Xiaoxi Village, here we come!

The Spring Festival has just passed, and the cold of winter has not yet dissipated. Xiaoxi Village in the mountains is especially cold.

The village is poor.

This can be seen from the houses in the village. Nowadays, in many rural areas, there are almost no red brick houses that can be seen.

Most of them are tile-roofed houses.

There are even thatched cottages built with thatched adobe.

I don't know if it's because of the cold weather, or what, the van walked all the way, but there was no one on the road.

Fortunately.

Just when Gu Jianjun's van was approaching the village committee.

Finally met someone.

It was a woman in a headscarf.

The woman's body is extremely thin, it is no exaggeration to say that she is as skinny as a stick, and she is drawing water from the well.

"Hello there!"

Gu Jianjun stopped the car and poked his head out: "Can I ask, how can I get to Mr. Zhao's house?"

The woman was obviously taken aback, and the bucket in her hand fell into the well, and then hurriedly turned her head to look at Gu Jianjun in the car and Gu Xiu who was sitting behind.

Before, the woman turned her back to the two of them, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but now she turned around and realized it.

This woman turned out to be very beautiful.

The eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and the facial features are correct.

It's a pity that it seems that due to long-term labor and poor nutrition, the woman's face has no brilliance, and her eyes are also lifeless.

"Hello, can I trouble you to ask, how can Laoshi Zhao go?" Gu Jianjun was not impressed by the beauty of the woman in front of him, and he still did not forget his original intention.

But he didn't expect that his words seemed to remind the woman, not only did the woman not answer.

on the contrary……

She turned around and ran!

The speed was so fast that even before Gu Jianjun realized it, the woman had already flashed into an alley and disappeared.

"what happened?"

"Just asking for the way, is it necessary to run like this?"

"Do I look so bad?"

Gu Jianjun's face was full of bewilderment, and he even doubted whether his appearance was a little too scary.

Gu Xiu was also puzzled.

Fortunately, at this moment, an old man appeared out of nowhere and approached the two people's car:

"Young man, are you looking for Mr. Zhao?"

Chapter 192 I delivered the baby myself

The sudden sound startled both father and son.

look back.

I saw an old woman in her 70s and [-]s, with bound feet and a headscarf, who was beside the car at some point.

I don't know where it came from.

However, even though the old man was elusive, the expression on his face was extraordinarily kind and kind:

"I just heard you inquiring about Zhao Laoshi, do you have anything to do with him?"

"Auntie, do you know where Laoshi Zhao's home is?"

"Our village is so big, of course I know that." The old woman nodded, but before Gu Jianjun asked, the old woman said again:

"However, you have to tell me, what is the matter with him?"

"otherwise."

"What if you are a bad person?"

While speaking, the old woman glanced at Gu Xiu.

There was something inexplicable in the eyes.

"Oh, that's right."

"Auntie, do you know that the child of Zhao Laoshi's family was picked up. I think that child may belong to one of my sisters. I want to talk about it."

Gu Jianjun spoke honestly.

After all, it's all in the village, so there's nothing to hide, just tell the truth and ask.

Even Gu Xiu, who was at the side, couldn't help frowning, but his father said everything, and he didn't stop him immediately, but looked around from time to time.

"Child from Zhao Laoshi's family? Are you talking about Zhao Tongtong?" The old woman's expression froze and she asked strangely:

"How do you say you picked it up?"

"Oh, let's hear..."

"Grandma, let's listen to others." Before Gu Jianjun could speak, Gu Xiu spoke first:

"The man said that he was drinking with Grandpa Zhao. Once he was drunk, he asked Grandpa Zhao why the child didn't look like him at all. Grandpa Zhao said that he picked up the child."

"So we inquired."

Gu Jianjun was a little strange.

I don't quite understand why Gu Xiu lied, but it doesn't matter after all.

Still nodded.

On the contrary, the old woman's face softened, as if she was thinking about something, seeing Gu Jianjun looking at her, she shook her head immediately:

"I also said where did you hear it? Can this person count when he's drunk? Zhao Tongtong is Zhao Laoshi's granddaughter."

"Huh?" Gu Jianjun was stunned.

"Do you know why I'm so sure?"

"Because I was the one who delivered Zhao Tongtong back then."

