The setting sun stretched the shadow of the second elder long. In an instant, the two old men, who were originally short and a little hunched back, also looked tall at this moment.

The Wei family did not dare to move, because only Wei could determine something at this moment. It's just that Wei hasn't moved, as if trying to remember something.

Especially this long figure, as if it once existed in her memory. She couldn't help but think of this scene in her mind: at the end of the day, her father and mother walked on both sides of the road, and she walked in the middle.

Holding their hands from left to right, bouncing home.

It's just that before the family had time to do anything, they were surrounded by the people who gradually came up.

After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties also ran over. He wore the most common gown, except that it was not buttoned, revealing his strong chest. Everyone seems to be accustomed to this, and no one dodges.

This person's name is Wang Laifu, and he is the village chief of Zhaoying Village. A few days ago, I heard from the people in the town that someone would come to the village to look for relatives, but I didn't expect it to come in the evening. At this time, he was not prepared.

Moreover, the villagers just came to report, and the people who came were not only looking for relatives, but also seemed to be following two people who looked like officials.

The scenery of their village is very good, and when the season comes, brassica flowers bloom all over the field, but they are very poor, and there are hardly any people coming, let alone officials.

As the head of a village, he naturally has to pay attention.

"Two adults, I am the village chief of this shadow village, and you are here...... What could help, just say. As the head of a village, Wang Laifu was originally a little afraid of the two officials. Such an official uniform, in his memory, was not even worn by the officials in the town.

But no matter how scared he is, he must take the lead.

The villagers were looking at him.

The peasants of this time and space have a natural sense of fear of the people in the government, not for why, not that they have been oppressed, anyway, when they see officials in uniform or even officials of the yamen, they are afraid for no reason.

It's a natural fear.

And the two officials who came with Sun Yunxue's family this time, one is named Zhou Pingzheng and the other is Ning Hailai, both of whom are ordinary people working in the Criminal Department. However, recently, because of Sun Yunxue's matter, he was temporarily transferred to the anti-abduction department to help.

For this arrangement, the two of them are naturally very happy, and they also know the benefits of following Bai Zhixian now. No, people have only been in the capital for less than a year, and this is showing their faces and doing big things in front of the emperor, which can be called hot.

Take the four of Song Hui as an example, in the past, they were colleagues who got along day and night, and compared with them, they were more proficient in the law, and the rest were no different at all. Most of the people who work in the Criminal Department are still good.

However, since the family formulated the law on combating abduction, they have followed Bai Zhi County out for a circle, traveled all over the country, and met the officials of various prefectures and counties, not to mention, and now they have been officially transferred to work in the anti-abduction department.

The future seems to be much better than theirs at the moment.

Now, since there is this opportunity to climb the relationship, naturally it cannot be let go.

Hearing this, Zhou Pingzheng stepped forward and said: "Village chief, villagers, we are officials of the Criminal Department, and we are responsible for helping this eldest lady find a home. She was abducted by Hanako more than 20 years ago, went all the way south, and was sold to Qingshan County. According to the clues, this lady's home is likely to be in this village, and I ask you to help identify it. ”

As soon as Zhou Pingzheng said this, the crowd of onlookers immediately exploded and began to chatter. The life experience of a person looking for relatives, and the second is that the two people in front of him are actually officials of the Criminal Department.

Oh my God, it's from the capital.

However, after watching it for a long time, I couldn't think of anything. To say that their village was indeed abducted by Hanako, several children were kidnapped, but two of them found a home some time ago.

The person in front of me, the more he looks at it, the more familiar he becomes, but he can't remember it for a while.

And the two anxious old men just now were isolated outside by the crowd at the moment, and with the crowd of people, there was no way to squeeze in, so they could only be anxious outside the crowd.

