A mast of white sails held the strong wind of hunting, destroyed the light boat jumping in the waves, and went down the river.

The elderly captain unbuttoned his coat, took off his hat, and shouted into the semicircular shed: "Guest officer, the rain has stopped, come out and see the river view." Look at how fast the river rises, as if it has filled up and expanded overnight. ”

When Shen Qing and Chen Wenqi heard this, they both walked out of the cabin. As far as the eye can see, the turbulent Yangtze River is like a brown dragon, tumbling, roaring, and pouring for thousands of miles. The river water that gathered from all directions seemed to be unwilling to be restrained, and rushed to both sides in waves, and the short and thin embankment trembled in the lapping of the waves.

Shen Qing, who had lived in the north for a long time, had never seen such a magnificent river? He was thrilled for a moment, and asked his father-in-law: "Boat man, is this river so full at this time of year?" Shen Ji, who chased down the Ba River and fell into the water 20 years ago, once had a relationship with the Yangtze River, so he knew that there was a dry season and a wet season.

"This season is going to rise every year, but not as much as this year. The captain gripped the tiller with both hands, and from time to time corrected the direction of the bow to avoid the oncoming waves.

"From here, this river seems to be a lot higher than the ground, if the river embankment bursts, won't the houses collapse and the fields will be flooded?" Shen Qing asked worriedly.

Chen Wenqi took over the conversation and said: "Yes, when the flood season comes, the river water will be higher than the fields and even the villages, and the people on both sides of the river love and fear it. ”

As he spoke, a torrent rushed over and knocked the bow of the boat off. The captain beckoned to the two of them: "The two guest officers stand firm, the strength of this Ba River is quite strong." ”

"Ba River, has you already arrived at Ba River?" Shen Qing saw that the Ba River, which used to be narrow and slow, was now a vast river, with high waves and rapid waters.

"Boatman, please come to the shore, I'm going to disembark here. Shen Qing said.

When the boatman heard this, he turned the bow of the boat and brought the boat to the shore not far from the west bank of the Ba River.

"Father-in-law, I'll go up with you. Chen Wenqi saw Shen Qing trembling on the boat, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"You don't have to, nephew, go home early, so that your father and mother don't have to wait anxiously. Shen Qing said deliberately.

"How can that be? When my father-in-law comes here, it is equivalent to coming to my house, and no matter what, I have to let my little nephew do his best to be a landlord. Besides, I also want to pay tribute to that Uncle Zhao Xin, so naturally I want to accompany my father-in-law ashore. ”

Chen Wenqi's words hit Shen Qing's heart, he was no longer polite, let Chen Wenqi help him ashore, and walked along the embankment of the river where the water would reach the top. The battlefield has been flooded by the surging river, and the stream that carries the swaddling clothes has become a turbid river, rushing all the way south to the river. In a trance, Shen Qing seemed to see the blue swaddling clothes tumbling in the huge waves, and he couldn't help but take a step forward, as if he wanted to grasp the burden that was about to be swallowed by the huge waves.

"Father, no. Chen Wenqi grabbed Shen Qing.

Shen Qing woke up from the illusion, bent his legs, knelt on the top of the embankment, and muttered in his mouth: "Senior brother-Ji'er-"

After a long time, Chen Wenqi helped Shen Qing up and persuaded him: "Father-in-law, let's go back to the boat." ”

Shen Qing quietly wiped a handful of tears, nodded, and returned to the boat step by step.

The captain turned the bow of the boat, rowed more than ten zhang into the river, dodged the tide of the Ba River, turned to the east, rushed through the catchment of the Ba River with difficulty, and traveled a few miles, when he suddenly heard the captain point to the distance and say, "What happened there? Why are there so many people standing on the shore?"

Shen Qing and Chen Wenqi turned around and saw that there were many people standing on the embankment on the north bank. Before they could see clearly, the boat was getting closer, and a voice came from the shore: "Hey——,Brother Wenqi, is it you?"

