Chapter 38 All encounters in life are reunions after a long absence

Chen Nan was a little puzzled. He and Aunt Wang were just met with each other, and they were not very close friends. Moreover, he was not a teacher and could not take care of Aunt Wang's son. It was reasonable and there was no need for the other party to be so kind to him.

But he still politely invited Aunt Wang in, not only because he had saved him, but also because he had an indescribable affection for the middle-aged woman, familiar but unfamiliar, as if he had met again after a long time.

Aunt Wang walked into the house and was a little embarrassed because she saw Liu Ting. Time flies and years pass by. Liu Ting was no longer the young girl she used to be, but her face and outline were not much different from that of that year. Moreover, her demeanor and dressing all showed that she was Chen Nan's adoptive mother.

Chen Nan introduced: "Mom, this is Aunt Wang, I mentioned to you, a student parent. Fortunately, she reported the message in time, otherwise I would be done."

Liu Ting quickly greeted: "Thank you, sit down quickly, I'll pour you water."

Hongyu didn't expect Liu Ting to be there, her plan was disrupted, and her prepared words were ruined, and she was panicked. But when she thought that Chen Nan was her own flesh and blood, her courage came up again, and she sat down calmly and chatted with Liu Ting and laughed.

Liu Ting said: "You are really, and you are still bringing things. I'm so embarrassed. We should be here to thank you."

Hongyu said: "You are so polite. It's just a simple task. The child is innocent. How can he be so wronged? I am also a mother and I am the most shameful person."

Liu Ting got up and took an apple and started peeling it. She asked casually: "How old is your child?"

Hongyu said: "It's my third year of high school."

Liu Ting said: "That was born in 1938. I was really guilty of having a child that year." At this moment, she was thinking of Chen Jiao, who was born in the same year. This child is also in his third year of high school this year.

Hongyu said: "That's not the case. The child was born in an air-raid shelter underground in Beitai City Hall, so he was named Beitai Li."

"Dong" the apple fell to the ground, and Liu Ting lost her composure because she knew that the child she gave birth to in the air-raid shelter was the son of Zheng Zeru, the current secretary of the provincial party committee. Then the woman in front of her was Zheng Zeru's ex-wife. The note left by Xiaonan in the cradle that year clearly stated: Father Zeru and mother Hongyu.

After all, Liu Ting was a person who had been through the wind and waves. She quickly returned to normal. She picked up the apple and asked calmly: "What do you call her eldest sister?"

"My surname is Wang, Wang Hongyu."

Liu Ting felt dizzy, her eyes turned black and her throat tightened. Chen Nan noticed something was wrong and stepped forward to support her mother: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Child, go out for a walk, Aunt Wang and I have something to say." Liu Ting said holding the table.

Chen Nan was suspicious, but he still went out obediently.

When Liu Ting heard his son's footsteps go, he said, "We haven't seen each other for twenty-seven years in a flash."

When Liu Ting bought a disabled baby from Hongyu on the streets of Nanjing, she focused on her children. She didn't pay attention to Hongyu's appearance. She only remembered that the woman was wearing an old green cheongsam, but Hongyu deeply imprinted Liu Ting's appearance in her mind. Both of them were smart people, and they didn't need to be said explicitly, and they were all indifferent.

Hongyu fell to his knees and burst into tears.

Liu Ting didn't help her. The thing she was most worried about in the past twenty-seven years still happened. What should come is still coming. Hongyu came to ask for her son.

Chen Nan is Zheng Zeru's biological son. Liu Ting has long known this. She just hid this secret in her heart and didn't even tell Chen Zikun.

This child was pitiful since childhood, with deafness and dumbness, and now he is not deafness or dumbness, and Liu Ting put in countless energy and hard work. She even chose not to have her own child for this child.

As a mother, Hongyu naturally understood Liu Ting's thoughts. She cried and said: "I have nothing else to mean, I am grateful for your care of the child for so many years. You will always be the child's biological mother. I have no other idea, I just can just look at him from time to time."

