Chapter 1217: Good things come in many ways
As soon as the car entered the village, it caused a sensation, and many people gathered around to see it.
Since it was her first time here and she didn’t know the situation in the village, Xinyan opened the door and got out of the car: “Can I ask how to get to the village chief’s house?”
When everyone heard Xinyan’s question, a child shouted to the adults gathering under a big willow tree not far away to eat: “Uncle village chief, someone is looking for you.”
When the village chief heard that someone was looking for him, he stood up and walked over with a bowl in hand: "Who is looking for me?"
At this time, Wei Fengyuan also stepped out of the car and stepped forward: "Village chief, can you take a step to speak."
The village chief looked at the car parked in the distance and said, "My house is right in front. Let's talk at home."
The car couldn't drive through, so Mr. Gu also got out of the car, and the group walked to the village chief's house.
After entering the courtyard, the village chief shouted into the house: "My dear, we have a visitor at home."
I heard someone in the room respond: "Oh, here we come."
The village chief led people into the main room and then asked: "Why are we looking for me?"
Mr. Gu took out a photo from his pocket: "This photo was taken in your village, right?"
The village chief took the photo and looked at it carefully: "Yes, it was indeed taken in our village. This photo is several years old."
After reading it, he raised his head and looked at Mr. Gu: "Is there anything wrong with this photo?"
Mr. Gu was very excited: "Do you know all the people in this photo?"
The village chief scratched his head and looked at it again: "This photo was taken when the exploration team came to dig a deep well in the village. A reporter happened to pass by and help take the photo. The exploration team stayed here for a few days and then left."
Mr. Gu listened to his words, and his hand holding the photo trembled a little: "Where did you invite the exploration team from?"
Speaking of this, the village chief said with some embarrassment: "The exploration team was not invited by us. They were sent by the superiors to do exploration work in Jigong Mountain. They happened to live in our village and heard that we wanted to drill a deep well. It’s my duty to help.”
I came here full of joy, but I didn’t expect this result.
Mr. Gu was still a little reluctant: "Village Chief, if you think about it again, are there any people in this photo that you can still contact?"
The village chief looked at the photo again. After a long time, he shook his head and said: "Except for a few people from the village, all of them are members of the exploration team. At that time, they only said that they were sent down to take a look, so we couldn't ask specifically."
The photo is not very clear. Although they were wearing work clothes, it was not clear where they were from. At that time, the work clothes in many units were blue labor cloth.
Although I didn’t find anyone directly, the trip was not in vain. They stayed at the village chief's house at night, left some money notes as payment early the next morning, and hurried to the provincial capital.
Except for lunch, I basically spent the whole day in the car. Fortunately, the two of us drove alternately, otherwise it would have been too much.
By the time they arrived in Chengdu, it was already dark.
Find a guest house nearest to the exploration bureau to stay. Mr. Gu was so tired that he didn't even go out to eat, so they brought it back.
Xinyan was afraid that the old man wouldn't be able to bear it, so she made a cup of malted milk with water from the spatial stream, watched the man drink it, and then returned to her room.
The next day, Mr. Gu got up early and saw that Wei Fengyuan hadn't woken up yet, so he went out alone.
When Xinyan heard the noise, she quickly got up to pack up and chased out: "Grandpa, I'm with you."
This is still early before people go to work, so I used to wait: "Grandpa, let's find a place to have breakfast first, and then I will accompany you to get familiar with the place."
Mr. Gu also understood that nothing could be done in this time: "Okay."
Xinyan knew what the old man was thinking: "Grandpa, don't worry, at most we can find the person if we just put in more effort."
How could he not be anxious, but he understood that his granddaughter was right, he had to take care of his health, and he could not worry his wife and daughter at home, nor cause any trouble to his granddaughter and Wei Zi.
The breakfast vendor at this spot had just started preparing to set up shop. Xinyan accompanied her grandpa to the Exploration Bureau to familiarize herself with the place. After they walked around the Exploration Bureau, she came back to find a place to eat.
After that, he brought another copy to Wei Fengyuan before returning to the guest house.
Wei Fengyuan also got up at this moment: "Uncle Gu, I am about to go out to find you."
Xinyan smiled and handed over the breakfast: "Uncle Wei, we brought breakfast back for you."
Wei Fengyuan is such a smart person: “Have you arrived at the Exploration Bureau early in the morning?”
Xinyan nodded: "Well, let's get familiar with the place first, so as not to waste time."
Wei Fengyuan looked at Uncle Gu and took out the photo to look at again. He sighed in his heart and thought: I hope there will be good news today.
While waiting, it always felt like a long time. There was still half an hour before I went to work. Mr. Gu couldn't sit still anymore: "Let's go, someone should be here soon."
