Chapter 259: Her Name Is Hope
Although the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has ended, Henan, which has experienced vicissitudes for a long time, is still a famine at this time.
The great famine three years ago has not completely alleviated Henan, and it is still in a half-dead state. Especially in the second half of the war, Japan, which consumed huge amounts of energy, intensified the looting of the occupied areas, which made Henan, which was already somewhat half-dead, even worse.
Along the way, major cities are scrambling to celebrate the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, celebrating that Japan has finally been defeated and can live a happy and stable life.
However, in remote rural areas, the people here still live the same life as they did during the Japanese occupation.
Young people are almost never seen, mostly old and weak, women and children.
Although he couldn't bear it, Chen Feng also knew that China was so big that the current government couldn't take care of the people at the bottom.
"This old man, please ask, do you have anyone with the surname Fan here?"
Chen Feng came to a group of old men in their seventies and eighties, leaned down, and asked with a very kind smile on his face.
Several elderly people were covered with age spots on their faces, and deep wrinkles crawled all over their faces, which was indeed considered a long life at this time.
Maybe it's because he's too old, so his hearing isn't very good, Chen Feng asked several times, and one of the old people reacted, with a clear look on his face, and opened his mouth for several minutes.
Looking at the old man's appearance, Chen Feng was really a little skeptical, how they gathered here to chat.
"The surname Fan does exist, when the Japanese devil didn't come before, there was a big Zhuangzi in front, and the landlord was surnamed Fan, called Fan or something, I forgot what it was called. Later, when Japan came, they fled the famine, and they have not returned, and they don't know what happened."
Chen Feng followed the direction pointed by the old man, vaguely remembering that the scene was very familiar, but it was a pity that it was more than a thousand, and in three years, it had also experienced several major wars, and some buildings had collapsed countless times and were rebuilt, and they had long lost their original appearance.
However, for some general directions, Chen Feng could still remember clearly that the direction that the old man was pointing to must be Fan Dianyuan's old mansion.
It's just that hearing that Fan Dianyuan didn't come back, Chen Feng felt a little disappointed in his heart. The old people have become the old people.
Chen Feng stood up and took out a few pieces of ocean from his body. However, when he saw the appearance of several old men, he shook his head and ordered the entourage beside him to go up from the carriage and get some dry food.
"Thank you a few old people."
"Lao Zhang! What did that posterity do?"
It wasn't until Chen Feng turned to leave that one of the old men seemed to react and opened his mouth to ask the old man who had answered Chen Feng before.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just asked if there was a surname Fan, and I told him"!
Several old men spoke loudly, and they all seemed to understand that each other's ears were not very good, and they spoke loudly one by one.
"The surname Fan, oh.
I remember my son telling me that two or three years ago there wasn't a family with the surname Fan coming back! I also have a ni (meaning daughter) with me."
"Then I don't know, I haven't heard of it!"
Chen Feng, who had just turned around and walked a few steps, heard the words of several people, and hurriedly turned around and returned to the crowd with a look of surprise on his face.
"This old man, the person you said surnamed Fan, where does he live now?"
When he and Fan Dianyuan were separated, Fan Dianyuan said that even if he died, he would die on the way home. If Fan Dianyuan hadn't died at this time, he would have definitely returned to his hometown in Yanjin County.
Although three years have passed, such hope is very slim, but Chen Feng is still willing to take a look. If it really is, if you turn around and leave, you will miss the only hope.
After a lot of effort, after finally getting a place from the mouth of this old man who was even more difficult to hear, Chen Feng hurriedly walked towards a dilapidated mansion with two entourage.
The house in front of me is very dilapidated, and it is so dilapidated that people can't look at it directly. But Chen Feng still saw from the dilapidated mansion that this was Fan Dianyuan's hometown in Yanjin County.
Think about it again, isn't it really possible that the person the old man said could really be Fan Dianyuan. It's just that Chen Feng is very curious, if it is really Fan Dianyuan, how can there be only one girl beside him.
At the beginning, Fan Dianyuan was not only his little grandson, but he also had two children of Blind Deer, and even recognized him as a grandfather.
"You two stand in the doorway and wait, I'll go in and have a look."
Chen Feng looked at the entourage who followed him closely, and thought about letting the two stay at the door, while he pushed open the dilapidated door and walked in.
The yard is very clean and there is not a single weed on the ground. In particular, the traces left by the broom on the dirt road indicate that it is inhabited.
shouted softly inside, only to see a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, walking slightly into the courtyard, a little afraid to look directly at Chen Feng.
Seeing the appearance of the little girl, Chen Feng sighed a little disappointed, the little girl in front of him didn't know him at all.
Especially the age is not right, the daughter of the blind deer was only three or four years old at the beginning, but now three years have passed, and she is at most seven or eight years old. Although the little girl in front of her looks very thin, she can also see that she is at least ten years old.
"I'm sorry little girl, I went to the wrong door."
Chen Feng nodded apologetically at the little girl, turned around and planned to leave.
Suddenly, a man's voice came from the room, and this voice made Chen Feng stop suddenly, and looked in the direction where the voice came from with a surprised expression.
I saw a man with a wrinkled face walking out of the room tremblingly.
When the man saw Chen Feng, he was obviously stunned for a moment, wiped his eyes and kept looking Chen Feng up and down, and finally asked with some uncertainty.
"You! Are you Changgui"?
"Boss, I'm back", Chen Feng smiled and bent down at the man.
In the dilapidated house, two small beds separated by a dining table, all the belongings in the room were there.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect you to be expensive! Now he's much better than me!"
Fan Dianyuan looked at Chen Feng, who was well-dressed all over his body, with a sigh on his face, he thought that Chen Feng was a rare talent and would become a great weapon in the future.
It's just that I can't imagine that the president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and Industry has never seen such a big official position.
"The owner, no matter how big the official is, it is also your long-term work.
This time I came to find you specifically, but I didn't expect to find you in this chaos."
They have all experienced life and death, and Chen Feng didn't want to talk to Fan Dianyuan about some falsehood, so he said what was in his heart straightforwardly.
For these, Fan Dianyuan doesn't care, people who have not experienced life and death don't know what truth is. Now it is more direct to speak like this, but it is more to the hearts of both parties.
"I didn't expect that I would really live to the day when the little devil was driven away, think about the time when the little devil was in full swing, and occupied most of China in a year or two, who would have thought that there would be such an ending today"?
Speaking of this, Fan Dianyuan didn't know whether he was laughing at himself or really happy, so he couldn't help laughing, but this smile looked a little sad.
Chen Feng and the hotel staff began to talk about their experiences after separation, and when they talked about the sadness, Fan Dianyuan couldn't help crying.
The little girl who had been carefully hiding behind Fan Dianyuan on the side, saw Fan Dianyuan who was crying sadly and hurriedly comforted her behind her, and made a grimace from time to time, wanting to make Fan Dianyuan laugh.
"Owner, everything is over, it will be fine in the future".
Chen Feng didn't expect that Fan Dianyuan would experience so many things since he was separated, the two children of the blind deer were lost after getting on the train, and his only grandson arrived in Tongguan, but he was covered alive by himself.
Fan Dianyuan, who was in despair, turned around and walked back, wanting to die in his own home.
"Yes, yes, the days will be fine".
Fan Dianyuan wiped the tears from his face and pulled the little girl beside him who had been grimacing.
"This is my granddaughter, picked up on the road, her parents are dead, she is left alone, I named him Hope, he gave me hope, let me continue to live."
