Chapter 9 The search for relatives is in the city

I went to the city to find my relatives

On the way home from the village chief's house, Yan Yongnong thought: "This kind of newspaper alone is too limited, and the child's parents may have published it in other big newspapers, or they may be broadcasting the child's "Missing Person Revelation" on the TV broadcast. , or in the streets and alleys of a big city, "Missing Person Revelation" is plastered. If you want to get information about the children from these media, you have to go into the city. It's just that there are so many cities in the country, who knows which city his family is in? He doesn't have that much ability, so much money, and he can run to every city in the country with his children. ”

"Maybe the children are in the city not far from here, and the children who are too far away will not end up here. He looked at it.

"Take the child to the city closest to home, Hot Spring City, to try your luck!" Yan Yongnong immediately decided. This is the greatest strength that Yan Yongnong can do, and it is also the last time he intends to do his best.

The next day, the child wakes up and tilts his head to recall the dream of the previous night. Yan Yongnong asked, "Did you see Grandpa Moon last night?"

"No, wow, did you see it," the child asked rhetorically.

"Of course I met Sa, and he told me that your parents were looking for you in the city, and the streets and alleys of the city were plastered with "Missing Person Revelations" looking for you. I'm going to take you into town today. Yan Yongnong said his thoughts through the mouth of Father-in-law Yue.

The child was so happy to hear that he danced with his hands, and in return, he kissed Yan Yongnong on the face like a chicken pecking rice. also said a lot of good things: "You are so good, I thank you, when I see my parents, I will ask them to thank you, and my brother, my aunt, my grandmother, and my whole family will thank you!"

Yan Yongnong went upstairs to the granary and poured out two snakeskin bags full of soybeans, which were more than 100 catties. Wang Huilan grabbed a handful of soybeans painfully and was reluctant to put them down. Since Yan Yongnong collected the bean stalks from the ground, she then beaten, washed, and dried them with one hand and one foot. After that, I carefully screened it before going upstairs. On weekdays, the tofu seller passed by the door, and her daughter was clamoring to eat it, but she was reluctant to use the beans. She thought that she could sell it at a good price at the end of the year, and she didn't have to worry about the New Year's (cost). Looking at the current situation, more than half of the year has passed, and I don't see Yan Yongnong earn half a cent (coin) back, and all the food, drink, and use are the old books. I don't know how long I have to be with this child, as the old saying goes: "Sit and eat the mountain." Now there is no input, not to mention, even the oil and water at home have to be scooped out. Obviously, the money taken out is like a meat bun beating a dog - there is no return, how can she give it up?

But what can you do if you are reluctant? Yan Yongnong wants to do what the immortals try to do. But before doing this, Yan Yongnong also activated her, to be precise, he discussed it with her last night. He didn't come back until the rooster crowed three times last night, and as soon as he got into bed, he blew the wind in her ear until it softened her ear. When he offered to sell beans as a coil to enter the city. She was still so angry that she couldn't help kicking the quilt to the ground and counting him down: "You spent all your family savings, and you came to pick the food in our mouths, which I kept for the New Year." When everyone else is busy for the New Year, our mother and daughter are envious of your heart? It doesn't matter if you wear it, tie a few more pieces of fragments on your body to keep out the cold, but the northwest wind can't support your stomach. The pigs kept for the New Year have been sold, and now they are going to sell the beans for the New Year. Relatives come to your door to dig their brains on the wall, how can you be embarrassed to go to someone's door in the future? You, earthworm has to find a way out!"

"The New Year is still a matter of time, if you want to drink the northwest wind, wait for that time to wow, why can't you let us drink the northwest wind now

Go to the provincial capital, live on the street and sleep on the road!"

"But I didn't find it this time, what will I sell next time, and I wonder what else is worth in the house? If this continues, it won't be long before this house will change owners." It's best to sell me first when you want to hit the house idea. Your daughter suffers with you, it's a small matter, just don't let her live in the rain. ”

"Don't say anything angry, this is the last time there is no next time. When I come back this time, I will be a cow and a horse to pay off your debts, and make up for the work I have left behind, okay?"

"Are you so sure you'll be able to find his family?"

"No, but I tried my best, and there was nothing I could do. ”

"Thank God for finding his parents this time, if they don't, what's next?"

"This is the last time I want to do my best, if I can't find his parents, I will send him to the Civil Affairs Bureau with a hard heart, and never care about his idle affairs anymore, this is his destiny. ”

"Look at your ruthlessness!"

"If you can't get down, you have to go down, I can't toss my daughter to the point of having no home in order to find a home for other people's children!"