Seeing that everyone had no clue after talking for a long time, Ning Hailai said: "Village chief, you see if this will work, you can sort out the families in the village who lost their children more than 20 years ago, or call them here, we can compare them one by one." ”

Seeing that it is almost dark, it is better to be able to compare and succeed tonight. In this way, they can go back to the business. This case was registered with the emperor, and even the queen mother knew about it, so it couldn't be wrong no matter what.

This is a good idea, Sun Yunxue thought.

Since it is very likely that her mother was born in this village and was abducted from here, they can find that family as long as all the families who have lost their children are standing here.

"No need, no need, this is my eldest girl, this is my eldest girl!"

In the moment when the crowd was quiet, a trembling voice came in.

"Ah, isn't this Wang Chunlai's family? By the way, by the way, wasn't their eldest girl abducted by Hanako more than 20 years ago? ”

"Don't say it, it looks quite alike."

"But isn't it, this person looks exactly like Erya."

The crowd spontaneously moved out of the way, and the two old men squeezed in.

Wang Chunlai is in his forties today, and his wife He is five years younger than him. It's just that the hair of both of them is a little gray, and their faces are also very vicissitudes, I don't know what they have experienced, and some people believe that they are fifty years old.

Wang Chunlai stared at Wei's deadly, but he didn't dare to step forward. Weishi has changed now, and he is dressed a little richly. It was He Shi, who watched it for a while, then walked up with tears in his eyes, took Wei's hand and looked at it for a long time, and only then did he tentatively call "Big Girl" after half a sound.

This "big girl" was like a key, opening Wei's memory that had been hidden for many years, she was stunned, and then tentatively shouted "A-Niang?" ”

Wang Chunlai didn't know what to think, so he hurriedly rushed out of the crowd and ran towards the broken house. There was something wrong with his legs, but at the moment he was running fast, but he was swaying from side to side, which made everyone feel a little sad when they saw it.

And Wei and He just held hands and looked at each other with teary eyes, and they didn't know what to say. Some things are too old to be confirmed.

However, Wang Chun came back after only a stick of incense, holding a wooden box in his hand. This box was filled with a dowry when He got married, and it was made for her by He's father.

This box has been baptized by the years and is very worn. However, there is still a lock hanging on the box, which shows that it contains something very important for the couple.

Wang Chunlai unlocked the lock in front of everyone, and then held the box in front of Wei.

Wei saw that it was all children's things, including small shoes, small clay figures, small clothes, and a rattle.

"This is what A-Niang bought in the town, right? I still remember that it was the first time I went to town, and I had to buy this because I sold a few pairs of cloth shoes. Wei suddenly burst into tears, holding the rattle and refusing to let go.

She remembered everything.

It's just that He still couldn't believe it, and in front of everyone, he pulled Wei to check a few physical features.

Due to the intervention of the government, in the past two years, there have always been people who have found their long-lost children one after another, and the family has been reunited. However, she and her wife have never succeeded.

When she saw the two black moles on the back of Wei's ears, she couldn't help but hug Wei's and cry anymore, "My eldest girl, my eldest girl, where have you been all these years." If you don't come back, your father and I won't be able to live. ”

Hearing this, Wei also cried, crying so much that his liver and intestines were broken, crying for so many years of homesickness, and crying about the grievances he had suffered for so many years. In fact, if you can't eat brassica, it's nothing.

When she was a child, her adoptive mother and sister-in-law beat her badly...... However, none of that mattered anymore, and she didn't think to sue them. Anyway, she's finally found a home now.

"Hey, I've finally found a home, and there is hope for the two of us in the spring."

"Not necessarily, who knows where they live, can't the whole family move here?"

"Yes, the water spilled by this married daughter, no matter how sorry she feels for her mother's family, it is just in her heart, and it is more when she has more than enough heart and not enough strength."

Seeing the Wei family's dress, they thought that it should be a good family, and the onlookers began to talk about it.

After finally confirming the relationship between the two families, Zhou Pingzheng and Ning Hailai thanked the people around them, and chatted with the village chief for a few more words, only then did they understand why Wei's road to finding their home was so difficult.

