Li Yan was a little dazed. He didn't know when the other party hung up the phone and sat on the stool stupidly.

Looking at his dazed father, Li Kai asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

The father was still dumb and did not respond. Li Kai put his right hand on his father's shoulder and shook it a few times, "Dad, Dad, what's wrong? What's wrong with my hometown?"

"It's okay, it's really okay." Li Yan finally recovered.

"I'm fine. You go and do your own business. I'm going to work hard, too." Li Yan said and went to the warehouse to sort out the goods.

Li Kai looked at Li Yan for no reason, and he felt that his father... "There is something wrong".

It wouldn't be that an old man in Banshantun passed away? My father didn't need to hide such a thing; something happened to the "New Countryside" project? It's impossible, the "New Countryside" project could not be hidden from me, and even the "main" person; it wouldn't be that Mrs. Li "made a good deed" recently, especially after "recognizing" her brother again, she was as kind as if she had changed.

What's wrong?

Although Li Yan is "busy", he will stop and be stunned when he is busy. His mood is "tossing and turning" in regret, sadness, loss and regret, and his facial expressions are constantly changing.

"If something happens in my hometown, I'll just go back and take a look. Don't be anxious here. With our current conditions, nothing can be solved." Li Kai came over to remind his father at the right time.

Li Yan thought for a while and said, "It's not a big deal. An old friend's family came to pick her up. Unfortunately, this old friend is no longer here." He felt that something was not suitable to tell his son, so he added, "It's all eight years old."

Li Kai no longer persuaded him, and Li Yan continued to sort out.

After a while, Li Yan couldn't help but say to Li Kai: "Why... I'll go back and take a look?"

"Let's go and have a look, it's not illegal, haha." Li Kai said with a smile.

Li Yan thought about it again and made up his mind, "Then I will go there. If I come back late, tell your mother... and say that there is some idle business in my hometown and I need to deal with it."

"Do you need help? Or, I'll go back with you?"

"No. It's okay... I just meet a few people and say a few words."

"Then why are you going back? Mom drove away."

"I went to the gate of the courtyard to take the bus. Why? I still rely on the bus at home?"

"No, I just feel it's inconvenient and it's time to waste. Go and borrow a car from Uncle Qiao. His car is not often used, and he should be at home at this time." Li Kai gave him an idea.

"Yes, my brain, then I'll borrow it." Li Yan smiled awkwardly and then went out.

"If you need help, remember to call back." Li Kai chased him out and shouted.

"I understand." Li Yan walked towards Qiao Xiangdong's house without looking back.

...

"Old Qiao, lend me your car to use. I have some urgent matters. Your sister-in-law is driving to work in my car."

"Give it, you know where it is." Qiao Xiangdong took out the car key from the drawer without saying a word and handed it to Li Yan.

Qiao Xiangdong doesn't drive many "Radaniva" and he never drives to and from work, which is too eye-catching. He is a deputy section chief and he still cares about something and has to avoid suspicion. Li Yan's family has no scruples on this point. His convenience store has a lot of income, so it is reasonable to have a car.

Qiao Xiangdong built a shelf with steel bars on the easternmost open space of this row of bungalows, covering it with thick plastic cloth, built a carport, and usually parked the car inside. He would only take his wife and children back to his parents' houses on holidays, or go out to play.

"I know." Li Yan took the key and turned around and walked out.

"What's the matter? You're so anxious." Qiao Xiangdong said as he looked at Li Yan's back, then chased him out and shouted, "If you have something to do, please talk..."

"Okay..."

...

The car drove into the yard of Banshantun Village Committee. Li Yan turned off the car and was stunned for two minutes in the driving position before calmly entering the "Village Director's Office".

"Brother Third, where are you?" Li Yan glanced in the office and saw Li Miao sitting alone behind the desk.

"I'm leaving, it means I'll come again tomorrow."

"Wow..." Li Yan let out a long sigh and sat down opposite Li Miao's desk.

Li Miao stood up, poured Li Yan a glass of water, and put it to him.

Li Yan picked up the water cup and it was a little hot, but he still took a few big sips, and his mouth was too dry.

"When did it come?" Li Yan asked lowered the water cup.

"It's past nine o'clock."

“From the United States?”

"Yes, I came from the United States and said it was her brother."

"Finally come. Are they going to take the people away?"

"It should be that. The two of them went to the mountain to see it and cried for a while. By the way, he also asked me who was taking care of Xiao Su's cemetery, sweeping the tombs on time, and offering sacrifices."

"You said it was me?"

"That's not. I just say that it's an old friend of Xiao Su. He has been taking care of Xiao Su's cemetery for more than ten years."

"oh."

"When I first met, I asked me if I was a three-shui Miao, and I said yes. He asked me if I had brothers and sisters, namely Li Xin of three gold, Li Sen of three wood, Li Yan of three fire, and Li Yao of three earth."

"Hmm?" Li Yan frowned.

"I said yes, he praised our old man for naming him."

Li Yan looked at the third brother in confusion, not understanding what these meant.

"I think he may know our people, at least someone." Li Miao pointed at Li Yan.

"It shouldn't be true. Yumo rarely contacted his family back then, and there was no way to contact him after an accident at home."

"It's not impossible, there's still a chance before the accident."

"That won't mention me."

"Why can't it be? If it weren't for that special era, you wouldn't be able to guarantee all those special things..."

"Impossible," Li Yan interrupted the third brother, "If it weren't for that special era, Yu Mo wouldn't have come to Banshantun at all. As for what you said, if... how could the crow be worthy of the Phoenix, I just treat her as my little sister."

"You said yes, it's right. Anyway, after so many years, some things can only be heard as a story."

"Do they want to bring Yumo to the United States?"

"It should be true. Their family has no relatives in China, and the old men and ladies in the United States have passed away. This person's desire to "return to their roots" is not strong."

Both of them were silent next.

"I'll go back," Li Yan looked at his watch, "I can't hurry to go to work."

"Go, I guess you will come. I didn't go home at noon, so I'll go back to have something to eat."

"Thank you, my third brother."

"You're welcome to me. Are you here tomorrow? They'll take Xiao Su's ashes tomorrow."

"…Come here, you have to send her away."

"Um."

Li Yan drove back to Ancheng, feeling restless.

Su Yumo, you are finally going to reunite with your family. I feel sorry for you for waiting for twenty years, and I think they have forgotten you.

In fact, not only them, but also gradually fade this memory. In recent years, in addition to the death day of each year, I rarely go to her grave to sit and talk.

Time is too "black" to start, and it erases the past little by little.

Li Yan didn't go to work in the factory and was in a mood.

When I returned to the convenience store, I saw a "Crown" parked at the door of the store.

"This is my dad, the person you are looking for." Seeing Li Yan come back, Li Kai introduced him to a young man sitting in the store, and then carried his schoolbag and ran out.

He was already late. If he hadn't greeted this person for his father, he would have gone to school.

"Hello, are you Mr. Li Yan?" The young man stood up and extended his right hand respectfully to Li Yan.

"I am Li Yan, who are you?" Li Yan shook hands with the other party.

"I am the secretary of the chairman of the American Leicar Investment Company, and my name is Shautag."

"Hello. Is there anything you have to do with me?"

"That's right. Our Chairman Mr. Su Guolin wants to meet you. He is waiting for you at Ancheng Hotel and hopes you can enjoy the glory."
