Chapter 1
Liu Rui was stunned.
At this moment, her left hand was tightly held by Jiang Qi, and her right hand was tightly held by Sister Hu. Both of them held her tightly, as if she was a thief caught stealing and they were afraid that she would run away.
In Liu Rui's memory, encountering similar situations is usually not a good thing.
She suffered severe hearing loss due to a high fever, and the orphanage could not afford the expensive cochlear implants. The orphanage also could not afford the cost of her special school, so she could only go to a regular school.
It took her almost two years to slowly learn to read lips. Because she couldn't hear, she couldn't keep up with the school's learning progress at all, and she dropped out after junior high school.
Because she can't hear she doesn't have any friends.
Because she is deaf, she is often misunderstood as having a weird personality, being rude and unsociable.
Because she can't hear, she always encounters a lot of unnecessary troubles, is often misunderstood, often can't figure out the situation, and is always disliked for speaking too loudly.
After 9 years, she has long been accustomed to this basically silent world, but it seems that this world will never get used to her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Although Liu Rui didn't understand what was going on, she still apologized loudly out of habit.
Sister Hong was still yelling at the other end of the phone: "Old Wang, don't you know where Old Man Liu lives? Just go over there and drag him over! His granddaughter is back, his granddaughter is back!"
"What's going on? How would I know what's going on? The granddaughter Xiao Jiang mentioned is back, and she's in my store right now. I've caught her. Go over and pull Old Liu over here, or he'll get too excited and turn the happy event into something bad."
After hanging up the phone, Sister Hu finally had time to say to the slightly panicked Liu Rui in a friendly manner: "Chenchen, don't get excited, your grandfather will be here soon."
Sister Hu said this to Liu Rui, and Liu Rui said puzzledly: "Chenchen."
Jiang Qi, who had organized her words, quickly explained: "Sister Hu, her name is Liu Rui now. She was probably thrown away by traffickers because she was sick, and was adopted by an orphanage. Because of the high fever, her hearing was severely damaged, and most of her previous memories were lost, so she doesn't remember her name, but she has a little impression of our area."
"She had always thought that she was abandoned by her parents, and only came here after seeing the news."
Sister Hu was so shocked that she was speechless.
"My dear." Sister Hu looked at Liu Rui and said slowly, word by word, "Chenchen, your name is not Liu Rui, your name is Chen Zichen, and you have a twin brother named Chen Ziyang. You and your brother were both born in the morning, so one is Chenxi and the other is Chaoyang. When your parents gave you these names, we sighed that you are indeed cultured people who are so particular about naming their children."
"Your father's name is Chen Si, your mother's name is Liu Xinhong, and your grandfather's name is Chen Bainian. Your parents were both high school teachers in our city, one taught physics and the other taught chemistry."
"You were not abandoned by your parents. You and your brother were abducted by those damn human traffickers."
Liu Rui, no, it should be Chen Zichen who opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Soon, the news that Old Man Liu's kidnapped granddaughter had found herself spread throughout the alley like wings.
It has been 9 years since the incident. Many people like Sister Hong and Boss Wang, who were not very familiar with the Liu family's abducted twins, have long forgotten what Chen Zichen looked like. However, there are some shop owners who were deeply impressed by Chen Zichen and remember him.
For example, the owner of the canteen, he rushed to the noodle shop almost as soon as he heard the news, and the moment he saw Chen Zichen's face, he slapped his thigh and said in annoyance: "I am really blind, the granddaughter of old man Chen was in front of me for so long last night, and I didn't recognize her."
Chen Zichen was almost 9 years old when he was abducted. Even after 9 years, anyone who is careful can recognize that he is the same child. After all, the general outline of his facial features has not changed, they have just become wider.
Soon, the entrance of the noodle shop was surrounded by a crowd of people.
Chen Zichen could not hear everyone's surprised discussions, nor could he hear people outside saying that someone had Liu Xinhong's phone number and was asking her to quickly call Liu Xinhong to come back and recognize her daughter.
