There were no mobile phones in that era. If you wanted to find someone, you had to call their workplace and have someone come over to pick up the phone.

After picking up the phone, Li's father heard the other party say that he was a nurse in Wenyang City, and asked him if he knew a man named Cheng Wensong, who had been in a car accident and was now lying in the hospital.

It turned out that the nurse found a phone book in Cheng Wensong's pocket. The three words "Cheng Wensong" were written on the first page of the phone book. On the second page was the phone number of Li's father's hospital, and his good friend Li Guanhua was written on it, so the nurse called him.

It takes more than five hours to drive from Wenyang City to Nancheng, and the cars are not always available.

So Li's father studied the route and took two buses before he got to the hospital, but it was already dark by then.

Dad Li did not get to see his good friend for the last time. He was then told that his wife was also in the hospital, in a coma, and her premature baby was in an incubator.

It was a mess at that time. He was very sad about his friend's death, but his friend's wife and children still needed someone to take care of them, so he forced himself to go visit them. He didn't bring much money with him. After paying for his friend's medical treatment and various expenses and his wife and daughter's hospitalization fees, he only had enough money for the trip.

He called his friend's workplace and told them the sad news. The company expressed condolences and applied for a pension for the mother and daughter, but the pension still had to be reviewed and would not be available for a few days.

Later, his friend's wife's family came. He saw that they were well-dressed and looked like rich people, so he thought to himself that it was great, now someone would take care of his friend's wife and daughter.

Thinking that he was not needed here at the moment and that the time for his leave had come, he rushed back because he had something urgent to do. After he finished the work at hand, he rushed back to Wenyang City. He wanted to help deal with his friend's funeral. Cheng Wensong was an orphan. His grandmother, who depended on him for life, had passed away long ago. Li Guanhua hoped to send his friend off for the last time.

But when he arrived, Xiaoguan had disappeared, his friend's body was still in the hospital, and the child was also left there. All the fees had been due two days ago, and the hospital had given them two days' slack. If the fees were not paid, the child would be treated as an orphan and sent to an orphanage.

Li Guanhua thought about what might have happened. He believed that his friend's wife would not do such a decisive thing, so he chose to wait. Li Guanhua paid the fee and waited, but after waiting for three days, no one showed up, and his friend's pension had already arrived.

Finally he gave up and arranged for his child to be transferred to the Weimin Hospital in South City. He then took his friend's ashes back to South City and buried them in his hometown.

"At that time, I was a little worried that you would not agree to let me keep the child. After all, we already had Xiaofeng at that time. It would be stressful for us to have another child, not to mention a child who is not related by blood. But you agreed without saying a word."

Dad Li looked at Mom Li with gratitude. He still remembered the scene vividly. He would remember for the rest of his life that Mom Li agreed without hesitation and wanted to go and see the child immediately.

Mother Li patted the back of Father Li's hand and sighed.

Father Li seemed to remember something and continued with a puzzled tone,

"In fact, for all these years I couldn't believe that Xiaoguan would abandon the child."

"I don't know if you remember, when Wen Song brought her to see us, even a rough guy like me could see that the two of them had a good relationship. I was very happy for Wen Song at that time. He told me that he had hoped to have a warm family since he was a child. At that time, the happiness on his face was so real."

"Also, when Xiaoguan found out that Wensong had passed away in the hospital, his reaction was exactly like an attack."

Li's father described Guan Hong's reaction and couldn't help but sigh.

"I will never forget her reaction. It was more heartbreaking than crying and making a fuss. I was afraid she would become depressed. But she felt much better after seeing the child and was able to cry. I thought at the time that it was a good thing she still had a child to hold her back."

"So, at that time I didn't believe she would abandon the child and run away. But I waited for so many days and she didn't come back. I also left her address and phone number at work, but no one came to look for her. This was very strange."

Li Ma was silent for a while and sighed,

"Hearing what you said, she really doesn't seem like a heartless person. Something might have really happened back then. And as a mother, I can empathize with her love for her child. That child was born after months of pregnancy. It's just a piece of flesh that fell off her body."

Li's father was even more confused.

"From the way her parents dress and the way they look, they don't seem like they can't afford to raise a child. How could they not even want their own granddaughter? How cruel must they be?"

Li's mother recalled the first time she saw Li Yin. It was in the hospital. Li Yin was born prematurely, so small that her skin was still red and wrinkled. She had no strength to cry, and her voice was small and intermittent. She looked very pitiful, and she and Lao Li were afraid that they could not support her.

Later, Yinyin stayed in the hospital for more than half a month. After returning home, they took good care of her. Maybe she was well taken care of in the womb. Little Li Yinyin was healthy after being discharged from the hospital and rarely got sick. She has been very well behaved since she was a child and is very worry-free.

Thinking about how she was just a kid back then, and now she is married and has children, Li's mother couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and sighed,

"Lao Li, no matter what, as long as that Xiao Guan doesn't come, we will just pretend we don't know."

"Think about Yinyin now. She has a healthy and lovely An'an. I think Siyuan treats her very well. How can I bear to destroy her current life? Although she is not my child, I have always treated her as my own daughter. As long as she can continue to be happy and happy, I, as a mother, will be satisfied."

Dad Li thought about what his wife said, and he thought almost the same thing.

"Okay, let's do this for now."

No matter what happens in the future, Li Yin is still the daughter of him and his wife. Just as his wife said, they don't ask for anything, they just hope that she can be happy and that's enough.

-

For the next two days, Guan Hong suffered from insomnia, and her daughter was all she could think of when she opened her eyes or closed them.

The scene before she fell into a coma after giving birth, the baby lying in her arms in the hospital, the certificate her father threw to her, and Li Yin smiling and calling her "Auntie Guan".

The more she thought about it, the faster her heart beat. She had always doubted the death of her child, but she had no choice but to accept it for so many years because she couldn't find any evidence. Now, suddenly a girl appeared in front of her, and all the evidence told her that this girl might be her daughter, and what happened back then was fake. How could she help but think about it?

So for the next two days she was torn between her conscience and her desires. Not only did Old Zhuang see it, but even her carefree son Zhuang Xu saw it and asked her worriedly what was wrong and told her to tell him if there was anything wrong.

Yes, if there is something to say, she should say it out loud. What's the point of her imagining about it here? However, she plans to use a more roundabout way.

That evening, she went next door with the walnut cake she had just made.

"Sister Tian, ​​I'm planning to buy a birthday present for my niece. She looks about the same age as Yinyin. Do you have any suggestions?"

Tian Mingfang shook her head.

"I don't really understand it either. If you give it to me, tell me and I'll take a look at it on Yinyin's birthday."

"My niece's birthday is two months later, so she might be later than Yinyin."

Guan Hong waited for Tian Mingfang's answer, her heart pounding.

"No, Yinyin's birthday is in March, but it's the third month of the lunar calendar. If we really want to celebrate it, we have to wait until the fourth month of the Gregorian calendar."

The third month of the lunar calendar! Her child was born in the third month of the lunar calendar!
