Chapter 223: The First National Conference on Searching for Relatives (2)
After speaking, Kang was helped down by someone.
Originally, she didn't plan to go on stage to show her face, because it was really unnecessary. As Ye Feng said, the work is divided into front of the stage and behind the scenes, as long as they do the things in the back, they are also helping people.
However, Bai Zhixian personally invited her several times, and his words were sincere, and he implied openly and secretly that if she went, he would support their work even more vigorously. After thinking about it, Kang felt that this was nothing to him, just to share some of his real experiences.
If you can get the support of the county lords, it's worth it.
When everyone's emotions were almost brewing, Bai Zhixian took the stage again to deliver a speech: "I will not delay everyone's precious time to find relatives, but there is one thing that needs to be clarified, that is, please abide by the order and please respect our volunteers." In order to prepare for the national family search conference, they have not rested for many months, and they have to study at night, which is very hard. ”
"Our volunteers are about to take everyone to start looking for their relatives, and if there is chaos in the order, it will be even more chaotic, and it will take a longer time. So please line up and follow the command. Now, I announce that the first National Family Tracing Conference in Chenjia Village is now open! ”
After listening to Bai Zhixian's words, everyone understood in their hearts that there were so many people at the scene, and it was indeed impossible to do things just by crowding around, so they all obediently sat and stood still, waiting for the arrangement of the volunteers.
It's just that they are very worried in their hearts, after all, so many people, when will it be their turn? The longer you stay here, the more you spend. Although the house in which they live at this moment does not cost silver, they eat for silver.
It's cheap, but it's also money.
However, they are not to blame, because they don't know the operation here at all, let alone the efforts of Ye Feng and various volunteers in the past few months in order to maximize work efficiency.
In addition, all counties have sent government representatives, who are waiting on the side at the moment, and it would be best if the relatives were on the scene. If they are not available, the volunteers will bring the information back to the representative and continue the family search activities in the county.
Moreover, the Liqun Association also discussed it a few days ago, and took out a few thousand taels of silver to prepare. After verification by the government, if the family is really in difficulty, they will subsidize ten taels of silver.
The rest, the local government is estimated to be indicated. After all, the imperial court issued an order at the beginning of the year, thinking that they had a relevant budget.
Just when everyone was surrounded by various emotions such as apprehension, anxiety, expectation, and anxiety, the people around them had been called away by volunteers one after another. The men first reported where they came from and were taken away by volunteers in charge of different areas.
Looking at the more and more vacant seats in their identities, and the more and more people in front of them with small cards, their hearts are a little more stable.
In terms of efficiency, it is still very promising.
However, the good news was still to come, and soon, the good news was heard. Today's first case of family tracing was successful.
In a scream containing grievances, excitement, excitement and doubt, the first family to find a child in the first national family search conference in Chenjia Village was born.
Zhou Gensheng and his mother-in-law Li Taohua are from Lu County.
This Lu County is not particularly far from Qingshan County, but it is certainly not close. And the two are just honest tenants, living on tenant land. And this back and forth naturally costs a lot of silver.
The Lu County government couldn't stand the pressure of the imperial court, so they first checked the information from Qingshan County to find their relatives, and it really helped many people find their children and relatives. It's just that Zhou Gensheng and Li Taohua's only son, Zhou Xiaobao, was not found.
It is also strange to say that since the only son Zhou Xiaobao was abducted by Huazi, no matter how hard they tried, they just couldn't conceive, so legends began in the village that only Xiaobao had one son in their lives.
In the end, the Lu County government thought about it, and anyway, it would send a representative to get back the information of the abducted baby in the county, so let's bring the couple by the way.
In this way, Zhou Gensheng and his wife saved a lot of troubles and twists and turns, and even saved a lot of expenses, and followed the government's car to Chenjia Village without spending a penny. When I arrived here, I was arranged by volunteers to live in a free place.
The couple had only saved a few taels of silver for so many years, thinking that the price here must be expensive, so they were ready to spend all the silver. Who knows, what is the name of the meal here, it is specially prepared for people from poor families like them, one meat dish, two vegetarian dishes, and a bowl of noodles, adding up to only 20 yuan.
You know, not to mention the taste, the shops on the two streets at the entrance of the village are said to cost 20 yuan for just a bowl of noodles.
More surprises are yet to come.
After the couple reported that they were from Lu County, they were led to a place by a volunteer, where a big wooden sign was erected with a strange character "L" written on it, and I don't know what it means.
Then another volunteer stepped forward and asked Zhou Xiaobao for information in detail.
