She wanted to find her grandfather. He only had one son, Zuo Tianming. After his son died, he became a helpless person. She also wanted to be filial to her grandfather and comfort him from the pain of losing his son.

"He went back with Zuo Tianming's ashes, saying he wanted to take them back to his hometown for burial."

Because Yuan Lichun was entrusted by Zuo Jingyan, he asked very detailed questions and explained the matter clearly.

"When did you leave?"

Zuo Jingyan asked anxiously, she had just returned from Wuzhen. If grandpa brought his father's ashes back, why didn't he meet him?

"I'm leaving on October 20th. The forest farm helped me buy the train ticket."

Yuan Lichun took out his notebook and wrote down all the important information in it.

Zuo Jingyan grasped the key point and asked:

"Did you buy the ticket from the forest farm? Where did you buy the ticket?"

He left on October 12th. It is now mid-January, and it has been three months. Grandpa should have returned to Wuzhen even if he was walking, but Grandpa Wang said that he had never gone back, so where did he go?

Yuan Lichun was asked:

"I really haven't asked about this yet. I'll take you to the forestry farm to ask Director Mu later."

No matter how anxious Zuo Jingyan was, she had to let him send her mother and children home first.

"Li Chun, please help Xiao Zuo. She doesn't know anyone here. Just leave me and my mother down. You can take her to the forest farm!"

Cui Ying helped Zuo Jingyan speak, and she saw that Zuo Jingyan was very anxious and restless.

"Okay, I'll take you to the family compound and then take her to the forest farm. It's not far away."

Yuan Lichun nodded and asked the orderly to drive faster.

"Don't worry, drive slowly, the road is too slippery and there are children in the car."

Zuo Jingyan couldn't put everyone in danger because of herself and asked the orderly to drive slowly.

The military compound in Yichun is different from the one in Jinghai. They are all underground houses. This kind of house can withstand the cold wind. The disadvantage is that the house is not bright and the door is easy to be sealed in heavy snow.

"Mom, Xiaoying, please bring your children into the house first. The kang is already hot. Take off your shoes and get on the kang to warm yourself up. There is food in the kitchen cupboard, salted duck eggs in the jar on the floor, pickled vegetables in the vat, and snow outside.

There are two pieces of meat buried in the pile, you should make something to eat first."

Yuan Lichun held a child in one hand and sent his mother and daughter-in-law into the house. After giving instructions quickly, he quickly came out and drove Zuo Jingyan to the forest farm.

Yuan Lichun saved the life of Field Director Mu. The year before last winter, the car in which Field Manager Mu was riding overturned into a ditch on the roadside. Yuan Lichun drove by and led his orderlies to rescue them and send them to the hospital for emergency treatment. They also found a liberation vehicle.

Help pull the car out of the ditch.

Director Mu saw Yuan Lichun coming from afar and was very enthusiastic. When he heard that Zuo Jingyan was here to ask about Zuo Tianming's father, he let him into the office.

There is a stove in the center of the office, and a kettle is placed on the stove lid. The water is boiling, and the room is full of hot steam.

Field Director Mu pulled up the long bench and said to Zuo Jingyan:

"Comrade Xiaozuo, it's too cold in the Northeast. You guys from the south are not used to it. Sit down and warm yourself up by the fire."

Zuo Jingyan said thank you before sitting down. Just as she was about to ask, Yuan Lichun had already asked for her:

"Director Mu, where did your forest farm buy the ticket for Zuo Tianming's father?"

"Yixian County, Anhui."

Director Mu remembered this clearly. He sent his office secretary to buy the ticket! Since he had to change trains in the middle, he asked his son to contact someone in the province so that Zuo Yuzhu could get a seat while changing trains.

Zuo Jingyan stood up excitedly, Yixian County? It was the place where her grandfather raised her. Later, she took her grandfather away after she passed the exam.

Why didn't she visit her hometown in Yi County? She just went to Wuzhen to find her grandfather.

