"Zhang Qian, you..." Zhang Hailong certainly didn't expect that Zhang Qian would discover the hidden compartment in the drawer so neatly. Just as he was about to speak, the photo album in his hand was snatched back by him!
Zhang Qian turned to the last page of the photo album and stared intently at the black and white photo of the baby. Sure enough, the baby in the photo also had the same golden lock hanging on it! And at this moment, his whole body
The person's whole body trembled, his face suddenly turned pale, and even his head felt like he wanted to faint immediately!
Zhang Qian finally remembered, and why he felt that this baby photo was so familiar, as if he had seen it before! It was not because his father Zhang Hailong said that he had seen it before when he was a child, but not long ago, in
In the park opposite the orphanage, in the wallet he found!
The photo in that wallet is almost exactly the same as this one! And the owner of that wallet is Zhang Guangsheng, the executive vice governor of Jiangnan Province!
"Dad..." Zhang Qian turned his head fiercely, and couldn't help but said in confusion, "Why would anyone else have this photo I've seen before? Is the baby in this really me?"
When Zhang Hailong heard Zhang Qian's words, he suddenly trembled nervously. He turned to look at his wife Qin Suzhen in shock, and his face instantly turned pale. At this time, there was a trace of fear in Zhang Lin's beautiful eyes next to him.
She blurted out almost instantly, "No, Zhang Qian, this photo... this photo is not of you, it is of another baby, it is my father..."
"Zhang Lin! That's enough, don't talk!" Before Zhang Lin could finish speaking, Zhang Hailong glared at her to stop her words. At this time, Zhang Hailong sighed longly, and the pain in his eyes became more and more intense.
The feeling became stronger and stronger, and he finally spoke after half a minute, "Zhang Qian, there are some things... It's time for you to know..."
"No! Dad, stop talking. Isn't it good for us to move? We are about to live in a new home and live a happy life. Why are we still holding on to those things? Dad! Stop talking, let's pack up and go to the new home.
Let's take a look!!" Zhang Lin couldn't help but speak again, her voice was already trembling, as if something beloved was about to be lost, and she kept refusing.
Zhang Hailong was unmoved and sighed lightly, "Sooner or later, the truth about this matter will always come out... I didn't tell it before because it was not that time, but now, the time has come...
Zhang Qian has his own ideas, and we should and have the obligation to explain this matter clearly! Over the years, the guilt in my heart has been torturing myself, and it is really unbearable. If I still don’t say it at this time,
Then I will look down on myself!"
"Linlin, your dad is right... I support your dad's decision." Qin Suzhen said with red eyes, "Zhang Qian has the right to know some things, so we shouldn't hide them. Now that we have clues,
There is no need to hide it anymore..."
Zhang Lin burst into tears with a cry. With tears streaming down her face, she looked at the confused Zhang Qian for the last time, turned around and ran out of her parents' bedroom, threw herself on the sofa and cried uncontrollably...
"Dad, Mom, what is going on... why does it seem so serious?" Zhang Qian's face revealed an ominous premonition and expression. He forced a smile and said, "If you don't want to tell me about this photo,
As for its origin, I won’t ask. I’m sure that the baby in this photo is not me, otherwise...it’s impossible for anyone else to have this photo..."
"No! The baby in this photo is you, Zhang Qian!" Zhang Hailong strode up to Zhang Qian, and suddenly said with tears streaming down his face, "Zhang Qian, don't hate your mother and me for hiding such a secret.
It’s a big secret. But you have to believe that we do this out of love for you, and we definitely don’t mean to influence you!”
"Dad, don't be like this. If you have anything to say, please tell me. What are you doing? Don't get excited. You can't get excited because of your illness, or you'll have to cough again." Zhang Qian had never seen his father in such pain and sadness before, and he was frightened.
He hurriedly held his father Zhang Hailong's arm, brought him to the bedside, sat down, and said softly, "What on earth is going on? Just tell me, dad, and I will listen."
Zhang Hailong's mood seemed to have calmed down a little at this time. After he collected his thoughts, he said slowly, "Back then, I went to the countryside to become an educated youth. After I joined the supply and marketing cooperative, I met your mother, a farmer, and we fell in love very quickly.
Together. But at that time, the status discrimination between urban and rural areas was very serious. A well-educated urbanite like me had to marry a rural registered permanent resident who had barely even graduated from primary school in the countryside. A woman from a poor family was not only discriminated against by several people in the family.
My sister’s objection was not understood by the world. But because your grandfather had no objection, we got married smoothly. At that time, since I was the only son in the Zhang family, your grandfather’s only request was that he wanted to
Embrace your grandson and continue the family lineage."