"When the child was first born, he just didn't cry. At that time, many people were frightened. Later, he invited a witch to perform the ritual. Unexpectedly, he started to cry not long after."

"Tsk tsk, that sound is so loud, I feel like the roof is about to collapse."

"It's just a pity, not long after the baby was born, her mother disappeared, and Lao Zhao's son went to work in anger, leaving Lao Zhao and his wife to lead the charge."

"As for the kid not being like Old Zhao, it's true."

"But that child is very similar to his mother. According to what was said on TV, it should be inherited from his mother's genes."

The old woman shook her head and answered.

He even explained it in detail, even the matter of delivering the baby at the beginning.

But Gu Jianjun's heart sank when he heard her words.

Didn't pick it up?

Is it biological?

Doesn't this mean that Zhao Tongtong and Zhou Rong really have nothing to do with each other?

"Grandma, why does sister Zhao Tongtong have a Zhou County accent in her accent?" Gu Xiu blinked and asked.

"Ah?" The old woman was stunned: "What accent?"

Gu Jianjun also hurriedly asked: "Zhouxian accent, that child is not Jiangzhou accent, he has a Zhouxian accent!"

"Oh, oh, maybe I learned it from her mother." The old woman replied casually.

But Gu Xiu tilted his head:

"But grandma, didn't you say that Zhao Tongtong's mother passed away not long after she was born, how can she still learn to speak?"

"Ah?" The old woman's expression was a little unnatural, but she replied immediately:

"The child's mother is gone, but there are also uncles and grandparents. Speaking of which, when the child was first born, he went to her grandmother's house for a long time."

"I brought it back when I was five years old."

"You also know that at that time it was time to learn to speak, and it was normal to learn some accents from other places."

Speaking of this, this series of coincidences has almost been resolved.

At least, Gu Jianjun was completely disappointed in his heart, but after all, he came and asked:

"Auntie, can you please lead the way, shall we go and see the child with our own eyes?"

"What's the matter, let's go, it's not easy for you to drive, there are small roads everywhere, you can't go by car." The old woman looked very bold, and nodded immediately.

Without any hesitation, Gu Jianjun stopped the car on the side of the road and followed the old woman towards the village.

There was a little silence on the road.

Unlike him, Gu Xiu seemed very talkative:

"Grandma, why is there no one in your village?"

"Isn't it popular to go to the city to work now? Everyone has gone to the city to work, and there are only some old people left in the village."

"What about the child, why don't there even be any children? My father's hometown village is full of children at this time."

"Oh, isn't it a holiday? Most of the children have gone out of town with their parents. They have no future in our small village."

"Grandma, the village is full of old people. Don't you need to do farm work? What do you eat?"

"The children have all gone to work, just send money back. For an old man like me, do you still expect to work in the fields? You can't do it long ago."

"But……"

"It's here!" Before Gu Xiu could ask again, the old woman stopped at the door of a thatched cottage:

"This is Mr. Zhao's house, it's just strange, as if no one is here."

With that said, the old woman walked up to the door, knocked a few times, and yelled a few times, the voice was quite loud.

But unfortunately.

No one answered.

"Strange, did you go to the child's grandma's house?" the old woman muttered, and leaned over to the window to look in.

After a while, he shook his head at the two of them:

"It seems that you are here by accident. They should be going to the grandma's house. I met Mr. Zhao yesterday, and he said that he is going to the grandma's house in the next few days."

"Now it seems that I should go today, or you should come back another day?"

"I'm afraid that's the only way to go." Gu Jianjun shook his head, a little disappointed.

On the other hand, Gu Xiu, who was at the side, suddenly shouted:

"Dad, I need to pee!"

"If you want to pee, go pee. Why are you shouting so loudly?" Gu Jianjun rolled his eyes.

Gu Xiu chuckled: "Isn't it urgent for me to pee?"

"Go! Go! Go."

"Dad, you have to wait for me." Gu Xiu said, then turned around and slipped to the other side of the house.

Gu Jianjun didn't think much about it.

After a few minutes, Gu Xiu came back again, Gu Jianjun had nothing to say, and took Gu Xiu back to the van again.

"Young man, you are worried about losing your child. I understand that, but Zhao Tongtong is indeed the child of the old Zhao family."

"Don't be too disappointed."
