Chapter 100: Carrying You Home
After returning from a visit to Chen Qianshan's house, Chen Jixing immediately went to inform the craftsmen and asked them to build according to the layout of Chen Qianshan's thatched toilets, bathrooms and kitchens. He saw it just now, and Ye liked it very much.
Most of these craftsmen came from there, and they all did it, and they didn't need him to explain it in detail.
Thinking of the manure tank, Chen Jixing said to the Ye family: "Everything in the Qianshan family is good, but the manure tank is smaller." We also have to raise pigs, chickens and ducks, so we have to build a bigger and deeper manure tank. ”
Seeing that Ye Shi also nodded, Ye Feng said: "Brother-in-law, sister, according to me, there is no need to dig so big, after all, it is just for our family to go to the toilet." ”
"What about the bathwater?"
"It's very simple, just make a secret passage in the ground and go out with it. In the winter, it is okay, but in the summer, if you take a bath and wash frequently, all the water that flows into it will not make you fat. Moreover, we raise pigs and chickens here, not in a new house, and we want to dig here. ”
After explaining, Chen Jixing felt that Ye Feng was right. He had forgotten that in the future, accommodation and farming would be completely separated. Thinking of this, he hurriedly went to tell the craftsmen his idea again.
After breakfast, Ye Feng called Yin Ping and asked him to help cut the yellow paper he bought in the city yesterday. These papers are a bit larger and longer than modern A4 papers. After thinking about it, Ye Feng asked Yin Ping and Qianyan to help cut one into four.
Small is a little smaller, but it is better not to waste it, and you can record all the things you want to say. Anyway, this time it's mainly to help Yinping find relatives, as for Qianyu, I don't think it's in Qingshan County.
And his father and mother are probably also out of town.
Qianyan didn't know the importance of this matter, but thought that it was a fun thing to cut paper with scissors, so he seriously helped cut it.
Seeing this, Yin Ping asked a little puzzled: "How did you cut the paper and cut it so small?" I remember clearly that this paper was too expensive, more expensive than braised pork and clothes. ”
Hearing this, Ye Feng said solemnly: "You'll know right away, I promised to help you, and I will do what I say." ”
Picking up the brush and preparing to write, Ye Feng thought of Ye.
If the Ye family saw it, they would definitely be sad and sad again. In the past two days, Yin Ping and Chen Qianshan have been here, and Ye Ermei is about to get married, so the Ye family is a little happier.
If you are sad, it will not be good.
So, Ye Feng decided to go to Chen Qianshan's house to do this. Anyway, his house is empty now, and he is not afraid of someone coming to visit the door, which is convenient.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng said, "Let's go, let's go to Chen Qianshan's house." ”
So, several people took paper, pen and ink, and Yin Ping took a pottery bowl with a missing mouth, and went to Chen Qianshan's house together.
Chen Qianshan was not surprised by the arrival of several people, anyway, several people were frequent visitors in the past two days. It's just that seeing a few people holding paper, pen and ink bowls, Chen Qianshan still couldn't understand it.
But he didn't ask, he still had to decorate the room. He had talked to Ye Ermei about this topic before, and Ye Ermei also talked about her preferences. So, he wanted to check again to make sure she liked it at first sight.
To be on the safe side, Ye Feng took the two to the backyard.
After Yin Ping and Qianyan finished cutting the paper, Ye Feng said to Yin Ping: "You tell me your situation in detail, the more detailed the better." For example, what characteristics do you have on your body or something. Oh yes, trait means birthmark or something. ”
"You're going to ......"
Seeing that Yin Ping probably guessed it, Ye Feng said, "Yes, that's what you think." I'm going to write down all your features on paper, and then we'll go to the city tomorrow, and we'll go to the busiest places, and we'll send one every few people. On the outside of restaurants and inns, we also put some stickers. ”
"It's a good idea, but people may not be willing to help." After more than a month of training, Yin Ping is not stupid, and knows that doing things requires motivation.
