Shan Yunfei accompanied Ning Xiaohan, standing in the small living room on the second floor, looking at Chang Ning who was busy running back and forth below through the small window.

Ning Xiaohan couldn't take his eyes off it, and sighed and said, "Lao Dan, it's really like what you and Commander Yang said, he looks exactly like my brother, there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Shan Yunfei said cautiously: "Old girl, I have something to say first, you can ask questions, but you must not be in a hurry, and you can't ask those embarrassing things, if this kid is angry, but Commander Yang will not give face." ”

Ning Xiaohan nodded, this time he took the opportunity to accompany the minister to Zhijiang on a business trip, and specially pulled Shan Yunfei to Qingzhou on a special trip, just to see this young man who looks exactly like his eldest brother, of course, he will not miss the opportunity to face to face, "Since I watched the video you took last time, the old man is talking every day, if he wasn't in good health, he would have dragged my mother to Jiangnan in person." ”

Chang Ning and Liu Tiehong went upstairs with their shoulders on their backs, followed by Du Qiulan and Liu Yuehong, after a fierce drinking battle, both of them reached the point where their buddies were commensurate, and Liu Tiehong was even more drunk, "Old, old single, it's really true that hearing is false, seeing is believing...... He, fuck, Brother Chang, this friend, I, I've made up my ......" Liu Tiehong chattered as he sat down on the sofa and leaned on Ning Xiaohan with a big grin.

Ning Xiaohan frowned, and while pushing Liu Tiehong away, he complained in a low voice: "When you see wine, you go crazy, and you can't change your dead temper." ”

Shan Yunfei hurriedly introduced: "Xiao Chang, you don't know yet, Minister Ning Fu and Master Liu are two people, and Commander Yang personally protected the matchmaker back then. ”

Chang Ning said politely without words: "Master Liu is really a good amount of wine, and he will not fall behind with one enemy and five." ”

"Fuck, brother, aren't you talking nonsense," Liu Tiehong waved his hand and said to Chang Ning, "Brother, you, you are good, good drink...... It's decided, in the future, in the future, we will be buddies, no one, no one is allowed to repent......"

Ning Xiaohan said to Liu Yuehong: "Yuehong, you help your eldest brother to go downstairs to rest, and Commander Shan and I want to say a few words to Comrade Xiaochang." ”

Seeing Shan Yunfei's serious face, Liu Yuehong and Du Qiulan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly helped Liu Tiehong, who was half drunk and half awake, downstairs.

Shan Yunfei pulled Chang Ning to sit down together, and said with a smile: "Xiao Chang, don't be nervous, since you and Senior Commander Liu have become iron buddies, everyone is our own people, let's just chat casually, you can say whatever you want." ”

Chang Ning nodded, and said embarrassedly: "I didn't know that the two leaders were coming, and the hospitality was not good, so I ask the two leaders to forgive me." ”

Shan Yunfei scolded with a smile: "Phew, you poor man pretending to be a big family, pretending to be quite similar, in front of me, don't come to that set of tricks." ”

Ning Xiaohan smiled slightly, looked at Chang Ning cordially and asked, "Comrade Xiao Chang, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to hold a birthday banquet this time, right?" ”

"It's okay, money is something outside the body, is it to spend money to earn money?"

Shan Yunfei said with a smile: "But I've heard that you have to pay your mother's salary every month, after this generosity, have you thought about how to explain to your mother?" ”

"Hehe, our old lady knows, it must be a punch and kick."

Ning Xiaohan asked some questions, nothing more than the situation at home, Chang Ning answered them one by one, and there was always a strange feeling in his heart.

"Xiao Chang, have you ever been to the capital?"

"No, who has nothing to do to go that far."

"Well, do you want to go to the capital to play?"

"Hey, I want to, but I don't want to."

"Oh, why?"

"The capital, who doesn't want to go and see, but our mother doesn't like it, she often said since I was a child, you can't go to the capital, there are a lot of bad people in the capital."

"Yes, your mother has been to the capital?"

"That's definitely not, she has only been to our county seat two or three times."

"Well, Xiao Chang, why haven't you ever mentioned your father?"

"Hehe, you can ask Commander Shan to know, I also want to know who my father is, but my wife refuses to say, and the people around me don't know, alas, I can't help it, just treat him as air, he exists, but he can't see it."

"Oh, have you thought about why your mother wouldn't say it?"

"Don't hide it from the chief, I really thought about this problem, my mother is only thirty-nine years old this year, and I am twenty-three years old this year, so I am likely to be brought back by my mother from the outside, my mother must know where I came from, but either I know that the other party is a bad person, or I am afraid that the other party will know and snatch me back, in short, my mother is unwilling to reveal the slightest bit of news."

Ning Xiaohan and Shan Yunfei glanced at each other, took out a photo from the bag they were carrying, and handed it over, "Xiao Chang, look at whose photo this is?" ”

"Hey, this ...... Chief, isn't this a photo of me when I graduated from elementary school," Chang Ning took the photo and asked while looking at it, "Chief, I can't find the photo of me when I was a child, where did you get it?" ”

Ning Xiaohan took out another enlarged old photo, "Xiao Chang, take a look at this family photo again, and pay attention to the one in the middle of the back row, wearing a white shirt." ”

Chang Ning shouted: "I, how did I run to the photo...... No, no, this man, this man looks too much like me. ”

Shan Yunfei said: "Xiao Chang, it's not that he looks like you, but you look like him, these two photos were taken when he was twelve years old, that is, thirty-one years ago." ”

Chang Ning's heart was foggy for a while, and he looked at the photo blankly, and after a long time, he popped out a sentence: "Chief, this person, who is this person?" He, where is he now. ”

Ning Xiaohan said softly: "His name is Ning Qiao, he is my eldest brother, in the summer of twenty years ago, he ran away from home and never came home......

Chang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then, then I have nothing to do with him and this Ning Qiao, I was born in 1961." ”

Shan Yunfei patted Chang Ning's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Xiao Chang, this Ning Qiao is a student of Geology of Jinghua University, he will go to the field for exploration and exploration every summer vacation, from 1960 to 1963, every summer vacation is alone outside, now, now we have no evidence that Ning Qiao has been here with you." ”

Ning Xiaohan took out two yellowed notebooks from his bag, "Xiao Chang, calm down, we don't mean anything else, these are Ning Qiao's last two diaries, I will put them and photos here for you first, after you read them, think about it carefully, are there any similar notebooks or other things around your mother, at your home." ”

Shan Yunfei looked at his watch, then got up and said goodbye, "Xiao Chang, Minister Ning and I have to rush back to the provincial capital overnight, don't be anxious about your affairs, there will be answers, remember, call me if you have something." ”

Chang Ning sat still, staring at the notebook and photos for a long time, this matter must be hidden from the old lady first, let her know, and maybe what will go crazy.

Shan Yunfei and Ning Xiaohan left quietly, not daring to disturb Chang Ning, who was meditating.

After Du Qiulan and Liu Yuehong sent all the guests away, closed the door and returned to the living room, Chang Ning had already put away his notebook and photos, held a stack of banknotes in his hand, and said with a wry smile:

"This time I owe a lot of favors, I don't know if the three hundred yuan is Minister Ning's or Commander Shan's."