With a bang outside, the pickled vegetables on the windowsill fell off. Liu Ting was shocked and went out to see that there was no one in the yard. After leaving the gate, Chen Nan was running wildly.

"Xiao Nan." Liu Ting shouted.

Chen Nan didn't look back.

Hongyu chased after him, and the two mothers looked at each other. The son had already known the truth, how should he end up?

Chen Nan walked aimlessly on the street, and unknowingly came to the bank of the Huai River. The vast river water rushed eastward. He picked up a stone and threw it away as much as possible, causing only small ripples in the river.

He sat on the grass and looked at the river for a long time until dusk.

...

The provincial party committee, a letter of complaint was sent directly to the desk of the first secretary Zheng Zeru, reporting that the rightist Chen Nan bullied people and acted as a hooligan at Beitai No. 1 Middle School, gathered a group of criminals who claimed to be a security cadre in Chenguang Factory to beat the tea furnace workers of the school and clamored to overthrow the party committee. The letter was at the end of the letter and asked to question why the rightists were so rampant, why the political and legal departments were inaction, and who was covering up the rightists, fighting against the people, and the party.

The letter of complaint was signed with real name, Sun Yufeng, director of the Education Department of Beitai No. 1 Middle School.

The content of this letter is inevitably exaggerated, but the basic facts should not be very different. He was a little angry. Why is Chen Nan so unsatisfied? The organization is already generous and has been lenient. He has been assigned to work in middle school and has caused trouble, which arouses dissatisfaction among the masses. This child has been spoiled since childhood.

He picked up his pen and ordered to "treat it seriously to observe the effect." He then rang the bell and called the secretary to come in and told him to send the letter back to Jiangbei.

One day passed, Zheng Ze went home from work, and it was only five minutes from the provincial party committee to the senior cadre family building on Fenglin Road, but he still chose to take a bus and had to go around the city before going back. This was a habit developed for many years in underground work.

When I got home, I saw my wife Pan Xin sitting quietly on the sofa, with a little unnatural expression.

"Xiao Pan, what's wrong?" Zheng Zeru was a little confused.

"This is picked from your trash can." Pan Xin said nodded to a letter on the coffee table.

This letter was sent by Liu Ting a few days ago. Zheng Zeru threw it into the trash can without even reading it. Out of confidentiality, all his discarded documents would not be thrown away, but would be destroyed by his wife himself. It seems that Pan Xin has read the content of the letter.

Zheng Zeru was a little funny. Pan Xin was having a quarrel with her these two days because her old classmate Liu Ma’s husband Zhang Guangyin was labeled as a rightist, and she was unwilling to help. Today, she was afraid that she would lose her temper with her through Liu Ting’s affairs.

"You, you are still a child's character." Zheng Zeru sat down, opened the envelope and pulled out the letter paper. It was an old yellow paper with only a line of words written on it: "Father Zeru and mother Hongyu were born on the eighth day of the fifth month of the 20th year of the Republic of China."

Zheng Zeru's hands were trembling, this was the birth date of the first son.

"What's going on?" he asked his wife subconsciously.

"I want to ask you what's going on." Pan Xin asked back.

Zheng Zeru suddenly stood up, paced back and forth for a few steps, and said, "This is impossible."

He knew that his first child was disabled, deaf and had his feet turned outward, but Liu Ting's son was very healthy and could never be his son who had been separated for many years, and there was no such coincidence in the world.

"What's impossible? What's the secret you have hidden from me? How many wives have you married and how many children have you had?" Pan Xin suddenly got angry, grabbed the mat on the sofa and threw it over.

Zheng Zeru smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Pan, listen to my explanation."

"I don't listen, I don't listen." Pan Xin went straight upstairs, hugged Little Jeff, and carried a bag of luggage, with tears on her face still: "I'm going back to her parents' home."

Zheng Zeru said: "It's better to stay for a few days when you go back. I'll let Xiao Li drive you there."