"It's simple, I'll give you a silver reward as appropriate. As the saying goes, under the heavy reward, there will be a brave man. Therefore, I will indicate that if you can provide effective clues, one person will give one or two; If I can help you find your father, I'll give him ten taels of silver. ”
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, Yin Ping was so moved that he didn't know what to say, so he only wiped his tears and said "thank you" vigorously.
To be honest, compared to Xue Dan, Ye Feng was a little weird in his eyes.
In the past ten years, although Ye Feng was also a lively person as a whole, he was not close to anyone. Two years ago, Ye Feng suddenly began to become different, and his speech became more and more deviant.
Therefore, when Ye Feng said yesterday that he wanted to help him find his father, he was still a little suspicious, thinking that it was just his casual words, after all, his own father and mother had not been found yet.
Looking at it now, it's sincere.
In this world, so far, except for Master, Ye Feng is the best for him.
Seeing this, Ye Feng said sincerely: "You don't have to be like this, not to mention that you and I are the same people, maybe when you find your father, I will need your help at that time." ”
"And what about you, why don't you help yourself?" Yin Ping asked.
"Oh, I'm not here yet. When the time comes, I'll have my own way. Ye Feng said with a smile.
That's true.
Since his background is related to peanuts, then, when the peanuts are ripe at the end of October, he will make a big splash and cause a sensation, and it is best to make it known to everyone.
If his father and mother were nearby, they would naturally hear rumors. Even if it is far from Qingshan County, the news will always pass.
And even if his father and mother are 108,000 miles away from here, he is not afraid.
Instead of wasting time on the road, it is better to make Chenjia Village the richest village in the country, famous throughout the country, and when the time comes, his father and mother will come to see him.
With tears in his eyes, Yin Ping said: "You know my basic situation, but when you write, I have an ancestral brush with a Yin character engraved on it." By the way, my toes are slightly different from others', and the second one is the longest of the five toes. I have a scar on the lower left side of my head, and I don't have any hair. ”
Holding back his tears, Ye Feng wrote them one by one, and wrote more than three hundred sheets.
Then, under the surprised gazes of Qianyan and Yin Ping, Ye Feng continued: "Chen Qianyu, who was abducted by a priest since he was a child, was more than a year old when he was lost, could speak simple words, and had two vortices on the top of his head. There is a red mole the size of a grain of rice on the right earlobe......"
"Uncle, don't worry, I won't tell my mother. When the time comes to go to the city, will you call me too? I also want to find my sister as soon as possible and take her back to live in a new house. "A thousand words said seriously.
It is said that the words of children are the most accurate, and this time, the words of a thousand words have really come true. Before the Ye family gave birth, before the family moved into the new house, they finally found Qianyu, who was already eight years old.
Yin Ping realized that it was not easy for this family to be like this.
No wonder the crowd was spreading the word that a pregnant woman knelt down in the court with a big belly and begged him to tell her about her daughter's whereabouts.
It seems that Ye Feng's sister is the pregnant woman that day.
Including myself, there are three abducted children in this family.
Yin Ping thought that if he was really so lucky and found his father and mother this time, then he would definitely repay Ye Feng. Later facts proved that Yin Ping did not break his promise.
As the only heir of the Yin family's generation, and the maternal grandfather's family is the Kang family of the capital city, the wealth inherited by Yin Ping is far beyond Ye Feng's imagination. Afterwards, he donated a large sum of silver, and together with Ye Feng, he has been serving families with lost children across the country, helping them find their lost children.
Ye Feng didn't know what Yin Ping was thinking at the moment, he was seriously writing leaflets, these ancient versions of missing person notices. Chen Qianshan accidentally overheard the words of several people, and he was also moved.
It's just that he didn't say anything, but after Ye Feng finished writing nearly four hundred leaflets, he walked out and said loudly: "I will also keep it secret for you." In the future, no matter what time of day, if you want to go to the city, come to me at any time, and I will take you in an ox cart. ”
Seeing that everyone was a little sad, Ye Feng said: "Okay, this is what you said, we will go to the city early tomorrow morning, you have to get up early." By the way, you are responsible for breakfast and lunch, and we don't bring any silver. ”
Chen Qianshan patted his chest proudly and said, "No problem, everything is wrapped up in me." It's just that you're really picky, and you've made so much money......"
