Chapter 627: Father and Daughter Misunderstanding

The next day, Zhang Haotian carefully got up, so he kissed Zhou Xueman goodbye, called him to the airport, and flew to Beijing.

Less than an hour in the sky, the plane landed at Beijing International Airport. After leaving the airport, Zhang Haotian directly summoned a taxi and asked him to drive to the first retreat. He had sent someone to inquire clearly that his grandfather and grandmother were currently living in it.

Walking south, walking through the crisscrossing streets and scattered overpasses. Although the roads in the city are wide, there are too many vehicles and the traffic is not much smoother than in S City. After more than two hours, the taxi gradually took him away from the city and came to a place with green trees and similar to a large manor. There is a five-star in the middle of the gate of Gaohong, with the red words "Beijing's No. 1 Retirement House" written below.

The taxi stopped a hundred meters away from the gate, and Zhang Haotian stopped a black suitcase and got off the bus with a cane, and slowly approached the gate.

There are two booths outside the main gate of the restroom, two soldiers holding steel guns and straight postures standing. Behind the door, there is a horizontal railing, four soldiers standing there, checking the passing vehicles, but most of the vehicles are directly released, so they are naturally very familiar, and the license plates of these cars are not comparable to ordinary cars.

As soon as Zhang Haotian walked to the railing, a soldier gave him a very standard military salute and said, "Old comrade, who do you want to go in and out? This place is not something you can come in and out casually."

Zhang Haotian nodded quickly and said, "I want to find the veteran General Qin Haiming. I heard that he lives in it now, right?"

The soldier looked at him and then said, "The veteran General Qin Haiming is indeed recuperating inside, but I want to ask who you are from him, so I can call to contact him."

Zhang Haotian said: "Just tell him that I came from Mongolia and brought news about his daughter Qin Lin and son-in-law Hadan Batel."

The soldier nodded and immediately went to the nearby booth to call and inform him. However, after a while, he saw him coming and said, "Old comrade, Old General Qin is at home and answered the phone, but he said that no daughter named Qin Lin, please go back immediately."

When he got here, he thought that he would soon be able to see his grandfather and grandmother, which was also his only two relatives in the world who were related to blood. Zhang Haotian's heart was full of hope, and he was excited. He didn't expect to hear such an answer. A heart suddenly fell into an ice cellar and said in disbelief: "Little comrade, please call him again. I really brought news about his daughter and son-in-law, as well as his grandson, named Hadan Battel, who is now growing up."

The soldier shook his head and said, "Old General Qin had already said it was very certain on the phone just now. He had no daughter and would not see you. You might as well please come back."

Seeing that he stopped reporting, Zhang Haotian sighed and slowly turned around. At this moment, he had already thought that his grandfather was unwilling to mention his mother. Could it be that his mother, who was strongly opposed and even under house arrest, had tried to escape from the monk and followed his father to a foreign country. He still felt resentful and refused to forgive his mother. If so, then things would be troublesome, and my mother would be in the dark, and I believe she would be very sad.

He was walking slowly forward, thinking about what to do next. After walking about two or three hundred meters away, he heard a car coming from behind and stopped beside him. Two people walked out of the car, one was a soldier who had just called him, and the other was a middle-aged woman wearing glasses, in her forties, wearing a light blue skirt, and looking very elegant.

At this moment, the soldier pointed at him and said, "It's him, this old comrade is looking for the old general Qin."

The middle-aged woman nodded and asked him to go back to his post first, then walked to Zhang Haotian, and extended her hand to him, "Hello, old man, I am Ma Fang, the health care doctor of the Old General Qin family. Zhao Qin, the wife of Old General Qin, asked me to invite you in. Can you get on the bus?"

Hearing this, Zhang Haotian was immediately overjoyed, agreed, and got into the black red flag car parked beside him.

The driver was also a middle-aged driver in the Hongqi car. When the door was closed, he turned around and headed towards the door of the restroom, and successfully passed the sentry at the door.

The car was driving slowly and rushing on the boulevard. Zhang Haotian sat in the back row and couldn't help but say to Ma Fang in the front passenger seat: "Ms. Ma, the sentry just now said that the old general Qin said he had no daughter and didn't want to see me, why did Mrs. Qin send you to pick me up?"

Ma Fang sighed and said, "Sir, this is a sad history of the old general Qin family. By the way, you are from Mongolia, and you speak very standard Chinese. Are you a person around Qin Lin? Is she okay now?"

Ma Fang said this, without doubt that he didn't know any news about his parents. Zhang Haotian was surprised and said, "Yes, I am from the royal family, why don't you seem to know about the eldest princess at all. Did the old general Qin and his wife never care about this daughter?"

