In Search of a Lover's Daughter (Family Ethics, Novella) Zhang Baotong 2017.2.21

I followed Xiang Lin out of the house and said to Xiang Lin, "I don't think he wants to help." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Xiang Lin said, "He knows, but if he doesn't say it, you can't do anything." ”

The two of us walked towards the Luojiang Bridge as we talked, and we were about to walk to the other side of the bridge. I suddenly said to Xiang Lin, "No, I still have to find that Spring Festival couplet." ”

Xiang Lin said, "It's useless, if he doesn't want to tell you, he definitely won't tell you." ”

But I wanted to try again, and his refusal to tell me Huihui's address suggests that there must be something hidden here. Xiang Lin also said to me, "It's useless for you to go." Why do you think their family can afford to build such a luxurious three-story building, but I'm afraid that their family is running a factory and becoming a big official?"

I said, "Then I should know where Huihui is." ”

Xiang Lin nodded and said to me, "If you want to go, you can go, I won't go with you." If you can't catch the bus late, you can come to my house again. ”

I said, "It depends, if I don't go to your house, I'm gone." ”

The two of us broke up, Xiang Lin went home along the river embankment, and I went to Shuimo Village along the same road. At a shop on the side of the road, I bought a hibiscus king cigarette and two large bags of fruit. Then I came to the Spring Festival couplet's house. As soon as I knocked on the door, he asked who. I didn't say anything and kept knocking. As soon as he opened the door, he saw me coming with two bags of things, and he frowned and said, "Why are you here again?"

I said, "It's not settled, of course I'm coming." With that, he went straight into the living room and put his things on the coffee table. The Spring Festival couplets couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said, "I told you that I don't know, and if I don't know, I don't know." Why are you here again?"

I sat down on the coffee table, picked up the thermos, poured myself a glass of water, and said, "It's not that you don't know, it's that you don't want to tell me." ”

The Spring Festival couplets became popular and said, "I just don't want to tell you, what's wrong?"

I said, "You know, I'm from Xi'an, and you can't just send me away without knowing anything." To tell you the truth, I am Huihui's biological father, and I want to know where she is now and how her life is. ”

Hearing this, Chun Lian sat on the sofa next to him and said in a soft tone, "Today, when I saw you and Xiang Lin come together to inquire about Huihui, I knew that you were Huihui's biological father." ”

I asked, "How do you know?"

Chun Lian said, "I'm afraid that the people in Chaling don't know about it, and only Youliang is still in the dark." ”

I said, "Actually, Youliang also knows, but he deliberately pretends not to know." ”

The couplets said, "That's right." ”

I said, "I haven't been back since I left Chaling, I don't know that Yingmei lives so miserably, if I had, I would have taken Yingmei and Huihui to Xi'an." I came from Xi'an yesterday, I heard Xiang Lin say that Yingmei is gone, I am so sad, and I heard that Huihui has not been happy since she was a child, I want to bring Huihui to Xi'an, I am now the deputy director of the Education Bureau, I can make Huihui's life better. So, that's where your help comes in. ”

Chun Lian hesitated for a moment, then said, "You wait, I'll give my cousin a call." ”

I immediately took out my phone and said, "Just use my phone to call." ”

I used my mobile phone to call the guests. The phone was connected, and the Spring Festival couplets said, "Do you know where Huihui is now?"

He replied, "What do you do here, and what do you care about her?"

Chun Lian said, "Something happened to her family, and her father wanted to find her." ”

After hesitating for a while, he said, "I haven't seen her for a long time, and I've heard from others that someone has seen her on the street at Caotangkou." Then, he asked, "What the hell is going on in her house?"

The Spring Festival couplets immediately squeaked and said, "Her father is not in good health and wants her to send some money back." ”

He replied, "I'll tell her when I see her." ”

Hanging up the phone, the Spring Festival couplets said to me, "In Caotangkou, Wuhan." ”

I took the phone and asked, "Where is Caotangkou in downtown Wuhan?"

"I don't know, it seems to be quite close to the river." ”

I said, "Thank you." And he got up to leave.

The Spring Festival couplets immediately reminded me, "Don't say that I said this to you." ”

I said, "Yes." ”

When I left Shuimo Village, it was already noon, and it was time for lunch. So, I went to the town next to the riverside bridge to have some food, then took the car back to Linjiang City, and then bought a train ticket to Wuhan to go to Wuhan.

The train was running in the middle of the afternoon, and the sound of tinkling and clanging made people feel very monotonous and dull, so I leaned back in my seat and snoozed with my eyes idle. In her mind, she was thinking about how to bring Huihui to Xi'an and guide and arrange everything for her in the future. The biggest regret and debt in my life is that I am sorry for Yingmei and Huihui. They are the dearest and most difficult relatives in my life. Although Yingmei has left, I don't want Huihui to follow Yingmei's old path again.

People live in the world, not only for themselves, but also for others, to be precise, for their loved ones, for their favorite and dear people. Now that I'm divorced and my son is with his wife, I can only think of Huihui as my closest relative. As long as she can live well, I can rest easy.

When I came to Wuchang Railway Station, it was evening, but the sky was still bright. As soon as I got out of the car, I blocked a taxi and the driver asked me where I was going. I said go to Caotangkou. The driver shook his head and said he hadn't heard of it. I said it seemed to be not far from the river. The driver said then I'll pull you to the river.

When I got to the riverside, I got into another taxi and asked the driver, "Do you know how to get to Caotangkou?"

The driver said, "I run a taxi every day, do I need to ask this?"

Originally, I thought that Caotangkou was very close to the river, but the taxi ran for more than 20 minutes and pulled me to a place quite far from the river. I got out of the car and stood on the street, not knowing where to go. So, I asked pedestrians how to get there. Pedestrians say that this is the mouth of Caotang. Originally, this small street was called Caotangkou. I walked all over the street, and the whole street was only two or three kilometers. I called the cousin of the couplets and asked, "Where are you?" because her phone number was on my phone.

She asked me, "Who are you?"

I said, "I'm one of your customers. "Because customers are something that no one can ignore in business.

She said, "How I don't remember you." ”

I said, "But I remember you." ”

She said, "Where are you?"

I said, "I'm on the street at Caotangkou." ”

She said, "You go north, and there's a shop on the north side of the street called 'Summer Lotus.' I'm in the store. ”

After hanging up the phone, I walked along the street to the north, and after a while, I found the "summer lotus". It's not big, it's like a barbershop. Looking through the glass door, there were no customers in the store, only three or two cheesy-looking girls. I pushed the door open and looked inside, and asked, "Is this the 'Summer Lotus'?"

One of the girls immediately got up and smiled at me, "Yes, come in." ”

As soon as I saw that the girl seemed to be treating me as a guest, I immediately said, "I'm here to find Chen Huihui." ”

However, before the girl could reply, a thirty-year-old woman came out of it, and although her figure and appearance were presentable, she was humane with a fierce and vicious face, and said, "There is no Chen Huihui here. Look elsewhere. So saying, he drove me out. I want to tell her that I'm from Linjiang Chaling. However, she didn't listen to me and pushed me out. I had no choice but to stand not far from the "Summer Lotus" and wait to see if I could meet Huihui.
