The village where Wang Shuquan's family is located is not far from the place where the robbery was made, only a few kilometers away. However, I couldn't take the bus anymore, because the dirt road was so narrow that it was built to the width of the tractor, and the car couldn't get into it at all.

Seeing that everyone was going to go directly to the village to look for relatives instead of entering the city, He Weiguo said to Wang Xianzhi with some embarrassment: "Old man, you see that the local commissioner and mayor of the city are waiting. Otherwise, we will go to the city, and then the city will send a few small cars to take you to your destination, so as not to have to walk so far. ”

Although Wang Xianzhi wanted to see his relatives as soon as possible, he didn't want He Weiguo to be difficult, so he nodded and said, "That's okay, Shuquan will go with us, and he will lead the way when he comes back." ”

Everyone returned to the car, and a group of young people watched the car drive away before they quickly ran back to the village to report the news.

Cang Prefecture is now a provincial municipality under the joint jurisdiction of the regional administration and the local municipal government.

If it were to be an open-minded coastal city, the arrival of Wang Zijun and his family would definitely cause a sensation. In order to attract overseas investment, it is estimated that the local parents will organize people to welcome them, and then invite them to various banquets and celebrations.

However, this is a northern city, and public opinion on reform has wavered in recent years, and the more north or inland it is, the more conservative it becomes.

Wang Zijun and his entourage were mainly greeted by people from the local overseas Chinese affairs and united front work departments, and even the commissioner and mayor of the administrative office did not attend in person, but only sent a deputy commissioner and deputy mayor of the administrative department.

The official of the administrative office only greeted him a few times, asked the comrades below to entertain the Taiwan compatriots, and then said that he had said that he had said goodbye in advance. However, the deputy mayor named Kong Yusen was quite enthusiastic, and accompanied him all the way to introduce the changes in the local area over the years.

Hearing that Wang Zijun and the others had found relatives and needed to use a car, Vice Mayor Kong immediately asked the secretary to go to the political axe compound to get a few.

Wang Zijun looked at the old Hongqi and old Jeep that were still relatively new in front of him, and had the urge to buy a few for collection, but they would not be found in a few years.

At noon, I dined in the local hotel, and as soon as everyone entered the hotel, they exploded. The waiters at the hotel looked at the faces of celebrities such as Wang Zijun, Zhao Yazhi, Teresa Teng and Audrey Hepburn, and stars appeared in their eyes.

"Miss Deng, can you sign for me?"

"Miss Deng, let's take a picture...... Xiao Sun, get that seagull camera! ”

"Miss Deng, are you here to sing this time?"

“……”

The waiters came around one after another, and what made people laugh and cry was that they all focused on Teresa Teng, and no one asked Wang Zijun and Zhao Yazhi for autographs. I have to say that Teresa Teng's song is so popular in the mainland that as long as it is a person, she can hum two sentences.

Deputy Mayor Kong Yusen shouted with a straight face: "What is it to surround foreign guests like this? If you don't go back to your post, what should you do? As he spoke, he turned to Wang Zijun again, changed to a smiling face and said, "Mr. Wang, please go up to the third floor, I want to taste the taste of my hometown today." ”

Wang Zijun nodded at him and smiled kindly, and said, "Mayor Kong, you ask the chef to get more home-cooked food, my father hasn't come back for decades, and that's what he eats." As for the big meal, you don't need it, and if you eat too much, it's wasteful. ”

"Mr. Wang, don't worry, I have already ordered it." Kong Yusen said with a smile.

Wang Zijun felt that this person was quite interesting, judging from today's reception specifications, it was obvious that the local top leaders did not pay attention to it, and the people sent to pick them up were probably not very good. The deputy commissioner of the administration left without saying a few words, and the deputy mayor was a little too attentive and his mind was quite lively.

There is really no big meal on the table, but the dishes are quite rich, such as hot pot chicken, sheep intestines, donkey meat and the like, all of which are local specialties.

"Okay, good, that's the taste, I haven't eaten such an authentic one for a long time......" Wang Xianzhi praised while eating, Wang Zijun had never seen the old man eat so happily.

However, Wang Zijun's nephew Wang Shuquan, who he just met, ate even more ferociously, which can be described as gobbling up, where did this kid have the opportunity to eat such good things before. Eating and eating is choking, and the contents of my mouth squirt out all over the table.

Wang Shuquan's face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. Kong Yusen laughed: "This little brother has a good appetite, and young people should be so energetic." Little comrade, change these dishes quickly. ”

When the waiter was changing dishes, Wang Shuquan came over and asked Wang Zijun: "Uncle, am I disgraced you?" ”

Wang Zijun scolded with a smile: "You kid still know how to be ashamed, why don't you feel ashamed of digging pits on the road to collect tolls?" ”

Wang Shuquan said: "It's just a little money to spend, isn't it that there is no money in your pocket." ”

Wang Zijun asked: "Aren't you afraid of another severe crackdown with a political axe?" ”

Wang Shuquan's face changed when he heard this, his behavior this year, if it had been put aside during the crackdown two years ago, it would have been enough to shoot him several times.

