The Red Star production team where Mr. Du's relatives belonged was more than 20 miles away from Yunshan City. The driver stopped the car at noon, and several people ate the meat buns brought by Ruan Zhonghua on the side of the road, and continued on their way.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and finally arrived at the Red Star production team.

The car bumped on the country road and stopped at the gate of the village committee.

When Su Qian and Ruan Zhonghua got out of the car, people from the village committee greeted them with a warm and respectful attitude, "Hello, comrades, may I ask who you are—"

Ruan Zhonghua had Susie's camera hanging around his neck, and he stretched out his hand, "Hello, comrade, I'm from the provincial government, and my name is Ruan Zhonghua."

The comrades of the village committee were immediately in awe, the people of the provincial government!Even if it's just a clerk, it's a big deal to them.

He quickly shook hands with Ruan Zhonghua, "Hello, hello, I'm Liu Jingang, the captain of the Red Star production team."

Ruan Zhonghua explained the purpose of coming, "We are here to find an old man named Du Yaoxian."

Liu Jingang suddenly realized, "A while ago, someone came over to inquire about his family's affairs. Could it be—"

Susie nodded beside her, "I asked someone to come over to inquire."

Ruan Zhonghua introduced to Liu Jingang, "This is President Su from Hong Kong City."

Liu Jingang blinked his eyes a few times. He didn't quite understand what the word "general" meant. He probably was an official. He warmly shook Susie's hand, "Old Du should be at home now. I'll take you there."

Along the way, Liu Jingang told Su Xi about the situation of Du Yaoxian's family.

"He has two sons and a daughter. The daughter married to the next village. The two sons have already married, and there are several grandchildren."

"Old Du is not in good health. He takes medicine all the year round, and his family is also in difficulty."

Su Qian asked as she walked, "I heard that Uncle Du has a sister-in-law and a nephew?"

Liu Jingang nodded, "His younger sister-in-law Liu Ermei has been a widow for many years. Her husband joined the army and left a few days after he got married. He should have died outside long ago."

"The second year after her husband left, Second Sister Liu gave birth to a son, and she is almost forty now."

Susie asked in surprise: "Is that child her husband's?"

Liu Jingang hesitated for a moment, "It should belong to her man, that kid Du Ping looks like the Du family."

"This Second Sister Liu is an honest person. She never flirts with men outside. When she was young, she had a good life. Many people promised her that she would marry her. She said she would wait for her man to come back. She waited for decades."

Su Xi was very impressed when she heard that, Mr. Du left in [-], when the war was still going on, a woman without a husband must have suffered a lot in raising her son by herself.

After speaking, he arrived at Du's house. Liu Jingang pointed to the green brick and black tile house in front of him and said, "This is the Du's house. This house was built by Old Du's grandfather."

"Old Du's family, and his brother-in-law's family live here."

Susie looked at the five big tile-roofed houses in front of her, and she remembered that Mr. Du said that he went to a private school when he was a child, and that this family should have had some wealth in the past.

The courtyard wall of Du's courtyard was dilapidated, the paint on the two wooden doors was mottled, and the courtyard door was open. Liu Jingang shouted, "Old Du, someone is looking for you!"

There were several coughs in the room, and then a hunched figure came out of the room.

Susie took a look and saw a skinny old man, dark, with dimples on his face. From his face, he could vaguely see some resemblance to Mr. Du.

The old man looked at Susie and the others, "You are—"

Susie smiled, "Hi, my name is Su, Susie."

Liu Jingang explained next to him: "This is Mr. Su from Hong Kong City."

Lao Du was confused, and stretched his hand into the room, "You two, please sit in the room."

Su Qian and Ruan Zhonghua entered the room, Liu Jingang stood at the door, and left knowingly.

Susie looked at the room. Although it was a main room, there was a bed in the corner. There was an old-fashioned padded jacket on the bed, which seemed to be an old man's bed.

Lao Du asked someone to sit down, opened the back door and shouted: "Old lady, there is a visitor, pour tea!"

After a while, an old woman came in from the back door with muddy hands, obviously just working in the vegetable garden, she wiped her hands on her apron, took two enamel jars, and poured tea into them without washing them.

Susie quickly stopped her, "Ma'am, don't be so busy, we just drank water, so we don't need to pour tea."

The old woman hesitated, "You really don't want to drink?"

Susie smiled, "I really don't drink, we are not thirsty, you are busy with your work."

The old woman went to the vegetable garden through the back door again, closing the door behind her.

Only then did Su Qian explain to Old Man Du the reason for her visit, "That's right, I'm acquainted with Mr. Du Yaoguang, and he entrusted me to find relatives."

Old man Du's eyes widened, and he was about to say something when he suddenly coughed violently. ,

The sound of old man Du's cough echoed throughout the room, and Susie was terrified when she heard it, feeling that old man Du was about to cough up all her internal organs.

She asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Old man Du waved his hand, and it took him a while to calm down. He took a few breaths, "He's still alive? Is he on the other side of the island?"

Susie shook her head, "Alive, in Bindian."

Old man Du stood up suddenly, went to the door, opened the door and shouted to the next door, "Second sister, call Du Ping, I have something to tell you."

Someone next door agreed, and after a while, a middle-aged man and an old woman opened the door and came in.

Su Qian guessed that these two people were Liu Ermei and Du Ping.

Liu Ermei was also very thin and her face was full of wrinkles. However, although her eyelids were drooping, it could be seen that her eyes were large and her outline looked very delicate.

Su Qian took a closer look at Du Ping again, and she felt a sense of familiarity. She really looked like Mr. Du, probably Mr. Du's own son.

Liu Ermei and Du Ping also looked at Susie and Ruan Zhonghua. Old man Du pointed to the chairs in the room, "Sit down, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Old Man Du's solemn expression, the two of them became a little nervous and sat down uncomfortably.

Old man Du glanced at the closed door, and then whispered: "Yaoguang is not dead, he is still alive, and asked someone to come for us."

Du Ping became short of breath, his chest heaved and heaved, "Where is he? Where is my father?"

The second younger sister Liu beside her was in a daze, her lips were trembling, and she couldn't utter a word.

Susie said slowly, "He's in Wudian."

Du Ping suddenly became angry, "Since he is alive, why has he ignored our mother and child for so many years?"

Susie didn't speak, just looked at Du Ping.

Old man Du coughed twice, "Listen to what you said, if he could come back, he would have been back long ago."

"Even now, it's not easy for him to come back!"

Du Ping didn't know why, but when he suddenly heard that his own father was still alive, the grievances of so many years suddenly flooded up, "He can't come back, so what's the use of asking us!"

Susie silently took out two bundles of money from her bag, and handed one bundle to Du Laohan and the other to Du Ping, "This is what Mr. Du asked me to deliver to you, take the flowers first."
