He couldn't remember the past, and his daughter was already married. If he didn't continue herding sheep, would he really have to live with them?
His daughter's in-laws would inevitably look down on her, and he hadn't been able to help her much in the first place, so he really didn't want to cause any more trouble.
If my arrival causes chaos in my son-in-law's family, I'd rather never know I have a daughter and never let them find me.
Su Yue stared at Su Shizhong, whose face was covered with a full beard. Her father was actually not that old, not even fifty years old.
However, the constant exposure to wind and sun has given him a weathered look, making him appear exceptionally old.
She said softly, "Dad, you're not old at all. Besides herding sheep, you can do many other things."
Fu Shen quickly chimed in, "Yes, Dad, the college entrance exam, which had been suspended for ten years, has now been reinstated. If we leave here, are we afraid we won't find work?"
Su Shizhong looked surprised and blurted out, "I have to leave here? How can that be?"
Fu Shen: "We definitely have to leave. Yueyue and I came here this time not only to confirm if it is you, but also to take you with us when we leave this place."
Su Shizhong paused slightly. He had long been accustomed to living here and really didn't want to leave.
Su Yue glanced at her father, and how could she not understand what he was thinking? It seemed that it was time to tell him everything.
"Dad, let's eat first. After we finish eating, I have something important to tell you."
She thought to herself, "Once I tell him everything, I don't believe he'll still be reluctant to leave."
In his past life, after he learned that he had been tricked and killed by Jiang Huaidong, he still came back, and judging from his appearance at that time, his memories should have returned.
Su Shizhong asked in confusion, "What is it? Can't I tell you now?"
Su Yue gently shook her head: "It's a long story, and the food will be cold by the time I finish."
Su Shizhong looked at the food on the table, which had already lost its heat, and nodded silently.
After the meal, Su Shizhong dragged the hot water from the pot into the room and carefully wiped his body and washed his feet.
Su Yue and Fu Shen gently closed the door, and the family entered the space to give Ping An a bath.
I told Ping An that he wouldn't take a bath tonight, but the little guy absolutely refused. One minute he was frowning and saying that there were bugs biting his back, and the next he was pitifully saying that his legs were itchy.
Su Yue examined him carefully and found that his skin was a bit dry, so she applied some moisturizing oil to him. After the itching stopped, he still insisted on washing, so she had no choice but to agree.
Su Yue and Fu Shen waited until Ping An fell into a deep sleep before quietly going to the opposite room to find Su Shizhong.
The room was filled with a warm atmosphere on the heated kang bed. Su Shizhong sat on the edge of the kang, while Su Yue and Fu Shen sat on stools beside him.
Su Shizhong stared intently at Su Yue and spoke first: "What were you going to say during dinner?"
Su Yue felt a little disappointed when she didn't hear Su Shizhong call her "Yueyue" as affectionately as before, but she could understand it, since her father had no memory of her.
Thinking of this, Su Yue began to slowly recount her story from the moment Su Shizhong returned from military service.
"Not long after you returned from your military service, it rained heavily for three consecutive days. A child in the village slipped and fell into the river while crossing a bridge on his way home from school. Without hesitation, you jumped in to save him. After rescuing him, you were swept away by the raging river. The villagers rushed downstream to search for you but couldn't find you. Everyone thought you were gone. The parents of the rescued child verbally agreed that their son would marry me when he grew up. That's how my marriage was arranged."
"Ten years later, that person passed the entrance exam for military academy and was assigned a unit. The day he returned, he was with..."
At this point, she looked at Fu Shen beside her, "She came back with your son-in-law."
Su Shizhong looked the two of them up and down, his face full of doubt: "What's going on?"
