Chapter 342: Connected

"It's like this. Didn't classmate Lu Huanshan get admitted to Huaqing?

The county has special rewards for these outstanding children, and we are here to give them to them."

Chen Tao looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him carefully. His eyes were sincere and he worked hard to portray himself as a government worker.

The woman quickly put down the dustpan in her hand, and flowers bloomed on her wrinkled face.

"Quick, quick, let the leader come in and sit down. I didn't expect there would be a reward. The town just rewarded me some time ago."

When she entered the house, the woman kicked the boy sitting on the ground and said, "Go and boil some water."

The boy got up from the ground, snorted, threw the "grass roots" in his hand on the dustpan, and ran to the back room.

"You don't have to be so polite. We are just here to express our condolences. Let's see what kind of family can cultivate such good students. Let's see how you two educate your children."

Chen Tao speaks as soon as he opens his mouth and doesn't even make a draft of his lies.

The woman wiped her hands on her pants with some embarrassment.

"The child's father has a leg problem and can't get off the ground. The house is very messy. The leader might as well sit outside in the yard."

Chen Tao came here just to confirm what Lu Huanshan's parents were like and where her father could be missing.

"Sister, just take us in and have a look. There's nothing to be afraid of in a harsh environment. Once you get out of Golden Phoenix, this is a golden nest that won't change for a price."

The woman smiled even more happily: "Okay, I'll take you to see the baby's father."

Chen Tao followed the woman into the house.

The eaves were low, so he had to stoop.

Entering the room and looking around, Chen Tao sighed in his heart.

This is the real family with four walls.

There are no other objects in the room except a long chopping board in the middle, an Eight Immortals table with patched legs in the front, a few simple stools made of wood next to it, and some farm tools stacked against the wall.

The woman entered the room on the left, followed by Chen Tao and Xiao Zhu.

As soon as I entered the door, I smelled an unpleasant medicinal smell.

It's not that the smell of the medicinal materials is unpleasant, but it is particularly unbearable when mixed with the filthy air in the room.

A pale-faced man was half lying on the bed.

Seeing someone enter the room, he slowly moved his body and sat up.

"My father, this is a person from the government. He wants to be rewarded and admitted to Huaqing."

The woman tidied up the scattered clothes in the room and finally made two wooden chairs available for the two of them.

Chen Tao glanced at Xiao Zhu, who went over and gave the man the thousand yuan he had prepared.

Before the man stretched out his hand, the woman took the money.

"I held it, but he couldn't move it. I was busy working inside and outside the house."

The woman took the money and started ordering it in front of her face.

"Last time, the town gave three thousand, but this time the county gave less, only one thousand."

The woman muttered.

The man got angry: "Just take it. It's up to you to be picky with the money awarded by the state."

Compared with the vulgarity of women, men appear to be more educated.

Chen Tao's expression remained unchanged, as if he had not seen the couple's quarrel at all.

"Are you Lu Huanshan's father, Lu Guohua?" Xiao Zhu asked.

The man was very weak and nodded feebly: "If you want to see how we educate our children, you will be disappointed.

The child from Huanshan was able to get into Huaqing because she was willing to work hard and had a good mind. It had nothing to do with us.

In the early years, my legs were not broken, and I could still earn some money for my family, so that she could live a better life.

But now it’s just a burden from my family.”

Chen Tao looked at the woman who took the money and walked out. He hesitated for a while and said, "It seems that my mother doesn't care too much about the child Huan Shan."

Lu Guohua had a look of helplessness on his face: "She is just a rural woman. It is normal to favor sons over daughters."

Chen Tao smiled, hesitated a little and said, "I have met this kid Lu Huanshan, he is very good looking. He has inherited the advantages of you and your wife!"

Lu Guohua's expression became a little unnatural: "That child is president and has a good mind. She can go out, thanks to the country's training."

Chen Tao had some doubts in his heart.

Judging from Lu Guohua's conversation, he doesn't seem to be a native of the countryside.

"I see that you speak very literately." Xiao Zhu lost no time in passing the sentence.

Lu Guohua shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What's the value of culture? Tuo was born in the wrong era, and it's not even worth cow dung. If I didn't have culture back then, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

Looking at the man with some emotion, Chen Tao then started chatting with him.

The two talked intermittently, and the boy in the middle came over to give him some water.

Looking at the dark porcelain bowl, neither Chen Tao nor Xiao Zhu had any intention of drinking water.

Lu Guohua was in a bad state of mind, and after talking for a while he looked a little languid.

Chen Tao and Xiao Zhu stood up to say goodbye.

The woman sent the two people out, and before leaving, she asked: "Are there any rewards later?"

Chen Tao turned around: "I can't tell, eldest sister, please go back first! If there is more, we will come back."

After leaving the small mountain village, Chen Tao felt 89% confident.

The man had been bedridden for many years, which made his mental outlook very bad, but his facial features were straight and clear.

Chen Tao looked carefully and saw that men have thick eyebrows, which are typical of lying silkworm eyebrows. Under the thick eyebrows are single eyelids, and women also have single eyelids.

Both parents have single eyelids, how could they give birth to a child with double eyelids!

The boys who stay at home have single eyelids and go to school in the county. The older boys also have single eyelids.

The only family photo on the wall of the house clearly shows the difference between Lu Huanshan and this family.

After returning to town, Chen Tao called home.

He needs to check Lu Guohua's identity.

The reason for calling home was to ask my father, who was working in the system, to find someone to say hello to the town, so that it would be easier for him to move around.

Chen Tao felt that he would soon be exposed to the truth.

He and Xiao Zhu stayed in the town that night, and went to the household registration department in the town the next day.

Chen Tao saw Lu Guohua's household registration information in the household registration section of the Public Security Bureau.

Lu Guohua, born in 1947, is originally from Nandu, Gan Province, and moved to Ganzhou in 1974.

Chen Tao silently calculated the timeline.

My aunt gave birth to a daughter in 1973 and entrusted her to a good friend when she was less than one year old.

After uncle Zhong Shaoyuan and his family came out of Liyuzhou Farm, they went to inquire about their daughter's whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, the good friend from back then has passed away. It is said that the daughter was entrusted to someone else, but no one knows where that person went.

The search for relatives ended in 1974.

Lu Guohua happened to come from Nandu this year, and Liyuzhou Farm was located on the eastern outskirts of Nandu.

Lu Huanshan should be the child that his uncle entrusted to a friend to take care of.
