The farthest place Chen Mingzhu has ever been is the small county town on her side . She is very embarrassed when she comes to such a big city for the first time . She carried a schoolbag on her back, which contained several changes of clothes . Holding the jar all the time .
Li Xinyun had been curious about the jar for a long time . He couldn't help asking, "what's in this jar?"
Chen Mingzhu said, "it's pickles . I personally pickled pickles . My father likes it very much . Every year he comes back, he takes several jars with him, saying that it has the flavor of his hometown . "
I never thought I could eat salted vegetables any more . No matter how much you like, you will get tired of eating too much . No, it may not be like it . It may just be that I just want to save money . But now she is not the one who used to talk but can't hurt people directly by saying such words . On the contrary, she echoed: "yes, every time I go out to travel, I miss my family's food after a few days of eating . "
Fang Junrong looked at her daughter with a faint smile .
They are not rush hour at this time point, the bus is not crowded, everyone has a seat . With the air conditioner on, Fang Junrong was not carsick . On the contrary, Fang Tian, who was just in the car, was busy uploading the interview content to her account number, facing her mobile phone all the time . In addition, the road was not peaceful and bumpy . After a while, she began to feel dizzy .
"Aunt, do you have any medicine for carsickness?" Her small face was so white that she didn't look as high as she had been an hour ago, and her drooping eyes were a little more pitiful .
Fang Junrong said: "try some preserved fruit first? I picked them myself and dried them
She opened her bag and took out a packet of dried peaches . The peach was picked from the cave . It contains some aura . It should make her feel comfortable . There is no way to take fruit when traveling . Fang Junrong can't take fruit out of the cave directly and tell them that they bought it by themselves . So they can simply make the fruit dry and carry it easily .
Fang Tian tasted it, his eyes brightened up, "delicious! I like it! Aunt, you've made a good profit
Fang Junrong smiles but does not speak: clearly is the fruit in the cave is good .
Each bag of dried fruit is not much, that is about 50 grams . Fang Tian finished eating three or two times, and then looked at Fang Junrong with the wet eyes like a dog, and his whole body was emitting the breath of "I want to" .
She remembered that her niece had been abroad for most of the past year, and she had not eaten much of her cave! Fruit in the sky .
"I put the rest in the suitcase . There are only a few bags in the bag . I'll give you all to eat . " On the bus, she must not be able to open her luggage .
She took a bag to Fang Tian, and divided Li Xinyun and Chen Mingzhu into one . She didn't eat it herself . She preferred freshly picked fruit to dried fruit . As the saying goes, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality . In this regard, she is becoming more and more critical .
Chen Mingzhu had preserved fruit and felt the sweet and sour taste . It was the first time that she had such a delicious preserved fruit . She remembered when she was five years old when her mother died and her father came back . At that time, she was crying . Many people said that she didn't have a mother . Sooner or later, her father would not want her . At that time, her father held her and opened a bag of dried fruit that she brought back specially for her to eat and coax her .
The fruit was dry, sour and sweet, with the aroma of fruit . The first time she ate this, she just froze and forgot to cry . Later, every time her father came back, he would bring her some snacks and let her eat them secretly . Chocolate chips and lollipops, she ate several snacks he brought back, but the most unforgettable was the dried fruit .
Later, although my father worked outside most of the time, he would remember to send her a gift every birthday . He told her to study hard and said that he would take her out to see the outside world one day .
Her father's dark and honest face appeared before her eyes, and her eyes were red . But she didn't want to be found crying . She lowered her head and quickly wiped the tears out of her eyes with her fingers .
Chen Mingzhu didn't finish the bag of dried fruit . After eating a few, she carefully put it away . You can't eat such delicious food in one breath . I'll give it to my cousin . Although her uncle's family was not very good to her, she was very grateful for her care after her mother died . Sometimes she wanted to leave something good for her .
She turned her head and looked out of the window at such a high house that she had only seen in books and on the TV of her uncle's house next door . On the road, the traffic is turbulent, the sun is on the body, and the wind is vaguely mixed with the smell of gasoline .
