When Shen Anan returned to the house, her mother had turned off the lights and the room was dark.
But my face was still hot when I touched it.
Lying on the kang, recalling the heat just now, he sighed softly.
The night passed quickly, and Huo Chengan got up early the next morning.
Not only did they clean the yard, they also pumped back the water.
The yard was also tidied up, and Huo Chengan also made breakfast.
In Zhang Xiuying's words, she has a lazy daughter but a hard-working son-in-law.
Huo Chengan left immediately after eating.
Huo Chengan went to the driver team and asked to see who was going to the county town today and who happened to give him a ride.
As a result, he was bumped into by the group leader.
"Xiao Huo, where are you going? I just have something to ask you."
Huo Chengan gave a military salute.
"Captain, what's going on?"
One glance fell on the person next to the group leader.
This person is not the Lu Qiming he met last time.
"Comrade Lu Qiming, you know him!
The last time you went to the station to pick someone up with him, their old man has not been found yet.
He disappeared inexplicably and I have been looking for him for a long time.
Some people say that traces of the old man were found in the desert over there in the Xishan Mountains.
Our people are going to go there, so you should accompany Xiao Lu there.
I feel more at ease with you leading the team. You are also familiar with the road conditions there. "
Huo Chengan nodded.
"Captain, don't worry, I will definitely complete this mission."
Huo Cheng'an, the leader of the farewell group, took Lu Qiming to the driver to move away.
"Comrade Lu, why haven't you found your old man yet? It's been a long time, right?"
He always felt that there was something strange about this matter.
"Yes! It lasted more than 20 days in total. You don't know that we searched all over the county and couldn't find the old man anywhere."
Lu Qiming now has an unshaven beard and looks a little slovenly.
Mainly because I have been mentally and physically exhausted recently.
My father, uncle, and third uncle are all in the county now.
Even my brothers and sisters are all here, and everyone is looking for the old man.
If the old man can't be found, everyone will probably blame him.
He has almost become the eternal sinner of the Lu family.
He really wanted to find his grandfather quickly, and there had been a lot of clues coming from various places recently.
But every time he pounced, he failed. He was not the old man he was looking for.
During the most important 20 days, if the old man was not in the county and got lost along the road, it would be a big mistake.
Now the whole family has launched various relationships and begun to search.
The police station and the public security system have also received the news, but looking for someone now is really like finding a needle in a haystack.
The whole family saw that they had a nose but not a nose, and a face that was not a face.
Lu Qiming felt that he might as well just die, especially since everyone knew that the old man was in poor health and could not remember him at all.
What should I do if something happens to the old man outside?
They knew that they didn't know whether every news was true or false, but they had to treat every news as true.
The two got into the car.
Driver Xiao Liu watched them walking towards the village.
While walking, Lu Qiming started to complain a little bit nonstop.
“My grandfather joined the revolutionary ranks since he was a child and basically spent little time at home.
But after my grandma passed away, my grandpa still paid more attention to the family.
Grandpa did not find a wife, but lived alone with several children.
Although their life was relatively rough, my father and the others admired my grandfather very much.
Grandpa is now older and has retired a long time ago. He could have enjoyed his old age in peace.
But who knew that I would encounter such a disease again and not remember anything. "
"Not only do my grandfather not remember it now, but all my father's brothers and sisters don't remember it either.
Except for my little aunt, I basically didn’t recognize anyone I saw. "
Huo Chengan asked in surprise,
"Is your sister-in-law's name Lu Xiaoxiao?"
Lu Qiming was stunned for a moment.
"How do you know? Did I just say my little aunt's name?
My little aunt is Lu Xiaoxiao. My little aunt is particularly favored by my grandfather.
But my little aunt has been willful since she was a child.
She married far away to the south and never came back.
In order to marry my uncle, I broke off the relationship with my family, which broke the old man's heart.
Later, my grandfather never mentioned my little aunt again.
But now I have the disease of forgetting people, and my little aunt's name is always on my lips. "
"Xiao Liu'er, stop the car."
Xiao Liu stepped on the brakes and was a little at a loss.
Lu Qiming almost bumped into the seat in front of him.
"What's wrong? Camp Commander Huo, what's going on?"
"Turn around!"
"Turn around?
Can't turn around.
We have to see if the old man who was found is my grandfather.
Even if there is a glimmer of hope, we cannot give up. "
"I know the whereabouts of your grandfather. Is your grandfather's surname Lu, Lu Yuanshan?"
"Yes, how do you know?
You should know my grandfather's name. "
Lu Qiming didn't understand what Huo Chengan was talking about.
"I know the whereabouts of your grandfather!"
"What? You know the whereabouts of my grandfather, how do you know?"
Lu Qiming felt a little unable to believe how Huo Chengan knew the whereabouts of his old man.
“I never knew the old man’s name was Lu Yuanshan.
In fact, the old man is at our house. "
Huo Chengan said helplessly. He really didn't know that the old man in their family was actually Lu Qiming's grandfather.
If they knew, there would be no need to take the old man directly back to their home.
These days, I have spared no effort to find the old man's family, and it turns out that they are right in front of me.
"Captain Huo, you can't make this joke. How could our old man be at your house?
If it were at your house, why wouldn't you tell me? What kind of peace of mind do you have? "
Lu Qiming was immediately angry. He felt that Huo Chengan did it on purpose.
He and Huo Chengan did not receive this information when they went to pick up their grandfather. Huo Chengan knew it clearly.
As a result, the old man is now living in their house.
I also made myself suffer for more than 20 days, being ignored by my family members and being criticized in various ways.
"Comrade Xiao Lu, please don't misunderstand me.
I definitely wouldn't have done it on purpose. When we found the old man, he had no memory at all.
The old man met my wife on the train and was saved by her.
So we specially sent him to the Zhanqian Police Station. I didn't know at the time that the old man you were going to pick up was the one we sent to the police station. "
Huo Chengan told the story again.
Lu Qiming was dubious. He always felt that there could be such a coincidence in the world.
"Then why did the old man go to your house later?"
The first reaction was that Huo Chengan did this deliberately to please his uncle, brother-in-law and his father.
"Later, the police station notified us to pick him up. The old man made a big fuss in the police station. No one could stop him from eating or drinking, and he didn't sleep."
"Then you go pick up the old man. Will he eat, drink and sleep?"
They knew about their grandfather's condition, and it was indeed what Huo Chengan said.