After laughing for a while, several people discussed it again, determined the details, and then went home.
In the evening, Ye Feng said to Ye's family: "Sister, Dr. Zhang from the Crane Year Hall found me again yesterday, and my brother-in-law also knew about this, that is, when he grabbed the medicine yesterday, he said that the pot of dendrobium orchid that he sold to him before had been sold out, and there were only a few short sections left that were useless." So I brought it back and helped him with the work. Yesterday he gave fifty taels of silver, so tomorrow I will have to bring him a pot. Originally, I was going to keep them and put them in the forest to plant, but Dr. Zhang said that several patients were waiting for our Dendrobium to be used in medicine. So I'll send Dendrobium with Qianyan tomorrow. ”
As soon as Ye Shi heard that there were still several patients waiting for this medicine, he hurriedly said, "Don't delay, I'll send it to others tomorrow." It's not easy for those patients, they are all waiting for these medicines. ”
Ye Feng said in his heart, they are not pitiful, they are all rich people, they have high blood pressure or something, they are all diseases of wealth and nobility. But he smiled and said, "That's it, so I agreed with Qianshan that he would bring us by the way tomorrow when he went to the city to buy furniture." Because we left early, we didn't eat breakfast and went to the city to eat. ”
Ye thought about it, and this is also the reason. Now Chen Qianshan is in a hurry to arrange a new house, but he can't delay, after all, he is about to get married.
Early the next morning, to everyone's surprise, Qianyan not only did not lie in bed, but also got up early to wash his face. After freshening up, Ye Feng, Qianyan, and Yin Ping took a huge amount of twenty taels of silver and drove towards the city in Chen Qianshan's carriage.
When they arrived in the city, the four of them went to the bean curd shop they often visited, Ye Feng and Chen Qianshan each ordered a bowl of bean curd and a bun, and Yin Ping and Qianyan each ordered two fritters and a bun.
Maybe it's because I eat it once in a while, or maybe it's because it tastes really good, and everyone eats it very happily. After breakfast, Chen Qianshan pretended to be distressed and paid the money, which made several people laugh.
Out of the store, Chen Qianshan went to buy pots and pans, and now the furniture at home is basically complete, but the most commonly used pots and pans have not been bought. Because the place where these kitchenware was sold happened to be along the way with the Crane Year Hall, Chen Qianshan volunteered to hold the dendrobium orchid and said that he would send it to the Crane Year Hall.
In fact, he knew that the three of them had more important things to do today, and they couldn't delay, so he wanted to help them run errands.
Seeing this, Ye Feng was not polite, and took the two of them directly to several large and well-known restaurants in the city, and when they saw the charitable and amiable person, they began to distribute leaflets. As soon as I encountered a suitable corner, after observing the flow of people, I picked the place with a lot of people and posted it.
Everyone had already received a flyer more than half a month ago, so this time they were all calm and didn't make a fuss.
Looking at the leaflets that were sent out with Yin Ping and a thousand words, several people suddenly felt confident.
Whether you can find it or not, it's always hard work.
If you want to change the usual, such a big movement will definitely attract Kang's and her two maids. However, at the moment, the three of them were in the Salesian Bureau, so they could not receive this leaflet that they had been waiting for for more than ten years.
Seeing that Kang's came again, Aunt Wu said: "Mrs. Kang, you are here again, you are really a bodhisattva." You are so kind to these children, the Bodhisattva will definitely bless you to find the little master as soon as possible. ”
Aunt Wu's words were not perfunctory, but heartfelt thanks. To say that there are a lot of women and young ladies who have done good deeds in the Salesian Bureau over the years, but most of them are for show, so as to win the name of kindness, and they can't last long.
