Back in the house, Xiao Qiang lost the wooden appearance he had with the girl before, picked a big bowl of noodles in his bowl, added some meat foam toppings, and pulled the noodles into his mouth in a big gulp.

Ai Meifeng opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything after all, gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sat on the kang silently, seeing that her son was just eating noodles and a few meat dishes were motionless, so she picked a large piece of hoof with oil and skin and put it in his bowl.

Today is a blind date arranged for his son Xiao Qiang, the conditions of their family are very bad, their daughter was abducted, Chang Juemin has been looking for a daughter for 26 years, and there is basically no stable income, plus it is not easy to live outside, and often have to be subsidized by Ai Meifeng, relatives and friends are also a butt of debts, plus there is a son to support, in order to make more money, Ai Meifeng retired from the supply and marketing cooperatives early, and worked three jobs a day.

Ai Meifeng felt that she was not only sorry for her daughter, but also for her son.

Xiao Qiang was admitted to the university at the beginning, although it was not the focus of 985 or 211, but it was also a book, which was already a pretty good way out in the poor small county town of Tianzhen.

But because he couldn't afford it financially, Xiao Qiang finally took the initiative to give up the opportunity to go to college, no matter how Ai Meifeng persuaded him, he couldn't make Xiao Qiang change his decision, for Xiao Qiang's studies, Chang Juemin, who had been outside, also went home, but in addition to the family hugging together and crying, Xiao Qiang still entered an auto repair shop near his home as an apprentice.

But Xiao Qiang entered the society ahead of schedule, and did not reduce the burden on the already heavy family, Tianzhen is an underdeveloped city, although Xiao Qiang worked hard to learn crafts and learn new technologies, he was not able to make much money in this poor county.

Pressure and sensibility made the originally high-spirited teenager become more and more reticent, and poverty and low self-esteem also made him less and less inclined to contact with others.

They haven't seen any oil and water at home for a long time, let alone oil and water, because the weather is cold, even the price of vegetables is rising, they rarely even buy fresh vegetables, most of the time it is pickles with noodles and rice to deal with the past meal.

Even today's hooves were bought by Xiao Qiang with an advance salary, otherwise I am afraid that I would not be able to afford such a table and it would not be considered a sumptuous meal.

And today's meal is a blind date arranged for Xiao Qiang, who is already thirty-four years old.

The object of the blind date is called Feng Cuicui, not a stranger, a girl from the next village, and Xiao Qiang's high school classmate, although he has been divorced once before, but he has no children, and his personality is not bad.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a result in the end.

"Mom, you eat, you eat more."

Xiao Qiang put the meat back into Ai Meifeng's bowl, snorted and ate the noodles in his bowl, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, chewed the noodles in his mouth, and took out a thin stack of money from his pocket and put it in front of Ai Meifeng:

"When I was looking for the boss to pay the money, I happened to meet my master, this is given by my master, there are eight hundred yuan, I don't want it, he said that everything will be stuffed to me, and said that if I don't take it, I won't recognize me as an apprentice in the future, my father has just settled in the ancient city, and it is the time to use the money, you transfer it to my father, how much can it come in handy."

"Xiaoqiang, what the hell do you think?"

Ai Meifeng looked at the money on the table and didn't move, but her tears couldn't stop flowing:

"Cuicui, this girl, although she has been divorced, but her mother looks really good, she is a person who can live a good life, she doesn't cherish the one in front of her, but you have to cherish it, our family's conditions, can't find any golden phoenix, it's your parents who have dragged you down, not to mention that you can't marry a daughter-in-law, and you want to be a son-in-law, mom and your dad have also thought about it, as long as you and Cuicui can live a good life, mom and dad will give you a certificate, let's break off the relationship, and the family's expenses in the future, whether it's debt, it has nothing to do with you."

The more sensible Xiao Qiang became, the more distressed Ai Meifeng became, obviously a good college student, but he was dragged down by his family and fell to this point.

"Mom, what are you talking about!"

Xiao Qiang heard his mother even say the words of breaking off the relationship, and put the chopsticks that picked the noodles on the table heavily, but seeing his mother's grief-stricken appearance, he sighed softly, and then picked noodles into his bowl, and said calmly:

"Don't worry about me, Cuicui is a good girl, I know, but I also know what conditions I am, the better the girl, the more I don't want to delay others, the most important thing at the moment is to find my sister, as long as I can find my sister, even if I don't get married for the rest of my life, I am willing."

Luo Qun followed the navigation and turned the car into a dilapidated village, but before he could drive in, the narrower and narrower road could not allow the car to continue to pass, so he had no choice but to find a relatively spacious place and stop the car.

Luo Qun got out of the car, took out a cigarette and lit one, and looked around, the doors of the courtyards were closed, and there was no one in sight, desolate and quiet.

He looked at the address written on the note in his hand, took his mobile phone to navigate and compared, went around to the co-pilot's side and knocked on the window, waking up Dingjun Mountain, who was sleeping.

