——Facing Brother Ye Bei’s question, in fact, this situation has happened many times.
In the sad place of Hengyin City, Xueming had contact with more than 20 orphan families. Ye Bei would ask Xueming to come and recognize his relatives every time, but in the end nothing happened.
In fact, Jiang Xueming knew long ago that when his adoptive parents were still alive, he knew that these two people were definitely not his biological parents, but there was no evidence and no chance.
Rather than saying that the process of recognizing relatives is a kind of blood coupling reorganization, it is better to say that Xueming just wants to find a valid reason to take her sister away and leave that terrible family.
He didn't care what the names of his biological parents were, and the series of family recognition processes were as ordinary as water.
The memory before the age of four has faded to the point where it is almost impossible to distinguish clearly what he thought, saw and heard as a child.
There was only a vague shadow of a mother, which occasionally overlapped with the Jiang family's old mother in front of and behind the kitchen table, and when she was busy keeping vigil in the crib, making him mistakenly believe that she was the real biological mother.
Imagine having to contact more than 20 families and more than 30 strangers to talk about life memories and childhood experiences. These processes made Xueming feel very weird.
If it were a more cold-blooded and ruthless social person, I am afraid that he would avoid this family recognition ceremony.
Because both have their own lives, they have created different selves during the journey.
To suddenly have to overthrow all the memories of the past ten or twenty years and transform all of yourself at a dinner table or a tea party is actually very scary and difficult for people to accept.
When Xueming came into contact with these families, she felt inexplicably anxious.
He hopes that these broken families can be whole again, and he also hopes that they can take their time, because such a drastic change in reunion and such a sudden and violent combination requires children to adapt to new parents and parents to adapt to new children, bringing together two completely different people.
Their lives are forcibly merged into one family in a very short period of time, which is a kind of secondary harm to both parties.
Brother Ye Bei has always told Xueming, "take your time, it will be faster." Not only does Xueming hurt people when he strikes, and his ferocity can leave scars for a lifetime when he sees blood, but he also says that when in contact with these families, he resists the tension and inexplicable hope.
Duality.
Hengyin City shaped Xueming. Without this place, there would be no Jiang Xueming.
If the Jiang family's pair of traffickers had been more ruthless and thought Xueming was too old to be raised properly, they would have killed the child, cut his body into pieces and buried him instead of raising him up, and he wouldn't be where he is today.
If the economic level of Hengyin City was very good, he could live a good life just living and waiting for death while receiving subsistence allowances, and he would not have the cast-iron personality of a lone wolf.
If Brother Ye Bei hadn't met Xueming, he might still be working in the battery factory, or he might have drank Bailu's wedding wine, eaten a bite of Bailu's human flesh, and tasted the sweetness, just like his adoptive parents, he was about to take over their mantle.
Become another criminal.
Suffering itself is meaningless, and any unilateral violence and pain caused by violence will not do any good.
But Xueming had been boxing with these things for eighteen years, and after countless rounds, he finally achieved the fate he has today.
In this place, countless people have interacted with Xueming, some are good or bad, and most of them are ordinary people, people who are struggling like him in this troubled world.
Xueming no longer cares about her biological parents, or in other words, doesn't care about them that much.
Not so concerned about where he came from, not so concerned about where he and Bai Lu are going back.
All he can grasp is the present moment, the real world every minute and every second.
He has rehearsed similar scenarios countless times in his mind, whether he is rich or not, whether he is ugly or handsome, whether he is middle-aged or old.
If one day, his biological parents really find him.
Xueming should be able to use the fake smile technique she usually uses in business, and work very hard to arouse her emotions, crying and laughing along with her biological father and mother who love and hate each other.
Just a few days of gathering and a few days of reunion.
At most a hundred hours of tenderness, at most a hundred hours of conversation.
He only has so much time to hand over.
There is only so much emotion he can give.
Then there are still days to live, the station to go to, and my sister to take care of.
Brother Ye Bei, Xiao Qi, Meteor, BOSS.
These people are more important than his biological parents and occupy almost all of his life.
The more than ten years of searching for relatives was like an innocent and romantic unrequited love. If Xueming's biological parents found him, they might find that their son had someone else in his heart.
There are other partners who are more important, closer, and countless times stronger than blood ties.
When hearing Jiang Zhengchu’s life experience——
——Xue Ming admires this uncle very much.