Because her grandfather said that he had been working as a boatman in Wuzhen before she was born. She was born in 1988, so she never thought of going to her hometown in Yi County to find her grandfather.

Careless, careless!

Zuo Jingyan really wanted to slap herself twice, but why was she so stubborn?

Why didn't she take a look?

Yuan Lichun noticed Zuo Jingyan's distraught appearance and called her anxiously:

"Xiao Zuo? Xiao Zuo?"

It took Zuo Jingyan a long time to recover. She asked Director Mu:

"Are there...my cousin's belongings?"

"Zuo Tianming is your cousin?"

Director Mu glanced at Zuo Jingyan. She was only a few years younger than Zuo Tianming but a generation behind her. She looked so sad, and tears kept welling up in her eyes as she spoke.

"yes."

Zuo Jingyan nodded, took a deep breath to suppress the sadness in her heart, and looked at Director Mu expectantly. Now her head was a little confused. What's going on? Her father is dead, how was she born? Isn't she grandpa's granddaughter?

So who is she?

She has lived for thirty-five years and she doesn’t even know who she is anymore?

"Zuo Tianming's relics have been taken away by his father. The old man said that Zuo Tianming died to save others. He is proud of his son. Our forest farm has also written his heroic deeds in the history of the forest and calls on everyone to learn from it."

Director Mu said that Zuo Tianming had a look of regret on his face. He was a good young man. He didn't have any of the bad habits of the educated youth in big cities. He was hardworking and very capable. The man Zuo Tianming saved was the son of Director Mu's second uncle.

My uncle gave birth to four daughters before he got this son. If something happened, the whole sky of the second uncle's family would fall.

Therefore, Director Mu was very grateful to Zuo Tianming. He paid Zuo Yuzhu a hundred yuan as a pension out of his own pocket. His second uncle asked his cousin to recognize Zuo Yuzhu as his godfather. But the old man had the guts and didn’t ask for any money.

Bought a ticket for me.

Zuo Jingyan glanced at Director Mu and said against her will, "Thank you."

What can she say? Can she say that she doesn’t care about recording the history of the field? Can she say that she doesn’t care about being learned by others?

Why is Zuo Tianming so great? I didn’t know that grandpa only had one son, and when he died, grandpa’s sky would fall.

I have asked all the questions that need to be asked, and there is no point in staying here any longer. Zuo Jingyan asked for the factory director's phone number. Now she is not in the mood to talk about the wood import. She will talk about it later when the factory becomes bigger!

Yuan Lichun took Zuo Jingyan back to his house. He didn't dare to ask her anything along the way. She looked sad and kept her eyes closed. She wanted to be quiet at this time, so it was better not to disturb her.

"Brother Yuan, help me buy two tickets to Yi County, Anhui."

Zuo Jingyan opened her eyes. She must find her grandpa. It has been three months. What happened to grandpa during these three months? She became more and more uneasy. She always felt that something had happened to his old man.

"It's too late today. If you want to leave, you have to leave tomorrow. I will ask someone to buy a ticket with a seat for you."

Yuan Lichun advised me that I had to stay one night and have some food, and I couldn't leave on an empty stomach.

"Is there a train tonight? It's okay if you don't have a seat. I'll get on the train and make up the sleeper berth."

Zuo Jingyan was so anxious to return home that she flew to Yi County immediately, unwilling to waste even a minute.

Yuan Lichun saw that Zuo Jingyan was anxious and drove back to the forest farm. Director Mu's son worked at the station and asked him to help buy the tickets. It was easier than finding someone to do it himself. Director Mu helped buy the tickets and gave them to Zuo Jingyan and

Zhao Xiaobao opened a letter of introduction, and Yuan Lichun left his contact address and phone number with Zuo Jingyan, and also asked for her contact address and the phone number of Lu Haoting's unit. The two families would become relatives from now on.
