Chapter 43 epilogue two

A cool afternoon. Gu Qing had a rare half-day leisure, where he could sit quietly by the window and make himself a cup of coffee.While looking at the bustling crowd outside the window, Gu Qing suddenly had a thought that he had never thought of before. Why don't you go and see Song Qiaozhi's adoptive parents?After all, they were the ones who raised her sister. Calling a friend in the Public Security Bureau, Song Qiaozhi's home address was quickly found out. Gu Qing followed the map and came to a residential area on the edge of the city. After checking the address in his hand again, Gu Qing rang the doorbell.

A gray-haired old woman opened the door. "You are?" "Old man, I'm a colleague from Song Qiaozhi's company. I came here to see you and bring her unfinished wages." "Oh... come in!" The furnishings in the room are very simple, there is still a single bed in a sunny room, the old man seems to be still waiting for Song Qiaozhi to come back. Gu Qing chatted with the old lady for a while, then put the prepared five thousand yuan on the coffee table. "Alas... my daughter is too free-wheeling, she leaves as soon as she wants, and doesn't leave a letter... It makes you troublesome." The old man sighed.

"Old man, is your daily living expenses enough?" "Enough is enough. Qiaozhi arranged for us a long time ago. She took out a sum of money and helped us buy two houses on this floor. We live in one and the other Rent it out, the rent is enough for us two old people to live. She often talks about leaving this city, probably has found a good place to live, and doesn’t want to come back.” "I heard... Qiaozhi is your adopted daughter?" "Yeah...it happened more than 30 years ago. At that time, the guy in my family would go out to set up a stall every day to repair bicycles for others. He usually took the main road, but that day he suddenly took a small road around the river on a whim. I picked up a girl in the grass by the side of the road. We couldn’t have children, so we raised this girl as our own daughter. We are all uneducated, so I asked a gentleman to choose the girl’s name. The gentleman said that I Kouzi happened to pick up the baby girl when he walked to the river, so he named her Qiaozhi. As for Dezhi, when she grew up, she thought the name didn’t look like a girl’s name, so she changed it to Qiaozhi herself. Juvenile..."

When the old man talked about the past, he chattered endlessly. "Qiaozhi's biological parents are so cruel, they just threw the child by the side of the road." "Oh... don't say that, in that turbulent era, anything could happen. I saw the photos of them in their infancy. Both of them looked like educated scholars. If there were no real difficulties, who would be willing to put themselves Throwing away the child? It’s only pity that Song Qiaozhi has to keep up with poor people like us and suffer.” The old man took out the photo that appeared with Song Qiaozhi from the back room, and handed it to Gu Qing.

The photos are in black and white, the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, this is the first time Gu Qing sees such young parents, he can't help feeling a little emotional.But what was the reason that made them cruelly abandon their first child back then, I'm afraid there will never be an answer... Jingle... The doorbell suddenly rang. "Is uncle back?" Gu Qing asked. "No, he will use the key to open the door when he comes back. Most likely, the kid who rented the house opposite is here. That kid is a doctor and lives here alone." The old man got up to open the door, and a young man came in with a big carp in his hand.

"Auntie, I bought two fish today. I can't eat so much by myself. You can take one." "Yo, what a shame..." "You're welcome, aunt, I'm often taken care of by you here, what's the point of honoring two old people and a fish?" The old man happily carried the fish into the kitchen, but he didn't notice that Gu Qing, who was standing by the sofa, had a strange expression on his face. "Liu Tianming?" Gu Qing couldn't help but took a step forward and called out. The man glanced at Gu Qing, a little strange. "Sorry, miss, my name is not Liu Tianming."

Gu Qing shook his head vigorously, and then took a closer look, only to be sure that the man standing in front of him was indeed not Liu Tianming.Although they looked very similar, this man was obviously more bookish than Liu Tianming, but lacked a little of Liu Tianming's heroic spirit. "I'm sorry... I recognized the wrong person." Gu Qing was a little embarrassed, but also very surprised. Is there anyone in the world who looks so similar? She couldn't help asking: "Do you... have a twin brother?" "Ah? This... maybe I have to ask my mother? Maybe... there is another brother in this world that I don't know? Hehe..." The man rubbed his nose with a smile.

Gu Qing was shocked, why does this sentence sound so familiar? "Excuse me, what is your last name?" "Ah, your surname is Liu, Liu Tianying." Tears welled up in Gu Qing's eyes, startling Liu Tianying. "You... are you okay?" "It's okay...the sand fell into the eyes..." Gu Qing lowered his head and rubbed his eyes vigorously, but the tears fell disobediently, and he couldn't stop...
