Sigh! When your father left, you were only ten years old, and I was only eight! In the blink of an eye, we've all grown old..."
The old man's eyes suddenly reddened, and his nose tingled with emotion. With the older generation gone, only these old bones still remembered their loved ones!
Back then, he was a tagalong who followed Brother Qiang around. Ever since Dong Qiang left with his family, he has never seen him again!
Xiao Che was also surprised; he had actually found the right person!
He opened his suitcase and showed the old man the photos he had prepared beforehand.
As the Minister of State Security, it's very easy for him to access someone's biographical information. What he's holding in his hand right now is a photo of Dong Youfu.
"Uncle Tiedan, this is my grandfather, do you think it is? My father... sigh! He worked hard in his younger years, and now that he's older, his health isn't so good..."
When Dong Qiang was mentioned, he shook his head and sighed repeatedly, looking distressed about his father's poor health.
The old man took the photo from the hand with trembling hands. As soon as he saw the person, he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it's Uncle Fu. Although he looks a bit older than when he left, I won't mistake him!"
So this is Uncle Youfu! Nephew, let's go home, we can't wait any longer, let's go home now! I'll take you to your cousin's house!
This uncle must be a descendant of the Dong Youfu brothers.
Xiao Che didn't say much after hearing this. He put away the photos and happily left with him.
When the old man arrived at the village in the oxcart, it was already noon. There were hardly any people on the road; everyone must have been eating at home. The old man drove the oxcart directly to a house at the east end of the village.
He stopped the oxcart and led Xiao Che inside.
"Quan'er, we're home. I'll go call everyone."
He quickly walked to the courtyard gate and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brother Fugui, are you home? We have guests! Come out quickly!"
The people inside heard the commotion and came out as well.
Xiao Che is now Dong Quan. He looked at the person who came out. He had a full head of white hair and looked very old, but he was in good spirits.
At this moment, he was also looking at Xiao Che with suspicion.
"Who are you?"
The old man slapped his thigh and laughed, "Don't recognize him? This is Dong Quan from Qiangzi's family! Your cousin! He's come back to see you!"
Dong Fugui was stunned upon hearing this, completely frozen in place. After regaining his composure, he grabbed the old man and excitedly asked, "Who? Who did you say? Brother Qiang? Dong Qiang? My older cousin?"
The old man nodded repeatedly, his face flushed with excitement.
"That's right! Uncle Fu's grandson! He's back!"
Dong Fugui suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Che, scrutinizing him from head to toe.
Xiao Che now has a tan complexion, thick eyebrows, big eyes, broad shoulders, and some fine wrinkles on his face, making him roughly forty years old.
He laughed and called out, "Uncle Fugui! My name is Dong Quan! My father is Dong Qiang! He told me to come back to find you and see how your family is doing!"
Dong Fugui never imagined that he would see his relatives who had left his hometown years ago again in his lifetime.
Looking at him now, I felt a mix of emotions.
Finally, suppressing his excitement, he said, "Everyone, come inside!"
