As soon as the words came out, Lin Guoye's whole person relaxed a lot.

Gao Mu didn't answer immediately, but picked up the newspaper and read the news carefully from beginning to end, then got up and said gently: "I have a friend who works at the police station, I asked him to ask, you go back and wait for the news first, and I'll tell you when I have a reply here." ”

Lin Guoye thanked him again and again, kept bowing to Gao Mu, and slowly withdrew from the office.

As soon as the person left, Gao Mu picked up the newspaper and read it carefully several times before dialing the landline.

It was already evening when Lin Guoye received the news from Yan Jianguo, and it happened that Gao Mu came over to inform him of some things.

Knowing that Yan Jianguo and Yan Zhong were fine, Lin Guoye and Yan Fei were overjoyed, one of them took out snacks and the other took out popcorn, and they had to invite their roommates to share it, saying that it was a celebration.

Yan Zhong didn't know that his thrifty younger brother also had such crazy times, he took a long-distance bus much faster than a train, and when he returned to his hometown, Yan Jianguo had not yet arrived in Fujian Province.

The village where the Yan family is located is a ravine, and the long-distance bus will be changed to a passenger car to sit back to the town, and then take a donkey cart from the town for a while.

The scorching sun, the dirt road covered with gray layers, mountain after mountain, as if he couldn't walk to the end, thinking of what Yan Jianguo said to let him go back to his hometown to sell things, Yan Zhong couldn't help but laugh bitterly, tightened the hemp bag behind him, he continued to walk forward with his head covered, and walked for almost an hour before arriving at the door of the house.

Pushing open the heavy gate, Yan Zhong shouted into the courtyard: "Daddy, daughter-in-law, I'm back!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a little girl about three years old rushed out, shouting her father excitedly, followed by Yan's mother Zhou Shuizhi, who was holding a little boy of more than a week in his arms and kept shouting: "Slow down, slow down."

Yan Zhong picked up his daughter and kissed her twice.

Zhou Shuizhi was also overjoyed to see his eldest son return safely, and said with a smile: "It's good to come back, I guess it's almost a day or two, if you don't come back tomorrow, I'll be really anxious!" ”

"Mother! It's not the first time I've gone far away, so there's no need to rush. As he spoke, he took his daughter around in a circle, and brought the child into the house before putting it down.

Zhou Shuizhi also put down his little grandson at this time, ran back to the yard to get Yan Zhong's luggage into the house, and asked, "Brother Ling, everything is going well over there!" ”

Yan Zhong nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I still have unexpected surprises in the past this time, my former comrade-in-arms, a good brother who was born and died, even sent his family to go to college over there, and he is in the same dormitory as Xiaofei, do you say it is fate." ”

"Really!" Zhou Shuizhi looked even more excited than Yan Zhong, "Have you caught up with others?" ”

"Mother, you know my temperament best, how could I let go of such a good opportunity, just for my brother, I stayed in Su Province for more than a day, of course, there are some important things I plan to discuss with you, and I will talk about it when my father and my daughter-in-law come back later." Yan Zhong was calm and was not in a hurry to tell Zhou Shuizhi about the matter.

However, Zhou Shuizhi was too happy because his eldest son came back, and he couldn't bear it for a while, so he ran to the field to call his wife and daughter-in-law back.

The moment she saw the man, Yan Zhong's daughter-in-law You Qiaofeng was so excited that her tears fell, and she didn't dare to say anything in front of her in-laws, so she hurriedly asked, "I'm hungry, I'll get you something to eat." ”

There are also some bud rice noodles and sorghum at home, which can be boiled paste.

Yan Zhong grabbed his daughter-in-law and asked her to sit down, "Don't be busy yet, I'm not hungry yet, there is some food in the bag, see if you can get it." ”

"What's that?" You Qiaofeng curiously rummaged through the sacks, took out a number of small sacks from them, wrapped them tightly, and opened them to see that they were white rice, white noodles, as well as some bacon and snacks, as well as two large boxes of tea, and the other bag contained several new clothes, all of which she had never seen, and the old clothes that Yan Zhong brought over were all pressed underneath.

Zhou Shuizhi and Yan's father, Yan Xizhou, were all stunned when they saw those things.

A group of people stared at Yan Zhong and asked, "You bought it?" ”

"How much does it cost!" You Qiaofeng was so distressed that she was about to cry.

Yan Zhong explained: "I didn't buy it, you don't know how much money I took out, where can I sell so many things!" ”

Everyone finally calmed down.

Zhou Shuizhi anxiously asked, "Then why did you get so many things back?" Not to mention anything else, this rice and white flour is not cheap, and we can only buy it here in the town. ”

"Mother, you have to go to the county seat to buy rice." You Qiaofeng added.

Her mother's home is close to the town, and she has been there a few times, so she still knows a lot about the things in the town.

"I have to go to the county!" Zhou Shuizhi's brows were about to twist into a ball, and he looked at his eldest son suspiciously.

Yan Zhong hurriedly told everyone about what he met Yan Jianguo, "My comrade-in-arms is doing business now, and the conditions are very good, because something happened in the provincial capital of Su Province, and the two of us stayed together for two nights, I guess he took advantage of my lack of attention to put it in."

At that time, I felt strange when I was ready to get on the bus, he found an excuse to break me away, and when I came back, he said that the luggage had been put on the car for me, and when I went to look, my luggage had been blocked so that I could not see, and I could only vaguely see the edge of the sack, anyway, I was not worried about the luggage on the bus, who knew that I got off the long-distance bus only to find that it contained so many things, and it was impossible to go back. ”

The crowd was dumbfounded.

Yan Xizhou muttered, "How rich do you have to be to send you so many things!" ”

Anything in this is a luxury for their family.

When Yan Zhong heard this, he lowered his eyes, his expression was serious, and he slowly spoke: "Dad, I discussed something with you, my brother told me, let me go to the south to work with him, and I can return my family to the past, do you think I will go?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and the room was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.

Yan Xizhou tugged at the corners of his mouth, and pretended to be happy and said, "Go, why don't you go!" If you have a way, can your father stop you? Your brother has gone to college, we don't have to worry about his future, you have been a soldier for so many years, it is too bad to stay with us!

Before, it was useless for my father and mother to find a way for you, but now it's rare for someone to pull you, don't miss it! ”

Zhou Shuizhi also came back to his senses at this time, secretly wiped his tears, and said, "Your father said to go, then go, but did people say what did they let you do?" How much money to give? ”

Yan Zhong bowed slightly, "Jianguo does his own business and wholesale, his daughter-in-law also has her own business, there is a shortage of people on both sides, the person who works on his daughter-in-law's side has a salary of fifty yuan a month, and he gives forty yuan a month, and the bonus at the end of the year is more, and he usually takes some small money."

He told me that when I went to the south, I could do things with them, and I could also take goods from him and sell them myself, in short, I liked to toss as much as I wanted, and he would not suffer a loss. ”
