Xu Dapao, how could someone be called such a name? It sounds like he is not a serious person!

"Auntie, this Xu Dapao you mentioned, is it his real name or his nickname?"

"What a great name!" The old lady was also a sentimental person, and couldn't help but tell Jiang Yan the origin of the name Xu Dapao.

"It was said that when he was in the countryside, he didn't have enough to eat. At that time, there were wars everywhere. It was good to be alive. How could he expect to have enough food? So he named him Xu Dabao, hoping that he would have enough food to eat in the future. After the victory, when they registered their household registration, this character was written wrongly, and it was written as Xu Dapao."

After the old lady finished speaking, she laughed heartily, "He is about the same age as me. From then on, I called him Xu Dapao..."

"My cousin's name is Xu Li, so he's not the person I'm looking for. Thank you, Auntie. I'll go ask someone else."

"Hey, girl, don't leave. It's such a big factory, where can you find it? And you're carrying so many things. If the auditors catch you and accuse you of betrayal, what will you do?"

In order to get a bite of meat, the old lady even used military tactics.

"Auntie, don't scare me. I'm timid."

The old lady wanted to laugh, but she lectured her with a stern face, "I am not trying to scare you. I am telling you this from the bottom of my heart. I treat you like my own child."

Yeah!

Jiang Yan whispered, "What should I do? I have a lot of things in my backpack, including the bacon my mother pickled and the old hen we raised at home. If I can't find anyone, the old hen will go bad."

The aunt swallowed her saliva, and two words were written in her eyes: Want it!

Of course she didn't ask for it for free, she paid for it.

Even though the wages at the paper mill were not low and the benefits were good, people couldn’t buy anything and the whole country was tightening its belt to make ends meet!

The old lady's brain started working rapidly and she actually came up with a good idea.

"I'm going to give you some advice, listen to it and see if it works."

"Ma'am, you say."

The old lady lobbied hard, "Look, your uncle's name is Xu Li, and your sister's name is Xu Hui, right?"

Jiang Yan nodded.

"Although this Xu Dapao is not your uncle, his daughter is called Xu Hui. People have a problem that they will pay attention to people with the same name as themselves. Who knows, maybe this Xu Hui really knows your cousin!"

"I'll call Xu Hui and bring him to you. If you ask, you might be able to find your uncle."

It is said that people tend to feel sleepy when they are full, but their brains work faster when they are hungry!

Look, the auntie’s awareness has solved the problem, hasn’t it?

"Okay, Auntie, thank you." Jiang Yan stood up and bowed to the Auntie.

"Oh, no, it's just a small matter."

The old lady stood up quickly and went to look for someone. Jiang Yan hurriedly followed her out.

"Hey, why are you following me? You don't have to go."

Jiang Yan pointed to the house and said, "There's no one else in this room, so I'd better wait outside!"

"It's so cold outside, you'll get frozen. Besides, there's nothing valuable in the house, just stay here, I won't cheat you."

She pushed Jiang Yan lightly and asked her to go into the house. She put on a scarf and went out to find Xu Hui.

It is said that people from Northeast China are honest and open-minded!

About twenty minutes later, the old lady and a woman in her thirties walked in together.

The woman was short, estimated to be about 1.5 meters tall, and her face had Kanto features.

People in Northeast China are tall, with three-dimensional facial features and high nose bridges, which are said to have evolved to adapt to the cold climate.

Of course, we can't generalize. There are many petite girls in Northeast China. Are they all concentrated essence?

Except for the small days, except for the small days, except for the small days.

Say the important thing three times.

"Girl, I brought someone to you."

"Hui Er, this is the girl I told you about who came to look for her relatives."

While Jiang Yan was looking at Xu Hui, Xu Hui was also looking at Jiang Yan.

Her gaze lingered on Jiang Yan's hair, face, and even hands for a little longer. Finally, she looked down at her shoes, then greeted Jiang Yan with a smile.

"Are you here to visit relatives?"

Although he knew it was intentional, there was still a hint of wariness in his eyes.

She looked at the details on her face and hands to see if she was from the country, whether her skin was rough, whether there was mud in the cracks between her nails, whether there were calluses on her hands, and even these were the details she wanted to observe.

Looking at your shoes is to see whether they are dirty or not and how much you have walked. It can also be used to infer whether you are from the countryside or just pretending.

Fortunately, she tidied herself up again in the space, making sure nothing was out of place, no matter how big or small.

If an ordinary person can think of this, how could a ghost hunter like her not think of it?

"Ah, look for my cousin. His name is Xu Li, about this tall. Oh, by the way, my mother said he has a scar on his eyebrow, at this position." Jiang Yan gestured at the end of his eyebrow with her hand. "I'm young and haven't seen him. Do you know him?"

"I do know a man named Xu Li, but he has no daughters, only two sons, and he doesn't have a scar on his eyebrow. His hometown is in the Western Province."

Jiang Yan sighed helplessly, "That's definitely not the case."

"I also know another one named Xu Hui, but the ages don't match. How old is your cousin?"

"My mother couldn't remember clearly. She said it was in 1937 or 1938."

The woman shook her head. “No, that guy is only in his early twenties.”

"Oh, I just can't say it. We haven't been in touch for many years, how can I find you?" Jiang Yan was anxious and angry, with tears welling up in her eyes.

The woman seemed to care about her, "Hey, are you still looking for it?"

"I don't know." Jiang Yan just said: "This is my first time in Beijing. I don't know where to stay at night."

The woman took advantage of the situation and said, "You have the letter of introduction, right? There is a guesthouse in our factory area. You can stay there if you have the letter of introduction."

It can be confirmed that she is Yamaguchi Koeko.

Jiang Yan dug in his pocket and took out a square piece of paper. "I brought it."

The woman smiled and said, "Let me take a look. If everything is ok, I'll take you to stay at the guesthouse. There are a lot of people there. You can ask around and maybe you can find it."

"Oh, okay, thank you." Jiang Yan looked very surprised and handed over the paper in her hand.

Xu Hui opened the letter of introduction and checked it word by word.

The place of origin and destination were written clearly, the reason was "looking for relatives", and the date, work stamp, and the name of the person who issued the letter of introduction were all written clearly below.

Now Xu Hui was completely relieved, as long as it wasn't directed at her.

"Don't worry, I'll take you there now." After saying that, he returned the letter of introduction to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan stood up and was about to go with her, but was stopped by the aunt, "Xiao Xu, go and do your thing. I'll chat with this girl for a while and I'll take her there later."

Xu Hui has always been a person who doesn't fight for anything. She nodded slowly and said, "That's fine." It's better to have less trouble than more, so she decided to just stay calm.

As soon as Xu Hui left, the old lady revealed her true colors and said to Jiang Yan with a smile, "Miss, do you want to sell the things in your basket?"
