***********
Anna ordered the dish very generously, and then asked the waiter to open a bottle of red wine, after the dishes were all on the table and the wine was full, Anna just beckoned the two fathers and sons to eat and drink, and never mentioned the acquisition, which made Li Yifan feel even more confused, what does this woman want to do?
"Mr. Li, you are from Bincheng in Northern Province, right?"
Anna seemed to be suddenly interested in Li Liqiang, and began to ask questions, but all the questions were about topics that were not related to ambergris.
"Do you live in downtown Bincheng?"
"No, our family lives in Longtou Village, on the outskirts of Ben Thanh."
"Oh, that's right."
Dad's answer was decent, but Anna nodded again and again, and even showed a hint of joy on her face.
"How many people are in your family, what is your father's name? Is the old man still alive now? ”
At this time, even Li Liqiang felt that Anna's problem was a little strange, he stopped the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Anna with very strange eyes.
Anna also put down her chopsticks and looked at Li Liqiang's gaze, this woman, this momentum, really made Li Yifan feel a little surprised.
"Whew!"
Anna didn't hold back, she was the first to smile, then shook her snow-white neck, and said to Li Liqiang.
"Mr. Li, I just told you, my father is Chinese, I have half Chinese blood, I also have the surname Li, and my father was also born in Longtou Village in the early years, but in 49 years, he followed Jiang Gong to Baodao, and later went abroad, took root abroad, and waited until his later years to have a daughter like me. At that time, he was old and not in good health, and his favorite thing to do was to hold me on his lap and tell me all day about his hometown and his brother, who was missing his whereabouts in his homeland......"
When Anna talked about this history, there was even a tear in her eyes, obviously remembering his father. At this time, Li Liqiang's expression was also a little excited, he was also Li Yifan's grandfather, and before him, he had a big brother.
And Li Yifan's grandfather also has a younger brother, but when he was fighting devils, he participated in the official army, and later with the defeat of Jiang Gong, he changed from the official army to the bandit army.
Li Yifan has grown up by his grandfather's side since he was a child, so he has heard his grandfather mention it many times, and his brother who has fallen overseas, every time he mentions it, the old man is teary-eyed.
And now that Anna is mentioning such a period of history, could it be that she will be the cousin she has never met?
If you look closely, you really can't see Anna's age, but if you look hard, you can still see the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, she is about thirty years old, about ten years younger than her father, if it is the child of the second grandfather he has never met, then it is not impossible.
Listening to Anna talk about such a period of history, Li Liqiang's heart was stirred, and he trembled and took out a jade lock tied with a red rope from his neck, this jade lock was left to him by the old man back then, and the old man once told him that this was a set of jade. There was also a jade key, but the key was taken by his brother, and if someone came to the door one day with a jade key, it would be his brother's relatives who had found it.
And Anna was also excited when she saw the jade lock that Li Liqiang took out from her neck, her eyes instantly turned red, she stretched out her hand to her neck, and took out a jade key from her neckline, but her jade key was not tied with a red rope, but strung with a thin platinum necklace.
The two pieces of jade are obviously old, although Li Yifan doesn't know the carving of jade or anything, but it is still obvious that these two pieces of jade are a set.
Because no matter the quality of the jade, as well as the size, as well as the carving technique, it can be seen that this is the handwriting of the same person.
"So, are you...... You're my sister......"
Li Liqiang, who is nearly fifty years old and has been strong all his life, his voice trembled a little at this time, he remembered that his grandfather walked with a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and he didn't close his eyes when he left, zuihou is Li Liqiang put his hand on his grandfather's eyes, and said that he would definitely find his lost relatives, so that grandpa Zuihou closed his eyes.
It's a pity that in his last life, because of everything, Li Liqiang didn't complete his journey to find his relatives, but he didn't expect to meet so coincidentally in this life.
No wonder when I saw this Ms. Anna, I had such an inexplicable sense of closeness, it turned out that this is the strength of blood and family!
Although we are thousands of miles away and have never met, when we meet together, this kind of blood and family connection will be manifested from the blood vessels to the outside.
No wonder I feel this way when I see her......
"Big Brother ......"
Anna couldn't help it first, her tears poured down, and Li Liqiang couldn't help but hug this girl who she hadn't seen for many years is pain.
Such a scene of family reunion really made Li Yifan feel a little sour......
"By the way, is the second uncle okay with his old man?"
Finally, after the two of them finished venting, Li Liqiang asked Anna.
"A few years ago, he went because of a heart attack."
"And who's in the house?"
"There are two older brothers, but one of them is in Canada, one is in the United States, after my father came out of the treasure island, he first began to obtain the United States, and then earned the first pot of gold in his life in the United States, and then immigrated to Canada, where to retire, I was born in Canada."
"Then how did you end up with this French company?"
Li Yifan suddenly interjected and asked, today's events are so dramatic, this scene still feels like he is making a movie, if it weren't for Anna really sitting in front of him, he really couldn't believe it.
In my previous life, my father had also worked hard to find each other, but his financial resources were limited, and Zuihou had no result, so he didn't expect to meet each other here in such a way in this life.
"It's ......"
"This is the third child in our family, and he has an older brother and an older sister, Yifan, how do you talk to your aunt? Nothing big or small! ”
While introducing Anna, Dad looked at Li Yifan with some disgust.
"Haha, big brother doesn't have to be like this, this kid is so good, today he negotiated with me face-to-face, and he is not weak at all, this is impressive, this is much stronger than the average seventeen-year-old child......"
Anna's eyes when she looked at Li Yifan at this time had changed, and she no longer maintained the elegance of her demeanor like before, but brought a kind of love for the elders to look at the younger generations.
Li Yifan also felt the kindness in the other party's eyes, so he obediently lowered his head and shouted.
"Auntie!"
"Huh! My husband is French, so I work for this French company. ”
Anna said as she took her handbag and took out a small mini photo album with photos of her and her family.
When he saw the black and white photo of the old man of Huaguo holding a mixed-race little girl, Li Liqiang could immediately determine that this Anna must be his cousin.
Because after the second uncle went to join the official army, he once mailed back a photo of him wearing a military uniform to his grandfather, and the people in it and the old man in this photo now, although the image has changed a little, but the style and bones can never change, and there is no doubt that the second uncle is undoubted. And Li Yifan was basically sure that this Anna was undoubtedly his cousin at this time!
Anna introduced Li Liqiang to the situation of their family again, and Li Liqiang also introduced the situation on his side to Anna, when they heard that their grandfather had also died, the two brothers hugged their heads and cried again.
Finally, his emotions were calmed down, and Li Yifan made up his mind.
"Auntie, since you are the negotiation partner of our business this time, then okay, our ambergris will come at the price you said before."
He pondered, if this ambergris is bought by his aunt at such a price, then she will definitely be praised by her superiors when she goes back, which will help her future development.
And Anna didn't rush to agree, she looked at Li Yifan carefully a few times, and saw that he really didn't seem to be cheating, so she laughed again.
"Fool, how can my aunt take advantage of you......"
