Chapter 189: Mo Yan's parents' hometown
Seeing three people walking towards the village committee, one of those chattering people shouted: "Alas, those three are from the city!" ”
When Xu Yuyao heard this voice, her eyebrows unconsciously raised, this title is really, polite and courteous, and has distinctive characteristics!
Zhao Lei and Liu Ping didn't react when they heard that person calling them like this. However, Zhao Lei still walked towards the person with a smile, still holding a cigarette in his hand: "Fellow, hello!" ”
The person who shouted looked at Zhao Lei, about fifty years old, dressed in old clothes, still holding a thermos cup in his hand, squatting there to talk to others, and then he unceremoniously took the cigarette in Zhao Lei's hand, put it behind his ear, looked at the three of them and said, "What are you three doing here?" ”
Zhao Lei said to him with a smile: "Fellow, our boss sent the three of us here to investigate some things. Look, can you tell us where the village cadres are here? ”
Hearing that the three of them were looking for a village cadre, this person's eyes, which were originally indifferent, instantly became vigilant: "If you check the matter, you will check the matter, why are you looking for the village cadre?" ”
Zhao Lei's expression was still the same, however, Liu Ping's expression standing behind him had changed a little, as if he had noticed something.
Zhao Lei still smiled and said to that person: "We came here on an errand, wouldn't it be more convenient to ask the village cadres for help?" ”
The man took the cigarette off his ear, put it in his mouth, and asked Zhao Lei again: "What are you here to investigate?" If you don't make it clear, the village cadres won't be able to help you. ”
At this time, Xu Yuyao, who had been walking around and observing the environment of the village, also walked here, and saw that Zhao Lei was still talking to the person who called them, and was a little strange: "Zhao Lei, what are you still asking?" ”
At this time, Liu Ping, who had been standing there, finally spoke: "Village director, if you want to know what we are here to investigate, then you can't help but tell us that you are the village director." ”
The expression on the face of the man who had been waiting for Zhao Lei's answer was stunned and a little embarrassed. Looking at Zhao Lei, who had been squatting in front of him, he didn't react when he heard Liu Ping's words, and he still looked at him with a smile just now, knowing that he had just exposed.
The village chief sighed, stood up, patted the ground on his body, and asked the two of them, "Where did you two see that I am the village chief, right?" ”
Zhao Lei pointed to the pocket on his chest: "How can ordinary farmers carry a small notepad with them, that is, the village director, or other village cadres will hold it." ”
As soon as Zhao Lei finished speaking, Liu Ping continued: "I didn't see your book." I just think, if you're just an ordinary villager, why don't you just tell us where the village cadres are, and ask us these questions? Probably only the village chief, worried that these few people from outside us would be uneasy and kind, so he would ask so much. ”
Listening to the words of the three of them, Xu Yuyao, who was standing on the side, also understood the cause and effect. So, at this time, she appeared.
"Hey, I thought something was going on. Director, you see that the three of us are from other provinces, and we have gone so far just to investigate some things, and we don't have any bad intentions. ”
I don't know if this village director was persuaded by Xu Yuyao, he looked at Xu Yuyao for a long time before he stood up and said, "Okay, you can come with me." ”
So, Xu Yuyao and the three of them followed behind the village director and went to the village committee.
The structure of the village committee is similar to that of a normal family, with a large living room and several offices next to it, but it is just an enlarged version.
The village chief pointed to the sofa in the living room and said to the three of them, "Sit down." With that, he went to the office, and came out with a couple of glasses and a kettle in his hands.
After pouring tea for Xu Yuyao and the three of them one by one, the village director also sat opposite them before asking him, "What are the three of you here to investigate?" ”
Zhao Lei and Liu Ping glanced at each other, and then looked at Xu Yuyao. The two of them looked a little uncomfortable, and finally, she said: "Actually, I'm an orphan, these two people are my friends, we have been investigating about my biological parents for a while, and then found out, my hometown seems to be here." ”
Hearing Xu Yuyao say this, the village director was obviously curious, "Your father is from us here?" When did he leave here? What is it called? ”
Xu Yuyao and the three of them glanced at each other again, and this time it was Zhao Lei who spoke: "We didn't find out what his name was, but we found out that he should have left here thirty years ago." ”
When the village director heard Zhao Lei's words, he thought about it, and finally said: "There shouldn't be many people who left us thirty years ago. But at that time, I was also young, not the village director, and I didn't know the specifics. Well, go out with me and ask some of the old people in the village. ”
Of course, Zhao Lei agreed with the village director's words. However, when the four of them left the village committee to look for the old people in the village, the village chief said as if they were chatting: "Actually, I remember a few people who left us 30 years ago, after all, there was a rich man among them who donated a lot of things to our village. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Yuyao knew that the person he was talking about must be Father Mo, and at this time, Zhao Lei spoke again: "Then you are still outstanding people here, after all, it is very powerful for a person to work hard outside to start a business." ”
At this time, the village director said indifferently: "Hey, what a brilliant person." At that time, there was another person who went out with him, and he succeeded on his own. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Yuyao's heart suddenly burst into the heart, and she knew that the other person he was talking about was Mo Yan's biological father. Still, she didn't move, wanting to hear what he would say.
Zhao Lei continued with the village director: "Then since he and the rich man are fellow villagers, and the two of them still come out together, they can be almost mixed anyway." ”
Hearing Zhao Lei say this, the village director shook his head: "How can there be, he is unlucky, I heard that something happened later, even his wife and two people are gone." ”
Speaking of this, the village director seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked at Xu Yuyao with some doubts: "So, I heard other people in our village who went out to work say that the two of them have a daughter, wouldn't it be you." ”
Xu Yuyao looked directly at the village director's eyes, still looking motionless: "I don't know, I don't even know what my father's name is now, but I found a little clue, he seems to be from here." ”
