Zhang Zijing stayed in Minglang's house for more than an hour, sitting on the bed covered with dust and mouse droppings, repeatedly touching her yellowed pillow, compared to her home, it was a world of difference, staying here for a second, her heart hurt for a second.

Zhenzhen didn't make a sound, forcibly held back the nausea in his heart, and sat on the bed with Zhang Zijing. Her feelings are very complicated, if she hadn't been adopted by Zhang Zijing, then she probably wouldn't even have such a house, and she would have starved to death on the streets. And her brocade clothes and food, all her happiness, are obtained by plundering Minglang, and what she owes Minglang is not just two life-saving graces?

After a long time, Zhang Zijing whispered to Zhenzhen: "I'm hungry, can you accompany me to eat something?" ”

Zhenzhen raised her head, her eyes moist, "Good! ”

Zhang Zijing came to Ali's fast food restaurant, she had seen Minglang here, and Minglang seemed to be very good with the proprietress here.

When Ah Tao saw Zhang Zijing, he felt a little familiar, took a closer look, and then looked at her dress, and suddenly remembered that she was the noble lady who came with that handsome guy.

"Oops, what kind of wind blew the proprietress over? You may be seated! Ah Tao immediately greeted with a smile on his face.

Zhang Zijing and Zhenzhen sat at the table where they were talking with Minglang before, and asked, "What's delicious?" ”

"I'll show you a menu!" Ah Tao was about to turn around and get it.

"No, what is Minglang's favorite dish to eat here?" Zhang Zijing shouted to Ah Tao.

"She," Ah Tao smiled, "she loves to eat my woman's salted fish and eggplant pot, as well as fried fish, and she can eat two bowls of rice at a time!" ”

Zhang Zijing felt a pain in her heart, fried fish is a dish that Mu Yi often makes, and salted fish and eggplant pot is her specialty, when she was a child, she didn't like to eat, saying that salted fish was very smelly, and she was willing to eat it for a long time, and now, she loves to eat?

"Give me one!" Zhang Zijing choked up.

Ah Tao was stunned for a moment, "Oh, okay! ”

Ali pulled Ah Tao back and asked, "What is that woman doing here?" ”

"Eat!" Tao said.

"Isn't she at odds with Minglang? Seeing them talking before, Minglang didn't seem to like her! Ali said.

"I don't know, but she asked me what Minglang's favorite dish is, and she ordered Minglang's favorite fried fish and eggplant pot!" Ah Tao said softly, "You hurry up and do it, these big people, we can't afford to offend!" ”

Ali snorted, "We have made a lot of money this month, and we called Minglang and asked her to come back and share the money, but she couldn't get through the phone, I don't know what's going on, or, you can ask the woman in a while to see if Minglang has changed her phone number?" ”

"Okay!" Tao said.

When the dishes were served, Ah Tao saw that Zhang Zijing had been staring at the two dishes without moving the chopsticks, so he asked, "Is it a bad look?" ”

Zhang Zijing came back to her senses and shook her head, "No! ”

Ah Tao sighed, remembered Ah Li's instructions, and leaned down and asked, "That's the case, are you very familiar with Minglang?" Did she change her number? We can't even find her! ”

Is she familiar with Minglang? Zhang Zijing was at a loss in her heart, she was very familiar, their relationship was the most intimate relationship in the world, but were they familiar?

"Are you very good with Minglang?" Zhang Zijing raised her head and asked.

Ah Tao scratched his head, "She is our benefactor, this fast food restaurant, she opened it for money, she said that she had five or five points, and now she has made money, and she wants to give her money, but she can't get through to her phone!" ”

Zhang Zijing was silent for a while, endured the pain in her heart, and said softly: "She won't come back, you can take the money yourself." ”

Ah Tao sighed and asked in surprise, "Did she really go abroad?" Then give me an account and I'll call her, huh? ”

"Did she tell you she was going abroad?" Zhang Zijing found that she knew very little about her daughter, and even a general acquaintance knew more than her.

"As I said before, she used to eat here three times a day, and we often chatted!"

Zhang Zijing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up and asked Ah Tao to sit down, "Sit, sit down, can you tell me about Lang's affairs?" ”

Ah Tao was startled when he saw her suddenly so polite, but her enthusiasm was not easy to refuse, so he had to sit down curtly, "You please, you please!" ”

After the two sat down, Zhang Zijing asked, "Minglang, did she grow up here?" ”

Ah Tao said: "Actually, I don't know, but she said that she lived here for many years when she was a child, and lived in a wooden house with her grandfather, and later, she left here, left her grandfather, and now, she wants to find her grandfather, so she continues to come back here and wait." ”

"So, do you know what happened to her when she was a child?" Zhang Zijing asked.

"I don't know about this, but if you want to know, you can ask the previous village party secretary, he claims to be Bai Xiaosheng of this village, and he knows everything," he looked up and pointed to an old man on crutches sitting at the door next to the pharmacy, "No, he's over there!" ”

Zhang Zijing hurriedly got up, Ah Tao chuckled, "You're not in a hurry, he, as long as you say invite him to drink, he will come immediately, if you want to talk to him, I'll invite him!" ”

"I'm sorry for you!" Zhang Zijing said gratefully.

Ah Tao got up with a smile and walked over, he said a few words to the old man, the old man's eyes lit up, he looked around, and then got up and followed Ah Tao over like a fly. This walking like a fly is indeed an exaggeration, but it is still a little surprising that a person who was limping with crutches suddenly became so energetic.

