This answer made Li Qingyun happy. She was basically certain that this person was most likely Erniu's biological father.
I didn't expect that there would be such a fate.
"Excuse me, is the old friend you're looking for a porcelain repairer with a slight limp?"
The man's face changed when he heard that.
He immediately sat up and looked at Li Qingyun seriously, his eyes full of expectation.
"How do you know?" He had so many questions he wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to start.
He looked at Li Qingyun nervously, hoping she would say more.
"To be precise, the person you are looking for should be a child of seventeen or eighteen years old, right?" Li Qingyun continued.
The man's eyes were filled with tears and red, and he was so excited that he couldn't make a sound and could only nod vigorously.
Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, he finally found the child.
Mother Gu was stunned beside them.
Isn’t the porcelain repairman with a slight limp Erniu’s father?
Isn’t a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child a bad boy?
She looked at the man again and said that he looked familiar. He looked just like Erniu.
I chatted with people all the way, but they didn't even notice this.
It also depends on the sharp eyes of her daughter-in-law.
"Are they... okay?" The man paused slightly, perhaps afraid of hearing news that would be difficult to accept.
"Erniu's adoptive father passed away when he was still young, leaving him to live alone. With the care of his fellow villagers, he managed to get by."
When the man heard this, he felt a little sad and a little happy.
I feel sad about the passing of the porcelain repairman, but I am happy that my child is still alive and well in this world.
The man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, got off the bed, and solemnly asked Li Qingyun for the address.
Then he went out and found the conductor to buy a new ticket.
He had originally received news that a child was born in a county town near the three northeastern provinces and was preparing to rush over.
According to the original plan, he had to get off the train at the next stop.
So he rushed to buy the ticket as he wanted to go with the family to find the child.
After so many years, I can finally put down the heavy stone in my heart.
I haven't felt so happy in a long time.
The conductor had received a notice from his superiors to take special care of this person, so he quickly helped him get a new ticket.
When the man returned to the carriage, Gu Tingzhou also came over.
It was originally agreed that he would take over in the afternoon, but when he saw that Li Qingyun had not arrived yet, he became worried and came to check on the situation.
Unexpectedly, Li Qingyun said that she had found Erniu's biological father.
This is really a case of searching for something everywhere but finding it without any effort.
So when the man came in, the two of them stared at each other with wide eyes.
Li Qingyun quickly introduced: "This is my man, Gu Tingzhou, my name is Li Qingyun."
The man extended his hand to Gu Tingzhou: "Young man, are you a soldier?"
"yes."
Gu Tingzhou shook his hand back.
"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Xu Jinghong and I am an engineer.
Normally everyone calls me Engineer Xu, but if you don’t mind, just call me Brother Xu.”
Afterwards, Xu Jinghong told them a story full of ups and downs.
When Xu Jinghong was a teenager, his family was a wealthy businessman. Due to the war, they had to travel around. In order to have a stable environment, the family later moved abroad.
He showed amazing talent in studying when he was young, and seemed to be cheating all the way.
Later, I entered a research institute and learned a lot of advanced knowledge, theories and practices from abroad.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, national security was under great threat. Without its own nuclear weapons and armed forces, China was coveted by some major powers.
Under the patriotic education of his father, Xu Jinghong never forgot that he was a Chinese.
He wants to do his bit to build and develop his motherland.
So he resolutely decided to return home.
However, this idea was strongly resisted by foreigners, who first arrested his parents and forced him to submit.
Unexpectedly, Xu's parents were also patriots. In order to fulfill their son's righteousness, the couple both committed suicide in prison.
This cut off Xu Jinghong's retreat, and he now had only one way out, which was to return to China at all costs.
So he took his wife and child, who had just given birth, and secretly found someone to send them back home.
Unexpectedly, they were ambushed by the enemy on the road, and his wife died while trying to protect the children.
He lost three relatives and was heartbroken.
He must not let the enemy succeed.
Because he was alone and had a small target, he successfully avoided several waves of enemy ambushes and returned to his homeland with his children with great difficulty.
At this time, he didn't know that people in China were also trying their best to find him.
The other party was afraid of complications and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, so they increased the number of search personnel and found him quickly.
He had been shot while fleeing and felt that he might have a hard time surviving this time.
He was hiding in the street corner, watching the residents nearby, trying to find a suitable family to entrust the child to.
Unexpectedly, at this time, he saw a porcelain repairman walking through the streets with a load on his shoulder.
Although he had a slight limp, he was very kind. When children on the street made fun of his legs, he just smiled and generously gave the children some candy.
The wild cats and dogs on the roadside were also very docile in his presence, so he must have fed them a lot.
Time is urgent and there is no time to think too much.
He gritted his teeth and went forward to talk to the porcelain repairman.
"Hello."
"Sir, are you mending porcelain?"
"I'm afraid I won't live long. Can I entrust this child to you?"
The man thought he was joking.