Chen Wenqi heard the voice of his brother Chen Wenzuo, and knew that it was the clansmen who came to greet him (on the wharf by the Wuchang River, he happened to meet an acquaintance from a neighboring village who was about to take a boat home, Xu was a letter from him), and hurriedly walked to the bow of the boat and waved his arms and shouted: "It's me-Wenqi is back." ”

Before the words fell, the boat had docked, and Chen Wenqi said to Shen Qing: "Father-in-law, you get off the boat slowly, I'll go up and say hello to them first." After finishing speaking, he jumped up, grabbed the embankment in a few steps, and saw that except for his father and fifth uncle, the rest were all equals, so he first made a big salute with his father and fifth uncle, and then met with his brothers and brothers. No matter what kind of champion or general he is, the young people in the clan laugh and hug him, just like childhood. Chen Ruishan and Chen Xiangshan stood aside, quietly watching them make a mess, with indescribable joy in their hearts.

After making a fuss for a while, Chen Wenqi saw a few demure girls dressed in red and green standing on the side, thinking that the neighboring villages were coming to see the excitement, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. After taking a closer look, he recognized that they were all sisters in the clan, so he asked in surprise: "Sister Wenqi, Sister Wenqi, Sister Wenyu, you are also here......?"

Chen Wenyu pursed his lips and smiled, and asked, "Brother Wenqi, is it good-looking?"

"Good looking. But ......"

"Brother Wen Qi, thanks to your blessing as a great champion, we can now wear red and green. ”

"Thanks to me, why is this?" Chen Wenqi didn't understand for a while.

Wen Qi and Wen Yu laughed "giggled" and did not make a sound. Chen Wenqi lightly slapped one of them and said angrily: "You know that you are crazy." Then he said to Chen Wenqi: "Last year, the county magistrate personally led a few officials to the village to ask for his uncle's handwriting, and secretly told him about your situation in the capital. After sending off the prefectural magistrate, the uncle was worried that the government would secretly send someone to check whether the village was really jealous, and at the same time he was happy that there was a champion in the clan, so he called several elders of the clan together to discuss, abolished this unwritten taboo, and encouraged the female relatives of the clan to wear red clothes often to deal with private visits from the government. So, we put on red makeup openly. ”

"'Conquer Sun Mou, with swallow wings', the love of honoring the uncle and licking the calf can be described as subtle, which is really touching. Shen Qing, who came ashore after him, was very moved when he heard this, and couldn't help but say.

Chen Wenqi suddenly realized that he was happy to patronize, but he left his father-in-law out in the cold for a long time. He pulled Shen Qing to Chen Ruishan and said, "Daddy, fifth uncle, this is General Shen, the father of the child's righteous brother; ”

"Brother Chen, Fifth Uncle (the habit in the south is compared to the title of the junior), take the liberty of disturbing. Shen Qing hugged his fists at the two of them.

"Distinguished guest, distinguished guest, please come home and speak. Chen Ruishan hurriedly returned the salute, enthusiastically pulled Shen Qing, and walked side by side towards Chenjiazhuang.

The ancestral hall of the Chen family, the lanterns are colorful, and in the corridors on both sides of the ancestral hall, there are dozens of tables of eight immortals lined up in one word, and the patriarch Chen Nansong is busy before and after, personally dotting this once-in-a-century "glory banquet". After a deafening sound of firecrackers, it was the patriarch Chen Nansong's speech, Chen Ruishan's thanks and other ceremonies, and then the clansmen toasted and congratulated one after another, and Chen Ruishan's father and son returned the salute one by one, until midnight, and all the clansmen returned home in the unfinished care.

Chen Ruishan took matters into his own hands and cleaned up a guest room for Shen Qing, and after Shen finished cleaning and rinsing, he said "good night" to Shen Qing, and then led Chen Wenqi to leave.

