"You're back, Xiaoxi!" Mu Fu waved at her daughter with red eyes, "Come, let me introduce you. This is Grandpa Gou, an old acquaintance of your grandfather."
"Hello, Grandpa Gou." Wen Xi called out obediently.
"Okay, okay! Xiao Mu, your daughter is really more like your parents than you are." The old man sighed after seeing Wen Xi.
Hearing him say this, tears instantly welled up in Mu Fu's eyes.
The old man took out a yellowed old photo from his pocket and handed it to her.
Mu Fu took the small photo with trembling hands, and when she saw the picture of her parents on it, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
This is a black and white wedding photo. The girl is as pretty as a flower, and the boy is elegant and handsome. They are sitting together in Chinese wedding attire, their hands clasped intimately, and their deep affection is evident at first glance.
"Mr. Gou, you just said that my father...is gone. How did he...go away? Was he sick?" Mu Fu asked in tears.
She was very happy to know that an old acquaintance of her family came to visit her, but she did not expect to hear such bad news.
My mother died tragically and my father is also gone. Although I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't accept the fact that I had passed away before I could see my loved ones.
"No, he didn't die of illness." The old man shook his head sadly.
"What is that?"
"He was chased by a group of villains and fell off a cliff. His body... is nowhere to be found." The old man gritted his teeth and said.
"What!" Mu Fu felt dizzy and almost lost her voice after hearing this.
Wen Chengyi hurriedly hugged his wife and comforted her softly.
Wen Xi calmed down and looked at the old man. "Grandpa Gou, my grandmother was also seriously injured and died back then. Do you know what happened? Were they the same group of people who harmed my grandparents? Who were they? What exactly happened back then?"
"Alas..." The old man sighed, "This is a long story. I experienced what happened back then personally, so I'm afraid no one in this world knows it better than me."
"Then could you please tell us what happened back then?"
"No problem. I came here today to settle this matter. Your grandfather's wish has not been fulfilled. I have been entrusted with this important task and I shall not let him down."
"Grandpa, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
"That's right, don't be impatient, let me tell you from the beginning."
"Okay." Wen Xi held her mother's cold hand, suppressing the turbulent waves in her heart. "You say."
"Your grandfather came from the Sheng family, a once-famous porcelain family in Jiangnan. He not only played the zither well, but he was also a good painter. He was a well-known porcelain painter."
"Wait, Grandpa Gou, did you just say the Sheng family?"
This description is so familiar and frightening...
"Yes, Sheng family."
"What is my grandfather's full name?"
"A refreshing breeze, a strong and refreshing breeze."
Sheng Qingfeng.
Sure enough, there are such incredible coincidences in this world!
Her grandfather turned out to be the comrade-in-arms that Mr. He had been looking for, and the person that Grandma Xiaohua had also been looking for.
Seeing Wenxi's strange expression, the old man was a little surprised: "Why, little girl, do you know the Sheng family?"
"No, I don't know." Wen Xi shook his head.
She was wary of strangers whose background she didn't know when she met them for the first time, and subconsciously denied them, not wanting to say too much.
The old man's face was filled with sorrow as he continued, "Yes, I knew that the Sheng family was famous decades ago. But who knows now? Back then, the porcelain produced by the Sheng family kiln was exported overseas and was unrivaled. Then, the world fell into chaos, and Brother Sheng joined the army to serve his country. When everything calmed down and he returned home, a famine broke out in the south."
