Chapter 1,038 Recognition of Relatives
Updated today.
--------------------------
"Sister Xiao..." Looking at Xiao Yufang with an moved expression, Lin Yanqiu didn't know what to say. It turned out that she had misinterpreted this woman all along!
Before that, she felt that the other party was a selfish woman who took her child away and kept the child under her wings, hindering the child's development.
She felt that although the other party doted on Zhu Jianwen, it was not true love, but a kind of selfish possession. Now it seemed that she had really misunderstood this woman.
If you don't love your children to the core, how can you make such a choice now? Ask yourself, if it were her, she probably wouldn't be able to do this...
"Sister, it was my fault back then. It was precisely because I saw your hesitation that I took the child away in a hurry. Over the years, I have loved Jianwen so much. On the one hand, I really regard him as my biological son. On the other hand, it is to make up for one's own guilt.
I believe that as long as you stay for one more day, you will definitely take your children back. In comparison, living in a family like yours, your children will definitely get more.
It was precisely because of this worry that I wanted to be twice as kind to him. I stopped him from joining the army because I was worried that if something happened, it would really cut out a piece of flesh from my heart.
I have thought a lot these past few days, and I have really realized my selfishness. I am good to him, and I dote on him, all based on my own thoughts, and I have never thought about what he wants.
Seeing the shock on his face when he took the application form for military enlistment, I felt very sad. If he was allowed to stay in the Zhu family, he would be in shock for the rest of his life.
No matter whether he becomes a teacher or a soldier in the future. Let him return to a military family like yours, and I believe he will be happier. Sister, I'm sorry, it was all my fault in the past. I sincerely hope you can accept this child and treat him well.
As for what other people in the Zhu family think. You don't have to worry either. Before coming, our family discussed it and we all agreed. They didn't come over, it's because..." Biting her lip, Xiao Yufang's voice was choked, "It's because I'm not mentally prepared yet..." The voice behind it was completely replaced by the choking sound...
At this moment, Lin Yanqiu's mood also calmed down. Her thoughts naturally became clearer, and with a sigh, she took Xiao Yufang's hand: "Sister Xiao, thank you for coming to talk to me today.
I'll tell you the truth. I have often thought about him over the years. At the beginning, I did want to take the child back.
My father-in-law and my husband did go looking for it.
After they came back, they told me. The child was well taken care of, so I gave up the idea to avoid adding two lives. I had no choice but to compromise, but I always felt uncomfortable in my heart.
Therefore, when I learned about the child, I ran to see him immediately. Of course, I had no intention of winning him back, otherwise, I would not have asked my daughter-in-law to help.
After actually seeing him, I finally feel relieved. You have taught your children very well and are excellent in all aspects. I admire your decision very much. Even a biological mother may not be able to achieve such a great outcome like you. degree, but..."
After a pause, Lin Yanqiu continued, "The child is already nearly thirty years old. He has the right to make his own decisions. How to choose, let him make his own decisions, okay?"
…
The moment Zhu Jianwen walked into Zhou's house, Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou both "suddenly" stood up.
The daughter-in-law had already communicated the truth to them on the phone. Even though they were fully mentally prepared, they were still a little uncontrollably excited when they actually saw the child!
This child looks so much like Xiaomi that if you don't look carefully, you can't tell them apart. The two are basically carved from the same mold!
Seeing the old couple staring at him blankly, Zhu Jianwen's heart trembled. He had never doubted his life experience since he was a child, until Lin Yanqiu and Lin Chuxia went to find him a few days ago.
It would be a lie to say that he didn't have any doubts in his mind at that time. There are people who look similar in this world, but if they are similar to that extent, who would believe it if they said there was no relationship at all?
However, he couldn't bear to doubt his relatives, so he tried hard to convince himself that it was just a person similar to him.
However, because of that photo, the military dream buried deep in my heart was awakened again.
In fact, that night he found his mother standing at the door observing him through the crack in the door. However, because of the fear in his heart that he tried hard to suppress, he did not say hello to his mother.
A few days later, when he came home from get off work, he found that the whole family looked at him solemnly and said that they were going to have a small meeting. He had a vague premonition in his heart and wanted to refuse, but he was also looking forward to it.
As a result, he knew his true life experience. His parents and grandparents told him without any concealment. This also made him understand that he was not a child abandoned by his biological parents.