Shen Qing was anxious to solve the mystery in his heart, but he was afraid that Chen Ruishan would run out of energy, so he asked tentatively under the dilemma: "Today, Wen Qixian's nephew is back in glory, and he is really happy in the next commission, and he drank a few more cups in the banquet just now, and he didn't feel sleepy at this time." If Brother Chen has nothing else to do, can we two make small talk for a while?"

Chen Ruishan can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, and he knows that the guests have something to say, so he replied without hesitation: "If General Shen is interested, the old man is willing to accompany him." After speaking, Chen Wenqi went back to the room to rest first, and then went back to the room to greet Wen, brought tea and snacks, came to the "guest room", poured a cup of tea for Shen Qing, and took the initiative to talk after sitting down:

"Listening to the accent, General Shen is not like a southerner, where is Xianxiang?"

"Below is the Jiangzhou people of Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi. Shen Qing took the teacup handed over by Chen Ruishan and took a sip of fragrant tea.

"Jiangzhou? Isn't that Xue Li's hometown? No wonder General Shen is so heroic. ”

Shen Qing shook his hand again and again, and said seriously: "Brother Chen is too famous. Although he is a fellow villager with Xue Rengui in Xia, no matter whether it is strategy, kung fu or achievements, he is ashamed and difficult to match. ”

Chen Ruishan smiled and turned the topic to Jiangnan: "General Shen is the first time to come to Jiangnan, right?"

Shen Qingzheng was worried that he couldn't ask, this sentence gave him a chance, so he said: "This is the second time, the first time I came here, it was twenty years ago." ”

"Huh, General Shen came here twenty years ago?"

"Yes, but that experience is really unbearable. ”

"But why? Can General Shen be sued?" Chen Ruishan vaguely felt that this might be the subject of Shen Qing's all-night conversation with him, so he took the initiative to ask.

Sure enough, Shen Qing nodded slightly, and said with a gloomy expression: "Don't hide it from Brother Chen, I took the liberty to invite Brother Chen to talk at night, which is about this experience." ”

Chen Ruishan pressed his anxiety and said calmly: "General Shen, please speak." ”

Shen Qing didn't speak for a long time, as if recalling that experience. After a long time, he said slowly:

"It was the early spring of the eighth year of Chenghua, my father-in-law returned to his hometown due to illness, and took a group of eight people to the younger brother and wife and the younger brother and wife who had just turned one year old, and the younger brother and wife were still young, and they went to the foot of Daqi Mountain and encountered the interception of the enemy. My father-in-law and mother-in-law gave up my life to block the enemy's family and cover the escape of the six of us. Because the enemy's family was powerful and strong in martial arts, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law were both killed in battle, our five brothers fled to the bank of the Ba River with their children, but because there was no boat to cross, they were also caught up by the enemy. Shen Qing paused, as if trying his best to calm down his emotions, and then continued: "At that time, I was swaddling and restrained, and in order to prevent the children behind me from being harmed, I was always on the defensive and dealing with the enemy. The thief was mad, and the swords beckoned to the child, and I dodged left and right, but he finally took a look at the empty space and picked the child into the river...... After I drove the enemy away, I followed the river all the way to the Yangtze River, and there was no trace of Xiao'er. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Qing's eye sockets began to redden, and his lips trembled and he couldn't make a sound. He held the teacup in front of him with both hands, and hid his excitement by drinking water.

Chen Ruishan was even more upset at this time. It is definitely not a coincidence that the General Shen in front of him came to Chenjiazhuang to find his son who had been separated for twenty years. Although he has always wanted to uncover the mystery of Qi'er's life experience, and when Qi'er entered Beijing to take the exam, he specially asked Qi'er to wear a jade phoenix to find an opportunity, but when this "opportunity" really appeared, he hesitated. Could it be that Qi'er, who has worked hard to raise an adult and is now even more famous, will go away from now on and recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors? No, apart from the old wife and the fifth brother, no fourth person knows about this secret, and as long as the three of us don't say anything, no one can take Qi'er away. This thought flashed, Chen Ruishan's cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot, and he immediately blamed himself in his heart: Chen Ruishan, Chen Ruishan, you boast of governing the family with morality and being a righteous person in vain, but it is so unbearable when it comes to the end. Qi'er found her biological parents, I should be deeply relieved, how can I still ambiguously think about doing that deceitful thing?

