Tanjiagou and the Huaishu Brigade are facing each other, and the distance is about twenty miles, and Zhou Xiaoran and the others have no means of transportation and can only go on their legs.

Zhou Xiaoguang carried the five catties of cornmeal given by Grandma Zhou, so he didn't pay for anything alone.

In fact, although Grandma Zhou is eccentric, she has nothing to do with the Holy Mother, but she is really good to the Liu family, I heard that when Zhou Xiaoguang's mother was alive, the two families were quite close, and now that they are gone, the uncles of the Liu family can still be stained with light.

When I arrived at Liu's house, I didn't find anyone, and the courtyard doors were locked.

"I guess I've gone to the ground, let's go look for it."

Zhou Xiaoran thought about it, although the timing was not very good, but he couldn't wait.

"Brother, my feet hurt and I don't want to leave, or I'll wait for you here."

Zhou Xiaoguang thought for a while, "It's okay, then you stand on the courtyard wall and follow it, you can't get the sun there." ”

Zhou Xiaoran nodded happily: "Don't worry about me, you go, go slowly, don't worry." ”

When Zhou Xiaoguang was out of sight, Zhou Xiaoran immediately set off and ran towards the destination this time.

Liu's family is at the foot of the mountain, and after walking around the mountain for ten minutes to the east, you can see a quarry when you turn a corner, and the people who work there are basically people who have been sent here for labor reform.

Zhou Xiaoran came once, still when he was one and a half years old.

At that time, when Chen Yun hugged the little Zhou Xiaoran in front of the two old men and said, "This is Xiaoran, your own granddaughter." At that time, I never imagined that the body of this one-year-old girl lived the soul of an adult.

And Zhou Xiaoran couldn't imagine that those two weathered old men looked exactly the same as the grandparents in their previous lives in their memories.

Since then, Zhou Xiaoran has been thinking about sending something in the name of Chen Yun every year since he was eight years old.

I found a remote corner and took out a bag of coarse grains, a bag of fine grains, a basket of eggs, and a little red dates and wolfberries from the space.

The old man in charge of registration looked at the grain bag while looking at Zhou Xiaoran with a pair of radar-like eyes, and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Su Xiaoqian?" ”

"Uncle, I am the child of his friend's family, and the elders in the family are seriously ill and have a last wish, so let me take a look."

"Where's the letter of introduction?"

Zhou Xiaoran was blindsided, and he still had a letter of introduction?

As soon as the uncle saw this, he understood, even if he drove Zhou Xiaoran away.

"Uncle, my letter of introduction has fallen at a relative's house in the county, otherwise, you can let me go in and take a look, no one will come to check anyway."

After Zhou Xiaoran finished speaking, he grabbed four eggs and stuffed them into the uncle's hand: "Uncle, you take it home and give it to your grandson to eat." ”

The uncle was about to say something, but suddenly shifted his gaze from the egg to behind Zhou Xiaoran, and shouted with a smile: "It's here, come in." ”

Zhou Xiaoran turned around.

A green military uniform glanced at Zhou Xiaoran's hand stuffing eggs, and nodded at the uncle: "Hey, the third master, you are busy." ”

Zhou Xiaoran is unbalanced, why do you have to bribe eggs to get in.

"Hey, you wait for me, let's go together." Zhou Xiaoran stopped the green uniform.

He said to the uncle: "I'm with him." ”

The uncle glanced at Zhou Xiaoran suspiciously, and asked the green uniform: "Big country, do you know this girl?" ”

Zhou Xiaoran nervously glanced at the green uniform.

The green military uniform stared at Zhou Xiaoran for a few seconds, and then slowly spoke: "I know, but we are not looking for a person, please trouble the third master to take her to meet the person she wants to meet." With that, he strode away.

The uncle put the egg in his pocket and waved his hand, "Don't be stupid, keep up, I'll take you to find someone." ”

Zhou Xiaoran followed in a daze, thinking to himself, this man in green military uniform is quite good.

Rows of sheds, cold in winter and hot in summer.

The uncle took Zhou Xiaoran to the front of a shed, "Wait here, I'll call someone for you." ”

In less than ten minutes, two gray-haired old men approached.

When I saw it fourteen years ago, I could still see the green silk.

The two looked at Zhou Xiaoran suspiciously.

Suddenly, one of them shouted in surprise: "You, you are, you are Xiaoran?" ”

Zhou Xiaoran had a feeling that his long-term longing had been relieved, and he didn't know if it was from his previous life or this life.

"I am, I'm Xiaoran, grandparents."

"By the way, let's get inside and put these things away." Zhou Xiaoran said.

"Good, good"

Grandma Su opened the door excitedly.

"Xiaoran, did your mother ask you to come?" Grandpa Su asked.

"Well, I'd like to see you myself."

After the initial surprise, Grandpa Su began to sigh again: "Hey, you shouldn't have come, so as not to burden you, our Su family was already sorry for your mother and daughter, and we can't ....... anymore Ay. ”

Sure enough, there is a story, Zhou Xiaoran thought that Chen Yun was pregnant and married to Zhou Zhipeng, and at that time, the Su family had not yet fallen, as Chen Yun, who was pregnant with the blood of the Su family, married Zhou Zhipeng, it could not be a political reason.

However, this is not a good time to know the truth, and time is limited.

"Grandparents, I'm here to see you guys this time, are you okay, I haven't brought much with me, if you lack anything, tell me, I'll send it back later."

"We don't lack anything, it's all a handful of old bones, everything we eat is a waste, you take these things back, how expensive the food is these years, your mother sends food over every year, besides, although it is hard to work here, but you won't starve to death."

"I've taken it all, how heavy it is to move it back, besides, it's so hard to work in this place every day, how can I do it without food, if you insist on me taking it back, my mother will have to break my legs."

