The Pentium Era - South to North

The director sent Tan Shuzhen and the others out, and the three of them walked to the parking lot. Tan Shuzhen thought about it and asked Xiaohu, do you want to know what your mother looks like?

Xiaohu said with some embarrassment: "I think so, but I'm too embarrassed to trouble the police because they have already helped me so much."

Tan Shuzhen said: "It doesn't matter. It can help. It is also work for them and gives them a sense of accomplishment. We will ask the director when we go back."

The three people walked back to the director's office. When they saw them coming back, the director quickly stood up. Tan Shuzhen told the director why they were here. The director immediately picked up the phone on the table and said to the phone: " Come here."

A few minutes later, a female police officer came in. The director asked her to help check the household registration information of Yu Huilian's family. The female police officer said that the household registration information has now been transferred to the district approval center, and she needs to go there. try to find.

The director scolded: "Nonsense, how can the data of people who have canceled their household registration be transferred to the past? Besides, what happened so many years ago, the data at that time was not online yet, so there must be original data archived."

"That's right. If this information hasn't been transferred to the city archives yet, it's still with us. I'll go back and look for it right away."

Being criticized in public by the leader, the female police officer's face turned slightly red. She asked Tan Shuzhen: "Do you have the name and ID number of the person you want to check, as well as the original place of residence?"

Tan Shuzhen gave her the stack of information. This information was copied from here. Only the photo was copied into a dark silhouette. Nothing could be seen clearly, but the text part of the information and the text in the upper left corner were copied. The file number was clear. The female police officer looked at it and said, "Okay, this is indeed still with us. I will help you find it right away."

After a while, the female police officer came over with a file bag. Inside was the household registration information of Alian and her family. She took it out and looked at it. The top one was the information of the head of the household, which is Alian’s father. She flipped it down and found Alian’s father. On that page, the female police officer blurted out:

"it's beautiful!"

Then she said "Huh", looked up at Xiaohu, and asked, "Is this your mother? She looks so much like her!"

Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen went over and saw A-Lian's photo. They felt that the two sentences of the female police officer were very accurate. A-Lian was indeed very beautiful and delicate. She was the kind of beauty without any makeup, and her features were beautiful. In the meantime, he does look very similar to Xiaohu.

After seeing Alian's photo, Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen could see the relationship between them even without Miss Cai's letter.

It's a pity that they didn't see Alian's photo back then, otherwise this secret wouldn't be a secret from the day they saw Xiaohu, especially for Zhang Chen, a painter.

"Hello, Director, can I take pictures of these?" Xiaohu asked.

"Okay, okay." The director said and walked away from his seat, calling to Xiaohu and saying, "Come on, come to my place to take pictures. The light here is good."

Xiaohu quickly said thank you!

He put Alian's household registration information on the director's desk, took out his mobile phone, and first took a picture of the entire household registration information. Then he got close to Alian's photo and took it. He seemed uneasy and took another photo. After taking it once, I took a look at the archived photos. I felt relieved that I didn’t need to take any more photos.

He then took the household registration information and photos of his grandfather and grandmother.

Thanking the director and the female police officer, the three of them said goodbye. Tan Shuzhen looked at her watch. It was almost five o'clock. It would take at least more than an hour to go from the police station to the Mid-Levels Cemetery during the evening rush hour. Tan Shuzhen and Xiaohu said , when we arrive, the cemetery will be off work, so we can go there tomorrow morning.

Xiaohu said yes.

Along the way, Xiaohu stopped talking and just kept taking out his mobile phone to look at it. Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen were also silent and did not disturb him.

That day, the three of them had dinner at the Tuxiangyuan Hotel on Yan'an Road. During the meal, Tan Shuzhen called Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and told him what was going on here. She said that as long as she went to Banshan Cemetery tomorrow, she should be there. The tombs of Xiaohu's mother and the others can be found.

"That's good, that's good." Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, said.

"Brother, how are you doing there? Have we, Mr. Zhang, met you?" Tan Shuzhen asked.

"We met. We had dinner together. He also helped us find comrades from the county United Front Work Department. Comrades from the United Front Work Department will accompany us tomorrow. We have already contacted the village." Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, said happily.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Zhang Chen and Xiaohu drove to Qiushi Academy respectively, and the three of them drove to Banshan Cemetery.

When they arrived at the cemetery management office, they quickly found the area where the tombs of Alian's family of three were located. The staff took out a schematic map of the cemetery and marked the locations of a double tomb, a single tomb, and the two tombs on the map. It was marked and asked to find it according to the map.

The three people held the schematic diagram in their hands and thanked the staff. When they were about to go inside, they saw a gift shop in the row of houses opposite. They bought three bouquets of white chrysanthemums and a knife of yellow paper. The clerk warned them that the yellow paper can only be pressed on the tombstone and cannot be burned. Burning paper is now prohibited in cemeteries.

Tan Shuzhen said I understand, thank you!

The three people followed the map and walked in the mountain. After searching for more than twenty minutes, they found the graves of Alian and her family of three. The two graves looked a bit sad. At a glance, they could tell that they were two lonely graves without owners. Although it is not a tomb-sweeping festival, there are weathered yellow papers on the tops of other tombstones around the tombs, and there are withered flowers in front of the tombstones.

