After dozens of long and difficult hours, Tian Cai finally arrived at the train station in Shishi at noon that day.

It was not too cold in He Province at the end of October, and it was noon and the sun was shining. Tian Cai had changed into cotton clothes as soon as he passed Su Province, and he did not feel uncomfortable at all when he got off the bus.

She got out of the car and couldn't help but look around. She had clearly stayed here for a few years with Grandpa Tian and Grandma Tian when she was a child, but now everything seemed very unfamiliar to her.

Tian Cai couldn't help laughing when she thought of this. How could she not be unfamiliar with him? It was obvious that Tian's father was not born at that time, and she would be nearly thirty years later.

Tian Cai followed the crowd out, and the familiar yet unfamiliar local accent filled her ears, making her want to cry.

Shi City was not her final destination. She also had to go to Cang City. After asking the people at the station, Tian Cai bought a new ticket and took another train, arriving at her destination at 4:30 in the afternoon.

After arriving at the place, Tian Caixian found a guesthouse near the station and booked a room with the letter of introduction he had.

After a night's rest, she got on the bus to Xian County early the next morning in high spirits. Perhaps it was the excitement of meeting Grandpa Tian that made her feel that the originally unpleasant smell of gasoline in the car had become different.

Tian Cai got out of the car and continued to ask people. She only remembered that Grandpa Tian's home was in a town under Xian County. She didn't know whether it was called Huaizhen or Huaizhen. She no longer remembered the name of Tianjiazhuang in that town or the name of the production team.

However, Tian Cai was lucky enough to get the answer after asking three people.

Aunt Wang had seen this little girl from the beginning, not for any other reason, but simply because she was too conspicuous in the crowd. Her dough was as white as the dumpling wrappers made from Fuqiang flour, without any other color.

Aunt Wang listened to what the girl was asking the person sitting next to her. She couldn't help but mutter a few words in her heart when she heard the girl's voice. The girl spoke with the same tone as a radio announcer, and her standard dialect was so good. These days, if you don't have a special job, no one would take the initiative to practice standard dialect.

After understanding what she was asking, Aunt Wang couldn't help but turn her head to take a look.

Tian Cai had no idea how many people had stared at him along the way, and had long been immune to the gazes of strangers. At this moment, he noticed a pair of gazes repeatedly falling on him. There was no malice in that gaze, just curiosity. Tian Cai turned his head and looked over, and met Aunt Wang who was looking at him again.

Seeing that the woman was an elderly lady with a kind face and neatly dressed, Tian Cai forced a smile and nodded at her.

Aunt Wang blushed for some reason and quickly turned around. After a while, she saw the little girl was still asking people about something. She couldn't help but turn around again, changed seats with the old man sitting behind her, and looked at Tian Cai on the other side. "Little girl, are you asking about Tianjiazhuang? Who are you looking for?"

When Tian Cai saw the old lady approaching, he guessed that she must know, and hurriedly said the reason he had prepared long ago with a smile, "My aunt married there, and I happened to be on vacation this time, so my parents asked me to come and visit. It's just that I haven't seen her in several years, and the only address she sent me at home is the one she sent me a letter about."

Aunt Wang suddenly understood. No wonder her daughter had a different accent. She put on a smile and said kindly, "If you're talking about Tianjiazhuang, I know it. My sister-in-law married there. What was the name of the man your aunt married?"

"I don't know either. My parents didn't tell me either. I only know his last name is Tian, ​​so I plan to ask around when I get to Tianjiazhuang."

"My dear, this is hard to find out. There are hundreds of people in Tianjiazhuang, and most of them are surnamed Tian," Aunt Wang said, slapping her thigh. "Tianjiazhuang, Tianjiazhuang, that's the old Tian family's base. It's said that all the members of the Tian family outside the fifth generation live there, and few have moved away in recent years."

Tian Cai was not worried about this. She remembered her grandparents' names clearly and would ask someone else when the time came. However, there was no need to let the aunt in front of her know. "I'll ask someone when I get to Tianjiazhuang!"

Aunt Wang started talking to Tian Cai, and her mouth was never idle during the whole journey. No one knew why she had so much to say. Tian Cai also wanted to know more about the situation here and was willing to cooperate. One of them spoke Henan dialect and the other Mandarin, and they had a lively chat. When they arrived in Huaizhen, Tian Cai had almost learned everything he wanted to know.

Because Aunt Wang was going to Dawangzhuang, which was not far from Tianjiazhuang, she could wait for the bus with Aunt Wang and they would separate when they were almost at the destination.

Tian Cai sat on the bumpy donkey cart, trying hard to suppress her suddenly accelerated heartbeat. She looked at the slightly familiar place and thought of Grandpa Tian who always responded to her requests. Her heart was filled with joy.

Suddenly, Tian Cai's attention was attracted by a group of young men who were walking towards him arm in arm.

The more she looked, the more familiar the tall, thin man with a shaved head in the middle seemed to her. Then Tian Cai suddenly remembered, isn't this what her grandfather looked like when he was young?

She had clearly seen it in the old photo album at home before. She even said something like, "Grandpa was so handsome when he was young!"

Tian Cai couldn't help but put on a big smile on his face, and his gaze on them became more and more intense.

Several young men also saw the donkey cart coming. When they looked up, they saw Tian Cai, who had dazzling white skin, on the cart. It was rare to see such a beautiful girl in the countryside, and they were all stunned.

Only Grandpa Tian looked up at Tian Cai and then turned away.

However, Tian Cai couldn't help but have tears in her eyes because of the look that Grandpa Tian gave her. She swallowed the word "Grandpa" back, as she was afraid that if she said it out loud, people would think she was crazy.

When they passed each other, Tian Cai got off the car early and followed him.

These people went to the nearby mountains to chop firewood. When they arrived, they scattered. However, the distance between them was not too far, so they could hear any shouting if anything happened.

Tian Cai had no plans to recognize Grandpa Tian. Even if she wanted to, it would be impossible. How would she tell him then that she was his granddaughter from decades later and had come to see him?

According to the timeline, her grandfather should be only 22 years old now and has no partner, let alone marriage, but he already has a girl he has a crush on.

Grandpa Tian thought of the relationship between Commander Yu and Grandma, and on a whim, he fabricated a new identity for himself. He said to the man who was working with his head down, "Comrade, can I ask you about someone?"

Tian Xuefeng looked up and saw that the person who spoke was the donkey cart girl he had just met. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. It was a long distance away from where he had just met the person. How did this girl follow him here? However, he didn't think a girl could do anything to him. "Who do you want to find out about?"

Tian Cai said something offensive in his heart, and then continued, "Excuse me, do you know Comrade Yang Shuqin?"

"Yang Shuqin?" Tian Xuefeng was stunned. Isn't that her mother's name?
