Li Xiangqian continued speaking.
Suddenly an idea popped into my head.
"Comrade Lu, you also have the surname Lu, right? Could it be that your father is...?"
Lu Xiangqian looked at the light in the old man's eyes.
But he had to shatter his illusions.
“My father grew up in the village and has never left Qingshui Brigade.”
Li Xiangqian's eyes dimmed considerably.
He muttered to himself, "Brother Lu is an only child; I've never heard of him having any brothers."
He came here to avoid trouble, partly with the intention of finding Brother Lu. This is downstream of the river; perhaps…
But so many years have passed.
Li Xiangqian felt he was overthinking things.
"Perhaps the world is full of wonders, and it is possible for people to look alike."
Looking at the old man in front of him, Lu Xiangze finally voiced his thoughts.
“I am not this family’s biological child.”
Li Xiangqian's eyes lit up instantly.
A dream come true?
“I don’t look like my family members when I’ve been a child. My mother treated me…so-so. My father once told me that there was a jade ring in the family that was meant for me.”
"Jade Ring? Where is it? Can I see it? Brother Lu has one too."
Li Xiangqian was overjoyed; this made perfect sense!
He had already made a contract with the jade ring, so he couldn't possibly take it out.
Lu Xiangze could only say, "Yu Huan has been hidden away. The Lu family was robbed some time ago, and the house is now empty."
Li Xiangqian was a bit of a pity.
However, I was already half sure in my heart.
We'll ask Brother Zhao when he gets back.
Have you asked your mother?
Lu Xiangze shook his head.
Chen Ximei is a very wary person, especially about his background. She is stubborn and you can't get any information out of him without torture.
Learning the truth from Chen Ximei was the last resort he had to take.
Chen Ximei gets extremely agitated whenever people around her say he doesn't look like her biological child.
They were afraid that others wouldn't believe them.
This is enough to explain the problem.
Li Xiangqian, recalling what Lu Xiangze had revealed, waved his hand and skipped the topic.
Su Qiao carefully recalled the contents of the book.
Unfortunately, the book only hints at Lu Xiangze's background and doesn't explicitly state it.
They were powerless to help.
Li Xiangqian had already come to regard Lu Xiangze as his favorite junior.
I asked a lot of questions.
Only after Zhao Gou and the others returned did Li Xiangqian allow the two to leave.
Zhao Gou ran into Lu Xiangze, and the two nodded to each other as a greeting.
They hadn't gone far when they saw Rong Shen walking towards them.
Upon seeing the two people, he instinctively hid the items behind his back.
“Su, the educated youth, and Comrade Lu, what a coincidence!”
It's quite a coincidence that we bumped into each other at this time.
Su Qiao found it amusing to see him looking like a cat with its fur standing on end in fright.
"It's quite a coincidence. It's getting late, so we should head back now."
This person probably wanted to take care of those three elderly people.
It's quite remarkable that someone born and raised in this era can view those who were sent to the countryside in this way.
She was happy to pretend she didn't see it.
After saying hello, he pulled Lu Xiangze aside to leave.
Lu Xiangze glanced back at Rong Shen's appearance again...
After the two walked away, Rong Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
After wandering around for a while, we finally found the cabin.
The atmosphere in the cabin was lovely today; the three of them chatted and laughed.
Especially Li Xiangqian.
He was radiating happiness.
"What's wrong with Grandpa Li today?"
Zhao Gou said calmly, "Half of my wish has been fulfilled. I've found the child of the person I've been so obsessed with. How could I not be happy?"
Today, Li Xiangqian is in charge of chopping and carrying firewood.
Now the work in the cowshed and pigsty has been handed over to them.
Zhao Gou and Rong De were not as efficient as Li Xiangqian in their work.
If you're a little slower, you'll be back at this hour after all that work.
As soon as I got back, I saw two young people.
Zhao Gou subconsciously glanced at the tall young man's face.
I just feel that fate is truly wonderful.
Li Xiangqian then asked if the child was the son of an acquaintance.
Zhao Gou naturally gave an affirmative answer.
Upon receiving a positive answer, Li Xiangqian was beaming with joy.
"Is...is the child's father still alive?"
Zhao Gou nodded.
Li Xiangqian laughed and laughed, then tears streamed down his face.
Thinking that the younger generation was still there, he quickly got up and went back inside.
Rong Shen also found it very strange.
It's unexpected that the two have such a connection.
"Speaking of which, these two saved my life not long ago."
Rongde naturally recalled the injury on his grandson's foot.
"You brat, why didn't you say so earlier? I should thank my two benefactors."
"I was just afraid you'd worry..."
Rongde: ...
"Still being stubborn!" he said, deliberately patting Rong Shen's arm twice.
Rong Shen, however, just smiled.
Ever since the old man learned that the family bloodline might end.
They treated him like a fragile object, handling him with extreme care. They were afraid that even a breath of theirs might melt him.
They didn't even dare to say a harsh word.
It's good as it is now; we've treated him like a normal person.
Rongde looked at his silly grandson, who was patted twice and was still laughing happily.
I was at a loss for words.
Too young, just like a little kid...
The next day, a major event occurred in the team.
Yao Honghong has gone mad.
The people in the brigade had just woken up when they saw a person in red clothes running around.
Aunt Hua and Xue Changshun chased after them.
Xue Changshun covered his head with his left hand, blood seeping between his fingers.
Grandma Hua cried and screamed, "What terrible things have I done! I married a madwoman to my son, and this madwoman even beat him up..."
In just a few words, all the blame was placed on Yao Honghong.
Aunt Hua chased after him, crying as she went.
The news spread quickly.
As Yao Honghong ran upstairs.
His facial expression was manic.
As she passed by Su Qiao, she turned her head away strangely.
The two exchanged a glance.
Su Qiao then realized that the man was faking his madness.
Yao Honghong's eyes were clear; she wasn't crazy at all.
She ran quickly to the entrance of the educated youth settlement, pounded on the door frantically, and shouted, "I want to go back! I want to go back!"
The educated youth settlement was not open.
Aunt Hua and the others caught up quickly.
Yao Honghong clung to the pillar, refusing to walk with her.
Aunt Hua retorted fiercely, "You won't leave, huh! Fine, then you can stay here. My son doesn't want you anymore!"
Upon hearing this, the gate to the educated youth settlement immediately opened.
Yao Qing immediately refused: "No way!"
Li Yanhong echoed this sentiment.
Yao Honghong is a very strange person. If they go back to the educated youth settlement, will they still be able to survive?
"How about I take care of Yao Zhiqing?"
A rough, hoarse voice rang out.
Looking back, it was Dong Yiyi, who had suddenly caught a bad cold last night. She was wrapped up tightly, hunched over, and looked very weak.
"Your cold isn't even better yet, how can you take care of others?"
“But Yao, the educated youth, is so pitiful, we can’t just ignore her.”
Everyone was surprised when he said this.
Has Dong Zhiqing really changed for the better? He's become so kind.
She's already so sick herself, yet she still has to take care of others.
Seemingly afraid that others wouldn't believe her, Dong Yiyi coughed a few times.
"I can take care of her by myself. It won't be a burden on you."
