Chapter 74 Recognition
Mother Lin woke up at 6:30 in the morning, but Lin Xi was still sleeping. She got up carefully, and as soon as she finished washing, Lin Xi woke up.
"Mom, why did you get up so early?"
"I can't sleep. It's still early. You can sleep a little longer and I'll go for a walk and buy you breakfast by the way."
"Ah."
Mother Lin went out, and Lin Xi fell asleep again with her hands on the quilt.
Lin Xi didn't wake up until almost eight o'clock. She went back to her room to wash up, change clothes, and prepare to sign in.
"Tiantian, sign in."
"Ding, on the 49th day of signing in, you will be rewarded with a booklet of etiquette."
Lin Xi picked up the jade slip with ease, put it close to her eyebrows, and quickly absorbed it. Lin Xi didn't realize that her temperament suddenly became very dignified and elegant. Every move of the noble ladies and ladies in the jade slips was imprinted in her mind, and Lin Xi naturally showed it. This encyclopedia of manners not only includes etiquette, manners and makeup from ancient times to the present, but also includes foreign ones, and covers a comprehensive range of occasions.
"Tiantian, why are you rewarding me with this now?"
"The people you interact with are different now, so of course your behavior must keep up. I don't want you to be laughed at."
Indeed, Lin Xi sometimes still feels a little overwhelmed when dealing with people of Li Xiao's class, but now she can deal with it easily.
After signing in, Lin Xi went to the lobby and saw breakfast on the table, but Lin's mother was not there. Lin Xi searched around and found Mother Lin in the small garden.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"Get up. I took a look around this house and took it for a walk. Is Xiaotian up?"
"not yet."
The mother and daughter walked towards the hall as they talked.
"You eat first, I'll wake Xiaotian up, otherwise it will be too late."
"Ah."
Lin Xi was eating breakfast, and soon after Lin's mother and Lin Tian came over. By the time Lin Tian finished his breakfast, it was already 8:40.
The three of them sat in the hall chatting, waiting for Li Xiao to pick them up.
Lin Tian: "Mom, are you nervous?"
Mother Lin: "A little bit."
Lin Tian: "Why am I so nervous?"
Mother Lin and Lin Xi couldn't help laughing when they saw Lin Tian fidgeting.
Lin Xi: "Why are you nervous?"
Lin Tian retorted: "Sister, those are our grandparents. I have never met them. I heard from Brother Xiao yesterday that I feel that my grandpa is a bit fierce. I don't know if they like me."
Seeing Lin Tian's aggrieved look, Lin Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandpa is actually a very nice person."
Lin Tian squeezed next to Lin Xi: "Sister, tell me, what was it like when you saw your grandparents last time?"
Lin Xi saw Mother Lin looking at her and was about to say something when the phone rang.
"you arrived?"
"Ah."
"Then we'll come out right away."
Lin Xi hung up and said, "Mom, Xiaotian, let's go, Li Xiao is already here."
When the three of them arrived at the door, they saw Li Xiao's car parked at the door.
Li Xiao: "Get in the car."
Lin Tian was sitting in the passenger seat, and Lin Xi was accompanying Lin's mother in the back. Lin Xi could clearly feel that Mother Lin was getting more and more nervous, and her whole body was tense. She held Mother Lin's hand and felt Mother Lin's cold sweat break out.
"Mom, don't be too nervous, Xiaotian and I are both here."
"Ah."
Lin Xi felt that Mother Lin was relaxing a little, but she was still nervous. However, Lin Xi didn't say anything more and just silently held Mother Lin's hand.
The destination was soon reached, and Lin Xi helped Lin's mother get out of the car. Li Xiao knocked on the door, and Lin Xi felt that Mother Lin grabbed her hand tightly.
After about two minutes, the door opened.
Han Chengde held Mei Yulan's hand and stood in the door. Their eyes immediately caught sight of Mother Lin standing behind Li Xiao. Mother Lin also looked at them. She saw two old men supporting each other, with a lot of their hair turning white. Mei Yulan clearly looked sick. It is said that no matter how old a man is, he will not cry easily, but Mother Lin saw tears shining in Han Chengde's eyes. Mei Yulan couldn't help it anymore and her tears were already flowing down. The moment Mother Lin saw the two old people, she couldn't stop crying. These were her parents. The bond of blood is so magical. Mother Lin's complicated mood before was completely gone, and the eyes of the two elders were full of surprise and love for seeing their daughter.
At this moment, no one spoke. Li Xiao still felt that it was not okay to stand at the door all the time.
Li Xiao: "Uncle Han, how about we go in and talk."
