1968: When Can I See Her?

When Can I See Her?

"When I left home, I was too young. I don't remember where my family lived. I only remember a ditch in front of my house and a walnut tree. I don't even remember how many older brothers and sisters I had besides my sister. But I remember that I did not have a younger sister. I remember that I went out to find my father with my sister, and I was sold by an evil woman who claimed to be able to help us find our father."2

Jiang Yao immediately recognized Dingzi as the younger brother Ding Xiaomei had been searching for.

"It's okay. I don't blame you. It's normal for you to be cautious. It's also right for you to remember to protect yourself." Jiang Yao patted Xiao Ding's shoulder and said, "Speaking of which, fate is really magical. I've met your sister, and we've spent some time together."

Jiang Yao originally wanted to say that she had met his father, but when she thought of the man's identity, she ultimately chose to hide it.

"Auntie Jiang, have you met my sister? How is she doing? I heard that she was sold to a very poor place to give birth to a baby. Is she doing well?" As he spoke, he suddenly burst into tears. "Auntie Jiang, has she been looking for me?"

"Yes, she has been looking for you. After she escaped from that village, she didn't return home. Instead, she took the child and wandered around looking for you. It doesn't matter how your sister was doing in the past, but your sister is doing very well now. She and your nephew have returned home. She said that she wanted to go home and wait for you. By the way, your nephew looks very much like your sister. He is very obedient." Jiang Yao's tone was very heavy. "Your sister has always blamed herself. She thought that she had lost you, so she wandered around with her child. When she didn't find you, she said she could not go home to see her family."

"I don't blame my sister. I don't blame her." Xiao Ding hurriedly wiped his tears. "Auntie Jiang, when can I see my sister?"

Perhaps Xiao Ding had left home at such a young age that he did not have much impression of his other family members. On the contrary, he had a strong dependence on and missed Ding Xiaomei, the sister who had been sold along with him.

He might not be able to remember his sister's appearance, but he would never forget his sister holding his hand and whispering to him to hold her hand and not get separated.

However, there were too many bad people in the world. No matter how hard he held her hand, they were still separated in the end.

She had wanted to say that she would wait a few more days, but when she remembered that she had Ding Xiaomei's contact information, she immediately smiled and said, "I'll call your sister right away!"

Ding Xiaomei's phone number was a number for the snack bar in her village. After Jiang Yao called, she said that she was looking for Ding Xiaomei, but the other party told her to wait for a while. Then, she could hear the shop owner calling for Ding Xiaomei.

The office was very quiet. Xiao Ding could even hear the voice on the phone. As he listened to the familiar words, Xiao Ding paid attention to the voice.

"Hello, is that Doctor Jiang?"

Ding Xiaomei's voice came five minutes later, panting as if she had been running.

Jiang Yao did not say anything. She handed the phone to Xiao Ding and gave him an encouraging look. She said, "Go on, speak."

Xiao Ding's hands were shaking. He could not hold the phone properly. His lips were also trembling. He could not say a word.
