After getting on the bus, it was bumpy for nearly an hour, and the car was already far away from Yunhu City, and stopped next to a large lake, and Chen Fan got off the bus.

The wind blows the water waves, looking at the lake in the distance, you can only see the nearby waterfront, and there is still a blue wave in the distance, and you can't see the end at a glance.

He turned 360 degrees, looked around, and then walked in a direction.

After a while, I walked through a small forest and saw a small village.

Before he could get close to the house at the entrance of the village, two dogs ran out and barked at him.

Chen Fan looked at them twice and stood still. After waiting for another two seconds, two children ran out of the room.

One looks like he is 7 or 8 years old, and the other is only 4 or 5 years old, and his clothes are dangling on his body, obviously not fitting well. As soon as the two of them came out, the two dogs closed their mouths, ran to their feet and sat down, flicking their tails and staring at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan took a few steps forward, walked up to them, and asked with a smile, "Little brother, is it okay to ask you about something?" ”

It seemed that Chen Fan's attitude made the older child very useful, and he immediately raised his head and said, "Mr. Li said, learn from Lei Feng's good example, you just ask, and tell you everything I know." What are you going to inquire about? ”

Chen Fan smiled and asked, "Is this Huangjiawan?" ”

Huangjiawan is the village where Chen Fan's mother grew up before he crossed the river, and this piece is close to Yunhu Lake,...... This cloud lake is not the cloud lake of Yunhu City, but the big lake next to it, and Yunhu City is also named after it.

Around Yunhu, there are more than a dozen villages, or production teams, large and small. Because of its proximity to the water, most of them are named after their surnames, so the names of the villages are similar.

For example, Huangjiawan, Lijiazhuang, Wangjiazui, Chenjiayuan、......, you can see from the name of these villages from the distance from the lake.

On the first day he came here, Chen Fan thought about finding the place where his parents lived when they were children.

The last time he came to the local party committee, because he was accompanied by Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang, he didn't come to look for it, and he happened to see the name of the bus stop in Huangjiawan on the bus stop today, so he took the bus to find it.

At this time, he was full of apprehension, not knowing if he could find his grandparents and his mother's family.

As for what would happen when he found it, he hadn't thought about it yet.

When the kid heard Chen Fan's words, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, this is Huangjiawan, who are you looking for?" ”

Chen Fan gritted his teeth lightly and continued to ask with a smile, "Is there a person named Huang Jiawen in your team?" ”

"Huang Jiawen?"

The child looked up at the sky, his face was full of confusion, who?

When Chen Fan saw it, his heart suddenly understood. Well, he certainly doesn't know.

How many children know the names of adults? It's not all the three uncles and the four uncles shouting like that.

At this time, an old lady walked out slowly with small steps, "Three boys, who is it?" ”

The kid immediately turned his head and shouted, "Grandma, someone is looking for someone, is there anyone in our team named Huang Jiawen?" ”

The old lady walked over slowly, looked Chen Fan up and down a few times, and then said, "Are you looking for Huang Jiawen?" ”

Chen Fan nodded immediately, his heart was pounding, "Yes, Huang Jiawen, his lover's name is Shen Changxiu, and he has a daughter named Huang Aiping, is he here?" ”

The old lady immediately shook her head, "That's not it." ”

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, and it took a few seconds before he reacted and looked at her in surprise, "No?" ”

Are you kidding?

As soon as the old lady came out, he recognized it, and according to the name he used to call when he was a child, he had to call out to his aunt.

Actually, it's not relatives at all.

It's just that in this part of Yunhu, in the same village, the children between various families are called adults, and they are all shouted by Zhang's father and Li's mother to show their closeness, and they have nothing to do with whether they are relatives or not.

If there are too many people with the same surname, call them according to the name of their relatives.

It wasn't until more than 20 years later that no one shouted like this anymore, the men were all called uncles, and all the women were called aunts.

That's how the aunt came, but at that time she didn't live in this brick house at the entrance of the village, but in a small two-story building a little further inside.

As for the kid who talked to him just now, if he is not mistaken, it should be Huang Sanbo, who is very good at raising dogs and training dogs, and later opened a dog village.