"Well, what else do I have to say when you talk about this? I also know that once you have decided that you can't pull it around, can I hold you? I still have Wu ten yuan here, which is the New Year's money that her grandmother gave her last year, and the poor family is rich. If you are not familiar with life outside, you have to take care of yourself. It's best to find his parents, and indeed if you can't find it, you should come back early, so as not to worry me. ”

The husband and wife said one by one, and when it came to the sad place, the two hugged their heads and cried.

Yan Yongnong took the child to Hot Spring City, a labyrinth of high-rise buildings and crisscrossed streets. Yan Yongnong is very much like Grandma Wang entering the Grand View Garden, she was stupid and dizzy, she couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and couldn't find the way to come. "It's not enough to lose one, make up and lose a pair. Yan Yongnong joked with himself.

"Do you lose it too, and you don't remember where your home is?" the child asked.

"I know my address, but I can't find my way home. Wow, I'll help you find a home. But you left me here, what should I do? I have to talk to you!" Yan Yongnong pretended to be very worried.

"Don't worry, as long as you find my parents, we won't leave you, you can go to my house to live. The child immediately comforted him.

"Why don't you live in my house and prefer to find your own home? If you ask me to live in your house, I won't, I want to live in my own house, and you have to compensate me for a home!" Yan Yongnong pretended to complain to him.

"It's not that you want to live in my house forever. You live first, and then let my dad take you to find it slowly. My dad will definitely help you find your home. The child said seriously.

"I have changed my mind, I want to live in your house for a long time, eat all your food, spend all the money, and quarrel in your house, and make your house noisy. ”

"We don't have chickens or dogs at home, you can quarrel if you feel uncomfortable, I have no opinion. You live in my house, and I can't bear to part with you anyway. ”

"When I find your parents, see if you don't forget about me, and remember that my name is 'Qiu Lianyu'!"

"I will never forget, I will always remember you as a great benefactor. The child said with a straight look.

This gripping remark made Yan Yongnong full of joy when he heard it, and he couldn't tease him anymore. Yan Yongnong put him on his shoulder and said, "I can't fall off, even if I blindfold me, I can find it back." If I throw you away again, I'll have to cry here, and I really can't go home. As for you, if you leave me, you won't want to find a home in this life, so you have to sit on my shoulder obediently, so that you can't separate us at any time. ”

The two of them had no fixed place to live, and they ate and slept wherever they went. They look for the same purpose but with different goals. Yan Yongnong's eyes were mainly on buildings and telephone poles, and when he saw the paper with writing, he hurriedly went up to look at it.

There are all kinds of revelations, such as "Revelation of FaΓ§ade Rental", "Revelation of Recruitment", "Revelation of Finding Things", "Revelation of Finding People" and all kinds of commercial and drug advertisements are all over the street, and they are often renewed. If you look at each one carefully from beginning to end, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish it in my life. So he adopted a screening method, first looking at the title, and looking at it carefully if it was "Revelation of Finding People".

As for children, they mainly recognize people, and a pair of eyes shoot like searchlights in the crowd of people coming and going. When he saw the familiar back, he said: "Dad, wait for me, I'm here." Yan Yongnong believed it: "Where, where?"

"Ahead, the one in blue, quick!" The child screamed and kicked his butt on Yan Yongnong's shoulder, and his hind heels beat on his chest as if he was riding a horse.

Yan Yongnong rushed towards the target pointed by the child like an arrow, and when he caught up, he knew that he had run in vain for a while. I have to apologize to others: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." ”

It's easy to chase a pedestrian, but it's hard to chase a bicycle or other motorized vehicle. Once, the child insisted that the person sitting on the back of a bicycle was like his mother, and called his mother at the top of his voice. Yan Yongnong pinched him under the armpit and chased the bicycle frantically. After chasing, the bicycle turned into an alley and disappeared. They stayed at the mouth of the alley until nightfall, and then waited for the two to come out, but they still confessed their mistake.

Shows like this are performed several times a day.

"I'm working so this mount! it's more tiring than pulling a plow. Yan Yongnong said with a wry smile.

Pedestrians on the street were caught by a child, and after being held by the hand or pulled by the corner of their clothes, some of them explained very understandingly and tolerantly, saying, "It's okay." There are also many people who are very angry after being disturbed, and mistakenly treat children as children and thieves with contempt and disgust, even if Yan Yongnong accompanies a smile and says a few times: "I'm sorry" is useless, those people still throw a sentence of "neurosis".

Touching the ashes again and again makes the child discouraged, and he is also afraid of white eyes and sarcasm. Later, he didn't dare to rush forward to admit his relatives.
