Xie Mingzhu nodded slowly.
The old man was completely stunned.
He originally thought the child's mother was irresponsible, and planned to take the child away before the woman came looking for him, so that they wouldn't be able to find him.
Unexpectedly, this person actually lived in the military compound...
What did they say on the phone?
The old man was stunned for a moment.
Oh... I do think it was mentioned that this woman had a relationship with a soldier, but what exactly was that relationship?
Grandpa Gu frowned in annoyance.
He's old and hard of hearing, and he was in such a rush that he didn't hear clearly.
It seems... this girl is also a military dependent?
After thinking about it carefully, Grandpa Gu agreed.
This is a military compound; the people living here are either soldiers or their families.
The girl's small stature, clothing, and hairstyle didn't make her look like a soldier.
That means it could only be a military family member.
The old man boasted that he had an accurate eye for people, and that he had almost never been wrong about anyone when he was young.
He looked the girl in front of him over and couldn't help but nod in approval to himself.
The girl didn't seem as bad as he had imagined.
She was a very polite person, and even at a time like this, she didn't forget to wipe away her tears and try to calm herself down before speaking.
She also kept an eye on his emotions while speaking, and her attitude was very humble.
And she was so excited when she saw the child... she didn't seem like someone who wanted to give up the child at all.
It seemed rather heartbreaking.
There must be some misunderstanding here.
The old man couldn't utter a single word of the speech he had prepared.
But he was still somewhat reluctant to part with this grandson he had gained for free.
After hesitating for a long time, not knowing what to say, I could only grit my teeth and push Jiang Jiang.
"Jiangjiang, this is indeed your mother. Isn't this the mother you've always wanted? Why don't you greet her?"
Jiang Jiang was completely bewildered. He blinked his little eyes, glancing at Grandpa Gu one moment and staring at Xie Mingzhu the next. He was in a completely different mood from the two of them, and instead seemed unusually excited, his eyes practically sparkling.
Jiang Jiang was pushed by his grandfather and took a step forward. He then hugged Xie Mingzhu's leg, tilted his little head up to look at her, and his joy was almost overflowing from his smile.
The little guy exaggeratedly held his head, looking as if he had been overwhelmed by the surprise.
"My God, is Jiang Jiang dreaming? His dream has suddenly come true?!"
"Did the Heavenly Goddess hear Jiang Jiang's prayers?"
Jiang Jiang's eyes sparkled, and with her tiny, chubby hands, she clasped them together and bowed three times to the sky, her voice still sweet and innocent—
"Thank you, Mother Goddess, for giving me Aunt Mingzhu to be my mother!"
"Jiang Jiang would never dare to dream of such a thing!"
After saying that, he hugged Xie Mingzhu's leg and rubbed his soft little face against it.
"Auntie, that's wonderful! From now on, you'll be Jiangjiang's mom!"
"You have no idea, ever since Jiangjiang met Auntie, she often hides under the covers and secretly prays that Auntie will be her mother!"
"That's wonderful! From now on, Jiangjiang is Mommy's child. Jiangjiang will never be separated from Mommy!"
The little guy rubbed against her so cutely that Xie Mingzhu stopped crying and smiled. She couldn't help but squat down and give him a big hug.
"Mommy's sweet baby, Mommy has finally found you..."
Jiang Jiang's bright voice rang out immediately afterward, and the little guy wanted to jump and bounce in Xie Mingzhu's arms.
"Jiangjiang has finally found his mother!"
Grandpa Gu was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
The old man was a man of strong emotions. He rubbed his slightly red eyes, shook his head with a smile, sighed, and said to the guard beside him.
"Perhaps this is the connection between family members. I really didn't expect that the two of them knew each other so early on."
"Even if they hadn't recognized this blood relation before, they all got along so well and liked each other so much... They really are a family. Even if you don't recognize them, you'll be naturally drawn to each other and develop a natural liking for one another."
Grandpa Gu had raised Jiang Jiang for so many years, and he couldn't help but step forward and stroke the little guy's fluffy head, his nose feeling a little sore.
“Jiangjiang, you’ve found your real mother now. This is different from all the others you’ve had before.”
"From now on, you can live with your mother. You won't be able to stay with your grandfather forever..."
Jiang Jiang was still immersed in joy when she heard these words and suddenly came back to her senses.
He had searched for his mother so many times before, but each time he returned disappointed.
The woman standing before him now is truly his biological mother.
Jiang Jiang hugged Xie Mingzhu's leg tightly with her little hands and stared at her for a long time before she finally felt a sense of reality.
Xie Mingzhu's eyes were red. When she turned her head, she saw that the old man's eyes were also red. Jiang Jiang's little mouth twitched, and she felt a pang of sadness. Her nose also turned red. She patted Xie Mingzhu and then turned her head to pat the old man.
"Mommy, don't cry. Grandpa, don't cry..."
Jiang Jiang frowned and thought for a moment. He was also a little reluctant to leave his grandfather while staying with his mother.
The little one thought and thought, her eyes gradually reddening, and she raised her arm to wipe away her tears.
"Hello, Mom, and hello, Grandpa too."
"Mom, even if Jiangjiang lives with you in the future, can you still let Grandpa be my grandfather?"
"The old man is very, very good. Although Gu Yanjun has a sharp tongue, he's actually a good person..."