Without him, just because there are hundreds of miles of brassica planted in the vicinity, there are many families who have lost their children. And Wei only remembers that he is called a big girl, and there is very little information. You know, the name Big Girl is everywhere.

In this way, after a few more pleasantries, Zhou Pingzheng said to the Wei family: "Auntie, now that your home has been found, our brothers have to go back to recover their lives." You see, it's not getting early, do you follow us back to the inn in the town, or do you stay in this village? ”

Anyway, their work responsibilities are over, and they don't want to worry about the rest of the matter. Besides, it doesn't matter.

Thinking of the latter thing, Sun Yunxuan said: "Thank you two officials, and I also ask the two of you to thank the adults of the abduction division on my behalf." We stayed here tonight because there were still some things to attend to. By the way, please also ask the two adults to talk to Ruan Yuping and Dong Mingju, and we will rush to the town at noon tomorrow to meet them. ”

In fact, not only Ruan Yuping's two families, but also the officials in Qingshan County who were responsible for taking them back also lived there.

As she spoke, she knelt down again, "I'm here to kowtow to the emperor and the queen mother, and thank them for their great kindness." Although the onlookers did not know why, Zhou Pingzheng knew that Sun Yunxue's kneeling and three rings did not suffer.

After some more explanations, the two left.

Seeing this, the onlookers stepped forward to congratulate the Wei family again, and then said: "Hey, big girl, it's not easy for your father and mother, in order to find you all these years, I have sold all the valuable things in the family, but I don't listen to any persuasion." Now, this body is not very good. Big girl, you have to honor them well in the future. ”

This mother-in-law is telling the truth.

At the beginning, after looking for several years, the villagers persuaded the couple to give up, don't look for it, anyway, it's just a girl, and you can get another one. And the family has to live after all, and it doesn't seem like this anymore.

However, He was reluctant to give birth, let alone give up, so he continued to look for it, but he couldn't find it at all. is also because Wang Chunlai's father and mother died early, otherwise where could he be like this.

When the couple was forty years old, He felt that he was indeed a little willful, so he agreed to have another child, but he didn't know that it was for twins, a son and a daughter, that is, the second girl and the plug in the mouth of the villagers.

With a child, He didn't dare to run around anymore, but wholeheartedly farmed with Wang Chunlai and raised the child. She put the eldest girl in her heart, she could only think about it, but she didn't dare and didn't have the conditions to look for it again.

Fortunately, the imperial court also began to pay attention to this matter later, and they saw hope.

"I know, I know. In the future, I will definitely honor my father and mother. ”

Wei and Wang Chunlai sat there talking, and when they saw this, Sun Yunxu said in Wei's place: "Mother-in-law, I am my mother's daughter, and I know that my maternal grandfather and grandmother have suffered a lot, so ah, I am ready to take them to my house to take care of them." ”

"You...... You're going to pick them up, huh? Onlookers were amazed.

"Yes, the official in the capital has agreed to my maternal grandfather and grandmother to move their household registration and move to our Chenjia Village."

This is also the reason why Zhou Pingzheng thinks that it is worth it for Sun Yunxuan to kowtow a few times. At that time, the officials of the household department figured out the emperor's intentions and agreed that Sun Yunxue would move the household registration of her grandfather's family to Chenjia Village, so that she could raise the elderly. Come to think of it, the family has just been reunited, and there is no reason to separate again.

The town officials and the village chief of Chenjia Village already knew about the incident, but it was estimated that the order had not yet reached the village.

And Chen Qianguo has also discussed with his family, and he will split up as soon as Sun Yunxu returns to his hometown. In fact, the proposal of splitting up has been said a long time ago, but it has not been done because of the busy delay.

Now, Sun Yunxu has won the award, has fifty acres of land, and it is in the village. And there are three new seeds, even if the family is separated, with Sun Yunxue's maternal grandfather's family, they can live well.