Hearing this, Zhang Qian didn't find anything strange at all. He nodded and waited for Zhang Hailong to continue.
"Later, your mother and I got pregnant soon after we got married. At that time, our family's conditions were pretty good, and I became a junior director. As a result, my friends' families gradually accepted our union. You
Mom gave birth ten months later, but to my surprise, she gave birth to a daughter, Zhang Lin." Zhang Hailong sighed, "Actually, I am not a person who has serious contempt for girls, but I am not a person who has serious contempt for girls.
The problem is that I am the only one in the old Zhang family. In order to prevent your grandfather from being sad, I have to give birth to a son. So your mother and I decided to have another son. Even if it means a fine, we have to give birth to another son.
!But...who knew that your mother would get a serious illness later and completely lose the ability to have children!"
Hearing his father Zhang Hailong say this, Zhang Qian was stunned as if struck by lightning, and said blankly, "Then, how did I..."
"Listen to me, Zhang Qian, today I will tell you all the things that are hidden in my heart!" Zhang Hailong interrupted Zhang Qian's question with a wave of his hand, and continued to speak without hesitation, "Your mother has lost her fertility.
Ability, I almost feel despair. Your grandfather's only hope of continuing the family line has not been fulfilled. I am tantamount to being an unfilial son! As the ancients said, there are three unfilial piety, no descendants are the most serious. I, Zhang Hailong, cannot be sorry to my ancestors or your grandfather no matter what!
So...me, your mother and I decided to go to the orphanage and find an orphan to bring back and raise as a son..."
Zhang Qian's face quickly turned pale, and his whole person fell into a painful silence.
Zhang Hailong knew that this incident would be a huge blow to Zhang Qian, but he still gritted his teeth and continued, "Because your mother and I were afraid that others would know that we were going to adopt a son, we deliberately used many excuses to secretly go to the orphanage.
.But when we went to the orphanage to inquire about it, we found out that we were not qualified to raise a child at all... Your mother and I were not old enough at that time, and we had a daughter. What's more, even if these conditions didn't matter, the only thing the orphanage didn't have at that time was
The disabled but healthy orphan was already ten years old, and there was no way he could recognize us as his real parents, so we had no choice but to give up. Helpless, we decided to go to the orphanage in Pinghai City to try our luck again the next day.
It was already very late, so we planned to find a hotel to stay first. But when we walked to the park opposite the orphanage, we unexpectedly found that there seemed to be a noise in the trash can. When we opened it, we saw a baby crying there. It seemed that
I have been crying for some time, and my voice is already weak..."
"Zhang Qian... that baby is you!" Qin Suzhen took the words and told the truth firmly, choking up and saying, "We were so happy to find you at that time. We always felt that you were given to us by God.
I picked you up without hesitation at all. You were crying so much that you had no energy left, so I knew you must be starving, so I hurried to the hotel and asked your dad to go out and find some milk powder to soak in for you to drink. At that time
Ah, seeing you slurping milk powder makes me so happy. I will never forget this scene in my life!"
Zhang Qian felt a little dizzy and his body felt a little heavy. This truth was too exciting for him, and it was too unexpected. He was not the child of Zhang Hailong and Qin Suzhen! When he thought of that day
In that scene where Deputy Governor Zhang Guangsheng was looking for the lost child, he suddenly felt like he had a sudden realization...
"After you drank the milk powder and went to sleep, I looked through your swaddle. There was only a gold lock, a black and white photo, and a small note. The small note didn't say anything, just wrote a crooked "
The character Zhang. I guess your biological mother must have written this character in desperation and threw you into the trash can. The character Zhang probably represents your surname Zhang. And my surname also happens to be Zhang, so I
I’ll name you Zhang Qian.” After Zhang Hailong said this, he glanced at Zhang Qian and said with emotion, “In fact, over the years, I have always wanted to help you find your biological parents. I know that if they are still alive, they will definitely
I will look for you near the orphanage, so I asked you to be a volunteer at the orphanage and let you try your luck there to see if you can really find your lost biological parents. But there has been no news for so many years.
The thought gradually faded away, thinking that something big had really happened to your parents, so I felt that there was no need to reveal this secret to you. But now you have met someone with the same photo, which is enough to prove your
Your biological parents are not dead, so I have to tell you this and let you find your parents!"
After Zhang Hailong said this, Zhang Qian still sat there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking. Such a drastic change was really a big blow to him, and it took time to digest it.
"Zhang Qian...you just said that you have met the person with this photo. Who is that person? Do you know his origin?" Qin Suzhen asked with some concern, "It is very likely that he is looking for you.
These are your parents, how old are they approximately? Is he a boy or a girl?"