The willpower required to travel for many years, the courage to deal with people with different regional dialects, the adaptability to accept changes in food, clothing, housing and transportation, and local folk customs, the ability to overcome all difficulties on the road to find relatives, learn new skills, and the judgment and concentration to plan mission routes.
Lotte and brave determination to fight wits and courage with criminals, regroup and separate from other families, but never be knocked down by life, and the vitality that can't even be heard from a complaint.
Just like Xueming, this journey shaped Uncle Jiang Zhengchu.
They are very, very similar, but a little different.
What Xueming admires the most is that in his life, Uncle Jiang Zhengchu didn’t have anyone like Brother Ye Bei to help him, but he still walked so far, walked steadily, and every step was better and smoother.
.
It is hard to imagine that this fifty-nine-year-old man still has such bright eyes, such a healthy body, such clear thinking and logic, and clear and coherent speech.
Except for the problem of smoking, there is almost no fault that can be found in Uncle Zhengchu.
It's like a sword that is constantly being wiped, ready to deal with unexpected troubles in life. After all, Uncle Zhengchu's life is an unknown adventure.
His tractor is a war horse, and his flag and banner are the iron feathers and military standards of the Hussars.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He has traveled through most of China and defeated enemies for eighteen years. He is a knight-errant in modern society.
During this journey, he loved many people, hated many people, helped many people, and owed many people's favor.
These people and things are probably much more important than my biological son whom I have known for less than four years.
Back in the communication room——
——When Xueming heard the inquiries from the two eldest brothers Ye Bei and Xingchen.
He understood immediately and told Uncle Jiang Zhengchu.
"Uncle, I am the child who was abducted and brought to Hengyin. I also have a younger sister. Are you ready? I think what eldest brother means is for me to have a parent-child relationship with you families who have lost their children, just like before.
Identification.”
At this point, Jiang Zhengchu was suddenly stunned.
He was unfamiliar with this young man and was frightened by such business-like conversations.
He also met young people looking for their parents several times in other places. Every time he reached the end of the journey, he would hesitate and be afraid.
No memory filter can forcefully match my four-year-old biological son with the stranger in front of me.
It was so before and it is so now.
What's more, Jiang Xueming and Jiang Zhengchu look nothing like each other.
There is no similarity in their facial features, eyebrows, height and weight. It is the difference between the bear tribe from the north and the werewolf tribe from the south.
Xueming's eyes are big and bright, and her delicate eyebrows make her look weak and cold, making strangers feel alienated when they see her.
Uncle Zhengchu has protruding eyebrows, deep-set eye sockets, a broad and strong frame, and a bronze complexion. As long as he smiles, strangers will think that he is a Jiaodong man who is easy to get along with.
Seeing that Uncle Zhengchu hadn't spoken for a long time, Xueming was about to give up: "If it's inconvenient..."
Uncle Zhengchu immediately said: "It's convenient...it's convenient, when will we go?"
Xueming also became anxious: "As soon as possible, I don't have much time. I'm afraid I have to leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Uncle Zhengchu nodded: "Yes, now young people have to go out to work after returning to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year. It is not easy to make money in Hengyin. Young man, do you have any other relatives at home now?"
At this time, Uncle Zhengchu showed his mature social side and wanted to ask questions about Xueming's family.
Xueming answered truthfully: "I only have one sister, and she and I were both abducted. Two traffickers became our adoptive parents and raised us. Later, when I met Brother Ye Bei, I was able to take my sister out of here. Now
Live in HK and make a living there."
"It's a good thing, it's all a good thing." Hearing Xueming's answer, Uncle Zhengchu patted his knee lightly and was very happy: "In the past ten years or so, I often saw news that criminals abducted people and took them away.
The organs and cornea were finally destroyed with hair dissolving agent. I was very scared at the time. Everywhere I went, I would guard the imported commodities market. At that time, the Japanese brand of hair dissolving agent was very easy to use. Anyone who bought a lot of it
There are a lot of things. I will ask them immediately. If they are not clear, I will call the police. If you can grow up and live with your sister to this day, it is a very good thing. You have done a good job."
Then uncle asked again: "Are you friends?"
Xueming immediately replied: "The boss has arranged a date for me. She is very nice, but she is too young. She is only 21 years old and I am only 22 years old. I think it is not the right time yet. I am not ready to be a partner."
My husband is not ready to be a parent either - especially at work. I work as a security guard on a transnational railway system, and my job is very dangerous."