She just sat in the noodle shop with a little panic, holding Sister Hu's hand tightly.
Jiang Qi and Sister Hu had let go of each other's hands long ago, but now it was Chen Zichen who was unwilling to let go.
She looked at Jiang Qi, who had caused all this, for help: "Boss Jiang, you guys couldn't have made a mistake, right?"
"I...I'm not even sure...what if I'm wrong?"
"It can't be wrong." Sister Hu comforted, "Everyone has recognized it, it can't be wrong, and the time is right."
After waiting anxiously, Boss Wang came with Old Man Chen.
Old man Chen, wearing a white Tai Chi training suit, was trembling as he was helped in by Boss Wang.
He was actually in good health, and he usually walked without any sway or trembling, and could be said to be walking very fast. But today, he walked in tremblingly like an old man in his nineties who had to use crutches to walk. If it weren't for Boss Wang holding him up, he would have fallen down in the next second.
Seeing Old Man Chen coming, the crowd gathered at the entrance of the noodle shop dispersed.
It's a warm moment for family members to reunite after a long separation, but they won't stay at the door to spoil the atmosphere.
Old man Chen walked tremblingly to Chen Zichen and looked at her face.
Chen Zichen also looked at him and felt that the white-haired old man in front of him was both strange and familiar, as if he had seen him in a dream before.
"Chenchen has grown up." Old man Chen forced a smile and grabbed Chen Zichen's hand, as if to confirm whether this was a real person. "That's great. You've grown into a big girl. You're so pretty."
Chen Zichen looked at the person in front of her, feeling neither happy nor sad, but her eyes were covered with tears and she could not see the person in front of her clearly.
She wanted to see clearly so much that she blinked and tears as big as beans fell directly from her eye sockets, one drop after another, wetting her thin black pants.
Between clarity and blur, she looked through the old man in front of her and saw a person with black hair and a similar face, but not as old and without as many wrinkles. He was holding her hand and talking to her.
"Chenchen got 100 points on the test today. That's great. Grandpa will buy you a popsicle when he gets home. Yangyang got 95 points, which is also great. He will have a popsicle too."
"Grandpa, I want to eat popsicles." Chen Zichen whispered.
Jiang Qi, Sister Hu and Boss Wang quietly left the noodle shop.
Boss Wang and Sister Hu both wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, smiling as they did so, and they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
"Xiao Jiang, thanks to you. If you hadn't asked one more question enthusiastically, Chenchen's success in finding the store would have been in vain. Old man Chen is the same. He couldn't close the store at any other time, but had to close it a few days ago." Sister Hu said.
"Why are you still blaming Old Man Chen?" Boss Wang stood up for Old Man Chen.
"I haven't even mentioned you yet, so it's fine if I didn't recognize them. You and Chen Si were so close back then, and you watched Chenchen and Yangyang grow up together. How could you not recognize such a grown-up girl hanging around in front of your store? Not only did you not recognize her, but you didn't even go up to ask if she needed help. If it weren't for Xiao Jiang, who knows what would have happened to her."
Boss Wang turned his head away with a guilty look on his face: "Can Xiao Jiang and I be the same?"
"Xiao Jiang...what a warm-hearted person."
Jiang Qi:?
"By the way, has anyone notified Chenchen's mother?"
"I've been notified. I heard that he didn't even attend class because he received a phone call. He's on his way here now."
"Chenchen's father?"
"It seems the call didn't go through, but he's out of town, so he probably won't be back until tomorrow."
"Hey, I just don't know if Yangyang can find it back by himself."
"It would be great if one could come back."
Boss Wang and Sister Hu sat in the script store and sighed for a long time, and finally said in unison: "Xiao Jiang, it's all thanks to you!"
"It should be. It should be."
At the same time, the system prompt sound suddenly sounded in Jiang Qi's mind.
"Ding, congratulations to player Jiang Qi for achieving the achievement [Enthusiastic Citizen Mr. Jiang] and obtaining the [Extra Card Drawing Ticket]."
Jiang Qi:?
Enthusiastic citizen Mr. Jiang?
