Finally, I heard the words "uncle" and "aunt" from them.
"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother, eighth brother, ninth brother, tenth brother, eleventh brother, twelfth brother, thirteenth brother."
The thirteen older brothers were deeply moved.
very nice.
They finally have a younger sister, so they no longer have to envy others who have younger sisters.
The once empty living room became lively with the arrival of the Si family.
Jiang Ning continued, "Grandma, uncles and aunts, and my brothers, this is my grandpa."
After saying that, Jiang Ning looked at Grandpa Jiang and said, "Grandpa, this is my maternal grandmother, these are my eight uncles and aunts, and these are my thirteen brothers!"
Madam Si hurriedly went to Grandpa Jiang's side and grasped his hand, "Grandpa Shengbao, thank you, thank you for raising our Shengbao so well."
After saying that, Madam Si looked at her children and grandchildren behind her and said, "Children, quickly bow to Grandpa Shengbao."
Si's eight maternal uncles and aunts stood at the front, while his thirteen grandchildren stood at the back. "Thank you, Grandpa Shengbao."
The scene of bowing was particularly grand.
"No need to thank me, no need to thank me." Grandpa Jiang had never seen such a grand occasion before. "Ningning is like my own granddaughter, so it's only right that I treat her well."
Madam Si continued, "Grandpa Shengbao, you saved Shengbao's life nineteen years ago. Nineteen years later, you are the great benefactor of our Si family. From now on, you will not only be Shengbao's grandfather, but also the grandfather of our thirteen grandchildren. They will take care of you and see you off in your old age together with Shengbao."
After saying that, Madam Si looked at her thirteen grandsons behind her, "Xu Dong, Xu Nan, Xu Xi, Xu Bei, Xu Shang, Xu Xia, Xu Zuo, Xu You, Xu Zhong, Xu Yang, Xu Chen, Qi Liang, Qi Ming, come quickly and call me Grandpa."
The thirteen grandsons of the Si family walked up to Grandpa Jiang at the same time and stood in a row, saying, "Hello, Grandpa!"
"Good, good, good." Seeing so many children, Grandpa Jiang was truly happy.
After the group got to know each other, they sat on the sofa and chatted.
Fortunately, the villa Jiang Ning bought was fully furnished, and the sofa in the living room was large enough; otherwise, there really wouldn't have been enough seating for more than thirty people.
Jiang Ning sat between Madam Si and Madam Shi.
The two elderly people held Jiang Ning's arms on either side, their eyes and brows full of smiles.
Madam Shi continued the previous topic, "Elder sister, and Sheng Bao's uncles and aunts, to be honest, I have always suspected that the car accident that happened to Nan Xing, Hua Chang, Sheng Bao and their family of three was not an accident, but a deliberate act! Otherwise, Sheng Bao would not have appeared in Qing City, thousands of miles away."
At this point, Madam Shi looked at Grandpa Jiang and said, "Grandpa Shengbao, now that everyone is here, could you please tell us how you discovered Shengbao back then?"
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang seemed to return to that morning nineteen years ago, and he slowly began to speak.
"Although it was springtime, the weather was still a bit cold. I got up early to herd sheep and passed by an irrigation canal when I heard a child crying. At first, I thought it was just my imagination, so I didn't pay much attention. But when I came back from herding the sheep, I heard the crying again. This time, the crying was much weaker than the one I heard at first, like a kitten meowing."
People in the mountains habitually refer to irrigation canals as water ditches.
Therefore, everyone says that Grandpa Jiang found Jiang Ning in a ditch.
But it is actually an irrigation canal.
Grandpa Jiang's voice continued.
"So, I quickly started searching along the irrigation canal. Sure enough, after a short while, I found Ningning in the canal. She was wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket and was covered in blood. When I picked her up, her voice was hoarse from crying, and only her eyes could move. Her face was as white as a sheet, and she was barely breathing. There were people working near the canal at the time, and when they saw that I had found a child, they all ran over to see what was going on. Seeing Ningning's condition, everyone said that the child wouldn't survive and advised me to abandon her. But I felt so sorry for her, so I took her home. Ningning was incredibly lucky. After we got home, I first fed her some brown sugar water and then gave her a hot bath. I was just trying my luck, but unexpectedly, the child actually came back to life."
"Not only did she come back to life, she also smiled at me with her little mouth. At that moment, I decided that I would raise this child as my own granddaughter."
The incident from nineteen years ago was brought up again.
The old lady Shi, the old lady Si, and everyone in the Si family were heartbroken and breathless. The tears they had managed to hold back welled up again.
Soaking in the irrigation canal!
He was covered in blood!
It's unimaginable how much suffering a three-month-old child must have endured to survive in such an environment and live to see Grandpa Jiang.
With red eyes, Si Huawen asked, "Uncle Jiang, when you found Shengbao in the irrigation canal, was there anyone else with Shengbao?" Si Huashang disappeared with Shi Sheng at the time.
Since Shi Sheng is in the irrigation canal, is Si Huashang also in it?
Therefore, as soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone looked at Grandpa Jiang, waiting for his answer.
"No." Grandpa Jiang shook his head slightly. "Ningning was the only one in the irrigation canal at the time."
Upon hearing this, disappointment appeared in everyone's eyes.
After saying that, Grandpa Jiang seemed to have thought of something and continued, "However, I still have the little clothes Ningning was wearing and the chain she was wearing. Do you want to take a look? Maybe we can find some clues."
