An Zixi's ability to find things is much better than Aunt Niu and the others! She did this in her previous life! As long as the things are hidden, they will definitely leave some distinctive marks. No matter how hard you try to cover them up, there will be

Clues are left behind. In the future generations with advanced technology, there are various ways to hide things, and technological products for finding things are also developed accordingly.

In this era where technology is still relatively backward, where will an old man who has been dead for many years take his things?

An Zixi thought about the original owner's uncle, would the things be given to his son? People of this era must have some patriarchal thoughts in their thinking! It is not unusual to give important things to their sons.

It's just that the original owner's uncle left home many years ago. If you think carefully, it was many years ago. Will the original owner's grandfather really trust him to hand over the things?

Moreover, Zhao Guofu contacted the people in Xiaoqian Village again and again to plot against her, proving that the things were probably still at home. Otherwise, he could have investigated the original owner's uncle, so why waste time on the original owner.

An Zixi was confident in her judgment, so she searched again. She even looked on the roof beams, on the bricks of the bricks, and in the cracks in the walls, but still found nothing.

Is it the wrong direction, or is there simply no such letter at home?

An Zixi sat on the kang, recalling what the home looked like when she first walked in. She compared the picture in her mind with what she saw in front of her, and suddenly realized that something was missing in the house.

That picture frame!

After deciding to rent the house to Aunt Niu, she put all the sundries in the cabinets and carried them to the west room, but she accidentally placed the only photo frame in the house into the space.

Because there are only a few photos of the family in the photo frame, including those of An Meiyun, the original owner, and a photo of mother and daughter.

Is there something in the frame?

There are indeed people who hide things like this.

An Zixi immediately took out the photo frame. She looked at the photo frame carefully and found that it was a photo frame made using the mortise and tenon process. The wood used was ordinary, but this process was not common.

An Zixi found the mechanism, and then carefully took apart the photo frame. After taking off the back of the photo frame, she saw a yellowed letter.

The letter paper was spread flatly on the backboard. An Zixi did not touch it, but only read the words on it carefully.

My daughter Ping'er:

Today, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the country is in crisis. Your mother and I have devoted ourselves to the revolution, and are ready to sacrifice ourselves at any time. You are still in your infancy, and your parents cannot bear to have you lose your life at such a young age, so they can only

I bear the pain to say goodbye to you. Now I entrust you to my fellow villager Anyu. In the future, you will be the daughter of the An family. I wish you a bright future, just like your name, I wish you a safe life.

At the end of the letter are two signatures, father Zhu Wangting and mother Pan Yuekun.

The date is August 1943.

At the bottom of the letter, there is another handwriting. Compared with the previous handwriting, this handwriting looks particularly awkward, like the handwriting of a primary school student who has just learned to hold a pen.

Zhu Ping was born on the eighth day of June, 1943.

An Zixi was stunned after reading it.

So, An Meiyun's surname is not An at all, but Zhu! An Yu, the original owner's grandfather, is just her adoptive father?

Judging from An Meiyun's birth date, she was given away by her biological parents less than a hundred days after she was born. The words at the end should have been written by the original owner's grandfather.

Could it be that this letter is what Zhao Guofu is looking for? Didn’t he say that the letter was written to the original owner’s grandfather? Or did he not know the specific content of the letter!?

There were several question marks in An Zixi's mind!

Things are getting really interesting!

Aunt Niu said that what Zhao Guofu meant was that there might be something else besides the letter. If he found it, he would mail it together with the letter! What did this other thing refer to? From what Zhao Guofu meant, he was not sure if there was anything else.

, just let Aunt Niu find it.

An Zixi put the back panel of the photo frame back together, assembled the photo frame, and restored it to its original space.

She had already searched the house inside and out, and if there was anything there, it was probably gone long ago. However, the importance of this letter should be self-evident, and this was the highlight.

What does Zhao Guofu want with this letter?

An Zixi has some ideas in his mind, but the truth has yet to be determined.

Go back to the county town tomorrow! Take the notice, go to the capital, and have a good meeting with Zhao Guofu.

Just leave!

The next day An Zixi packed his bags and prepared to return to the county.

Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu knew about it and came here to see her off.

"Da Ya, why do you have to leave now!?"

"Ah!" An Zixi put the packed bag aside, "I have to go back to prepare for the start of school, and I have to buy tickets in advance. I'm busy! By the way, uncle and aunt, I have something to entrust you with."

"you say."

An Zixi looked at the room and said with some reluctance: "I'm going back to the capital now, and I don't know when I can come back! Although the things inside and outside this house are not valuable, they are all just thoughts after I leave.

, I would also like to trouble you to come over often and help with maintenance."

"Hey!" Aunt Niu agreed, "Girl, don't worry, I've designated this yard for you to take care of."

