Forty-sixth: I want to buy the book back

"Still haven't found anyone?"

In the evening, Wen Shuting urged Huo Guanze to call the store in Shigang Village again, and Huo Guanze hung up the phone after saying a few words. Wen Shuting was a little anxious.

"People haven't come home yet. I left the phone, and Grandma He said that she would let Lu Chaoyi call. ”

Grandma He's phone did not have a caller ID, Huo Guanze called again, and Grandma He asked him to leave his phone number.

"It's almost dark, and they haven't gone home yet?" Gu Junbai, who was sitting on the side reading a book, asked after hearing this.

"Grandma He said that she had pulled a big net in the village, and the little girl went to help sort the seafood. Listening to Grandma He's tone, I am very happy, it should be a big gain. Huo Guanze was a little regretful: "It's a pity that this wouldn't be in Shigang Village, otherwise you would have been able to eat fresh seafood." ”

Huo Guanze, who loves seafood, is a slanderous fish.

"Ozawa, is my uncle coming back today? or is he still working overtime?"

I haven't seen Huo Guanze's father, Gu Junbai's uncle, for the past two days.

"My dad was like this a lot, and sometimes he didn't come home for days in a row. I haven't been home for two days, I'm afraid there will be another case in the bureau. Huo Guanze is used to it.

Huo Guanze's father is a policeman, and Huo Guanze's admission to Public Security University can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business.

"Case?" Gu Junbai suddenly remembered: "Uncle, shouldn't they be for the case that Lu Chaoyi said." ”

Huo Guanze also remembered.

"It's a real possibility. No, I'll have to call and ask. Huo Guanze was also worried about his father.

At the old wharf in Shigang Village, Lu Chaoyi and Lu Chaoning are helping to sort sea fish. Because of the good weather, Lu Jianzhang and Lu Chaohai, Lu Jianmin and several other families dragged a big net together and had a bumper harvest. Lu Chaoyi and Lu Chaoning, as well as several women and children, helped sort the sea fish and sort them according to their species and size, so that they could be sold at a good price when they were sold.

Several families were busy until more than nine o'clock in the evening, and the dinner was prepared by Grandma Lu and the fifth aunt, and the families had dinner in the middle of the night at Lu Chaoning's house.

After returning, Lu Chaoyi came out of the shower, and Grandma Lu hadn't slept yet, sitting in the living room waiting for her. Lu Chaoyi looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was past eleven o'clock.

"Grandma, why haven't you slept so late?"

"I lay down and remembered again, and I still haven't told you something. ”

Lu Chaoyi sat down beside Grandma Lu: "What must be said now, isn't it the same tomorrow?"

"I'm not afraid I'll forget it tomorrow. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"That's the case, in the evening, your grandmother He came over and said that the two young men you brought before, the young man surnamed Huo, called you. I called once in the morning, and called again in the evening, as if there was something urgent. Your grandmother He said it, and she asked the young man to leave a phone number and ask you to call him tomorrow. Grandma Lu took out a note and gave it to Lu Chaoyi: "No, this is the phone number." ”

Lu Chaoyi took it and looked at it, and there was a string of phone numbers for landlines written on the note. The handwriting on the paper is graceful, this is Grandma He's handwriting. The handwriting is very stylish, and this is not a handwriting that ordinary people can write.

Twenty years later, people use more electronic devices such as computers and mobile phones, and fewer and fewer young people can write well. In her previous life, because Lu Chaoyi was an orphan, in order to leave a good impression on the teacher, she had been practicing calligraphy since elementary school, and she was also good at writing.

Looking at Grandma He's handwriting, it seems that it is very likely that I heard that Grandma He used to be everyone's girlfriend.

"Grandma, do I want to ask you something?"

"What's the matter?"

"Grandma, what was Grandma He's name before, and was she also called He Chunhua?"

"When I married in Shigang Village, Sister-in-law Chunhua was called by this name, and I don't know if it was called this name before. What is this, you ask?"

Grandma Lu looked at Lu Chaoyi with a puzzled look in her eyes.

Lu Chaoyi smiled at her: "It's nothing, I'll just ask." ”

If Grandma He was really a lady before, then she would definitely not be called such a local name. But a few decades ago the situation was volatile, and it was not impossible for people to change their names for other reasons.

Lu Chaoyi was only a good time, so he didn't think much about it.

"By the way, grandma, are Lu Jianzhou and Lu Chaoba back today?" Lu Chaoyi suddenly remembered this.

She went out on the boat with Uncle Jianmin and them in the morning, and only came back in the evening, and she didn't know if Lu Jianzhou's father and son had returned.

"Yesterday, the village chief's grandfather asked Lu Chaoxiong to call Lu Jianzhou and them back, but no one came back until last night. It's been another day today, and I don't know if they've returned. ”

"Ouch, I forgot about that. I was busy in the field in the afternoon, and I didn't think about it. ”

Lu Chaoyi asked Grandma Lu to pay attention to this matter before going to sea, but Grandma Lu obviously forgot about it.

