Liu Bao carefully observed Tan Xiangchen for a long time, and secretly felt that the grandfather in front of him was a good person.
So he mustered up his courage, walked up to Tan Xiangchen and said, "Grandpa, we want to go home."
He paused, then continued, "But we have to get our bags back. Only in this way can we leave here and get in touch with the outside world."
When Tan Xiangchen heard this, he became excited instantly. He held Liubao's hand tightly and said, "Okay, Grandpa will definitely help you. You are my grandchildren!"
Dabao and Liubao looked at Tan Xiangchen with confusion. Dabao couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, are you our grandpa? But we always thought that grandpa had passed away."
A trace of sadness flashed in Tan Xiangchen's eyes, and he slowly said: "I am your grandfather, and Tan Zhengchu is my son."
Dabao widened his eyes and asked in disbelief: "Grandpa, are you really still alive?"
Tan Xiangchen sighed and said, "A fire destroyed my original life. Although I was alive these years, I felt like I was dead."
Liu Bao felt distressed when he heard this. He held Tan Xiangchen's hand and said seriously, "Grandpa, when we go back, we will take you with us. Our whole family misses you very much."
Tan Xiangchen's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he asked, "What about your grandma? How is she doing now?"
Dabao quickly replied: "Grandma is doing well. If she knew you were still alive, she would definitely be very happy."
After hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed in Tan Xiangchen's eyes.
Seeing this, Dabao and Liubao hurried forward to comfort Tan Xiangchen. They each took one of Tan Xiangchen's hands and said, "Grandpa, don't be sad, let's go for a walk together."
So the three of them strolled in the garden together, admiring the beautiful sunset and starry sky.
Liubao looked at the starry sky and said, "Grandpa, if my sister Qibao were here, she would definitely like this view too."
Dabao then introduced to Tan Xiangchen: "Grandpa, we have five brothers and sisters. We are septuplets."
With a proud smile on his face, he continued, "Especially Qibao, she is so cute and clever. With her, our home is lively every day."
After hearing this, Tan Xiangchen was surprised and his eyes were full of anticipation. He said, "Septuplets? This is incredible. I really want to see Qibao soon."
Liu Bao remembered his bag and asked Tan Xiangchen again: "Grandpa, can you help us get our bag back? The bag contains tools for us to save ourselves and contact the outside world."
Tan Xiangchen nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, Grandpa promises you that I will secretly take the schoolbag back from Li Yumei when I get back."
Tan Xiangchen looked up at the sky, stood up and said, "The wind is strong, let's go back."
His eyes were determined and he secretly made up his mind that this time, he would take the initiative to talk to Li Yumei and make sure to meet the demands of his grandchildren.
He thought silently in his heart that he must protect his grandchildren and never let them suffer any injustice here.
…
After driving for a whole day, Tan Zhengchu and his group finally arrived at Futian Town.
Based on the clues they had previously obtained, they determined that the car carrying Liubao and Dabao had roughly driven to this place.
Su Yingxue looked out the window. The sky gradually darkened. She was filled with worry. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Tan Zhengchu and asked softly, "Zhengchu, will our child really be here?"
Tan Zhengchu reached out and held Su Yingxue's hand, and gently comforted her: "Yingxue, don't worry, I will definitely find the children back. Believe me, they must be here."
After that, he patted his shoulder gently and said, "Lean on my shoulder and rest for a while. You must be tired from the journey."
Tan Zhengchu's eyes were bloodshot, because he hadn't slept all night and had been on the bus for a long time, he looked very tired. But his eyes were firm, he knew the love of his two sons for him, and he swore in his heart that he would find the children no matter what.
Su Yingxue looked at Tan Zhengchu with trust in her eyes. She believed in Tan Zhengchu's ability and believed that they would be able to find the child.
Tan Zhengchu looked at Su Yingxue's tired appearance and said distressedly: "Yingxue, you should rest and sleep for a while. Save your energy. We still have to continue looking for the child tomorrow."
Soon, the group arrived at the best hotel in Futian Town. This inn had been booked in advance by Lao San and others.
The innkeeper was very enthusiastic and directed the parking at the door. After the five cars were parked steadily, Tan Zhengchu got out first, walked quickly to Su Yingxue's car door, gently opened the door, and said to Su Yingxue with a smile: "Yingxue, let's get off and have dinner."
Li Yuzhu also came along. In fact, Tan Zhengchu originally didn't want her to come, worried that she would be stimulated by past grudges. But Li Yuzhu insisted on coming, and she said firmly: "I must come, I have to face the grudges of the past, and I have to protect my grandson."
Her eyes were firm as she continued, "I am willing to exchange myself for my grandson. No matter how Li Yumei tortures me, I can bear it."
Su Yingxue was filled with concern when she saw Li Yuzhu. She walked up to her and asked softly, "Auntie, how are you? You must have had a hard time on this journey, right?"
Li Yuzhu smiled faintly and replied: "I'm fine, don't treat me like an old man, I'm still strong."
Su Yingxue quickly explained: "Auntie, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried about your health."
After hearing this, Li Yuzhu reached out and held Su Yingxue's hand tightly, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, Yingxue."
Tan Zhengchu felt relieved to see that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had improved.
Tan Zhengfan was still a little worried about Li Yuzhu's condition. He walked to Tan Zhengchu and asked in a low voice: "Brother, will mom have a relapse?"
Tan Zhengchu patted Tan Zhengfan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Lin Quan and a psychiatrist are with us. If Mom gets sick, they will treat her in time."
Then, the group walked into the restaurant.
The table was filled with local specialties. Although the dishes were not rich, they were things they could not normally eat in the city.
Everyone sat together and started to enjoy dinner to recharge their energy for tomorrow's search.
