As expected, the woman's face changed drastically. She was silent for a long while, and her expression changed again and again.
Then he smiled and said to Lu Zhiye: "Hey, why are you here?
Come on, come on, come in, what's the matter? If you didn't tell me you were here to deliver the letter, your aunt wouldn't let you in, right?"
As she spoke, she opened the door and welcomed the person in.
There were two other families squatting in the yard washing vegetables. When they saw her bringing someone over, they looked at Lu Zhiye curiously.
"Cui Fen, who is this? Why did I just hear that she was delivering a letter?
Who is it for? Is there any letter for my family?"
An auntie with pigtails smiled and put the vegetables in her hand into the enamel basin.
They stood up and were about to come over, but Sun Cuifen quickly waved her hand to stop them, saying, "This is my nephew from my mother's side. A few days ago, I wanted to use the relationship with our old Chen to find him a job.
You all know how hard it is to find a job nowadays. It is not easy to find just one job for every person.
I was thinking of replying to them two days later, but who knew they would come to my door today.
I guess he was afraid that we wouldn't open the door, so he found an excuse to deliver a letter."
Auntie with pigtails sat back in disappointment. She thought her son had sent a letter back.
"Well, I was so happy for nothing, but I have to tell you about this, young man.
If it were so easy to get a job now, there wouldn’t be so many educated youth going to the countryside.
It's not easy for your aunt and the others either, so please understand each other.
Besides, it costs six or seven hundred yuan to buy a job. Even if your aunt really finds you a job, you still have to pay for it."
Lu Zhiye smiled innocently and nodded: "I know, my father told me when I came here.
Auntie, I am so thirsty, please come into the house and get me some water."
Seeing how understanding he was, Sun Cuifen nodded with satisfaction.
With a smile, she said to the other two sisters, "I'll go into the house and do some work first."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Even after they entered the house, they could still hear the sighing of the two aunts outside.
It's nothing more than discussing the issue of finding a job.
Sun Cuifen walked into the house, held her chest, and sighed softly.
“It is indeed our family you are looking for, but now An Dequan has changed his name to Chen Dequan.
Don’t call the wrong person later, or else if something goes wrong, you won’t get any benefit.”
There was a threat in her tone and her eyes became fierce.
Lu Zhiye shrugged indifferently: "Can you please ask Comrade Chen Dequan to come over?
I do have something important to discuss with him.”
As Lu Zhiye spoke, he reached out and played with the small wooden sign in his hand.
Sun Cuifen said, "Wait!" and left in a hurry!
Lu Zhiye waited for about half an hour before he heard a bicycle bell at the door.
"Is Lao Chen back?"
"Your nephew is still waiting at home."
A smile appeared on Chen Dequan's panicked face: "Yes, I'll come back to take a look..."
He parked the car quickly, walked to the door, straightened his sleeves, coughed lightly, and then pushed the door open.
Sun Cuifen did not come in, but sat in the yard, chatting absent-mindedly with the other two people.
Chen Dequan had just closed the door when he saw what Lu Zhiye was holding, and his pupils dilated.
“You, you are….”
Lu Zhiye didn't have time to go through all these twists and turns with them. When he first arrived in Anshi, he was completely in the dark and had a hard time finding the address given by the old man.
As a result, I was told that the person had moved away long ago.
There was no choice but to go here according to the second address.
Lu Zhiye took out a letter and said straight to the point: "This is a letter that a comrade named An asked me to bring to you."
When Chen Dequan saw the words on the white paper, he felt like he was hit hard on the head.
Didn’t they say that person was dead?
So many people were sent down and did not survive, and there was no news for so many years, so they all subconsciously thought that An Jingyi was long gone.
Just when Chen Dequan was about to reach out to take the letter on the table, Lu Zhiye picked up the bottom two pages of the letter.
"Comrade Chen, I came to see you today because Mr. An asked me to do so.
I want to ask where the little girl of the An family is now?"
Chen Dequan took several deep breaths before he calmed his somewhat anxious heart.
He poured himself a glass of water and drank it.
Then he slowly said: "I live in the alley in the west of the city.
An Jingyi he......."
Lu Zhiye pushed the top two sheets of paper over, and the meaning was very clear: Look for yourself.
Chen Dequan suppressed the strangeness in his heart. Although he was dissatisfied with Lu Zhiye's neglect, he didn't say much.
As the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee, when had he ever been treated like this?
A young boy dares to act so arrogantly in front of him?
But when he read the contents of the letter carefully, his fingers clenched so hard that they began to crackle.
The letters were all crumpled.
I didn't expect that after all these years, An Jingyi still had those things in his hands...
"She's in the alley in the west of the city. You can find her by asking around for Hu Ermaizi's house.
If you have any problem later, come find me. "
Chen Dequan's voice revealed a hint of coldness, and he lowered his eyes so that people couldn't see the expression in his eyes.
Lu Zhiye got the information he wanted and was too lazy to play along with him.
He quickly opened the door and walked out. Sun Cuifen's expression tensed up and she quickly dropped the food and ran into the house.
He closed the door and asked quietly, "What's going on?"
Chen Dequan stared at the bowl on the table for a long time before speaking: "The man surnamed An is still alive, and he still has the things I signed in his hand."
"What should we do then?"
Sun Cuifen looked anxious, then calmly said: "Old Chen, after so many years, that thing may not be of any benefit.
Even if others find out, what can it do?
We don’t need to be afraid of them, right?”
Chen Dequan closed his eyes and said, "The position I'm sitting in now is too sensitive, and many people are staring at me.
With just a little clue, they can follow the thread and find out the bigger thing.
There are many people who want to step on me, so it is not appropriate to cause trouble at this critical juncture.
You go cook first, and I'll think about what to do. "
Sun Cuifen nodded and deliberately said in a loud voice: "The kid is young and energetic, don't bother with him.
I'll go back to my parents' house and have a good talk with him."
She walked out as she spoke, and when she reached the yard, she was still complaining to others about Lu Zhiye, saying that she didn't understand their difficulties.
Hearing the agreement from others, her uneasy heart calmed down a little.
When she first got married, she knew the situation of the An family. Over the years, she had visited the daughter of the An family twice.
But every family has its own problems. Chen Dequan's position, and his involvement with the landlord's son, is hard to explain. Over time, he became too lazy to look at it.
