Upon hearing this, Song Qinghui seemed to understand, yet remained confused, as Chen Changzheng continued, "The story goes like this, years ago..."
He truthfully recounted how Old Mrs. Chen gave birth to a son many years ago during a march, and how, due to the urgent march and the need to catch up with the troops, she had to entrust the son to a fellow villager for care.
"So...my grandmother was actually my father's adoptive mother?"
Song Qinghui asked.
Chen Changzheng nodded.
Song Qinghui's gaze shifted to Old Master Chen and Mrs. Chen Lai. Seeing the two elderly people nodding in agreement, he felt a mix of emotions.
For over twenty years, he had believed himself to be a descendant of farmers, but now he was being told... he was also considered a child of a high-ranking official.
Not only are there grandparents of high status, but also uncles of unusual status. To be honest, it's like a dream.
"Brother Qinghui, I think my older brother probably didn't tell you the other good news."
Chen Dongxu put his arm around Song Qinghui's shoulder and said to him, "My second uncle and aunt are coming to Beijing today, and you'll be able to meet them tonight."
In addition, Lanlan's younger sister has been staying in Beijing recently due to work requirements.
"Are your parents in Beijing now?"
Chen Dongxu looked excited. Seeing Chen Dongxu nod, he hurriedly asked, "Did they go to the Qin family?"
Since he didn't see his parents at the Qin family home, Song Qinghui could only assume that his parents had gone to his sister's and brother-in-law's house.
"Um."
Chen Dongxu nodded and then said, "Second Uncle promised Grandpa and Grandma that he would return to the compound before the New Year's Eve dinner tonight."
Song Qinghui was pleased, but he didn't forget to address Old Master Chen and the others differently.
After calling out to the elders present, he seemed to open a floodgate of conversation, chatting casually with Grandpa Chen, Grandma Chen, Chen Changzheng, Chen Changqing, and even Chen Dongxu.
Chen Changzheng's wife was helping Zhang Hua in the kitchen. Hearing the laughter that occasionally came from the living room, she casually said to Zhang Hua, "Qinghui is such a good kid, and he's very talkative. He's sure to have a bright future!"
"If you like it, sister-in-law, you can mention it to your second sister-in-law during tonight's New Year's Eve dinner, and ask her to adopt the boy in the living room for you and your eldest brother."
Anyway, my second sister-in-law has three sons. Even if one is adopted by my brother, they still have two with them. I don't think they'll be reluctant to part with them.
"Third sister-in-law, what are you saying? In my opinion, no mother would willingly give her child to someone else for adoption."
Furthermore, I have no children, but your elder brother and I don't think it's a problem.