Han Chengde's voice was a little choked: "Yes."
Several people arrived in the room quickly. Lin Xi and Lin Tian sat on one side next to Mother Lin. Lin Xi saw that Mei Yulan wanted to sit next to Mother Lin, so she asked Lin Tian to sit next to her.
Lin Xi: "Grandma, please sit here."
Mei Yulan couldn't help but laugh when she heard Lin Xi call her grandma.
Neither of them had met before, and neither of them knew how to speak. Li Xiao said, "Uncle Han, Aunt Mei, you have met Xixi. That is Xixi's brother Lin Tian, and this is Aunt Han Xuerong."
When Aunt Mei heard the name, her tears that had just stopped flowed down again, and this time she burst into tears: "You are my daughter, and my daughter's name is Han Xuerong."
Mother Lin couldn't help but hold Mei Yulan's hand, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and burst into tears. Han Chengde couldn't help but wipe his tears.
The three young people were also very moved. Lin Xi secretly wiped her tears when she saw such a scene, but she also always paid attention to the condition of the two elders, fearing that they would become unwell.
Seeing that Mother Lin and the two elders had been crying for a long time, Lin Xi went over to support Mother Lin and Mei Yulan: "Mom, grandma is getting old, so let's sit and have a good chat."
Lin Tian comforted Mother Lin and sat down, and Lin Xi also helped the two elders sit down, but Mei Yulan held Mother Lin's hand and refused to let go.
After comforting the three elders, Lin Xicai said: "Grandpa and grandma, when I first met you, I thought you were very similar to my mother. Later, I asked Li Xiao to help take your hair for a paternity test. This is the test report. "
Lin Xi took out the appraisal report and handed it to Han Chengde. Li Xiao had also told the two elders before that in fact, the moment they saw Mother Lin, the two elders were sure that this was their daughter.
Han Chengde: "Good boy, thanks to you, our family can meet again."
Lin Xi: "This is what I should do."
Han Chengde: "Child, where did you live before?"
Lin Xi: "We have been living in Rongcheng before. My mother grew up in an orphanage in Rongcheng. Later, she got married and gave birth to Xiaotian and me. Later, I bought a house in Mocheng and took my mother to Mocheng. .”
Han Chengde: "It turns out to be Rongcheng."
Han Chengde first searched for him in the capital, and then spread to the whole country. However, the capital and Chengdu were too far apart, and information transmission was not very convenient at that time. No wonder he could not find it.
Lin Xi: "Grandpa, how did my mother get lost back then?"
Although Han Chengde is old, he always remembers the incident of his daughter getting lost very clearly: "That day happened to be Xuerong's third birthday. We invited relatives and friends to celebrate together. I was cooking in the kitchen, and Yulan came in to help me. Xuerong was playing outside with a few children. When the food was ready and relatives and friends were sitting at the table, Xuerong was missing. We asked several children who were playing with Xuerong, but they said they hadn’t seen him either. When they arrived, they were playing hide-and-seek, and Xuerong couldn’t be found after hiding. Later, we searched all the places around but couldn’t find it, and Xuerong never came back again.”
When Han Chengde spoke again, he couldn't help but shed tears, and his tone sounded like he was blaming himself.
Mei Yulan: "It's all my fault that I didn't think highly of Xuerong, so Xuerong got lost."
Han Chengde held Mei Yulan's hand: "If you want to blame it, blame me too."
The other four people looked at the two elders like this and knew that they must have spent so many years in self-blame. Fortunately, they recognized each other now, otherwise the two elders would have left with responsibility and regret.
From what Han Chengde said, Lin Xi estimated that Lin's mother was abducted by human traffickers and brought to Rongcheng, but why was she finally put at the door of the orphanage instead of sold?
Han Chengde looked at Mother Lin: "My child, I'm sorry, you have been wronged for so many years."
Mei Yulan: "My child, will you forgive us?"
Mother Lin nodded. Now that she knew the truth, she completely accepted the two elders in her heart. Mother Lin did not pretend to be pretentious and said directly: "Mom, Dad, you have worked hard these years."
Mei Yulan cried and laughed excitedly when she heard Mrs. Lin call her mom, and Han Chengde couldn't help but smile.
When Lin Xi and Lin Tian heard their mother calling their parents, they also shouted formally: "Grandpa, grandma."
The two agreed, "Hey, hey, they are both good kids."
The family finally recognized each other. Mei Yulan kept asking Lin's mother to talk, and Lin's mother also told her her own experience. Han Chengde sat quietly beside the mother and daughter, and Lin Xi and Lin Tian took turns. Talking to him about family affairs makes the whole family happy.