The little kid who is still bare-bottomed should be Uncle Huang Jiu, who has become a contractor and bought a house in the provincial capital to settle down?

Everyone can be right, and the place is not wrong, my grandfather's family has been from this village for generations, how can there be none?

The old lady looked at Chen Fan and said, "If you want to talk about Huang Jiawen, there are three of them in our team, one is called Huang Jiawen, Wenwen, one is called Huang Jiawen, and the other is Huang Jiawen, and there is Wen Wen under the prefix of the word rain, but their wives are not called Shen Changxiu, and they all have sons, and they don't have daughters." ”

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, no?

He was stunned for a few seconds before he came back to his senses, his face full of disappointment, "Oh, the one I was looking for is the boil next to the word fire, that may be my misremember." ”

The old lady smiled, "We have more than a dozen production teams here, most of them have similar names, it's normal to remember wrongly, or go to other teams to ask, it's not only Huangjiawan who has the surname Huang, other teams also have." ”

Chen Fan nodded slowly, squeezing out a little smile on his face, "Okay, I'll go take a look elsewhere, that, thank you." ”

The old lady waved her hand, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Coming out of Huangjiawan, Chen Fan walked to the bus stop, which was just the bus stop for the return trip, and stood there in a daze.

When the bus came, he got on the bus reluctantly.

But he didn't give up.

Half an hour later, the car entered the city, changed trains again, and got off the bus next to a factory.

Another inquiry.

Well, my father's family didn't have any.

No one else and anything else in this world has changed, only his parents and two families are gone?

After figuring out the situation, Chen Fan, who came back to his senses, felt that only one reason could be used to explain it.

Quantum mechanics!

According to the serious theory of quantum mechanics, there are countless different or similar parallel worlds in the universe, and some of these parallel worlds are very different, while some worlds may only have insignificant differences, or they themselves are in a very similar parallel world.

He sat on the side of the road for more than half an hour, and it was not until the factory workers got off work in the morning and the endless crowd passed in front of him that he came to his senses.

It seems that I have really crossed over!

Rubbing his face vigorously with both hands, Chen Fan stood up and looked left and right, then looked at the bus stop sign, waited for a bus to come, stepped on the bus, and slowly walked in another direction.

……

This time it was not far away, and ten minutes later, I got off the bus in front of a Xinhua bookstore.

Continue to walk forward, turn right at the first intersection, and walk a little way, here is the supply and marketing cooperatives store where Jiang Tiantian works.

Chen Fan walked to the door and glanced inside, but Jiang Tiantian was the only one there.

At this time, there was not a single customer in the sales department, Jiang Tiantian sat alone in the corner of the counter in a daze, her eyes were scattered and her expression was dull, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Chen Fan walked in, came to her, bent down to look at her, and didn't say a word.

After a few seconds, Jiang Tiantian felt that there seemed to be someone in front of him, woke up suddenly, and quickly got up and stood up.

She was about to speak, and when she saw clearly that the person in front of her was Chen Fan, she was stunned, and she looked left and right, and blinked again, as if she was wondering if she was dreaming?

Seeing her appearance, Chen Fan straightened up and couldn't help laughing, "What's the matter, I haven't seen you for more than two months, I don't know each other?" ”

The last time I left the prefectural committee was at the end of May, and today is August 19th, less than three months later.

Jiang Tiantian reacted at this time, two flashes of red appeared on her fair face, her eyes flashed, and she was a little incredulous, "Why are you here?" ”

As soon as the words came out, she felt that it was not good to say this, and quickly said, "I mean, when did you come?" ”

Chen Fan smiled, "Just arrived." ”

He shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, "Look, the luggage hasn't been put down yet." ”

Jiang Tiantian finally calmed down at this time, opened the horizontal counter and walked out, and said with a smile, "You shouldn't have eaten yet, right?" ”

Seeing Chen Fan nodding in confirmation, she continued, "There is a restaurant at the corner of the street, you go there to rest first, the two colleagues who work with me have gone home to eat, and they will come back immediately, and when they come back, I will go to find you, let's eat first, and then I will take you to the guest house to live." ”

Chen Fan nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait for you over there." ”

Then he waved his hand and smiled, turned around and walked out.

