Chapter 193: You Are My Brother
"Who's here to chatter?" Out of the back room came an old man with a slightly hunched back.
"This ......" Auntie's words are not finished yet!
"What's your name?" The old man was just stunned for a moment, and then asked.
Then, the moment he saw Tu Cheng's father, the pipe slipped from his hand, and he stood in place.
"My name is Slayer Dragon!" Tu Cheng's father replied in Guizhou dialect.
"What? What do you say? The old man with the pipe didn't understand the Guizhou dialect very well, and he didn't react at once.
"May I ask if you are the old man Tao Qihong?" Hao Lili took over the conversation and asked.
"I'm .....!"
"We are ......"
"They're here to find their relatives!" Before Tu Cheng could finish what he had said, the aunt answered.
"Yes, we are ......" Tu Cheng's voice became low.
At this moment, all the people present saw that the old man Tao Qihong's eyes had been staring at Tu Zilong.
In that moment, all the people were silent! Even the big dog, who had been barking loudly at the stranger outside the door, was now lying in the corner without saying a word.
"You're on my brother!" After being silent for a minute, two, or three, the old man Tao Qihong suddenly trembled his lips and said!
After saying that, he moved his steps and walked towards the side of the slayer dragon.
Perhaps because of the lack of crutches due to the lack of legs and feet, the old man Tao Qihong moved his steps with great difficulty.
Compared with the old man Tao Qihong, Tu Zilong's body was not bad, and he stepped forward with neat steps to support the old man who was moving towards him.
"We look alike!" When the eyes of the two were within easy reach, Tu Zilong muttered.
At this time, the wife of the old man Tao Qihong, that is, the gray-haired Northeast aunt before, had already moved a few benches out of the house: "Come on, come on, sit down first!" ”
With that, she turned and went into the house again, and a moment later she came out with a teapot in her hand.
"Big sister, you're catching a cold outside, it's cold! Come on, drink some hot water first! After speaking, he poured a cup of steaming water from the teapot and handed it to Tu Cheng's mother Tu Hua.
When she saw the finger that couldn't be bent when Tu Cheng's mother Tu Hua reached out to receive the water, the expression on the aunt's face trembled slightly.
Then, the aunt poured hot water for the other people.
Communication with people has always been Hao Lili's strength!
Under her series of questions and mutual communication, they knew that just a while ago, the old man's son Tao Gang also took the old man to Changchun to look for relatives, and thus lost his ID card.
Because of this, Jiang Qicai, a volunteer photographer in Changchun, used his camera to photograph the old man Tao Qihong walking past Tao Qihong from there at the door of a hotel.
At the same time, Hao Lili and the others also learned that the white-haired aunt who had just poured hot water for them was Gao Chaomei, the wife of the old man Tao Qihong.
"Then why wasn't Brother Gang there at that time?" Hao Lili was somewhat suspicious that the old man Tao Qihong looked like he was not flexible in his legs. After all, there is still a short distance from Harbin to Changchun, and his son Tao Gang must be accompanied by him every step of the way!
"At that time, I was suddenly anxious, so I asked my dad to wait for me at the door of the hotel, and I went to the toilet!" Tao Gang said in a loud voice.
"Well, that's kind of what happened!" The old man nodded and recalled.
After that, it was Tu Cheng who took the lead in talking about his journey to find relatives for his father. However, I don't know anything about the family search network and the DNA Tao family. It has the feeling of talking about chickens and ducks.
"I'm sorry, big brother! I only went to elementary school, and I don't understand the kind of high-tech stuff you talked about. Tao Gang explained with a smile.
At the same time, Tao Gang talked about his grandfather's long-cherished wish and some past events of the family in front of everyone.
Tao Gang, who is seven years old today Chinese New Year's Eve has an older sister who is only two years older than him. Unfortunately, when my sister was ten years old, my father took my sister to the county town to catch the market! An accidental, a car made my sister lose her name! Since then, Tao Gang has become the only child in the family, and his mother Gao Chaomei has never added a younger brother or sister to him.
Today, he remains single!
In fact, in addition to not having much culture, Tao Gang is still very good, and it is natural that he can't marry a daughter-in-law!
"Brother, seeing that my father's body is getting worse day by day, I just want to help him find his brother quickly, so I can take care of what daughter-in-law I marry!" Tao Gang sighed.
Then, Tao Gang talked about his grandfather! According to Tao Gang, when he was young, he didn't know that his father actually had a biological brother.
But when his grandfather was dying, he called him to the bedside and told Tao Gang that he also had a young son who was sent to Changchun by himself just two months after he was born to change money. And this youngest son is Tao Gang's own uncle.
Similarly, now it seems that Tao Gang's own uncle is Tu Cheng's father Tu Zilong.
