Chapter 14 Another Kind of Luck

There are indeed too many things that cannot be said about Tong Tong’s life experience. Teacher Meng can’t sleep well when he thinks of this. Therefore, being too persistent is not a good thing.

Niu Changqing still retained the "Gangcheng Evening News" in 1995, which was published on it. Lao Niu said that in that era, the "Gangcheng Evening News" was the most authoritative news media in Hong Kong, and the circulation was huge. If parents really wanted to find their children, they would either flip through the newspaper directly or go to the newspaper to publish the missing person notice in person. However, Tong Tong's missing person notice was published for several days, but no one was interested in it, which means that he was indeed a child that no one wanted.

"When I first met him, he might not be three years old and could not even tell his name. When asked what his name was, he said he was 'Tongtong', and he didn't know which words it was. The family also had a surname of "Tong". Grandma Tong said that this is fate, and she would adopt this child no matter what. When he found him, it was just over Children's Day, so Grandma Tong called him 'Tongtong' directly. In fact, we can all see that Grandma Tong adopted him with selfish intentions, because her son was a sick man and his family was so poor that he probably wouldn't get married in this life. Even if he got married, she wouldn't have children. So she adopted Tong Tong, and she adopted someone who would give her and her son a care for her and her son. When we logged in and filed Tong's information, they were still unhappy. Tong Tong probably knew their purpose, but he was quite simple. Since Grandma Tong raised him, he was full of gratitude to others."

"No matter what their purpose is, at least Tong Tong grew up healthy in the Tong family. Tong Tong should thank them." Teacher Meng nodded and said, "Is there any possibility that what if Tong Tong's family dies?"

"We have considered this possibility, but if it is true, it will be even more impossible to find it."

"Well, Officer Niu, is it possible that his parents died in an accident? Have you ever checked those who died in an accident during that period?"

Niu Guiqing was slightly surprised. Most girls would not think of this level, but Teacher Meng thought of it without any effort. He was surprised and said with regret: "I just started working, and I didn't have much power or ability to solve cases. I investigated my colleagues for a while and visited neighbors and neighbors, but there was no result... Our grassroots police officers have a lot of work and it is impossible to focus all their energy on this case."

"Well, I understand and admire you very much. There was no monitoring at that time, so it would be difficult to investigate."

That was the last weekend before the New Year. Teacher Meng went to the police station to find Officer Niu. Niu Changqing treated her politely and told her about Tong Tong. There were many children like Tong Tong who came from unknown origins in the port city, but not many people who were as lucky as Tong Tong. Although more than ten years have passed, and perhaps his parents have given up, the people around him are still searching tirelessly.

Niu Changqing admired Teacher Meng from the bottom of his heart and told her a lot of topics related to Tong Tong, especially Tong's adoptive father, "Hey, you may not have met Tong Guisheng. He is about forty years old this year, right? He is as old as someone who is almost sixty years old. When he was a child, he said that he could not support him, and when he grew up, he was a sick man. He had no money and no appearance, but he really found a wife and gave birth to a son. It is said that his wife came out from a mountainous area to work. Tong Guisheng tricked her into having a house in Hong Kong City, so he tricked her into it. As a result, although the girl was poor, she even disliked the Tong family even more. When her son was one year old, she secretly took her son away. This incident had a big blow to the Tong family, especially Grandma Tong, who was so angry that she was hospitalized."

"After Tong Guisheng had his own son, how did Grandma Tong treat Tong Tong?"

"Well, it's pretty good. That's also something that makes the old man admire. Although he has a grandson, he still loves the grandson he picked up. She tells everyone that it's all good luck brought by Tong Tong, and doing good deeds will still be rewarded." Niu Changqing lowered his voice and said, "But the neighbors all say that the child is not Tong Guisheng's at all, and he is also raising a son for others. Grandma Tong probably knows it, but she doesn't say anything."

"It's really not easy for the old man, kind and patient."

Teacher Meng breathed a sigh of relief, Niu Changqing saw it all, so strange! This female teacher is a goddess. No matter what profession she is in, she will definitely not lack suitors. Tong Tong is just a very ordinary, even a little down-and-out high school student. How could she care about him so much?

Niu Changqing didn’t ask, and Teacher Meng didn’t explain, but both of them were very aligned and had a similar mind in some aspects. After several contacts, Teacher Meng trusted this police officer Niu very much, and she also shared all the information she found with him: “I heard that when Grandma Tong picked him up, he was wearing a kindergarten uniform. Police officer Niu, think about it, there were uniforms in kindergartens in that era, and in addition to expensive private kindergartens, they were famous public kindergartens. We can start with his clothes and ask each kindergarten.”

Officer Niu instantly stared at his eyes like a bronze bell: "Teacher Meng, this is really not because we are inaction. Not to mention the whole country, there are hundreds of kindergartens in Hong Kong City. Where can I check it with just one piece of clothing?"

