CHAPTER XXIII

Grandpa should now be the leader of the production team, a well-known advanced worker in the whole factory, and has been rated as a model worker for several consecutive years.

Zhou Xiao'an's heart swelled up with a very bad premonition, and he was so nervous that his palms broke out in a cold sweat, "Uncle, I heard that person say that there seems to be a sick person at home, just waiting to drink a meal of cornmeal batter, so I didn't go to the police station, and sent it here directly, look, can you ask me carefully?" I'm afraid I'll delay it later. ”

At this time, how many people's wish when they are dying is to eat a mouthful of fine grain, the uncle has seen and heard too much, and he didn't doubt Zhou Xiaoan's words at all, "Xiao Zhao, you go to the security department to find someone to take this little comrade to the personnel department to ask, to see if it is a newly diverted worker." ”

The state has reduced the urban population on a large scale, and many units have been forced to reduce production and reduce personnel, and some workers from other factories in the province have been diverted from other factories, and some of them may be a little older.

Xiao Zhao went out to find someone after reading Zhou Xiaoan's work card, and in less than two minutes, he walked in with a tall young man, and the uncle introduced that he was the officer of the security department.

When Officer Ren entered the door, he showed a mouthful of white teeth at Zhou Xiaoan, "This is Comrade Zhou Xiaoan, who is not ignorant of gold, right?" ”

Zhou Xiaoan shook his head embarrassedly, "I don't dare to be a gold picker, I just feel that I have lost so much fine grain, and the owner must be in a hurry." ”

Officer Ren took Zhou Xiaoan to the personnel department very enthusiastically.

The personnel department and the factory committee are in a gray two-story cement building, and the signs at the door of the office are nailed several, and the personnel department, procurement department, and archives are all installed in one room.

Entering the door is a large office of fifty or sixty square meters, with desks facing each other, and dozens of staff members sitting in it.

As soon as Officer Ren entered the door, someone greeted him warmly, and some people came over to pat him on the shoulder and joke, which looked very popular.

Zhou Xiaoan was taken to a separate desk in the innermost part, where a thin old comrade with glasses sit.

The old comrade's face was very gloomy, with yellow in the dark, and at first glance he looked like he had been in poor health for a long time, but his eyes were bright.

Director Ren introduced to Zhou Xiaoan that this veteran comrade was the head of the Personnel Section.

As soon as Section Chief Fan heard Zhou Xiaoan's intention, he solemnly arranged for her to sit on the chair in front of him, and immediately asked an old comrade in charge of personnel files to find Zhou Zhenxing.

An eldest sister in the office poured water for Zhou Xiaoan with her hands and feet, and everyone talked to her in a friendly and enthusiastic manner.

In the era when wheat bran was scarce, the value of a bag of cornmeal was self-evident, it was something that could solve the family's urgent needs and even save lives.

Looking at Zhou Xiaoan's shabby clothes and thin body, even with such a serious injury, it is even more admirable and rare to be able to send these grains back without hesitation.

Zhou Xiaoan held the hot water in the enamel jar and smiled shyly with everyone, and the corner of his eye kept looking at the old comrade who was almost about to stick his eyes to the filing cabinet, until Section Chief Fan reminded, "Don't leave the name of the same sound behind." She was relieved.

I searched for a long time, but I didn't find anything.

Zhou Xiaoan's inner loss could no longer be hidden.

The Zhou family from the grandfather to the grandfather and the uncle, the three people are all old workers who entered the factory at the beginning of the construction of the Peizhou steel mill, and at the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the steel mill, the grandfather sat on the rostrum as a representative of the old workers, which is absolutely not wrong.

But now there is no grandfather in the steel mill, "What about Zhou Dingshan?" What about Zhou Zhenye? "It's the name of my grandfather and my uncle.

"I heard him say these two names, probably his relatives." After a pause, Zhou Xiaoan remembered to explain.

