Early in the morning, while the two children were still asleep, Chen Long quietly carried a large backpack of luggage that had been prepared and went to his mother's room to say goodbye to her. Then he walked lightly outside the village in the thick fog of the early morning.

As soon as he walked out of the entrance of the village, he was chased by the eldest sister Chen Meihua behind him.

"Ah Long, this is a few steamed buns and glutinous rice dumplings that the eldest sister made for you last night, you can take them and eat them on the road. I hope you can find your biological parents as soon as possible and find a good job that earns money as soon as possible. Since you are determined to go, you can take care of everything in the house, so as not to affect your work, okay? Listen to my eldest sister, and when you get to the provincial capital, do what you want, and I will take good care of everything at home!"

The eldest sister said, handing over the still hot bag of food to Long Chen.

Looking at the eldest sister's eyes full of expectation, Chen Long wanted to say the words in his heart, but he couldn't say half a word. He could only look at the eldest sister's incomparably kind face with affection, and his eyes were moist......

"Okay, don't look at it, let's go. If there is any situation, please remember to call back and tell me in time. Don't worry, if there is a situation at home, I will also call you as soon as possible. ＂

Long Chen nodded, stepped forward and hugged the eldest sister lightly, then turned around and strode away. The eldest sister was left standing there watching him......

After taking the train for most of the day, the train finally entered the provincial railway station. Chen Long carried a large luggage bag and walked out of the provincial railway station with the mighty flow of passengers.

He didn't come to the provincial capital many times, the first two times he came to the matchmaker introduction office to ask for his wife, and he stayed for a day or two. Basically, I haven't been there in the provincial town, and I am a hurried passer-by. Now it's the third time I've been here, and this time, it's time to stay here for a long time. In the next search for relatives and working to earn money, he made all kinds of preparations from the bottom of his heart.

It was already afternoon, and Chen Long found a simple and cheap hotel near the train station and arranged his accommodation.

After putting his luggage in his hotel room, he walked out and bought a map of the provincial capital at a grocery store on the street. I asked pedestrians on the street all the way, got on the bus, and came to the most prosperous and crowded area in the city center after several twists and turns.

The center of the provincial capital is crowded with people, and cars come and go, which is very lively. There are high-rise buildings everywhere, and you can't see single-room single-room single-family buildings in small county towns here. The streets are wide and bright, and there are beautiful and neat lush greenery everywhere......

Chen Long held the address slip in his hand copied from the letter, and carefully compared it with the door number posted on the street façade. Hehe, what street pavement number, it doesn't match the address and house number he copied, and there is no way to find the north here!

This is easy to understand, China has been developing everywhere in the past 20 years, and the development of large cities, especially provincial towns, has changed the most......

With a fortunate mentality, Chen Long took a note and tried to ask some older people, but the result was the same, no one knew about it. This situation was expected by him.

Although he was already prepared, after this half-day on-the-spot search and inquiry, Chen Long began to be at a loss, how to find it next?

Most of the day was wasted, and there was no gain. He had to drag his tired body and mind, and returned to the small hotel several times by turning the bus.

It was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and he took a hot shower. My stomach was so hungry that I started to 'growl'. So he opened the delicious dry food that his eldest sister had given him in the morning and took a big bite of it.

At this time, there was a few knocks on the closed door of the room, and an old man who looked to be in his seventies pushed the door in with a pot of hot water.

This is a small family-style hotel, and if you guess it is not mistaken, this should be the old owner of this family hotel. The old man replaced the empty kettle in the room and was about to go out, but Long Chen hurriedly stopped him and took out the dry food he had just eaten to share with him. And took out today's map of the provincial capital and asked him.

If the old man lived and grew up in this provincial town, he should know about the changes in the demolition and relocation of the provincial capital, and maybe he can help a lot.

The old man politely refused the food that Long Chen invited him to eat. After understanding what he meant, he took the map and came to the reception desk at the front desk on the first floor with Chen Long. Bringing his reading glasses, he first looked at the address note that Chen Long copied down, and then carefully looked at the map before saying to him:

"I can't help it, I can't find it. Over the years, the entire provincial capital has been re-regulated, demolished, and expanded too quickly. Moreover, the names of the streets in the area are not old, and they are basically brand new. Although I grew up in a provincial town, I have watched the changes in this provincial city for decades, but I still can't keep up with the changes. Every six months and a year, when I go out for a walk, I find that there are new changes! Not to mention the changes in the past ten or twenty years. If you really want to find the original old street address and house number, then I suggest you go to the demolition and relocation office to find out, the people in the demolition and relocation office should know the original old city street address and house number, and where the new relocation went...... All these demolition and relocation offices should know best. ”

The old man shook his head, folded the map, and handed it back to Long Chen.

Chen Long had no choice but to return to the small room where he lived, looked at the lights of the vast provincial city through the small window, and whispered:

"My relatives, I have come to look for you, you should be in this provincial town at this moment, where are you? Can you sense that I am coming for you? I hope we will meet and recognize each other soon......

Chen Long muttered to himself, he had made a plan in his heart, and he would go to the demolition and relocation office early tomorrow morning to inquire about the situation.

So he spread out the map of the provincial capital on the bed again, and looked at it carefully, his heart was full of complicated feelings......
