Chapter 275: Where are Jindan and the others? Will Jindan and the others go with us?
"Wasn't it snowing at the time? Fortunately, it wasn't heavy, so I followed the footprints to find someone.
There were marks on the ground in the direction the man came and went.
He guessed that it was snowing heavily when he came, and thought that the footprints would be covered up directly, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
As a result, the snow became much lighter and was about to stop."
"That person was watching right next to them! He was probably worried that the child would freeze to death.
I guess if we don't come out, he will take the child away.
He was worried about the child, so he was caught by your mother and me."
Xiao Yichen was puzzled: "Then you returned the child to him?"
That can’t be possible, otherwise, where would his elder brother come from?
Xiao Aimin patted his thigh and said, "I think that when we went out, I was holding a boning knife in my hand, and your mother was holding a kitchen knife.
Back then, it was brighter at night than it is now.
It can be seen that he is a man around thirty years old.
The clothes my mother-in-law wore were tattered.
But it must hurt the kid.
The child was wrapped quite tightly.
When that man saw your mother and I had found him, he started crying.
We let him take the child away.
He didn't agree and knelt down in front of me on the spot, crying loudly like a grown man.
You have no idea how creepy that scene was.
On a snowy night, a child was crying loudly, and a grown man was also crying loudly.
There is also the sound of the whistling wind.
"Oh. When I think about it, I feel uncomfortable."
How many years has it been?
Thinking of that night, Xiao Aimin still felt a little creepy.
"The man just knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. It was so cold, his tears were about to freeze onto his face.
He said he had no choice because all his family members had died and he and his child were the only ones left.
There's no way to survive.
He said he was going to flee and ask his relatives for help.
This child is really unbearable.
If you bring it with you, it will most likely be destroyed on the way.
They sent the baby to us because they heard we didn’t have any children. They were really afraid that we wouldn’t want it, so they left it at our door.
We plan to find a way to keep this child alive and give him to us to raise."
Wiping his tears with his hands like dry branches, Xiao Aimin continued, "Your mother and I were not happy about it, so the man said that if it really didn't work, we should keep the baby for a while.
He went to borrow some food and drink from his relatives, and when he found it, he would come back to pick him up.
He gave me some money and told me that I would come back to pick up the child in one month or at most three months.
We didn't want to agree, but he said there was no other way and they could only throw the child into the mountains and let him fend for himself.
It's better than suffering on the road and having your meat pulled by a blunt knife.
Alas, it’s just a life after all.
If we hadn't seen it, we wouldn't have said anything. But if we saw people, we couldn't just let a baby fend for itself.
There is no other way but to keep it.
Later, after a long time, the man still didn't come back.
Your mother wants to send the child away.
This is a boy, and there will always be someone else to carry on the family line.
In fact, it was not easy to send them away at that time because there were too many children without parents.
But I can't bear to let it go. I've raised it for several months and I've developed feelings for it.
You don’t know, when your eldest brother was little, he smiled at me cutely.
She looks so beautiful when she smiles.
Your mother almost divorced me because of this.
Later, when your second brother was born, your mother stopped mentioning sending you away.
Gradually, after so many years, we were about to forget about it, so why did he come here now? "
Thirty years!
He raised his son for thirty years!
Xiao Aimin began to cry again.
The snot bubbles also come out.
Then continue wiping with the handkerchief.
Xiao Yichen closed his eyes.
I can't bear to see it, so I just ignore it.
"Dad, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Aimin wiped his nose and said, "What can I do? He's my biological father.
What can we do?
You can't be so conscienceless as to refuse to let others recognize you.
If your brother wants to acknowledge him, then go ahead. You already said that he's a high-ranking official, and if he lives with his biological father, his life will definitely be better than ours."
Xiao Yichen stared at the water in the river for a long time.
Winter is approaching and there is less water.
A lot of the riverbed is exposed.
"Where are Jindan and the others?" Xiao Yichen chased the dry grass on the river bank with his toes.
The voice is very soft.
Blown away by the wind.
Old Man Xiao heard it.
His face froze.
Yes, what about the children?
Bow down.
He wiped his nose again and then spoke: "Well, what can we do, just follow their grandfather.
My grandfather is an old farmer. What future can you have by following me? You will still be digging in the soil for a living, facing the loess and back to the sky.
If I follow my grandfather, and then follow a high-ranking official, I will definitely live a good life."
Xiao Yichen touched his pocket.
He wanted to smoke, too.
But there was nothing in his pocket except a few banknotes.
This was not the answer he wanted.
But his father was right.
It is indeed better to follow the senior officials than to follow them.
The two returned home, and although they tried to act calm, Aunt Xiao still discovered something.
In the evening, Aunt Xiao pressed Old Man Xiao: "Tell me, what happened?"
Xiao Aimin, who was soaking his feet, shuddered: "No, nothing!"
Obviously lacking in confidence.
Aunt Xiao doesn't spoil him.
In order to make it easier to teach the old man a lesson, the children were sent to the second son.
Now you don't have to worry about the children having wild thoughts.
He walked up to me and started twisting my ears: “It’s nothing, don’t you see what you look like when you come back?
His nose and eyes were red and swollen, obviously from crying.
If the children weren't around and I was giving you face, would I ask now?
Do you think you are pretending so well that no one noticed? "
Xiao Aimin: Why are you pulling my ears again!
He doesn't agree!
Unfortunately, it only lasted for 0.1 seconds.
The next moment, under Aunt Xiao's angry gaze, he told the whole story.
Aunt Xiao was also stunned.
He took two steps back and sat on the kang.
His hands dropped limply.
It fell on the kang table.
The expression on his face was lonely and desolate.
He murmured, "Why are you here now?"
The words were mumbled in his mouth, the voice was not loud, but it was filled with countless sorrows.
Xiao Aimin was also thinking, yes, why are you here now.
Why not come earlier or later, but now?
Thirty years, thirty years!
Raise the children, marry them, marry them, and take care of the grandchildren.
If you had come earlier, would you still need these?
If you come a little later, after they have all left, will they still be sad?
It's fine now.
Including the daughter-in-law, the whole family of five has to be given to them.
The old couple worked hard for decades, but in the end they got nothing.
Aunt Xiao sat there for a long while.
Finally, he felt unwilling to give up: "What about Jindan and the others? Are they going with you?"
Although I thought that this was for someone else's grandfather, I still held on to a glimmer of hope.
What if?
What if the old man is tough enough and keeps the three children?
They have raised Xiao Yijing for so many years. Even if he has no credit, he must have worked hard.
They don't want anything but the child.
Xiao Aimin heard the expectation in his wife's voice.
He lowered his head in silence, feeling somewhat self-blaming and guilty.
It was originally straight, but with this sentence, it collapsed more and more.
Aunt Xiao saw her old man like this.
The hope in the eyes is like the sunset in the sky.
It was wonderful for a moment, but disappeared into darkness as the sun, the symbol of hope, set.
Yeah, probably not!
Other people’s children and grandchildren must be given to them!
"So when will he come?"
After asking this, Aunt Xiao turned sideways and lay down on the kang.
She had lost all her strength.
Xiao Aimin also lay on the kang.
He was tired too.
"Probably just these two days!"
People have already found out about them, so it should be here soon.
Who knew, the person never came!
It was the Zhang family and the He Laoxi family who came first!
We came here together!
