After hearing this, Chen Qiming, without even finishing his meal, silently went to his study and took out a diary.
This diary records his donations to mountainous areas over the years.
Chen Qiming flipped through the diary and unexpectedly found an inconspicuous name.
[On April 14, 1968, while searching for my daughter, I passed through a village called Lianhua Village, a very backward little mountain village.]
Chen Qiming was taken aback; he himself had no recollection of donating to Lianhua Village.
He continued to flip through his diary, which clearly recorded why he chose to donate to Lianhua Village at that time.
On April 14, 1968, he donated 100,000 yuan to Lianhua Village to repair roads. The land here is very fertile, and if grain is produced, the yield will definitely be very high!
I met a Party Secretary here, surnamed Li, who has been staying in this village for many years. I asked him why he stayed in this village, and he said it was for the country, for the people, and for the children of this village.
What he said impressed me, and I wanted to get his contact information. He smiled shyly and told me he didn't have a phone.
I wondered, didn't the whole village have a phone booth?
The Party Secretary told me, "Yes, there are no phone booths in their village; you have to climb over that mountain to get out."
I followed him up that mountain. The mountain paths were all made by people walking on them. When I reached the halfway point, I couldn't help but look down.
That one glance almost scared my heart out!
This mountain is so steep, yet they often have to cross it to reach the road.
The children in this village have to cross this mountain to go to a more distant place to study.
After learning about the village's situation, I didn't hesitate to donate money to help them repair the road.
...
Chen Qiming burst into tears. It turned out that he and his daughter were just a hair's breadth away from meeting!
At the same time, he felt increasingly distressed.
He himself has made the village better and better, and now it is a small town and an "advanced production team".
But his daughter did not find happiness after marrying into this town.
Chen Qiming found that he had no contact information, so he called a friend and got the phone number of the secretary of the Lianhua Town Neighborhood Committee. He then made the call directly.
"Hey, Old Li? It's me, Chen Qiming. Is there a guy named Ding Haowen in your town?"
Old Li was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening when he suddenly received a call from Chen Qiming.
"Chen Qiming? Is that you?" He asked excitedly. "It seems like there is such a person."
These days, if a place produces a capable person, almost every household knows it.
Old Li is the Party Secretary of Lianhua Town. He would visit the homes of outstanding individuals in the town, and he vaguely remembered the name Ding Haowen.
Chen Qiming snorted coldly, "Old Li, I remember the town had a very good peanut yield last year, so we got the title of advanced production team. Whether we can get it this year, I don't know!"
Old Li was suddenly awakened from his dream.
"Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that?"
The soil in Lianhua Town is very suitable for growing peanuts, and the peanuts produced every year are large, sweet and plump!
Lianhua Town was originally a backward village. It was only through Chen Qiming's quiet donations to build roads over the years that Lianhua Town was able to develop rapidly.
Old Li had always remembered Chen Qiming! Now, upon hearing Chen Qiming's words, he immediately became anxious.
Chen Qiming sighed, "Old Li, I'll just say what I mean. Back then, I donated a lot of money to various mountainous areas to build roads for many villages, including Lianhua Village, you remember?"
Old Li quickly replied, "I remember! Mr. Chen, if it weren't for your 100,000 yuan to build roads in Lianhua Village, there wouldn't be the Lianhua Town we know today."
Chen Qiming laughed, "I can't actually remember the names of many villages, but that's what I did! Maybe it's some kind of guidance from heaven!"
"Until this year, I found my biological daughter in Lianhua Town. I have also witnessed the development of Lianhua Town over the years."
Old Li was a little confused when Chen Qiming said these things, but he still listened patiently.
“My daughter married Ding Haowen, but not only did he cheat on her, he also let my daughter raise the child of his mistress. Now he harasses women from time to time. What kind of behavior is this?”
Upon hearing this, Old Li exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Chen, is there such a thing? Don't worry! I will never allow anyone in our village to bring shame upon it!"
Chen Qiming nodded and hung up the phone.
He flipped through his diary and found that it contained many records of the things he had done at the time.
Chen Qiming thought for a moment, then picked up his diary and went downstairs.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Chen Jiayi standing at the door with a rice bowl in her hand.
Chen Jiayi gave a sweet smile.
"Dad, I saw you came upstairs before you finished eating, so I made you some extra food. Try it."
Chen Qiming was taken aback, and then his eyes reddened.
"Thank you, daughter!"
He handed the thick diary in his hand to Chen Jiayi.
"This is one of the diaries that Dad wrote when he was doing business all over the place. You can take a look at it; it might give you a different perspective."
Chen Jiayi took the diary in surprise. She flipped through it and paused when she saw the name Lotus Village.
"Dad, you donated to Lianhua Village before?"
Chen Qiming nodded. "Yes."
Chen Jiayi suddenly recalled the vague memories in her mind.
Originally, Lianhua Village was just as backward as Chenjia Village, she heard from the adults at that time.
Lianhua Village was lucky; they met a very kind person who gave them 100,000 yuan.
