Qi Zheng hesitated for a moment, looked at his grandmother's loving face, bit his lips and said: "Grandma, someone came to me this morning and said she is my mother's mother."

Looking at his grandma's expression, his heart ached. His grandma's face was filled with disbelief, then with pain. Finally, she sighed as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders and said, "Qi Chang, where is he? Take me to see him."

"Grandma, I'm sorry," he said.

His grandma lovingly stroked his hair and said: "Qi Jing, you didn't do anything wrong. Don't apologize to others so easily."

Qi Chao said, "Grandma, it must be hard for you to let the past matter slip out, right?"

Grandma said, "What's there to feel uncomfortable about? It's been forty years already, and when I think about it, it feels like it just happened yesterday. When I meet him, I'll tell you all about what happened in the past."

After hastily eating dinner, Qi Zhengyuan and Wu Yuzheng accompanied his grandma to the F City Hotel. On the way, Wu Yuzheng whispered: "Do you think I know your family's biggest secret now?"

Qi Zhengyuan chuckled and said darkly, "Boy, you must pay attention to what you say from now on. Don't say anything that you shouldn't say. Be careful not to say anything that you shouldn't."

Wu Yuzheng shuddered and said: "I understand. I will follow your lead from now on."

Qi Xiang nodded his head in satisfaction. This kid really did know how to be flexible.

Grandma Song personally went to the lobby to meet her grandma. When the two old ladies met, she held her grandma's hand with tears in her eyes. She choked with sobs and said, "Thank you, thank you."

"It's not like I didn't find a family for my daughter, I just carried her home. I've been feeling guilty all these years, but I'm enjoying the blessings of other people's daughter," his grandma said.

Seeing the two old ladies holding hands and choking on their words, the uniformed man walked forward and held Granny Song's arm, saying, "Grandmother, let's go back to our room first. We should sit down and have a nice chat."

Grandma Song wiped her tears and nodded, "Let's go and have a good chat."

After everyone sat down, Grandma said, "It was not a good time to live at home for a few years. My child's father left his two children with his grandmother and went to the North Atlantic to earn money, and after three years, the money that he earned was washed away by the Yellow River. The child's father said that it was better to go home, since Imp could stay with his family's child, and we would take the train back to the city." On the way, a woman with a child in her arms got on the train and sat opposite us, a little girl of two or three years old with a red face. I couldn't bear to send the child to the orphanage. The father said, "Why don't we carry the child back and raise him? It's fate for us to meet like this, and maybe the child is destined to follow us, so we took the child to the train station in Beijing to buy a ticket home."

"Grandma, don't you think it's strange for you to bring my mother back to the village?"

"What's so strange about that? Your grandpa and I stayed in North Atlantic for three years, and when we first arrived in the northwest, some of the villagers didn't say anything else."

The uniformed man asked his grandmother, "Grandma, how did you lose my aunt?"

"That year, your grandpa was in the North Atlantic, and I took a few of our children to see him. The Yellow River broke its banks and there were refugees everywhere, so I carried your uncle and your eldest aunt, while your father carried your younger sister-in-law. When I found your father, he was the only one left, and we went from west to east and north to south.

His grandma said, "I kept the clothes well when I was young and was just waiting for her family to recognize me as a witness. Tomorrow, I'll go back and bring them back and tell her about this."

Grandma Song said, "No no, it's better if we go with you. The reason we called you is because you don't want us to come knocking on your door so recklessly. It's rude for us to accept that."

Grandma said, "Big Sis, your words are foreign. Let's go to the house tomorrow. The children at home are also calling for us to come back, so we can properly recognize you as our grandmother."

Grandma Song said, "Our hometown calls you 'Grandma', so it's better for the children to call you Grandma."

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries and making plans for the next day, Qi Biao and his grandma returned home.

After entering the room, Grandma sat on the sofa with a cup of water. She held Grandma's arm and said, "Grandma, don't worry. We will be more filial to you in the future."

Grandma said, "I'm not worried that you won't be filial to me. I'm trying to tell your mother what to do."

Qi Xiang said, "Why don't you call my mom first and let her prepare her mind? This is all a matter of fact. Furthermore, my dad will have to bring Qi Yuan back with him tomorrow. I still have to take him back tomorrow morning."