"Forget it, I'll check it out tomorrow. ”

The next day, Lu Chaoyi called Lu Chaoning and the two went to the beach for a run. Lu Chaoyi is endorsing while running, and Lu Chaoning also learns to land Lu Chaoyi when he sees it, and endorses while running. Looking at Lu Chaoning's appearance, it seems that he has really decided to repeat it.

After coming back from running, Lu Chaoyi went to Lu Chaoba's house first, knocked on the door for a while and didn't hear any movement inside, and no one came to open the door.

"Why is there no one? This family can't be so stupid, right?"

Lu Chaoyi opened the courtyard door and looked inside, but he didn't see half a figure.

"Ayi, are you looking for Lu Chaoba again?"

Lu Chaoba's next-door neighbor saw Lu Chaoyi and asked.

"Aunt Seven, have you seen their family?

Aunt Seven: "Ayi, don't look for it." Last night the lights weren't on in their house, and no one was home. Yesterday morning, Lu Chaoxiong went out with his wife and children, and he didn't know where he went, he was afraid that he had run away. ”

"Their home is here, where can they run. "This can run the monk and the temple, and they can never go home.

"Who knows, there's no one in their house anyway. I wish they had never come back. Ayi, you don't know, their family ......" Aunt Qi pulled Lu Chaoyi to complain to her about Lu Chaoba's family, saying how Lu Chaoba's family bullied their family, and how Lu Chaoba bullied their children.

Pulling Lu Chaoyi to talk for a long time, and finally waiting for Aunt Seven to stop, Lu Chaoyi hurriedly said: "Aunt Seven, I still have to go to the village chief's grandfather's house, I'll go first, next time, I'll listen to you later." ”

Lu Chaoyi left as if fleeing, and after turning the corner and seeing no one, Lu Chaoyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aunt Seven's nagging is really a fight with the village chief's grandfather. ”

Lu Chaoyi went to the commissary to call Huo Guanze again, although it would be too early, but she would have to go to the sea in a while, and Lu Chaoyi didn't care if Huo Guanze and them woke up or not.

The call came, and it took a while for someone to answer. As soon as Lu Chaoyi heard the voice, he recognized that it was Gu Junbai's voice.

Gu Junbai: "Hey, who is it?"

Lu Chaoyi: "Hello, I'm looking for Huo Guanze." ”

Gu Junbai: "Lu Chaoyi?"

Lu Chaoyi: "Yes, it's me. Please help me call Huo Guanze. ”

Gu Junbai: "Wait a minute. ”

The phone was put down, and I heard Gu Junbai's voice calling Huo Guanze over the phone, and Gu Junbai didn't talk to Lu Chaoyi anymore, after all, the two were really not familiar with each other. Lu Chaoyi was a little jealous of Gu Junbai.

After another minute or so, the phone was picked up again, and Lu Chaoyi heard Huo Guanze's panting voice.

"Hey, Lu Chaoyi, I'm Huo Guanze. Sorry to keep you waiting, I just went out for a run and came back. Huo Guanze explained, but Lu Chaoyi didn't care what he was doing.

"Grandma He said that you called me, what are you looking for me?" Lu Chaoyi asked directly.

Huo Guanze: "I have something I want to ask you. ”

Lu Chaoyi: "What are you looking for?Is something missing?" Except for this, Lu Chaoyi can't think of what Huo Guanze can do when he looks for her?

Huo Guanze: "No, I don't have anything left." Little girl, you can't remember what you bought at a second-hand bookstore near a county in the city last month?"

Lu Chaoyi was immediately displeased when he heard this, and he was annoyed: "Huo Guanze, are you investigating me?"

This was Lu Chaoyi's first reaction. Lu Chaoyi's first reaction was to suspect Huo Guanze of investigating her, instead of asking Huo Guanze what you know.

Lu Chaoyi's reaction is not normal for a child, but she is indeed not a real child. Lu Chaoyi asked this because she had long seen that Huo Guanze and Gu Junbai were from unusual backgrounds. Lu Chaoyi knows very well that no matter when or what era, privileges exist.

Huo Guanze didn't expect Lu Chaoyi to ask like this, he was stunned.

"What the hell? I'll investigate what you're doing, I'm full. Huo Guanze said angrily.

"Otherwise, how would you know that I went to a used bookstore to buy books?" Lu Chaoyi was still suspicious.

"Ouch, listen to me first, here's how it goes......"

Huo Guanze explained that Wen Shuting's grandmother had sold Wen Shuting's books by mistake, and that the proprietress of the second-hand bookstore said that Wen Shuting's books were bought by Lu Chaoyi.

Lu Chaoyi finally understood what was going on. It turned out to be because of the English version of "The Art of Computer Programming" that she bought.

"How can you be sure that I bought the book? Just because the proprietress said I bought it, you think I bought it. Maybe someone else bought it?"

Lu Chaoyi did not directly admit that she bought the book. She remembered that she put away all the books except textbooks that night, and Huo Guanze and the others could not have known that the book "The Art of Computer Programming" was in her hands. After the two of them left, she checked the locks in the room and the cabinet, and everything was fine.

"We're not sure if you bought the book, I'm just asking you if you bought it. If the book is actually bought, we want to buy it back. That book is very important to my brother, and if it is in your possession, I hope you can sell it back to us. “
