Until I got home, An Ning was thinking about things in her mind.

When he got home, Zhang Heping had already prepared supper.

It was indeed the pork and cabbage-filled dumplings that An Ning mentioned.

As soon as An Ning got home, he started cooking, and soon the dumplings were out of the pot.

An Ning washed her hands and went to have a meal. After dinner, she also acted coquettishly with Zhang Heping: "Dad, do we have a photo album in our family? I want to see how you and my mother looked when they were young, and when will we take photos?"

Zhang Heping took An Ning into the house: "There is an album, Dad find it for you to see it. Oh, my daughter is just thinking carefully. It's time for us to take Zhang's family photo. This Sunday, let's take photos together on Sunday and take a few more photos for my daughter."

The father and daughter entered the room, and Zhang Heping took out the photo album from the chest of drawers.

An Ning took the photo albums one by one, and there were really several photos from Secretary Zhang Heping and Secretary An when he was young.

"This was taken before I went to the front line. It was not easy to take pictures at that time."

"This was taken after explanation, this was taken when we were in the Northeast, this was taken in..."

Zhang Heping pointed out to An Ning one by one.

This photo is very old and can be preserved very well.

There are photos of Zhang Heping and Secretary An, and many of them are photos of two people.

There are a few photos of Secretary An when he was working. At that time, Secretary An was about thirty years old and looked much younger than he is now.

She wore a lapel top and suit pants, cut her hair short, and looked very energetic.

When An Ning saw this photo, when she recalled Xiangling's appearance, she felt that Secretary An and Xiangling looked like each other.

She covered Secretary An's chin in the photo. Just looking at her eyebrows, eyes and nose, she looked exactly the same as Xiangling, but her mouth didn't look very similar.

An Ning looked at Zhang Heping again. Xiangling's mouth was the same as Zhang Heping's, and her ears were the same.

Zhang Heping's ears are big, but they look a little thin, and the earlobes are not thick, so Xiangling is the same.

An Ning frowned and guessed in her heart.

"What's wrong? What are you father and daughter looking at?"

Secretary An cleaned up the kitchen and came over to ask with a smile.

An Ning looked up and smiled at her: "When looking at the photos, my mother was so beautiful when she was young."

"Yeah?"

Secretary An also sat down with a smile: "Look at this photo. This was taken by my mother when she was working in the northwest. She was really young at that time."

An Ning lowered her head and looked: "Why do I see my mother looking very similar to an aunt I saw in Tuliang Village when she was young, especially her eyes and eyebrows, which is exactly the same, that aunt's mouth and ears look like fathers."

Secretary An was about to turn the pages for An Ning, but when he heard this, his hand stopped.

Zhang Heping was also stunned.

An Ning said casually: "It turns out that I didn't pay attention. I saw her again at the school gate after school today. The more I looked at her, the more I felt familiar with her, but I just couldn't remember why. As a result, when I looked at the album, she looked so similar to her mother when she was young."

Secretary An's hands were shaking a little.

Zhang Heping took a deep breath: "Ningning, what's the name of the aunt you said?"

Secretary An also hurriedly said, "What is the surname of that woman?"

An Ning shook her head: "We have always called her Aunt Xiangling. I really don't know what her surname is. However, she is talking to someone I know today. She should be a relative. I will find out after I go to school tomorrow."

Secretary An's heart beat so fast that his heart was almost leaping out of his throat.

Zhang Heping also felt worried and happy.

"Then you ask about it tomorrow and ask her what her surname is and what her parents' name is."

"OK."

An Ning nodded obediently and gave the album to Zhang Heping: "Dad, let me go to do my homework."

After An Ning left, Secretary An fell softly in Zhang Heping's arms: "Old Zhang, do you think that's our daughter?"

Zhang Heping took out a cigarette and took two sips.

He is not very addicted to smoking and does not smoke normally, but now he doesn't know what it feels like, so he can't help but want to smoke one.

"I don't know, don't hold too much hope. Are we disappointed in the past few years?"

Secretary An nodded, but his eyes turned red: "I hope it was her, I hope it was her, I can see her again in my lifetime, and I can wake up in my dreams with a smile. I am afraid that I will not be able to see our daughter when I die. I don't know whether she is alive or dead, how is she going?"

Zhang Heping patted Secretary An on the shoulder: "No, no, God will not be so cruel to us. Look, don't we have Ningning now? Ningning is a lucky child. I heard that she had only been to Zhang Fugui's house for two months, and Zhang Fugui's wife became pregnant. Maybe she could bring our daughter back."

"Well, I will definitely bring it back to us."

Secretary An sniffed: "It's been more than 30 years, I've been waiting for it for more than 30 years..."

Zhang Heping put his hand on Secretary An's shoulder: "Don't think too much, wait until Ningning finds out the news before talking about it. Also, even if... even if our daughter is found, we can't stay away from Ningning."

Secretary An gave Zhang Heping a blank look: "You should say this, that is my daughter, Ningning is not my daughter, they are all our daughters, how can I be biased?"

After An Ning finished writing her homework, she read the book for a while and then fell asleep.

When she woke up in the morning, she saw that Secretary An and Zhang Heping had dark circles on their faces. She knew that the two of them had not had a good sleep at night, so she might not be able to toss and turns.

While having breakfast, An Ning told Secretary An: "Mom, I will be asking for information this morning."

Secretary An smiled, and she was afraid that An Ning would think too much: "Ningning, you also know that Mr. Mom had a daughter, your sister. You asked her to raise her for her fellow villagers as soon as she was born. Later, when we went back to look for her, the family couldn't be found. We have been looking for her for so many years, but there was no news."

An Ning nodded: "I know this. Sister Hongmei has told me a long time ago, but I am afraid that my mother will be sad and dare not take it in front of you."

Secretary An touched An Ning's head: "What are you afraid of? I am your mother, what can you say?"

She said to An Ning again: "If you really find your sister, even if our family is reunited, our parents will have two daughters, and you will have sisters."

An Ning smiled: "Well, I also hope to have a sister who loves me."

If it is another child of this little bit, I am afraid that I will feel uncomfortable, feel very awkward, and be afraid.

But peace will not be there.

Both Zhang Heping and Secretary An are good people. An Ning always hopes that they can find their biological daughter. She is not afraid that they will not want her or abuse her when they find their biological daughter.

Zhang Heping and his wife are not Zhang Fugui and Li Guilan. They are kind-hearted and will not treat An Ning just because they are not biological children.

And Xiangling.

In An Ning's memory, Xiangling was helping her later when she was able to go to school. Xiangling had a miserable life. She died after giving birth to two daughters, and was later exploited by Zhang Erzhu's family for a lifetime.

Until later, when she graduated from university, she met Xiangling when she returned to the village. She looked old and bitter at that time. She was grateful to her and quietly gave her an idea. Later, when she returned to work in the city, Xiangling went to find her. She also helped Xiangling find a job, but she was finally not allowed to be beaten to death by Zhang Erzhu's family.
