In the living room, Mr. Lou leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed, shrugged his shoulders and turned his neck a few times.

He has been working in the small parts processing workshop today, which is much more tiring than working in the office.

Zheng Guo was really thirsty, so he picked up the cup and started drinking.

But after taking the first sip, I felt that the water tasted good, with a faint orange flavor, but very light.

Hey, Mr. Lou’s family is really fashionable. Zheng Guo thought that the thermos must have been filled with orange peel or dried tangerine peel.

This is quite good for health.

"Xiao Zheng, maybe I didn't tell you about the relationship between our two families before, which may have caused you to misunderstand.

Well, I'd better tell you, so you don't have to think about it all day long!"

"what!"

Zheng Guo looked at Mr. Lou in disbelief. Could it be that the two families really knew each other, but he had no memory of this?

"Oh shit, just listen and it's over.

Xiao Zheng, I also saw a familiar name on your file that day. Yes, it was your grandfather Zheng Yuanming.

I remember that when our Lou family's ancestor was in trouble, it was your grandfather's grandfather Zheng Ziqi who saved him. Later, when our Lou family became prosperous, we wanted to reward your ancestor, but your ancestor Zheng Jia only accepted the medical fee.

From then on, whenever our Lou family members were sick, we would go to your Beizheng Medical Clinic for treatment, and this was the case until your grandfather passed away.

It’s a pity that your grandfather sold the clinic before the founding of the People’s Republic of China.”

"Hehehe!"

Zheng Guo was already laughing when he heard this.

I didn't expect that this was the reason why Mr. Lou was so nice to me.

Well, I have to burn more paper for the ancestors of the Zheng family and thank them properly.

When Mr. Lou saw Zheng Guo's useless look, he couldn't help but swear.

"What are you laughing at, kid? I haven't finished talking yet."

"Boss Lou, you talk, I'm listening!"

Mr. Lou smiled and shook his head. Well, after spending more time with Lao Yang, he did learn to swear. It seemed like he was addicted to it and it came out of his mouth unconsciously.

It seems necessary to stay away from Lao Yang.

"Of course, the relationship between our two families goes beyond this. The successful construction of the Red Star Steel Mill was also due to the efforts of your father and mother.

When my father first built the factory and purchased equipment for John Bull, Hans Cat, and Gallic Rooster, he encountered many difficulties and obstacles, so he invited professors and top students from Yenching University to be in charge of negotiations. At that time, your mother Lin Wen was proficient in diplomacy, foreign languages, and negotiations. She stood out in the negotiations and saved our factory a lot of money.

Later, the factory encountered difficulties in installing and debugging equipment again, so the Lou family sought help from professors and top students of Yenching University. Although your father Zheng Haoran had never studied abroad, he solved one problem after another by studying foreign materials.

I was only thirteen or fourteen years old at that time, and I followed your father to learn. I admired your father very much at that time.

Of course, I only found out about your parents’ relationship at the celebration party held by the Lou family after the factory was built and put into production.

In the subsequent conversation, I learned that your father is the heir of the Zheng family.

Xiao Zheng, you said that our two families are so related, if I don't treat you well, who can I treat well?"

"Oh!"

Zheng Guo nodded, feeling quite shocked. He didn't expect the original host's parents to be so outstanding.

Unfortunately……

"Xiao Zheng, your grandfather later closed the clinic and moved away, and our two families lost contact.

Alas, your grandfather passed away, and I didn’t even have the chance to burn some incense for him.

What a pity…

And your parents, my father wanted to keep them, but they suddenly left without saying goodbye.

It would be great if they were still here...

Zheng Er, your parents and the others..."

There has been no news of Zheng Guo's parents for many years. The file says they are missing. Director Lou has guessed that the two are very likely...

After all, there was chaos and foreign invasion at that time, so it was hard not to think of the worst.

When Zheng Guo heard this, he felt uncomfortable.

"Boss Lou, my parents have already died!"

"what!"

Mr. Lou opened his mouth wide.

At this time, Xiao Louzi came to the living room with a nervous mood. His eyes immediately looked at the water cup in front of Zheng Guo, and his little face turned red.

"Ah, you, you finished the water!"

Director Lou came back to his senses, but his eyes were already wet, "Zheng'er, Uncle Lou didn't expect this to happen, I shouldn't have mentioned this!

Xiao'e, quickly pour another glass of water for your brother Zheng Guo!"

"Oh!"

Xiao Louzi lowered her head, fearing that her father and the bad guy would discover her abnormality, but at this moment, Director Lou and Zheng Guo's attention was really not on Xiao Louzi.

Soon, Xiao Louzi poured the water and brought it to Zheng Guo. Zheng Guo immediately clamped her legs together and ran back to the bedroom.

"hehe……"

After returning to the bedroom, Xiao Louzi felt like he could hardly breathe, and his cheeks were burning hot.

How come that bad guy drank all the water?

This does not mean that...

"No, no, no...it was just an accident..."

Xiao Louzi shook his head vigorously and kept making excuses to shirk responsibility.

But no matter how hard she looked, it seemed that there was a connection between her and the bad guy.

The living room was unusually quiet.

Zheng Guo's mind was completely focused on the original host's parents.

What kind of people are they? They seem so great. What other unknown things are there about them?

And is this heartache the influence of the original host?

It still comes from within.

Or maybe, he and the original host had already merged into one, two into one, just one person.

So when I think of the fact that my grandfather Zheng Yuanming never treated the Japanese devils, I feel proud.

Knowing what happened to my parents, Zheng Haoran and Lin Wen, I feel both proud and heartbroken.

One cannot forget one's roots.

They gave me a new life.

Thinking of this, Zheng Guo was no longer confused. From then on, there was no such thing as the original host. He was still Zheng Guo.

Mr. Lou broke the silence.

"Zheng'er, drink some water first.

Don't worry, your parents and family members are all gone, but your aunt Tan and Xiao'e and I are still here.

From now on, we are your family."

"Well, thank you, Mr. Lou, but not Uncle Lou. Otherwise, please tell me about my parents. I really didn't know they were so capable.

I'm so proud of my parents!"

"Well, I'm proud of them, and proud of you too!"

After Zheng Guo finished speaking, he took a sip of water and felt strange. Why was the orange flavor gone? Was he just illusory?

After a while, Lou Ma's voice was heard again.

Today's midnight snack is still rich and delicious.

It’s a pity that the Lou family has the tradition of not talking during meals, and there is little communication during the meal.

After dinner, little Louzi was sensible enough to help his mother clean up.

"Xiao Zheng, why don't you stay in my guest room today? It's already very late!"

"Oh, Mom, how can we let bad people and outsiders live in our house!"

Xiao Louzi was the first to stand up and refute.

"Girl, why are you so rude?

He is your brother Zheng Guo, and also our family member!"

"No, no! He is..."

"Uncle Lou, Aunt Tan, I'd better go back to my own home. I may not be used to changing my bed suddenly. I'm still busy at the factory tomorrow!"

"How about this, I'll see Zheng Er off!"

"Then Old Lou, be careful!"

After Lou Dong and Zheng Guo left, little Lou Zi Ruoruo asked, "Mom, whose son-in-law is this that my dad and Bad, no, brother Zheng Guo were talking about?"