As a foreigner, Kang's is the same as always. I have been in the city for so long, and I come every few days, and every time I bring with me what the Salesian Bureau needs most, cloth, food, firewood, medicine, and so on.
However, if she knew Kang's identity, she probably wouldn't dare to call her Mrs. Kang.
Hearing this, Kang said: "Aunt Wu, you don't have to be polite, I am not only doing this for my son's blessings, but also for these poor children." By the way, have you counted it? How many children have been abducted here? ”
Kang Shi saw that Ye Feng's method of sending leaflets and posting notices to save Wang Hu was very useful, and he was greatly inspired, so he not only sent someone to write a thousand leaflets with basic information about Yinping, but also asked Aunt Wu to count the information of all the babies here.
She writes leaflets about abducted children and prepares them to be distributed everywhere she goes. Such a wide net, presumably someone will always see it.
Hearing this, Aunt Wu said, "The statistics are good." After a few days of calculations, there were 320 babies in the Salesian Bureau, of which 215 were abducted by Hanako, and the rest were either orphans or abandoned by their biological parents because of their disabilities. ”
Hearing this, Kang Shi was a little emotional, she didn't know what those parents who lost their children because of their disabilities thought. replaced her, as long as her son is alive, no matter what he looks like, she can always love him as before.
Someone hired by Kang's came in and started writing with a pen and paper. Aunt Wu read it on the side, and if she couldn't remember it clearly, she called the person concerned over, asked carefully, and then began to repeat it.
Although there are more than 200 children who need to write information, Kang is a smart person. She hired a total of five people, and after making sure that everyone had written down the information about the more than 200 children about seven or eight times, she let the five people ride in a carriage and run in five different directions centered on Qingshan County.
When you arrive at your destination, you go to the most prosperous place in the local area, write and send it out at the same time.
If you want to say that this carriage is still provided by Gu Xi, it is all free. The locations were also chosen by her, and they are the most prosperous places within a few hundred kilometers of Qingshan County. She is the magistrate of the county, and it is easy to inquire about these news.
But his intuition told Kang that Gu Xixi was a little too enthusiastic about doing good deeds this time. However, there was more gratitude in her heart. Gu Xixi did this, but it saved her a lot of trouble.
After all, she was unfamiliar with this place.
Bai Zhixian is even more good at franchising, and the fact that he took the risk of beheading Kang Bran somehow spread to the capital so quickly and reached the ears of the emperor. When the emperor heard this, not only did he not get angry, but said "very good".
These words came back through the eyes and ears of the Gu family in the court, which made him very happy.
It seems that this time, he was right.
Therefore, when he learned that Kang was going to use a carriage to deliver news to a foreign country, he sent the best carriage without saying a word. For him, it's just a gesture. If there is really any move to win the hearts of the people, it is also his credit.
As a result, only half an hour after the leaflet was delivered, and before Kang's left, a couple of about thirty people came crying and shouting.
As soon as they entered the door, the couple excitedly pointed to the information on the flyer and asked, "Madam, this, yes, this is this, this is the five-year-old, the hair is naturally curly, the speech is a little stammering, and there is a black birthmark on the left leg near the knee." This is my daughter, we remember it very well, and we can't be wrong. ”
Kang was frightened by the couple's enthusiasm, and at the same time began to pray, she sincerely hoped that the couple would succeed in recovering their daughter.
Aunt Wu comforted the excited couple, then walked into the house, looked for a long time, and finally brought the girl out.
As soon as the couple saw the girl come out, the man couldn't help it at first, ran over, pulled the little girl who was at a loss, and began to check her hair. Seeing her with curly hair, I was excited in my heart.
As a result, before he could react, the woman had already pulled up the girl's skirt, and when she saw it, there was indeed a black birthmark on her left leg.
Seeing that the girl was at a loss, the couple began to ask some questions step by step.
I only heard the woman ask, "Son, tell me, do you remember where your home is?" Who is in the house? ”
Aunt Wu knew that the other party was anxious, but she often couldn't ask anything when she asked like this, and the little girl was a little scared by the two of them at the moment, and she was trembling all the time.
