Chapter 006: American-born Chinese and Mixed-race Loli

The woman glanced at Guo Dalu and nodded, saying, "The watermelon is still sweeter in my hometown." Her tone carried a hint of inescapable nostalgia.

Guo Dalu felt curious in his heart, secretly consulted a fortune-telling manual, and quietly observed the woman's face, inwardly questioning: "What is the background of this woman?"

When Guo Qing returned, he was holding several apples in his hand and grinned, saying, "That old lady is really amusing. She said it is not easy for us to come out to do business in this scorching heat, and insisted on giving me a few apples."

A few people were conversing when another guest arrived to select a watermelon. An elegantly poised young woman accompanied by a six or seven-year-old girl approached. The little girl had a head full of adorable curly hair, and her large eyes sparkled like two bright jewels, brimming with innocent curiosity. Her fair and tender face resembled a delicate egg, as if it could be easily broken.

Understood. Guo Dalu nodded, "By the way, when are you returning to the United States? If it's convenient, could you leave me your contact information? I can also help you inquire; I have quite a few classmates and friends here."

Guo Dalu nodded slightly, and Wang Wenwu suddenly interjected from the side: "You can go to the Laojun Temple to pay your respects, it is particularly effective."

In my mind, the yarrow stalks began to tremble, emitting shimmering points of light, resembling fireflies on a summer night. Ultimately, these points of light converged into several phrases

The woman said: "Searching for relatives"

At this moment, Wang Wenwu, who was feeling somewhat depressed, also remarked: "This time it was a coincidence, but it cannot be this coincidental every time."

Guo Dalu nodded slightly and said "Hmm" to himself, thinking: "Tiedan is meticulous and thoughtful, but he does not know that I can read people's hearts and interpret divination symbols, so I would never misaddress anyone."

"Aren't we Chinese the ones who love to run to America the most?" Guo Dalu replied in a natural tone, "I have a habitual way of thinking"

At the age of 26, she married Branford, the Senior Vice President of Oracle Software Company, and the following year gave birth to a daughter named Moly, with the Chinese name 茉莉

At this moment, the mixed-race girl that Jiang Pei was holding said to Guo Dalu: "Thank you for helping my mommy, next time I will bring my chocolate for you to eat"

Jiang Pei took out a pen and a notebook from her bag and wrote her phone number and email address for Guo Dalu

Oh. Guo Dalu nodded and said: "Then, I wish you to find your family soon"

Wang Wenwu's lips curled slightly, resembling either a cold smile or a bitter smile, and for a moment he did not know how to refute Guo Dalu, as he had indeed guessed correctly this time; facts speak louder than words

Jiang Pei let out a bitter laugh and said, "Xiang County has 18 townships and over 360 villages. I don't know which year we need to find, and in our time, it was quite common to abandon baby girls. It's not that easy..."

Guo Tingkai looked at Guo Dalu, shaking his head slightly with a light smile. As a top student from a prestigious university that has established a modern scientific perspective, he naturally did not believe in such legends

Thank you very much, I truly appreciate it

Jiang Pei did not respond to the words of Wang Wenwu and Guo Qing, smiling as she said "thank you". Guo Dalu handed her a good watermelon, saying: "A total of 20 pieces"

Guo Qing went to deliver watermelons to the elderly lady. Guo Ting said to Guo Dalu: "Dalu, you should be cautious when trying to get close to the elderly. Referring to them as 'you two old folks' without knowing whether their partner is present can be a bit risky. What do you think?"

I will contact you immediately when I have news

By around 11:30, there were fewer than 50 watermelons left in the car. The watermelons that were expected to sell out in three days were completely sold out in half a day, much to the delight of everyone, including Guo Dalu.

Guo Tingkai said thoughtfully, "I have learned."

