Liu Pei was seen supporting Zhao Lihan and walking towards the crowd.
"Wife, wife..."
When Wang Xiaolan heard the voice, she turned around and saw Zhao Lihan limping. Her heart suddenly tightened and she immediately rushed out of the crowd.
She hugged Zhao Lihan's arm, gently stroked the scars on his face, and asked anxiously: "Why are you injured like this? What happened?"
"I received a call saying you were missing, and I rushed to the county town in a hurry..."
He recounted what had happened.
Wang Xiaolan said angrily, "You! You, you're already such a grown-up, why can't you stay calm when encountering problems? With Brother Liu here, how can anything happen to me?"
"Sister-in-law, please don't say that. Li Han is not usually like this. As long as it's related to you, he loses his temper. It shows how much our brother Zhao cares about you."
Everyone looked at the couple with envy.
"Their relationship is so good, I'm so envious."
Wang Xiaolan's face turned red.
"Sit down and let me check your wound."
"No need, as long as you are okay, it's worth it for me to get hurt a little."
Just then, a nurse ran over panting.
"Doctor Wang, please go to the emergency room quickly. There is a patient in critical condition..."
Wang Xiaolan said to Liu Pei, "Brother Liu, I'll leave Li Han to you. Please."
"Go! You can rest assured that I am here."
Wang Xiaolan ran and looked back at Zhao Lihan.
Zhao Lihan looked at his wife whom he hadn't seen for a few days. She looked thinner and felt a little uncomfortable. He just kept waving at her.
They both watched Wang Xiaolan's figure disappear at the end of the corridor before they looked away.
"Brother Zhao, you two are already an old married couple, and your relationship is still so good. You should pass on your experience."
"Do you want to learn?"
"Of course I want to learn. Xiaoli and I have had some minor friction recently."
Zhao Lihan leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words, and Liu Pei's face turned red to his ears.
Liu Pei looked at Zhao Lihan in surprise as he stared at him for a long while.
"I really can't tell. Back when you were in the army, so many female comrades were chasing you, but you rejected them with just a few words, which made them very embarrassed and pissed me off. I really wanted to beat you up. Did you know that one of them was Xiaoli's good friend? It was Xiaoli who worked for her for a long time before she agreed to meet you... I didn't expect you..."
"You! Stop digging up my past. It's all my fault."
"What you said today really impressed me. You are really a master at making your wife happy. You are really talented. I have to learn from you."
Zhao Lihan changed the subject and said, "Old comrade, why are you here? When you got here, why didn't you come find me?"
Liu Pei recounted the story of the old man's hospitalization in the county hospital.
"What a coincidence! The one who performed the surgery on the old man turned out to be your daughter-in-law. I also met her here."
"The old man is here too. How is he now?"
"I'm recovering well and am currently dealing with the matter with the surname Xiao."
"Take me to see the old man."
Liu Pei supported Zhao Lihan and came to the old man.
The old man was also very happy to see Zhao Lihan.
"Li Han, your wife is good. She gave me my life."
"Don't say that, old man. She just did what she was supposed to do."
"You can't say that. In my case, no other doctor can help. Only your wife can."
Xiaoli said from the side: "Old comrade, my father is speaking the truth."
"Since we are old comrades, let's not be so formal."
He then said to the old man, "If you really want to make it hard for me, just accept her as your goddaughter!"
"Your suggestion is good. I need to choose a date and hold a formal recognition ceremony. This way, Xiaoli will have a sister and she won't be lonely anymore."
Xiaoli said from the side: "Dad, today is worse than tomorrow. Why don't we settle this today?"
"Xiao Li's idea is good. Let's do it today. What do you think, Li Han?"
"Okay, after she finishes the operation, I will bring her over to meet you."
As he was talking, County Magistrate Zhang came over and stared at Zhao Lihan for a long time. Zhao Lihan felt a little embarrassed by his stare and could only nod at him.
The old man said to him, "County Magistrate Zhang, this is my godson-in-law, and Zhao Lihan is the husband of my goddaughter."
"Your goddaughter?"
"It's Doctor Wang."
County Magistrate Zhang looked at Zhao Lihan thoughtfully, thinking, "Why does he look so familiar? I feel like I've seen him somewhere."
He searched his mind and suddenly thought of his cousin. The young man in front of him looked very much like his cousin, as if they were cast in the same mold. Could he be his cousin's...
He didn't dare to think any further.
"Comrade Xiao Zhao, where are you from?"
"I am from the Xiangshui Brigade of this county."
"Are your parents also from our area?"
"My stepfather is from here, but my mom isn't. I don't know the details. My mom never told me...my stepfather only recently revealed this information."
The old man reminded: "Comrade County Head, are you also here to claim a godparent?"
"That's not what I meant. Comrade Xiao Zhao looks a lot like one of my cousins, even his demeanor is similar."
When Zhao Lihan heard what the county magistrate said, he laughed disapprovingly.
"It seems my face is too common. Not long ago, a female educated youth from the Sixingang Brigade called me cousin as soon as she saw me. It made me very embarrassed at the time."
Liu Pei, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Maybe he really is her cousin. Your current father is not your biological father. If you continue investigating, you may find your biological father."
"It happened decades ago. How could it be such a coincidence?"
"That's hard to say."
At this time, County Magistrate Zhang heard their conversation.
He asked curiously, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, what's the name of the person you mistakenly identified as you?"
"She has the same last name as you, Hailing."
County Magistrate Zhang was surprised and asked, "Is it her?"
"Do you know her?"
"More than just knowing her, she's also my second cousin's daughter."
"What a coincidence! Zhang Hailing recognized my wife as her godsister."
Liu Pei said, "Your background needs to be thoroughly investigated. Two related people recognized you and a certain portrait in different locations. There must be some connection."
The old man also nodded.
"Yes! Son-in-law, you have to think about this carefully."
County Magistrate Zhang said, "If you don't mind, I'll write to my eldest cousin and ask him what exactly happened back then."
Zhao Lihan pondered for a moment and said, "Your cousin is not young anymore. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to ask such abruptly?"
"Don't worry about this, I know my limits."
Just then a voice came from behind.
"Who are you talking about?"