Or not. Their Zhou family disappeared without a trace in the steel mill.

Or, most likely, it doesn't exist in this plane at all.

Zhou Xiaoan said goodbye to everyone in a low voice, thanked the officer Ren who sent her out, and went to the neighborhood committee to find someone according to his instructions.

On the way to the neighborhood committee, when she saw someone, she asked, "Do you know that there is a person named Zhou Zhenxing nearby?" Do you know Zhou Dingshan? ”

No one has ever heard of it.

Grandpa's family has always lived near the steel mill, and even after the demolition, Grandpa insisted on moving back, but now no one knows about them.

Zhou Xiaoan already had a very bad premonition, in this world, it is very likely that there will be no relatives of hers.

The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, passing by a small alley, it was very secluded, and it was a dead end where no one would pass by, and there were two green bricks that looked very clean in the corner of a large pile of debris, Zhou Xiaoan walked over and sat down weakly.

After being tired of this journey, most of the anger of looking for relatives was discouraged, and the already weak body soon couldn't support it.

The cotton clothes were thin and the mood was bad, Zhou Xiaoan shrank in the corner and hugged his legs and shrunk himself into a ball.

In this strange and chaotic world, she is really the only one left.

With a sour nose, Zhou Xiaoan buried his face in his knees, tears were about to flow out, a tall and thin young man ran into the small alley quickly, and there was a chaotic sound of running and cursing not far away.

The man ran all the way to the innermost part of the alley, moved away a pile of debris, quickly got in, and turned around to block himself with debris, and was almost finished, only to see Zhou Xiaoan sitting in the corner.

Zhou Xiao'an was dressed in faded blue and black clothes, curled up under the black-gray brick wall, a quiet and small lump, which was really not easy to find.

The man's eyes flashed, and his slender Danfeng eyes quickly looked at Zhou Xiao'an, and the sound of running was getting closer and closer, and he could already hear the rude swear words.

The man smiled at Zhou Xiao'an, stretched out his hand to his lips and made a silent motion, picking up a broken basket to block himself.

Before Zhou Xiaoan could react, a group of people had already fluttered and ran across the alley.

Zhou Xiaoan looked at the pile of debris where the man was hiding, and felt that it was better to leave the place of right and wrong quickly, but just as she was about to move, the group of people ran back again, and quickly checked around, and several young people who entered the alley to check found Zhou Xiaoan.

More than a dozen people poured in together, and Zhou Xiaoan was immediately surrounded.

She shrunk to the ground and maintained her original posture motionless, not because she didn't want to move, but because she didn't dare to move. Several of the people in the group had long military thorns in their hands.

It is a military stab used on the real battlefield, the tip of the knife is extremely sharp, and the blood groove flashes with a dull black light, with the aura of killing people and seeing blood.

Zhou Xiaoan was so frightened that her whole body trembled, she was pampered from childhood to seventeen years old, and even there was a bloody scene on TV, Father Zhou had to block her eyes, and he had never been in such close contact with a group of murderous people with murder weapons.

Several people have already rummaged through the debris in the alley, but they haven't found anything. The surrounding high wall was more than two meters high, and it was almost impossible to climb over it, and they didn't believe that kid would dare to hide here and suffocate himself.

"Did you see a little white face running over?" The young man at the head had a pair of inorganic eyes, which reminded Zhou Xiaoan of a robot without human feelings.

Zhou Xiaoan was so frightened that his hairs stood on end, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only shake his head.

She didn't want to protect that person, she was afraid that they would accidentally hurt herself or anger herself when they fought. Since they flipped through it and didn't find anything, they will be gone soon, right?

"Big brother, is this little girl with him? Answer him, right? Why don't you sit here on a cold day! ”

Zhou Xiaoan was so frightened that he shook his head into a rattle, and began to stutter when he spoke, "I, I'm not with anyone, I, I'm just hungry to go, I can't walk, rest, rest for a while......"
