Chapter 5: A Stick
Lin Kucan’s first wife is Jin Caifeng, who is 50 years old this year.
She was originally a lady from a wealthy family, but after liberation, everyone was equal, so she changed her cheongsam into a Lenin suit and dared not wear jewelry anymore.
The eldest son, Lin Gancao, was 30 years old, and the eldest daughter-in-law, Fu Muxiang, gave birth to the eldest son and grandson of the Lin family, Lin Jiageng.
The second son, Lin Duzhong, is 28 years old, and his second daughter-in-law, Pei Xuehua, gave birth to Lin Qingqing, the only jewel in the Lin family.
Looking at the happy family, Lin Kucan sighed softly in his heart, thinking that the only thing missing was a little son.
When the Lin family first arrived in Sijiu City, the order in the city was not very good because it had just been liberated.
My 13-year-old son went out to play and never came back. No one found him alive or dead. He disappeared mysteriously.
This has also become the biggest pain in the hearts of the Lin family.
Although Lin Kucan didn't usually say it, whenever he had free time, he would take some dry food and wander around the city aimlessly looking for his youngest son.
He even went to suburban areas such as Changping, Tongzhou, and Fengtai to look for it.
Because the Lin family didn't have a bicycle, Lin Kucan had to walk everywhere. He had suffered a lot over the past ten years, but in the end he gained nothing.
Thinking of this, Lin Kucan swallowed the bitter taste, looked at the bride and groom not far away, and thought that if his youngest son was still alive, he would be 23 years old and could get married.
That would be great.
The wedding banquet had not yet started, and the Li family was still holding the wedding ceremony facing the statue of the great man.
Suddenly, Lin Kucan saw the second son of the Wu family in the same courtyard peeking out, and thought that he might be looking for him, so he stood up and waved.
Wu Qingsheng's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he quickly ran over:
"Uncle Lin, hurry home! There's a strange young man in your house. My dad is saying it might be your third brother Lin who went missing ten years ago. We need you to go back and identify him."
"What?!!!"
Lin Kucan couldn't believe his ears and grabbed Wu Qingsheng's hand tightly:
"Celebrating birthday, you mean my youngest son is back?"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving all the Lin family members stunned. They were all anxious, and Jin Caifeng also grabbed Wu Qingsheng's other hand tightly.
"Celebrating birthday, my youngest son is back? Really? Did you see it?"
Wu Qingsheng was a little embarrassed:
"Well, well, I saw it. That guy does look about 70% similar to Brother Lin Da and Brother Lin Er, but I'm not sure if he's the missing Brother Lin San. Oh, and this guy was even knocked unconscious by a cannon. Why don't you go take a look first?"
"Yes, look, I have to go back and take a look."
The usually calm Lin Kucan could no longer maintain his rationality at this time. He didn't even say hello to the host and walked out in a hurry.
The sudden change at the Lin family table attracted everyone's attention. Li Jingming also came over and asked curiously:
"Sister-in-law, what happened to you? Why did Brother Sen run away without caring about himself? But we didn't take good care of him."
Jin Caifeng apologized embarrassedly:
"No, no, Jingming, it's like this, my youngest son might be back, so we have to go home and check on him. Look at this, this, we're embarrassed..."
Li Jingming and the Lin family were old colleagues and fellow villagers. He knew everything about the Lin family's youngest son and immediately became happy:
"Okay, okay, this is a big deal. You guys go first, and I'll come over after I finish this."
After hearing this, the Lin family could no longer sit still and all ran towards Daqudeng Hutong as fast as they could. They really ran.
Only two children, Lin Jiageng and Lin Zhenzhen, did not know what was going on. They were held by their parents and expressed strong dissatisfaction with not being able to have a share of the feast.
"I want to eat fish~~~"
"I want to eat rice~~~"
The Princess's Mansion, at the gate of the Lin family's house.
Lin Sanqi had woken up, but his head was still dizzy. Faced with the people around him asking questions, he chose to keep silent.
No one knows what era it is now, and he is not sure whether he has traveled back to decades ago or to an imaginary dynasty. So whatever he says is wrong.
Moreover, the world doesn't seem to be very peaceful. How could someone hit someone on the head with a stick without asking any questions?
It's not so bad if the head is bleeding, but if there is intracranial hemorrhage, it will either cause madness and paralysis or death. Where can we seek justice? My goodness, is there no law?
So Lin Sanqi decided not to speak and wait until he had figured out the situation.
Qin Hu, the director of the police station, and Aunt Qian, the street director, also rushed over. They both asked the people in the courtyard what had happened, and pointed at Lin Sanqi from time to time.
At this time, Lin Kucan and his family had already run into the yard panting.
When everyone saw that the real person had arrived, they all made way for Dr. Lin to go over and identify him.
When Lin Kucan saw a young man sitting at his doorstep, his hands began to tremble.
At this time, Lin Sanqi also noticed a group of people running from behind the crowd. The old man in the lead was staring at him, so he looked back.
Their eyes met and the surroundings quickly became quiet.
"Like, like, like my youngest son..." Lin Kucan muttered to himself.
"Hey, why does this old man look like my dad..." Lin Sanqi also complained secretly in his heart.
Hou Daya, Wang the matchmaker, Bao Yansheng, the old man, Ma Dazhuang and other neighbors all looked at each other, eager to know the final answer.
At this time, Jin Caifeng could no longer bear it, and ran to Lin Sanqi crying and hugged him tightly.
"My son, this is my son, ah, my poor son, dad and mom are sorry for you, where have you been all these years~~~"
Lin Sanqi was numb. If she was held by a young girl, it would be fine. But now she was held by an old woman. She was a little overwhelmed for a moment.
"Sister, by the Inland Sea?"
Wu Houxin was the quickest to react. He looked at the Lin family, then at the strange young man sitting on the ground, and nodded repeatedly:
"I told you, it looks like it, it really does."
Everyone in the yard nodded in agreement.
Chief Qin from the police station and Aunt Qian from the neighborhood committee frowned. A young man of unknown origin suddenly came to their jurisdiction to claim his relatives, which was suspicious no matter how they looked at it.
You have to know that there are still many enemy spies in the capital these days, so you must be vigilant.
Even if he is not an enemy spy, the household registration in this capital city is so precious. One more person will increase the food burden for the country, so we can't just give it to a foreigner, right?
So the two of them looked at each other and decided to investigate it carefully.
Director Qin looked at the crying Lin family and reminded them:
"Doctor Lin, please first find out whether this young man is your youngest son. What if he isn't? There's no evidence to support this."