Wang Zijun said: "Do things well in the future, and do this kind of unpopular thing again, be careful that I beat you so that you can't get up." ”

"That's, that's, I listen to my uncle." Wang Shuquan nodded again and again, he admired this uncle very much. Not only because Wang Zijun beat him so hard that he couldn't fight back, but also because Wang Zijun married several aunts who were like flowers and jade, which made Wang Shuquan, who was still a virgin, look up to the mountains.

After lunch and a short rest, everyone prepared to take the car to the village.

Kong Yusen enthusiastically wanted to accompany them to the countryside, Wang Zijun took out a business card and stuffed it into his hand, and politely refused: "Mayor Kong, you are a busy man, so I won't bother you anymore." Thank you for your hospitality today, this is my business card, please contact me in the future. ”

"Definitely, definitely." Kong Yusen received the business card handed by Wang Zijun, and his heart was already smiling. This time, Wang Zijun returned to his hometown to visit relatives, and the commissioner and mayor only regarded Wang Zijun as a big star in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and they didn't care too much about their conservative behavior. But Kong Yusen is different, he has a younger brother studying in the United States, and two days ago he spent hundreds of yuan on long-distance phone calls to learn more about Wang Zijun, so he has today's warm hospitality.

Wang Zijun's business card will not be handed out easily, he also sees that this person is doing a good job, and he must be promoted in the future and get a good relationship in advance. The most important thing is to rely on this parent official to take care of the relatives of the Wang family.

……………… Xiaowangzhuang, this is an ordinary township in the North China Plain.

In the middle of the afternoon, the quiet township suddenly became lively, and I saw six cars driving towards me in the distance, and the pomp and circumstance made the nearby residents talk a lot. Soon a large crowd came to watch, guessing where the big man came.

The convoy drove past the countryside, and a group of half-sized children coaxed and chased after the car. Due to the poor road conditions and the presence of pregnant women, the speed of travel was very slow, and the children were able to keep up with the speed of the convoy.

Lin Yi rolled down the window, stretched out his head to look back at the children who were about the same age as him, and asked Wang Shuhan, "Brother, what are those children doing?" ”

"Hillbilly, I haven't seen the world." Wang Shuhan said disdainfully. In the past year, he has been very aggrieved, and he was sent to a boarding school abroad by his mother, like a bird in a cage. This time, I was called back by my grandfather to visit relatives, I thought I could have a good time, but I didn't expect to come to this poor country.

Hearing Wang Shuhan's words, Wang Shuquan was a little dissatisfied with this clansman, Wang Shuhan even scolded him just now. However, Wang Shuhan is half a child, and he doesn't have much to worry about, so he pointed to the front and said: "When you turn the bay in front, you can see a big locust tree, just park the car under the tree." ”

As soon as Wang Shuhan's words fell, everyone had already seen dozens of people standing sparsely under the big locust tree. Seeing the convoy coming, the villagers kept waving, and a few juniors helped an old man on crutches to the side of the road.

"Big brother!" As soon as the car stopped, Wang Xianzhi couldn't wait to get out of the car and walked to the old man, hugging him and bursting into tears.

Everyone else was silently watching the picture of this brother's reunion, Lin Qingxia came to Wang Zijun's side and sighed softly: "I heard my parents say that I also have a sister in the mainland. ”

"No, it won't!" Zhao Yazhi was surprised.

Lin Qingxia said: "My eldest sister was fostered at a relative's house back then, and her parents were transferred to Taiwan with the army, and she was in a hurry, so she didn't have time to bring her sister with her. ”

Lin Fengjiao suggested: "Since you have come here, why don't you help Qingxia find her sister." ”

Teresa Teng smiled: "Okay, I agree." Long-lost sisters, this kind of thing is like Qiong Yao. ”

The two old men hugged their heads and cried for a while, and finally let go of each other's greetings and reminisced.

The old man on crutches is Wang Xianzhi's cousin Wang Xianjing, the clan is ranked by equal brothers, Wang Xianjing is the eldest, Wang Xianzhi is the second, the two have grown up together since childhood, and the relationship is the best.

The appearance of Wang Zijun and others made those villagers envious of the Wang family, and when they saw that their overseas relatives were rich, now the Wang family is developed.

The leaders of the township got the news from nowhere and came over on a tractor. One of the men in an old tunic jumped down from the drag, stretched out his hands from a distance and said with a smile: "Welcome Mr. Wang back to his hometown!" ”

After another round of greetings, Wang Zijun and his entourage were embraced into the village by the stars.

