Teacher Ma originally planned to take Huang Ying to the county seat, but Huang Ying shook her head vigorously.

Thinking that she was born and raised in the provincial capital, no matter how lively the county town is, it is not as lively as Yanyang, and no matter how well it develops, there is no prosperity in Yanyang, Teacher Ma simply took her back to her parents' house, let Han Chaoyang's grandmother meet her granddaughter-in-law, visit her eldest brother Ma Fengjun, who just returned home yesterday, and then go to the house of the two younger sisters who are not far from married.

Huang Ying really likes the beautiful scenery of the mountain village, and frequently takes photos with her mobile phone along the way.

It's like a child who doesn't grow up, he is curious about everything, and he always asks this and that.

In Ms. Ma's mind, she is a child, willing to answer any questions she has, riding an electric car to talk and laugh, and really feel what it means to be happy.

"Mom, there are no people in the village, all the young people have gone out, why are they still building so many big and beautiful houses, many of them are empty, and no one usually lives at all!" Huang Ying asked curiously, passing by a person who was building a house.

Mr. Ma glanced back and said with a smile: "For those of us in the countryside, the house in our hometown is a kind of home. No matter where you work hard, as long as the old house is still there, as long as there is still a house in your hometown, it is like there will always be a way out and a sustenance. If you have been struggling outside for many years, but the house in your hometown is gone, it is like turning into grass without roots, and your soul has nowhere to stay. ”

"So important!" Huang Ying muttered.

Teacher Ma smiled and continued: "The house in my hometown is also a bond to maintain family affection. As long as the old house is still there, you can come back when you have time, and this family can still be reunited, and it is still complete. If the house is gone, the family will be scattered, and the family affection will fade, and no amount of money will be able to buy it back. ”

"No wonder every time my dad goes back to his hometown, he complains that he didn't build a house in his hometown. ”

"Your dad doesn't have a house in his hometown?"

"No, it was difficult before, my grandparents gave birth to several more, my uncle still lived with my grandparents and uncles and sister-in-law when he got married, my father went to the army to be a soldier, how can there be his house in his hometown. ”

"Where are you going back and staying now?"

"Live in my uncle's house," Huang Ying raised her arm and pointed to a small two-story western-style building not far away, and said with a smile: "My uncle's house is similar to the previous one, with seven or eight rooms upstairs and downstairs, all of which are suites, but they are not decorated, there is no furniture, and it looks a little empty." ”

"It's like that in the countryside. ”

A car came in front of him, and Mr. Ma hurriedly leaned to the side of the road, stepped on the ground and held on to the handlebars and sighed: "For some people who work hard outside, the house in their hometown can provide for the elderly." Although he worked hard to settle down outside and became a city person, he was still a peasant at heart and did not really get used to city life. When people are old, they are homesick, and when they are old, they can go back to their hometown to grow vegetables, fish, feed the chickens, find childhood friends to drink some wine and play small cards, life starts here, and ends here, which may be one of the reasons why the hometown house is usually not lived, but how to build it. ”

In the end, he is a teacher, or he doesn't speak, and when he speaks, it's all the truth!

Huang Ying sneered and couldn't help asking, "Mom, will Chaoyang be homesick when he gets old, and will he come back to care for the elderly?"

"Think so far, how old are you?" Teacher Ma couldn't help laughing, thinking about it and sighing: "The times are different, those who are about the same age as you and those who are smaller than you don't have these concepts, they all like to go to the big city to work and live in lively places, and they may have feelings for their hometown, but they definitely don't value their hometown as much as our generation." ”

……

Just when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting, Han Chaoyang had already rushed to Sutou Village, where Huo Xuebin's house was located.

His family built a three-story small western-style building on the mountainside, with imitation marble tiles on the outer walls, aluminum alloy doors and windows, and many decorative materials such as Roman columns, which are particularly conspicuous in the village where there are many buildings but the exterior walls are not much decorated.

At the entrance is a ground poured with cement, which can dry grain during the summer and autumn harvests, and can be used as a parking lot for a dozen cars, and at the same time, it is conceivable that his family may have been the richest in the village a few years ago.

