After buying a ticket to Quancheng and wandering around the train for more than five hours, Qin Feng came to this city that was familiar to him but also unfamiliar.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Feng took a map and first went to the Quanzhou cargo distribution station, which was the terminal of the Cangzhou train, where Qin Feng fled from Quancheng with his sister.

However, after asking many people at the cargo station, Qin Feng couldn't get any news from his sister, they were sure that they hadn't seen Qin Jia in Qin Feng's mouth, and they stayed here for two days, and Qin Feng left disappointed.

On the third day, Qin Feng came to the place where he lived seven years ago, which was a university teacher's dormitory building in Quancheng, where Qin Feng had lived from birth to departure.

Looking at those familiar uncles and aunts and the children running around in the compound, Qin Feng's ears seemed to sound the shouts of his parents, and the familiar scenes made Qin Feng's eyes full of tears.

For a child, seven years can change too many things, at least Qin Feng's appearance is very different from when he was seven years old, even if he doesn't make any modifications, no one can recognize him anymore.

After wandering for five years, and studying for so long with people like Zaiyu, who have mixed up with the rivers and lakes, Qin Feng is still very skilled in dealing with people, and it only took half a day for him to ask about the situation in his family.

However, the result still disappointed Qin Feng. None of the old neighbors who had not changed much in appearance knew what had happened to their family.

According to Aunt Wang, one day seven years ago, several cars came here and emptied all the things of the Qin family, saying that they had moved, but those people did not tell them where they were moving.

Most of the people who live in this courtyard are school teachers, and there have been teachers who have a good relationship with Qin Feng's parents who have asked the school, but they have not received a reply, only that they seem to have been transferred to the capital to work.

Unwilling, Qin Feng sneaked into the school's archives late at night and went through all the files about the job transfer seven years ago, but to his disappointment, he couldn't find the names of his parents.

Except for the memories of the old neighbors, the trajectory of the Qin family's life in Quancheng seems to have been completely erased, and there is not a trace left.

In desperation, Qin Feng boarded the truck and walked along the distribution yards that stopped along the way, looking for his sister's whereabouts, but what brought him was still disappointment.

Hu Baoguo is also an old and sophisticated person, he didn't ask anything after picking up Qin Feng, and took Qin Feng, who had changed his clothes, and returned directly to the juvenile detention center, and finally passed the matter.

I don't know if I died or believed in the master's divination, but Qin Feng, who returned to the juvenile detention center, became much more cheerful, and took over the blackboard pictorial and other work in the juvenile detention center.

With Hu Baoguo's help, coupled with Qin Feng's own efforts, his sentence was reduced twice in three years, adding up to a total of eight months, and when the Spring Festival in 97 was approaching, Qin Feng only had two months left in his sentence.

The Chinese New Year is a festive day, in order to prevent the teenagers in the detention center from feeling homesick, the juvenile detention center is also pasted with red paper couplets everywhere, filled with a festive atmosphere.

－－－－－－－－

"Master, let's go to Brother Hu's house for the New Year today, this is the new clothes that Brother Hu bought for you, I'll help you put them on!" ……”

On the afternoon of the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Feng took a bright red dress and came to Zaiyu's independent courtyard in a hurry, pushed open the thick curtain, and his face was full of joy.

In the entire juvenile detention center, everyone knew that Director Hu was good to Qin Feng, and he often called him to go to his home half a year ago, and even found a relationship with the local police station to leave Qin Feng's household registration at his home.

It just so happened that Hu Baoguo was not on duty during the Spring Festival this time, so he had to take the old man and Qin Feng to his house for the New Year.

"Hey, Master, I only wore such festive clothes when I got married."

Compared with two years ago, Zai Yu was getting older and older lying on the bed, his gray hair hung down in front of his forehead, his face was full of age spots, and his hands were as thin as wood, but his eyes were still bright.

"Master, where is my master?" Seeing that the old man looked good, Qin Feng smiled and joked.

"Your sister? I'm afraid I'm already dead, right? ”

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Zai Yu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and just when he wanted to say something, the door was pushed open from the outside again, and Hu Baoguo walked in and said, "Old man, are you ready, let's go?" ”

"Okay, let's go, this place is a little more angry, and the old man will change places!"

Zai Yu held Qin Feng's arm, slowly stood up, and then shook off Qin Feng, and walked to the door slowly but very firmly.