At this time, Shen Qing seemed to have seen through Chen Ruishan's thoughts, and said to himself: "For twenty years, the life and death of the child has always been haunted in his arms, and how many nights have he dreamed back in the middle of the night, and the pillow is always wet. I don't have any other hopes, I just want to know whether the child is alive or dead, and whether he is safe. As long as you know his whereabouts, you will be over from now on, and you will have no regrets even if you don't see each other again. ”

Chen Ruishan was originally a person with a clear mind, and it is normal for him to be reluctant to give up his heart by the sudden "search for relatives". At this moment, his heart had calmed down, and as soon as Shen Qing's words fell, he asked: "General Shen talked about this, and went to Jiangnan, could it be that he found the clue of Ling Lang?"

"I found some objects that were placed next to the child back then. ”

"What's that?"

"A jade bi carved with a phoenix and a book of swords. To tell the truth, these two things were seen on General Ling Lang Chen. Therefore, I took the liberty to come here and asked Brother Chen to answer my questions: When Brother Chen picked up the swaddling clothes, he was ......" Shen Qing couldn't bear to say "dead or alive", and only stared at Chen Ruishan with his two eyes.

Chen Ruishan looked indifferent, and said in a snort: "Yes, that swaddling baby was picked up by my brother." I think back then, I was old enough to have a son, but I fell ill and died when he was less than 100 days old. At the end of that day, my fifth brother and I hastily buried the deceased child, burned some paper money, packed up the tools and was about to go home, the fifth brother casually glanced at the river, and saw a package flowing upstream from a distance, which was slowly approaching the shore. The fifth brother ran to the river, carefully hooked the package to the shore with a hoe, and found that it was a baby. I saw that his eyes were closed, his lips were black, and his whole body was cold......"

"Ahh

Chen Ruishan returned to reality from his memories, looked at Shen Qing in a daze, and did not continue, but asked Shen Qing, "General Shen, do you remember the color of the swaddling clothes?"

Shen Qing was in a heavy mood and replied loudly: "It's a blue printed baggage." Brother Chen, the child is really ...... Just ......"

If it is said that the jade bi and the sword spectrum are found on Qi'er, it doesn't mean anything, but one sentence can say that the color of the burden back then is enough to prove that he is Qi'er's biological father. Chen Ruishan no longer doubted, and said at the moment:

"General Shen doesn't have to worry, although the child is not crying or moving, and his whole body is cold, but he still has a faint snort. Seeing this, my fifth brother and I hurriedly took him home, changed his already soaked swaddling clothes and clothes, and warmed his old wife in his arms, and soon the child woke up. ”

"So, Ling ...... Lang is ...... It's ......" Shen Qing was incoherent for a while.

"Yes, Qi'er is General Shen's biological son. Chen Ruishan calmly told the truth.

"My biological son, my biological son......" Shen Qing muttered, two lines of tears running down his cheeks. Suddenly, he got up, walked to Chen Ruishan, took a deep look, and choked up: "Thank you Brother Chen for rescuing and raising the child, the next couple is unforgettable." ”

Chen Ruishan hurriedly returned the salute: "General Shen is polite." General Shen, please sit down for a while, and I'll go ......"

As he spoke, he turned and walked out of the room.

Shen Qing knew his intentions, hurriedly grabbed Chen Ruishan, and said earnestly: "Brother Chen, listen to me." I came here to find my son, just to know the final whereabouts of Xiao'er, and let go of my twenty years of concern. Today it is known that he is not only alive in the world, but also so good that it is enough to wish. This little secret will remain in our hearts, and we will never mention it again, so let Qi'er live as usual. Between the words, "Ji'er" has been changed to "Qi'er", which shows that he is from the heart.