Ma Fang's face was a little dark and said, "Let Mrs. Qin tell you about this, she is waiting for you."

While speaking, the car had already driven outside a courtyard and stopped. Ma Fang took Zhang Haotian down. There was a courtyard inside. Some roses and lilies were planted in the courtyard, and it was blooming in the wind.

Ma Fang invited Zhang Haotian into the main hall. It was not too big, and it was all made of wooden furniture. At this moment, an old woman dressed in plain clothes and half-white hair stood up and quickly walked to him, looked at him, and said, "Old sir, you are from Mongolia, how is my daughter living now? Tell me quickly."

Zhang Haotian stared at the old woman and saw that although her hair was half white, she was more black than white, with fair skin and not many wrinkles. She could still see her beautiful facial features in the past. She was wearing a very simple light blue short-sleeved dress, which was clean and elegant, and had a kind of ladylike temperament.

I knew in my heart that this was my grandmother Zhao Qin. Looking at her, Zhang Haotian suddenly felt like crying, but he quickly suppressed it and couldn't help but say, "Mrs. Qin, have you and the Old General Qin never asked about her since your daughter arrived in Mongolia, and have you forgotten about this daughter and everything about her?"

Hearing this, Zhao Qin's eyes were filled with tears. She called Zhang Haotian to sit on the wooden sofa, and asked Ma Fang to make tea. Then she sat opposite him and said, "Old sir, have you not asked your surname yet, did my daughter send you here?"

At this moment, Zhang Haotian did not want to tell his true identity, but said, "My surname is Zhang, I am a Chinese from Mongolia. It is indeed your daughter Qin Lin asked me to come."

When Zhang Haotian's answer came into Zhao Qin's ears, an excitement appeared on her face, and she said, "She...is she okay?"

Zhang Haotian stared at her and said, "Mrs. Qin, you haven't answered me yet. Over the years, have you not asked about your daughter's news? Also, why did the Old General Qin say that he didn't have this daughter just now?"

Zhao Qin listened to his tone of reproach, and then became silent again. After a long time, she said: "Mr. Zhang, you were sent by my daughter. I will tell you something about our family and her, and you will understand everything."

Speaking of this, she paused and said, "I was only twenty-two years old when I met our Lao Qin. I was still a female college student who had just joined the revolution. She was responsible for promoting the revolution in the political propaganda team. At that time, Lao Qin was 32 years old and was already the commander of the army. Once, the army won a great victory and held a party. I went to sing a song. Lao Qin saw me and shook hands with me, but he didn't expect that the next day, he asked the people from the Political Department to bring me a message saying that he fell in love with me and wanted to marry me..."

It seemed that he had fallen into memories of that era. Zhao Qin's voice slowed down and said, "When the people from the Political Department talked about this, I firmly opposed it at that time, because I had heard stories about Lao Qin. He was the son of a long-time worker in the north. Later, he didn't like the landlords exploiting and oppressing the poor, so he took a group of brothers to the mountain to be beards, specifically robbing the rich and helping the poor. He was very famous in the northeast. Later, General Yang Jingyu established a base in the northeast and knew that he had more than a thousand guns in his hand. Although he was a beard, he was loyal and conscience and never did anything to harm the people. He found him personally and used it for a whole day.

Time told him the revolutionary principles, which convinced him and became the main backbone of the later Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. After General Yang Jingyu died bravely, he still brought the remaining Northeast Allied Forces to deal with the Japanese between the White Mountains and Black Waters. He was injured more than ten injuries. Once, he was surrounded by the Japanese and the puppet Manchukuo army in the mountains in the severe winter. He relied on eating belts and bark to swallow snow blocks for two months, and killed more than a thousand enemies. When he finally came out of the mountain, he was 1.8 meters tall and hungry only 100 kilograms. Later, Lin Shuai entered the pass and joined the Northeast People's Liberation Army. Because of his brave war and a hot temper, he was called the 'Pi Li General'..."

Zhang Haotian had never heard of his grandfather's story. He imagined his mighty back then and said in his heart: "Genuine Qin is a hero, why don't you agree?"

Zhao Qin smiled slightly and said, "Because I came from a scholarly family in Jiangnan, my family is considered a famous family in the local area, and I have also attended college. I participated in the revolution because I couldn't stand the corruption of the Kuomintang. Lao Qin had no education and looked reckless. In addition, I was ten years older than me. To be honest, I didn't like him at that time. But later he came to me every day and told me about his past. After a long time of contact, my heart also changed. I felt that although his temper was not very good sometimes, he was sincere and very manly, so I married him and followed him to participate in the Liberation War. When Lin'er was given birth, he was 37 years old and I was 25 years old. He was very happy to have such a daughter. Especially Lao Qin, although he fought and killed all day long, he really liked Lin'er. As long as he had time, he would hold it in his arms and even change his diapers..."

