However, there was a lot of movement this year, and there was a wave of excitement everywhere, but Cui Dazhu's little daughter disappeared for a year.
The aunt said that Cui Dazhu said that Xiaoni went to Beijing to see the big boss.
But after coming back a year ago, Xiao Nier seemed to be not doing well.
The strangest thing that the aunt thought at the time was that the upper half of Xiaoni's clothes easily got wet at two points.
At that time, the aunt suspected that Cui Erquan had done something inappropriate.
But the next year, the Cui family of four was buried while digging coal for the winter.
When Du Dayong heard the news, he almost thought the same as the aunt.
Cui Erquan should have married Cui Dazhu's little daughter.
No matter what age you are, when you reach your prime of life, you will have some impulses.
So the aunt asked Du Dayong to find it again.
After all, what Du Dayong heard was just a passing remark. As for whether the person who conveyed it was adding insult to injury, Du Dayong could not guarantee.
When this aunt was invited to the Shangyi County Bureau, she was still a little nervous.
Du Dayong sat across from him and said to the aunt with a smile.
"Auntie, what's your surname?"
"My name is Wang Xinfang, and I am sixty-five years old this year."
The aunt's face turned red and she quickly replied.
"Aunt Wang, my surname is Du, you can just call me Xiao Du. Didn't I hear that you told your relatives about Cui Shanquan? That's why I came to you to verify what you said at that time."
"Officer Xiao Du, I didn't spread rumors! Although I talked a little more, I definitely wouldn't tell lies about things I didn't see."
Du Dayong laughed loudly after hearing this.
"Aunt Wang, how many years have passed, it's very rare that you can even remember the situation at that time."
"Fortunately, there is no old fool."
Aunt Wang was obviously relaxed at this time.
"Aunt Wang, it was Lu Lunian at that time. It has been thirty-eight years ago. It is not easy for you to still remember what happened at that time."
"Officer Xiao Du, mainly at that time I had just given birth to my second daughter. As someone who has given birth to two children, I still don't understand that. There is a difference between milk and water after it has dried! I haven't seen Xiaoni like that.
I didn't even think of going to Shanquan. At that time, Shanquan often took Xiaoni to the kiln entrance to get coal. I thought it was Shanquan who was impulsive."
"Officer Xiao Du, don't you know that at that time, when we were hungry, there were too many women who would unbutton their belts just to get a bite to eat. How many of us would you see that guy from Shanquan who ran all the way here? Sometimes he would just casually hang out in the shack.
Or on the slopes leeward of the wind, in short, it’s not good anywhere! Shanquan was already fifteen years old at that time, and he was still half a boy.”
When Du Dayong heard it, he thought it really made sense.
"Auntie, besides this, what else do you know?"
"Officer Xiao Du, I don't remember much. Anyway, the next winter, in 1967, when I was just pregnant with my third son, I heard from my family that the abandoned kiln at Cui's house collapsed.
All four members of Cui Dazhu’s family were buried.”
"To be honest, I suspected that Shanquan was the cause at that time, but later I heard that Shanquan was in the hospital and there was someone accompanying him, so I didn't think about it."
"However, when Shanquan was receiving the money, I saw him. He looked very sad, but I didn't think so. People shed just a few tears when they are sad. Now that I think about it, I think it was fake sadness."
Du Dayong listened and recorded.
"Aunt Wang, if there is anything else that you think was wrong at the time, tell me in one go."
"What else? More than a dozen people were buried that year. I don't know some things. Maybe the remaining people know something!"
"Aunt Wang, there are three families in total, Cui Dazhu's family of four, Liu Jiefang's family of four, and Luo Jiahui's family of three, a total of eleven people. These were all counted at the time, and the other two were also extinct. This
We all confirmed it from the son of the old mine manager at the time."
"It's impossible. There are four people in Widow Luo's family. They are not from our area. They came from the city to steal coal for the winter. How is it possible that there are only three people in Widow Luo's family?"
"Aunt Wang, how do you know the four members of Widow Luo's family?"
"Police Officer Xiao Du, it was my damn old man who said this. He said that Widow Luo's family consists of four people, and they also have a daughter. Widow Luo had a daughter with a young leader after her husband died. Although Widow Luo is a widow, her figure and appearance are still the same.
Yes, there were quite a few men who had ideas about her back then!"
"My damn old man drove for that little leader. If others don't know, doesn't he know? Even my damn old man didn't even move his eyes when he looked at Widow Luo. Officer Xiao Du, think about it, Luo
Does the widow have an average figure and appearance? I myself think that I am not as good as her!"
"Aunt Wang, is that little leader still there?"
"He died before Widow Luo. Otherwise, how could my old man take the blame for so long? Lu Lu died in the second half of the year. You don't know how serious the situation was at that time. My old man said he died very miserably."
Du Dayong seemed to understand the general situation.