Teacher Meng smiled: "Tong Tong is very standard in Mandarin and is very likely from a big northern city, so I first checked out the kindergarten in Beijing. There were very few private kindergartens in that era, and the kindergartens established after 1995 were not considered. This could filter out a lot of them. I first screened out several kindergartens with a long history, found the email address online, and sent them an email to inquire--Around June 1st, 1995, was there a little boy named 'tongtong' transferred to school? Or did he not go to school for no reason? Then, in the same way, he also sent emails to several large kindergartens in Hong Kong City. When it comes to cases of child trafficking, they should respond!"

Officer Niu's eyes turned into two copper bells: "Teacher Meng, where did you learn the ability to retrieve information? Even if you filtered a large number of them, the workload was still very large!"

"My father is a judge. He is meticulous in his work and has to check a lot of information every day. Maybe I was influenced by him!" Teacher Meng laughed at himself: "It is also possible that it is because I wasted my experience in these places that I did not get into graduate school."

"Oh, you are so ambitious, I admire the learned people."

"You have passed the award. Didn't I pass the exam? I don't know where to go now, so take a look!"

Teacher Meng said a few words of modestness and stood up to say goodbye. She specifically reminded Officer Niu not to tell Tong Tong about this. The most important thing he is to prepare for the college entrance examination now. Niu Changqing even said that he knew. As one of the people who care about Tong Tong, he also hoped that the boy could get into college smoothly.

After thinking about it carefully, Niu Changqing hadn't seen Tong Tong for a while. As the New Year approached, he specially invited Tong Tong to have a barbecue, which was located in the barbecue restaurant of Sun Chengcai's house.

Tong Tong hadn't eaten barbecue for a long time. He ordered a bunch of meat skewers without any hesitation, and he started eating voraciously. Niu Changqing felt sorry for his wallet and thought he was cute in his eating habits, so he reluctantly added ten mutton skewers and two grilled wings.

"The last time that classmate named Zhang didn't bully you again, did he?"

"No." Tong Tong shook his head and tore off a large piece of meat: "I almost forgot that person."

"That's good, take a good exam. For you, the college entrance examination is the only chance you can turn the tables."

"Yeah, I know."

Tong Tong hasn't eaten meat for a long time. He just wants to concentrate on eating meat and doesn't want to listen to the uncle's nagging. Niu Changqing was tactfully silent for a while before saying, "You have a good physique, why don't you try taking a police academy?"

"What are you doing when you take the police academy? Be a policeman like you?"

"It's so good to be a policeman, wearing police uniforms is so majestic, serving the people, having a sense of accomplishment and meaningfulness!"

"But your family life is a mess, and my aunt hasn't forgiven you until now. I don't want to be like you."

Niu Changqing was choked and couldn't speak. Tong Tong said the truth. If he hadn't worked overtime for many years, his wife would not have had a miscarriage. If the child was born safely, it would have been time to go to junior high school now. Unfortunately, they would never have their own children in their lives.

This is the pain that Lao Niu has been in his life. As soon as he thinks about it, he feels so uncomfortable. Gudong Gudong drank half a bottle of beer. Tong Tong expressed his concern at the right time: "Uncle, don't worry, I will give you a care for the elderly and see you off."

"Little bastard! I'm only forty-six! You're just thinking about sending me off!"

Tong Tong flexibly avoided Lao Niu's slap and said with a smile: "My grandma used to say that you and Aunt Hu are both rare good people. Let me respect you well and give you my filial piety to you in the future."

Alas, it’s really a simple person who can say such words. Lao Niu couldn’t be angry, so he patted Tong Tong on the shoulder: “Okay, when I get old, I can’t move on the bed. You have to serve me well!”

"Don't worry! I will also take making big money like Xiaoqing. When you get old, I will be a monetary. I will hire you the best doctor and the best nanny to serve you comfortably."

I don’t know if what he said is true or false, but Lao Niu was so happy that he coaxed him, and added ten strings of pork belly to him. He reminded him: “Don’t talk big, I don’t want your money. When your aunt and I grow old, I will be satisfied if you come back to see you often.”

Tong Tong thought he was nagging, so he ignored him and continued to concentrate on eating meat. The old cow watched him eat voraciously, and his rough gaze gradually became gentle. How great would it be if he could have such a strong son!

"Tong Tong, I sincerely advise you to try taking the police academy if you have the opportunity to take the police academy! You don't spend money to go to the police academy and you will also pay you money. Your father can't raise the tuition. Isn't that right when you go to the police academy?"

"Teacher Meng told me that when I go to the police academy, I have to check what I have to check the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. I don't even know who my biological father is, how do I check it?"

"Hey, as long as you want to go, I can find someone for you. Let me tell you, my classmates back then are amazing now. They are in Shanghai and they are the director..."

In order to prove that he was not bragging, Lao Niu also flipped out his mobile phone address book. Tong Tong didn't want to listen to him and suddenly asked, "He is the director, who are you?"

...

"Shut up your stinky mouth! Eat your meat! Don't disgust me!"

Tong Tong smiled and said, "Uncle, I have a goal, and I can find a way to pay for the tuition. Don't plan for me!"