"Don't worry! If it rains or snows, I will ask my son to come over to help clean up the roof and clean up the drainage. Nothing will happen." Uncle Niu also agreed.

"Well, Aunt Niu, can you and Uncle Niu farm my land?" An Zixi said helplessly: "I went to school and the land was abandoned. If you want to farm, I will farm it for you and I won't charge you any rent."

She originally wanted to plant this land for Li Jiushan's family. Li Jiushan is the village chief, and he can help take care of everything in the house. But Li Jiushan had previously asked An Zixi to calm down, and suffered a boring loss, which made An Zixi very sad.

She was unhappy, so she simply gave the land to Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu to plant.

Of course Aunt Niu is willing. In the countryside, she relies on the produce of the fields to make a living! The family has a large population and little land, so it’s no wonder the harvest is good! If Anzixi can rent the land to her, she will naturally be willing to plant it.

"It's not okay if we don't collect rent!" Aunt Niu originally felt that she owed An Zixi a lot, so when she heard that she didn't collect rent for farming, of course she didn't want to do it.

"Yes, we cultivate the land, and we have to pay the rent."

An Zixi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Uncle Niu, you help me take care of the house, and I don't have to pay you any wages! You just need to farm the land well and don't let it go barren. Besides, I'm celebrating the New Year. If I can't come back, I'll trouble you."

Go to my mother's and my grandfather's graves to chant, and buy some sacrificial things."

When the old couple heard that this was what they meant, they both fell silent and said, "That's too much."

"That's it!"

Aunt Niu gritted her teeth and agreed, "Okay! Daya, just go to school with confidence, your uncle and I will definitely take good care of this family for you!"

An Zixi nodded and sent the person out personally.

She carried a bag, locked the door, closed it again, and walked all the way towards the town. Just when she reached the entrance of the village, she met Lin Datong. He drove his tractor to the town to buy agricultural machinery parts. I heard that

An Zixi wanted to go back to the county and immediately offered to take her with him.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin!" An Zixi climbed onto the back of the tractor neatly.

"Thank you. You are a college student. I am lucky to have you. I will also take advantage of it. If I go back and let my Zaohua sit in your position, maybe I can get into college in the future!"

It's really possible! After the post-80s generation grew up, universities also expanded their enrollment. It's not easy to get into a good university, but you can still get into a more ordinary university.

After An Zixi arrived in the town, he immediately bought a bus ticket and rode the bus for more than two hours before finally returning to the county.

This trip was uneventful and she didn't encounter another road bully.

When she returned to the Qi family courtyard, Mr. Qi had just finished eating and was about to go for a walk!

"Hey, why are you back!" The old man was startled and felt very annoyed with An Zixi.

"Come back as soon as you finish the work!" An Zixi looked at Old Qi and asked curiously: "Why are you going?"

"Wander around as you like." Qi Shenglin raised his eyebrows, "You clean up your house, and go get something to eat when you're hungry. When I come back, I'll test your soup song. If you answer a question wrong, be careful of me slapping you!"

After saying that, Qi Shenglin walked out with extremely arrogant steps.

An Zixi stuck out her tongue at his back and started to clean up her house.

Old man Qi is a tidy person, and he keeps the courtyard very clean and tidy. There is no dust on the boxes in the east room, and the west room where An Zixi lives is somewhat dusty.

Fetch water, throw in rags, wipe away dust.

An Zixi worked for about half an hour and finally cleaned up the house.

Although Old Man Qi was not here, she did not dare to enter the space to eat. She carried her small bag and went out. She went to the canteen next to the alley to buy a bottle of soda and a piece of bread and went home to gnaw on it.

She wasn't particularly hungry, these two things were enough to fill her stomach.

Most of the time, An Zixi likes to live a quality life. Her money was bought at the cost of her life. If she doesn't use it to enjoy life, why should she let it lie in the bank and collect dust?

But in her line of work, many times she has no control over herself, especially when performing tasks. It would be nice to have something to eat.

After the meal, An Zixi sent the bottle back again, with a two-cent deposit for each bottle.

On the way home, she met two women in an alley.

The mother was in her forties, looked a little haggard, and spoke with a foreign accent. Her daughter seemed to be sulking with her, and kept walking with her head down, without saying a word.

The mother and daughter were so acquainted that they actually rented the small courtyard that Liu Mancang rented before.

The woman unlocked the door, pushed her daughter, and then followed her into the yard while cursing. An Zixi just took a look at it and didn't think there was anything special, so she also entered the yard.

After a while, Old Man Qi came back.

"Have you packed it up?"

"Well, Master, has the house Liu Mancang rented before been rented out?"

"I don't know!" Qi Shenglin shook his head, "I didn't pay attention."
