Chapter 77 Return to Yunnan
Tong Dayong drove to the company, walked to Huang Jinquan's office door and knocked gently. It was approaching the afternoon work time, and he was usually in the office at this time.
"Please come in." Huang Jinquan was indeed inside. Tong Dayong opened the door and went in, told him about the difficulties that Ah Dian encountered in finding a child in Yunnan, and asked for two or three days' leave.
Huang Jinquan was very happy when he heard that Ah Dian had found the child. After all, he and Zeng Youdian were friends. So he readily agreed to Tong Dayong's request, "Dayong, go ahead, I will help you with your work."
, and Liu Qing and the others are here, so nothing will happen."
After coming out of Huang Jinquan's office, Tong Dayong drove to Huangtian International Airport.
Since there are no flights to Zhenxiong, the nearest airport is Guiyang Longdongbao Airport, so Tong Dayong had to buy a ticket to Guiyang.
After buying the ticket, Tong Dayong called the number in Chen Lan's office again, and this time Chen Lan received the call.
"Xiaolan, I'm going back to Yunnan for two or three days. You should take care of yourself. Remember to lock the door when you go to bed at night."
Chen Lan was a little surprised when she heard that Tong Dayong suddenly wanted to go back to his hometown, "Brother, what are you going back for? Is there anything going on at home?"
Tong Dayong told Chen Lan about Ah Dian.
After Chen Lan knew that Tong Dayong would not live in the house in Hexi Village these days, she was a little scared. After all, she was a girl, and it was difficult to adapt to living in an empty house suddenly.
"Brother, I will be scared if you leave and live alone in the house!"
Tong Dayong thought for a moment, "Let's do this, Xiaolan, you can bring a colleague to the house to keep you company. I will be back in two days."
"Okay then, I will bring a friend to live with me in the next two days. You can go without worry and don't worry about me."
It was already around five o'clock in the afternoon when Tong Dayong arrived in Guiyang. It was still almost three hundred kilometers away from Guiyang to Zhenxiong, and only buses could get there.
After walking out of the airport, Tong Dayong took a taxi to Guiyang Bus Station and bought a ticket to Zhenxiong. Since Zhenxiong is not a place with a large passenger flow, there are not buses going there at any time, so
What Tong Dayong bought was the last bus to Zhenxiong today, which would leave at seven o'clock.
After checking the time, there was still more than an hour left, so Tong Dayong had to find a small restaurant to have dinner, and waited at the station for almost an hour before getting on the bus bound for Zhenxiong.
After five or six hours of long and bumpy driving, Tong Dayong finally arrived in Zhenxiong County at about one o'clock in the morning. As soon as he got off the bus, a bunch of people came up to solicit guests for accommodation.
Tong Dayong didn't care about that anymore, so he followed a solicitor to a hotel, spent fifty yuan to stay in a shabby single room, and fell asleep.
While Tong Dayong was still packing his luggage at his residence in Hexi Village, Xu Bingbing had already called him and said that she would be arriving in Hengdian soon and everything was fine.
On the way to Yunnan, Tong Dayong and Xu Bingbing texted and chatted whenever they had free time. Xu Bingbing said that after she arrived in Hengdian, everything went smoothly. The director was very satisfied with her performance, except that the female lead was a bit slutty.
Apart from that, the other actors and staff are very easy to get along with.
Tong Dayong said, adapt slowly. It will definitely take a few days to adapt to a new environment. As for getting along with others, try to be kind and polite. Those who are difficult to get along with, just stay away from them.
Early the next morning, after Tong Dayong made a phone call to Ah Dian, he boarded the Zhongba bus bound for Weisa Township and walked for more than three hours on the provincial highway of 70 to 80 kilometers.
Tong Dayong met Ah Dian and his wife in a hotel at the market place in Weisa Township. When they saw Tong Dayong, they were very happy and took him to the restaurant downstairs and ordered a few side dishes.
After dinner, I went to ask that family for a baby.
Last night, Ah Dian had already told Tong Dayong that because the other party was too strong and the place was remote, it was inconvenient to call the police, so Ah Dian and his wife had no choice but to return to the village street and stay in the only hotel here.
"How did you find this place?" Tong Dayong asked, looking at Ah Dian and his wife.
A Dian said: "We found out about the place where the couple who bought the baby used to work in Fujian. Fortunately, it was a large factory and the factory was still there. And the factory happened to be recruiting workers, so we went in to apply and became a worker in the factory.
The workers gradually became familiar with the people in the factory, and then they began to inquire about the whereabouts of the couple."
This time Ah Yun's attitude towards Tong Dayong was much better. She said before Ah Dian's words: "Fortunately, the couple who bought our son had a fellow villager who was still working in the factory, and we gradually became friends with him.
, he just told us the addresses of the couple."
Tong Dayong smiled at Ayun, "Great, sister-in-law, as long as we can find the whereabouts of the child, everything will be easy. Didn't you say you have seen the child? Is the child okay?"
Ah Yun rushed to say, "Okay! It's very normal. My hands, feet, facial features, etc. are all fine."
Tong Dayong was a little confused, and Ayun quickly explained: "Dayong, you don't know. They said that some children were sold by traffickers to money scammers. Those scammers maimed the children and put them on the street to ask for money. It's so cruel!"
Hearing this, Tong Dayong's heart ached, "Sister-in-law, just hope the child is safe. I'm happy for you when I hear you found the child."
"Although the child was not harmed, his life was not good. The family was too poor. They didn't have enough food and clothing. The child looked a little malnourished." Ah Dian sighed.
"Is the child over six years old?"
Ayun nodded, "She's almost seven years old, but it seems she hasn't gone to school yet, and there are three girls in their family, so they probably haven't gone to school yet."
"Since you already have three children, why do you need to buy another one?" Tong Dayong asked puzzledly.
"You don't know who they are, and you don't know if those children were bought," Ayun said.
Tong Dayong thought for a moment, "I know, this area is relatively backward, and the mentality of favoring sons over daughters must be very serious. That family probably couldn't have a son, so they bought a son outside to save their face."
"Yes, that's definitely the case."
At this time, the restaurant owner came over and said that two of the dishes they ordered had missing ingredients and could not be cooked. Tong Dayong asked him in Yunnan dialect to fry some ham, potatoes and so on.
Ah Dian asked: "Dayong, how far is your home from here?"
"My home is in Dali, which is far away from here."
"No wonder your accent sounds different to theirs."
"This is close to Guizhou, and what they speak is a bit like Guizhou dialect. But fortunately, they can understand that I am from Yunnan, which is easier than your Cantonese Mandarin."
"It would be nice to have you here. At least they will give you some face because you are from Yunnan," Ah Dian said.
"Have you ever gone to the police station?"
"After searching, they said we had no evidence to prove that the child was ours, and they told us not to provoke those villagers, saying they were very vicious," Ayun said.
