Chapter 155 Recognition
Xia Shuangshan felt aggrieved and angry, but he finally held it back and turned away.
The city people eat the food grown by these country folk and don't have to worry about going hungry all year round, yet in the end they still look down on them.
The unfairness of this world has never disappeared.
After Xia Shuangshan came out of the ticket office, he suddenly felt the money on him and hurriedly checked his pockets. It didn't matter that he checked them, but his pockets were empty. The thirty yuan he needed to buy the coal stove, the industrial coupons, and the hundred yuan that Xia Juanjuan gave him were nowhere to be found!
Xia Shuangshan suddenly felt dizzy, his face turned pale, and his legs and feet were weak! With trembling hands, he hurriedly took off all the patched clothes on his body and searched all the pockets on his clothes, but... where could he find it?
Even...he didn't even know when he lost his money!
One hundred and thirty dollars!
He worked for a year and only saved 20 yuan. If he wanted to save 130 yuan, he would have to work for 6 or 7 years!
More importantly, that was the money he was looking for from his son!
Now that the money is gone, how can my son find it?
Xia Shuangshan stood there in a daze as if he had lost his soul, and then suddenly there was a thud, and he fell straight to the ground!
At this moment, a tall figure had just returned to the door of the ticket hall and was looking inside, as if he was looking for someone. When he heard the noise and looked over here, his heart tensed up and he pushed the others away and rushed over!
"What's going on?"
"I don't know. I just saw him searching his pockets hastily, and then he fell headfirst!"
"Oh! Maybe the money on him was stolen. I heard that a few days ago, someone also fell down and died after his money was stolen!"
"Hurry up and pinch the philtrum to save it! Oh! Those pickpockets are such evildoers...!"
The man who rushed over saw clearly who the unconscious person was lying on the ground, and his body was shocked.
Then, without any hesitation or awkwardness, he pushed away the people surrounding Xia Shuangshan, pinched his philtrum and pressed hard on his chest, trying to save him!
While rescuing him, he shouted, "Hey! Wake up! I found your money! It's not lost!"
Xia Shuangshan remained motionless.
The man was so anxious that his voice began to tremble. He shouted hoarsely, "Dad! Wake up! I'm Xiaotian! I'm your son! Don't scare me!"
It turns out that this person is Yan Haotian!
Yan Haotian returned to the south, and after staying in the army for more than a month, his old leader kicked him here again, nominally on a temporary basis to the army here for half a year.
Yan Haotian knew, of course, that the old leader sympathized with him for not recognizing his relatives last time, and that his sister was about to give birth, so he deliberately arranged this "secondment" job for him so that he could stay close to his family and be taken care of.
When he got off the train and left the station, he noticed a few suspicious people, so he followed them quietly to the ticket office.
He happened to meet his accomplice who had stolen from Xia Shuangshan and was hurriedly heading out into the dark alley to join up with him.
However, Yan Haotian only saw Xia Shuangshan's back and did not recognize him at first.
In order to catch the pickpocket in one fell swoop, Yan Haotian did not step forward to subdue the pickpocket immediately, but followed him quietly without making any noise.
When those people found out that they had found 130 yuan and industrial coupons from Xia Shuangshan, their eyes lit up with excitement.
At this moment, Yan Haotian came out and knocked them down in no time.
Then, he searched out all the money that those people had stolen from Xia Shuangshan and walked to the sales hall to return it to the people who had been stolen from.
Unexpectedly, the person who was robbed turned out to be Xia Shuangshan!
It was not known whether it was because of Yan Haotian's calls that Xia Shuangshan finally opened his eyes.
Seeing this, Yan Haotian was afraid that he would faint again due to the severe shock, so he quickly stuffed the thick 13 large group notes and the money rolled up with industrial coupons into his rough hands and said loudly: "I have found your money! Those pickpockets have also been caught!"
In those days, there were many people who died suddenly or committed suicide because they could not bear the loss of five or ten yuan, not to mention that the stolen money was 130 yuan!
Yan Haotian couldn't help but curse himself in his heart!
What a hypocritical man he is! He finally found his biological parents and confirmed that they were not the ones who sold him to traffickers. Why was he so scared that he didn't recognize them?
If Xia Shuangshan couldn't be saved in front of him now, he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life!
Xia Shuangshan looked at Yan Haotian blankly at first.
He vaguely heard someone calling him "Dad" and saying that he was "Xiaotian" and his son...
Is it really that God is merciful and sent his son back?
When he saw Yan Haotian clearly, Xia Shuangshan's eyes widened suddenly, and his lips trembled even more violently!
"Comrade! It's you! It's really you! You are... you are really...?"
He tightly grasped Yan Haotian's hand and shouted excitedly with a trembling voice. When he said the latter part, he still couldn't believe it was true. He couldn't even say the key part...
The circles around his eyes quickly turned red, and tears flowed down his cheeks.
