Mrs. Qian glanced at Mrs. Qian, who immediately pulled Datou and Daya over and said in a low voice: "You two go to the village chief and ask him to ask someone to go to the mountain to call your grandfather and father down. You won't allow it." Do you know if you run into the mountains by yourself?"
The two nodded.
Little Qian said again in a low voice: "Call the village chief, let's go."
The two children ran away hand in hand.
Xiaoqian went into the kitchen and made a bowl of tofu flower, reluctantly sprinkled a handful of sugar in it, stirred it and sent it to the yamen servant.
The yamen servant had never eaten this kind of thing, and after taking a bite, he was very surprised, "What is this thing, it looks like tofu, but it doesn't look like it."
Qian smiled and said: "This is tender tofu. We call it Douhua. Putting in sugar is very refreshing. I trouble you to go all the way. Please don't dislike it."
The yamen servant's face became even better, and he relaxed a lot. Seeing Qian's uneasy expression, he said, "Actually, it's not a big deal..."
He paused here, then scratched his head and said, "It's a big deal."
Qian's heart was up and down following his words, she squeezed the corner of her clothes and asked cautiously, "Then dare to ask the official, is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
"It's a bad thing."
Qian's heart sank to the bottom, she forced a smile and asked, "Did something happen to my family accidentally?"
The yamen servant looked at her suspiciously, "Someone in your family committed a crime?"
"No, no, no," Mrs. Qian waved her hands quickly, and said with a worried face: "Isn't this when my family got a cow on credit from the county government at the beginning of spring? Is it because of the cow on credit..."
Man Bao stood behind Qian, and said to himself: There will be no problem with crediting cattle. My father went to the city to ask about it on the fifth day of the first day of the lunar new year. It's just that the county government celebrates the Dragon Boat Festival, so no one is working, but the gatekeeper said , It is enough to pay back the money within three years.
Because he said that if you enter the first day of junior high school, it will be considered as one month, and it will be counted as one month's interest regardless of whether it is full or not, so the old Zhou Tou is very stingy and decides to wait until twenty-nine o'clock before going to the yamen to pay back the money.
So credit cattle can have goalkeeping problems
Sure enough, as soon as the yamen servant heard that it was about credit cattle, he waved his hand and said, "That's the work of the county magistrate, what's the problem? Don't think about it, I'm just a messenger?"
Seeing that his mother was really nervous, Man Bao couldn't help asking, "Is it a secret?"
The yamen servant saw Man Bao standing behind Qian, and felt that she looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
So he shook his head.
Man Bao said: "If it's not a secret, just tell my mother, my family is decided by my parents together, my mother knows the same as my father knows."
"That won't work. The superiors have specified that they need to find Zhou Jin, so I have to find Zhou Jin."
Man Bao couldn't help teasing him, "Then my father won't come down from the mountain for ten and a half months, and we won't be able to find him. What should you do? Live at my house?"
The yamen servant was stunned, and said angrily, "How could someone stay on the mountain for ten days and half a month?"
"Why not, Orion will." Man Bao couldn't help but look behind him, and asked in surprise, "You are carrying a burden, you don't really want to live in my house, do you?"
Yamen servant: "... this is not mine!"
"That's for my family?" Man Bao's eyes lit up, "I see, is it because someone sent something to my father, so the post station sent it? No, the post station only delivers things to officials, so it's for me Is it an official that father sent things?"
The yamen servant was really afraid of her, and said again and again: "Okay, okay, don't guess."
Didn't he just want some money
Why is it so difficult
He glared at Man Bao and said, "Someone sent something to your father..."
After saying this, Mrs. Qian who was sitting in the room, Mrs. Qian who was surrounded by the outside of the house and others all heaved a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help complaining to the yamen servant in their hearts. Really, what can't be said about sending things
The yamen servant continued after eating a mouthful of bean curd, "Is there someone named Zhou Yin in your family?"
The hearts of Qian Shi, Xiao Qian Shi and the others jumped up again, Qian Shi even felt dizzy in front of her eyes, she grabbed Man Bao's arm, and Man Bao had already responded happily: "Yes, yes, he It's my uncle, who sold himself away a long time ago, is it something he sent to my father? My uncle is an official?"
This is impossible!
Although Zhou Yin's face was scratched more than a dozen times, but if it wasn't him, could Qian not recognize it
That's the child I brought up with my own hands!
The yamen servant looked at Man Bao sympathetically. Anyway, the money he collected might be hopeless, so he no longer hid it. He simply took off the burden and opened it, saying: "This is Zhou Yin's stuff. It is from Liangzhou. It was sent here. Three years ago, Liangzhou was infested with bandits. When Zhou Yin went out with his family, all the bandits died. Last winter, Liangzhou suppressed bandits. This is something I found from the bandits’ lair. There is Zhou Yin’s Guidance and some things."
The yamen servant saw Qian's face was stunned, Man Bao opened his mouth even more, and curled his lips and said: "The Liangzhou yamen felt that the family must be notified when someone died, so they searched according to the directions, and finally found out that Zhou was dead. Yin is from our Luojiang County, how about it, he belongs to your family, right?"
Man Bao picked up Lu Yin to read, read it to her mother quickly, and asked, "Mother, is this uncle?"
no!
The two words twirled on the tip of her tongue, and Qian thought of the two people who came to the village last year, and also thought of the lonely grave on the mountain without a name.
Qian's tears fell down like pearls with a broken thread, she turned to hold the things in the bag, there were two tattered clothes and a pair of tiger-toed shoes.
I don't know who stuffed the clothes into it, so Qian grasped the tiger-toed shoes, nodded with a sob and said: "It's your uncle, it's your uncle, the appearance written on the road guide is the same as your uncle's." Exactly the same…”
Qian turned around and hugged Man Bao, crying loudly: "My darling, I have raised the child for so many years, and I have not come back to take a look after going out for so many years, I thought you forgot to go home Road, it turned out to be like this..."
Xiaoqian and Zhou Xi who were outside the door also started crying immediately, the two sisters-in-law wiped their tears and went in to support Qian, Feng and others all started crying...
As soon as the adults cried, the children couldn't help crying. For a while, the crying of the old Zhou's house was loud, and the village head who hurried over heard the crying when he arrived at the door. He was so frightened that he rushed in and shouted loudly. Asked: "What's the matter, what's the matter?"
Man Bao also cried, and she cried loudly. Although she had never seen this uncle, he was her relative after all, and her mother cried so sadly that Man Bao couldn't help crying too.
But she was okay, so she said, "Brother Village Chief, my uncle is dead."
The village head looked blank, "Who is your uncle?"
Qian Shi had already reacted, and hurriedly cried loudly: "It's Zhou Yin!"
The village chief's pupils shrank, and Qian was already crying like a cannonball, "The yamen servant said that my family, Zhou Yin, was killed by bandits three years ago. No wonder he didn't come home, and he didn't come back. It turns out that he was gone long ago. How can I see my in-laws in the future..."
