The Red Star production team where Mr. Du's relatives belonged was still more than 20 miles away from Yunshan City, and the driver stopped the car at noon, and several people ate the meat buns brought by Ruan Zhonghua on the side of the road, and continued to hurry.

At almost two o'clock in the afternoon, I finally arrived at the Red Star production team.

The car bumped along the country road and stopped in front of the village council.

As soon as Susie and Ruan Zhonghua got out of the car, they were greeted by people from the village committee, with a warm and respectful attitude, "Hello, comrade, may I ask who you are-"

Ruan Zhonghua had Susie's camera around his neck, and he stretched out his hand, "Hello comrade, I am from the provincial government, and my name is Ruan Zhonghua." ”

The comrades of the village committee were immediately in awe, the people of the provincial government! Even if it's just a clerk, it's amazing to them.

He hurriedly shook hands with Ruan Zhonghua, "Hello, hello, I'm Liu Jingang, the captain of the Red Star Production Team." ”

Ruan Zhonghua explained the intention, "We came here to find an old man named Du Yaoxian. ”

Liu Jingang suddenly realized, "Some time ago, someone came to inquire about his family, should it-"

Susie nodded beside her, "I asked someone to come and inquire." ”

Ruan Zhonghua introduced Liu Jingang, "This is Mr. Su from Hong Kong City. ”

Liu Jingang blinked a few times, he didn't quite understand what this "total" meant, it was estimated that it was an official, he shook Susie's hand warmly, "Lao Du should be at home now, I'll take you over." ”

Along the way, Liu Jingang told Susie all the way about the situation at Du Yaoxian's family.

"He has two sons and a daughter, the daughter married in the next village, and the two sons have already married a family, and there are several grandchildren."

"Lao Du is not in good health, he takes medicine all year round, and his family is also in difficulty."

Susie asked as she walked: "I heard that this Uncle Du also has a brother-in-law and a nephew?" ”

Liu Jingang nodded, "His brother-in-law, Second Sister Liu, has been widowed for many years, her man joined the army a few days after he got married, and if he never returns, he should have died outside." ”

"In the second year after her man left, Liu Ermei gave birth to a son, and now he is almost forty."

Susie was surprised and asked, "The child belongs to her husband?" ”

Liu Jingang hesitated for a moment, "It should be her man's, Du Ping's kid looks like the Du family." ”

"This second sister Liu is an honest person, she usually never flirts with men outside, she was born well when she was young, many people told her to kiss, she died and didn't marry, saying that she was going to wait for her man to come back, and she waited for decades."

Susie listened to it and admired it in her heart, Mr. Du left in forty-two years, and at that time there was still a war, a woman without a husband, and she brought up her son, so she must have suffered a lot.

As he spoke, he arrived at Du's house, Liu Jingang pointed to the blue brick and black tile house in front of him and said: "This is the Du family, this house is still in the hands of Lao Du's grandfather." ”

"Lao Du's family and his brother's daughter-in-law's family all live here."

Susie looked at the five large tiled houses in front of her, and she remembered that Mr. Du said that he studied in a private school when he was a child, and this family should have had some family background in the past.

The courtyard wall of the Du family's courtyard was dilapidated, the two wooden doors were mottled with paint, the courtyard door was open, and Liu Jingang shouted: "Old Du, someone is looking for you!" ”

There were a few coughs in the room, and then a rickety figure came out of the room.

Susie took a look at it, a thin old man, dark, with furrows on his face, and he could vaguely see from his face that he was somewhat similar to Mr. Du.

The old man looked at Susie and them, "You're—"

Susie smiled, "Hello, my surname is Sue, Susie. ”

Liu Jingang explained beside him: "This is Mr. Su from Hong Kong City. ”

Lao Du was confused, and stretched out his hand into the house, "Please sit in the room." ”

Susie and Ruan Zhonghua entered the house, and Liu Jingang stood at the door and walked away with interest.

Susie looked into the room, although it was a hall, there was a bed in the corner, and there was an old-fashioned placket jacket on the bed, which seemed to be the old man's bed.

Lao Du invited someone to sit down, opened the back door and shouted: "Old woman, you're here, pour tea!" ”

After a while, an old woman came through the back door with mud on her hands, apparently just working in the garden, she wiped her hands on her apron, took two enamel jars, and poured tea leaves into them without washing.

Susie hurriedly stopped, "Auntie, don't be busy, we just drank water, we don't need to pour tea." ”

The old woman hesitated, "You really don't want to drink?" ”

Susie smiled, "I really don't drink, we're not thirsty, you're busy." ”

The old woman went to the vegetable garden again through the back door, and closed the door as she went.

Only then did Susie explain her intention to Old Man Du, "That's right, I know Mr. Du Yaoguang well, and he asked me to find my relatives." ”

Old man Du's eyes widened, and he was about to say something, when he suddenly coughed violently. 、

The whole room echoed with Old Man Du's coughing sound, and Susie was terrified when she heard it, feeling that Old Man Du was about to cough out all his internal organs.

She asked with concern, "You don't matter, right?" ”

Old man Du waved his hand, and it took a while to calm down, and he took a few breaths, "He's still alive?" Is it on the other side of the island? ”

Susie shook her head, "Alive, in Waidian." ”

Old man Du stood up suddenly, walked to the door, opened the door and shouted next door, "Second sister, you call Du Ping, I have something to tell you." ”

Someone next door said yes, and after a while, a middle-aged man and an old woman pushed the door open and entered.

Susie estimated that these two people were Liu Ermei and Du Ping.

Liu Ermei is also very thin and wrinkled, but although her eyelids are drooping, she can see that her eyes are very large and her contours look delicate.

Susie looked at Du Ping carefully, and at first glance, she felt a sense of familiarity, she really looked a little like Mr. Du, and it was estimated that she was really Mr. Du's own son.

Liu Ermei and Du Ping also looked at Susie and Ruan Zhonghua, and Old Man Du pointed to the chair in the room, "Sit, I have something to tell you." ”

The two of them looked at Old Man Du's solemn expression, and they were a little nervous, and sat down uneasily.

Old man Du glanced at the closed door, and then whispered: "Yaoguang is not dead, he is still alive, and someone has come to us." ”

Du Ping's breath became short, and his chest fell together, "Where is he?" Where's my dad? ”

Liu Ermei next to her was stunned, her lips trembled, and she couldn't say a word.

Susie said slowly, "He's in Wudian." ”

Du Ping suddenly became angry, "Since he is alive, why has he not cared about our mother and son for so many years?" ”

Susie didn't speak, just looked at Dupin.

Old man Du coughed twice, "Listen to what you say, if you can come back, he will come back sooner." ”

"Even now, it's not easy for him to come back!"

Du Ping didn't know in his heart, but when he suddenly heard that his father was still alive, the grievances of so many years suddenly came up, "He can't come back, what's the use of looking for us!" ”

Susie silently took out two bundles of money from her bag, one to Du Lao Khan, and the other to Du Ping, "This is what Mr. Du asked me to give you, take the flowers first." ”
