"I don't know what kind of medicine this old man fed Cen Guoan just now, tsk tsk tsk, but it's better this way, we can't blame it on us!"
A man said gloatingly!
Cen Guoan finally caught his breath, and when he looked up, he saw his wife and daughter-in-law standing by his side, crying!
There was an old man sitting on the small stool on the other side!
Cen Guoan was sure he had never seen this person before. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Zhiye ask, "Old Cen, has your son written back to you recently?
My family has called and they will pick me up in a week!
I also asked them to find out about your family situation!
My son said your family’s situation isn’t serious, and you can just find someone to help you get back to the city!
Now it depends on whether you have any connections. Think about whether you know anyone.
Send a letter to your son and ask him to go out for a walk, and then we can go back to the city together?
If you don't have money, you can ask him to go find my child!"
Cen Guoan's mind was in a mess, but he was able to extract a few important points. The man in front of him knew his family situation. Seeing how confident he was, Cen Guoan had a moment of doubt. Could this really be his friend?
Lu Zhiye trembled his legs, slowly squatted beside Cen Guoan, and wrote three words on his palm!
Cen Guoan's eyes widened and he was trembling at the name!
During the years of being exiled, his edges have been smoothed out, and sometimes he even wishes he could die!
But looking at his young child, his immature son, and his wife who cried all day long, Cen Guoan knew that he had to become stronger.
Not only did he work and earn work points every day, but he also took his son to the mountains to dig Chinese medicinal herbs at night!
After drying, they sneaked to the city to exchange for money, which barely allowed several people to survive!
As more and more people returned to the city, he also started to have ideas!
However, Cen Guoan did not care whether he could go back or not, but wanted to get his two children back.
So he took out all his money and the things he had hidden in his old quilt, risked his life and went to the black market to exchange some money, and asked someone to send it to Beijing.
News came from there that only one spot can be given to return to the city!
It will take some time to vindicate him.
Cen Guoan sent several letters in a row, and they finally agreed to give him a place, with the option of bringing in one child!
Now the eldest is 15 years old and can barely be considered an adult. He can take the younger one back with him and ask someone to take care of him after returning to the city.
At least the two children can survive!
After Cen Guoan told his son the good news, Cen Lijun began to have ideas.
If he wanted this spot, he should have just said so. I'm sure the whole family would agree, leaving the eldest son in the countryside and letting Cen Guoan take his daughter back to the city.
However, what Cen Lijun did was unbearable for outsiders. He did not take any of the children with him, but took the quota back to the city himself!
Because of this, Cen Guoan fell seriously ill.
Since then, I have had serious health problems!
Now, when he suddenly heard the name of his old friend, Cen Guoan felt a little hope in his heart.
He covered his mouth and coughed twice, then tightly grasped Lu Zhiye's arm: "Did my son really inquire for me?"
Lu Zhiye smiled and said: "Of course not, this is what my baby said in person when he called!
You all misunderstood Lijun. He was afraid that he wouldn't have a good life after returning to the city, and he would suffer the hardship of running around with his children!
That’s why I didn’t bring the baby back to the city. I went to explore the way by myself first!
Look, I’ve found someone and am running around for you!
I guess there will be good news soon!"
After Lu Zhiye said this, he gasped for breath a few times, as if he was really an old man!
Lu Zhiye said these words not to curry favor with Cen Lijun, but to tell everyone that the Cen family has someone who can stand up, and as long as Cen Lijun finds that person, the Cen family can return to the city.
In this way, no one can target the Cen family.
The crutch on Lao Mo's neck has been removed, but he still feels like there is a knife hanging over his head!
I felt a surge of fear in my heart. If the old man in front of me had come a little later, and they had really done something bad to the Cen family's daughter-in-law, when the Cen family returned to the city, then...
Just thinking about it, Lao Mo felt his whole body shiver!
He gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground, and gradually moved in front of Cen Guoan: "Mr. Cen, I was just blinded by lard, don't argue with me!
Please don't take my faults to heart, don't bother with me!"
The other people who had come up with the idea also quickly came up to Cen Guoan and said, "Old Cen, we were just joking!
You you......."
It’s not that Cen Guoan doesn’t want to make a fuss, but what Lu Zhiye said was like a bubble of lies that burst at the first poke. The more he was involved with these people, the easier it would be to be exposed!
It would be better for the whole family to close the door and not contact the outside world!
He waved his hands with effort: "My wife and daughter are both frightened, it's reasonable..."
"I have another pound of flour. I'll give it to you right away!"
"I, I, I got two taels of sugar some time ago.
I'll give it to the child to sweeten his mouth!"
Several people ran into the house in a hurry. The dramatic scene made the people watching in the house open their eyes wide!
Some people whispered, "Is this old Cen family really going to be rehabilitated and return to the city?"
"Maybe. I heard that his family was implicated by the old man before. It's not a serious matter. If he asks someone, he should be able to go back!"
"Then why don't we build a good relationship with the old Cen family, and when they return, try to find someone for us?"
A woman murmured to herself that many people were implicated by their family members, and some families, young and old, were still sleeping in bed when they were pulled out!
There was simply no time to send the children away. It was winter, there were no quilts, and there was not enough food. Many of them froze to death or starved to death!
Now, the opportunity is right in front of us, and everyone’s eyes are burning with anticipation, like hungry wolves!
Cen Guoan asked the old lady to put away all the things, and then took his family into the house!
The door was closed, and he called Xiuping again, picked up the torn quilt, and blocked the gaps in the windows and door!
Then he lowered his voice and said, "Who are you?"
Lu Zhiye did not intend to reveal his identity: "Comrade Yan Wenqing arranged for me to come here, and she has no choice now. Everyone in the Meng family is watching her.
She has asked someone to use connections for you, so it's probably impossible for you to go back to Beijing.
You also know that there are too many people using connections, so it’s a bit chaotic over there!
But it is still possible to get you to a nearby city.
When the time comes, I will arrange a job for you to sweep the streets, and the family will be able to make ends meet.
Comrade Yan Wenqing will come up with a solution when the situation improves!"
