Father Gong then remembered, "The old man is from Ningbo. He doesn't drink or smoke, but he loves to eat the three stinky things of Ningbo: stinky winter melon, stinky cauliflower, and stinky amaranth roots. There's a place to buy them in Beijing. You can buy some and take them to your uncle's house."
After sending Ruan Tang out, Father Gong repeatedly warned her, "Don't buy too much. Auntie doesn't want the old man to eat too much."
Ruan Tang followed the address on the paper and found that the address was actually on West Street, not far from the Women's Hospital.
Without asking which house it was, I just followed the stench and went into the alley, finding the one with the stinkiest smell.
What surprised Ruan Tang was that there were many elderly people sitting in front of the house chatting, and they were still speaking the Ningbo dialect.
Ruan Tang understood a few words and asked if she could exchange some for Sanchou.
The old people were very wary and refused to sell anything when they saw Ruan Tang.
Oh, how long has it been since she tasted this kind of taste that money can't buy.
Ruan Tang rolled up his sleeves, pulled over a small stool and discussed life with the old people, which made the old people stunned.
"Young comrade, you look quite like Lao Jiang. Are you also a doctor?"
Ruan Tang nodded and also gave a lecture on elderly care.
After talking until their mouths were dry, the elders finally recognized Ruan Tang.
After all, for those with evil intentions, it is impossible to spend several hours to educate them about the maintenance methods.
When the elders heard that Ruan Tang was from Shanghai, they immediately thought, "Does that mean she lives next door?" When an old neighbor comes to visit, shouldn't they greet him nicely?
So, I enthusiastically stuffed Ruan Tang with three jars of three stinky things. It didn't cost any money.
Even the jars are free.
Ruan Tang didn't like to take advantage of the old people, so when no one was paying attention, she left behind a Great Unity banknote and two food coupons.
When we got on the bus to Gong's house, it was time for dinner.
Except for Gong Zhi, all the members of the Gong family were present.
After dinner, Gong’s father went to the hospital to be on duty, and Gong Zheng and his wife took Ruan Tang to his uncle’s house.
Gong Zheng carried three jars along the way.
When they arrived at his uncle's house, he let Ruan Tang carry two cans by herself, and he helped with the other one.
As Gong's father said, the old man really loves Sanchou.
Seeing Ruan Tang coming in with three full jars, he looked at Ruan Tang with more enthusiasm than he looked at his own children and grandchildren.
The old man leaned on his cane and asked Ruan Tang, "Is Old Lady Qiu crazy? Why did she sell you so many stinky things?"
Ruan Tang shook her head, "I didn't spend any money, it was all given as a gift."
The old man was even more shocked, "Tell me quickly, what should we do? Why is Mrs. Qiu so generous?" He usually went there to buy the three kinds of smelly things, but Mrs. Qiu was very stingy and would only sell one catty at a time, or one catty for all three kinds of smelly things.
Ruan Tang thought for a moment and said, "Probably—personal charm."
The old man looked Ruan Tang up and down for a long time. Well, he admitted that he probably would never have personal charm in his lifetime.
The old man was also a sensible man. Seeing that Ruan Tang had given such a generous gift, he took him to the study.
"Tell me what you want from me."
Ruan Tang asked, "Do you know Zhan Yuji?"
The old man had a good memory. "Hasn't Ah Zhi been clamoring to go to the Zhan family to pick up his daughter recently? If I remember correctly, Zhan Shiji is the grandfather of Ah Zhi's girlfriend."
"What do you think of him?"
The old man was a straightforward person. "The Gong family has adopted you as their goddaughter, and I will also treat you as my own granddaughter. You don't have to hide anything when you speak to me. If I can help you, I will definitely do it."
The Gong family dotes on her very much. Since Gong's father allowed her to come to see the old man on her own, it means that in Gong's father's heart, the old man is the same as his own grandfather.
As for Sanchou, he was just a young man offering food to the old man as a filial piety.
After understanding the relationship, Ruan Tang did not hide anything and went on to tell her future intentions.
The old man also didn't expect that the Zhan family would enshrine Zhan Shiji's portrait in a dark room.
He thought about it again and again before he said, "After many secret missions were completed, I was the one who sorted out the files. After Zhan Shiji died, I was also the one who sorted out his files."
The old man picked the one who could speak: "I remember that the last time Zhan Shiji went on a mission was in Gancheng, and he was among the first group to go there. In order to complete this mission, his family was also stationed there. It should have a big gun, so why was it kept in a dark room where no one could see it?"
Ruan Tang didn't disturb the old man and let him think slowly.
The old man said with certainty: "There is no problem with Zhan Liji's file."
"Is there a doctor among Mr. Zhan's relatives and friends who is a devoted private doctor? Or a doctor who studies psychology?"
"How do you know?"
"I also know that the psychiatrist's surname is Zong. He became a military doctor on the recommendation of Zhan Shiji, specializing in post-war psychological counseling."
The old man nodded.
"How is that old man's medical skills? Can he perform clinical hypnosis on people?"
The old man shook his head. "There's nothing in the files. It only says that Elder Zong is a medical geek. He's almost obsessed with studying psychology."
Ruan Tang's heart beat faster and faster, and she felt that she was getting closer and closer to the truth.
After leaving my great uncle's house, Ruan Tangqi took me home.
In the early morning, Ji Nanfeng finally arrived.
Ruan Tang hurriedly told Ji Nanfeng the news of the investigation, "I suspect that it was Zhan Yuji who asked Elder Zong to perform clinical hypnosis on Minister Ji."
"I also checked, and there is another fellow disciple of the elder who is still alive."
As long as we find that fellow disciple, maybe we can help Minister Ji recover his memory.
In this vast sea of people, where can I find fellow disciples of the clan?
The two fell asleep in each other's arms. When Ruan Tang woke up the next day, Ji Nanfeng had already left.
There was no sound in the yard. Mother Ruan had taken the family and children to buy some goods. Knowing that Ruan Tang and his family would stay in Beijing for the holidays, Mother Ruan was so excited that she wrote several sheets of paper early in the morning to buy some goods.
Later, Ruan Zhou called and said that he would be able to go home after the wedding.
It was a rare occasion for the family to be reunited, so Ruan's mother naturally had to prepare early.
Ruan's mother also asked Ji Nanfeng to bring Grandma Ji to live with them, but Ji Nanfeng refused. Grandma Ji didn't even want to go to Hongyang County, so how could she be willing to come to Jing City?
Out of respect for his in-laws, Father Ruan personally called Provincial No. 1 during his lunch break and invited Grandma Ji to come over for the holiday.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Ji actually agreed! Aunt Xie and the other three also came together.
Father Ruan didn't think about it. He just asked out of politeness, and Grandma Ji agreed so casually!
He's in big trouble!
Grandma Ji doesn’t know that her son is still alive. If she sees that her son doesn’t recognize her, she will be so angry that she will faint, right?
