This is an old notebook; you can tell that the paper was the best available in 1995.
Even after twenty years, these papers are still very clean, with almost no flaws, and the corners are also very flat, showing that he has been careful to preserve them.
She flipped through it again, paying attention to the handwriting.
Twenty years ago, he was only a few years old, but his handwriting was already very neat, which shows how much effort he put into writing each character.
As time went on, his handwriting became more and more mature. It changed a lot with his age and mindset until it was finalized between 2011 and 2015. The handwriting, like him, is simple and clean, yet full of grandeur.
She had just been reborn into this era and hadn't had time to learn about the history of the 21st century, let alone what had happened in the twenty years since her birth.
These were recorded by her fourth brother and given to her as a gift.
This gift was so wonderful that it felt incredibly heavy in her eyes, a priceless treasure in her heart, more real and sincere than any gold or silver.
She was grateful to have come to this great country.
Seeing her silently staring at the blank page, Xiao Jinhan said, "These are just some of the most profound events that have happened to me in the past twenty years. There are many more, and I have written them down."
She placed the notebook against her chest, looked up at him, and her beautiful fox-like eyes, which had previously been mischievous and charming, became clear as a lake. She pursed her lips and said sincerely, "I like it very much, thank you, Fourth Brother..."
"Um."
She thought he would say some sentimental words about siblings recognizing each other, but to her surprise, he didn't say a word, just that one light and clear word.
However, only by seeing these things, the photos he recorded, the newspapers that were popular at the time, and the pages he carefully pasted into his notebook, can one understand how much effort he put into doing these things.
A sudden pang of emotion welled up in her eyes.
One thing, done by one person for twenty years.
He did all this for his sister, who he didn't know if she would ever come back. She suddenly felt as if she had been punched in the chest, and it hurt a little.
She came back too late...
Thankfully, she came back.
She took a deep breath, looked up at him, and there was no trace of the little fox's usual charming demeanor, only respect and love: "Fourth brother, why did you suddenly think of doing these things twenty years ago?"
Was he already so thoughtful when he was only a few years old?
Xiao Jinhan looked at the notebook in her hand, the one his mother had bought for him to use for studying.
At first, he didn't intend to give his sister a gift.
That happened at the end of 1995.
He suffered from sleepwalking as a child. He wandered to his parents' bedroom and was awakened by crying inside.
He intended to go in and comfort his mother, but instead overheard a secret.
The father told the mother that the younger sister was missing. After examining the body of a baby girl, Dan proved that she was indeed the younger sister who had been taken away.
The father confirmed with the police that his sister was dead.
He was too young to understand what death meant, but he did understand that his father meant his sister would never come back and had gone to another world.
The mother cried for a long time, still unwilling to accept this fact.
Afterwards, she asked her father to keep it a secret and not allow him to tell the children. She wanted the children to believe that their sister was still alive for the next ten, twenty, or even a hundred years. With this belief, no one in the Fu family would forget her daughter.
Therefore, none of the other brothers knew that his sister was dead; only he did.
At that time, he thought that if his sister went to another world, she would never see anything that happened in this world.
He wanted to write all of this down so he could show it to her later.
He only understood what death meant when he grew up.
He wanted to remember it for a lifetime, and on the day he passed away, he would take it to the crematorium, burn it together, and then go to another place so that his sister could see all the fallen petals in the world he had lived in.
Seeing that he remained silent, Tang Yaoyao panicked and asked again, "Fourth Brother, please tell me, I really want to know."
Xiao Jinhan's thoughts returned as he stared at her intently. Then, his clear voice rang out softly: "Your parents thought you had died, and your other brothers thought you had been abducted. But I knew the truth, so I recorded everything. Now that you're back, I'm giving you this notebook as a gift. For the next eighty years, you'll be responsible for recording everything yourself."
"Passed away..."
Tang Yaoyao grasped the key point of this sentence.
Why do my parents think she is dead?
Did they identify the body?
Thinking about this, Tang Yaoyao felt that the conspiracy was getting bigger and bigger. There must be someone behind it all, making her parents believe that she was dead. That's why her parents hadn't looked for her all these years.
So, over the years, only her fourth brother knew that she was "dead".
Her brothers were unaware of this, so they never stopped searching. Because of their unwavering belief over the years, they doted on her the moment they found her.
No wonder her brother couldn't find her no matter how hard he searched...
How can someone who is already dead be found?
"When my brothers were searching, did my parents secretly stop them, so they couldn't find out the truth about my 'death'?"
Xiao Jinhan nodded: "Mother, I would rather you disappear without a trace than have you become a dead person in our hearts."
Tang Yaoyao smiled.
His eyes welled up with tears as he smiled.
The parents certainly wouldn't want their son to know this cruel truth, so they would definitely try to stop him from searching, making it all for naught no matter which direction he looked.
So that's how it is...
So that's how it all happened...
Tang Yaoyao leaned softly against the sofa. She had always wondered how a powerful family like the Fu family could not find her.
It turns out that it was always the older brothers who were looking for him, while his parents were the ones stopping them.
At this rate, you couldn't find it even in a hundred years.
The person who orchestrated all of this is truly insidious and utterly despicable.
After a long while, she said, "Fourth brother, thank you for telling me all this."
Although she always knew that her parents must have had their reasons for not contacting her, she still felt some resentment.
Now that she knows the truth, she only feels that her parents were pitiful people...
They have always held her in the most important place in their hearts and have never forgotten her for a moment.
Let her live well in the hearts of her brothers and in the hearts of her parents. It turns out that everyone in the Fu family loves her so much.
"Thank you for the gift too..."
It filled that adrift heart that had been filled for twenty years.
Thinking of this, she laughed again: "How can you be sure I'll live to be eighty?"
Xiao Jinhan: "Let's open a gift."