Wang Xianjing said as he walked: "In 39 years, our family's dart bureau was used as a temporary barracks by Kou Chong. I fled to Henan with my sixth and seventh children, as well as a group of wives and children, and lost contact with everyone. In 42 years, there was a catastrophe in Henan, and six members of the family who escaped died, and the seventh child also went at that time. The sixth child and I took our families to Anhui and Hubei, and asked everywhere about you and the fourth, but the war was changing, and there was no accurate letter. The sixth child later joined the New Fourth Army, and he died after only a few months as a soldier, leaving me alone in the family to support him...... After the liberation, I returned to Cangzhou with my family, and our family's dart bureau was confiscated as the office of the Food Bureau. After explaining the situation, the political axe also compensated me with some money, and later I met the fourth child who came back. The fourth said that you followed Lao Jiang to Taiwan......"

Wang Xianjing is already seventy-five years old, and it is very difficult to talk with his body on his back, although he is from a dart game practitioner family, but he lost his body in the past few years after fleeing, and now he is dying.

Finally returned to Wang Xianjing's house, the villagers were lively and crowded, and people came in from time to time to congratulate. The leaders of the township also asked for warmth, and everyone left after a long time, and the hall finally quieted down.

The ancestor of Wang Zijun's family is the Taiyuan Wang family, but the first ancestor in the genealogy only records Wang Zhihuan who "wants to be poor for thousands of miles and go to the next level", which is probably a side branch left by Wang Zhilian. Although it was not a big family, the Wang family was quite prosperous in this place back then.

Wang Xianzhi asked, "Big brother, is the family tree still there?" ”

Wang Xianjing shook his head and said: "It's not here, it was burned more than ten years ago, you and the fourth child are KMT reactionaries, how dare you keep that thing at home." ”

Wang Xianzhi asked, "Can the family still find other people?" ”

Wang Xianjing sighed: "There are still a few households left in the uncle's branch in Dukou Village, and there are also a few households in Xiaosuzhuang. There is still a family in the city that is working as a cadre, but there is no contact, and I don't know about the rest. ”

Wang Xianzhi said: "When I come back this time, in addition to visiting you, I also want to bring my children and grandchildren back to continue the family tree. ”

Wang Xianjing looked back at Wang Zijun and the others, and said with a smile: "These are all your descendants of the second child?" ”

Wang Xianzhi pulled Wang Zijun and Wang Ziyun and said: "This is the eldest queen Ziyun, this is the youngest son Wang Zijun, and there is an eldest son who is not in the classroom in Taiwan, don't mention it." ”

"Go to prison, what did you do, does it matter?" Wang Xianjing hurriedly asked.

Wang Zijun interjected: "Uncle, small things, I will be able to come out not long after the New Year." ”

Wang Xianzhi pointed at Wu Xiaozhen and Wang Shuhan and said: "This is the eldest daughter-in-law Wu Xiaozhen, and this is the eldest grandson Wang Shuhan." This is the second daughter-in-law Lin Qingxia...... "When I introduced it again, Wang Xianzhi made a difficulty, and gave Wang Zijun a look and asked him to solve it himself."

Wang Zijun said with a smile: "Uncle, they are all my wives." It's ......"

Wang Xianjing saw that Wang Zijun had several wives and a large number of children, so he immediately gave Wang Zijun a thumbs up and praised: "Good, good, my Wang family is prosperous, congratulations!" Hehe, second child, I like your little son, I have the style of my year! ”

Wang Xianjing recruited all the clansmen, more than 20 people in Hulala, in addition to the descendants of him and the fourth Wang Xianzhen, there are also several descendants of dead brothers.

Wang Zijun suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, four cousins, one cousin, eight nephews and nieces, and I heard that three cousins married to a neighboring village.

"Hurry up and kowtow to your second grandfather!" Wang Xianjing knocked on crutches to give orders to his grandchildren.

"Second grandpa is good." None of the grandchildren escaped, and even Wang Shuquan, who was almost twenty years old, had to kneel down and kowtow honestly.

Wang Zijun had already prepared a red envelope, and knelt down to him to help distribute a red envelope.

Each red envelope is not much, and it is only Wu Bai yuan. But now I use the third set of RMB, and the maximum face value is only 10 yuan, and 500 yuan has to be wrapped in 50 10 yuan bills, so that every red envelope is swollen and almost bursting.

As soon as the red envelopes of several young nephews and nieces were obtained, they were confiscated by their mothers. When several concubines opened the red envelope, their eyes suddenly straightened in surprise - this old man is too generous!

One of Wang Zijun's cousins-in-law muttered: "It would be nice if there was a head knock every day." ”