Is this the city where dad lives? It looks good .
She looked at it without blinking, reluctant to miss a scenery .
……
It was already six o'clock in the afternoon when they got to the destination they had written on the paper . Because of the summer, the sky is still bright, especially today, the weather is very good, the whole sky is red by fire clouds, like a painting .
That address is a bit partial, they asked! After the local people, under the leadership of the kind people, finally came to the staff dormitory .
Looking from the outside, the staff dormitory has three floors . The old yellow building is full of traces of years . There are children's graffiti on the side walls and a lot of moss in the corner . The corridor outside is full of clothes of all sizes, and the atmosphere of life is rich . There are many people collecting clothes in the corridor . Fang Junrong stood downstairs for a while and asked Chen Mingzhu, "go upstairs?"
She remembered that the paper had her father Chen Gensheng's dormitory number, in room 304 .
Looking up at Chen Mingzhu on the third floor, she comes back to her senses and subconsciously hugs the jar . Obviously, the child is very nervous now .
Perhaps because of the company, although Chen Mingzhu was very nervous, she still went upstairs . The security work of this dormitory building is not good . They came in with obviously strange faces, and no one asked .
On the third floor, they looked at the number and found 304 .
Fang Junrong found that the clothes hanging in the corridor at the gate of 304 were obviously from a family of three . Men, women and baby clothes .
Li Xinyun also noticed this, and his face sank . Because of Li's fault, she was more sensitive in this respect than others, and her heart suddenly felt aggrieved by Chen Mingzhu . After this journey, she still has a good feeling for Chen Mingzhu .

Chen's fist is tight, and he knocks on the door . This door is of the iron type . When it is knocked, the sound is very loud .
"Who is it?"
A man's voice faintly sounded, after a while, the door opened, a Chinese character face man looked at them suspiciously, "who are you looking for?" Beside him stood a woman with a slight build .
Chen Mingzhu was relieved and said, "I'm looking for my father . "
Seeing her reaction, Fang Junrong knew that this man was not her father . A daughter can't even recognize her own father . So is Chen Gensheng moving?
"Who is your father? Did you knock on the wrong door? There is no one I don't know in this building . Please give me a name! I'll read it for you
I can see that this is still a warm-hearted man .
"My father's name is Chen Gensheng . " Chen Mingzhu said, enunciating clearly, "didn't he live here before? He sent me a letter . That's the address . "
The expression of the Chinese character face man's face was stiff with naked eyes, "ah, so you are the daughter of root . "
The man said, "Gensheng, he has moved away and doesn't live in this building . I just moved it some time ago . " He rubbed his face with a strange expression . His wife shut up in the middle of her speech .
"Where does he live now?"

The man touched his head and showed his teeth with exaggeration, "I think, I don't remember very well . Well, I've been working overtime recently, which makes my memory worse and worse . "
Chen Mingzhu asked, "can you tell me where my father works? I can go straight to his unit to find him . "
"I, I haven't seen him for more than a year, and I really want to miss him very much . He said he would come back to see me . I've been waiting for him
Fang Junrong saw the man's wife on the spot red eyes, don't go too far . This reaction is obviously very wrong .
Can't you? If so, it would be cruel to Chen Mingzhu .
A guess appeared in Fang Junrong's mind, and his expression became dignified .
"I haven't been in touch with him lately, so I don't know where he lives now . I'll call and ask . Don't cry The man's voice softened down, and then he walked into the room . Because he was calling in the room, they didn't understand what he was saying outside the door .
Five minutes later, the man came back and said to them, "I just called Gensheng's unit . Where's your father? He's very important to the company, so he was sent out on a business trip . He won't be back until a while . Why don't you go home first? We don't have the key to his house . We can't take you there . "
He sighed, felt out a cigarette, wanted to smoke, but saw Chen Mingzhu, or put the cigarette back into his pocket .
Chen Mingzhu's tears fell on the spot . She looked sad and her voice was very light .
"Uncle, you don't have to lie to me . Is my father gone?"
