Chapter 240: Mysterious Cousin
According to the address provided by Qiao Liangong, Jin Chengshun found the grave of his grandparents, but to his surprise, there was a bouquet of flowers, a bottle of liquor that had been opened, and a large amount of fruit in front of the tombstone.
Someone has been here, and it hasn't been for long, because the flowers are bright and dripping, and the alcohol smell of baijiu is also strong.
Who has been here? Father?
It's unlikely, it should be the cousin who helped his grandparents take care of the funeral.
Jin Cheng looked down the mountain, and the figures of Jing Xingbo and Jing Qinqin were blurred......
The surname is Jing, is it him? It's a little incredible! But this is probably the most plausible explanation.
After worshipping his grandparents, Jin Cheng hurried down the mountain, eager to confirm the guess in his heart.
……
In a private room in the tea restaurant, two men and one woman, a pot of good Longjing, the fragrance of tea is overflowing.
"Mayor Jing, take the liberty of asking, do you know Jing Geshu?" Jin Cheng carefully considered his words, and finally decided to knock on the side first.
"Hmm." Jing Xingbo took a sip of tea, snorted with his nose, and then was stunned, suddenly looked up at Jin Cheng, and said, "Jing Geshu is my cousin, how do you know him?" ”
"Then you are here today to pay homage to an old man named Jing Quan'an?"
"Yes, hey, Jin Cheng...... Are you investigating and tracking me? Jing Xingbo became vigilant, frowned slightly, and asked with an uneasy expression.
"Don't get me wrong, it's a complete coincidence that we can meet today, because I also came to worship Jing Quan'an, the old man. When I went to the grave and found that someone had come to worship, I thought that you had just left and your surname was Jing, so I made a bold guess. Jin Cheng smiled bitterly and hurriedly explained.
"Why? Who are you, uncle? Jin Cheng's words didn't make Jing Xingbo let down his vigilance, but he couldn't think of any reason for Jin Cheng to be unfavorable to him.
"Jing Quan'an is my grandfather, Jing Xingbo is my father, cousin, cousin, isn't it unexpected? Don't worry, listen to me. My father fell in love with a woman from the Mu family in the capital, that is, my mother Mu Qin, due to the strong opposition of my mother's family, my mother secretly ran away from home and came to Sanlian Village, Xinqiao Town, Jichang County, Gangning City, Donghu Province, that is, my adoptive father's home, when my mother was pregnant with me and married my adoptive father. In less than a year, the Mu family tracked me down, and my mother left me and my adoptive father in order to protect me, and she was later arrested and returned to the Mu family. I went to the capital a few years ago, found my mother, and took her back to Jichang County. Regarding my father's affairs, I only know that he went abroad, and a cousin took care of the aftermath of his grandparents' deaths, but I didn't expect this cousin to be you. ”
"You're really my cousin's son, it's incredible!" Jing Xingbo looked Jin Cheng up and down, and he really had the shadow of his cousin back then, and he said: "But what you said is the Mu family in the capital, I know that it is true, my cousin was also hit hard by this incident back then, so he went abroad, we broke off contact ten years ago, and I don't know his current situation." Jin Cheng, I want to meet your mother, is that okay? ”
"Of course, no problem, I'll arrange the time when I get back."
"Don't arrange time, Qin Qin and I came by plane, you came by car, let's take your car back early tomorrow morning, how about going directly to your house to see your mother?" Jing Xing Bodao.
"Yes, listen to Uncle Tang's arrangement." Jin Cheng said with a smile.
"Don...... Cousin, this is an awkward title, I'll call you brother, brother. After Jing Qinqin knew that Jin Cheng was her cousin, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and a faint melancholy spread in her heart, as if she had lost something precious, and it took her a long time to get rid of this kind of affection.
"Alas, haha, I have another sister, great! Uncle, let's go back to the city, I'll have a treat, and have some wine at noon to celebrate. Jin Cheng was very happy, thinking that Jing Xingbo had come thousands of miles to worship his grandparents, he was very grateful, and he had already recognized that their family was his relatives.
"It's worth celebrating, if Cousin Goshu knew that he had a very good son, I guess...... Alas, don't talk about it, Jin Cheng, your dad went to Los Angeles eighteen years ago, and the news was cut off about ten years ago, I guess he may have had an accident, if you have a chance, you go to the United States to find out. Speaking of his cousin Jing Geshu, Jing Xingbo sighed with a worried face.
"Uncle, don't worry, I wrote it down, I will definitely find my dad, my mother is still waiting for him to come home for a reunion!" Jin Cheng's face was firm, as if he was completely sure of finding his father, in fact, he knew in his heart that it was very difficult, there had been no news in ten years, maybe his father was no longer alive, but he promised his mother, even if there was only one ten-thousandth hope, he would make 100% efforts, so he himself had to strengthen his confidence.
Jing Xingbo's parents are still alive, they live in this small county town, in the evening, Jin Cheng followed their father and daughter to meet the second elder, and stayed in Jing's house that night, and talked with Jing Xingbo on their knees, and talked a lot about Jing Geshu, which made the father image in Jin Cheng's mind vivid, and his determination to find his father was more firm.
From Jing Xingbo's account, it is known that his father is ordinary-looking, but he is extremely smart and talented, and he was the top science student in the provincial college entrance examination and was admitted to Beijing University majoring in biological sciences. After graduation, he worked in a foreign-funded company for three years, and then the company sent him to the United States for further study, and then stayed in the United States.
This night, Jin Cheng stayed awake all night, as long as he closed his eyes, his mind was turned over and over again the shadow of his father, and in the second half of the night he simply got up to meditate and cultivate, and it took a long time to give up distracting thoughts and enter a state of selfless cultivation.
Early the next morning, he said goodbye to the second elder, drove by Jin Cheng, and embarked on the return journey.
The reason why Jing Xingbo wanted to see Jin Cheng's mother was to further confirm Jin Cheng's identity, and he also had some things to give to their mother and son.
After Jin Cheng's grandparents passed away, the house where he lived was demolished, and this demolition compensation was kept by Jing Xingbo, and he also left a few relics, which were originally intended to be handed over to his cousin, and now they are handed over to their mother and son.
The meeting went very smoothly, Jing Xingbo and Mu Qin chatted for a long time, and after dinner in the evening, Jin Cheng drove Jing Xingbo and Jing Qin Qin back to the provincial capital, and when he came back, he brought back a bank card, as well as a stack of old photos, including those of his grandparents, and most importantly, photos of his father Jing Geshu.
Seeing his father for the first time, Jin Cheng felt a lot of emotion, the father in the photo is very young, almost in his twenties, with a public face and a very sunny smile. Jin Cheng looked at himself in the mirror, really like ......
Jin Cheng left a photo of his father so that he could use it when looking for his father in the future, and handed over the rest to his mother, including the bank card.
In the middle of the night, Jin Cheng could faintly hear the crying sound coming from his mother's room, which was the voice of longing, which was tear-jerking. Jin Cheng was a little worried that she was too excited, after all, her condition was still unstable.
It wasn't until more than three o'clock in the morning that Mu Qin fell asleep in a daze, and Jin Cheng was relieved to rest.
