Chapter 372 Temporarily
From south to north, the car windows are closed tighter and tighter.
The train clanked and rumbled, and after a journey of two days and two nights, it arrived in Ze County at noon. After a short stop, it continued to travel further north.
After getting off the bus, the two trustees asked for directions directly to the steel plant, but they were still a little late despite their haste as it was lunch time.
I could only go to eat first and then find a guesthouse to rest, and then wait for people near the factory gate before the afternoon work start.
Zhao Sheng rode his bicycle from Lihua Alley to the factory to work. Before he reached the gate, he saw two familiar faces under a tree on the roadside outside the factory from a distance.
The other party seemed to have seen him as well, and gestured to him, avoiding the crowd, and went to an alley with fewer people, one after the other.
Zhao Sheng pushed his bicycle, set up the tripod, and asked directly why they came. "What are you two doing here this time? Didn't we say that we would stop here?"
"Comrade Zhao, we are here to hand over a letter to you. Please take a look first." The trustee with glasses took out the letter from the bag.
Thinking that he still had to go to work and didn't have much time to waste, Zhao Sheng took it directly, opened the envelope and found a photo and a page of letter inside.
In the yard outside the garden house sat an old lady with an extraordinary demeanor, with a middle-aged couple beside her.
But in a moment, the blank picture in Zhao Sheng's memory was filled.
Looking at the back, there is a line of small words.
I hope my son Zhong Jiasheng and his family can reunite and live together with four generations.
October 28, 1976.
When Zhao Sheng saw the name above, his pupils shrank slightly. The sudden sunlight made his eyes bright and dark, and the strength of his hand holding the photo increased.
Then he turned to the front and took another look.
After slowly putting the envelope back, Zhao Sheng unfolded the letter and read it quickly and carefully.
Gain Capital;
It’s nice to be in person.
I was so happy to receive your letter, as if we were meeting again. Your mother and I looked at your photo over and over again.
Whenever I think of the hardships you have gone through in the past, your mother and I feel heartbroken and cannot sleep at night.
The situation is against us and our identities are limited, so it is difficult for your mother and I to go to the north to meet you.
Fate plays tricks on us, and words cannot express its myriad meanings.
The culprit has been punished and imprisoned, but it is still difficult to eliminate the hatred and regret in my heart.
The past is gone, powerless to change. I just hope you are willing to come to the south to meet me.
Your mother has renovated a new house for you and is looking forward to your reunion with your wife and children in the south.
Zhong Xu, the person who was mistakenly replaced, your mother and I had already dealt with you when we learned the news about you. We have each returned to our respective positions and will not interfere with each other.
I sigh in my heart and look forward to seeing you.
If you are willing to come to Nan, the trustee will inform you of the follow-up preparations. If you are not willing, your mother and I will respect your choice.
I hope you are well.
The sea and sky are in sight, and I am reluctant to leave.
His father, Zhong Bangyou, and his mother, Yang Ying, miss him very much.
November 29
The letter was not long, and Zhao Sheng quickly finished reading it. He put it back into the envelope, raised his eyes and said calmly, "It's working hours now, so I don't have time to talk to you in detail. Which guesthouse are you staying in? Let's talk after get off work."
The tall trustee said the name of the guesthouse and the room number, then turned around and walked out of the alley with his companions.
After sitting on the train for dozens of hours, I got off the train and immediately looked for someone to wait for, so I just went back to rest for a while.
Zhao Sheng looked fine, and just like any other day, he drove out of the city with the transport team and went to the mining area to wait for loading.
He found a secluded place, lit a cigarette, took two deep puffs, and after a while he exhaled a drifting smoke ring.
If the person who came looking for him had appeared a few years ago or even earlier, Zhao Sheng might have felt fortunate.
But now, apart from the ripples caused by shock at the beginning, there are not many extra emotions left.
However, he approved of the actions of the Zhong couple.
It hits the point directly without any hesitation and the results are quite fruitful.
It wouldn't be appropriate for him to suffer for others for so many days while others can live a free and easy life.
I only went to the mining area once in the afternoon, so I had plenty of time, so I went to the guesthouse to find the trustee and find out the whole story.
The tall trustee emphasized the most important thing, "This time the client needs to collect your hair and send it to the south for a paternity test, and then the south will submit an application for direct family visit to the exit and entry management department in the north."
“It takes three months to six months to complete the process.”
......
Pear Blossom Alley.
Because of something that delayed him for some time, it was already dark when he got home. Zhao Sheng was eating dinner while Lin Yiyi was accompanying him, helping the man pick up dishes with chopsticks from time to time.
"Eat more, you seem to have lost weight."
"Getting a promotion and a raise are good things, but you also need to pay more attention to your health, because your health is the foundation of everything."
The dim light from the kerosene lamp made Lin Yiyi's facial features look even more gentle and delicate. Listening to her soft voice expressing her concern for him, the depression between Zhao Sheng's brows disappeared completely.
After dinner, it was already late at night.
Outside the window, a wind as sharp as a sword was blowing, and the chilly sound was particularly frightening.
The couple lay on the bed. Zhao Sheng hugged her tightly and kissed her out of habit. Lin Yiyi found a comfortable sleeping position and fell asleep in the man's arms.
...
No one could know what Zhao Sheng was thinking. There was a flickering light in his deep eyes, filled with greed and selfishness.
If it repeats, it can only be digested slowly.
He felt a little greedy, but couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he kept thinking it over and over again.
The dispute lasted until dawn, but it was still undecided.