Pan Xin returned to her parents' home like this, and the first secretary's home returned to peace. Zheng Zeru lit a cigarette and began to recall the second son of the Chen family carefully. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the child still looked like himself in some aspects. He picked up the phone and a gentle voice rang out on the other end: "Hello, Chief, where do you want it?"

"Check me No. 10." Zheng Zeru said, this is the code name of Chen Zikun's family, and the little girls in the telephone bureau are all familiar with each other.

The phone was connected, but Liu Ting was not here. The family told Secretary Zheng that Liu Ting had gone to Jiangbei.

...

It was getting late, and Chen Nan dragged his tired steps back home. Aunt Wang had already gone back, and his brother and sister-in-law came back from get off work. She was playing with her nephew. Liu Ting sat in the yard with her expression as usual.

"Mom." Chen Nan's voice was a little dry, "The person who came today is actually my biological mother, right?"

Liu Ting nodded.

Chen Nan had figured this problem out on the beach, but after being admitted by his mother, he still couldn't stand the blow. He wanted to cry but couldn't cry, and wanted to shout but didn't have the energy to shout.

"Okay, actually my dad is not my biological father, right?" he continued to ask.

Liu Ting nodded again: "Xiao Nan, listen to me, back then...

Chen Nan said: "Don't talk about those excuses back then, I just need to know one thing, who is my biological father."

"Child, you have seen your biological father a long time ago. He is Zheng Zeru."

This answer was far beyond Chen Nan's expectations. He originally estimated that his father should be a martyr, and had already passed away. Before he died, he entrusted his orphan to Liu Ting, his adoptive mother. Unexpectedly, his biological father was still there, and he was the first secretary of the provincial party committee. What's even more ironic is that it was Secretary Zheng who personally ordered him to label him as a rightist.

"This is impossible, this is unscientific." Chen Nan murmured and walked away, his eyes a little dazed, obviously unable to accept the double stimulation.

Liu Ting did not advise him that such things must be digested slowly. She believed that time can heal all the scars, but this son will not be the only one he enjoys in the future. He will have another mother, another father, and that father may not recognize each other...

The Gaotupo dormitory is not big, so Liu Ting went back to the area guesthouse to stay, indicating that she would accompany her son to see his mother again tomorrow.

The next morning, Chen Bei got up and brushed his teeth and washed his face. Ma Chunhua went to wake up his son, but he could not see his brother-in-law and asked his son: "Where is uncle."

"I've gone to work." Xiao Chen Guang replied.

Ma Chunhua shouted: "Chen Bei, my brother is back to school."

Chen Beidao: "This kid doesn't say hello when he goes back."

...

Chen Nan came to the school early, but saw everyone walking around when he saw him, pointing and whispering behind him. He looked at the bulletin board with big-character posters, sharp words and every word pointed directly at him, and his mood became heavier.

When I returned to the library, I took the thermos and went to the tea stove room to get hot water. I saw Nie Wenfu sitting at the door with gauze wrapped around his face and plaster on his arms, staring at him fiercely.

The villain was actually released. Chen Nan was frightened and did not care about getting hot water and ran away in a hurry.

Back in the library, a teacher came to pass the message: "Xiao Chen, the principal asked you to go."

When he arrived at the principal's office, the principal was kind and made tea and handed cigarettes. Finally, he said, "Xiao Chen, I went to the provincial government for a meeting a few days ago. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen. This incident had a great impact and was very bad. The main leaders of the provincial party committee personally issued instructions, and I can't protect you."

The six words of the main leader of the provincial party committee deeply hurt Chen Nan. Isn’t it that he beat him to the world to defeat him? He is the top leader of Jiangdong. It is not difficult to protect his son, but he did the opposite. Why is this, and why?

The principal said: "Don't have any extra ideas. Going to the countryside to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants will be of great benefit to your transformation. The regional education bureau has decided to delegate you to the Central Primary School of Chengguan Town, Nantai County."

Chen Nan said calmly: "I'll wait for the organization to handle it."
