Zhang Guochang's clay kang is made of sorghum leather, and it has been used for two or three years. m. There is a circle of the kang head that has turned yellow, but it is wiped clean and hot, and it is very comfortable to sit on it.

Yu Cailan looked at the calendar on the wall in 1986, and it was only mid-October, but she felt that the weather outside was already as cold as November in her previous place.

In front of her, there was a map, and after reading it, she knew that Ningzhou was located in the western part of China, and its northwest border was next to the national border, and the people here were relatively strong, and the public security situation was more complicated.

She looked at it for a moment, then set the map aside. Then sit next to Teacher Xia and watch her change her waistband.

Teacher Xia saw that Yu Cailan was thinly dressed, so she took the time to find a few clothes, pants and sweaters for Yu Cailan that her daughter wore in the afternoon, and took them out to show Yu Cailan. Of course Yu Cailan will not dislike it, she is at this point, someone takes her in and finds clothes to wear, that is a blessing.

The clothes that Mr. Xia is looking for are relatively new, which is not bad in this era. Her daughter's figure is a little fatter than Yu Cailan, and it is easy to say elsewhere, but the waist gap is more obvious.

So Mr. Xia put on reading glasses, measured Yu Cailan's waist size, and changed all those pants for her.

The sewing machine kept ringing, and the old man was quite flexible in threading needles and threads. This kind of old-fashioned sewing machine will not be used at all, so she can only watch the old man change it for her.

But she is not used to accepting other people's kindness, so looking at the old man who clicked on the sewing machine in the afternoon sunset, her nose was a little sour.

She looked closely at the clothes, shoes and socks she was wearing, which were similar to those worn by the people on the street. The money in her pocket was also common at this time, so she felt that the possibility of her landing out of thin air on this plane without identity was almost zero. If that's the case, that's a good thing.

If she really has no identity, how can she make it out of thin air? In the face of a powerful state apparatus, the individual is very small.

She pulled out the money again, looked at them one by one, and found a small note in the middle of the two notes, which was a six-digit phone number. There is only one "Zhang" character on it. It's a pity that two digits in the middle of the phone number are soaked with water, and I can't tell how many they are.

After seeing this note, her mind was quite confused, this was obviously her writing. When she writes the character "Zhang", she is used to writing the "long" on the right in traditional Chinese, and the last stroke is very powerful.

"Mr. Xia, is there a phone here, I want to make a call. Yu Cailan saw that it was not dark outside, so she wanted to make a phone call and try it.

"Well, yes, let Lao Zhang take you there, at the village commissary. It just so happens that there is almost no salt at home, so I will bring some back by the way. Teacher Xia's eyes rested on the bridge of his nose, and he raised his eyes and said to Yu Cailan.

After hearing this, Zhang Guochang hurriedly got off the kang, put on his shoes, put on his clothes, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you there." ”

Along the way, Zhang Guochang has been quite silent, led Yu Cailan through a few streets, turned a corner, and arrived at a bungalow with "Limin grocery store" written on it, opened the door, the shopkeeper with a slightly high nose bridge and sunken eye sockets saw that it was Mr. Zhang, and asked him: "Lao Zhang, what should you buy?" Yo, whose family is this girl? Why haven't you seen it?"

"Take two bags of salt, she's a distant relative of mine, she's here to find some work. By the way, don't you have a phone here? Borrow her to use it, and count it as much as I want. Zhang Guochang didn't know much about Lan Cai, the shopkeeper listened to it, and glanced at Yu Cai Lan, Zhang Guochang obviously didn't want to talk more about this matter, so he naturally didn't want to ask again, he still had this look.

"Look at what you said, Uncle Zhang, you don't need to call a few times a year, what money you want, you can't ask for it. The shopkeeper said and pointed out the phone to Yu Cailan.

"Thank you" Yu Cailan said, and when she walked over there, Zhang Guochang and the shopkeeper consciously didn't go over. So I couldn't hear what Yu Cailan said over there.

There are two numbers on the note that can't be seen clearly, and the area code must be added in front of the province, which area code is not known to Cailan, so she can only try her luck randomly, and after one is connected, tell her that he is not surnamed Zhang, and the other party will hang up after speaking.

I finally got through again at the back, and soon a woman's voice said, "Hey, Xinyu Flower Shop, do you need anything?" After the phone was connected, a girl's voice came from there for the first time.

Yu Cailan thought to herself that the call had been made again, but this time I don't know if I can ask something related to her?

"Hey, hey......" Seeing that no one squeaked, I thought it was strange, who called?

Just as I was about to hang up the phone, I heard a girl's voice say, "May I ask if your surname is Zhang?"

"Well, no, I don't have the surname Zhang. In fact, the female owner of the store is surnamed Zhang, but the female clerk has doubts about the identity of the person who called, and is worried that she is here to inquire about their boss's information. Recently, the female boss of their shop has been messing up a lot of things at home, and the two of them often quarrel, who knows who is calling this woman?

"Oh, has there been a girl in her twenties or fourteens who has been in contact with you recently, or have you left her a phone number?" asked Yu Cailan.

"I'm sorry, there are so many customers every day, many of them are young girls, I don't know who you are talking about, I don't know who you are talking about? The girl was reluctant to answer.

But what she said is also true, business people, often leave phone numbers for customers to contact. If she had a name, she could look it up, and she didn't know who it was without a name.

"Where is your store?"

Oh, I can't tell her when I inquire about the place, the female clerk thought to herself, so she said, "I'm sorry, someone is coming." With that, he hung up the phone.

After the customer bought the flowers and left, the clerk who sold the flowers thought to himself, "Did he think that the phone call was for a business?"

Anyway, didn't the girl who came to order the flower pot at noon the day before say that she would bring someone to pick it up today? Why hasn't she come yet? The girl shook her head and began to sort out the new cut flowers.

After Yu Cailan hung up the phone, she didn't call again, the phone bill was expensive, and she didn't have much money. She walked out in silence and thanked the shopkeeper, Zhang Guochang and the shopkeeper pushed and pushed, and finally left the money for the call, and the two left the Limin grocery store.

On the way back, Zhang Guochang saw no one on the road, so he asked Yu Cailan in a low voice: "Girl, I see that you are wearing very thin clothes, and your accent is like that of Yizhou, why did you come here to find a job? ”

In the house, Zhang Guochang pondered about it, and the girl didn't say where she came from, and she didn't bring anything, so she came out with the backpack on her back. To say that he is here to find work is really far-fetched.

So when the two of them were alone, he tried to ask her if she had anything unspeakable.