The little girl's voice is cute and pleasant, and everyone was amused

Jiang Pei's return to the country this time is to search for her biological parents

Certainly

It is a small effort, no need to be so polite

Guo Dalu said: "This is called treating others with sincerity; others will likewise respond to you with sincerity"

Jiang Pei took out her wallet to make the payment

Is that true? Jiang Pei's face showed joy, I will stay in China for another week, shall I give you my current phone number and email?

Guo Dalu, while picking watermelons by the roadside, casually said to the woman: "It is quite rare to see Chinese people and overseas Chinese in our county. Are you back home to visit relatives?"

Guo Ting, in a similarly pleasant mood, remarked: "The broad road is a gift from heaven"

Guo Ting nodded with a smile

Guo Dalu also smiled, but his feelings were somewhat complicated. If it were in the past, he would mostly not have believed it. However, ever since he added "Sun Wukong" as a WeChat friend, his worldview has been reshaped, and he has begun to maintain a sense of reverence towards those mysterious events

It turns out that they are from the same town as me, so they can be considered a fellow townsman

"It mainly relies on luck," Guo Dalu said with a smile, "Now is not the time to reveal Sun Wukong, this 'friend'"

Guo Dalu asked: "Since the scope has already been narrowed down to Xiang County, why not continue searching?"

Guo Dalu smiled and said, "Alright"

Guo Dalu's thoughts stirred, and the divination sticks responded on their own, revealing a line of text:

Then it is even more necessary to pay a visit

"Mixed-blood child," Guo Tingkai said softly

Jiang Pei handed the money to Guo Dalu and thought for a moment, saying: "After all, they are the ones who brought me into this world, and I also want to uncover the truth about being abandoned back then. You know, human curiosity..."

The woman said "thank you," then gave a self-deprecating smile and, in a somber tone, remarked: "I have been searching for ten years; this year is the final year. If I cannot find it this time, I will have no choice but to give up."

After Jiang Pei left with her daughter, Guo Tingkai suddenly asked Guo Dalu: "Dalu, how did you know she returned from the United States?"

Guo Qing felt at ease, and he noticed that Guo Da Lu always managed to find topics that interested the guests, effortlessly closing deals amidst laughter and conversation, continuing to express his admiration.

Guo Dalu gave a slight "hm" in response, approached with a smile, and said: "Authentic domestically produced watermelon, it's not easy to find abroad"

Jiang Pei's biological father is Zhang Haiguo, and her mother is Xu Xia. They are from Xiyu Township, Suji Town

Guo Qingdao: "The Laojun Temple is indeed very effective. In the past, a developer wanted to demolish the Laojun Temple to build houses, but as a result, he fell ill for a long time, and doctors could not diagnose his condition. Later, he visited the Laojun Temple and promised not to tear it down, after which he recovered."

How did you become so impressive, Dalu? It feels as if you can guess what they are thinking.

Jiang Pei, 33 years old, an American of Chinese descent, was abandoned by her biological parents 32 years ago. She was adopted by an American couple and brought back to the United States, where she later enrolled in Harvard University to pursue a medical degree

Guo Dalu could not directly tell Jiang Peizhen the truth, as that would be too strange, so he decided to take a roundabout approach

Guo Dalu nodded slightly, recalling that during his elementary school years, he had also seen an abandoned baby girl by the roadside. He continued to ask, "If that is the case, why bother looking for them?"

Guo Dalu smiled and said, "That is not necessarily the case"

Jiang Pei looked at Wang Wenwu, her face showing surprise, and said: "I was abandoned in front of the Laojun Temple at that time."

Upon hearing this, the old lady praised Guo Dalü for his sincerity

It turns out she is a Chinese American... Guo Dalu thought to himself, "Then I will be a good person to the end and help her find out who her biological parents are and where they live"

A little while later, an elderly lady came to buy watermelons. She wanted to buy five, but Guo Dalu suggested she buy three instead, explaining, "You two can only eat one in two days, so there is no need to buy so many. Watermelons spoil easily if left for too long"
