Seeing that it was soon the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Uncle Yan, who was on a business trip to the capital, finally came back while Lin Hao was looking forward to the stars and the moon.
After receiving the news that Uncle Yan was back, Lin Hao rushed to Uncle Yan's house as soon as possible, but in vain, Uncle Yan went to the village committee.
He hurried to the village committee without stopping, but after entering, he found that Uncle Yan's office was full of people, all of whom came to see Uncle Yan for business.
Lin Hao had no choice but to sit aside and wait patiently and silently.
Waiting until get off work time at noon, Uncle Yan finally calmed down and said, "Lin Hao, are you anxious about waiting?"
Lin Hao, who was already impatient with waiting, pretended to be calm and said: "There's no need to rush."
Uncle Yan said deliberately: "Oh, in that case, just wait a little longer and I'll have a meeting!"
"Huh?" Lin Hao suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Uncle Yan!"
Uncle Yan laughed and scolded: "Look at you, you are still pretending!"
Lin Hao said bitterly: "Uncle Yan, you know that I am anxious, so please stop trying to seduce me, okay?"
Uncle Yan chuckled and said, "I won't tease you anymore, let's go!"
Lin Hao asked blankly: "Where to go?"
Yan Bo said: "It's already here, of course it's time to have dinner after get off work!"
Lin Hao hesitated and said: "But..."
"Everyone has to eat!" Uncle Yan patted him on the shoulder, "What you asked about can't be explained in just a few words. Let's talk while we eat!"
Lin Hao had no choice but to nod in agreement and follow him out of the village committee.
I thought Uncle Yan was taking him home for dinner, but instead he went to the newly opened Yan Ji Restaurant at the entrance of the village.
The restaurant just opened in the past two days. It is directly opposite Liu Sisi's supermarket. It is decorated very high-end, showing its style and luxury.
After entering the restaurant, a pretty, charming, fashionable and well-dressed woman in a long skirt came up to her with her waist swaying. Then she took Uncle Yan's arm affectionately and walked into the box, whispering.
.
Lin Hao, who was following behind, was a little stunned. Is this the legendary mistress? As the village chief, Uncle Yan met his lover in front of the public and openly showed such intimacy. Is it really okay?
If this matter were spread to Aunt Yan's ears, wouldn't she be afraid of changes in the family?
Lin Hao was still a little uneasy until he sat in the box. If he had known that Uncle Yan had made an appointment with the mistress, he would not be the lightbulb! He also made up his mind and walked away immediately after finishing the matter.
After Uncle Yan and the woman whispered for a while as if no one else was around, he caught a glimpse of Lin Hao who was fidgeting, and then said: "By the way, I was so busy talking to you that I forgot to introduce you! Baohan, this is Lin Hao.
Hao, the miracle doctor of our village!"
Baohan? The name is not bad, and the person is good-looking! It's a pity that Qing is a beautiful woman, so why should I be a concubine? Lin Hao sighed secretly.
"I know him, although he may not know me!" The woman pursed her lips and chuckled. She stretched out her hand to Lin Hao generously and said, "Hello, Dr. Lin. My name is Yan Baohan!"
Lin Hao asked in surprise: "Are you from Shikeng Village too?"
Yan Baohan nodded and said, "Yes!"
Lin Hao broke into a cold sweat when he heard this, "This..."
As the saying goes, rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests. Uncle Yan only looked for mistresses when he was looking for them, so why would he look for someone from his own village? What's especially dangerous is that he's from the same clan. What if Liufu doesn't come out within three generations?
Isn't that a mess?
I'm going to go for it! Your circle is really in chaos!
"Hi, hi!" Uncle Yan saw that Lin Hao looked at him and Yan Baohan with different eyes, and waved in front of him: "What are you thinking about? Baohan is my daughter!"
"Daughter?" Lin Hao opened his eyes wide in astonishment, and then asked: "Daughter?"
"Fuck your head!" Uncle Yan said angrily: "Dear, my youngest daughter!"
Lin Hao then breathed a sigh of relief, covering his little heart and said: "Uncle Yan, you told me earlier, I was almost scared to death by you! I thought you were that...what!"
Yan Baohan saw him being startled. He didn't react at first, but when he understood, he immediately said angrily: "Dr. Lin, why are your thoughts so dirty?"
Lin Hao smiled and said: "I'm sorry, Sister Han, it's mainly because you look so different from Uncle Yan!"
Yan Baohan said angrily: "I don't care. If you misunderstand me and my dad, I have to punish you."
Lin Hao said: "Is there a penalty for drinking? No problem!"
Yan Baohan said: "Forfeiting you to drink wine? It's a beautiful thought. The wine I brew is not easy for others to drink. I will punish you to come to my place for a meal at least once a week from now on."
Lin Hao said: "Is there any discount?"
Yan Baohan laughed and said: "I was hit until I broke my bones!"
Lin Hao: "..."
After laughing for a while, Yan Baohan knew that the two of them had something to talk about. He recommended three signature dishes of the restaurant to them and then left, but Uncle Yan refused and asked her to eat together.
After drinking and eating, Uncle Yan asked his daughter to buy two cheap knives at the hardware store, and then he and Lin Hao cut through the weeds and thorns on the path leading to the old house, and arrived in front of the old house.