"My grandfather died with a stomach full of guilt!" As he spoke, Tao Gang reached out and wiped the corner of his eye. As night fell, the lights in the room couldn't hide the red circles in the corners of his eyes.
I really don't know that my father traveled thousands of kilometers from here to Changchun to Guizhou, and then to my grandfather! I really don't know how much he suffered when he was a baby.
But as far as Tu Cheng knows, his grandfather exchanged food with distant relatives for his father Tu Zilong, which caused the two aunts above to starve to death.
Looking at it this way, although the reality is cruel, the father is lucky. Otherwise, my father might not have been able to survive back then.
Although the communication with the Northeast relatives and aunt Gao Chaomei, Uncle Tao Qihong and cousin Tao Gang seemed a little difficult. But this gathering of the whole family also seems to be happy!
After a while, the two brothers, Tao Qihong and Tu Zilong, sat together and smoked their pipes.
Although the ending of this family search looks very good, Tu Cheng and Hao Lili always have a faint worry in their hearts! Because, in their hearts, from Harbin to Changchun, Shenyang to Guizhou, it is just a train ticket or a ticket distance. But half a century ago, that was thousands of kilometers away.
Therefore, no matter how they think about it, they each feel in their hearts that this thing will always seem more or less unreal.
So, when he was lying on the kang of his cousin Tao Gang's house and preparing to sleep, Tu Cheng sent such a message to Hao Lili's mobile phone: "Lili, do you feel the need to do a DNA test for our father and uncle?" ”
When Hao Lili saw this message, she did not reply to Tu Cheng immediately, but put her mobile phone in her pocket by going to the bathroom, walked out of the back room, and stood in the darkness of the night, letting the cold wind blow on her face.
Actually, about her fiancé Tu Cheng's proposal, this is what she has thought for a long time. However, seeing the two old men sitting together smoking pipes, she immediately gave up on her thoughts.
What worries her is that if the real results come out and prove that this is just a fictional truth, how cruel it must be for the two old men who can already be regarded as having read the sixtieth birthday.
So, she stood in the cold air and replied: "Don't you think it would be too cruel if everything was fictional and true? ”
It's just a pity that she stood in the cold air for more than ten minutes and couldn't receive a reply from Tu Cheng. When she opened the screen of the flip phone, she found that the mobile phone signal here was very weak, only one bar, and it was intermittent!
That night, lying on Tao Gang's house, Tu Cheng and Hao Lili did not fall asleep. Instead, I heard Tu Cheng's mother Tu Hua coughing violently from time to time.
Several times, Tu Cheng sent money to reply and asked his sister to take his mother to a better hospital in Dao County to check it out. However, according to my sister's feedback, my mother thinks it is too expensive. Every time I coughed, I would just prescribe some cough syrup at the clinic in town.
So, Tu Cheng secretly planned in his heart, anyway, there is still a long time before the end of the annual leave, so he simply took his mother to Chengdu to go to the best hospital in the southwest there for a full body examination!
However, there is no book of the future in this world! What Tu Cheng didn't expect was that it was really because of this seemingly insignificant cough that his mother Tu Hua would die in more than ten days.
If he and Hao Lili knew that this was the end, they would definitely take their mother to the doctor first, and then bring their father to find relatives.
It wasn't until the next morning, when he was having breakfast at Tao Gang's house, that Tu Cheng received a reply from Hao Lili who was standing in the cold wind of the night the night before.
However, he had already prepared for it. This is inseparable from the habits of the work he usually does. In his daily work, he never allows the existence of any bugs.
Therefore, for the true outcome of this family search, he decided to only let himself and Hao Lili know. As for the old men, the uncle of the Tao family didn't need any greetings at all. Both of them only need to take them around the same city in the name of travel! Wait a week for the results of the DNA test to come out, and you're done.
Because he had helped his father find relatives on the Internet for a long time, he had already taken his father to the relevant departments for DNA entry. Tu Cheng is already familiar with the identification process of DAN and the waiting time for the results.
After establishing the kinship between the two families, they stayed at the Tao uncle's house for another two days before choosing to leave on the morning of the fourth day.
In the past two days, I have watched the two old men be inseparable every moment. Several times, Tu Cheng and Hao Lili secretly wiped their tears for this family relationship, which was more than half a century late.
Even for a moment, Tu Cheng wanted to give up his plan to make DNA for the two old men! However, in the end, after countless deliberations, he still insisted on making the decision to do DNA for the two old people.
Because, in his opinion, as far as he is concerned, he prefers to accept the cruelest truth than the imaginary flamboyant happiness. Because, once something that is not real! The moment the truth is revealed, nothing will end. If you can take the ending into your own hands sooner or later, it will not lead to a chaotic ending.
