Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

After listening to Qian Xiaoshu's story about putting the sack on, Sun Aimin's mood finally improved a little. So he suddenly had an idea to cook a delicious dish for his son himself.

He went to discuss with the boss lady who was in charge of the cash register: "Boss lady, can I borrow the kitchen and make a dish myself?"

The restaurant has never encountered a customer who made such a request. Moreover, their restaurant has always had good business, which is mainly due to the good skills of the chefs and the reasonable prices of various dishes, which have a good reputation in the local area.

The proprietress looked Sun Aimin up and down and said, "The dishes in our restaurant are all delicious. If you don't like them, you don't have to eat here. The kitchen is such an important place, not everyone can enter!"

Although the proprietress did not say it explicitly, her implication was very clear. She was worried that Sun Aimin had ulterior motives and would do something bad after entering the kitchen.

Sun Aimin, who had been working in the kitchen, naturally understood this principle, so he no longer forced her and could only wait until he got home to find an opportunity to cook for his son.

After a few people ordered their dishes, they waited for a short while before the dishes were served one by one.

Wu Xing ordered a dish of fish-flavored eggplant, Zhao Hongjun ordered a dish of three fresh vegetables, and they each ordered a bowl of rice. These were relatively cheap dishes. The two of them often went out to look for their children, and in order to save money, they usually just ate a simple meal.

The dishes ordered by Sun Aimin included the sweet and sour fish and corn with pine nuts, which are children's favorites, as well as boiled pork slices, plus two bowls of rice.

After all the dishes were served, Sun Aimin pushed the dishes to the middle of the table and invited Wu Xing and Zhao Hongjun to eat together.

The two men even felt a little embarrassed, thinking they were taking advantage of Sun Aimin.

Sun Aimin said with a big smile: "We are now friends who have been through thick and thin together, so there is no need to be so polite. To tell you the truth, I am a cook myself. I was planning to use the kitchen to cook two dishes just now, but it didn't work. If I have the chance to go to Qingyang in the future, I will show you my cooking skills."

Hearing that Sun Aimin was a chef, Wu Xing asked, "Brother Sun, are you working for someone else or running your own shop? You don't look like a chef..."

Sun Aimin smiled and said, "To be honest, any stranger who heard that I was a cook would not believe it, but that is the fact. Even though I am only in my early thirties, I have been learning cooking for more than twenty years. It can be considered a skill passed down from my ancestors!"

After hearing what Sun Aimin said, the two of them immediately became interested and asked, "Where is your store in Qingyang City? We must go and try it when we have the chance in the future."

Sun Aimin said truthfully: "I used to be a chef in a big hotel, but because of some problems at home, I am not working there anymore. I don't have any specific plans for what I will do in the future.

These things still need to be considered in the long run. At least we have to finish dealing with this matter before considering the next step. "

Wu Xing and Zhao Hongjun were somewhat disappointed when they heard this answer. Zhao Hongjun took out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket, wrote down his home phone number, and said to Sun Aimin, "Let's leave contact information and keep in touch. Who knows, we may have to join forces to fight monsters again!"

Afterwards, Wu Xing and Sun Aimin wrote down each other's phone numbers so that they could keep in touch in the future.

Sun Aimin thought he might have to move, so he left his sister-in-law Yuan Rui's phone number.

Several people ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After finishing their meal, a few people found a bar nearby to talk and called home to report their safety. The scene became lively.

Especially on Zhao Hongjun's side, everyone could hear his wife Li Jing's excited cheers through the receiver: "Have you really found your son? Are you sure he is really our son?"

Zhao Hongjun replied helplessly: "Yes, yes, this time he is really our son!"

Li Jing had a loud voice that was unique to rural women. After receiving a clear answer, she said, "Then give the phone to my son and I'll talk to him!"

Then she shouted the name of their five-year-old daughter: "Jia Jia, be quiet, mom wants to talk to your brother, and your brother will be home soon..."

When little Jiajia heard that her long-missed brother was coming home, she was so happy that the toy in her hand that had been singing all the time was no longer interesting. She ran happily to her mother and shouted into the microphone: "Brother, I am Jiajia's sister. When you come back, I will prepare a surprise gift for you..."

Zhao Hongjun was overwhelmed by the quarrel between the mother and daughter on the other side of the microphone, but this feeling did not make him feel upset at all. Instead, he felt warm inside, and there was something called "happiness" flowing quietly in his blood.

Afterwards, he patiently told Li Jing what had happened in the past two days, and told her that the child would have to wait a few days before being taken home, and asked her not to worry: "You don't have to come over, my son promised to go home with me. He is very sensible and didn't suffer much in that family. Don't worry about it, take good care of your daughter, my son and I will be back in a few days!"

Wu Xing had a feeling that his child would be found soon, but the reward information on the flyer was taken advantage of by a greedy person who provided false information, causing his family's hopes to be dashed several times.

So, he decided not to talk about the child's problem for the time being, but just reported that he was safe and asked about the situation at home.

Although Sun Aimin has found his biological son, he cannot let his relatives in Qingyang City know about this except Yuan Jie for the time being, so as to avoid being discovered by Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou who are hiding in the dark.

In a few days, Yuan Jie will reach her due date, and he must try his best to get back by then.

After calling home, he called his parents in his hometown. It was old lady Sun who answered the phone.

The old lady asked on the phone: "My dear, how is your wife these days? Is she about to give birth? Mom asked your eldest sister-in-law to pack up her things these two days and go over to help take care of her. Your mother-in-law and her husband are old, and I'm afraid they can't handle it.

By the way, ask your sister-in-law to bring some free-range eggs, bean curd skin and millet. These things are the best for supplementing nutrition after childbirth."

Sun Aimin responded, "Okay, don't let my sister-in-law carry too many things, otherwise it will be troublesome to take the bus. My sister-in-law knows how to get home, so when she comes, just let her go directly home. There will always be someone at home. By the way, mom, I have something else to say this time, let my dad answer the phone!"

The old lady replied, "Why do you have to look for your dad? Wait, don't hang up the phone. Your dad is going to watch the neighbor slaughter a pig. I don't know what's going on. He's too old to stay at home all day!"