"Chenjia Village? You're from Chenjia Village?! Some villagers were the first to react and were immediately surprised.

Chenjia Village has now become a place that people all over the world yearn for.

"Yes, I am from Chenjia Village, this is my man, and he is a local of Chenjia Village." Sun Yunxue proudly introduced Chen Qianguo to the villagers.

Now, counting it, Chen Qianguo can also be regarded as the uncle of this shadow village.

If you want to talk about character, Chen Qianguo really didn't have to choose, she supported her to participate in the competition without regrets, and was willing to move her father and grandmother's family to live in Chenjia Village.

For this feeling, there are few men in Chenjiacun who can compare.

After learning about some of the situation, everyone sighed that Wang Chunlai and his family were going to follow their daughter to enjoy happiness. In a place like Chenjia Village, you don't have to do anything, and you will have dividends at the end of the year.

In the evening, the family huddles in the dilapidated and damp old house, chatting happily, talking about the past, the present, and the future. Sun Yunxue had already taken out all the sugar, snacks and other things in the baggage, and her two elders and Wei's two younger siblings ate sweetly.

Family affection is so wonderful. She is married, she is a mother, and her children are not young. Now, I want to make two little children elders.

Although there is no place to sleep, it is also very sweet for the family to huddle together like this, and warm each other by the fire.

As long as there is a family, what does it matter if the environment is simple?

Early the next morning, the village chief, who had received the order from above, opened all the household registrations of Wang Chunlai's family and respectfully handed them to them. This was an order from above, asking him to do it quickly.

Thinking about leaving this place where he has lived for most of his life, Wang Chunlai is really a little reluctant. However, the thought of being able to reunite with his daughter and live in Chenjia Village with his granddaughter immediately relieved.

Even for the sake of this family affection and the two young children, he should go to Chenjia Village. In this way, under the envious eyes of the villagers who spontaneously came to see each other, the Wei family walked towards the town.

In the town, I met with everyone and introduced each other, and then I took a carriage to Qingshan County.

After all, they have been delayed for a long time since this journey.

When I arrived in Qingshan County, as soon as I entered the county office, a large number of onlookers blocked the entrance of the county office, and several people had to come down first and approach the county government on foot.

According to the officials, Tao Zhixian was going to meet them in person, and there were prizes for them. And the onlookers were also very enthusiastic, since they knew that Sun Yunxue and several people had won the award, or the first in the country, they were simply crazy with joy.

Oh my God, their Qingshan County is simply amazing.

Seeing this, Wang Chunlai and when and where he had seen such a scene, he was a little frightened for a while, and asked Wei Shi with a trembling: "Big girl, are we going to the county government?" Isn't the settlement paper already ready? ”

"Abba, Auntie, don't be afraid, this is the girl who won the first place in the national competition, no, the magistrate wants to see her, and he has to give a prize?"

"Didn't the emperor already give the prize?" Wang Chunlai asked. That's fifty acres of fertile land, how can there be a prize.

In this regard, Dong Mingju's mother Zhou said proudly: "Auntie, that land is the emperor's heart and the reward of the heavenly family." But this prize is that it is to be given by the magistrate, one yard to one yard. ”

"Yes, the emperor has given it all, and the magistrate naturally can't lag behind." Ruan Yuping's mother, Li, also said with a smile. Now, she doesn't have anything to worry about. Even if the magistrate doesn't give a prize, her daughter is famous enough.

Take the reward of 50 acres of land, the emperor said that this land should be set aside for them in the local village. Immediately, their family is a small landlord, and they definitely don't have to worry about food and clothing.

Moreover, this land was given by the emperor and was to be fenced, and no one would dare to approach or occupy it at that time. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the emperor.

Now, Tao Zhi County still has to give prizes, but I don't know if it's silver or grain. It's better to give money and food like last time, how practical it is.

