of happiness on his face.
"The baby that was switched had a congenital disease.
Surprise flashed across everyone's face.
"When he was two years old, he became ill. My parents took him to see a doctor, and it was during this treatment process that they discovered he was not their biological son."
"Then, then your parents..." Han Shan hesitated, "Do they...do they..."
"Have you given up on him?"
Han Shan scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Of course not." Deputy Commander Lu said seriously, "The child is innocent. Moreover, they have truly treated him like their own son and have loved him for two years. How could they give up so easily?"
"Then, what about him?" Han Xin asked with a frown.
He must have died of illness, Lin Shu guessed, thinking of Deputy Commander Lu's expression just now.
Deputy Commander Lu sighed: "He died of illness when he was five years old."
Everyone sighed.
"Then why don't your parents go look for Dashan?" Aunt Liang had a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.
"Of course I did."
"They looked for it as soon as they found out about it."
"But when they went there, they said that the village had been attacked by the enemy a year ago. No one knew what had happened to the villagers or where they had gone."
"But, but," Aunt Liang said doubtfully, "How can you be sure that Dashan is your parents' son?"
Lin Shu nodded secretly, she also had this question.
