Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan took the initiative to wash the dishes and pots, while Su Mianmian led everyone towards the cowshed.
It was lunchtime and there were few people on the road, so the group quickly reached the cowshed.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw everyone sitting together, eating simple porridge and steamed buns.
Upon seeing this, Su Mianmian immediately took out a small pot of fragrant braised pork from the basket like a magic trick, and the aroma immediately filled the entire room.
"I'm here to give you another snack!" Su Mianmian shouted with a smile.
As soon as Mrs. Shen saw Su Mianmian, Su Qingqing and Su Yanshu, a bright smile immediately broke out on her face. She quickly moved the seat next to her and let the three of them sit down.
Su Xinzhang and Wen Yuexian looked at each other tacitly, as if they understood something. After greeting everyone, they returned to their room.
After they left, Su Mianmian began to invite everyone to eat: "Eat quickly, the braised pork is getting cold!"
Yan Tongchun and Jiang Ya looked at the braised pork in their hands and looked at Mrs. Shen hesitantly: "This... Ah Xian and the others..."
Mr. Shen interrupted their concerns. He picked up the small bowl of braised pork, set aside a portion, and gestured to everyone, "Let's eat. Don't worry about them."
Old Mrs. Shen also nodded and agreed: "Well, eat."
Old Master Shen took a bite of the braised pork and nodded with satisfaction: "It's delicious. I, an old man, came to the cowshed and ate the meal cooked by you, a girl. Mian, Qing, and Yan, have you guys eaten? Do you want some more?"
Su Mianmian smiled and shook her head: "No, no, Ah Yan and I had already eaten at home before coming here." As she said that, she pinched her little brother's ear in response.
"Yes, we have eaten with Grandpa Shen, you guys can eat." Su Qingqing echoed.
…
After the three of them arrived at the next room, Wen Yuexian poured two glasses of water and handed them to them.
Su Xinzhang took the water, took a sip, and looked at Su Guangbai, "You... are Qingqing's father, right?"
Su Guangbai thanked him and immediately replied when he heard Su Xinzhang's question, "Yes, my name is Su Guangbai. I heard Ah Cheng mention you, so I hurried here from the capital."
Seeing this, Wen Yuexian sat next to Su Xinzhang and patted his arm gently.
Su Xinzhang smiled back, then looked at Su Guangbai, "How...how can we verify whether I am a member of your family? What do we need to do?"
Su Guangbai was silent for a moment before speaking, "I still want to know something about you. Ah Cheng didn't explain it clearly on the phone last time."
Su Xinzhang nodded, "It should be."
"I don't know how old I was when I was picked up by my father-in-law's family. It's just that my wife wanted me to be her older brother, and my father-in-law's family thought we were about the same age, so they made me one year older than my wife." Su Xinzhang spoke slowly.
Su Guangbai frowned. "I heard from Ah Cheng that you have an agate bead. Can you show it to me?"
Su Xinzhang nodded, took out the agate bead that he never left his hand from his pocket and handed it to him, "This is it."
Su Guangbai looked at the agate bead he took out with a sense of loss, "Is this the only one you have? Do you have any more?"
Su Xinzhang looked at Wen Yuexian, who shook her head. "No, I clearly remember that when Old Su came to my house, he only had this one, because I was the one who helped him change his clothes. At that time, this agate bead fell from his pocket and broke on the ground. I remember it very clearly."
Su Xinzhang also nodded. It fell to the ground and got a cut. His wife even asked her father-in-law to find someone to fix it.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this bead?" Su Xinzhang couldn't help but speak when he saw his solemn expression.
Su Xinzhang looked at his face, and the hope that had risen in his heart was extinguished again. He might not be the child of this family.
Su Guangbai was looking at the agate beads and thinking about something, so he didn't hear what Su Xinzhang said.
Seeing this, Wen Yuexian asked again, "Is there something wrong with this agate bead? Isn't Lao Su your brother?"
This time, Su Guangbai heard it and quickly said, "There's nothing wrong with this agate bead, but there should be three of them, each with our name engraved on it."
Wen Yuexian nodded. The surname Su that their family registered for Old Su was based on the character Su engraved on the agate beads.
Su Xinzhang: "Then if that's the same as what that young man said, then there's no way to prove whether I'm your brother or not?"
Su Guangbai shook his head, "Yes, and this secret is only known to me and my mother."
Wen Yuexian's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked anxious, "What secret?"
Su Guangbai looked at the two of them with a smile on his face and said something shocking, "You have a thumb-sized dark blue birthmark on your butt, right?"
Su Xinzhang was surprised, and Wen Yuexian was shocked. She knew whether Old Su had a birthmark or not.
Now hearing him ask this, I couldn't help but blurt out, "How did you know?"
Su Xinzhang held his wife's hand and signaled her not to get excited.
When Su Guangbai heard her words, his eyes widened and became moist. This was his brother, the brother they had been looking for.
He should be happy now, having found his long-lost brother.
His lips trembled slightly, a little excited and a little nervous. "Because my brother has a thumb-sized black and blue birthmark on his butt. He has had it since birth. Only mom and I know about it. You are my brother."
He was a little incoherent after he finished speaking, "You really are my brother, no wonder you look so much like mom. And that girl Mianmian, she looks even more like mom."
Su Xinzhang felt a little happy, but more confused. Wasn't this a joke? Just concluding based on a birthmark? It didn't make any sense.
"This...isn't it a mistake?"
"No, no one knows that you have a birthmark on your butt. You are my brother. And that agate bead, I don't know why you only have one, but the three of us brothers and sisters have three on our bodies since we were born, each engraved with our own name." Su Guangbai said affirmatively.
Su Xinzhang nodded. Seeing him like this, he knew that he was not lying. He had previously wondered if he was abandoned by his parents. Now hearing him say this, it didn't seem like they had abandoned the child on purpose. Maybe something had happened.
Thinking of this, he also asked, "Then how did I lose it?"
Su Guangbai's face darkened upon hearing this. He clenched his fingers, and his eyes grew sharp. "You were quietly taken away when you were four years old. We're still investigating the mastermind behind this. I...we didn't intentionally abandon you or want you."
"Don't worry, the person who deliberately took you away has been caught by us. I've been asking him about your whereabouts, but he's been stubborn and just said he just dumped you in Jing City and refused to say anything more. So most of the people we sent over the years have been looking for you in Jing City, but after twenty years, there's still no news of you."
Something happened, so I need to take a day off! I'll update one chapter, please forgive me! (?ω?)hiahiahia