Jiang Tiantian kept sending him out of the door, watching him go away, and it took a while to come back to his senses, first looked at the sparse pedestrians on the road, and saw that no one paid attention to him, so he turned around and entered the store.

Chen Fan walked quickly to the corner of the street, it was easy to see a small restaurant, pushed the door in and glanced twice, and found that there were 9 Eight Immortal Tables inside, each table was equipped with four benches, and the configuration was no different from the state-owned hotel in Nanhu Town, obviously this should be a small restaurant managed by the Street Food Company.

Although it was noon, there were only two tables in the restaurant, and the other seats were empty.

Chen Fan walked to the counter and looked up at the small wooden board hanging on the wall, which said that there was today's menu.

(A la carte)

These small restaurants usually have "hang-up" menus, some of which are wooden signs, and some of which are written on a small blackboard.

There are also menus in the form of paper and even picture albums, but they are generally in high-end places, such as the Capital Hotel, Lao Mo, or the Jin Jiang Hotel in Shanghai, or the game restaurants in the provincial capital, which are basically "external" places with different grades.

Eating there is also a first-order and payment after eating, which is no different from the later generations.

It's not good here, look at the menu on the wall, and immediately pay the bill after ordering, if you don't give money, you won't have anything to eat.

Some places even have to go to the food and serve it themselves.

However, Chen Fan saw a waiter carrying a tray to serve food, and it seemed that there was no need to do it himself.

He didn't know how long it would take Jiang Tiantian to come, so he ordered a more time-consuming dish, red stewed chicken in a casserole, and a fresh green vegetable that could go down to the casserole was only 5 cents more. I asked for a plate of salt-and-pepper soybeans, a plate of cold cucumbers, and a bottle of Yunhu Daqu, and then paid for the bill.

There was no one sitting in the corner by the window, so he took the wine bottle and sat down, put his backpack on the bench against the wall, and as soon as he unscrewed the cap, the waiter came over with two plates of cold dishes and a wine bowl on a tray.

drank cold dishes, and after drinking for more than ten minutes, Jiang Tiantian hurriedly walked into the restaurant.

At first glance, she saw Chen Fan pouring himself a drink in the corner, and immediately took a deep breath and walked over steadily.

Chen Fan also raised his hand for the first time and said hello, "Here." ”

Jiang Tiantian pulled out the bench and sat on his left-hand side, glanced at the wine bottle that was already half empty, and couldn't help frowning slightly, but she didn't say anything, just looked at Chen Fan and smiled, "Did you order, I didn't order." ”

Chen Fan put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "It's ordered, it should be coming up soon." ”

He turned his head to look at the window of the back kitchen, "I ordered the red stewed chicken in the casserole, and added a plate of green vegetables to it." ”

Then he looked at Jiang Tiantian, "Do you like to eat?" Do you want to order another individual. ”

Jiang Tiantian smiled and nodded, "No, this is enough." Who doesn't love chicken? ”

She pursed her lips and looked at Chen Fan with a smile, "Is there something you want to do this time?" Is there anything I need to help with? ”

Chen Fan laughed, shook his head and said, "That's not it." Didn't I tell you last time, Lujiawan raised a lot of chickens, ducks and geese, and this time I came here mainly to find a market for these live birds. ”

Jiang Tiantian nodded lightly, "Oh, it turned out to be this." ”

She rolled her eyes slightly, and asked with a little curiosity, "You're the only one here?" ”

He didn't even put down his luggage, and there was no one else around, so it was clear that he was the only one who came over. Could it be that Lu Jiawan is so relieved that he is an outsider, and let him be responsible for such an important matter?

Chen Fan said with a smile, "It's just looking for a market, I still have a little relationship with the health department, I can do it alone, no matter how many people come, it won't make any difference, but it will cost an extra expense, so they let me come by myself." ”

Jiang Tiantian pursed her lips and said with a smile, "That's also your ability, if you change to someone else, you may not be able to do it." ”

After a pause, she whispered with a little hesitation, "I think you seem to be a little worried, are you worried about whether it will sell well?" ”

Chen Fan's eyebrows raised slightly, is he so obvious?

