When Yuan Muye heard this, he asked Mengzi, "Where are their family buried?" ”

When Mengzi heard this, he said a little strangely, "That family is so bad, you still want to grave them?" ”

After hearing this, Yuan Muye said truthfully, "I want to go and see the stones." ”

Mengzi was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his head and said, "You said that the child adopted by the Wang family?" He's not dead! ”

"What? Brother Shi is not dead?! Yuan Muye said in extreme shock.

Mengzi nodded and said, "Yes, you don't know, don't you? That kid was very big back then, so he crawled to the hospital alone, and he was slightly poisoned at that time, and he was rescued when he was sent to the hospital! ”

When Yuan Muye heard this, he grabbed Mengzi's arm and said, "Then where did Brother Shi go later?" ”

Mengzi was a little hurt by Yuan Muye's grasp, and after breaking free with all his might, he said with a puzzled face, "Why are you so nervous?" I heard that he was later sent to a county welfare home...... Alas? Didn't you go to that welfare home later? Haven't you seen him? ”

After Yuan Muye heard this, it took him a long time to react from the shock, if Brother Shi was also sent to the welfare home back then, then why hadn't he seen him?! Does that make sense? There must have been something wrong in the middle, so he and Shi didn't see each other in the welfare home.

After returning to the third uncle's house, Yuan Muye didn't sleep all night, he always thought about the stone, so he left a note for the third uncle after dawn, saying that he was going to the county town to do something and would come back in the afternoon.

On the shuttle, Yuan Muye ate a few special cookies that he brought from home, and then used his mobile phone to check the current situation of the welfare home on the Internet.

When Yuan Muye stood at the door of the welfare home where he had stayed for several years, he found that everything around it had changed, surrounded by high-rise buildings, and the small welfare home was located in it.

The staff in the welfare home had already retired, and Yuan Muye looked around and didn't have any acquaintances. However, when he took out his ID card and explained that he had lived here, the current dean still received him very warmly.

In the words of the dean, "There are very few children who come out of here who can come back to see us when they grow up, and most of them have left and have not heard from us." ”

Yuan Muye asked the director about the current situation of the welfare home, and the director told him with a sad face, "You can also see that all the surrounding land has been planned by the government as a commercial area, and now our welfare home has not been moved." But the new hospital site that the relevant departments have found for us is too far away from the city, and you also know that most of the children in our hospital have some diseases of one kind or another, if it is too far away from the city, in case any child gets sick, I am afraid that it will be delayed. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Muye asked the dean, "Where is the new site?" ”

"...... in Xinhu Township," the dean sighed.

After all, Yuan Muye has lived and worked here for many years, and he still knows the situation here relatively well, as soon as he heard that the new hospital site is in Xinhu Township, he was a little surprised and said, "Isn't that sixty or seventy kilometers away from the county seat?" ”

The dean said helplessly, "Isn't it?" You think it's too far away! ”

Yuan Muye thought for a while and said, "Then have you reported this situation to the relevant departments?" ”

The dean snorted lightly and said, "Of course, I have reflected it, but the answer I can get is that there is no more ideal land for the welfare institute for the time being, only that we should move over and transition first, and then grant it to us when we find suitable land." To put it nicely, in fact, it is to coax us over first, as for whether there is a suitable place in the back, they can't care so much, anyway, we have vacated the current old hospital site......"

Yuan Muye listened and asked, "Then when will you move?" ”

The dean sighed and said, "It's just these two days, I'm waiting for the relevant departments to contact the moving company, don't look at our yard is not rich, but there are really a lot of things, if you don't take them all, you will have to sell them again when you get to the new site, and our current condition is to save a little is a little ......."

Yuan Muye was puzzled when he heard it, and said, "Aren't there any hardware facilities in the new site?" ”

The dean shook his head and said, "It used to be a dormitory for a textile factory, but then the owner of the textile factory withdrew his investment, so he gave us the ......."

After chatting with the dean for a while, Yuan Muye cut to the point and explained his true intention this time, and the dean took him to the archives of the welfare institute after listening to it.

"It's good that you've been here for the past few days, otherwise when we move, maybe these files won't be so easy to find!" The dean said with a smile.

According to the year provided by Yuan Muye, the dean turned out the information of all the children who entered the welfare home that year, and Yuan Muye really saw the file of the stone in it! It's a pity that there is only a thin piece of A4 paper in the file, which states the reason for his admission and the time of admission.

As for his last whereabouts, it was only indicated that he was adopted by an overseas Chinese couple, but the specific situation of the overseas Chinese couple was not mentioned......

Seeing Yuan Muye's lost expression, the dean comforted him softly and said, "The conditions in the welfare home were very difficult back then, and the funds were limited, although the child's file did not say in detail, but the conditions of the overseas Chinese couple's family should be good, and it is possible that they asked for this without leaving specific information." ”

Yuan Muye said with some regret when he heard this, "I didn't expect him and me to miss it like this......"

At this time, the dean casually took out another file bag and said, "Look whose file this is?" ”

Yuan Muye raised his eyes and found that there were three big characters written on the file bag - Yuan Muye, so he took the file bag with a smile, and then opened it to see the contents inside.

When the dean saw it, he smiled and said, "Your little fellow should be considered quite lucky, you should know that you have been in the hospital, and it is rare for people to adopt teenage children, otherwise you will not leave the welfare home until you graduate from high school and are admitted to college." ”

On the way back, Yuan Muye felt a little lost, although he was relieved to know that Brother Shi had a good home, but he still regretted that he didn't have the opportunity to meet his childhood playmate again.

When the shuttle bus first arrived at the entrance of the village, Yuan Muye saw the third uncle pacing back and forth under the big tree from a distance, and it was estimated that he was waiting at home in a hurry, so he came to the village entrance to pick him up.

When the third uncle saw Yuan Muye walking down from the shuttle, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "You bastard, where did you run in the morning!?" ”
