When Xu Lizhong heard what Lu Zhiyao said solemnly, he puffed up his chest and replied loudly: "I understand, chief."
Lu Zhiyao nodded, pointed to the photo he took, and said: "Lizhong, this is one of my college classmates, named Zhao Han. He is from Zijiang County, K City, but I don't know which town it is from." Which village is she from? I haven't seen her for 25 years. Now I need to find her for something very important. You must find her before December 2nd and learn more about her current situation: where she lives, what she does for a living, Who is her husband, how many children do she have, and are there any difficulties at home... Remember: it is best not to contact her in person during the investigation. You can ask the surrounding neighbors or the local streets, and people from the neighborhood committee will inquire from the side to find out more. After that, you come back and report to me immediately. Let me emphasize one more point: this must be kept absolutely confidential. Even Xiao Guo, you cannot reveal even half of it."
Xu Lizhong looked carefully at the beautiful girl in the photo, nodded and said: "Chief, don't worry, as long as I have the photo, I will definitely find her within the stipulated time."
Lu Zhiyao shook his head and said: "Li Zhong, it's not that simple. The photo in your hand was taken more than twenty years ago. At that time, the person in the photo had just turned twenty and was still a little girl. Now After more than 20 years, she has become a middle-aged woman, and her appearance will change greatly. Therefore, I suggest you go to the Zijiang County Public Security Department first and show your position as deputy director of the Second Secretary Division of the Provincial Party Committee General Office. Just say that you want to know more about Zhao Han's specific situation and ask them to pull up her household registration information, then you can easily find her address and workplace."
Xu Lizhong actually thought of this method from the beginning. However, after listening to Secretary Lu's suggestion, he still pretended to have a sudden realization and said: "Okay, I will check according to the method instructed by the chief. I estimate that one or two The task can be completed within days,”
After Xu Lizhong left, Lu Zhiyao sank into the leather seat, resting his forehead with his right hand, frowning slightly, and fell into memories of the past...
Lu Zhiyao is a native of Xijing City, the capital of a northwest province. He was born in the late 1950s. His father is the head of the Chinese Department of Xijing University and a famous master of Chinese studies. His grandfather is a former Qingju man, so they The family is a typical scholarly family, which highly respects traditional Chinese literature and etiquette, and follows the tradition of Chinese scholars in many details of life.
For example, although Lu Zhiyao was born in the 1950s, his father still named him Lu Yuan, with the Chinese character "Zhiyuan", according to the old tradition. In formal occasions, such as sacrifices, genealogy, and reading, he was named Lu Zhiyuan. The character line uses the name "Lu Zhiyao"; on other occasions, he is called "Lu Zhiyuan", so "Lu Zhiyao" is his official name, and "Lu Zhiyuan" is equivalent to his Nickname or nickname.
In the late 1960s, due to the political environment at that time, Lu Zhiyao's father was sent to a cowshed for labor reform. Lu Zhiyao himself was sent to the northwest plateau before graduating from high school in the early 1970s. Be an educated youth.
There, he met his later wife, Gu Huaying, the daughter of Gu Shenghao, the former minister of a certain department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
At that time, Gu Shenghao was also beaten down, and the children in the family were scattered in various directions. Gu Huaying herself chose to join the team in the northwest plateau and become an educated youth.
Gu Huaying and Lu Zhiyao were placed in the same brigade. She was three years older than him, taller and thicker, with an average appearance, but a very fierce personality and inherited her old man's fiery temper.
Gu Huaying was sent to that brigade before Lu Zhiyao. When Lu Zhiyao passed by, she fell in love with this handsome, elegant and talented brother at a glance. After learning that he had not found a partner yet, she started to pursue him enthusiastically. She continued to write love letters to him, and went to his cave from time to time to clean him and wash his clothes. Every time her family brought some delicious food from the capital, she tried her best to save it for those who were not full every day. Lu Zhiyuan eats rice.
However, Lu Zhiyao had no feelings for her at all. He had been familiar with Chinese and foreign classics since he was a child, and had his own understanding and pursuit of love. The girlfriend he longed to find was the kind of Xiaojiabiyu who was pure in appearance, elegant in temperament, docile and virtuous. , instead of a noble, powerful and aggressive woman like Gu Huaying. What's more, she is more than three years older than him, which is even more difficult for him to accept.
Therefore, every time he received a love letter from Gu Huaying, he never replied; when Gu Huaying wanted to come to do housework and wash clothes for him, he tried his best to avoid it; when Gu Huaying wanted to give him something to eat, he would give it to the male educated youth in the dormitory. Share it together, anyway, I don’t want to give her any illusions or opportunities.
Gu Huaying also felt his coldness, but she never flinched or was discouraged, and persevered in her pursuit of love.
Once, when Gu Huaying returned to the capital, he learned from his father, who had been reinstated as an official: He and Lu Zhiyao's father, Professor Lu Jiaqi, had been close friends before the liberation. However, after the liberation, one went to the capital and the other stayed. Xijing, so there is very little traffic.
When Gu Huaying heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and begged her father to write to Lu Jiaqi as soon as possible and propose marriage to him in person.
Gu Shenghao doted on his little daughter, whose personality was very similar to his own, so he followed her request and wrote a letter to Professor Lu Jiaqi, who had been liberated from the cowshed. He first talked about his old friendship, and then tactfully wrote to He suggested that his daughter Gu Huaying and his noble son Lu Zhiyao were jumping in the same team. The two young men were a good match. Could they form a good couple between Qin and Jin?
Lu Jiaqi had always admired Gu Shenghao very much and knew that his upbringing was very strict. He believed that his daughter would not be any worse, so he quickly replied to the letter and happily agreed to Gu Shenghao's request for marriage.
At the same time, Lu Jiaqi also wrote a letter to Lu Zhiyao, telling him: He has made an appointment for him, that is, Gu Huaying, the daughter of Gu Shenghao, the current minister of a certain central department, and the girl is now with you. A large team jumps in line. You two young people should have a good exchange and get married as soon as you return to the city...
The Lu family is a typical family of poetry and calligraphy. The most important thing is filial piety and etiquette. One of the points of filial piety is that you must obey your parents' orders in matters of marriage and not follow the whims of young people.
Lu Zhiyao also knew this, but he really couldn't feel any love for Gu Huaying. On the contrary, he still had an instinctive aversion and disgust towards her. He felt that if he married such a wife, even though he might have feelings for her, My future career and future will be helpful, but in terms of love and family, it will definitely be a tragedy.
So, he bravely wrote a letter to his father, hoping that he would change his original intention and stop forcing himself to fall in love with Gu Huaying.
However, his father quickly wrote back, scolding him and threatening that if he did not follow his wishes and marry the daughter of the Gu family, he would never go home to see him again.
