The end of the year is approaching, and it will be the New Year in two days, and it is time for the family to reunite.

The second sister Guo Yonghui, who is far away in the United States, does not mention it, Guo Yongkun often keeps in touch with her, she is a typical reading and enjoyment, after finishing a master's degree and a doctorate, she still wants to study for a postdoctoral degree after studying for a doctorate, and she doesn't know when she will be able to return to China.

But what made Guo Yongkun feel something was wrong was that Guo Xiaomei hadn't come back yet.

"She should be on vacation, right, how long has it been?" Li Xiumei was sitting on a small pony in the yard, picking up a bare old hen and giving it the final plucking.

After that, you can salt it and hang it to dry in the sun.

The Spring Festival gives everyone a different feeling.

For children, it is quite New Year's worth to be able to wear a new set of clothes, have a suitable toy, and eat delicious snacks. For many adults, after the Spring Festival every year, many things have gradually become accustomed or numb, and the only thing that can make them experience the taste of the New Year may be some unique flavors buried deep in their memories.

For example, cured chicken and bacon.

Guo Yongkun is like this, if you want to say that there will be fireworks in the New Year, he doesn't feel it at all. The so-called New Year's flavor, in his opinion, is a family sitting around a table and enjoying special food happily.

He is especially fond of hot pot with preserved products as the base, such as preserved chicken hot pot, bacon hot pot, preserved pork knuckle hot pot, etc. Therefore, the old Guo family has to make a lot of wax products every year, and now the conditions are good, it is even more amazing, and a few bamboo poles in the yard are hung full.

"I'm going to Linshui County today. Guo Yongkun said with a frown.

Of course, he could have called and asked, but after thinking about it, he decided to go because he always felt that something was wrong.

For example, Guo Xiaomei's money is spent quickly, and she has less and less contact with her family.

"It's fine. Li Xiumei nodded, the youngest son has a car, and it is not troublesome.

She also felt that something was wrong, and she was a little worried.

Alas...... It is often said that a daughter is a mother's intimate person, why is it different when it comes to her?

The eldest daughter is not to mention, she has great ambitions and is currently studying abroad. This little daughter could have stayed by her side, but she insisted on running outside, and now she basically doesn't go home.

It made her feel like she was a bit of a failure as a mother.

didn't wait for lunch, the road to a small place was not very good these years, so Guo Yongkun left early, so as not to be unable to come back before dark.

When he entered Linshui County, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and he drove directly to the Land and Resources Bureau.

"Closed?"

Not only was an office hall near the street closed by the Land and Resources Bureau, but even the iron gate was closed at the passage into the inner courtyard.

Guo Yongkun brushed it up, today is not the weekend.

So, it should have been a holiday.

So the question is, the units are all on vacation, Guo Xiaomei doesn't go home, where did she go?

"Toot, toot!" he pulled up in front of the iron gate at the entrance of the passage and honked his horn, a unit like this would normally have a gatekeeper.

Sure enough, after a dozen beeps, there was movement inside the iron gate, and an uncle with cotton shoes appeared in sight.

"Comrade, don't press it, it's all on holiday, no one. If there's anything to do, come back next year. He greeted through the iron gates.

Guo Yongkun got out of the car and asked with a smile, "Uncle, when is the holiday?"

"The day before yesterday. ”

It's been two days off, and Guo Xiaomei hasn't gone home yet? Guo Yongkun's heart sank.

He took out a pack of Great China from his trouser pocket, stepped forward, and handed it to the janitor. The uncle looked at the cigarette case and took the cigarette, and gently put it in his pocket.

"Uncle, I'll ask you about something. ”

"What?"

"Guo Yongjuan, do you know each other?"

"Oh, Xiaojuan, I know, what's wrong?"

"Do you know where she is?"

The uncle stared at his face, feeling a little similar to Xiaojuan, probably her relative. He heard that Xiaojuan's family has a good background, but it is true, they all drive cars.

"She's supposed to go home for the holidays. Are you her?"

"Brother. ”

The uncle suddenly said that it looked like it.

Guo Yongkun frowned and said, "Uncle, since I came here specially, you should be able to see that she didn't go home." Will she go back to her dorm at night?"

Guo Xiaomei is a bastard, Guo Yongkun decided not to go back today, just guard her here!

I haven't gone home on annual leave, I've gotten sheep!

"Dorm? She's already moved out. ”

"What?" Guo Yongkun was slightly stunned and asked, "When did it happen?"

"Yo, maybe it's been a few months. ”

Guo Xiaomei actually moved out of the dormitory...... Why?

Is it because the environment is not good, or is there another reason?

But the problem is, if she really thinks that the dormitory conditions of the unit are poor, she can tell her family, isn't this a good excuse to ask for money?

Therefore, Guo Yongkun is more inclined to the latter, and there may be another hidden secret!

"Uncle, do you know where she moved?"

"Yo, I don't know. ”

Then find someone who knows, no matter what, Guo Yongkun must find Guo Xiaomei today!

I'm going to open her ass flowers!

"Uncle, the director of your unit, Director Sun, is the leader of Xiaojuan, do you have his home phone number?"