Grandma sighed and said, "I'm afraid that your mother would feel terrible. She has been called 'Mother' for more than forty years, but she's not your own mother."

Qi Xiang said, "My mom is so happy. How much better have you treated her than my aunt all these years? You have a mother that you've been looking for all these years."

Grandma said, "Then I'll give your mom a call first. We only need these people to know about it. No one is allowed to talk about it with your uncle. If they do, who knows what will happen?"

Qi Xiang said, "Alright, alright, alright. Then tell my aunt as well. Grandma, you treat my mother so well."

Grandma said, "I have to be honest with myself. It's not like you didn't see how filial your mother is to me. If it weren't for your mother and your aunt, I could have lived like this without a hitch all these years."

Grandma called her home and told Mother Qi what had happened. Mother Qi immediately cried on the other side of the phone. Grandma said painfully, "What are you crying for? Mother knows it's been hard on you these years. Didn't your own family come to look for you?"

Mama Qi cried, "Mother, how can you just admit it, you won't say they mistook you, you're my mother."

Grandma said, "I heard she tested you with her blood. You're her daughter, and what's wrong with your mother finding you?"

Mrs Qi said, "You are my mother, I don't recognize anyone else."

Grandma coughed a few times and said, "Little girl, mother has always wanted to find your mother for you. If it wasn't for the difficulties in finding them, you would have had several children yourself. It's not easy to conceive in October, and it's even more difficult to have a child. Little girl, it's not easy for your mother to find you. It's been so many years since we've had so much to look for each other, and I finally found you. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it, so why don't you find me first.

The other end of the phone went silent. Grandma sighed and said, "Call her father, bring Qi Yuan with you tomorrow morning. Then your mother, go to your parents' place tonight and explain the situation to them. Tomorrow morning, go to the streets and buy some food."

The next morning, Qi Xiang went to Qi Xiang's school to request for a leave of absence. Qi San even complained when he came out, it was only a few days away from the exam. What was there to rush for?

He got on the car and looked at his grandma, asking curiously, "Grandma, why are you here? Didn't my sister say she was going to call me home?"

Grandma said, "There are some matters at home, so we all have to go back. It's just for a day."

Qi San looked at his grandma's face, but didn't see any color. He held her arm and said in a low voice, "Grandmother, tell me, what is it?"

Grandma said: "There are relatives coming to get married. You and your brother have to go back to see relatives."

Qi Yun said, "Grandma, what relatives? Why would they come here to marry? Grandma, tell me."

His grandma pretended to be angry as she patted him on the arm. "You'll know when the time comes."

It wasn't long before they reached home, Mrs Qi had already gone shopping on the street, and her grandparents had all come over. Grandma waited until her grandma entered the door before holding her grandma's hand and said, "Grandma, I've heard a lot from her mother. We've all seen what you've done over the years, you're such a good person."

"I've enjoyed my daughter's blessings all these years. Sister-in-law, to tell you the truth, I immediately felt at ease that there were so many family members who could be found. His father even told me about it before he left, and told her that I couldn't find her for myself. If she could find her way, she would come to our grave and tell her parents about it."

Qi Chao went to the kitchen to help his mother pick vegetables and cut meat. Seeing his mother's expressionless face, he said, "Mom, are you unhappy?"

Mother Qi snappily replied, "What's there to be happy about? Your grandma treated me so well. She's not my biological mother."

His grandma was talking to his grandma, while Wu Yuzheng went to his sister's house. He went upstairs to his sister's room early in the morning and didn't know what to do, then whispered to his mother: "Mom, why do you think that? My grandma said that you have to happily entertain your own mother today, and my grandma also said that it's not easy for my grandma to find you all these years. Why did you get a horn from my grandma?"

Seeing that his mother did not say anything, he said in unison, "Mom, do you know how happy you are? My grandma has brought you home all these years, and she's always treated you better than my uncle, my uncle's, and my aunt, right? "My grandma lost you for so many years, yet she still did not give up on you. You enjoyed two motherly loves by yourself, go and ask around, is there anyone as fortunate as you?"

Mama Qi said, "I have your grandma and everyone in our family, but where do you think I should put my mother?"