When Lin Hao stood outside the gate again, he looked up at the walls of the gate. Although he was old and mottled and broke, he still felt dignified, strong, calm and steady in his chest. The generosity and prosperity of the past seemed to be echoing in front of his eyes.
.
Uncle Yan pointed at the old house and said slowly: "This house has been around for a hundred years. The old people used to call it the landlord's old house. I often played here when I was young! Hehe, I'm not afraid of your jokes.
When your aunt and I fell in love, this was the place where we often dated!"
Lin Hao sweated a little after hearing this, and didn't bother to ask them if the first time happened here. He just asked: "Then do you know who its original owner is?"
Yan Bodao: "It is said that he is a wealthy landowner and country squire, very famous."
Lin Hao asked again: "Is there no one living there at that time?"
Uncle Yan shook his head, "No, land reform had been implemented at that time, and the land ownership of the landlords had been abolished. This place has been owned by the production team and served as a collective granary to store things such as millet and farm tools."
Lin Hao asked: "What about the original owner? Is he in the village? Or has he gone somewhere else?"
Uncle Yan shook his head again and said: "I heard that their family moved away long before the house was confiscated. Some said they went to Taiwan Province, some said they went to Austria, and some said they went overseas. Anyway,
There are different accounts, and there is no way to verify where he went and how he lived."
Lin Hao hurriedly asked: "What's his last name?"
"The surname is Lin!" Uncle Yan responded affirmatively, and then added: "There seems to be this person in the tablet in your ancestral hall. His name is Lin...Zurong. Yes, that's the name!"
Lin Hao suddenly became excited, and his heart beat violently, because he had also seen this name in the ancestral hall, and quickly asked: "What happened next?"
Yan Bodao: "Later, with the disintegration of the people's communes, the production teams became villagers' groups. The place became vacant, but the property rights were still owned by the village collective. Later, the village auctioned some real estate to the public, and this old house was also
I was photographed by someone else."
Lin Hao asked: "Is it also the person named Lin who took the photo away?"
Uncle Yan shook his head, "It seems not!"
Lin Hao asked: "It seems?"
Yan Bo said: "Yes, I was not the village chief at the time, and I was not in charge of the auction, so I don't know very well. I only know that there is something like this!"
Lin Hao asked: "Who knows this best?"
Yan Bo said: "Of course he was the village chief at that time!"
Lin Hao said: "Where are the others?"
Yan Bo said: "He has passed away!"
Lin Hao: "..."
Yan Bo said: "However, I don't think it's someone named Lin, because it was publicly auctioned to the public at that time. Although it was not as good as it is now, there were so many rich people that anyone could have one."
Lin Hao was a little disappointed. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Has the house remained vacant since that person took the photo?"
Uncle Yan shook his head again and said: "It seems that there were people living there for a while."
Lin Hao said: "When did it happen?"
Yan Bo said: "More than ten years ago."
Lin Hao asked again: "Exactly ten years?"
Yan Bo said: "It should be around thirteen or fourteen years!"
Lin Hao was greatly moved when he heard this, because this time coincided with the time when he was abducted, so he quickly asked: "How long have they lived here?"
Yan Bo said: "I don't know how long they lived there, because I was still working outside at the time."
Lin Hao said: "Then can you help me find out about this matter?"
"Looking for some people who live in the village, we should be able to ask." Seeing that Lin Hao was really anxious, Uncle Yan took out his phone and said, "I'll ask you now."
Lin Hao said: "Okay, I'm sorry to bother Uncle Yan!"
Uncle Yan was busy making phone calls, while Lin Hao walked around the old house and used the sickle in his hand to remove the weeds outside the courtyard wall.
After walking around and coming back, Uncle Yan had already finished the phone call and said to him: "I already asked, I came back to live in July 2003. But I only stayed for less than half a year and left!"
Lin Hao said: "Why did you leave?"
Uncle Yan shook his head, "No one knows. When they came back to live, they just stayed in the house, rarely went out, and had little contact with the people in the village. I also happened to ask the old man who used to graze cattle and chop firewood around here.
I just found out about it.”
Lin Hao said: "Then have you asked them how many people have returned and whether there are children as old as me among them?"
Yan Bo said: "After asking, it seems that there are more than a dozen people, but there is only one child. The age is quite consistent with your age at that time, but..."
Lin Hao asked: "But what?"
Yan Bo said: "Others said it was a little girl with pigtails!"
Lin Hao's expression darkened when he heard this. Could it be that he had found the wrong one again? This was another empty attempt. After thinking for a while, he said: "Uncle Yan, can you help me find the auction records at that time and find the way to buy this house?"
Master?"
Uncle Yan asked: "What do you want to do?"
Lin Hao said: "I want to know if this person is related to me?"
Yan Bo said: "What if not?"
Lin Hao said: "Even if it doesn't happen, I still want to buy this old house."
Uncle Yan was surprised, "This old house is no better than other houses. If you want to buy it, they may not be willing to sell it, and even if they are willing to sell it, the price will not be low. You have to be mentally prepared."
Lin Hao nodded and said: "I know, please trouble Uncle Yan!"
Seeing his firm tone, Uncle Yan had no choice but to stop persuading and agreed: "Okay, I'll go back and look for you, but you have to be mentally prepared, there may not be any results! The village committee moved back and forth several times.
Moreover, there was a fire and many files were lost!”