Uncle Zhengchu took a deep drag on his cigarette and looked melancholy.
"I don't know the nature of your job, but you can't make enough money. There is always more and more money waiting for you to earn, but important people are rarely around. This is putting the cart before the horse."
"It's not about money, uncle." Xueming immediately explained: "It's something that must be done. My partner will also do it with me."
Hearing what Xueming said, my uncle immediately smiled: "That's good, it's a good career."
Xueming was anxious about his schedule, but also thought that his life or death during the trip to Hongxing Mountain was uncertain. If this uncle was really his father, he might not have much time to get to know each other, and not much time to get along with him.
This is another debt of flesh and blood, but it cannot be paid with money alone.
If you give your biological parents a pension and then leave hastily - this is also a kind of human flesh trade.
If not, there will always be a bitter and cold thorn in my heart.
Uncle Zhengchu seemed to notice Xueming's embarrassment and immediately started another topic: "What kind of family does your friend belong to?"
Xueming thought for a while: "A working-class family. Her father, who I call uncle now and father-in-law in the future, was a teacher when he was young. Later he took root in Shanwei and entered a foam factory."
"It's not good. I'm afraid he's not in good health." Jiang Zhengchu naturally changed the topic and stopped talking about the paternity test: "Being a teacher means eating chalk dust, and entering a foam factory means smelling the chemical pool every day. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it when I get old.
I can’t run or walk far.”
Xueming analyzed carefully: "Yes, there seems to be nothing wrong with my uncle's health, but my partner wants him to live in the city and change the environment. My uncle doesn't agree. He just wants to live in the old location and play with toys every day. It's good.
It's just...he made a spiritual tablet for himself, and he doesn't know what it means. It seems to be urging his daughter to go home and stay with him more, lest she lose sight of him one day."
In fact, Bai Zijin's father, Bai Ningguang, has always been ill.
But my daughter has a panacea, and this child king is just acting like a monster by placing his own spiritual place at home.
Jiang Zhengchu wanted to crook the building again and couldn't listen to Xueming's pessimistic and realistic assumptions.
"Is your partner good-looking?"
Thinking of Xiao Qi, Xueming started to smile: "It's very beautiful."
Seeing the young man happy, Zhengchu also felt relaxed——
——This question is not really about Qi Ge’s appearance, but about Xueming’s heart whether beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Uncle Zhengchu thought to himself - there seem to be many important people living in this young man's heart.
So I continued to ask.
"What's her personality like?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's a bit weird, and his laugh is ugly, and he looks like a bad guy."
"Then is she a bad person?"
"No, it is a lifesaver for me and my sister."
"She saved both of your lives? Did she help you both a lot?"
"Yes. When my sister was sick, she relied on her to find medicine and recommend me to my boss. He gave me a new job and a new mission."
"Then you have to make a clear distinction. Liking others is different from repaying a favor."
"I know, I understand, I understand. So I also told her to take it slow. It's faster to take it slow."
"You are so sensible..."
"I'm twenty-two years old, uncle. I should be sensible."
"Does she have you in mind? Can you recall it?"
"I don't know, I'm not sure..." Xueming didn't tell the truth here. With Brother Qi's temperament, let alone feeling it in his heart, he wished he had it in his mouth.
"Work hard and live well." Uncle Zhengchu didn't ask more questions and said: "My wife and I just couldn't live well, had no jobs, and finally lost our hearts. We only separated at this point - human beings
When you don't have the ability, you will lose a lot. If you miss it, it will be gone, and there will be no more. If you take one step astray, the rest of your life will be completely different."
Xueming asked her uncle in turn.
"Excuse me, uncle, you have been looking for a child for so many years. According to my superficial life experience, the feelings should be getting weaker and weaker. I am afraid that this son is not as good as other people in your heart. Other things - if
If you really find him, what will you do to him?"
Uncle Zhengchu laughed loudly: "How else can we just chat like you and me? I'm just looking, and I don't want to find out what happens in the future - I want to give him a lot, but I can't do it, because
He left me when he was very young."
The smile slowly stiffened and turned expressionless.
"I have saved quite a lot of money, and I wonder if I will still need the money after my baby becomes a man, because money is never too much, but I also think too much about whether my son will be angry.
