On January 29, 1990, Li's mother took her second son, who had just been born for three months, to her parents' house for a wedding drink.
On the way, I was worried that the child would freeze or get cold wind, so I wrapped him in a thick quilt along the way.
After arriving at the destination, it was late, and Li's mother, who was tired of traveling, rested early.
When she was sleeping in a daze at two o'clock that night, she reached out and touched the child, feeling a chill welling up in her heart.
Realizing that the situation was wrong, she quickly turned on the light in the dark, and saw that the child's lips were purple and his whole body was cold.
didn't have time to get dressed, she hurriedly went downstairs with the child in her arms, and stood in the living room at a loss and yelled: ".Something is wrong with the second son!
Hearing the movement, the mother and younger brother ran out of the room one after another, only to see that Li's mother was already crying out of breath, and the pulse of the second son in her arms was weak.
Still crying around 11 o'clock, I got up and changed his diaper and fed him, and it would be fine. ”
Mother Li never imagined that in just two or three hours, the healthy and lively child would become dying.
This sudden change caught the whole family off guard, and Li's mother's younger brother quickly took the swaddling clothes and put his hand in front of the child's nose.
And breathing, send to the hospital quickly. ”
The younger brother ran away, and his mother settled the heartbroken Mother Li, who also tied her headscarf and brought good things to follow.
When the day dawned, the younger brother and his mother returned home disappointed, and they brought a bad news: "The second son is too weak and has unfortunately died." ”
Li's mother broke down emotionally, and sat on the ground weakly, she clutched her aching heart tightly, and tears dripped down her legs.
After the child's death, the mother was afraid that her daughter would be sad, so she took it upon herself to abandon the child to a hidden place.
This is also a superstitious saying in the countryside, fearing that the deceased baby will backlash and hurt his mother.
Heartbroken, Li's mother returned to her in-law's house and told her husband the ins and outs of the matter.
Who knew that her husband was not angry, and comforted him gently: "It's okay, don't be angry, there will be it in the future." ”
The death of the child was too big a blow for both families, so that Li's mother treated her eldest daughter Zhang Xiaojiao and her younger son who was born later with great love and care.
Twenty-one years have passed, and twenty-two-year-old Zhang Xiaojiao has reached the age of talking about marriage, but her boyfriend Xiao Jiang, who she really loves, was opposed by her uncle.
The reason turned out to be that he looked too much like his third brother, and he suspected that he was the second son of the third brother who had been dead for many years.
How is it possible for a child to come back from the dead? Why did the uncle suspect that the two were brothers and sisters and insisted on breaking up with them? What secrets were hidden twenty-one years ago?
It all started when Zhang Xiaojiao took Xiao Jiang home to meet her parents.
"Mom, I'm in love. One day in 2011, Zhang Xiaojiao called her mother with great interest and told the whole family the exciting news.
Mother Li smiled from ear to ear, thinking that she had been urging marriage for so long, and it had finally worked.
You'll have to find a time to take it home and we'll take care of it for you. ”
yes, yes, if it's not good for you, that stinky boy will die. ”
Uncle Zhang Baoli also echoed beside him, and the family joked with the shy Zhang Xiaojiao and discussed the etiquette on the day of the meeting.
After agreeing on a suitable date, Zhang Xiaojiao and Xiao Jiang brought gifts and rushed back to their hometown in Suqian without stopping for a moment.
Li's mother got up early in the morning to clean up and brought fresh vegetables back from the field again and again.
The cooking smoke was everywhere, the pots and pans were thumping, the Zhang family seemed to be as lively as the New Year, and Li's mother asked "where is it" while stir-frying.
The two appeared at the end of the road with large bags and small bags, Zhang Xiaojiao and her boyfriend looked at the lanterns hanging at home in surprise, and thought: "It's so weird, this is too earthy."
When the Zhang family saw them appear, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and introduced themselves awkwardly to each other.
Eat more, you'll be hungry on the road. Mother Li sandwiched a bowl full of braised pork to Xiao Jiang, which caused a sigh from everyone.
Mom is eccentric and only gives it to her brother-in-law. ”
Mom turned her elbow outward, she had never been so kind to us before. ”
As soon as the sister and brother sang and harmonized, Li's mother stretched out her hand to beat the two, and the atmosphere of the dinner heated up sharply in happiness.