If we really want to investigate right and wrong, the mother's fault is greater, but the years of upbringing will never change just because the blood relationship ends.
As for whether the Zhu family would affect his future, he didn't care. Over the years, he had reached this point based on his own true ability. Although he had dreams of being a soldier, at this age, it seemed unrealistic.
Therefore, he bluntly rejected the proposal to return to the Zhou family.
However, even though he refused and returned to his room, it was difficult to calm down. If he was an abandoned child, he would not miss his biological parents at all, precisely because he knew that the other person had also been thinking about him. He was thinking about him, and then thought about the day when his biological mother went to find him, and there was a dull pain in his heart. Or was this a heart-to-heart connection between mother and son?
Then, the thought of seeing his biological mother again grew in his heart. Although he tried hard to control his emotions, his mother still saw it.
He could clearly see the sadness in his mother's eyes. Obviously, his actions made his mother uncomfortable, which made him even more conflicted and at a loss as to what to do.
Then one day, when he returned home, he found that there were two more people in the hall - his biological mother and sister-in-law who had tested him before.
In the end, the family reached a consensus that he would continue to stay in the Zhu family, and at the same time, he would also recognize himself as the Zhou family and move around with the Zhou family. From now on, he would be the son of the two families.
Until now, standing in the hall of the Zhou family, he still felt like he was dreaming. He had never thought that his true identity was like this. Even if he had never been in contact with a family of this level, just looking at the family's Looking at the layout and the magnanimity of his grandparents, he knew that for him, this was a side that he would never be able to touch.
This also made him understand why his mother, father, and grandparents were so insistent, and it also showed that they really loved him deeply, otherwise, they would probably never let him know about it for the rest of his life.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Mr. Zhou said hello three times. He stepped forward and put his arms around Zhu Jianwen's shoulders and patted him hard. "Good boy, I look so much like your brother. Come and sit here. Look, your grandma I was shocked when I saw you."
"Yes...yes..." Mrs. Zhou stepped forward and took Zhu Jianwen's hand with a trembling voice, "My child, I know you have lived a very good life these years, but grandma still doesn't trust you..."
"Grandpa, grandma, sit down and talk." Originally, he thought that he would be too nervous not to know what to say, but when he really opened his mouth, Zhu Jianwen discovered that he actually had an instinctive feeling of closeness to them.
"When you were young, your father and I met you..." After sighing, Mr. Zhou continued, "Originally, we wanted to bring you back, but your grandma and your mother protected you. You can tell by their looks that they really like you and won't treat you badly. Think about it, they are pitiful. If they really take you back, the family will probably collapse, so we came back empty-handed.
Over the years, I have thought about going over to see you, but every time I have been forced to suppress it, we are just afraid that we will not be willing to let you stay there after looking at it.
And to be honest, if you were brought home when you were young, your life might not be better than with your adoptive parents. Therefore, no matter when your child reaches your age, the people closest to you will be them. .
Of course, what grandpa said does not mean that the Zhou family disowns you. Grandpa can assure you that in this family, you and your eldest brother and second brother have the same position.
If your parents and grandparents over there don't have any objections, we can get together during the holidays. If they don't want to, you must stay with them..."
"Okay, okay..." Old Mrs. Zhou interrupted the old man impatiently, "The child just came in, and you gave him an education class..." She turned to look at her newly recognized eldest grandson with a doting look on her face. , "Jianwen, your father and your second uncle, second aunt, and third uncle will be back in the afternoon. My child, please don't misunderstand that they don't pay attention to you. There are really many things going on during this period, so it's hard to ask for leave and come back."
Zhu Jianwen quickly smiled and said: "Grandma, I know, I won't misunderstand. Besides, we will have plenty of time in the future, and we are not in a hurry right now, right?"
"Yes, we have just met, and grandma doesn't know your temper, so we should follow the principle that one sentence more is better than one sentence less, and try to avoid misunderstandings as much as possible. Don't think that grandma is being a heretic with you."
"Don't worry, I won't think too much about it..." While talking to the old lady, Zhu Jianwen's nervousness completely disappeared. To be honest, he had heard his parents and grandparents tell him about the Zhou family's background. After being fully prepared mentally, I didn’t expect that the old man and the old lady were as approachable as his grandparents! (To be continued)