Yan Haotian couldn't help being moved.
Country men are very concerned about their reputation. However, this honest farmer cried like a child in front of him for the second time.
And both times, it was because of his son, because of... him.
Yan Haotian nodded, shook Xia Shuangshan's hand tightly, and said affirmatively: "Hey! It's me, I am Xiaotian, your son!"
After getting a positive answer, Xia Shuangshan no longer cared about the embarrassment in public, and hugged Yan Haotian, trembling and saying: "Xiaotian! It's really you! It's really my son!"
Yan Haotian felt very embarrassed, so he pulled up Xia Shuangshan, who was so excited that he was talking incoherently, and said, "Dad, let's go back first..."
The crowd of onlookers saw the tragedy turn into a comedy of father and son recognizing each other, and they couldn't help but applaud enthusiastically and watched the father and son leave the train station.
After leaving the train station, Xia Shuangshan's initial excitement temporarily subsided, and awkwardness inevitably arose between the two grown men.
After a long silence, Xia Shuangshan coughed twice awkwardly and said, "Ahem... Well, let's go home first! Your mother and sister haven't found you yet! If your mother knew you didn't drown, she would definitely faint with joy! And your sister is going to give birth in a month, and our family is living in the county now!"
Although it was embarrassing, Xia Shuangshan's tone clearly showed that he was extremely excited and happy.
Yan Haotian agreed, but couldn't help asking, "Why do you carry so much money with you? The train station is already chaotic, and those pickpockets can tell at a glance that you have money on you..."
Xia Shuangshan sighed in fear and said, "Alas! I have never been away from home, so I wanted to ask how to buy a ticket and how much it costs. Your sister asked me to buy a coal stove and gave me a hundred yuan for my travel expenses. I was in a hurry and didn't leave it at home, so I took it out. Who would have thought..."
After hearing this, Xia Shuangshan remembered what Xia Juanjuan had asked him to do about buying a coal stove, so he dragged Yan Haotian to go buy the coal stove first.
It was impossible for two grown men, especially a father and son who had not seen each other for many years, to talk about their recent situation with each other right away like women would. In the awkward silence, they bought a stove and returned to Tonghua Lane the same way.
As soon as I reached the entrance of the alley, I saw Lin Yuru rushing out with a panicked look on her face, anxiously knocking on the door of the house next door.
While knocking, he shouted loudly: "Is there anyone there! Please open the door! My daughter is about to give birth! Can you help me find a car to take my daughter to the hospital? Is there anyone there?"
As luck would have it, the family was not at home today. Lin Yuru knocked for a long time but received no response and she was almost crying.
Xiaowen also ran out. She didn't cry even after falling down. She immediately got up and knocked on another door, crying loudly, "Please save my mom! My mom is about to give birth! Please help send my mom to the hospital!"
In the room, Xia Juanjuan covered her stomach, sweating profusely from the pain, and her face turned pale!
My stomach was tightening and aching, and the pain was getting stronger and stronger. Even compared to the most intense fetal movement in the past, it was not of the same magnitude!
Xiao Wu and Bei Bei surrounded her and couldn't help but burst into tears out of fear.
Xia Juanjuan didn't even have the energy to comfort them that she was fine!
After the snow fell, she was actually planning to go to the hospital and wait for the birth of her baby after Xia Shuangshan bought the coal stove.
Otherwise, if it snows heavily later, the road will be even more difficult to walk on. It would be a big nuisance if you slip and fall!
Who would have thought that before Xia Shuangshan came back, she suddenly started to have stomach cramps and contractions!
The only thing to be thankful for is that my water hasn't broken yet. Otherwise, it would be too late to rush to the hospital.
But even so, Xia Shuangshan is not at home, and there is nothing Lin Yuru and the three little guys can do!
Xia Juanjuan even began to consider whether she should teleport directly to the hospital through space... No! Wouldn't she be dissected like a little mouse?
All the people living in this area had moved away, so Lin Yuru and Xiaowen knocked on several doors but couldn't find anyone. They were so anxious that they almost cried.
Xia Shuangshan and Yan Haotian rushed over to ask what happened. After listening to Lin Yuru's words, the two rushed into the house to check on Xia Juanjuan.
Yan Haotian calmed down a lot and acted decisively. He removed the door panel of the house, spread a quilt, carried Xia Juanjuan and put her on the door panel, and wrapped her in the quilt. For fear that she would fall off, he tied her up with ropes several times. He and Xia Shuangshan carried Xia Juanjuan to the hospital, one in front and one behind.
At the same time, Yan Haotian turned to Lin Yuru and said, "Mom, go to the police station quickly and tell them that Yan Haotian asked you to go find them and ask them to drive over to Tonghua Lane!"
The county hospital is also located in the new city area where employee buildings are concentrated. If we just walk there, I'm afraid Xia Juanjuan will give birth on the way!