The Zhang family is quite satisfied with Zhang Xiaojiao's boyfriendJust when everyone was immersed in happiness, Zhang Baoli's appearance broke the tranquility and made everyone on the scene chew wax.
As soon as he was busy with farm work, he rushed to the third brother's house, and just before the meal was over, Li's mother beckoned him to sit down and served him a big bowl of white rice.
Zhang Baoli took it and pulled it up in a hurry, and when he was full, he looked up at Xiao Jiang, and suddenly froze as if he had been stimulated, and the chopsticks in his hand fell on the table involuntarily.
What for? Surprised, eat well. Mother Li picked up the chopsticks and stuffed them to Zhang Baoli with dissatisfaction.
Zhang Baoli smiled weakly, but he couldn't swallow the delicious food on the table anymore, Zhang Xiaojiao also noticed his uncle's abnormality, and hurriedly asked him what was wrong.
He just shook his head, and without saying a word, picked up the lighter and walked outside the door to smoke.
One, two, three, the soot all over the ground was blown away by the wind, Zhang Baoli hesitated, pushed the door open again and walked into the house.
"You two break up, I don't agree with you being together. ”
In the stunned eyes, Zhang Baoli pulled his niece and was about to go out, Zhang Xiaojiao desperately broke free, and she was also bored with this uncle who loved her in the past.
Mother Li hurriedly stepped forward to block in front of the child, and between several people pushing and pushing, Xiao Jiang pounced on his knees and begged.
Uncle, please don't break us up, we really love each other, if there is something that is not done well, I will definitely change. ”
Li's mother also loudly scolded Zhang Baoli for being nervous, and the good meeting turned into a farce.
I didn't agree, so I quickly broke up and broke up this bad relationship. Zhang Baoli threw down this sentence fiercely and walked away.
After everyone went to sleep, Li's mother comforted her daughter"Uncle must not have taken a fancy to Xiao Jiang, don't take it to heart." ”
Zhang Xiaojiao naturally doesn't have the same knowledge as this elder, it's just what Zhang Baoli saidBad fateIt kept circling back and forth in her mind.
Early the next morning, Li's mother got up and was about to throw some grass to feed the cows, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw Zhang Baoli sitting on the stone bench at the door.
He walked into the house without saying a word, his eyes glazed on the sofa, and Li's mother called him several times but did not get an answer.
Zhang Xiaojiao quickly got up after hearing the voice, and came to the living room unkempt wrapped in a coat.
"Xiaojiao, I'm for your good, you hurry up and break off Xiao Jiang. Zhang Baoli stared at his niece firmly: "He may be your own brother." ”
No way. Zhang Xiaojiao shook her head again and again, her face full of disbelief.
"It's true, he looks a lot like your father, and it may be your dead second brother ......”
Zhang Xiaojiao covered her ears with a headache, unwilling to listen to any more nonsense, and then found an excuse to run out of the house to wash, and Zhang Baoli also came out and kept thinking next to her.
Annoyed, she fled directly back to her room, locked the door, and returned home disappointed after eating the closed door.
Just when everyone thought that the uncle was joking, and the matter had come to an end, Zhang Xiaojiao accidentally discovered that Zhang Baoli was actually investigating Xiao Jiang's family information.
After that, he talked about the breakup in front of the couple several times, and the Zhang family was turned upside down, and Li's mother was also miserable.
This long-sealed memory was opened in this way, and the heartache of the past flashed like a movie.
Although she admits that Xiao Jiang is indeed very similar to her husband, her second son died twenty-one years ago, and she believes that her parents and younger brother will not lie to her, and she is sure that people will not come back from the dead.
Zhang Xiaojiao was frightened by her uncle's madness, and before she saw all her relatives, she blacked out her uncle's *** and rushed back to work with Xiao Jiang.
Without Zhang Baoli's interruption, the relationship between the two was still sweet, but the uncle's words were like a thorn in his heart, and no one wanted to mention marriage after that.
can't get through**, and can't find anyone, Zhang Baoli is very anxious, no matter what, before the matter has a result, he must stop them from continuing to communicate.
After asking around, Zhang Baoli learned his niece's work address, and he took the car to his destination alone.
Your uncle is here. Mother Li hurriedly called ** to report the news.