Looking at the trembling Zaiyu, Qin Feng's nose couldn't help but feel a little sour, but in just two or three years, the master had grown old like this, and his life was about to come to an end.

Hu Baoguo glanced at Qin Feng and said, "What are you doing in a daze, quickly take the old man's coat, let's go!" ”

"Yes, let's go, go for the New Year!"

Qin Feng came back to his senses, and hurriedly took the fox fur coat that the master usually covered his legs and chased him out, and when he arrived at the door, he didn't care whether the master was happy or not, and directly wrapped the old man.

With Hu Baoguo with him, when he got out of the prison gate, Qin Feng didn't encounter any difficulties, first, his sentence was about to come, and secondly, he knew that the relationship between him and Hu Baoguo was already accustomed to it, whether it was discipline or armed police.

Hu Baoguo's hometown is in the countryside, and it takes more than an hour to get from the juvenile detention center, and after the police car entered the village, a group of half-grown children playing with firecrackers immediately gathered around.

Every household in the village is plastered with couplets and blessing characters, and the sound of firecrackers and the fragrance of the kitchens from time to time are filled with the joy of the New Year.

"Master, slow down."

When the car drove into the courtyard of the Hu family, Qin Feng jumped out of the car first and carefully helped Zai Yu down.

"Old man, how are you doing? I'll bring my son and grandson to you for the New Year! ”

When Zai Yu got out of the car, a group of people who had been waiting in the yard fell to their knees, and even Hu Baoguo, who had just parked the car, was pulled to his knees.

"Good, good, all good!"

Zai Yu'er's spirit is very good, after letting go of Qin Feng's hand, he took out a handful of red envelopes from his pocket with a trembling right hand, handed it to Qin Feng and said: "I'm about to go to see my ancestors, let me pass the master's addiction again, reward!" ”

The word "reward", the old man shouted with full of energy, as if he had returned to his youth, and every time it was the New Year, there was an endless stream of people who came to kowtow at home.

Qin Feng took a handful of red envelopes and handed them out one by one, as for Zaiyu, he was welcomed to the back room by a few elders of the Hu family who were also in their seventies and eighties, and it could be seen that the old man was in high spirits today, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be much less.

During dinner, Zai Yu drank several glasses of the Hu family's self-brewed old wine, which really made Qin Feng worried, and he stayed with the master all night, for fear that something would happen.

"Master, are you awake?" Qin Feng, who was lying on the end of the bed and fell asleep, heard the sound, and hurriedly raised his head, just in time to see the master taking the clothes at the head of the bed.

"When you wake up, you can't sleep when you're old."

I don't know if it's because I drank yesterday, Zaiyu's face was flushed, and he looked energetic under the light.

Qin Feng lifted the thick curtain and glanced out, and said, "Master, you can sleep again, it's just dawn, it's still early!" ”

"The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning!" Zai Yu laughed and said: "According to the old yellow calendar, spring has already begun today, let's also have a Spring Festival of the old yellow calendar!" ”

The beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms, so the ancient folk are in the "beginning of spring" this day of the festival, equivalent to the modern "Spring Festival", the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar is called "New Year's Day".

In July 1913 (the second year of the Republic of China), Yuan Shikai proposed the lunar New Year's Day as the "Spring Festival", and the following year (1914) began to be implemented.

Coincidentally, this year, Lichun was the day before the Spring Festival, Qin Feng didn't know how Master remembered it so clearly, looked at the snow outside the window, or shook his head and said: "Master, Lichun only thawed on five days, it's too cold this day, let's talk in this room." ”

Qin Feng is not afraid of the cold, the key is that he is afraid that the master's body and bones will not be able to support it, this northern winter is cold and windy, plus there was a heavy snow a few days ago, and it is extremely cold outside.

"Where did you kid come from so much nonsense, these people in the Hu family are still filial, the old man can't be ignorant!"

Zai Yu stretched out his hand and slapped it on the disciple's head, and casually lifted the quilt, Qin Feng could only step forward to help the master put on his clothes and help the old man out of the house.

Rural people get up early, and they have to buy New Year's goods, although the sky is just dawning, there is already a sound in every household.

After walking around this small village, someone was already driving the carriage to the market on the road, and the day of zuihou in the Chinese New Year's Eve was also the most lively day of the market.

The Hu family's New Year's goods were not fully purchased, Hu Baoguo drove to the market early in the morning, and the yard became much deserted, and several old people were afraid of the cold and nested in the house.