The most important thing is that they can be regarded as people who have seen the emperor and the magistrate. She hadn't seen it herself, but her daughter had seen it.

However, according to the meaning of the officials, only Sun Yunxuan, Ruan Yuping and Dong Mingju went in to see Tao Zhixian, and the rest were waiting outside.

After meeting, Tao Zhixian said: "You are all good, and you really brought the first one back for the official." At the beginning, the official said that no matter who won the award, even if it was the top ten in the country, the official would have a reward. Now, you actually won the first place in the country, which is a great joy. For this reason, the official has prepared fifty taels of silver for each of you as a prize. ”

So saying, someone brought money over, and one of them gave him a purse. Not to mention, this purse is really heavy.

Tao Zhixian knew that they loved cash silver, not silver tickets, and felt that it was unsightly to take silver directly, so they took a cloth bag to make it easy to carry, which was also very intimate.

"By the way, this is a plaque issued by the imperial court, come, one of you, remember to take it back and hang it up, and let the villagers be happy."

In the end, Tao Zhixian said: "This official has booked a private room for you on the second floor of Liuyunxuan, and if you are hungry, take your mother's family to have a meal." I have already settled the money, so you can eat it with confidence. The official still has something to do, so I won't keep you. ”

"By the way, Brassia, the official already knows about the relocation of your grandfather's family, you bring the household registration paper in a while, and I will let them register while you are eating, and you can take it away by the way when you leave."

After speaking, Tao Zhixian asked Ruan Yuping and Dong Mingju to go out first, and he met Wang Chunlai's family alone. Hakuchi expressed sympathy for what happened to them in their early years, condemned Hanako's evil deeds, and expressed support for their future lives.

I only heard him say: "In the future, you will live under the rule of your own officials." This place is not far from Chenjia Village, and the brassica is knowledgeable, so if you have any difficulties, you must tell the official, and the official will help you solve it. ”

After some action, Wang Chunlai's family was moved to tears.

This is the magistrate, how have they ever seen such a kind side of an official? You must know that even if it is a servant, his nostrils are facing the sky.

Speaking of which, Tao Zhixian has been in a flying mood these days. Originally, he didn't expect to be promoted in his lifetime, but he actually received a secret letter from Bai Zhi County, saying that the emperor attached great importance to Qingshan County and might come here for a private visit at any time.

Moreover, Sun Yunxue and several people have won the first place in the country, and they have already registered with the emperor and the queen mother. When he heard this, he was shocked, and then he began to rejoice, and he was sure that his opportunity had finally come.

First, there were such strange things as Sun Yunxu, and now they are well-known throughout the country; Then there is such a strange thing as Chenjiacun, which everyone in the world knows. When the emperor came and returned satisfied, it was the day of his promotion. After all, you can't find such a place in the whole country. Speaking of which, it's not that he is leading well.

Therefore, he was so polite to Sun Yunxue and the others, and he went to the restaurant to book a place to eat for them. Moreover, the most important thing is that now Chenjia Village will soon move into a family, that is, Sun Yunxue's maternal grandfather's house.

Don't look at it, this is just the most ordinary member of thousands of farmers. However, they are not ordinary people.

Why? They are people known to the emperor and the empress dowager, and they are also known to officials and volunteers all over the world.

Some time ago, in order to help this family find relatives, but the whole country took action. You know, this is the first time in the country.

Now, the family is finally reunited, and they are still living under their own rule. In the future, he will report the movements of the family to the imperial court from time to time, and at the same time, he will also tell the volunteers of the world.

Of course, it's all about the side of their happy life.

They live in Chenjia Village, can they not be happy?

The people of Qingshan County know that it is very difficult to get a household registration in Chenjia Village now, unless a big girl marries in or a newborn is born, otherwise it will not be done.

Like Wang Chunlai, it is really a blessing for Sun Yunxue.
