Chapter 371 Your mom is my little sister!

If the two hadn't looked alike, Qiao Changdong wouldn't have given much thought to the fact that his aunt's husband's surname was Wang.

But after what happened before, he naturally became more concerned.

He had heard his mother say this when he was a child; he resembled his uncle, whom he had never met.

Nephew Xiao Jiu.

This is also one of the reasons why Qiao Changdong has been the most beloved by his grandmother among his siblings over the years.

So now Qiao Changdong has a vague guess in his mind.

"Yes, my surname is Wang, the Wang with the water radical and the character for king." Wang Mingcheng looked at Qiao Changdong with a somewhat surprised expression and asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong?"

Qiao Changdong continued, "Do you have any missing relatives? Like siblings or something? My mother's name is Wang Shurong..."

Before Qiao Changdong could finish his question, Wang Mingcheng's expression suddenly changed drastically.

He stared wide-eyed at Qiao Changdong in disbelief, his expression a mixture of shock and excitement, but his lips trembled for a long time without uttering a single word.

He was clearly too excited to speak.

Instead, Yan Xiaoqing, who was sitting next to Yan Liti, asked again as if to confirm, "You said, you said your mother's name is Wang Shurong??"

"Yes, my mother's name is Wang Shurong. She was born in 1928. She got separated from her family in Yanhai Province in 1944..."

While Qiao Changdong was trying his best to describe Grandma Qiao's personal details, Wang Mingcheng was already in tears, so excited that he completely lost his voice.

Yan Xiaoqing had already walked to Wang Mingcheng's side when he was crying with excitement, and was now gently patting his back, softly comforting him to calm down.

Yan Xiaoqing was naturally aware of her husband's family background.

Her gaze toward Qiao Changdong was filled with excitement, emotion, and genuine joy.

She knew that her husband's inner conflict could finally be resolved.

Yan Xiaoqing looked at Qiao Changdong and said, "Child, did your mother ever tell you if she had any brothers or sisters, or what their names were?"

“My mother said she had three older brothers, but she never told them their names. However, she said that two of them died in battle, and the third brother was wounded on the battlefield and was forced to leave. They got separated during the war and famine.”

Qiao Changdong was now basically certain that the tearful old man in front of him was very likely his mother's long-lost brother.

His maternal uncle.

Meanwhile, Wang Mingcheng, having heard this, had recovered from his speechlessness.

She stumbled over, grabbed Qiao Changdong's arm, and cried out, "Your mom is my little sister! She's my little sister! Take me to see her! She's at Harmony Hospital, right? We'll go now, kid, take me there quickly..."

"Okay, okay, don't get agitated, we'll go now." Qiao Changdong patted the old man's back to comfort him.

Before long, the group drove out of the castle in three more cars.

On the road.

Qiao Qiao was carried by Qiao Changdong and rode in the car with the two elderly people.

On the bus, she heard about Grandma Qiao's life story.

Grandma Qiao fled to Qiaojia Village during the war, a fact known to the entire Qiao family and even the whole village.

Grandma Qiao's real name is Wang Shurong.

Before the war broke out, the family had some assets, though not as much as the Shen family, but they were still a scholarly family.

Grandma Qiao has three older brothers.

The eldest brother is Wang Mingcheng, who is sixty-four years old this year.

The second brother was named Wang Mingjiang, and the third brother was named Wang Mingjun. They died in battle six years after the outbreak of the war.

Wang Mingcheng actually joined the army and fought in battles at the beginning, but he was seriously wounded and was discharged.

Before his wounds had fully healed, war broke out in the area where he was recovering. By then, his parents and two younger brothers had already died, so Wang Mingcheng took his youngest sister and ran around everywhere.

It's no exaggeration to say that if he hadn't been taking care of his younger sister at the time, Wang Mingcheng would have returned to the battlefield long ago.

only.

In the end, he did not return to the battlefield, and he also lost his only sister.

After the war ended, he went back to his hometown to look for it.

However, the war broke out when Grandma Qiao was just over three years old. By the time the war was in full swing, Grandma Qiao had already been taken by her parents to many different places.

In addition, being young, Grandma Qiao had no idea where her hometown was.

When she parted ways with Wang Mingcheng, she was about fourteen or fifteen years old. After they separated in Yanhai, she fled famine with the crowd to Huajiang Province, and finally settled in Qiaojia Village.

Grandma Qiao had considered looking for her only brother, but it was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

I never expected to run into you at this time!

It was all due to this kind of fate!

Everyone felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).

Harmony Hospital is not far from the castle; it takes only about 30 minutes to drive there.

The car stopped at the hospital entrance.

When Wang Mingcheng got out of the car, he was so nervous that his legs were trembling and he almost fell off the car. Fortunately, Qiao Changdong caught him in time.

Wang Mingcheng's eyes were still red.

He gripped Qiao Changdong's arm tightly and asked him, "Son, how has your mother been all these years?"

Qiao Changdong looked at the old man, whose eyes were full of tension and worry, and was about to answer when a suspicious voice came from the side: "Dongzi?"

It's Qiao Xiaoyun.

She was carrying a Double Happiness enamel basin and a thermos in one hand as she walked from the hospital cafeteria.

Grandma Qiao's ward is a single room, the best in the hospital, with a companion bed and a private bathroom.

However, only cold water is provided in the ward; hot water still needs to be obtained separately from the hot water room in the cafeteria.

Qiao Xiaoyun brought over a basin, tidied herself up, and filled a bottle with hot water. Just as she was about to return to her ward, she unexpectedly ran into Qiao Changdong, who should have gone home long ago, downstairs in the inpatient department.

Qiao Changqing has a mission to complete.

Now, the only people who can take care of Grandma Qiao are Li Wenyan, Qiao Changdong, and Qiao Xiaoyun.

Considering that Qiao Qiao was too young to stay at the hospital, Qiao Changdong mainly took care of Grandma Qiao during the day, while Li Wenyan and Qiao Xiaoyun took turns staying with her at night, which was more convenient.

Of course, Grandma Qiao's pathology results are not yet available, so staying with her at the hospital is quite easy.

When Grandma Qiao actually has surgery, she won't be able to be separated from someone for a moment, so Qiao Changdong plans to find two female hospital staff to accompany her.

Firstly, it's more convenient for him, a grown man, and secondly, it will make things easier for Li Wenyan and Qiao Xiaoyun.

"Sister, this is..." When Qiao Changdong saw Qiao Xiaoyun walking over and looking him and the old man beside her, he didn't know how to introduce them for a moment.

He could only say, "Never mind, let's go up first. You'll understand once we're up there."

"Okay, why all the secrecy?" Seeing Shen Qingyan, Yan Liti, and Fu Yu get out of the car behind them, Qiao Xiaoyun assumed it was because Shen Qingyan hadn't come during the day and had come to check on them now that he had some free time in the evening, so she didn't ask any further questions.
