Su Chenhao laughed: "I'm really lucky, otherwise I wouldn't have run into her."
"Let's go." Su Xinghai waved his hand. "Let's not stand here. Let's go inside and talk. It's been a long time since we last met. Did you come to see me because you need something?"
Su Chenhao nodded and followed him into the house. He saw that the walls were covered with new newspapers, the kang (a heated brick bed) was very clean, and a small, separate kang table was placed in the middle. The teapot and teacups on it looked quite elegant.
While pouring them tea, Su Xing said, "My son took his wife and child up the mountain to play. I'm all alone at home now, so just tell me what you need to say."
Su Chenhao sat down on the other side of the kang (a heated brick bed): "I wanted to ask about my dad. I already know that he's not my grandfather's biological son."
I just want to know, how much do you know about what happened back then?
Su Xinghai's hand trembled, and he almost scalded himself with the water in the cup, putting it down on the table. He hadn't expected that this was the question the other person wanted to ask.
“Child, why are you asking about this? Your father has been dead for many years, and your grandfather has been buried for ages. What’s the point of investigating whether he’s your biological son or not now?”
"I just want to understand why my father was abandoned. People should return to their roots and recognize their ancestors. Everyone should have a place to belong in this life."
"Uncle, do you think what I said makes sense?" Su Chenhao appealed to his emotions and reason.
Su Xinghai was touched on a sensitive point. Some things are indeed better discussed clearly, especially at his age.
"Child, I only vaguely remember what happened back then."
Your father was rescued by your grandfather when he was only three months old, and the cotton quilt covering him was soaked with blood.
Later, I learned from the adults that your father and his family of three had entered the dense forest and encountered a pack of wolves.
Your grandfather went hunting in the mountains and only managed to save your father when he arrived. Your biological grandfather, on his deathbed, entrusted your father to your grandfather's care.
As for whether he left any message? I don't know, I was just a child then. If your grandfather were still alive, you could ask him, but the problem is he has passed away.
Su Chenhao's face darkened. He hadn't expected that his own grandparents were already dead, so there was no question of abandonment.
"And what about their bodies? Do you know where they're buried?"
Su Xinghai: "There are two unnamed graves on the back mountain. You should have seen them when you went hunting in the mountains."
Your grandfather goes to burn paper money for them every year, and your father goes with him.
After a moment's thought, Su Chenhao remembered the location of the two graves. They had no names, but he had encountered them when he was a child climbing the mountain. It turned out that they were the graves of his biological grandparents.
"Uncle, thank you for telling me the truth." Su Chenhao stood up. "I'll go check on the grave. I'll leave the house keys with you." He then took out a bunch of keys from his pocket.
Su Xinghai took the key: "Then I'll shamelessly accept it. I'll move out of your house next spring after I finish repairing the house."
Su Chenhao nodded, turned around, and left with Qiao Xiaoni. As they walked out of the courtyard, he thought about many other things.
Wild wolves often roam the dense forest behind the mountain, and normal people would not go in unless they were forced to enter the deserted forest.