When Li Taohua didn't know how to describe Zhou Xiaobao's information thousands of times and said, "There are only four fingers on the left hand", she didn't expect that she didn't need to continue at all, and the volunteer was pleasantly surprised: "But the right hand is not flexible, so I am used to writing with my left hand to eat." There are three vortices on the head......"
Hearing this, Li Taohua hurriedly said: "What you are talking about is my son, what you are talking about is my son, where is he?" ”
Then, the volunteer happily led Zhou Gensheng and Li Taohua to a room with an "L" on it, but there were both children and adults inside.
Although there were a lot of people in the room, Zhou Gensheng and Li Taohua only glanced at it for a few times, and quickly locked their eyes on a thin child about ten years old. The child also felt two burning glances, and stood up crampedly, looking at the couple.
With just one look, Zhou Gensheng suddenly burst into tears, and he was sure in his heart that this was his precious son, Zhou Xiaobao.
Over the years, he didn't cry when he was hungry because of the drought and couldn't pay enough rent, and he didn't cry when he was beaten because of a dispute with the landlord's family, but at this moment, looking into the child's eyes, he cried.
In this way, the family of three hugged each other and cried, crying heartbreakingly. The people next to him laughed. Who says crying is necessarily a sign of sadness?
A lot of times, when you're really sad, you can't actually cry. On the contrary, when they are happy, they will cry.
And, one after another, the volunteers have helped many people find homes, so they are used to seeing such scenes. They are proud and proud in their hearts.
The representatives from the Lu County government were dumbfounded, they had spent so much energy helping Zhou Gensheng and his wife find their child, but nothing came of it, and the volunteers from Chenjia Village had only spent a few minutes.
"Son, my mother has finally found you, and my mother will never let us be separated in the future." Li Taohua hugged Zhou Xiaobao tightly and was unwilling to leave for a moment.
While Zhou Gensheng and his wife were finding their child, volunteers in the "M" area also helped a couple who had traveled from afar to find their daughter, who had been lost for ten years.
The couple lives far away, from the suburbs of Beijing, the man's surname is Ma, the woman's name is unknown, only the villagers call her Aunt Zhou. The husband and wife are both in their forties, and with the hardships and hardships of life, they look like they are in their fifties.
Originally, this was a very happy family, because Sister Zhou became pregnant soon after entering the door, and gave birth to her eldest son the following year. I didn't know that when I gave birth to my son, I hurt my body, and Sister Zhou didn't move until she was thirty years old when she suddenly became pregnant, and gave birth to her daughter Chunhua in the spring of the following year.
Because they are old women, and when they reach this age, they both know that it will be difficult to have children in the future, so they love Chunhua even more. Although the family is not rich, it is also self-sufficient.
Now that both children are complete, it can be regarded as happiness.
How do you know that disaster fell from the sky, during the Chinese New Year, the couple took their daughter to the market, but they were deceived by Hanako's design. By the time the couple reacted, their daughter Chunhua had been sold thousands of miles away.
That's why the couple couldn't find anyone.
At first, the couple thought that Hanako would sell their daughters to those dirty places, so they endured the shame of walking around one kiln after another. Seeing this, those who didn't know began to sarcastically, saying that it was really strange, and they had never seen the couple walking around the kiln together.
Later, Xu Shi knew the story of the couple, so he was no longer sarcastic, but helped wholeheartedly, and searched all the large and small kilns in the capital, but there was no trace of spring flowers.
During that time, the kiln in Kyori fell into a panic for a while, because there were always people who came to the door not to have fun, but to help people find children. But they didn't dare to refuse, because the government also knew about it.
Although no one was found, the couple was both happy and sad, happy that their daughter was not sold to such a dirty place, and sad that they didn't know where their daughter was.
Fortunately, his son was ten years old and was not pampered, so he took care of himself, and finally took his family to rent a shop, and began to sell braised meat by relying on his ancestral skills. It was also difficult at the beginning, a child, no one believed at all, or was always targeted by ruffians.
Seeing this, the couple knew that this was not the way to go, so they stopped looking for spring flowers and started a braised meat business wholeheartedly. No matter how sad you are, you have to live.
The ancestral craftsmanship of the Ma family is not false, this marinade is composed of dozens of traditional Chinese medicines, and the meat tastes very good. No, although the Ma family lost their daughter, the braised meat business was doing very well, but they bought a shop in a few years, saved a lot of silver, and married their son a daughter-in-law.
When the daughter-in-law gave birth to a child and was able to come out to take care of the shop, Sister Zhou said to her son: "Now even if you leave me and your father, you two can live." We eat and drink here every day, but your sister doesn't know where to suffer. The thought of this makes my heart ache like a knife. I've discussed it with your father, and I'll set off tomorrow to find your little sister, and you two will stay in this shop." ”
No matter how the couple persuaded them, Uncle Ma and Aunt Zhou left the capital and went south all the way to find the child. It is also their luck that the court is vigorously fighting abduction and helping to find people, so they feel more confident.
