In that ordinary small town, Lin Feng's life was like that of many of his peers, full of ordinary rushes. At the age of 27, he rode his bicycle through the crowded streets as usual, but a sudden car accident put him and his family in great difficulty. Although the accident was not fatal, it left his left leg seriously injured and required a lengthy period of rehabilitation.
At that time, his parents Zhao Meili and Lin Jianguo seemed to have become his patron saints. The fragrance of medicine in the morning, the sound of breathing at night, they are always closely guarding their son's side. Lin Jianguo often works overtime and does part-time jobs after work, just to raise more treatment expenses, while Zhao Meili takes care of Lin Feng carefully, so that he can feel the warmth of home on the road to recovery.
"Mom, you boiled up porridge all night today?" Lin Feng was full of guilt, looking at the wrinkles on his mother's face, the gratitude in his heart was overflowing.
"Feng'er, drink porridge, it's not too sad to have your father and me by company these days." Zhao Meili handed over the warm porridge, her eyes full of love for her son.
"Dad, you're working overtime again, your body is tight, you can't be tired." Lin Feng looked at his father Lin Jianguo and said worriedly.
Lin Jianguo waved his hand, afraid that his son would be worried, so he said lightly: "It's okay, son, dad can carry it." Your soonness to get better is our greatest wish. "
Just when Lin Feng was struggling on the road to recovery, and everything seemed to be developing in a good direction, an unexpected person broke the tranquility. An old man named Li Guang appeared in their lives, and he bluntly declared to Lin Feng that he was his biological father. Li Guang brought not only shock, but also a dusty past that had been sealed for many years.
"I know it's hard to accept, but sooner or later you should know the truth. I was also a father back then......" Li Guang's words have no beginning or end, but they are undoubtedly like a bombshell that fell on the peaceful life of the Lin family.
"What truth? What are you talking about? Lin Feng instinctively asked, and there were waves in his heart.
"Zhao Meili, have you told this kid the truth?" Li Guang's gaze turned to Lin Feng's mother, and that look made the strong middle-aged woman instantly vulnerable.
Looking at his mother's abnormality, Lin Feng's heart suddenly pinched. Mother is not the kind of person who can easily divulge emotions, and his father, Lin Jianguo, clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes flashed with a complex and incomprehensible light. Lin Feng's heart began to have a storm, the family he always thought he knew, the parents he always thought he knew, did he still have a secret he didn't know? Lin Feng's heart is like turning over the river, and what he is facing is no longer only the challenge of recovery, but also questions about identity and family affection. He tried to find the answer in a conversation with Li Guang, who claimed to be his biological father. Li Guang took out some old photos and a worn-out birth certificate, the name on this certificate is indeed Lin Feng, and the date of birth is correct, but the father column on it is indeed Li Guang.
"Here's your birth certificate, and a picture of you as a baby, and the hospital made a mistake." Li Guang's hands trembled and pointed to the baby in the photo and said.
"Then why haven't you come to me for so many years? Now popping up, what do you want? Lin Feng tried to suppress the anger in his heart, logically he was not willing to accept this so-called 'truth' so quickly.
"I've been looking for it...... It wasn't until recently that I found a little clue. Li Guang had tears in his eyes, as if he was recalling those years of hard searching.
Lin Feng felt that his thoughts were even more confused, and he turned around and hid in his room, trying to calm down and think clearly. He decided to ask his mother, Zhao Meili, again, and maybe she could give some explanation.
"Mom, what happened in those years?" Lin Feng asked, what he needed at this moment was the truth, not comfort.
Mother Zhao Meimei's face became even paler, and she let out a long sigh, hesitating to answer immediately. Lin Feng's heart sank, he had never seen his mother like this.
"Mom, tell me, I need to know the truth now!" Lin Feng's eyes were full of urgency.
Zhao Meili finally spoke, her voice trembling: "That day...... The hospital is in chaos, and it may ...... Maybe something really went wrong......"
Lin Feng tried his best to stay calm, and at the same time found Lin Jianguo beside him, the person he had always thought was his biological father, and the struggle in his expression could not be concealed. "Dad, what about you? Have you learned something over the years? "
Lin Jianguo was silent for a while, glanced at his son deeply, and said word by word: "No matter whose seed you are, for me, you will always be my son." "
"But I need to know the truth!" Lin Feng was almost roaring, this sad howl echoed through the room.
