Zhuang Sheng looked at Liu Ruonan who suddenly rushed out, supported her and said with concern: "Did I wake you up?"
Liu Ruonan couldn't hear what Zhuang Sheng was saying at all. Her eyes were filled with excitement as she looked at Liu Kaixu. She suppressed the urge to call him "Master" and said to him, "Grandpa Liu, why are you here?"
This was what the two of them agreed upon when they met last time, to call him Grandpa Liu.
It was obvious that Liu Kaixu was also moved when he saw Liu Ruonan. Tears seemed to soak his eyes. He stood at the door, the cold wind whistling past, blowing his pale beard and swaying in the wind. Coupled with the pitiful expression on his face, he looked very desolate.
Liu Kaixu reached out his hand tremblingly and took Liu Ruonan's hand, tears streaming down his face. His lips trembled, and he wanted to say something but couldn't. He shook his head, trying to calm himself down, but found himself even more agitated.
Liu Kaixu just lowered his head, tightly grasped Liu Ruonan's hand, and sobbed softly.
Liu Ruonan frowned slightly and exchanged glances with Zhuang Sheng, not understanding why Liu Kaixu had suddenly become like this. But she suddenly remembered the last time they met, when the old man suspected that she was Liu Kaixu's descendant.
An incredible idea arose in her mind.
Impossible! How could it be such a coincidence?
"Old man, if you have anything to say, please come inside and talk!" Zhuang Sheng helped Liu Kaixu into the north room, asked him to sit on the sofa, and then brewed a cup of hot tea and handed it to Liu Kaixu.
Liu Kaixu's emotions gradually calmed down. He looked up at Liu Ruonan and slowly said, "My child! You really are my granddaughter!"
The sudden words made Zhuang Sheng a little overwhelmed for a moment. He looked at Liu Ruonan and then glanced at Liu Kaixu. How could the old man in front of him be Liu Ruonan's grandfather?
He had never heard Liu Ruonan say that she had a grandfather!
Zhuang Sheng looked at Liu Ruonan, as if trying to find the answer in her eyes, but Liu Ruonan frowned and gave him a puzzled look.
Yes. Even Liu Ruonan, the person involved, found it difficult to imagine it at first.
Liu Kaixu was her master in her previous life, an old man who treated her very well. No, it should be said that for Liu Ruonan, he was like a family member. In her previous life, the two of them were almost together day and night, and she had called him master all her life. However, in this life, her master suddenly came to her and told her that she was actually his biological granddaughter!
This is really unexpected.
Liu Kaixu tremblingly took out a piece of paper from his pocket. On it was his son's birth certificate from that year, and the date of birth on Liu Ruonan's household registration book when his father was alive. They were exactly the same.
Liu Kaixu told Liu Ruonan everything he had done recently.
It turned out that since their last separation, Liu Kaixu had not given up and was determined to find out Liu Ruonan's identity. So, he brought his wife to Lelin Village and inquired about Liu Ruonan's news.
But no one knew about Liu Ruonan's grandfather, but they learned a lot about Liu Ruonan's tragic life. Liu Kaixu was very distressed about this.
Later, Liu Kaixu found out about Liu Ruonan's uncle and went to the village the villagers mentioned. After some inquiries, he found out that they had moved. He then went to another village and finally found Liu Ruonan's uncle.
But Liu Ruonan's uncle seemed to be very resistant to Liu Ruonan's affairs. In fact, he was still a little annoyed by his sister's stubbornness back then.
Liu Kaixu begged and persuaded Liu Ruonan's uncle in every possible way before he was willing to sit down and have a good chat with Liu Kaixu and his wife. He told Liu Kaixu everything he knew about Liu Ruonan's father.
Liu Kaixu wanted to know the birthdate and place of origin of Liu Ruonan's father, so Liu Ruonan's uncle took Liu Kaixu and his wife back to their original village to get a certificate. Because Liu Ruonan's father was no longer alive, if he wanted to retrieve the file from the Public Security Bureau, he had to get a certificate from the village.
However, upon arriving at the Public Security Bureau, they discovered that the deceased had already been deregistered. Fortunately, back then, equipment wasn't readily available, and much of the information was stored in archives. To satisfy the elderly man's quest for verification, the police went to great lengths to locate historical records, retrieving some of Liu Ruonan's father's files.
After comparing them, they found that the birth date was the same as that of his own son. Furthermore, the file contained a one-inch black-and-white photo of Liu Ruonan's father. Liu Kaixu begged the police to keep the photo.
No one knew that Liu Ruonan's father in the photo looked exactly like herself when she was young.
Now that the son's identity has been confirmed, Liu Ruonan's identity is also clear. There is no need to verify these things.
To express his gratitude to Liu Ruonan's uncle, Liu Kaixu gave him 800 yuan as a thank-you fee. At the time, Liu Ruonan's uncle actually refused. He was angry with his sister, but when he learned that she had indeed had a hard time later, the knot in his heart was untied. After all, the person is no longer with us, so what's the point of brooding over these things?
But he couldn't resist Liu Kaixu's insistence, so he finally accepted it.
After all this time, by the time all these things were confirmed, it was already the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. The Chinese New Year was approaching, and Liu Kaixu and his wife were in an irrepressible state of excitement. Too many thoughts were running through their heads.
The son's place of origin is written as his hometown. So, the son still remembers his place of origin, but why didn't he go home after he got lost?
The couple didn't dare go anywhere or move because they were afraid their child wouldn't be able to find them when he returned. If he had returned home, he would definitely have been reunited with his parents.
Later, the couple, who had been waiting for their son for a long time, set out on a journey to find their son. Over the years, they searched hard but still could not find any trace of him.
Unexpectedly, today, they did not see their son, but saw their granddaughter.
What makes people even more sad is that his granddaughter had to live a painful life for so long. If they were there, would the outcome be different?
Thinking like this, she felt filled with guilt. The more guilty she felt, the more she didn't know how to face Liu Ruonan. To this day, Liu Kaixu's wife is still hiding at home crying, not knowing how to face Liu Ruonan, because she couldn't imagine the pain in her heart when her granddaughter looked at her with resentful eyes.