Along the way, they were hungry and hungry, and their lives were extremely irregular. In addition, Aunt Zhou unfortunately contracted the wind and cold, in order to hurry, she concealed that she did not tell the truth, and finally became heavier and heavier.
When Yin Ping went south last time, he happened to meet the couple in rags, so he felt compassion and let the couple take their own carriage all the way south, and then they successfully arrived at Chenjia Village.
Because Aunt Zhou was delirious, the volunteers were a little worried that she would not be able to tell the child's characteristics, because although Uncle Ma was sober, he was a little slurred for some reason. After thinking about it, the volunteers arranged accommodation for the couple and went to the doctor to see them.
In the end, the doctor said that Sister Zhou was fine, and she thought that she couldn't think about it for a while, and if she could find her daughter, maybe it would be good.
After listening to the doctor's words, the volunteers worked hard to help and worked hard to screen tens of thousands of messages. It's just a pity that nothing came of it until last night. Thinking that the couple was from Beijing, the volunteers were a little optimistic about this situation.
After all, ordinary Hanako sells babies, but they are unwilling to take so far to sell, which is risky and costs a lot along the way.
And just now, a volunteer suddenly shouted, "I found it, I found it." Let's go, Aunt Zhou, Uncle Ma, come with me. ”
Hearing the words "found", Aunt Zhou suddenly sobered up, stood up straight, followed the volunteer to a room, pointed to a girl now named Zhang Ni and said, "It's her." ”
Zhang Ni has no memory of her biological parents, just because she was only one year old and was abducted by Hanako. That Hanako is also a powerful person, and she took more than a dozen children, including her, all the way south, and walked a long way to sell them one by one.
And because she kept running away, she was resold by buyers. In this way, it was sold to the vicinity of Qingshan County.
She urinated well, and was raised by the family with fine skin and tender meat, so she was soon bought by the family at a high price as a child daughter-in-law. This family is really a brute, they don't treat her as a human being at all, they don't say anything about the dirty work and tiredness, and they scold at the twilight, which is simply the family's punching bag.
She really couldn't survive, so she found an opportunity to beg all the way, but in the end she was taken in by the Salesian Bureau of Qingshan County.
Seeing Zhang Ni's face similar to that of when she was young, and looking at her physical features, Aunt Zhou suddenly sobered up, and she was not stupid, and she hugged the child with Uncle Ma and cried.
In this way, although the process of searching for relatives is tiring, it is going smoothly. There is no need to go to the scene at all, just listen to the sudden cry somewhere, and people will know that someone has found their relatives again.
Although he was guarding outside and did not enter the scene, just listening to the crying sounds, he knew that there were people at the scene who kept finding their relatives who had been lost for many years. Bai Zhixian and the officials were even more proud, it seemed that the Kang family and Ye Feng really had two brushes, and the results of this morning's search for relatives alone were enough to surprise the imperial court.
At this moment, a volunteer was helping to find his family, and he started crying as he spoke. Because, he found that the message was about himself. Before, he was busy studying and training, and he didn't have time to help him find his relatives.
However, it is about a good person who has a good reward, or God has eyes, and he helps himself when others are looking for relatives.
Here's the thing, Li Faqiang is now a volunteer in Chenjia Village, but he was an orphan in Zixian County, begging in the city of Zixian. The last time Chenjia Village recruited volunteers, he did not hesitate to sign up.
Originally, it was impossible for him to be selected, but the long-term begging life made him articulate, able to speak, plus unforgettable, memory is very amazing, during the interview, he memorized the content of the notice, and added his own words, successfully made the Zixian government think he was very suitable, and sent it to Chenjia Village.
He was abducted when he was about four years old, so although he couldn't remember the information of his parents, he clearly knew that he was abducted and that he didn't belong here at all. Therefore, even as a beggar, he never stole anything, but helped the other party wash the dishes or do something in exchange for some food.
When he became a volunteer, he realized that this was what he had wanted to do for a long time. Therefore, he worked very hard when training, and with that amazing talent, he was always the first to comprehend Ye Feng's intentions.
What's even more powerful is that he can also transform the meaning that Ye Feng finds difficult to express in words that these volunteers can understand. Therefore, after several months of training and investigation, he has now become one of Ye Feng and Kang's biggest help.