Zhang Xiaojiao hesitated again and again, and after discussing with Xiao Jiang, she made the decision to leave.
Zhang Baoli came to his niece's company in the dust, but learned that she had resigned and left not long ago, Zhang Baoli did not hesitate too much, and found the restaurant where Xiao Jiang worked after a few tosses.
Three days ago, he resigned, and he didn't say what the specific reason was. The restaurant manager took out the resignation letter and sent it to Zhang Baoli for checking.
Did he say where he would go after he resigned? ”
The restaurant manager shook his head, Xiao Jiang didn't make it clear at the time, and they didn't want to ask too much about other people's private affairs.
Zhang Baoli, who looked disappointed, walked out of the door, he walked on the street in a trance, looking at the crowd coming and going, and his heart was full of thoughts.
Unable to bear the psychological pressure, he almost fainted, and finally came to the commissary with a sigh of relief, and trembled and took out a yuan to buy a bottle of mineral water, and the pale lip color changed after drinking it in a big gulp.
Zhang Baoli suddenly thought of Wang Juan, a friend from the same village mentioned by his niece, who also works in this city, and he called Wang Juan's parents.
Under the guidance of the company's security guard, he came to Wang Juan's company, Wang Juan had already heard the rumors in the village, and she patiently received Zhang Baoli.
"Uncle, don't worry, I remember that Xiaojiao told me when she left that she was going to Nanjing to play, you can see if you can find them over there.
Zhang Baoli thanked him again and again, but Nanjing is so big, and there is not much money left, how can he find it in the vast sea of people?
There was no way, Zhang Baoli could only return to the village in frustration, and plucked up the courage to find Li's mother, who ** Xiaojiao most likely had contact with his mother.
"The third sister-in-law, the second son may not be dead. ”Zhang Baoli's tone was earnest, hoping that she could help find the child together.
When the situation can be salvaged, the two should be quickly found to do a kinship evaluation, so that the dust can settle on this matter.
Li's mother retreated again and again, muttering "impossible" in her mouth, she remembered very well the situation when the child was taken away, and there was no place to go around.
But Zhang Baoli's persistence also aroused a glimmer of hope in Li's mother's heart, if the child really did not die, and was resurrected after being discarded, then how hard he would have lived outside all these years.
Li's mother hurriedly found her younger brother to ask about the details of the year, and also explained all the difficulties she encountered now.
"When the child was taken to Yanghua Hospital, the doctor had already determined that he was dead. The younger brother patted his chest and made a guarantee.
The doctor listened to the stethoscope for a while, and then opened the eyes of the second son to check, and found that the child's pupils were dilated and he was not breathing, so he came to a conclusion.
After being discharged from the hospital, I was worried that Li's mother would be too sadThe younger brother and Li's mother left the child on the river beach east of the hospital.
Speaking of the past, the whole family turned around and touched their tears, and just when everyone was planning to stop tracking, Zhang Baoli, who inquired about Xiao Jiang's life experience, brought unexpected news.
"Xiao Jiang is not the biological son of the Jiang family, he was given to the Jiang family by a family surnamed Wang in Yanghua Town, Suqian City. ”
After listening to Zhang Baoli's narration, Li's mother trembled in her heart, and she thought: "Could it be that the child who was abandoned back then is really still alive?" ”
Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, Xiao Jiang's birth date and second son can match, and it is said that Xiao Jiang is also an abandoned baby picked up by the family surnamed Wang.
Mother Li's heart began to waver, everyone's breathing became rapid, and she felt that the truth and facts that were about to come out were about to be placed in front of her.
But these are impossible to verify, and on the premise of not violating common sense and harming the two children, where to start has become a thorny problem.
After discussion, the two families decided to go to Wang's house to find out first, as long as Xiao Jiang's life experience was found out, everything could be revealed.
"No, I only have four daughters. "The Queen Mother didn't know anything about picking up the child.
She denied Zhang Baoli's suspicions, although she has always wanted to raise a boy all these years, but sometimes she has to have it in her life, and she has always been very open to this kind of thing.
Mother Li, who was sitting on the sofa of the Wang family, became excited after hearing this, and Zhang Baoli also looked around nervously.
Suddenly, he saw a pressed student card under the glass of the desk, it was a boy, and the suspicion in his heart increased a little.