"You kid." Grandma Su burst into tears: "It's our Su family who is sorry for you, what a good girl your mother is." ”

"Okay, just accept the child's filial piety, you go cook, let the child eat before leaving."

"Grandpa, no, I have to leave now, my brother is still waiting for me."

Zhou Xiaoran got up as he spoke, and after a while, his brother must have returned.

Zhou Xiaoran ignored Grandpa Su's retention and ran away in a hurry.

"Bang-"

The butt hurts.

Zhou Xiaoran raised his eyes and saw the green uniform.

"Comrade, can you get up?"

Zhou Xiaoran suddenly felt that this person was a little familiar, not the kind of familiarity he had just seen.

"Do you want to take you to the county hospital?"

Ah, I think about it, isn't this the green uniform on the train, and it's no wonder that Zhou Xiaoran didn't recognize it, there are too many people wearing green uniforms in this era.

"Comrade?"

Zhou Xiaoran squatted on the ground, looking at the man in front of him who was half-bowed down and asked about himself, his tall body seemed to envelop him, and he suddenly felt a feeling of oppression, and his heart was slightly unhappy.

"I can't get up, you help me."

The green military uniform hesitated, stretched out his arm, and motioned for Zhou Xiaoran to help himself.

It's pretty old-fashioned!

Zhou Xiaoran ignored the arm and handed his arm out.

The green military uniform glanced at Zhou Xiaoran and pulled her up.

This look.

Zhou Xiaoran squirmed and said, "Thank you." "Thank you for helping her speak.

"And how are you going to thank you?"

Zhou Xiaoran was stunned? How thanks?

The green military uniform said slowly: "I just saw you bring in a bag of red dates, I have a request, can I change some." ”

"That's already gone, no." There are many more in the space, this is the jujube tree of the space, Zhou Xiaoran dried it himself.

"I can exchange my ticket for any ticket." The green uniform does not give up.

Zhou Xiaoran hesitated, any ticket is fine!

"But now it's really gone, I still have it at home, but I have to wait until I return to the provincial capital."

"Yes, then wait until you go back to the provincial capital."

"Then, how can I give it to you, I have to pay for it with one hand and deliver it with the other."

The green army uniform pursed his lips: "No problem, you give me an address, and I'll look for you when the time comes." ”

Zhou Xiaoran thought about it and gave his father Zhou Zhipeng's address in the factory.

"Okay, what ticket do you want? I prepared in advance. ”

Zhou Xiaoran rolled his eyes and thought about it, and said, "Let's talk while walking." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked out.

The green uniforms were stunned for a moment, and followed.

"How many dates do you want? Anything else? ”

Zhou Xiaoran heard that the salary of the military at this time was very high, and he should be able to afford more things, and maybe he could develop into a regular customer.

"What else do you have?" Green asked.

"Well, I still have eggs, and fresh fruit."

"Then I'll order more eggs."

"How much?"

"I'm not sure right now, I'll talk to you next time." The Green Uniform considered the money he had left over from handing it over to his family, and the timing of his next paycheck.

"Hey, what's your name, I'll have to sign up for you when the time comes, right?" The Green Uniform asked.

"My name is Zhou Xiaoran."

"My name is Tan Shiguo, I am an active-duty soldier, and I am currently studying at the Army Command College in the provincial capital."

Zhou Xiaoran was a little sweaty, she didn't seem to ask so much.

"Xiaoran, Xiaoran."

Brother's voice!

"Brother, I'm here." Zhou Xiaoran shouted loudly.

Zhou Xiaoguang panted and ran over, "Why are you running here, I've been looking for it for a long time, and I thought you lost it." ”

"I, I, he's lost, I'm showing him the way." Zhou Xiaoran pointed to the green uniform.

"Comrade, where are you going?" Zhou Xiaoguang asked.

"Uncle Daodao, why are you here? When did you come back? I heard that you are a big official, is it true? A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who followed Zhou Xiaoguang stepped forward.

Zhou Xiaoguang was surprised: "Lanzi, do you know this?" ”

Lanzi nodded: "This is the great uncle of the eighth grandmother's family." ”

Zhou Xiaoran is embarrassed, her surname is Tan, this is Tan Jiagou, do you still use her to show the way?

Zhou Xiaoguang tapped Zhou Xiaoran with his finger.

"Eh, brother, I'm kidding you, I'm just too bored to be alone, so I went out for a walk, and I got lost, and this PLA uncle is showing me the way." After speaking, he gestured with his eyes to the green uniform.

Tan Shiguo was amused in his heart, but he echoed solemnly: "I saw that this little comrade has been here several times, so I came over to ask." ”

Zhou Xiaoran gave a "Shangdao" look.

"Thank you so much, my sister is naughty, don't be surprised."

"No, to serve the people."

Zhou Xiaoran followed Zhou Xiaoguang and walked back, feeling comfortable all the way, and the task was completed.

"Uncle Dao is the most promising person in our village, and he is a senior official in the army."

"It's just that I heard my mother say that his daughter-in-law ran away with someone else, and now she has become an old bachelor."

"How old is he?" Zhou Xiaoran asked.

Lanzi tilted his head and thought about it: "I don't know, but his nephews are all married to daughters-in-law, so they should be quite old." ”

In Zhou Xiaoran's opinion, that person is only thirty years old at most.

"Brother, when are we leaving?" After the matter was done, Zhou Xiaoran didn't want to stay in Tanjia Village any longer.

"What's the hurry, sit in the room first, come from afar, you have to drink saliva." Lanzi said hurriedly.

Zhou Xiaoguang looked at Zhou Xiaoran, "Otherwise, let's sit down first and rest our feet, it's still early anyway." ”

Zhou Xiaoran nodded indifferently, and Lanzi happily led the two to their home.
