Mr. Chen comforted Mrs. Chen, fearing that his wife might do something wrong due to her excessive emotional state.
"Let's ask Dr. Song, let's go ask Dr. Song..."
Before she could finish speaking, Old Mrs. Chen froze again. When she looked at Song Lan, her eyes were fixed on her, just like when they had been on Song Sanhe before.
Grandpa Chen followed Grandma Chen's gaze and was immediately dumbfounded.
Only Chen Dongxu was completely baffled, not knowing why his grandparents were getting emotional again and again.
"Yinyin, Yinyin, you see that, right? That child looks exactly like the one I saw when I first met you."
At this moment, Old Master Chen was almost certain that Song Sanhe was his bloodline, his and his wife's second son, because not only did Song Sanhe resemble his twin brothers-in-law, but Song Lan's appearance was a complete replica of his wife when she was young.
If it weren't for the fact that his wife was injured on the battlefield years ago, almost disfiguring half of her face, and that she is now quite old, it wouldn't be hard to see what she looked like when she was young.
"Grandpa, what are you saying?"
Chen Dongxu was full of surprise: "Dr. Song looks exactly like my grandma when she was young. Grandpa, are you sure you're not joking?" This was a huge revelation, and Chen Dongxu was having a hard time processing it.
First, Dr. Song's father and his grandmother's two brothers, his two maternal uncles, looked alike, and now Dr. Song looks like his grandmother... What exactly is going on?
Could it be... could it be that Dr. Song's father is his long-lost second uncle?
If that's the case, then wouldn't he be Dr. Song's cousin?
Upon realizing this, Chen Dongxu couldn't help but get excited. He muttered to himself, "No wonder! No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw Dr. Song. It turns out Dr. Song is my cousin!"
A low chuckle escaped his throat; Chen Dongxu's laugh looked somewhat foolish.
Standing outside the consultation room, Song Lan noticed that Chen Dongxu and his two grandchildren hadn't moved for a long time. She became increasingly puzzled, wondering why the old man and woman were looking at her with stunned and excited expressions.
After a moment's thought, she took a step towards the three of them. Just then, Old Mrs. Chen wiped away her tears, slapped away Old Mr. Chen's hand that was supporting her, and quickened her pace toward Song Lan, saying repeatedly, "Child, don't move, we're coming, we're coming!"
That's her precious granddaughter; she absolutely cannot allow anything to happen to her!
When Mrs. Chen slapped Mr. Chen's hand away, he was momentarily stunned. When he came to his senses, worried that his wife might fall, he hurriedly followed her.
"Does having a granddaughter mean you don't want me, your grandson, anymore?"
Chen Dongxu felt wronged and resentful. He muttered something under his breath and called out to Grandpa Chen's back, "Grandpa, Grandpa, wait for me!"
-
The consultation room.
Song Lan looked completely bewildered.
“Child, everything I’ve said is true. If you don’t believe me, we can go ask your grandma right now. Back then, when my unit was making a great relocation, I was about to give birth and could only hide in a forest with a nurse by my side to deliver the baby.”
But I couldn't stay with my child after he was born. Luckily, I met a local woman, so I entrusted my newborn to her care, leaving her a keepsake and some money for the child's future expenses.
Then I went with the nurse who was taking care of me to catch up with the main group. Before I left, I asked the woman what her name was, and she told me it was Huaihua.
Because I left in such a hurry, I didn't have time to leave my name or other specific information, I only said that my surname was He...
After the liberation of the whole country, everyone finally lived a peaceful life. I personally went to the place where I gave birth to look for Sister Huaihua, thinking of bringing the child, who is your father, back to my side. But... I searched for miles around and found no trace of her.
However, I did not give up, nor did your grandfather. Over the years, we have asked people to search for him and placed numerous missing person notices in the newspapers, but we have never been able to obtain any clues related to your father…”
As soon as Mrs. Chen entered the consultation room, she got straight to the point and explained her relationship with Song Sanhe. Mr. Chen added that Song Lan looked just like Mrs. Chen when she was young. Seeing that Song Lan didn't react for a while, Mrs. Chen's eyes welled up with tears and she couldn't help but give another explanation.
"Dr. Song, no, sister, everyone in our family knows about Second Uncle. Even though we've never met him, my eldest uncle and dad always think about him, and my grandparents talk about him a lot at home."
Grandma, in particular, was already in poor health and was always worried about my second uncle, so in recent years she had to stay in a small courtyard house outside the main compound to recuperate…
Before Chen Dongxu could continue, Song Lan spoke up: "I can't give you an answer right now regarding whether what you said is true or not." Her gaze was fixed on Old Madam Chen, and she spoke in a clear, unhurried voice:
"As for your suggestion to go to my grandmother to confirm, my suggestion is to bring it up in a couple of days. It's not that I'm disregarding your feelings and preventing you from recognizing my father, but my grandmother just had cataract surgery and needs to be emotionally stable to avoid affecting her eyes if she gets excited."
She had never heard that her father was not born to her grandmother. She only knew that her father originally had five brothers and sisters, but during the early years of fleeing from disaster, one brother and one sister died one after the other. When they settled in Shisong Village, where they now live, only her eldest uncle, Xiaoshu, and her father remained of the five brothers and sisters.
Song Lan had thought that perhaps it was because of their advanced age that her uncles and her father, along with her parents, survived the chaos of war and the lack of food and drink.
If you ask her whether she believes the two elderly people in front of her, who may be her blood relatives (her grandparents), to be honest, she believes them about 80%.
reason?
In terms of appearance, her father, Song Sanhe, didn't look like a member of the Song family at all.
He bears no resemblance to his uncles, but his uncles look like brothers.
She looks at least 40-50% like him, if not 70-80%. Also, her grandma and her uncles' families all have single eyelids, but her family all have double eyelids.
Her parents were, as were her older brothers and younger brothers.
Based on genetics, Song Lan already had the answer in her heart.
"Good boy, Grandma will listen to you. Go see your grandma again in a couple of days!"
Wiping her eyes, Old Mrs. Chen was about to say something more when she suddenly coughed. Seeing that the old lady was in pain, Song Lan got up and pressed a few acupoints on the old lady, and the coughing stopped instantly.
"Slowly adjust your breathing, yes, just like that, take it slowly..."
Song Lan spoke softly, and once the old lady Chen's breathing became smooth, she sat back in her chair and began to examine her.
Through observation, listening, questioning, and palpation, time ticked by. Grandpa Chen and his grandson Chen Dongxu were on edge, their eyes filled with anticipation as they looked at Song Lan.
"Please lie down on the bed, and I'll give you another check-up."