Especially on the tombstone, the color of the inscribed text is already very light. There are only five words "Yu Huilian's Tomb" alone on the tombstone, and there are no other words. The other tombstones around are all about the daughter-in-law. Son-in-law, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, a bunch of people who set up monuments.

On the three tombstones, the oval plexiglass cover where the photo is placed is also empty.

Xiaohu placed three bouquets of white chrysanthemums in front of the three tombs, pressed the yellow paper on the top of the tombstones, and then knelt down in front of Alian's grave.

Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen walked away. They saw Xiaohu kneeling in front of Alian's grave, kowtowing three times and mumbling something.

Then, he kowtowed three more times. Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen knew that he was kowtowing for Miss Cai.

He knelt in front of his grandparents' graves again and kowtowed three times.

Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen walked back. Xiaohu's eyes were still red. The three of them stood in front of the grave for a while. Tan Shuzhen said softly: "Let's go."

The three of them returned to the cemetery management office. Xiaohu asked the staff if they could replace the three tombstones for me.

"Who are they to you?" the staff member asked.

"I am Yu Huilian's son." Xiaohu hesitated and said softly.

The staff member looked at Xiaohu and then at the registration book. She said that was wrong. The graves registered here were ownerless graves and there was no contact information for relatives.

Tan Shuzhen quickly said that she was separated when she was young, and now she has just been found.

The staff nodded: "Okay, please leave your phone number."

Xiaohu wrote down his name and mobile phone number in the registration book. Zhang Chen said on the side, leave mine too. He came from Taiwan. When he returns to Taiwan and is not in the mainland, if you have anything to do, please contact me. If you can't find him, contact me.

The staff member agreed, and she spread the register in front of Zhang Chen. While Zhang Chen was writing, she said:

"I usually have nothing to do. I just want to take a look. This tomb is about to expire in a few years. The use period of our cemetery here is twenty years. If you want to renew it then..."

"You can also come to me." Zhang Chen said.

"Can I renew now?" Xiaohu asked.

The staff member shook her head. She said that there was no precedent for this, so she should wait for our notification.

Xiaohu asked again about replacing the tombstone. The staff was embarrassed. Zhang Chen said, we can pay for it.

"Any amount is fine." Xiaohu said.

Tan Shuzhen told the staff, "Look, they came from Taiwan, and it was not easy to find that their mother and grandparents are here. If they are juniors, how can their names not be on the tombstone?"

The staff member nodded, she stood up and said, please wait a moment.

She walked out and came back ten minutes later. There was a middle-aged man in his forties following her. The staff introduced him as Master Zhang. The staff told them that we have never had tombstones changed here. Yes, it does not comply with the regulations, but your situation is quite special. I have discussed with Master Zhang and they will replace it for you, but...

"We will pay for the material and labor costs." Zhang Chen said.

The staff said okay, then you can talk about it yourself.

Master Zhang asked the staff for a calculator. From the cost of the marble tombstone, the mason's engraving fees, construction materials and labor costs, etc., the total came to 4,200 yuan.

Xiaohu took out a knife of ten thousand yuan from his bag and handed it to Master Zhang. Master Zhang wanted to count forty-two from the ten thousand yuan. Xiaohu held his hand and said, "No, thank you." , for this money, you can help me replace the tombstone.

Master Zhang looked at the staff, who said, "If your family members give it to you, just accept it."

Master Zhang quickly said thank you, thank you!

Xiaohu made an appointment with Master Zhang. He would come again in the afternoon and give Master Zhang photos of his mother and grandparents. Master Zhang agreed that I would be in the row of houses opposite, the one at the top on the left hand side.

The three of them left Banshan Cemetery and walked toward the city. Xiaohu's face became much brighter. He looked out the car window and occasionally laughed.

When the car entered the city, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, called and asked how Tan Shuzhen was doing. Tan Shuzhen said that the tombs of their family of three had been found. Xiaohu had kowtowed. At this point, Tan Shuzhen covered her mouth with her hands and whispered , six.

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, said, great, this has put an end to Miss Cai's worries. Alas, Xiaohu is also a sensible child, and Miss Cai's love for him is justified.

Tan Shuzhen asked Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, how is your place? Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, smiled and said, "We have found it here too. We have already talked to Guimin on the phone. Her aunt is very clear-headed. Many things are in sync with each other. Haha, not only did she find it, Guimin's aunt, half of the village here is her relative, even the village director is her nephew.

Tan Shuzhen smiled and said: "That's great, congratulations to you and Sister-in-law Guimin!"

"Yeah, yeah, the people in the village are too enthusiastic and won't let us go. They want to treat us to dinner at noon and even more in the evening. They also insist on letting us stay at their farmhouse for one night."

Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, lowered his voice and said: "However, the comrades of the United Front Work Department were very cautious. They went back first and said they would go to the county archives in the afternoon to check the household registration information from 49 years ago and confirm it again. Gui Min couldn't wait. , is coming to the mainland."

In the evening, Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, called Zhang Chen again and told them that it was correct. Comrades from the United Front Work Department had found the household registration information from forty-nine years ago and confirmed that it was correct.

Zhang Chen put down the phone and told Tan Shuzhen and Xiaofang what Liu Bang, the founder of Han Dynasty, said, and they both laughed.
