Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

Sun Aimin said: "Sun Xiaohao's biological parents have been monitoring our lives. If I bring the child home directly, it will definitely attract their attention and make them wary. They may also do something harmful to the child.

But now that the child is about to go to school, registering his residence is a big problem. This time I met a family of traditional Chinese medicine in Mafang City. From what I can see now, their character should be fine. And they promised to help Xiaoshu find a school.

Now I am mainly thinking about what to do with my child’s household registration. Should I just use Xiaohao’s household registration, or go through the process of getting a new one? And I want to temporarily register his household registration in my hometown.”

After hearing what Sun Aimin said, the Sun family also started to think of solutions.

Grandpa Sun said, "I'll go to the village chief's house and ask if I can register my household registration in your mother's and mine. I remember that there's a little grandson in the village whose household registration is in the same household as the old man."

Sun Aimin replied: "Okay, Dad, I'll go with you later and ask about the necessary procedures. I'll go and prepare tomorrow."

At this time, Sun Aimin's sister Sun Aihua said cautiously: "Little brother, do you think it's okay to register the child under my and your brother-in-law's household registration?"

Sun Aihua lives in the county town with her husband Yu Qingxiang, but Yu Qingxiang did not come with them today.

"Should I discuss this matter with my brother-in-law first? In fact, as long as we can settle down, it doesn't matter whose name it is in our family temporarily. If my parents can get it done, I don't think I need to trouble anyone else." Sun Aimin replied.

Sun Aihua quickly waved her hand and said, "No trouble, no trouble. It's not easy to get a permanent residence in the village now. Your brother-in-law and I have city hukou, and we don't have any children. When the time comes, we can just consider the child as our adopted one, or something like that. I'll just call him and tell him later."

Old Man Sun asked, "Qingxiang should be home from get off work by now, right? Why don't you call him now and tell him about it? If not, I'll go find the village chief right away."

When Sun Aihua heard his father's words, he quickly agreed and went to the room where Xiaoshu was sleeping to call his home.

After a few beeps, the phone was picked up. Sun Aihua briefly explained the situation and finally mentioned that she wanted to register the child's household registration in her own home.

In this era, it is actually relatively easy to register a child's household registration with a relative. Yu Qingxiang is also a very easy-to-talk person, and he agreed without much hesitation.

After finishing the story, it was already past seven in the evening. The old couple of the Qian family asked Sun Aimin to lie down on the kang to rest while they went to prepare dinner.

Xiaoshu had been on the bus for such a long time this time that he was probably very tired. He showed no signs of waking up the entire night and slept until six o'clock the next morning.

When I woke up, I saw several pairs of eyes surrounding me, staring at me with smiles.

Little Tree was startled by the scene, and his little eyes turned around, looking for his father.

When Old Lady Sun saw the child wake up, she was extremely happy. She said to the little tree as if she was teasing a baby, "Child, I am your grandmother. You have slept for so long. Are you hungry?"

Then he poked the old man Sun, who was standing by and looking at the tree with a smile, and said, "Old man, your grandson is hungry. Go get him something to eat..."

Old Man Sun: I haven’t had enough of him yet. I haven’t had a chance to talk to my precious grandson yet. I don’t want to go...

But he just thought about it in his mind, and reluctantly followed the old lady's arrangement, saying to Xiaoshu: "Wait for grandpa to cook for you..."

In addition to Old Mrs. Sun, Sun Aihua and three other children of the Sun family also gathered in the room, and they couldn't get enough of looking at the little tree.

The eldest son, Sun Aiguo, has three children. The eldest son, Sun Qi, is 22 years old. He now works with Sun Aiguo and Sun Aijun to run a mobile village banquet, hosting weddings and funerals. He makes a lot of money, but it's tiring.

The second daughter, Sun Min, is 19 years old and has just been admitted to university. She will register at school in a few days. If Sun Aimin comes back a few days later, she will have to wait until the winter vacation to meet her brother.

The third son, Sun Ming, is the same age as the eldest daughter, Sun Lu, of the second son, Sun Aijun. They are both 17 years old and are currently attending the No. Middle School in the county. Since the high school starts earlier, they just left a few days ago and will not be able to go home until the month-long holiday.

Sun Aijun’s second daughter, Sun Yao, is 14 years old and is now in junior high school. Today is Monday, and she will leave for school after breakfast.

The Sun family is a family of craftsmen passed down from generation to generation, and they should have lived a good life. However, in a special era, in order to preserve the property left by their ancestors, including the secret recipes of imperial medicinal diets and some delicacies, they could only live in an inconspicuous place and lead an ordinary life.

In the early years, they did not live in the village called "Liuwangzhuang" and their surname was not Sun. At that time, people often came to ask about the whereabouts of the secret recipe and offered a high price to lure them to hand over the secret recipe.

At that time, the secret recipe was kept by Sun Aimin's grandfather. Sun Aimin's second uncle and second aunt wanted his grandfather to hand over the secret recipe on the grounds of dividing the ancestral property.

His grandfather knew that his brother was a gambler and would definitely sell the secret recipe for money, so he refused the two's request. The relationship between the two families became strained because of this.

Not long after this, a fire broke out in a restaurant run by Sun Aimin’s grandfather, and the restaurant was burned beyond recognition.

Grandpa Sun Aimin was so angry that his life's work was destroyed that he fell ill and passed away soon after. The quality of life of the Sun family also took a sharp turn for the worse.

Later, a long period of natural disasters produced a lot of refugees. The Sun family also joined the refugee army and walked out of the place where their ancestors had always lived. They finally settled down in Liuwangzhuang, changed their names and lived there ever since, and became authentic farmers.

After the 1980s, the policy was relaxed and the Sun family began to become active again. At that time, since Sun Aimin's elder and second brothers had families to support and their children were still young, it was not convenient for them to go out to explore the world, so the old man Sun sent his youngest son, Sun Aimin, out to the city to see the world.

But after Sun Aimin got married and had a child, he turned out to be a dying child. Over the years, the couple had devoted most of their energy to Sun Xiaohao, so they never had a chance to give it a try.

Now, the two children whose lives were misplaced are about to return to their original tracks. Does this indicate that the Sun family’s fortunes are about to turn around?

The night before, in addition to telling the Sun family about the two children, Sun Aimin also talked to Old Man Sun alone about the medicinal diet recipe.

Although this imperial medicinal diet recipe was passed down from ancestors, none of the recent generations understand Chinese medicine, so this recipe has become a decoration.

Now, there is such an opportunity that allows the child to take care of both medicine and cooking while avoiding the surveillance of Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou. Why not do it?

Finally, the father and son agreed that after settling the child down, they would take the child to Mafang City to go to school first. In his free time, he would study medicine with Mr. Luo, and learn cooking mainly during the winter and summer vacations.