Huo Xuebin's father Huo Jianliang was at home, Instructor Wang had just finished the introduction, and seeing that the police in Yanyang were "ghostly" coming to the door, he was very emotional, under the pretext that he had something to go out, and stopped from time to time while pushing the electric car to the entrance of the village and shouted: "Woe to your parents, not to your wife and children, Xuebin is breaking the law, you are looking for Xuebin, what is it to come to me twice in three days!"

He has a heart condition, so be careful with him.

Han Chaoyang didn't dare to be too strict with him, so he caught up and said with a smile: "Lao Huo, don't worry, I'm here to understand the situation and talk to you casually." ”

"There's nothing to talk about!" Huo Jianliang waved his left hand and said angrily: "I still say the same thing, if you don't want money, you have to die! I admit that I, who is an old man, have not educated my son well, you can arrest me and go to prison." ”

"He's him, you're you, and he's an adult, and he's not a minor who doesn't know anything, just like you just said, 'Woe to your parents, not your wife and children', no matter what he has done, we can't arrest you." ”

"Then what are you doing here!" Huo Jianliang stopped, pointed to his house and said: "I want money, right, I've said a hundred times that I don't have money! ”

I have never seen such an unreasonable person who actually relies on the government!

He is definitely an insider, he is absolutely in collusion with his son, and he can't ask anything again, not only can't he ask anything, but he may even ask for trouble, in case he has a heart attack and falls to the ground, he can't explain the reason at that time.

Han Chaoyang could only give up and return to his house to find his daughter-in-law.

In fact, Huo Xuebin's wife's first reaction was also to run, but her movements were not as fast as her father-in-law, and she did not suffer from heart disease like her father-in-law, and was stopped at the door by Instructor Wang and Xiaoqian.

"Yu Yalan," Han Chaoyang grabbed the faucet of her electric car, and said very seriously and sincerely: "You have been in high school, you should be sensible and should know some law." What your lover took away is not public money, but the hard-earned money of migrant workers, people trust your lover to do it with your lover, but you can't get the last penny, some wait for the money to see a doctor, some have children at home to go to school, waiting for the money to pay tuition and living expenses, compare your heart to heart, empathy, do you say this money should be given to others?

"Officer Han, I don't know where he is. ”

"Don't know?" Han Chaoyang asked rhetorically, staring at him with cold eyes: "Comrade Yu Yalan, everyone is responsible for what they do, and they are also responsible for what they say. Huo Xuebin is now a fugitive who is wanted to be arrested by the public security organs, that is, a fugitive, and he knows it but says he doesn't know, this is harboring and shielding, and he must bear legal responsibility!"

"Yu Yalan, you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children. Instructor Wang lost no time in saying: "Huo Xuebin absconded with the money, the child already has a fugitive father, if you are suspected of harboring and covering up, how can you let the child hold his head up in the future, and how will he live in the future?"

"More than 20 million is not a small number, but this case is not a big one," Han Chaoyang took over the conversation and persuaded him step by step: "In the final analysis, this is an economic crime after all, not murder and arson, as long as your lover can take the initiative to surrender to the public security organs, as long as you can actively return the stolen goods, you can strive for leniency, it is estimated that you will be able to come out in two or three years, and your family will be able to reunite and start a new life."

If he hides outside like this and doesn't come back, this case will not be closed for a day, we will continue to investigate, and we will come to you twice in three days. He hides outside and is worried, and you follow and worry at home, not only will you be talked about, but you will be looked down upon wherever you go. Is money really that important, there are a lot of things that can't be bought with money, and besides, you have hands and feet, and you don't have to earn it anymore, why do you want to do it for some money!"

It sounds reasonable, but is more than 20 million so easy to earn?

Yu Yalan was unmoved, avoiding Han Chaoyang's gaze, staring at a small tree in the distance and being silent.

As he was talking, the iron door of his house was closed from the inside with a bang, it should have been closed by Huo Xuebin's mother, the old lady obviously didn't want to see the police, obviously didn't want the police to enter the door.

When it comes to so much money that is impossible for a person or even a family to earn in a lifetime, the work of this family is not not very easy to do, but very, very difficult to do, Han Chaoyang realized that he had run in vain, sighed secretly, and quietly took out the police and public contact card: "You take this, there is my mobile phone number on it, and it is estimated that you also have the contact information of Instructor Wang, think about it carefully, and call us when you figure it out." ”