In order to go back early, they finally chose to take turns driving overnight, nearly two days away, only slept in a service area for a few hours, and after arriving in Tianzhen County, they couldn't take care of rest, and went straight to Chang Juemin's old unit, Tianzhen County Tax Office, to inquire about the news of Chang Juemin's family.

But after so many years, Chang Juemin's original retirement, the transfer of those who had already retired, and the transfer of those who were transferred, took a lot of effort to find someone who had a little connection with Chang Juemin, from that person's mouth, it was basically determined that Chang Juemin did not lie to Luo Qun, and after learning that the situation in Chang Juemin's house was far worse than Luo Qun imagined, Luo Qun immediately helped Chang Juemin return the 3,000 yuan he borrowed from this person, and also got the address of Chang Juemin's house.

Dingjunshan has been a soldier, has his own method of resting, is extremely efficient, and when he gets off the car, he is already in good spirits, which is in stark contrast to Luo Qun who is full of fatigue.

"Whew, it's so cold in this place."

Ding Junshan exhaled a breath of cold air, tightened the clothes on his body, and took the cigarette handed by Luo Qun:

"Are you sure it's here? It looks like a deserted village, so don't get it wrong. ”

"It's also the fault of the navigation, it's not a matter of Lao Tzu's, and it's not once or twice that the map is wrong for lack of morality." Luo Qun took two puffs of the cigarette in his hand, and as he was talking, he saw an old lady and a woman coming out of the village:

"Someone is someone, it's not a deserted village, it shouldn't be wrong, I'll go up and ask."

"Cuicui, it stands to reason that your family's conditions are much better than Xiaoqiang's, Xiaoqiang found you and he climbed high, but you listen to Auntie, Meifeng is a good person, the child she raised, can't be wrong, the family is like this, change someone else, run away early, and it's him, a stupid little sister who makes money."

As she spoke, Aunt Sun took out a pack of red camellia cigarettes from her pocket, which were rarely available anywhere, and took one out and put it in her mouth.

The north is bitter cold, and the labor is heavy, so many women of the older generation will smoke when they are young to keep out the cold and relieve fatigue, especially in the northeast, there are not a few people who smoke cigarette bags and pots directly, and this Aunt Sun also has the habit of smoking.

The wind is a little strong, and the cheap lighter that is not windproof, Aunt Sun has failed to light the cigarette in her mouth after hitting it several times.

"I know Aunt Sun."

Feng Cuicui blocked the wind for Aunt Sun, lit the cigarette, and said with a somewhat lost expression:

"Xiaoqiang is a good person, I have always liked him, I thought that he would be very happy when I went to his house, but he ignored me and didn't even want to say a word to me."

"Xiaoqiang, this kid is bitter."

Aunt Sun spat out a cigarette, sighed and said:

"Auntie wants to persuade you, but you also know the conditions of their family, if you go you can't enjoy it, although Auntie wants to help Meifeng, but she can't pit you, if Xiaoqiang is willing to go to your house to be a son-in-law, then Aunt is definitely 10,000 support, Meifeng is a strong one, after Xiaoqiang goes, she will definitely not trouble you in the past, you two will live a good life, if Xiaoqiang is unwilling, then Auntie still thinks, Cuicui You should think about it, this is a lifetime thing, you have missed it once, I can still go back a few times, but the hard days are not so easy. ”

"I know."

Feng Cuicui lowered her head and kicked the stones under her feet.

At this time, a sudden shout from not far away startled her, she looked up, only to see a black high-end car that is not common in Tianzhen County parked not far away, a man was rubbing his hands and walking towards them quickly, and a tall and strong man was leaning on the car, smoking a cigarette and looking this way.

Feng Cuicui has not seen the world, she knows that the car logo is Audi's car logo, but she has indeed never seen Audi have this kind of model, like an off-road vehicle, but it is smaller than an off-road vehicle, and the lines are softer, so it should not be a cheap car.

"This beauty, aunt, I want to ask you about something, is there a resident in this village named Chang Juemin, we are his friends, I happened to come to Jinxi for something, so I came to his house to have a look."

Two men dressed incompatible with the village drove a car that was incompatible with the village, which made Feng Cuicui immediately a little alert, put her hand in her pocket, and nervously pinched the mobile phone in her pocket, planning to call the police immediately if the situation was not right.

Aunt Sun didn't think about it so much, whether it was robbing money or sex, they didn't have it, and in broad daylight, no one would have to go all the way to bully people in such a small village.

She just looked at the young Luo Qun with some suspicion and asked:

"Juemin is in his fifties, young man, you don't look at thirty, are you?"

As soon as he heard Aunt Sun's words, Luo Qun knew that he had found the right place, and his hard work with Brother Shan was not in vain, so he laughed immediately, and saw that Aunt Sun was also a smoker, so he immediately took out two cigarettes and scattered them, and Feng Cuicui put one in his mouth after refusing.

"I'm Uncle Chang's boss, and I'm also a friend, the kind of friend who forgets the year, and now Uncle Chang is working for me, I happened to come here on a business trip this time, and I was entrusted by him to come to the house to see if there is anything I need help with, and take care of it."
