Chapter 34 The Hidden Secret

Tong Tong thought he would have insomnia, not because he was nervous, but because he was worried about Lao Tong. But he fell asleep shortly after lying on the sofa, and he slept very peacefully. He also had a dream, and the dream was full of Lao Tong's back, and he was as majestic as Superman.

Although the murderer is close, Tong Tong felt an unprecedented sense of security, and this sense of security was given to him by his cowardly adoptive father.

When he woke up in the morning, Lao Tong had not returned home, and he didn't answer his phone call. Tong Tong regretted that he had slept so well - not to mention that Geng Qiuyun was very dangerous, even without him, could Lao Tong's body support him to drink for a night of wine?

The person didn't come back and he didn't answer the phone. Tong Tong hurriedly put on his clothes and planned to go out to find Lao Tong. When he was nervous, he almost forgot about the college entrance examination. If something happened to Lao Tong, he would not have the heart to enter the examination room.

"I was so nervous, where are you going?"

Although he was scolded as soon as he went out, Tong Tong smiled very happily. Old Tong came back. Although he was in a bad state, he walked quite steadily and was carrying a breakfast in his hand.

He walked slowly, feeling calm, and he asked, "Did you fall asleep last night?"

"Well, although I'm worried about you, I've had a very stable sleep."

"That's good. If you keep things in your heart and can still sleep, that's when you grow up."

When Lao Tong returned safely, the whole world was full of light. Tong Tong jumped happily into the yard and surrounded him for questions. Lao Tong laughed at him as he was too nervous: "It is true that Geng Qiuyun is a murderer, but he is also a neighbor I have lived in for many years. I know his character. He just yelled loudly, but in fact he didn't have the courage to kill people at all."

"But he has indeed killed someone, aren't you afraid of him?"

While speaking, Geng Xiaoqing also stood at the door, his whole body was still tense and looked particularly nervous. Old Tong said to her: "Xiaoqing, you don't have to be too scared. Your father shouldn't be able to do anything to you."

"How do you know?"

"I told him, you can't blame Xiaoqing, you have to thank her. Anyway, you will have to be arrested sooner or later. The Wang family wants to take revenge on you. Xiaoqing lets you in, so that you can't make mistakes again and again, and the Wang family can't harm you. If you want to talk about Xiaoqing, you have been so worried about these years. If you haven't lived a comfortable life for a day, just treat it as punishment. Don't scare her anymore. Your father must have listened to it. He went out at five o'clock in the morning and said he was going to our factory for an interview to see if he could find a job."

Geng Xiaoqing's face was pale, his lips squirmed, and said, "Thank you, Uncle Tong."

"What are you thanks, you two, have dinner!"

Geng Xiaoqing was still absent-minded, and Tong Tong comforted: "There is my dad, me, and Gao Xiaobao. We will protect you these days, so don't be afraid."

Geng Xiaoqing still stirred the white rice porridge in every possible way, holding his cheek, and his face was full of melancholy. Tong Tong said, "You threw out my pencil bag yesterday, but I wasn't angry with you. You got angry."

"Fanzhun, do you think you will do better than me in the exam?"

“…”

"Didn't it mean that if you don't make a sound, you'll make a splash?"

"...No, there is something to say. Without taking a short step, you can't reach a thousand miles. You have already reached a thousand miles, and I can reach a maximum of 500 miles."

Geng Xiaoqing smiled, smiling satisfiedly. She also blinked at Tong Tong playfully: "I'm worthy of reading for a few days, and my speech is getting more and more skillful."

Tong Tong wanted her to admit her mistake, but she shouldn't have thrown out the pencil case that was "Golden List" last night, but he knew Geng Xiaoqing's temper, so he sighed and said, "You are really spoiled by me, I can't do anything to you."

Geng Xiaoqing did not refute any of this, and she hoped that Tong Tong would be admitted to Beijing and would continue to be accustomed to her. She was used to living alone, but she was not used to not having Tong Tong.

Maybe he had finished all the hardships in advance, and the college entrance examination that year went very smoothly. Lao Tong bought a copy of the "Gangcheng Evening News" and asked them to compare the answers. After estimating the score, Geng Xiaoqing became more relaxed, but Tong Tong didn't look at the answers anyway. He admitted that he was unsure and wanted to be free for a few days first.

Over the past six months, Lao Tong has witnessed his efforts with his own eyes. Even if he didn't do well in the exam, he wouldn't blame him. Not only that, Lao Tong also comforted him: "It's fine if you finish the exam, it's fine if you don't want to. It's best if you do well in the exam. If you don't do well in the exam, it's okay to repeat the exam for another year."

Tong Tong looked up at the koi hanging on the beam of the main hall, sighed secretly, thinking, if he didn't do well in the exam, he would be sorry for the fish, let alone Lao Tong.

After the college entrance examination, Tong Tong went to the hospital first. He originally wanted to take care of Niu Changqing. However, Lao Niu was very popular and did not need him, a clumsy boy, to take care of him. As the doctor said, he was rescued, but became a vegetative person.

Tong Tong thought that vegetatives were just lying on the bed and could not do anything except breathing, but when he appeared in front of Lao Niu and told him about his situation, Lao Niu would actually smile at him. Obviously, he still has memories.

It would be fine if he didn't laugh, but he almost made Tong Tong cry with a smile. Tong Tong held his hand and tried to smile at him: "Aunt Hu is pregnant. People say that you two have accumulated virtue and do good deeds before you hope that this child will come. Whether it is a little brother or a little sister, I will definitely protect him. However, you have to get well as soon as possible, and no one can replace his father... I have the most experience of this."

