Chapter 2 Recognition of Blood Relatives
"Knock knock!"
Zhou Tianming, whose whole body was soaked by the rain, walked to a rental house that looked a little shabby, and knocked on the door gently.
"Who?" The woman's voice rang out, and the door opened softly.
"Peace! My son...... Lao Chen! Son...... The son is back! ”
Half of the woman's hair, who looked to be in her forties, had turned silvery-white.
Some thin hands hurriedly grabbed Zhou Tianming's hand, as if they were afraid that he would disappear in the next second.
Although they have never met, the bond of family affection makes the other party affirm that Zhou Tianming is her long-lost son.
Inside the house, panicked footsteps came, and a short-haired middle-aged man with the same gray hair walked to the door.
"Peace!"
The middle-aged man wanted to go up and hug Zhou Tianming, but he was extremely restrained from his impulses, worried about scaring the young man in front of him.
"Kid, quick, come in, I'...... I'll get you clean clothes! ”
"With such a heavy rain, you don't have an umbrella, in case you catch a cold......"
At the moment of seeing the two, an indescribable warm current gushed out directly from the bottom of Zhou Tianming's heart.
It's as if the sun on a summer afternoon can dispel all the cold!
The feeling of being surrounded by family affection was something he had never experienced.
When he was in the Zhou family, the seven sisters were also very good to him, but there was no emotion in that!
And now, whether it is from the eyes of the couple or the words of concern, Zhou Tianming feels true family affection.
After a while, Zhou Tianming, who had changed into clean clothes, walked out of the bathroom.
The living room is a bit cluttered, and the sofa and coffee table are full of paper with missing person notices printed on them.
For 20 years, in order to find him, his parents quit their jobs and kept searching for him.
All the ways have been exhausted, but there is no news at all.
It wasn't until yesterday that they received the news and hurried thousands of miles to Binhai.
Mother Lin Jing, who was only in her forties, began to feel a little rickety, and she looked at Zhou Tianming with tears in her eyes.
"Dad! Mother! ”
Zhou Tianming walked up to them and said two words solemnly.
Even Chen Yang, a calm and introverted father, could not control his emotions at this time, and tears couldn't stop flowing!
"Hey! Son! My son! ”
A family of three, after 20 years, is finally reunited.
Lin Jing's trembling hand handed a pendant to Zhou Tianming.
"This is the immortal lock we asked for when you were born, and if you carried it that day, maybe ...... Maybe you won't lose it! ”
Zhou Tianming took the gold pendant, engraved with a golden dragon on one side, and the word "peace" written on the other.
"Peace? My name is...... Chen Ping'an? He looked at his parents.
"Yes, Chen Ping'an, who was named to you at the beginning, just hoped that you would have a safe life, but I didn't expect that just after my first birthday, I ...... I'll lose you! Lin Jing said reproachfully.
"Mom, I'm back now, and I'll never lose it again!"
He stepped forward and took the initiative to hug his mother, and his father Chen Yang also walked over, a family of three, hugging each other tightly.
"Chen Ping'an! I will be Chen Ping'an in the future! ”
Half an hour later, the trio's mood calmed down slightly.
"Hey! When you come back...... I'm afraid I won't be able to live like Zhou's family again! Chen Yang suddenly sighed.
"Dad, why do you say that?" Chen Ping'an was puzzled.
"I inquired, you were adopted by the Zhou family before, where you could have lived this life without worrying about food and clothing!"
"Later...... but suffer with us! ”
"I ...... It's useless! Chen Yang clenched his fists and said.
"Dad, those things outside the body can be obtained at any time, far from being comparable to relatives!" Chen Ping'an replied.
In the twenty years of searching, occasionally getting some news, Chen Yang would immediately go to another city to look for it, so the job was gone.
Usually, the income of the husband and wife from odd jobs is only enough for their travel expenses.
Not long ago, Lin Jing was seriously ill, and Chen Yang borrowed more than 200,000 yuan from relatives and friends.
Their future life will only be more difficult.
Chen Yang really didn't want to drag Chen Ping'an down.
Chen Ping'an also learned from the mouth of the seventh child of the Zhou family that the current situation of his parents is not very good.
Looking at Lin Jing and Chen Yang's expressions, Chen Ping'an also had a guess.
"Mom, Dad!"
"Now that I'm back, I'll never leave again!"
"As long as we're all together, everything will be fine!"
Chen Ping'an decided that for the remaining three years, he would stay with his biological parents to make up for the shortcomings of more than 20 years.
Before dying, you should also leave your parents a sum of money that is enough to spend their old age comfortably.
"Dad, Mom, we are a family, whether it is a blessing or a curse, we must face it together!"