Then he shook his head and smiled, "No, in addition to this matter, I also want to go to Jiangnan University's correspondence point in Yunhu to apply for their correspondence class, I just think about whether their exam is good or not, in case I can't pass the exam, then it will be in vain." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Tiantian instinctively felt that he was not telling the truth.

Although she and Chen Fan have only met twice, Chen Fan gave her a very optimistic feeling, if it was just this little thing, most of them would not be taken to heart.

If he was a person who cared about his education and future, he should have accepted the invitation of the Ministry of Health last time, instead of insisting on returning to Lujiawan.

But who doesn't have a little secret, since he refuses to say, then she won't ask more, just smiled and said, "I just learned today that Jiangnan University still has a correspondence program here with us, otherwise I would have thought about signing up." However, after putting down the textbook for several years, I almost forgot all the things I learned before, and even if I wanted to report, I was powerless.

You are different, I see Lili said in the letter, you are not only teaching them basic knowledge, but also opening a study class in the production team to train teachers for the village school, and when these teachers are successful, they will expand the scale of the village school, and in the future, they will not only run a high school, but also a junior high school.

You can train teachers, your knowledge base must be very good, it's just a correspondence entrance exam, it's definitely no problem. ”

Chen Fan snorted, "Thank you for auspicious words, it's best to pass it once." ”

At this time, the waiter came over with a tray, and the two of them shut up in unison.

First put on a charcoal stove, then a large casserole, and finally put a plate of green vegetables piled high on the table, and then walked away with a tray, without saying a word from beginning to end.

Watching the waiter leave, Chen Fan smiled and said, "Come on." ”

Jiang Tiantian lifted the chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of chicken for him, and said with a smile, "It's a guest from afar, you eat first." ”

Chen Fan was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and went to pick up the dishes, "Let's not come and go politely, let's be casual." ”

Jiang Tiantian smiled and nodded, "It's okay." ”

At this time, the waiter came over again, threw down two large bowls of rice, and flashed again.

Jiang Tiantian looked at the big bowl of rice piled high, and her eyes suddenly froze. I'm afraid there's not half a catty of rice, right?

The few taels of rice in this year are not calculated according to cooked rice in the canteen in later generations, but according to raw rice, Chen Fan just asked for a pound of rice, and it was a pound of rice when cooked, and then the waiter directly served them two large bowls, and then Jiang Tiantian was stunned.

As soon as Chen Fan saw her appearance, he knew a lot, so he pushed his rice bowl over, "Na, give me what you can't eat." ”

Jiang Tiantian turned her head to look at him, blinked her eyes, and when she reacted, she immediately smiled, "Okay." ”

immediately picked nearly half a bowl of rice and divided it, and directly piled the other bowl into a round ball.

Chen Fan moved the bowl back, lifted the chopsticks and said, "Let's eat." ”

Then he hugged the rice bowl and began to dry the rice.

Seeing Chen Fan gobbling up, Jiang Tiantian couldn't help but smile, and then ate slowly.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Waiting until Chen Fan finished a large bowl of rice, he straightened his waist, exhaled a long breath, and then lifted the wine bottle and poured a bowl of wine, intending to drink it slowly.

At this time, Jiang Tiantian saw his appearance, and couldn't help but have his eyes rolling, and then said to him, "Pour me some too." ”

Chen Fan turned his head and glanced at her, just wanted to say that you also drink?

When the words came to his mouth, he swallowed back, got up directly and walked to the dish, asked the master inside for a wine bowl, turned it back and put it in front of Jiang Tiantian, and poured half a bowl for her, and said with a smile, "You still have to go to work in the afternoon, drink less." ”

Jiang Tiantian smiled, "I took half a day off, so I don't have to go over in the afternoon." ”

Well?

Chen Fan looked at her strangely, what do you mean? Too little?

However, Jiang Tiantian didn't ask for more, just picked up the wine bowl, held it up in front of him, and said with a smile, "I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and toast you." ”

Chen Fan touched her with a wine bowl, "What about the head?" ”

Jiang Tiantian took a breath and said with a smile, "Welcome to Yunhu." ”

Chen Fan laughed and said, "This reason is good, you must drink it." ”