Zhang Haotian himself also has Gegentana. Of course, he understands the special kindness of a tough father towards his daughter. He sighed: "I didn't expect it to become like that later. Does the old general Qin feel that Qin Lin didn't listen to him and married the Mongolian prince, so he no longer cared about her?"

Zhao Qin shook her head and said, "No, it's not like that. After I gave birth to Lin'er, I never got pregnant again, so I put all my heart on Lin'er and treated her as the pearl in my hand. Later, she fell in love with Hadan Zhaorige in college and said she wanted to marry him and go to Mongolia. Lao Qin disagreed and put house arrest, but Lin'er still found an opportunity to elope with Hadan Zhaorige and arrived in Mongolia. During that period, Lao Qin was indeed very angry and wanted to do so at any time.

The swearing made even the guards around him afraid of seeing him. However, after five or six years, he was older and thought more, and even took the initiative to tell me that I joined the revolution despite my family’s opposition and married a man who used to be a bearded leader. In fact, it was the same as Lin'er's situation. Although Hadan Zhaorige is a Mongolian, he is still a man. He regrets that he was too stubborn at the time and did not consider the feelings of his children."

Speaking of this, she continued: "So we two asked our acquaintances in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to inquire about Lin'er's situation in Mongolia. Later, this acquaintance told us that after Lin'er arrived in Mongolia, she held a grand wedding with Hadan Zhaorige and was named the eldest princess. However, the clan moved to a place and lived a good life. After hearing this news, Lao Qin and I were very pleased, but Lao Qin did not say that he wanted to contact Lin'er. I know that Lao Qin has a strong sense of face and wanted to wait for Lin'er to contact him and take the opportunity to step down, but..."

Hearing this, Zhang Haotian understood everything, his nostrils felt sour, and he said sadly: "But your daughter has never contacted you, right?"

Zhao Qin nodded slowly and said, "Yes, she never contacted us again. Lao Qin had been looking forward to it, but she was like she didn't come to us or even wrote a letter. I was a little anxious at that time and couldn't help but blame Lao Qin for being too strong back then. Not only did she oppose her daughter's marriage, but she also put her in house arrest. Lin'er must have hated us, so she wouldn't contact us. I remember that night that night, Lao Qin had the biggest temper in his life, smashed all the things in the house, and threatened me that I would not let Lin'er's name be in front of him, nor would I take the initiative to contact Lin'er, otherwise I would definitely divorce me. I know that his stubborn temper is what he said.

I didn't dare to do it. I thought Lin'er would always contact us. However, more than thirty years have passed, and China and Mongolia have already resumed normal diplomatic relations. Lin'er still didn't come to us. Mr. Zhang, let alone Lao Qin, even me, was actually angry. Lin'er did this. After all, we were her parents, and we did that at that time, and we were the ones who did it for her. Lao Qin had experienced many battles and encountered many hardships throughout his life, but he never took it seriously. Even at the peak of his career, he was deprived of military power and transferred to Beijing to work as a free job. He didn't complain. But Lin'er's indifference was what he cared about the most. Of course, he had to say that he didn't have this daughter."

She was angry, but after all, she was still thinking about her only daughter in her heart. She looked at Zhang Haotian and said, "Mr. Zhang, you understand what we and Lin'er are doing. Tell me quickly. What words did Lin'er ask you to bring us? Is she doing well now? How many children have she given birth to?"

Zhang Haotian's tears were already in his eyes at this moment, trying his best to prevent himself from crying. He finally adjusted his emotions and said softly: "Madam Qin, you and the Old General Qin have misunderstood your daughter. It's not that she doesn't contact you, but she can never contact you, because... because thirty-one years ago, she and Prince Hadan Zhaorige had already died together."

When Zhang Haotian's words came to Zhao Qin's ears, her body was as if she was shocked, and she suddenly shook, completely losing the calmness and elegance she had just now. She suddenly bounced up from the sofa and stared at Zhang Haotian and said, "You...what were you saying?"

Looking at grandma's expression and imagining the pain she was about to endure, Zhang Haotian couldn't bear to say anything more, but gritted his teeth and continued: "Your daughter and Prince Hadan Zhaorige were both unfortunately killed in a Mongolian royal battle thirty-one years ago."
