627, find someone
Early the next morning, Xia Ning and Song Shaoqin got into the special car they had booked last night and went to the surrounding Jin County.
The Song family they were looking for was in the village below the county seat, and when they arrived in the township, it was almost lunchtime, so they first found a restaurant to fill their stomachs, and then booked two rooms in the best hotel in the town.
It is not possible to apply for an ID card at home, and they will definitely have to stay here for one night, so it is necessary to finalize the night's accommodation in advance.
After lunch, Xia Ning let the driver move freely, and it was inconvenient for him to follow him on the next trip to the village.
This time, for the convenience of the trip, they directly booked a special car for three days, and they were also equipped with a driver who specialized in driving, which also saved them a lot of worry.
Fortunately, the existence of the family was near the township, and it took them more than ten or twenty minutes to walk to find it.
So they let the driver move freely, and the two of them went over by themselves, after all, what they wanted to do was not a glorious thing, and naturally the fewer people who knew it, the safer.
It is estimated that the development of the county where they are now is not very good, and the conditions and facilities in the township seem to be a little backward, as if they were still in the standard of living six or seven years ago.
The two of them inquired about the location of the Song family while walking, after all, the countryside is not an urban area, you can directly find the location by entering an address, the countrymen are scattered everywhere, and one door number is far away from the next, and it may not even be on the same line.
So, navigating the countryside is less useful than asking the locals verbally.
This will be a scorching sun, Song Shaoqin held an umbrella to block the sun for Xia Ning, fortunately, the distance is not too far, otherwise it would be a crime to walk for a while in such weather.
About twenty minutes later, the two of them stood smoothly at the gate of the Song family's courtyard.
But looking at the slightly dilapidated tiled house in front of her, Xia Ning was stunned.
She really didn't expect that in this era, there would be such dilapidated houses, although the development of this county is not as good as other counties, but along the way, the houses they have seen, the worst are the kind of cement bungalows that are built, and the better ones are two-story self-built buildings.
Unexpectedly, the family they were looking for, the living conditions were completely beyond their expectations, and at this glance, they knew that the family conditions were not very good, and this old house had an inexplicable feeling of incompatibility with the surrounding buildings.
Such brick houses gradually became less and less when she was in junior high school, and now more than ten years have passed, and people who can still live in this kind of house can imagine what the situation is like at home?
"You help me keep an eye on the surroundings, I'll get something." Xia Ning glanced around and whispered to her boyfriend.
Originally, they carried two bags of fruit in their hands, thinking that they would give gifts after the matter was completed, but now looking at the situation of the Song family they were looking for, they instantly felt that the things they were carrying were a little thin, and they were embarrassed to give them away.
Let's not talk about whether the deal between them can be reached, just for this fate, I should say a little more, not to mention, the two of them still have something to ask for, and it is good to leave a good impression.
"Okay." Without too much explanation, Song Shaoqin understood what his girlfriend meant, and hurriedly blocked her from watching the movements around her.
Xia Ning took out two cans of goat milk powder, two boxes of Chinese pastries, a box of American ginseng, and a bag of red dates from the porcelain basin space, she deliberately picked out some practical and not too expensive things, and these are gifts that are good for the body, and the elderly and children can eat them
Seeing that his girlfriend was ready, Song Shaoqin stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, and waited for a while before the door opened.
A middle-aged man with dark skin and a little sad looked at the two people outside the door suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, are you Song Zhiqiang?"
Song Shaoqin took the lead in politely asking.
The man was even more puzzled, "I'm Song Zhiqiang, do you have anything to do with me?"
Song Shaoqin said, "Is it convenient to enter the house and say? Don't worry, we have no ill intentions, and we just came to the door today to discuss one thing with you."
Song Zhiqiang was stunned, and finally turned his body sideways, "Then come in."
So, Xia Ning and Song Shaoqin walked into the brick yard with gifts, although the house is a little dilapidated from the outside, but the whole yard is well maintained.
"Just sit down, my family is in poor condition, and I don't have anything to pay attention to." Song Zhiqiang carried a long bench and placed it in front of the two of them, the countryside people don't pay attention to any single bench chairs, and most of the families have long benches like this.
"This is a little food we have prepared, and we hope to take it." Song Shaoqin put the gift on the table in the hall.
Song Zhiqiang kept a straight face, "Don't don't, we have no relatives and no reason, how can we accept your things and take them back!" We don't want it."
"Uncle Song, you can talk about this after we finish talking about the reason for coming to the door." Xia Ning stopped her voice, and when they made their purpose clear, the other party could accept it frankly.
"Okay." Song Zhiqiang couldn't figure out the intentions of the two, and he didn't want to talk about anything.
Xia Ning swept around the house, "Uncle Song, are you alone at home?"
There was such a big movement when they entered the door, and no one else came out, and it felt that the house was quiet.
Song Zhiqiang's face was dull, "At home, I and my mother are now."
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Xia Ning and Song Shaoqin no longer asked, but got down to business.
"Uncle Song, that's right, we saw your family's post on the family search website, and the next request we made may be a bit presumptuous, but please believe that we definitely don't have any malicious intentions, and it is also because of some unavoidable reason, so we have to do this."
Hearing these words, Song Zhiqiang became even more puzzled and uneasy in his heart, "What is the matter with you?"
"His name is Song Shaoqin, he is 23 years old this year, and his birthday is in October..." Xia Ning pointed to her boyfriend next to her, but found that the middle-aged man opposite had a bright eye, and immediately reacted that he was afraid that he was thinking about it, so he hurriedly explained.
"Ahem! Don't get me wrong, he has nothing to do with you, but we came here today to recognize your relationship."
"What do you mean?" Song Zhiqiang's eyes darkened, and his spirit visibly languished to the naked eye, what was it like to fall from heaven to the ground? That's it.
God knows how excited and anticipated he was when he heard that introduction just now, but in the end it was an empty joy for himself.
Also, after all these years, they should have gotten used to disappointment.
There are very few people who can get God's favor, and they don't have that good luck.
In the past ten years, in order to find their youngest son, their family has really suffered a lot, and the life of the family is even tighter, and they have to spend several months every year to go to various possible clue cities to find people, so that their family does not even have a deposit of 1,000 yuan until now.
The old father died of illness, the old mother was paralyzed in bed, and the eldest son dropped out of school early to work.
But as a result, they got a disappointed reality, he really didn't know how long their family could last, but if the youngest son didn't get it back, they always felt that a corner was missing in their hearts, and they felt uneasy.
