Chapter 76 Is it confirmed?
Yu Wanqing raised the phone and asked Zhou Chengye if he wanted to answer the call.
Zhou Chengye was silent for a moment, but finally took the microphone: "Hello, I'm Zhou Chengye."
When Yu Zhian and Li Xiulan heard his voice, tears welled up in their eyes. Yu Zhian quickly said, "Don't be nervous, kid. We just want to hear your voice. We will buy tickets to go to Nanfu right away."
Li Xiulan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, don't feel any pressure, we just want to hear your voice."
Zhou Chengye knew from the sound that the two were crying. He sighed in his heart: "I will be working in Nanfu County next. When you arrive, you can send a telegram to me or Yu...sister." He told them about his situation and told them how to send a telegram to him.
"Don't worry, I'm in Nanfu and I'm not going anywhere." He thought for a moment and said, "You're not in good health, so you should wait until you're better before coming back."
Li Xiulan covered her mouth and tears flowed through her fingers.
Hearing her son's caring words, she felt even worse.
She had raised that fake guy for more than 20 years and he never seemed to care about her at all. He only thought about making money from her and Lao Yu.
The feeling of guilt was overwhelming. Li Xiulan had lived up to her country and her other children throughout her life, but she felt extremely guilty towards her second son.
"Don't worry, Mom understands and will take care of herself."
The two talked for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
Yu Wanqing was dumbfounded when she saw this, she hadn't finished speaking yet.
After finding her biological second brother, she seemed to have fallen out of favor.
Zhou Chengye couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her like this: "They will send me a telegram when they arrive in Guangdong. I will have someone notify you then and we will go pick them up together."
His biological parents had come such a long way to find him, so of course he had to go to the train station to pick them up.
Yu Wanqing nodded: "Okay."
Huo Lanci watched them finish their phone call before coming over and saying, "Let's go to the state-owned hotel to eat first, and then go back to the brigade."
Yu Wanqing looked at Zhou Chengye, who nodded: "Eat first, then you go back after dinner. I'll be back in the afternoon."
During the meal, Yu Wanqing told Zhou Chengye some things at home, and Zhou Chengye and Huo Lanci listened carefully.
There are many things about the Yu family that Huo Lanci, the future son-in-law, doesn't know.
Huo Lanci rode his bike and took Yu Wanqing back to the brigade, while Zhou Chengye went to call his adoptive father.
We still need to tell them about this matter.
On the way back, Yu Wanqing said, "This second brother is completely different from that fake one."
Huo Lanci nodded: "That fake one was lucky. He was thrown on the road and eventually became the second child in your family. It's a pity that he didn't cherish it."
He has written to his friends at the farm, asking them to take good care of the faker.
After receiving the letter, my friend will surely not let me down.
"Fortunately, he didn't know how to cherish us, otherwise we might not know who our biological second brother was for the rest of our lives." Yu Wan sighed, "Sometimes a short pain is worse than a long one. Now I finally believe that everything I lose will return in another form."
"It's funny to say that if it wasn't for that fake guy who helped me sign up for the rural program, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet my second brother. Even if we knew he was a fake later, it would be difficult for us to find his whereabouts."
"This is what they call it's not yours, and you can't keep it after all." Huo Lanci wanted to say that this was karma, but thinking about the current situation, he couldn't say it.
Zhou Chengye called Zhou's uncle, Zhou Hongyu. The father and son had a very good relationship and did not beat around the bush when speaking. He directly told him about how he had found his biological parents.
The man in his 50s on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before he said, "Are you sure?"
Zhou Hongyu knew that his youngest son was a mature and stable person, and he would not tell anyone at home until the matter was clarified.
Now tell yourself that everything is certain.
But he just felt that the matter was a bit sudden. More than 20 years had passed, and the child had found his biological parents.
The child no longer belonged exclusively to their family.
Although he felt a little sad, reason prevailed and he did not show any emotion.
Zhou Chengye hummed, "There is a younger sister who is an educated youth in the village. She looks about 60% like me. She also knows that the second brother in the family is a fake, so we suspect that the other party is our blood relative."
"Dad, what makes me happiest now is that I am not a child abandoned by my parents."
Zhou Hongyu smiled when he heard this. He knew the knot in his youngest son's heart. He knew that he was picked up by his parents, so he always suspected that he was abandoned because he was not good enough. Therefore, he had been strict with himself over the years, which made him and his wife feel distressed.
Now that his son has untied his knot, Zhou Hongyu is also happy. He suddenly feels that it is not a bad thing for his child to find his biological parents: "The fact that you can still meet after more than 20 years can only prove that you are destined to be a family."
"When they arrive, your mother and I will go back to the village to see them."
In Zhou Hongyu's opinion, when the other party learned that the fake child they raised was not their biological son, they immediately went to find out the truth, and when they knew that their son was in Nanfu, they immediately bought tickets to come here. This shows that this family really cares about their biological son.
A family like this would surely not be too bad in terms of temperament and interpersonal relationships.
Zhou Chengye agreed, but worried that his parents would think too much, he quickly said, "Dad, I will always be your and mom's son."
Zhou Hongyu's eyes turned red when he heard this, but he smiled and said, "Of course you are your mother's and my child, and you will always be."
"Okay, call me after they arrive and we'll go back and take a look." Zhou Hongyu checked the time and said, "I have to go to a meeting. You should hurry back to the team. We'll have to start working after playing for two more days."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Hongyu leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.
Zhou Chengye graduated from Peking University in 1965 and was assigned back to Guangdong to work. Over the past three years, he has worked diligently in his position and has always done a good job.
It was after Zhou Hongyu learned that Chen Nianxiong was in trouble that he decided to let his younger son gain experience in the grassroots, which is why Zhou Chengye applied to return to his hometown to work.
In fact, it was Zhou Hongyu who pushed his son to find his biological parents. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of fate.
Zhou Hongyu has his own house in the brigade. Zhou Chengye thought about Yu Wanqing living in the brigade, and even if he worked in the county in the future, he would still go back to the brigade to visit her often.
So I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to prepare some daily necessities and bought rice, flour, grain and oil.
It was already six o'clock in the afternoon when Yu Wanqing woke up. She was about to go into the mountains, but she still hadn't arranged for dinner.
At this moment, Huo Lanci called out across the fence: "Wanqing, come and have dinner."
Yu Wanqing was a little surprised, and poked her head out, smiling and joking: "Ah Ci, you really are a good candidate for the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars."
Huo Lanci looked at her smiling face and said with a smile: "Hurry up, don't dawdle."
"Okay, okay, I'll come right over." Yu Wanqing closed the door while muttering, "Ah Ci, you will definitely be a housekeeper in the future."
The two had just finished dinner when Chu Ming appeared with a hunting rifle. Yu Wanqing noticed that his face was pale and looked like he was injured, so she quickly asked, "Chu Ming, what happened?"
Huo Lanci, who was squatting and washing dishes, also looked over and found that Chu Ming's face looked very bad indeed.
Did something happen in the mountains?
