Li Xianglian asked, "When will the competition be over?" She missed her eldest grandson after being with him for so long.
Song Chen returned to his room and retrieved the prop they were using for their play—a missing person notice. He then emerged from the room and replied to Li Xianglian, "They're probably still in Japan. They'll be there for two more days after the award ceremony. They'll leave for the US on the 18th and should be back before June."
It's already March, and I'll be back in two months at most.
Li Xianglian was worried, "I wonder if my child will adapt to the climate there. It's the first time he's going to such a far place without his family. I'm worried."
Lin Lu: Don’t you sleep very sweetly at night?
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Li Xianglian: "The farthest place we've ever been is here. Before this, the farthest place we've ever been was the county town. Kids these days are already traveling that far at such a young age."
Song Chen nodded, and it seemed that what he said to his mother-in-law was not on the same wavelength.
"Thanks to Lulu's foresight, I decided to bring my child to school here. Otherwise, where would he be able to see such a grand world? Also, the teacher said that the awards from this competition are highly recognized nationwide, and will be of great help to my child, whether he continues his studies or pursues a career."
Song Chen: I should marry a wife as virtuous as my daughter-in-law. I have good taste!
Lin Changchun agreed: "Yes, boys should go out more often."
Lin Lu added: "They all need it, girls need it too."
Lin Changchun: "We only have one boy in our family, where would a girl come from?"
He is also a very straightforward person.
Li Xianglian gave him a glare, then turned back and asked Lin Lu and the others with a smile, "What's the second good thing?"
What's the next good thing?
Lin Lu and Song Chen's expressions and thoughts changed constantly.
Lin Lu warned: "Mom, you have to be mentally prepared."
Li Xianglian had encountered so many things in her life that she needed to be mentally prepared for them. "What do you mean by mental preparation? What is it? Tell me quickly, it makes me really anxious."
Lin Lu stretched out his hand and asked Song Chen to take out the newspaper. Song Chen had just folded it and put it in his pocket. After taking it out, he unfolded it and handed it to Lin Lu.
Lin Lu held the paper by its two corners, facing Li Xianglian and Lin Changchun.
The old couple couldn't read, so Lin Lu pointed at the words on the notice and told them word by word: "Didn't we say before that we would put up an advertisement to look for the young man? So Song Chen and I thought of making this missing person notice first to make it easier to find him.
She pointed to the words on the thin paper and said, "This is your name—Lin Cheng.
This is the age - 38 years old.
This is a description of physical features.
Song Laosi and I hired someone to post this paper on the telephone pole. Surprisingly, someone contacted me just two days after it was posted.
He said his name was Lin Cheng, and he knew everything about our family. He looked a lot like me. Song Chen and I went to meet him twice, and I think that person is the younger brother. He wants to meet you now.
The two old men were struck by lightning. Their brains seemed to be stuck with glue after hearing what they heard. They could only see Lin Lu's mouth opening and closing, but they had no idea what she was saying. The sound was getting farther and farther away.
Lin Lu called out several times, waving his hands in front of them: "Dad, Mom."
Li Xianglian looked dazed. "I felt like I was dreaming just now. I actually heard you say you found Xiao Cheng and that he wanted to see us?"
Song Chen: "It's not a dream, I really found the little brother. Lulu and I just had dinner with him. I was afraid you would be too excited, so I didn't tell you right away. I wanted to confirm it first. Now it's really confirmed that it's the little brother, and he also wants to meet you."
I haven't contacted the guy this week, and I know that he may be in the center of the storm over there.
The two of them called Gu Yun to ensure the young man's safety.
I don't know why this incident suddenly broke out.
But luckily the result was good.
The young man's reluctance to come out at first might have been related to the child. Perhaps the madman used the child to threaten him.
Now that the child has been taken away by Gu Yun, the young man can do whatever he wants.
Li Xianglian's tears welled up in her eyes, once again demonstrating what a vertical fall is.
It really flows straight down like a faucet.
He excitedly held Lin Lu's hand and said, "My son, is it true? Is my Xiaocheng still alive? Lulu, can you take me to see him now? Take us to see your brother."
At this moment, Li Xianglian was like a helpless child.
She never dared to expect that the assumption Lin Lu had made for her would come true; it was just a wish at best.
Now the dream has come true, and her kind, brave and sensible child is still alive.
If God really has eyes this time.
Lin Changchun is no exception. It is said that men don't shed tears easily, that's because they haven't been heartbroken yet.
He was not much calmer than Li Xianglian at the moment. His snot mixed with tears stuck to his cheeks, nose grooves, and beard, and then slowly slid down.
Song Chen quickly got him some paper, because judging from the direction, his pants might be the last to suffer.
Song Chen felt a little relieved now. The heavy and huge guilt he had been carrying was finally lifted.
Song Chen: "We have an appointment to meet tomorrow. My brother is in Kyoto now. Mom and Dad, you can wait patiently for one night. Give him a call now and talk to him, okay?"
Li Xianglian was full of questions: "It's really too late now. Will calling him now disturb him? He's in Kyoto? Where are we meeting tomorrow?"
She really has complicated feelings about these two places in Kyoto.
Fortunately, this time it was finally a good thing.
My son is still alive!
Lin Lu: "In the house arranged by the young man. I'll send him a text message first to see if he has time to call now."
It's been two minutes since I sent the text message and still no reply.
Li Xianglian's whole body began to tremble, and her teeth chattered involuntarily. It all seemed as unreal as a dream.
"Lulu, tell me how your brother is doing now? Is he thin or fat, tall or short? Is he married? Does he have children?"
Lin Lu and Song Chen exchanged a glance and gestured with their hands: "Brother is about the same height as Song Chen, and very thin. I don't know whether he is married or not. We'll know when we meet tomorrow."
When Li Xianglian heard her daughter say that her son was very thin, she guessed that he must have suffered a lot in the past few years.
Otherwise, how could a grown man in his prime be so thin?
"Beep, beep, beep"
The cell phone rang, it was the young man's number.
The old couple watched her press the connect and speaker buttons while holding their breath.
"Lulu, are your parents around? I have time now."
Lin Lu's nose was astringent. "Yes, I've turned on the loudspeaker. They can hear it now."
Time stood still in the air for a moment.
"Mom and Dad, how have you been these years?" Lin Cheng spoke first.
