Mrs. Tao trembled her lips and did not answer for a moment.

The room fell silent, and the atmosphere felt awkward for no reason.

Tao Lan quickly glanced at the people in the room and said naturally: "My mother fled from the Northeast and later came to Sichuan."

"Oh? That's really a fellow countryman. Where are you in the Northeast?" Hua Zhao also asked casually, not dissing Mrs. Tao's bad background at all.

In the room, apart from Zhou Lihua's frown, Ye Li was still looking at him eagerly as before.

Tao Lan was relieved.

"My mother said she was too young to remember," Tao Lan said.

Hua Zhao glanced at him and then at Old Mrs. Tao. Her expression was not something he could not remember. Old Mrs. Tao had become as nervous as a statue, as if she would not speak again.

Hua Zhao did not let her go. She thought the same as Wu Luo. If she wanted to know the old lady's life experience, she had to start with herself.

And she looks like she is not mentally strong, which is just right.

"Did Auntie escape with her family? Or alone?" Hua Zhao asked.

"A person." Tao Lan said.

"Auntie's accent has not changed for so many years. Wasn't she young when she left her hometown? How old was she?" Hua Zhao asked.

She looked directly at Mrs. Tao with a smile, waiting for her answer.

Mrs. Tao rubbed her clothes.

"My mother said she was young at the time..."

Hua Zhao looked at Tao Lan with a different look in her eyes. Why did she ask her son to answer all questions? Including such a simple question, is there something wrong with her brain?

She has a pair of eyes that can speak, and she goes out of her way to be understood. Tao Lan shut up and looked at her mother.

There is probably nothing wrong with Mrs. Tao's brain, and she understands it.

After a pause, he rubbed his clothes and said, "I was more than ten years old at the time."

"It's so big, where exactly does that family live? Who else is there?" Hua Zhao asked.

Everyone looked at her strangely, feeling that what Hua Zhao said today was a bit too much, and that she was too curious.

Not to mention the strangers she met for the first time, those who were related to the Ye family, she had never been so inquisitive when they first met.

No, she never asked anyone so closely.

"I'm just making a fuss about the news. There are so many information about missing children in newspapers every day. It makes me upset."

Hua Zhaodao: "I heard that my aunt fled alone, so I wondered if there was something unspeakable. If she got lost with her family, I might be able to help find her family."

Everyone was relieved. When it came to the problems of missing people and abductions, Hua Zhao would show more love.

There was something in Mrs. Tao's eyes. She rubbed the corners of her clothes vigorously, looked up at Hua Zhao and said, "I remember that my home is in the mountains, called Zhangjiatun, and my father's name is Zhang Laogen. I have two brothers and one sister.

Please help me find out where this village is and whether my parents are still here."

After so many years, she really misses her parents and doesn’t know if they are still alive. She is really unfilial!

Moreover, it has been many years since that incident, and no one remembers it now, right?

And that little guy....

This time it was Hua Zhao who squeezed his fingers hard.

She didn't know who Zhang Laogen was, but she did know that Zhangjiatun in the mountains was the village where Zhang Guilan's natal family and Mrs. Zhang lived.

Tao Lan looked at her mother in surprise: "Mom? Do you remember?"

In the past, he asked his mother about the situation at her grandfather's house, but her mother said she didn't remember.

Mrs. Tao rubbed her clothes: "You were young at that time, so what's the use of telling you."

Tao Lan fell silent. Indeed, it was useless to tell him at that time, and he couldn't help find anyone.

When he was very young, his father died, and the family had no supporter. The remaining brothers and sisters only bullied their mother and son.

Later, he went to college, but after graduating, he discovered that in the past, he thought college students were omnipotent and superior to others, but in fact, their abilities were limited.

Whether you are a superior person or not depends on your background.

He glanced at Ye Li and gave her an invisible smile.

Ye Li caught it immediately and smiled all over her face.

She now makes no secret of her love for Tao Lan.

She must catch this person who can risk his life to save her!

Zhou Lihua looked at her blankly, glared at her, and said to Mrs. Tao and Tao Lan: "You guys chat first, I'm going to cook. Let's eat here at noon!"

"Auntie, no need, let's sit down and go back." Tao Lan said.

"How about that? You have to try auntie's cooking!" Zhou Lihua said.

Although Tao Lan came from a poor background, he finally had a cadre father, but he is still alive. He also had a mother who was a beggar when she was a child. It was a bit embarrassing for her to tell her...

But does she still have face in the circle now?

there is none left.

So now she is not afraid of embarrassment!

Although she used to hope that Ye Li would climb high and marry into a family as prominent as the Ye family, now she has resigned herself to her fate and finally admitted that Ye Li doesn't have the brains to secure her position at the top.

Look at Wen Jing, look at Ye Dan, even look at Ye Jia and Qiu Mei. They are either living in a wealthy family or marrying into a wealthy family. What is the result? A good hand of cards is played to pieces.

The root cause is my own stupidity!

Let’s look at Hua Zhao, who was born in a rural area, so what?

Nowadays, no one in the capital can find a more beautiful little wife than her.

So now Zhou Lihua has given up on family ties and just finds someone who treats Ye Li well.

Hua Zhao turned back to answer Mrs. Tao's question. She smiled and said, "That's a coincidence. My family is from Guoshantun, and there is Zhangjiatun next door. I don't know if it is the Zhangjiatun you mentioned."

At this time, it was very common for place names to have duplicate names, especially for village names, such as Zhang Family, Li Family, and Qiao Family, you could name several within a hundred miles.

Mrs. Tao's pupils shrank, and then her face was filled with surprise: "Yes, yes, yes, there is indeed a backing village not far from our village!"

"That's a coincidence! We are fellow villagers." Hua Zhao said with twinkling eyes.

This old lady looks so much like Mrs. Zhang, could she be a relative of hers? In all likelihood, she is, what a coincidence.

"Fellow fellow." Mrs. Tao smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Ever since she said a long series of words, she seems to have loosened up and talked more. She has a strong Northeastern flavor.

"Then do you know Zhang Laogen?" Mrs. Tao asked.

Hua Zhao shook his head: "I don't even know the names of people your father's age. Besides, almost everyone in Zhangjiatun has the surname Zhang."

"Yes, yes." Mrs. Tao said, "You are far behind me in age. Besides, Lao Gen is just my father's nickname. There are actually several people in the village named Lao Gen."

As for her father's name, her father didn't have a name at all. He was called Tiedan when he was a child, and later called Laogen. I don't know if he was named Laogen when Jianguo settled down.

When she left the countryside, the country had not yet been founded.

"I know someone in Zhangjiatun who may be of the same generation as you." Hua Zhao asked, "Zhang Dami, do you recognize him?"

This is Mrs. Zhang, the name of Zhang Guilan’s mother.

This was once when Mrs. Zhang brought someone to cause trouble. She heard an old lady of similar age in the village scolding her: This Zhang Da Mi was nothing when he was young...

Otherwise she wouldn't have remembered to ask her name.

Mrs. Tao was already trembling with excitement: "That's my sister! My name is Zhang Xiaomai!"