Just now, an elderly couple dressed up and looking very comfortable came here to look for their son, who had been missing for eight years. The reason why it is said to be very comfortable is because the couple is pampered at first glance, and life should not be bad, otherwise there is no such temperament.
And the clothes are very elegant, although they are rich, they do not show off their wealth, but they are also dressed very decently, which makes people feel respectful.
According to the couple, their child was lost in Yi County, so Li Faqiang took the couple to the "Y" area.
The couple is also knowledgeable, and they have seen the process of other people looking for relatives, so they said to Li Faqiang: "This little brother, our husband and wife are literate, and the information I want to come here is all the information of the children lost in Yi County." I see you're quite busy, too, or you can leave us alone, you go and help the others, and we'll just find it slowly. ”
It's rare to see such an empathetic person, Li Faqiang thought to himself. People who come here are very eager to find their children as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Li Faqiang said, "You are not in a hurry. If this continues, you won't have time for dinner. "It's getting darker, and it's going to get dark. Although the volunteers have prepared the lights, they are not as convenient as during the day.
Unknowingly, the woman said: "How can we not be in a hurry, we have been in a hurry for eight years." It's just that the more anxious we are, the more we can understand those fathers and mothers who haven't found their children yet. I'm literate, and even if I can't find it today, I'll just stay up all night. But when it gets dark, you also have to rest, and those who are illiterate will have to wait for tomorrow. And then they have to endure another night. However, how can the father and mother who have not found the child have nights, and where can they sleep. As for dinner, we haven't eaten it for eight years. That kid was lost at dinner, and I couldn't find him for a day, where do you think we have the face to eat dinner? ”
When Li Faqiang heard this, he was very moved, firstly, the couple wanted to help others first in order for the volunteers to serve others to the greatest extent, and secondly, they had not eaten dinner for eight years because of the loss of their child.
What kind of perseverance is this that sustains them.
Thinking of this, he wanted to help the couple find their son more and more.
If only they could find it tonight, they would have their first dinner in eight years. It's just that, looking at the age of the couple, the lost child should be an old man, and there are still children in front of the couple.
Li Faqiang said: "I thank you on behalf of the volunteers and the families who have lost their children. It's just that we have a fate today, and I don't know why, so I want to help you find it first. Don't refuse, just tell me about your child's information, we've arranged the order of the information, I know best, and it's easier to find. ”
The woman said, "Thank you, my youngest son is twelve years old, he was lost eight years ago, and he had to take a bone to the door to feed the little yellow dog while the family was having dinner." I thought that I was just going to feed the dog at the door of the house, and he had fed it like this several times before, so I didn't care, but took care of his eldest brother, second brother and third sister to eat. ”
"Little yellow dog, isn't it...... Is it called a jewel? Li Faqiang blurted out. It's just that as soon as the words came out, he himself was stunned, why did he blurt out this name.
The woman was stunned and said, "How do you know?" After speaking, he looked him up and down suspiciously. After thinking about it, I thought that maybe I had said it in other places and was known by the volunteers of Chenjia Village. If this is the case, the volunteers in Chenjia Village are really powerful, and they can collect any information.
The woman continued, talking about her youngest son's age and physical characteristics, and said a past incident: "My son has a different hobby, and likes to hide silver tickets and small pieces of silver in different places. Sometimes it's next to a rockery in the garden, sometimes it's pressed under a small rock on the side of the road. To this day, I don't know where he put the piece of jade that his grandfather gave. ”
The old lady was immersed in the memories of the past, and the man echoed it, adding a few words from time to time, such as a few treasures.
"Is that jade the material of mutton fat white jade, engraved with Guanyin Bodhisattva on the front and the words health and longevity engraved on the back? I still remember that Guanyin Bodhisattva's net bottle was originally inserted with willow branches, and I didn't like it to look good, so I scratched it with a knife, and later, later, ......"
Li Faqiang didn't know why he remembered this, but he just tried to remember. The woman resisted the urge to cry, and was pulled by the man so as not to disturb Li Faqiang's memories.
"By the way, my mother later said that willow branches were originally to be inserted in the net bottle, but if you don't like it, I'll make you a new jade pendant engraved with Xiao Huang, okay?"
Seeing that Li Faqiang said everything she said, and she had never said these words to anyone, it can be seen that this person is her son.
The man was more cautious, and suddenly said: "I always think that the inkstone in Chaozhou does not gather water, so I bought a famous inkstone in Huizhou, who knows, my son ......."
Hearing this, Li Faqiang continued: "I accidentally broke the inkstone, not to mention the ink that splashed all over my body, and cut the little finger of my left hand." The ink soaked in it, and I couldn't wash it off no matter how much I washed it, and from then on, there was a black piece on my little finger. ”