Could it be that I didn’t think highly of him? Could he fall out with me because of this money, mistakenly thinking that I could pay off eighteen years of emotional debt by spending this money? I don’t dare to think about it, because I don’t know
How to deal with this matter? I can only ask step by step, step by step. If he lacks something, I will think of how to make it up."
The uncle pointed to the luggage outside the door.
"Don't look at me dressed slovenly and running outside. I can't look glamorous. I only go on the road after eating well, sleeping well, being energetic and healthy. I have never been seriously ill or seriously injured. I have never been seriously ill or seriously injured.
After all the debts are paid off, I make a ledger to record the favors - I have no place to spend the money I saved, so I prepare for getting married. I have saved more than 200,000 over the years. It should be no problem to pay a down payment in a small city.
If he becomes successful and goes to a big city, I won't be able to help him. I'm afraid he won't need my help, so I just don't cause him any trouble."
Brother Ye Bei and Brother Xingchen smoked for a long time without saying a word.
I'm afraid these two people have already understood in their hearts that Jiang Zhengchu and Jiang Xueming are of the same age, and the identities of the Xueming siblings are also similar. Maybe they only need a paternity test certificate, and the results are almost the same.
At this moment, Uncle Zhengchu suddenly stood up.
"I'm going to take a call."
Wait for uncle to leave.
Ye Bei and Xueming whispered.
"Do you think he is your father?"
Xueming shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether it is or not, I still have things to do."
Ye Bei: "Is it a big event in life?"
Xueming nodded: "Yes, it is a major event in life. I have a very good friend who is Romanian. He is going to travel to a distant place and may die - never to be seen again. We fight together, cry and laugh together.
, he has saved me more than once. He is almost my re-parent, and I am almost his re-parent."
Su Xingchen nodded: "Then we have to go - is it urgent?"
"It's very urgent." Xueming looked out the door and didn't know what to say: "We're leaving within a week. I don't know when I can come back."
Su Xingchen immediately took out a blood collection bottle from his spiritual clothes.
"You leave some blood here, we only need some blood for the identification."
"Okay..." Xueming said to Brother Xingchen while taking blood: "I feel so strange, really strange - it's like something that I have been brooding about for many, many years has suddenly come to an end.
The stone in my heart was put down. But I started to feel confused again, and I hugged another stone."
Su Xingchen is an intelligence officer with a background in criminal investigation. He has seen a lot of what Xueming said.
"This is the end of a journey. Of course, you will be confused - Uncle Zhengchu is probably the same. Do you dare to bet with me? I say that in all likelihood, he went out to answer this call to find an excuse to leave. From your
From the perspective of the conversation, it doesn’t matter at all whether you are his biological son or not. What matters is whether he will become a burden to you and become a new inner demon.
What a good thing, but it kills both journeys and turns a good thing into a bad thing."
When the blood collection bottle pierces the skin, you will immediately feel a burning pain.
The stars are like sharp steel cones, each word piercing the heart.
"Uncle Zhengchu's knight-errant story will come to an end, and when you venture to the Nine Realms Station, you will also start to be timid, and you will always be worried in your heart. When going to the next unknown station, you have to consider the time you have to spend with your loved ones on the return trip, and you have to think about the surface of the earth.
Are the hunters wandering around Uncle Zhengchu - the same is true for us Tianshu officers, but the passengers are wandering in the underground world, and we are dealing with demons in the human world, so we will have more worries."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Zhengchu returning to the communication room.
He was full of apologies, just as Xingchen said, he was looking for an excuse to leave.
"My ex-wife called me and said that there are clues about her daughter in Guangxi. Since you are all locals in Hengyin, it is easy to find and contact you. This young man also has many things to do. How about we get together next time?
Get together?"
In the in-depth interpretation of human feelings and sophistication, this [next time]——
——I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to meet again.
Ye Beichao whispered: "Do you want to refuse? Do you want to keep uncle?"
Xingchen super whispered: "How to refuse?"
The two brothers seemed to be at their wits end.
Xueming suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if another big stone had been put down.
"Then..."
Sudden--
——A blond and blue-eyed foreigner burst in from the door.
That's Chen Fugui, boss Chen of the papermaking shop, Ye Bei's arsenal.
"Then stay and have a meal! Go to the KTV to have some fun! Let's sing a song? No way? No way? You don't even have four hours for the Lantern Festival, right?"
This fake foreign devil broke into the communication room, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively, and there was no longer the awkwardness before.