"Dad, you have to believe me, we can find out the truth of all this together." Lin Jianguo finally spoke out the beliefs he upheld in this family turmoil.
And for Lin Feng, his world was different, his name, his family affection, and his roots all became shaky. As more conversations were compared with Li Guang's documents, the carefree world of the past was gone. However, on the road to find the truth, Lin Feng discovered the true meaning of home, no matter what, the people who loved him were still by his side, and their emotions transcended the shackles of blood. A fierce dispute broke out in the Lin family's living room, and everyone's emotions were at a critical point. Lin Feng asked, "What else is true in our family?" ”
"Calm down, Feng'er! What we need now is calm. Lin Jianguo tried his best to stabilize the situation, but the turmoil in his heart could not be calmed.
"Dad, is there something you've been hiding from me?" Lin Feng chased after him.
This time, Lin Jianguo did not continue to conceal it, he knew that in the face of Lin Feng's firm eyes, there was nothing to hide. "Feng'er, it's my dad who is not good, there were indeed some things back then."
"What's the matter?!" Lin Feng almost roared.
Li Guang's appearance and a series of document comparisons made Lin Jianguo no longer able to deceive himself. "That year, the hospital went wrong, and I knew that I was wrong...... I was like......"
"What happened to you?!" Lin Feng interrupted him.
"I ...... I made a decision, I decided that whether you were biological or not, I would raise you. I love you like my own son. Lin Jianguo finally told the secret that had been buried for many years.
"And what about my real father?!" Lin Feng turned to Li Guang, his eyes full of doubt.
"I ...... I've been looking for you for years, but I haven't had a clue. Li Guang replied a little weakly.
In the chaos, Zhao Meili spoke, she looked at Lin Feng with firmness in her voice: "No matter what the result is, you will always be our son." ”
The mood calmed down slightly, and Lin Feng looked at the people in front of him who had given him endless love and support over the years, and his heart was turbulent. Now, he needs more than verbal comfort, he needs clear answers. "I need to do a paternity test." Lin Feng finally made a decision.
"Do it, Feng'er. Whatever the outcome, I'm willing to take all the consequences. Lin Jianguo said, with a sense of relief in his voice.
Li Guang nodded: "I agree, truth is more important than anything." ”
After the fierce dispute and Lin Jianguo's confession, the atmosphere at home became a little bleak. Everyone is waiting, waiting for that ultimate truth.
A few days later, the results of the paternity test came back. Lin Feng stood in front of his family with the test report and took a deep breath. This result will change his life and will bring the ultimate home to this family. The test report lay quietly on the dining table, without a sad and joyful expression, but it carried the fate of the three families. Lin Feng took a deep breath and opened the envelope, his eyes quickly swept over the cold words, until the focus stopped on the most critical line: "Li Guang... Parent-child relationship... is positive. "
For a while, the air in the room seemed to freeze, Lin Jianguo's eyes were full of worry and pity, and Zhao Meili held Lin Feng's hand tightly, as if she was silently conveying the power of maternal love.
"Mom, Dad, we're ...... now What to do? Lin Feng's voice was slightly hoarse, and it was particularly abrupt in the silent space.
Lin Jianguo sighed, and the answer didn't seem to make him breathe a sigh of relief: "Feng'er, remember that I said that no matter whose son you are, you are my pride." ”
Li Guang stood up, his face full of guilt: "I feel very sorry... It has brought so much shock to your lives. ”
Zhao Meimei's voice was firm and gentle: "We have been together all these years, and the difficulties, joys, and tribulations we have faced are ...... None of this changes because of a piece of paper. ”
Lin Feng looked at his father Lin Jianguo, who had been with him all these years, and then at his biological father Li Guang, "No matter what the result is, I am very grateful to you." I forgive you for your choice, and the most important thing at this moment is that we can all accept the truth and find the courage to keep going. ”
In the relief of words and mutual understanding, the three families slowly found a way to coexist. Lin Feng decided that he would continue to use Lin Jianguo's surname, and at the same time, he would also accept Li Guang as a part of himself, after all, that was also his root.
They looked at each other, and the burden in their hearts seemed to be lighter. Pain and understanding, forgiveness and gratitude, in a life of truthfulness, surnames no longer seem so important. In this family that is no longer simple, everyone finds the value of existence in the trembling temperature.
In the end, Lin Feng pondered in the evening breeze and asked himself: "Is it love that makes this world trustworthy?" ”
