Chapter 164 Meeting
Jiang Cheng stood outside the train station, standing on tiptoe and looking around.
Crowds of people came out, carrying large and small bags in sacks, some carrying them on their shoulders, some carrying shoulder poles, and some carrying baskets on their backs.
Finally, Jiang Cheng saw Ma Chunhua.
Jiang Cheng smiled knowingly.
Ma Chunhua definitely wore her best clothes, which coincidentally reflected Ma Laogu's idea.
They both want to let each other know that they are doing well.
"Ma Chunhua!"
Jiang Cheng raised his hand and shouted at the top of his voice.
Ma Chunhua, who was feeling a little uneasy, felt calm for a few seconds when he saw Jiang Cheng.
"Jiang Cheng!"
Both parties walked towards each other and met.
"Jiang Cheng, this is my father Qi Dong, my mother Liu Hua, and this is my wife Zhou Chenghui."
Ma Chunhua introduced them and Jiang Cheng greeted them one by one.
She led the way out of the train station and took the whole family to a truck.
"I wanted to borrow two cars, but I couldn't make arrangements."
"Jiang Cheng, this, this--this"
Ma Chunhua wondered if he could still have a car?
She thought she was just walking back.
Even if there is a car, it would at most be a donkey cart or a horse carriage.
Who would have thought there were big trucks?
"No need for that. Master Ma has helped our family many times. I'm just helping to run errands. Everyone, get in the car."
Jiang Cheng opened the truck door, and Ma Chunhua's adoptive parents sat with their two children in their arms, while Ma Chunhua squeezed in the back.
Ma Chunhua's lover sat in the front, and Jiang Cheng sat alone in the truck bed.
She patted the truck, and Master Li inside the truck stretched out his hand, waved, and drove away.
Jiang Cheng borrowed the truck from the food factory this morning.
When I went to borrow a car, I happened to meet Director Fang of the textile factory.
When Jiang Cheng left, Director Fang's eyes were full of resentment.
He specifically reminded her: "We also have cars in our textile factory!"
Jiang Cheng could only coax her, "I know you're not at the factory, right? I'm not familiar with them, and I'm embarrassed to borrow it."
Director Lu, who was standing by, pursed his lips as he listened.
Are you embarrassed?
hehe.
In any case, Jiang Cheng, who borrowed the car very smoothly, gave Master Li two boxes of cigarettes and also brought a piece of good cloth to Master Li's sister-in-law.
The truck was moving very fast and arrived at the entrance of the alley where Ma Laogu lived in just a few minutes.
The truck couldn't get in.
Jiang Cheng jumped off the truck and asked a few people to get off.
When Ma Chunhua in the car entered this street, the flood of memories seemed to be unleashed.
Her adoptive mother Liu Hua was an extremely gentle woman who held Ma Chunhua's hand.
"Take your time. There's no rush."
"Um."
Ma Chunhua tried hard to control her emotions and tears.
The moment I got off the car, the alley in front of me overlapped with the scene in my dream.
At the end of the alley...
An old man with a hunched back tried hard to stand up straight, his eyes were not as bright as he remembered.
But the emotions contained in it made Ma Chunhua burst into tears and she could no longer hold back her tears.
I thought it was a rare word, but it just came out of my mouth like that.
"dad---"
The word "Dad" travels through the torrent of memories.
The daughter with pigtails in Ma Laogu's mind gradually overlapped with the girl in front of him.
“Moon—Crescent Moon!”
Ma Chunhua raised the corners of her mouth through tears and responded loudly: Hey!
She is Crescent Moon.
When the father and daughter met, everyone around them was wiping away tears.
"Damn human traffickers."
After wiping away her tears, Grandma Shen took Shen Yue and Shen Xing's hands and whispered, "Be careful, understand."
Shen Xing and Shen Yue nodded heavily.
Aunt Sun, who was a man of few words, also complained, "Human traffickers should all eat peanuts."
In an alley, in the middle of it, a father and daughter were hugging each other and crying.
On both sides are concerned friends and relatives.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and first thanked Master Li who was crying with tears in his eyes. After thanking them, she walked to the middle and said a few words of comfort.
After comforting her, Ma Chunhua wiped away her tears and began to introduce her family.
When Ma Laogu saw Ma Chunhua's adoptive father and mother, he was about to kneel down.
It's useless for anyone to stop it.
"Thank you!"
"Thanks!"
Ma Laogu really kowtowed to express his gratitude.
Thank them for taking in Ma Chunhua, thank them for keeping Ma Chunhua's last name, and thank them for treating Ma Chunhua sincerely.
Ma Laogu's thanks made everyone's tears, which had just dried, start to flow again.
After this round of crying, Ma Laogu was helped up and finally smiled.
! .
Because he saw his granddaughter and little grandson.
The family finally entered the house.
Ma Chunhua's adoptive parents took out photos of Ma Chunhua when he was a child.
"When we found Chunhua, we were thinking how heartbroken someone would be if they lost their child."
"So we take a photo of Chunhua every year, so that we can recognize her biological parents when we find them one day in the future."
Ma Laogu, I’ve said thank you so much that I’m tired of it.
But no amount of thanks could express the gratitude in his heart.
Ma Laogu took out a tin box with trembling hands and took out a yellowed photo from it.
The childhood photos of both sides were matched.
The two closest photos both show Ma Chunhua’s brilliant smile.
The suffering during that period in between seemed to just disappear.
Everything is in place now, and all that's left is time to reminisce and talk.
Jiang Cheng stayed in the house and talked to everyone, while Grandma Shen and Aunt Sun helped with the cooking.
Inside the house, everyone talked about the future.
It would be difficult for Ma Chunhua to move as he has a family, but Ma Laogu is alone and can move away at any time.
Although Ma Laogu was reluctant, he was more afraid.
He was afraid that his presence there would add to Ma Chunhua's burden and that he would bring instability to their stable family.
"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll come over to see you guys when I'm free. I've lived here my whole life, so I'm used to it."
"And your mother is still here."
Ma Chunhua did not force it.
In fact, talking about the past is not just a matter of one sentence.
At least there should be an empty room in the house for Ma Laogu to live in, but she doesn't have one at the moment.
"That's it for now, Dad, come visit me when you have time, okay?"
Hearing Ma Chunhua calling him "Dad", Ma Laogu's face had fewer wrinkles.
"Okay! I'll definitely go."
In fact, as long as he found Ma Chunhua and knew that Ma Chunhua was living well, Ma Laogu would have completely let go of the burden in his heart.
He didn't look for Ma Chunhua to provide for his retirement.
"This is also good. Master Ma is only in his fifties, which is the right age to work hard. You have to make money well and buy candy for your grandchildren."
Jiang Cheng said this and everyone laughed.
But Ma Laogu did listen to it.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, we had lunch together.
The meal took more than an hour.
After dinner, everyone cleaned up together.
After almost finishing the cleanup, Jiang Cheng and others left first.
Ma Laogu came out to see Jiang Cheng off for the first time and looked at Jiang Cheng with a thousand words to say.
Jiang Cheng still smiled and said, "No need to say more, remember everything. I might need your help in the future."
Ma Laogu nodded very solemnly.
"Jiang Cheng!"
Shen Que came to pick up Jiang Cheng, Grandma Shen and others.
When Ma Laogu saw Shen Que for the first time, his eyes involuntarily fell on Shen Que's legs, as if thinking about something.
Jiang Cheng was about to leave but was stopped by Ma Laogu.
The two walked aside, and Ma Laogu asked in a low voice, "Is that man you?"
"My undocumented lover."