Chen Ruishan was very moved when he heard this, what kind of feeling would it be to see each other but not recognize each other? He had also experienced the pain of losing a child, and he compared people's hearts to himself, and he could no longer let others repeat his pain.

"General Shen, Brother Gao Yi, got it. My husband and wife have enjoyed the joy of family for nearly 20 years, which is a great blessing given to us by God. Today, with the information of Qi'er's biological parents, if we want to ignore our conscience and face that nothing happens, won't it make us uneasy for the rest of our lives? Don't say anything, the foolish brother will go and call Qi'er, so that your father and son can meet each other and the family will be reunited. ”

Chen Ruishan's words made it difficult for Shen Qing to refute for a while. Seeing Chen Ruishan turn around and want to go, he grabbed him again and said, "Since Brother Chen said so, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate. But it's already four shifts now, and I'm not in a hurry for these few hours, so let's wait until dawn. ”

Chen Ruishan thought about it and made sense, so he said: "It's okay, just ask General Shen to rest early, I will bring Qi'er over after dawn, and your father and son will recognize each other." With that, he picked up the tea set and walked out the door.

"Brother Chen. Shen Qing sent Chen Ruishan to the door and said: "In the past 20 years, I have never slept once, and today with Qi'er's message, I want to be able to sleep well tonight, so I hope that Brother Chen does not have to rush to bring Qi'er over." ”

Chen Ruishan said understandingly: "General Shen, you can sleep steadily, and the foolish brother will come over later." ”

Chen Ruishan returned to his bedroom and saw a light like a bean, and Wen was still flying needles and threads under the lamp.

"Qi'er, why haven't you rested?" Chen Ruishan gently walked behind Wen and asked with concern.

Hearing this, Wen put down the needle and thread in his hand, raised his head and asked, "General Shen is really Qi'er's biological father?"

Chen Ruishan was secretly startled, but said in his mouth: "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Wen Shi sighed and said faintly: "You don't have to hide it from me, you and I have been married for decades, and you have told me this look." ”

"Yes, he is Qi'er's biological father. Chen Ruishan no longer concealed it.

Wen lowered his head, quietly wiped a handful of tears, and picked up the needlework to continue the unfinished female red.

Chen Ruishan looked uncomfortable and comforted: "You don't have to be sad, Qi'er can find his biological father, we should be happy for him." ”

"I also know this reason, but I ...... in my heart Heart...... It's uncomfortable. After Wen finished speaking, his eyes were already full of tears.

Chen Ruishan held back his tears, helped Wen Shi to the edge of the bed and sat down, wiped away her tears, and said warmly: "Don't do this. As soon as the morning dawns, we will let Qi'er and their father and son recognize each other, you can't show the slightest sadness. Here, let's figure out how to send Qi'er home. ”

The husband and wife comforted each other in the room while taking care of Chen Wenqi's "homecoming" outfits, and before they knew it, it was getting dark.

"Tuk Tuk", Chen Wenqi's voice came from outside the door: "Father, mother, the child greets you." ”

Chen Ruishan glanced at Wen's envoy, suggesting that she wipe away her tears, and opened the door, "Qi'er, why don't you sleep for a while?" Come in." ”

"Daddy, aren't there any guests here, if it's late, won't you snub the guests? Let's go, Daddy, let's go and accompany General Shen." Hey, mother, why are you crying?" Chen Wenqi hurriedly walked to Wen's side, took his mother's hand and asked.

"No, there may be a grain of sand in my mother's eyes. Wen hurriedly covered up, but after hearing his son's words, he became more and more sad, and couldn't help but twitch.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Daddy, my mother ...... her" Chen Wenqi panicked.

