The dean had a kind face and gentle eyes; even in his old age, his eyes were very clear, like a mountain spring.
She was only slightly surprised by the sudden question, and then all she could do was sigh.
“I did have a daughter. During the war, my husband and I were doctors on the front lines. Unfortunately, my husband was killed in a bombing raid.”
“My daughter was only two years old at the time. The army was moving and it was a cold winter. I couldn’t bear to see my daughter suffer during the journey, so I had to send her back to my husband’s hometown.”
"It was only when we sent her back that we discovered our hometown had been massacred, so we had no choice but to hand our daughter over to the villagers."
"When the troops settled down and I went back to look for my daughter, the family from that village had disappeared without a trace, and I searched for them for many years without success."
"But little girl, how did you know I have a daughter?"
Perhaps it was because of his age that his mind was slow; he only realized what the dean meant after he finished asking the question, and his eyes lit up with an unprecedented light.
"Little girl, do you know something?"
Shishi thought to herself, "My face practically screamed 'I might have met your daughter' before you even realized it."
"I don't know if she's your daughter, but her eyes are very similar to yours. They're the kind of eyes that remain clear and bright even after all the hardships you've endured, without any complaints. She's a kind person."
Xie Lin carefully examined the dean's eyebrows and eyes; they were indeed very similar, almost certainly.
"Dean, when you gave the child to the fellow villager, did you give him any tokens of affection?"
In those years, many heroic figures who were on the front lines sacrificed their families for the greater good.
It is because of their sacrifices on the front lines that we enjoy a peaceful life today.
“My child is wearing a gold pig necklace, which her father had someone he knew made himself.”
"As payment, I gave the villager some coins and three small yellow croakers."
"The dean said hurriedly."
Her family was in the pharmaceutical business and had been donating medicines to the country. Later, they were mistakenly killed by the enemy when they tried to seize the medicines. She resolutely took her assets and devoted herself to the revolution.
She met her husband on the battlefield. They shared the same patriotism and common interests, and the two quickly got together. Two years later, they had their own child.
But the good times didn't last long. Her husband was killed in the bombing while covering his comrades. When they went back to collect the bodies after the fighting stopped, they couldn't tell which piece of his body was which of his comrades'.
Her husband is gone, and she hasn't been able to take good care of her only daughter. She lives with constant worry and guilt.
If the keepsake matches and the eyebrows and eyes are similar, it can be basically confirmed; a paternity test can then be done.
Shishi asked Guagua to bring up the sequel to Zhou Wenyan and Da Liu meeting his parents.
“Look, this person looks a bit like you. Her name is Sun Lan. She also has a gold pig necklace, but it was taken away by her adoptive mother. She should be your child.”
The dean cried, shaking her head as she sobbed. Everyone thought she was trying to say that Zhou's mother wasn't her child, but instead they heard her say, "She doesn't look like me; she looks more like her father."
“My child, she is my child Shi Lan, she looks exactly like my husband.”
"The family of the fellow villager I entrusted to is surnamed Sun. She actually changed the surname of her child. No wonder I searched for people with the same name and surname but couldn't find my Lan'er."
She was someone who judged by appearances. There were many male doctors on the battlefield, but she immediately took a liking to the man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.
His eyes shone like stars, and his smile was as bright as the sun; he was someone you would remember at first glance.
The woman in the picture had such a familiar smile that she would never forget it in her life.
"Little girl, where is she? Can you take me to see her?"
After searching for decades, a glimmer of hope finally appeared, and the hospital director couldn't wait to appear before the child.
She felt she had failed her child, missing nearly forty years of companionship, and for the rest of her life, she wanted to make it up to her.
"She lives in Beijing. This is her husband, this is her son, and she also has a daughter-in-law and a daughter. The whole family of five is very beautiful."
Yes, these are all the people I want to recruit. I've already recruited three, and there are still two holdouts left. No rush, I'll just wait for the dividends to come out and then shower them with money.
The dean is also quite good-looking, and her innate temperament is no less than that of an old lady from a wealthy family. She would definitely be a good fit as a kind grandmother in the drama. Let's just kidnap her too.
Shishi thought to herself with delight.
The hospital director was overjoyed. "I'll go and hand over the hospital affairs right away, and then go to Beijing to stay with my daughter."
She was a decisive and efficient old lady.
"Shouldn't we wait until the paternity test is done before making a decision? Paternity testing technology is already in use in Beijing," Shishi asked.
"No need, I'm certain she's my child."
As the hospital director, she was certainly aware of the development and replacement of medical equipment in major cities.
China is full of talented people and will only become more and more prosperous in the future.
She hurriedly went back to her residence to retrieve a savings book, into which she had gradually deposited money over the years, hoping to one day reunite with her daughter and make it up to her.
"Young lady, I can't leave here. Could you please help me withdraw all the money? It's for my Lan'er."
When Shishi opened the passbook, she was surprised to find over 30,000 yuan. The old lady was quite wealthy.
But it's already dark, we can pick it up tomorrow, what's the rush?
The dean took out another savings book with more than two thousand yuan in it and muttered to herself.
"I should be able to make a living by renting a place for a little over two thousand. My child has a family now, and I'm an old lady who can't bother them too much. I'll be content with renting a place so I can stay close to my child. I'm an old woman and I won't be able to stay with them for many more years anyway."
After a moment of dejection, she rallied her spirits, her eyes filled with the joy of soon seeing her daughter.
"Young lady, please help me get this money out as well, thank you."
