Reborn in 2006, it's incredibly awesome!

The Rolls-Royce was parked in front of the wrought iron gate of the detached villa.

Lin Feng had sent a message in advance, and Su Qingchuan was already waiting at the door with his wife Liu Yuhong and Su Wanqing, who had just returned.

Seeing the car come to a stop, the group took two steps forward to greet it.

Lin Feng was the first to push open the car door and get out, naturally calling out, "Dad, Mom, we're here."

"Hey, it's good that you're here. Come on in." Su Qingchuan nodded with a smile, but his gaze passed over Lin Feng and landed on Lin Haiyang, who had just gotten out of the car.

Two men, both over fifty, looked at each other from a distance of a few steps apart.

They've all lived most of their lives, yet you can still see some resemblance in their features.

Su Qingchuan's throat moved, and he turned to the side to gesture for them to come in. His voice was a little hoarse: "The food is freshly cooked. I specially made Northeastern dishes today. Please come in."

Lin Haiyang's eyes darted around, he gripped Guo Yan's hand tightly, nodded in a low voice, and followed her inside.

Lin Feng leaned closer and whispered, "It's okay, Dad. Don't be nervous. We're all family. Just talk it out."

"You traitor, you make it sound so easy for you." Guo Yan glared at him and muttered, "Get lost."

Lin Feng gave an awkward smile and scratched his head.

Su Wanqing walked over and took Lin Feng's arm, smiling as she greeted Guo Yan and Lin Haiyang: "Mom and Dad, come inside quickly, it's windy outside. You two look so young again."

Guo Yan gave a polite smile and nodded, "You're getting more and more beautiful too."

The group entered the villa and went straight to the round table in the dining room. Su Qingchuan waved his hand, "Please sit down, please sit down, don't be shy."

Lin Haiyang glanced at the dishes on the table: sweet and sour pork, braised pork slices, stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, green peppers, and green peppers, stewed pork with mushrooms, braised goose with vermicelli, and so on. The table was full of dishes, and there were also vegetables with dipping sauce and soybean paste on the side. All of them were authentic Northeastern Chinese flavors.

A slight thought crossed his mind; the other party was really serious.

"I didn't know what you guys liked to eat, so I prepared it according to the Northeastern style." Su Qingchuan smiled, his gaze falling on Lin Haiyang's face, his tone earnest yet tinged with guilt, "Brother! You've suffered these past years."

With just that simple sentence, the two middle-aged men's eyes simultaneously welled up with tears.

Lin Haiyang clenched his fists tightly, struggling to hold back his tears. Questions that had been buried for over forty years surged up like a tide.

He finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked in a hoarse voice the question he'd kept hidden for most of his life: "Why? Why do you have to send me away? Was I too naughty and annoying when I was little?"

Su Qingchuan sighed, picked up his wine glass and downed a glass in one gulp, the wine making his throat tighten.

"Our parents had six children in their lifetime. Your eldest brother passed away from cancer a few years ago; your second sister works at the Beijing Tax Bureau; I am the third child; your fourth sister married and moved to Canada; and you also had a fifth brother who was seriously ill when he was young. Back then, our family was poor and we didn't even have the money to buy medicine. He died when he was eight years old."

Speaking of his fifth brother, Su Qingchuan's tears fell. He raised his hand to wipe his face, his voice heavy: "It was the year my fifth brother passed away that we gave you away. We were so poor back then, we were practically filthy. Everyone in the family was skin and bones. Mom and Dad couldn't afford to raise you anymore, so they thought of giving one away, hoping it would at least keep you alive. Originally, they planned to give you to your fourth sister, but Dad's old comrade-in-arms, who was also your adoptive father, wanted a boy, not a girl. In the end, they gave you away, the youngest one. The younger you are, the stronger the bond you form. By then, your eldest brother and I were already around ten years old, and we couldn't give you away anymore."

Lin Haiyang suddenly laughed, and as he laughed, tears streamed down his cheeks.

He sniffed. "So...it wasn't meant to be a gift for me. Well, my dad's known for favoring boys over girls. This is definitely something he'd do."

He paused, then looked up and asked, "Is my second sister also in Beijing? Why didn't she come?"

Su Qingchuan gave a wry smile. "I haven't dared to tell her yet. Your second sister has heart disease and had bypass surgery in the United States a few years ago. Her health has been poor ever since. I don't dare to tell her until I have a definite answer about this."

At this point, Su Qingchuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Do you know? When you were little, your second sister raised you single-handedly until you were six years old. Your parents gave you away, and your second sister held a grudge for the rest of her life. When our parents died, she didn't even come back to see them one last time. Her heart condition was caused by that."

Lin Haiyang was stunned.

The lingering resentment in my heart, which had been bottled up for forty years, melted away gently, like ice being doused with hot water.

I realized I wasn't alone. I had an older sister who used to protect me so much.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time; only tears kept falling down his face.

Su Wanqing's eyes were red, and she handed him a tissue: "Okay, Dad, don't cry. Our family is reunited, this is a joyous occasion, why are you crying?"

Su Qingchuan wiped away his tears and chimed in, "Yes, yes, this is a joyous occasion. Let's not dwell on these old stories, let's eat! Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

As he spoke, he raised his glass, looked at Lin Haiyang and Guo Yan, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Sixth brother, and sister-in-law, I'd like to toast you. In this vast sea of ​​people, we can still reunite. I, your third brother, have no regrets in this life."

Guo Yan, a woman of strong emotions, had just secretly wiped away several tears. She raised her glass: "Third Brother, the story is indeed touching. But I still maintain that no matter how difficult things were, you should have gone to see the children afterward. How could you disappear for decades?"

Su Qingchuan shook his head with a wry smile: "I went twice. But my sixth brother's adoptive father was too stubborn, and later he wouldn't let me visit. He said he was afraid it would affect the relationship between the two of them. He was my father's old company commander, and he was a man of his word. Even my father was afraid of him. In addition, the family was poor at that time, and it took a long time to save up for the travel expenses. So, after a while, we lost contact."

Lin Haiyang waved his hand, picked up his wine glass, and said, "That's exactly the kind of thing my dad would do. Alright, it's all in the past. Let's drink. Sometime... take me to meet my second sister."

Su Qingchuan nodded immediately, a relieved smile on his face: "I must see her! But I need to tell her slowly, just give her a heads-up first. I'm afraid she might not be able to handle it if I tell her suddenly."

Lin Haiyang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes. Second Sister's health is the most important thing. There's still a long way to go, no rush."

Guo Yan looked at Lin Haiyang's brows, which had finally relaxed, and the corners of her mouth also turned up.

The moment the glasses clinked, the atmosphere became completely lively.

Several elders took turns telling Lin Feng and Su Wanqing about the days when they were dirt poor.

They talked about the ridiculous things they did and the hardships they endured when they were young in order to fill their stomachs.

Lin Feng and Su Wanqing sat on the side, occasionally chiming in, but mostly just listening.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

It seems these two old buddies are having a great time chatting; they'll definitely have to have dinner tonight.

The warm yellow light fell on the faces of the people at the table, and the kinship that had been separated for more than forty years was finally reunited in this glass of wine.