Ah Tao led the village party secretary to Zhang Zijing's side and said, "Let me introduce, this is Uncle Chen, the former village party secretary of our village, this ......" He was embarrassed, "Look at me, I haven't even asked who you are?" ”

"My name is Zhang Zijing!" Zhang Zijing got up and introduced herself.

Chen Bo smiled and said, "Oh, Comrade Zhang, sit, sit!" Then, he whispered to Ah Tao: "You have to look at the wind for me, and when you see my daughter-in-law appear, tell me immediately!" ”

"Come on, you can drink it with confidence, your daughter-in-law went to Shangxiajiu today!" Ah Tao said with a smile.

"Oh, yes!" Chen Bo breathed a sigh of relief.

Ah Tao saw Zhang Zijing's puzzled face, so he explained: "Uncle Chen's daughter-in-law, he is not allowed to drink, but he is fierce!" ”

"Oh, that's right, then, boss, I'm going to buy a good bottle of wine, it's pure!" Zhang Zijing said to Tao.

Uncle Chen hurriedly said: "No, you don't need to buy any good wine, I'll drink pure rice wine, Ah Tao has it here, go quickly, get a pot for your Grandpa Chen." ”

Ah Tao went immediately, and when he came back, he poured wine for Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen took a sip and looked at Zhang Zijing with a satisfied smile, "What do you call it?" ”

"My name is Zhang Zijing!" Zhang Zijing was stunned for a moment, estimated that the old man's memory was not good, and said it again.

"Oh, Zhang Zijing, Zhang Zijing," he muttered, "this name is a little familiar, what do you want me to ask?" If it's about this village, just ask, there's nothing I don't know! ”

Zhang Zijing asked, "That's the case, do you know a person who lived in the village and was named Old Man Li?" He adopted a little girl named ......"

"It's called Mu Zhen!" Before Zhang Zijing finished speaking, Uncle Chen said.

"That's right, it's called Mu Zhen!" Zhang Zijing's eyes were scorching, "Tell me, what happened to them in this village before, when did he adopt Mu Zhen?" When did Mulvera leave here? ”

"Old man Li is a foreigner, in fact, he didn't come long before adopting the child, and when he came, he was sick and couldn't find a job, so he could only pick up rags. After that, he picked up a girl by the Pearl River and came back, and every day he took the girl to look for the girl's parents, and it is estimated that he did not find it for a long time, so he simply adopted the child, they originally lived in a wooden house by the Pearl River, but the wooden house was burned in a fire a few years ago, and a body was found inside, and I don't know if it was Old Man Li. ”

"So, what about Mu Zhen? Before the hut burned down, Mu Zhen had already left the village, right? Zhang Zijing asked.

"Let's go, the child seems to have left more than ten years ago, and not long after she left, Old Man Li picked up a boy and came back to raise him."

"Where did she go?" Zhang Zijing asked.

"I don't know about this, but I heard that she went to the United States, but the girl didn't have a hukou, and she couldn't even go to school, so how could she go to the United States? I guess they were trafficked, and there were too many trafficked children back then. Uncle Chen sighed.

Zhang Zijing was shocked, "Trafficking? ”

"It's guessed, and it's not confirmed, but Old Man Li has been sad for a long time." Uncle Chen took a sip of wine and asked again: "By the way, I've been chatting with you for so long, and I haven't asked for the surname Gao!" ”

Zhang Zijing was immersed in great sadness and did not answer Uncle Chen's words. really replied, "My mother's name is Zhang Zijing!" ”

"Comrade Zhang, what are you looking for Old Man Li? Or are you looking for that kid? Are you the mother of that child? Uncle Chen asked.

Zhang Zijing asked bitterly, "How can your old man think that I am her mother?" ”

"I haven't seen that child since she grew up, but I still remember her when she was a child, and she looks a little like you!" Chen Bodao.

"Like?" But why didn't she see it?

"Like!" Uncle Chen said seriously, "Especially the chin, it's like it!" ’

Zhang Zijing was silent for a moment, and said with heavy sadness in her voice, "Indeed, I am her mother!" ”

"Hey, that kid is bitter, following Old Man Li, although there is no shortage of food and drink, but there is no good life, he can't go to school, he is bullied and abused, spit, and slapped, it is a common thing, poor Old Man Li has no ability to give her a better life, hey, pitiful, pitiful!" Uncle Chen shook his head and sighed while drinking.

Zhang Zijing's tears slipped uncontrollably, and she slapped her......

Zhenzhen gently hugged Zhang Zijing's shoulders and choked up: "Mom, don't be like this!" ”

Zhang Zijing took a deep breath and said to Uncle Chen: "Thank you for telling me so much, next time I will invite you to drink!" After speaking, she summoned Ah Tao to settle the bill.

Ah Tao walked over, saw that Zhang Zijing still had tears on his face, was stunned, and said, "No, I invite you." ”

"It's not going to work!" Zhang Zijing wanted to take her wallet.

"Don't, don't, you're clear...... Mom, it's also polite for me to invite you to a meal, don't be polite, you'll be polite! Ah Tao didn't go far, he kept listening to the two of them, he was really shocked, it turned out that this noble lady was Minglang's mother.

Zhang Zijing heard Ah Tao say this, but she didn't insist, said thank you, and then led Zhenzhen away.