Some memories will be hidden deep in the heart since they were trafficked, and they are not willing to show them easily. And the severed family affection, where can it be continued.
So, Aunt Wu walked over, hugged the little girl for a while, and then said: "Don't be afraid, tell the aunt everything you think, it's okay, good boy." ”
The little girl has only been here for half a year.
Previously, she was abducted by Hanako and sold to a childless couple in Qingshui Town. At the beginning, the couple was really good to the little girl, and it was almost the same as their own child.
However, three months after the little girl was bought, the girl became pregnant.
At this time, the couple began to be picky, how to look at it unpleasantly, and in the end they actually disliked the little girl's curly hair, and said that there was no such hair near here, and it was of unknown origin.
But in the end, he endured it, and there was no out-of-the-ordinary behavior.
As a result, immediately after the earthquake and plague in Qingshui Town, the couple felt that it was not safe to continue living in the town, so they led the little girl out together. Halfway through, the couple slipped away quietly while the little girl was not paying attention.
The little girl saw that her adoptive parents didn't want her anymore, so she had to beg with the wandering army and came all the way to Qingshan County. Later, the county government felt that their group was an obstacle to the view, so they all drove them into the Salesian Bureau.
Of course, those beggars they have no way. And the Salesian Bureau can't support so many people at all, and the government will turn a blind eye.
Hearing Aunt Wu's question, the little girl trembled and said, "I...... I don't remember either, I just know that I have a yellow puppy at home, and I will give it to him when I eat meat, and my mother will not scold me. My dad would take me to the market and let me sit on his shoulder...... I...... I have a yellow cat embroidered on my pillow, which my mother embroidered for me. ”
Every time the little girl said a detail, the couple was happy.
It's just that they didn't dare to cry loudly, because they were afraid that their crying would scare the little girl and affect her memories.
In this way, the couple cried silently on the side, tears all over their faces. The little girl, under the guidance of Aunt Wu, said all the details she could remember.
"Juan'er, do you really not remember your mother? You see, this is your favorite pastry, and my mother bought it in Wu Kee's shop. Juan'er, think about it, you used to like to lean on your mother's arms and let your mother grate your hair. ”
The woman looked at the little girl expectantly, hoping that she would remember herself.
The man said, "When you sit on your father's shoulder, you always dislike your father for scratching your feet, and you always say that your father is bad." You see......"
As he spoke, the man stepped forward again, squatted down, and pulled his hair with one hand and said, "Dad's hair is also like this, curly, our Liu family is like this." ”
As if the little girl suddenly thought of something, she mustered up the courage to take a step forward, and suddenly asked out loud: "Xiaohua, where is Xiaohua?" ”
Xiaohua is a puppy that Liu Yong bought for Liu Juan, and she is now two years old.
Hearing this, Liu Yong burst into tears even more, and said in a choked voice: "Xiaohua is waiting for you at home, go, go back with your father, okay?" ”
As he spoke, he squatted down, as low as before, so humble that it was convenient for the little girl to sit on.
Seeing this familiar posture, slowly, the little girl walked over to Liu Yong, who was squatting, and carefully sat on his shoulder. Then, as if a conditioned reflex, she stretched out her little hand and patted Liu Yong's back three times.
Liu Yong's back stiffened, tears blurred his eyes instantly, and he took the little girl's hand, and then slowly stood up.
It was a code word between him and his daughter.
If you sit firmly, pat him lightly on the back and pat him three times before he gets up.
If the birthmark on the child's leg and the curly hair on the head can be faked, then this action, in this world, is only known to Liu Yong and his biological daughter.
In this way, Liu Yong slowly left with Liu Juan on his back. The woman walked a few steps, then returned, knelt down and kowtowed to a few people, and then followed.
Seeing this, Kang's eyes were hazy with tears in his eyes and he had begun to sob.
It's been more than ten years, when will she be able to do this, hold her son's hand again, and return home together?