"Nope. The uncle shook his head. "But...... There should be a roster in the office, and I have the key. ”

Guo Yongkun directly stuffed a bag of Great China into his hand, and said busily: "Uncle, help, trouble, this is the New Year, I can't find anyone, I don't go home on vacation, and the family is very anxious." ”

"Okay, you wait. After the uncle put away the Chinese flower, he turned around and left.

After waiting for about five or six minutes, Guo Yongkun had an extra note in his hand.

He drove out of the Land and Resources Bureau, found a supply and marketing cooperative, and dialed the phone call.

But he didn't ask Director Sun directly, but inquired about the address of the other party's house and said that he would come to visit.

Mainly when he sent Guo Xiaomei to work, he hinted at others and asked him to help take care of Guo Xiaomei, and he would say something in the future, but he never came.

So naturally, it's not good to ask people for help directly.

bought some gifts on the spot, Guo Yongkun inquired all the way, fortunately the journey was not far, and it took more than 20 minutes to finally come to Sun's house.

It is a two-story red brick house facing the street, and there is almost no real community in a small county like this in these years.

"Mr. Guo, come here, what else do you bring. Director Sun specially went out to greet him, and he probably stood outside for a while.

Because the subordinates have a lot of relationship with the person in front of him, he will always inadvertently pay attention to the news of Jianlibao when he reads the newspaper, and he already knows that Jianlibao has carried out reforms, and this is completely in charge of Jianlibao, no longer the factory director, but the general manager.

Put it in the past and be a big capitalist.

"Isn't this the Spring Festival coming, and the right to worship the early years. ”

There is a child in his family, twelve or thirteen years old, which makes a red envelope prepared by Guo Yongkun a long time ago have a natural way to deliver it.

"Come, little one, press the year. ”

The little boy took it with an excited look on his face and ran into the bedroom with a cigarette.

"This kid is really ......," Director Sun scolded with a smile.

After his daughter-in-law poured Guo Yongkun a cup of tea, she also went to the bedroom. But as soon as I entered the door, I was startled, and I saw that on the bed, my son had already opened the red envelope, and the old man's head was exposed one by one, a full 800 yuan!

"Oh my God, who is this man?"

After a while, she walked over and confiscated all his New Year's money, ignoring her son's grinning appearance.

"Mom, how can you do this, someone gave it to me!"

"I'm afraid you're dizzy, such a big amount of money, you dare to use it as a little kid?" After the woman finished speaking, she took out a handful of bits and pieces from her pocket, took out a five-dime from it, and handed it over, "Huh." ”

“......”

In the hall, after Guo Yongkun chatted with Director Sun for a few words, he began to get to the point.

"Director Sun, I heard that Xiaojuan didn't live in the dormitory of the unit and moved outside, do you know about this?"

"Oh, yes. Director Sun smiled and nodded, "She told me that the conditions of the dormitory in my unit are really not good, and she must not be used to it, so it is better to rent a bigger house by herself." ”

"Do you know where she moved to?"

Director Sun was slightly stunned, looked at the other party, only to realize that something was wrong, and said in surprise: "You don't know?"

In his opinion, such a young lady, the family will definitely come over every once in a while, anyway, it is not too far away, how can it be impossible not to know the other party's residence?

"I don't know. ”

After receiving Guo Yongkun's affirmative answer, Director Sun understood the real purpose of his visit today.

"So, Xiaojuan didn't go home either?"

Quite a smart man.

Guo Yongkun nodded and said: "So I feel wrong, it stands to reason that a unit like yours is about to celebrate the New Year, and it should be a holiday, so I will come here today to take a look." ”

"But Mr. Guo, I really don't know where she lives, I know the approximate location, I heard her mention it. After all, this kind of thing is usually not inquired about. ”

That's right, a big man, or a leader, why do you have nothing to inquire about a little girl's residence?

"Are there any colleagues in that unit who play well with her, they know?" asked Guo Yongkun with a frown.

"Possibly. Director Sun nodded subconsciously, suddenly thought of something, and glanced at the other party with a little hesitation. "Mr. Guo, there is something I don't know whether to talk about or not. ”

What should not be said, must be said!

Guo Yongkun came over this time to find out what kind of plane Guo Xiaomei was doing.

"It's okay, you say. ”

"Xiaojuan, she may be in charge. ”

In fact, Guo Yongkun thought about this situation, so he didn't act too surprised. Guo Xiaomei is the target, he has no objection, after all, he is also in his twenties.

He was depressed, you will be dealt with when you deal with it, why do you want to hide it from your family?

Do you often use excuses to cheat your old mother out of money?

Why, isn't it possible to wrap up a little white face?

"Tell me more about it. ”

"I also heard from the people below about this, it is said that I have seen a few times when I got off work, there was a man waiting for Xiaojuan outside the unit. ”

Isn't this a normal thing, a girl like Guo Xiaomei is at the age of falling in love, but why are you frowning? Guo Yongkun captured a key point from the other party very well.

"Director Sun, do you know anything else?"

Director Sun hesitated for a while, he really had to pay a little attention to Guo Yongjuan's matter, and learned about a not very good situation.

"I heard...... The man was a second-rate man. ”

"What?" Guo Yongkun was so furious that he almost didn't lift the table.

Yes, he is not against Guo Xiaomei falling in love, but the premise is that you have to talk about a serious person!

He doesn't even care if the family conditions are good or not, but people must be decent!

There is no mistake