Niu Changqing blinked, as if he understood what Tong Tong said, and seemed to have a lot of things to say to him.

For the sake of the old cow on the hospital bed and the baby in the womb, Hu Wenjuan finally accepted the compensation and reached a settlement with the perpetrator. No one blamed her. On the contrary, everyone said that she did the right thing. Tong Tong also supported her decision. It was said that the perpetrator was seriously injured and had to pay a large amount of money, which was worthy of the crime.

But after coming out of the hospital, he remembered what Teacher Meng said. Could the perpetrator commit the crime premeditated?

It's hard to say that the perpetrator has returned to his hometown to recuperate, and Tong Tong can't find him. He wanted to talk to Teacher Meng, but unexpectedly, Teacher Meng actually went to Japan.

She said that this was an annual family trip. She didn't want to go, but she couldn't resist her mother, so she had to go with her. Anyway, from the next semester, she would no longer teach at No. 15 Middle School and would not need to participate in training or anything else. Other colleagues said sourly that it's good to have money at home, and do whatever you want. Being willful and you can even not even have work.

Before getting on the plane, Teacher Meng sent him a message: "Tong Tong, there is a cardboard box under the table in my office, which contains some books I usually read. You can move them home! Don't just think about playing after the college entrance examination, and study more at home."

"Well..." Tong Tong replied depressedly: "Do you care about other students so much?"

“…”

"I mean, to others, have you also put together a box of books to let them enrich themselves during the holidays?"

"Tong Tong, the teacher thinks you are a charming talent and urges you to study. He also has other ways of caring about other students and teachers. It is said that teaching according to his aptitude!"

After the college entrance examination, she still spoke so easily and did not give up. Tong Tong did not give up and continued to send her a message: "Teacher, didn't you say that when I finished the exam, do you have a lot to say to me?"

There was suddenly no reply on the other end of the phone. Tong Tong was about to get crazy, so Teacher Meng sent a message "slowly": "You read the book first, and then talk about it when I go back."

She made this happen again! Tong Tong didn't want to continue to do this with her, so he asked regardless of the situation: "It has something to do with my life experience?"

It took a long time before the message was sent: "That's right... Tong Tong, I'm really inconvenient to say it, wait for me to go back."

Perhaps he felt that this was too stiff, so Teacher Meng sent another one: "Obe obedient."

A word of "obedient" made Tong Tong become a little white rabbit in an instant.

But he couldn't figure it out, could he be a prince in trouble? His life experience cannot be mentioned easily?

The sun shone on the ground through the gaps between the leaves. Tong Tong walked around with his cell phone. Why didn’t Teacher Meng explain it clearly to him before leaving for such a major matter?

Or maybe Teacher Meng has no chance to make it clear at all?

Who knows, anyway, you will know when she comes back from Japan.

He thought about this, but could not suppress his curiosity. On the way home, he sent a lot of messages to Teacher Meng - what is my parents' name? Where are they living? What kind of people are they?... Are they still alive?

But without waiting for the reply to this information, Tong Tong grabbed his hair irritably. But then he thought that Teacher Meng was not a person who deliberately whets his appetite. If she doesn't reply, it will definitely be inconvenient to reply.

There is nothing else but waiting. When Tong Tong got home, Geng Xiaoqing had already gone to a restaurant to work, and she had to continue saving tuition. She envied Tong Tong because Old Tong saved him enough tuition, so he had no worries. In the past two days, she also joked every day: "Uncle, Tong Tong changed his words and called you dad, are you very happy?"

Lao Tong laughed at her poor mouth, but she was actually very happy. Tong Tong thought to himself that after 15 or 16 years of being together, he had just gotten close to Lao Tong. If he found his biological parents, how sad would Lao Tong be?

That day I ate pork ribs for dinner, and it was rare for the family to eat meat, but Tong Tong couldn't eat it. Lao Tong told him about the factory. He said that the boss would expand the scale recently and bring in the capital of a Japanese shipyard, and he wanted to build China's largest shipbuilding base.

Old Tong handed the rice bowl to Tong Tong and sighed: "The big boss is capable. The factory I am in produces parts. I heard that there are six or seven such large factories. From accessories to assembly, they can build ships by themselves. The boss of our factory only has several houses. How rich do you think the big boss must be?"

Tong Tong didn't answer the conversation, and Lao Tong said again: "I heard that the boss used to study mechanicals. If you ask me, you can learn too! Even if you can't be a boss, you have a skill and can support yourself in the future. There is an engineer in our factory. Last time I went to the warehouse to ask for gloves, I talked to him and he got more than 10,000 yuan a month, which is not a bonus. By the way, his daughter is with you, and this year's college entrance examination. I heard that the grades are very good. He is very kind and has no airs at all. Last time I asked him about what supplements to buy, and he said that his daughter only had a pack of pure milk, two eggs a day, and didn't eat any other nutritional supplements, and she still got the first place in the grade."

"What kind of machinery should I learn? I may not be able to get into college yet. Don't plan so much for me."

Tong Tong was full of thoughts, and echoed a few times, then remained silent again. Old Tong thought he was still worried about his grades, so he picked up a piece of rib for him and said, "Don't think about it after the exam, didn't you say it anymore. Even if you can't do well in the exam, I won't blame you. The future is long. Besides, I guessed it like this, you will definitely do well in the exam."

Tong Tong was very moved. He couldn't hide things in his heart and said truthfully: "Dad, I'm actually thinking about something else..."

"What's up?"

"What if I find my biological parents?"

Smack, Lao Tong's chopsticks fell to the ground.

Tong Tong was about to comfort him, but he said first: "Don't look for it, it's no good if you find it. Don't take things into yourself."

Take care of things...?