Chen Ruishan was very calm at this time, he sat next to the round table in the room, beckoned to Chen Wenqi, and said, "Your mother is fine." Qi'er, come, sit down, Daddy has something to say to you. ”

"Daddy, ...... you" Chen Wenqi still held his mother's hand, hesitating and not letting go.

Wen Shi gently withdrew his hand and said to Chen Wenqi: "Qi'er, go, your father has something to say to you." ”

"Daddy, let's go see General Shen first, we'll snub people if it's late. Chen Wenqi walked to the round table and reminded Chen Ruishan.

"It's okay, General Shen said that he should sleep a little longer, and it doesn't hurt to go later. You sit down first and listen to Daddy. ”

Chen Wenqi had no choice but to move a chair and sit down next to his father.

"Qi'er, do you know who General Shen is?"

"What kind of person? He is now the commander of Huguangdu. Daddy asked, what is this for?" Chen Wenqi was puzzled.

Chen Ruishan shook his head and said, "No, Daddy is asking General Shen who he is yours?"

"Oh, he's Qi'er's father-in-law. "The matter of swearing to Shen Lingshan, Chen Wenqi has already made it clear to the second elder.

Chen Ruishan still shook his head and said, "No, he is your dear relative than your father-in-law." ”

Relatives who are closer than my father-in-law? Could it be that my father already knows about me and Miss Shen? Since that day when he and Shen Lingshan resigned "Listening to the Rain" by the Yangtze River, Chen Wenqi has been thinking about how to mention this matter to his father and mother and hire him by the central media, but now when his father says it, he is embarrassed to admit it. Chen Wenqijun's face turned red, and he said: "Daddy, a stepfather is a stepfather, how can there be a closer one than a stepfather?"

Chen Ruishan was afraid that if he said it suddenly, Chen Wenqi would find it difficult to accept it for a while, so he said in a roundabout way: "Qi'er, do you know why General Shen came here with you?"

Chen Wenqi said: "I should have come to find someone, right? That day, I listened to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and I learned that their son was picked up by Liang De and thrown into the river, and there has been no news so far. Speaking of this, Chen Wenqi's heart flashed, and the question in his heart seemed to have an answer, "Yes, Daddy, Qi'er is just about to ask you, what is the matter with the jade bi and sword book you gave Qi'er......? The one that my brother wore was very similar. Could it be that this is the stuff in the swaddling clothes, and you picked it up by your father?"

Chen Ruishan nodded and said, "What Qi'er said is good. ”

So the boy was drowning...... Dead?" Chen Wenqi took off the "Fengbi" from his neck as he spoke, and said with a heavy heart: "General Shen, his beloved son is gone, and this jade bi should also be returned to him." ”

"No, Qi'er, you guessed wrong, that kid...... He wasn't drowned. ”

"Not dead?" When Chen Wenqi heard this, he jumped up with joy, took Chen Ruishan's hand and said, "Daddy, do you know the whereabouts of that child?" ”

"Qi'er, that kid is none other than you. Chen Ruishan gritted his teeth and told the truth.

When Chen Wenqi heard this, he was like a thunderbolt, his body went limp, and he collapsed on the seat. That day, Shen Qing discovered the jade bi for his healing, and merged it with Shen Lingshan's "Dragon Wall", and he knew that there must be a secret in it. For more than half a year, he has guessed a variety of possibilities, but he has not guessed his life experience. Since I can remember, my father, mother, fifth uncle and even the clansmen have taken great care and care for me, even if the young friends occasionally have disputes, no one has ever mentioned their life experience, how can they become a person who "picks up" overnight?

......Daddy has always been anxious for justice and righteousness, when he picked up the swaddling clothes, he found that the baby in the swaddling clothes was dead, so he preserved the jade bi and sword spectrum. Today, when General Shen came to look for his son, he could neither infer that he did not know, nor could he tell the "news of death", so he simply told General Shen that I was General Shen's lost son back then, so as to avoid the pain of his husband and wife - this must be the case.

