269: They are at the age to serve their country.

Chief Gu looked at his daughter, who resembled his wife by sixty to seventy percent, with excitement, wiping away his tears with his hand.

“Niannian, you are Father’s daughter, Father has finally found you…”

Xiao Niannian wiped her father’s tears with her hand.

“Father.”

“Yes.”

Chief Gu’s tears fell again after being wiped away.

For so many years, even when surrounded by enemy forces, facing enemies ten times more numerous than his own, he had never been afraid. Even when severely wounded, he had never cried.

But today, finding his daughter, he couldn't help but want to cry out loud.

He had finally found his daughter.

Where was his wife then?

Chief Gu suddenly stood up and walked towards Grandma Xiao.

Grandma Xiao was stunned when Chief Gu suddenly plopped down and knelt before her.

Only when Chief Gu kowtowed did Grandma Xiao come back to her senses and quickly helped Chief Gu up.

“Xiao Gu, you mustn’t… Niannian, quickly help your father up.”

“Aunt, thank you…”

Chief Gu kowtowed three times before standing up with Xiao Niannian’s help.

“Thank you for saving Niannian, you are our Gu Family’s benefactor…”

“Xiao Gu, you…”

Chief Gu was about to kneel again, but Grandma Xiao quickly held him up.

“Get up quickly.”

Grandma Xiao looked at Chief Gu’s excited expression, and she could understand his feelings at this moment. She had been searching for her daughter-in-law and Grandsons for so many years; if she were to find them one day, she would be just as excited as Chief Gu.

“Xiao Gu, are you sure Niannian is your daughter?”

Grandma Xiao was afraid that if they acknowledged her now, and then someone else came with the same token, or other people came to claim kinship, what would Niannian do then?

It was best to clarify everything now, so Niannian wouldn't suffer any grievances.

“Aunt, I am very sure. This pattern is an ancestral design of my wife, and I have also seen this wooden bracelet…”

Chief Gu looked at Xiao Niannian, then at Grandma Xiao.

“Niannian and her mother and her Older Brothers do indeed resemble each other by sixty to seventy percent…”

Xiao Niannian smiled as she listened to Father Gu’s words.

She never expected that after transmigrating to the 1970s, what she thought was a disastrous start, where she would never find her original body's biological parents, she would find them within a year. And her biological parents turned out to have such a prominent background.

“Xiao Gu, since you now believe Niannian is your biological daughter, and you have the wooden bracelet as proof, can you swear that you will be good to Niannian for the rest of your life and not let your daughter suffer any grievances…”

Grandma Xiao felt heartache for the suffering her Granddaughter had endured over the years, and she was also afraid of future complications. Niannian’s mother had not yet been found; if Niannian was not biological and the biological child was found, Niannian would definitely suffer grievances.

If she was biological, and Chief Gu remarried later, Niannian would also suffer grievances.

At her age now, she couldn't protect her Granddaughter for much longer.

Therefore, she had to say the harsh words upfront, hoping Chief Gu would remember today's words.

Although many things couldn't be spoken of during the

“Aunt, I swear that I will protect Niannian from now on and will never let her suffer any grievances…”

Chief Gu immediately spoke upon hearing Grandma Xiao’s words.

“Good, Aunt believes what you say.”

Xiao Niannian looked at Father Gu, then at Grandma. She could never repay Grandma’s kindness in this lifetime. Even at a time like this, Grandma was still thinking of her with all her heart.

“Grandma.”

Xiao Niannian hugged Grandma, her eyes feeling a little hot.

“Good child, Grandma is happy for you…”

Grandma Xiao looked at Niannian, this was the Granddaughter she had brought home and fed spoonful by spoonful of rice paste.

Now she had become so excellent and found her biological father; she was extremely happy for her Granddaughter.

She believed that with Xiao Gu and their care, her Granddaughter’s future was limitless… Looking at Grandma’s tear-filled face, Xiao Niannian secretly vowed in her heart. She must find a way to search for her mother and Older Brothers, and her biological mother, so that everyone could be reunited.

“Dad, I have photos of my mother and Older Brothers here, and I’ve drawn many pictures too. I want to find them…”

“Father will send people to investigate and search for this matter…” Chief Gu looked at Grandma Xiao and said with a serious expression.

“Aunt, I will do everything I can to find Niannian’s Adoptive Mother and Older Brothers… Niannian, Father will also find your biological mother, so everyone can be reunited…”

“Yes, Dad, I believe you.”

Hearing his daughter say she believed him, Chief Gu grinned.

“Niannian, you stay with your Grandma and chat. Father will go back and make a call, then you and Father will eat dinner together tonight. Father will cook for you.”

Grandma Xiao was a little surprised to hear that Chief Gu would personally cook.

She had heard Niannian mention before that Old Chief Gu and Chief Gu had personally cooked a few dishes, but she never expected to actually taste Chief Gu’s cooking now.

Lu Jing looked at Niannian and said.

“Congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

The previous congratulation was for Niannian’s achievements. This congratulation was for Niannian finding her biological father and finding her home.

Although Aunt Gu hadn't been found yet, he believed that Aunt Gu was definitely still alive and would be found soon.

He would also do everything he could to help Niannian find her biological mother, Adoptive Mother, and her two Older Brothers.

Chief Gu ran wildly towards the entrance of the Family Courtyard.

Many of the sisters-in-law in the Family Courtyard were chatting in the yard, and some were surprised to see Chief Gu coming out of the Xiao Family's yard.

“That seems to be Chief Gu.”

“Why did he go to the Xiao Family’s yard?”

“I heard this Chief Gu’s rank is even higher than a Division Commander’s.”

“What? Higher than a Division Commander’s rank? How high is that?”

“Anyway, I heard even a Division Commander has to salute him.”

“My goodness, that’s truly very high.”

Some older grandmas decided to come to the Xiao Family to see. They had also heard about Xiao Niannian’s promotion.

“Aunt Xiao.”

“Sister-in-law Xiao.”

“I heard your Granddaughter was promoted and became an officer.”

“Congratulations!”

Grandma Xiao heard the voices and opened the door.

She smiled and invited them in.

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing also looked towards the door.

“Xiao Xiao, you are truly amazing.”

“Aunt heard you were promoted, you are truly something!” An Aunt gave a thumbs-up.

Some people gathered around Grandma Xiao, while others gathered around Xiao Niannian.

“Aunt Xiao, your Xiao Xiao has been promoted now, she doesn’t have a partner yet, does she…”

“Aunt Xiao, now that Comrade Xiao has been promoted, it’s a good time to find a partner…”

Lu Jing’s brows immediately furrowed upon hearing these words.

Xiao Niannian also didn't expect that at a time like this, someone would still want to arrange a marriage for her.

She was still so young, it was the age to serve the motherland!
