Chapter 165 He Really Looks Like Us
Four carriages stopped at the same time at the entrance of the village, and a plainclothes runner was already waiting there.
Lord Zhao lifted the curtain of the carriage and waved to the plainclothes runners.
The yamen runner came over with an old man: "Sir, this is the local security guard of Gejia Village. Shall we go to the local security guard's house first?"
The reason why Lord Zhao didn't get out of the car to let him come over was actually this: he was afraid that the scene he and his group made would be too loud and would scare away the midwife.
The village head got on the side of the front shaft of the carriage and led them to the largest house with green tiles and red walls at the east end of the village.
After getting off the carriage, he asked honestly: "My dear officials, we have arrived at my home. Please get off the carriage and rest for a while in the lobby. My wife has prepared dinner."
Lord Zhao was the first to get off the carriage. He went straight to Mu Qingqing's carriage and said, "Doctor Mu, let's get things sorted out here first and then go over to investigate together later. How about that?"
Mu Qingqing asked Chunxiang to carry a few boxes of Cantonese pastries and got off the carriage leisurely.
Following Lord Zhao and others, they entered the lobby of the local security guard's house.
In the center of the lobby, there was an eight-person table and a round table for ten people, which were filled with farm dishes: a large plate of braised chicken, drunken duck, rock sugar turtle, braised fish, a few small dishes of pickled vegetables, pancakes, steamed sweet potatoes...
It is estimated that these dishes are the best dishes that the village headman can come up with. After all, ordinary village masters cannot come up with so many fish and meat!
Chunxiang first handed the cakes in her hand to the village head's wife (it should be his wife), "These are some small gifts from our master, please accept them."
The middle-aged woman in a green flowered dress looked at the beautifully packaged cakes in front of her, wiping her hands on both sides of her waist, and said shyly, "How can I feel embarrassed to let your son spend money on this?"
Due to years of hard work, exposure to the sun and rain, his face was covered with sun spots and wrinkles. His hands had protruding bones and several cuts on his fingers.
"These are our master's gifts, take them." Chunxiang stuffed all the cakes to the lady and took out a frostbite cream from her sleeve: "Sister, this is the frostbite cream developed by our master. I see that your hands are covered with frostbite, it must be very painful and uncomfortable, right? Apply it twice a day, morning and evening, and the frostbite will heal in a few days."
Chunxiang unscrewed the frostbite cream and squeezed out a little white paste, then applied it on her hands.
The village head's wife was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes and kept falling.
"Oh! Big sister, please don't cry. This frostbite ointment that you just applied cannot get wet. Big sister, you go and have a rest. I'll do the rest of the work of setting the table." After Chunxiang said this, he pushed the village head's wife aside to sit down, and went to finish the unfinished work of moving the chairs and dishes.
Mu Qingqing and Lord Zhao were dining together at the Eight Immortals Table. "Lord Zhao, have your people heard any news? Now that everyone is here, we can discuss it."
Lord Zhao waved to the plainclothes guards, and the guards and the local security guards came over together.
"Sir, that Granny Hu lives at the west end of the village. She moved here with her husband seventeen years ago, and brought her twin sons with her. When they moved here, the family's conditions were quite difficult, and she often took her sons to wash clothes for others to earn some pocket money. I don't know how, in recent years, they became rich all of a sudden. They renovated the house, and it became the largest and best-decorated house in the entire Gejiazhuang. However, her husband drinks alcohol all year round and beats people. Don't be fooled by his rat-like appearance, he will not stop until blood bleeds when he beats his daughter-in-law. As a result, her two sons have not yet married." The plainclothes guards reported to Sir Zhao one by one based on the information they had obtained.
The Huang and Bai couple pricked up their ears and when they heard that their two sons were actually living in such a dire situation, the two daughters couldn't help but wet their collars with tears: My poor sons!
"Well, do you have portraits of the twin sons?" Mu Qingqing asked immediately.
The plainclothes guard scratched his head and said, "I haven't had time to draw this yet."
At this time, the local security guard on the side said, "It's really strange. It's ok that the twins don't look alike at all. They don't look like the couple at all. What do the twins look like?"
The local security guard glanced at the people in the hall and finally stopped at Madam Huang and Madam Bai. He pointed ten fingers in their direction and said in disbelief, "Hey, why does the younger twin look so much like these two ladies?"
After saying that, he rubbed his eyes and nodded again to confirm: "That's right! It's like they were cast from the same mold!"
Now, not to mention Mu Qingqing and the others, Madam Huang and Madam Bai stepped forward anxiously and grabbed the guard's sleeves tightly: "Are you serious?! Does he really look like us?"
The two wanted to confirm it again to avoid another fruitless attempt!
The local security guard looked closely at the two distinguished women in front of him, and carefully studied their faces for a moment: "That big bull looks very similar to the lady in front of me, especially those big eyes, which are exactly the same."
The local security guard turned to Mrs. Huang and said this to her.
He looked at Madam Bai for a while, nodding from time to time: "Erniu's facial features are very similar to this lady, whether it's the pair of phoenix eyes or the high nose bridge. If I didn't know that he was Aunt Hu's son, I would have thought he was your son at first glance!"
It would have been fine if the village head hadn't said anything, but once he did, the two wives burst into tears: "Oh, my son! My poor son!"
As the two ladies burst into tears, the village head stood there at a loss: "Madam, what did I say was wrong? You, you shouldn't do this..."
Mu Qingqing stepped forward and handed them two silk handkerchiefs. She said softly, "Madams, stop crying first and don't scare others. Now that things have come to this point, it is almost certain that they are your biological sons. You two should be happy, right?"
Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Bai wiped the tears and snot from their faces and bowed to everyone awkwardly.
Mrs. Bai's fair face turned red with embarrassment: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all. I was so excited that I couldn't control my emotions for a moment. I hope you can forgive me!"
The carefree Madam Huang anxiously asked Lord Zhao, "Lord Zhao, when can we go find my son?"
Lord Zhao hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Mu Qingqing: "Dr. Mu, what do you think about this?"
Mu Qingqing: Lord Zhao, I am just an escort! An escort! Don't ask me for advice on everything! This will put me under a lot of pressure!
Facing the Huang and Bai couple who were looking at her with the same expectant eyes, Mu Qingqing couldn't help but hold her forehead: Forget it, I'll just send the Buddha to the west, and be a good person to the end. Who made me a good person with a beautiful face and a kind heart!
After completing self-adjustment, Mu Qingqing glanced outside the lobby: night had fallen and the sky was full of dim stars.
Mu Qingqing walked to the eight-immortal table, lifted her robe and sat down gracefully, and said calmly, "Why are you in such a hurry? We have been waiting for so many years, and it will only take a little while? The village head and his wife have prepared such a good dinner, we should not let them down."
Lord Zhao chose the seat next to Zhang Muqingqing and sat down: "Everyone, sit down and have dinner first. We can discuss other matters after dinner."
Lord Zhao made the final decision, and the others found seats, sat down, and started to eat.
However, Mr. and Mrs. Huang and Bai were in the lobby at the time, but their hearts were with their son in the west of the village.
I mechanically pick up the food in front of me with chopsticks in my right hand and then put it into my mouth to chew. As for the taste of the food in my mouth - it's like chewing wax!
I couldn't taste anything, I just ate to satisfy my stomach because I was afraid I would be hungry and faint from hunger when I saw my son later.