"Daddy, Qi'er knows that you are afraid that General Shen will be sad, so you deliberately treat Qi'er as his lost son, right?"

Chen Ruishan shook his head and said emotionally: "Son, although Daddy has compassion, how can he give his son to others? You are indeed the little Shen Ji who was picked off by Liang De by General Shen back then." When you entered Beijing to take the exam, your father asked you to wear jade and sword books, hoping that by chance, you would recognize your father and mother one day. ”

Chen Wenqi was an extremely smart person, and when he saw his mother's sad expression, he knew that what his father said was true. But he couldn't accept this fact for a while, and whimpered with tears: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, it's not true." ”

"Don't you believe what?" Before the words fell, Chen Xiangshan stepped into the door.

"Fifth Uncle, you came just in time. Qi'er was born to her mother, isn't she?" Chen Wenqi grabbed the fifth uncle and asked with hope.

Chen Xiangshan was shocked when he heard this, and saw that the eldest brother's expression was gloomy, and the sister-in-law was even more crying, not knowing what happened. He looked at his eldest brother Chen Ruishan and did not answer his nephew's question.

"Old Five, there's nothing to hide, you might as well tell him again. ”

"Big brother, what's wrong with you, okay, why did you tell Qi'er about these past stories of Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds?" Chen Xiangshan complained.

"Old Five, do you know who General Shen is? He is Qi'er's biological father. Chen Ruishan told the conversation with Shen Qing last night.

Chen Xiangshan then understood, smiled and said, "This is a good thing." Qi'er, sister-in-law, what are you crying about, you have found your biological parents, isn't Qi'er a few more people who care for him?"

"That being said, Qi'er recognized her biological parents and will never be with us all the time since then. Wen said with a sob.

"Ahem, you Dao Qi'er is still a three-year-old child, and he is with you all day long? Now that he is in the court, even if he doesn't find his biological parents, he can't be with us every day. I want the younger brother to say, Qi'er has been with you since she was a child, and she has been under her knees for more than ten years, and you should be content. It's their biological parents, but they have come with tears in the past 20 years, and there is no joy for a day. Chen Xiangshan deliberately said this to relieve the depression of the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

When Chen Wenqi heard what the fifth uncle said, he suddenly thought of how his biological father and mother had survived the painful days for many years, and a sense of family affection arose. He wiped away his tears, walked to his parents and knelt down, and said:

"Father, mother, the grace of birth and nurturing, there is no severity, let alone intimacy. Today, knowing his biological parents, Qi'er should recognize each other. But the kindness of the second elder, Qi'er never forgets. From then on, Qi'er was born, Chen's surname did not change, and when he died, he was buried in Chen's grave. If her father and mother agree, Qi'er will follow her father to see her biological father, and if she doesn't agree, Qi'er will be afraid to obey. ”

When Wen Shi heard this, he immediately turned from sadness to joy, pulled Chen Wenqi over, and said softly: "Promise, promise, I'm afraid that you will change your surname for my mother." ”

Chen Ruishan glared at Wen and said, "You are happy, what about General Shen's husband and wife? It's not too early, Qi'er, let's go to the guest room first. Saying that, Bi pulled Chen Wenqi and walked towards the guest room with Chen Xiangshan.

The door of the guest room was closed, Chen Ruishan stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door twice, and shouted in a low voice: "General Shen, have you woken up?"

shouted three times in a row, but no one answered, Chen Ruishan gently pushed with his hand, and the door opened.

In the room, the bed sheets were stretched flat and neat, and the covers were stacked squarely, and Shen Qing's figure was nowhere to be seen.

The three of them guessed that he might have gone to morning exercise, and was about to go out to look for it, when they suddenly saw a piece of rice paper folded in half on the table, and when they opened it, it was a message written by Shen Qing:

"Brother Chen: I am in the next mundane affairs, please forgive me for not saying anything. What I talked about with my brother last night kept it in our hearts and never mentioned it again. Thank you for your hospitality. Shen Qing. ”