The Wang family's student card ** came, what are they hiding? Zhang Baoli checked carefully and found that the boy and the second son did not match their age.
Li's mother felt that there would be no result if she asked any more, and they were suspected of giving the child away, but the Wang family refused to admit it, so they could only go home and discuss a solution.
Grandma Luo, she should know about this. From other villagers, Li's mother heard about Grandma Luo, who is a Chinese medicine acupuncture practitioner.
Her medical skills are particularly famous in ten miles and eight towns, and many children's incurable diseases have shown signs of improvement under her wonderful rejuvenation.
If the second son is picked up, he will most likely be taken to her side to receive **.
It doesn't seem like there's such a thing, I can't remember exactly, it's been too long. Grandma Luo waved her hand, trying to remember that she had never remembered such a child.
Mother Li's mood fell to the bottom again, she experienced all kinds of ups and downs, her heart became extremely heavy, and she had nowhere to vent her sorrow, and she sat on the ground and cried.
Now that all the clues are interrupted and there is no news from my daughter, it is difficult to find out about this matter.
"Child, don't worry, I heard from the villagers who came to see the doctor that the Wang family had sent a child to the family surnamed Li, you go and see. ”
In order to find out the truth, Li's mother and her party went to Li's house again, and in the face of the gray-haired old man, Li's mother still couldn't bear to come forward and question.
In the end, it was the daughter-in-law of the Li family who clarified it with her mother-in-law before she told Li's mother about the matterIt is true that they once received a child.
But it was not a boy, but a girl, the daughter of the second daughter of the Wang family, and the age of the child described by Li's mother did not match.
They helped raise the child for a while, because the child's mother had dementia and did not have enough financial **, and after thinking twice, the child was given awayLu Ji is a family surnamed Cai.
At this point, Li's mother and Zhang Baoli returned home disappointed, and they didn't have the heart to continue to investigate where Xiao Jiang was brought by the Jiang family.
They never mentioned the matter of their second son again, and everyone immersed themselves in the farm work in the field, so as not to let their thoughts relax for a moment.
But Zhang Xiaojiao's ** call still brought the two back to reality, Li's mother knew where her daughter was, but in order not to hurt her, she had been lying that she didn't know.
For today's plan, it is safest to do a kinship test, Li's mother was ruthless, and she took out the specific address from her daughter's mouth.
Zhang Baoli immediately set off for Nanjing, and in the light-filled street, he grabbed his niece's arm and dragged her home with great force.
Xiao Jiang protected his girlfriend and kept saying good words and persuasions, and several people pulled up on the road where people came and went.
You two come back with me, just do an appraisal. Zhang Baoli jumped anxiously.
Zhang Xiaojiao was unmoved, in her opinion, her brother died twenty-one years ago, and her uncle's behavior was completely superfluous.
Even when the situation was deadlocked, Xiao Jiang also slowly told him about his adoption, he heard his mother say that he did pick it up, and that family had four daughters.
But soon after, a son was born in his family, so he was sent to the Jiang family and lived with the Jiang family.
Zhang Baoli was shocked, exactly the same as she expected in her heart, Zhang Xiaojiao was also up and down, too many coincidences made her temporarily put aside her children's love and went to the appraisal center with her uncle.
"I remember that there was a red mole on the ear of the second son, do you have an ear? ”Mother Li hugged her daughter who was in a trance and looked at Xiao Jiang with pity in her eyes.
I can't remember, I haven't looked at it carefully, I shouldn't have it. Xiao Jiang leaned his head in front of Li's mother.
Li's mother opened her hair, looked left and right, and still couldn't find the little red mole, maybe it had dissipated after too long.
When everyone concluded that Xiao Jiang was the second son, the appraisal results came as scheduled, and the appraisal results showedThe two are not sisters and brothers.
Zhang Xiaojiao was resurrected with full blood and hugged her boyfriend tightly, which also made the relationship between the two better, and the marriage was smoothly put on the agenda.
This oolong incident also has a final result, Li's mother and Zhang Baoli are no longer obsessed with the past, they let go of the past and actively face their future lives.
Xiao Jiang's background is still a mystery, and Li's mother firmly believes that if the second son is still alive, he will definitely come to find his biological self.
