Bionic Era

Chapter 145 Candy

"Bring your wife back?"

Wei Boan frowned.

This is the first one, and after a few casual chats, they encountered an abnormal situation.

Judging by the age of this old man.

Her son would be forty or fifty years old if he said that. At this age, he still brought his wife back?

Lu Wen checked.

Wei Boan is also using his mobile phone to access the database.

The two got the answer almost at the same time and looked at each other.

"died."

"Dead for twenty-three years."

Wei Boan's voice was very low.

It is recorded in the database that he died bravely for a just cause.

Twenty-three years ago in the summer, a few primary school students took a bath by the river after school. The river was originally very shallow, but the upstream suddenly released water...

Mowu City has abundant rain and overcast clouds all day long.

Although there are no big rivers, there are many streams and canals.

There are also quite a few reservoirs, supplying the entire city with fresh water.

Several children can't swim.

The young man named Zhao Changping just passed by and sent several children to the shore, but he couldn't go up. After the incident, those parents were too busy feeling sorry for their children, and didn't notice that Zhao Changping didn't come up. At that time, people are gone.

The body was not found somewhere downstream until several days later.

"Lu Wen, you... tell the old man about it."

He died bravely for righteousness.

This kind of thing will definitely be notified to the family, and there will be a comfort money.

But the old man seemed unaware.

I don't know for more than twenty years.

And... She said her son would come back for the New Year?

"I'll ask the relevant department and the person in charge of this matter later to see if any link was not done well, causing the old man to not know the truth."

"It's better for you to talk..."

The two looked at each other.

This matter is uncomfortable to say, and the two big men don't want to go.

Wei Bo'an had no choice but to find a woman among the executive officers traveling with him.

Tenth District's invaluable female executive.

"The voice must be softer. It's best to prepare the old man well in advance. Once you get older, once you can't bear it..."

After the instructions were finished, everyone began to investigate from house to house.

Wei Bo'an also called up all the records about this village.

Except for Zhao Changping who died because of his bravery, the other people in this village did not leave any records, they were all just ordinary people, living very ordinary lives.

After investigating more than ten households, more than an hour has passed.

This is the first time Lu Wen has done such a boring thing since he started the machine.

And he was recognized.

Although the network signal in this small village is not good, many people have TVs, and many people have seen Lu Wen on TV.

Especially some children.

All of them opened their eyes wide and followed behind Lu Wen.

That look, as if looking at a star.

"Did you bring any sugar?" Lu Wen asked Wei Bo'an beside him in a low voice.

"A muscular man like me seems to eat candy?"

"Not like."

"It just so happens that I have some in my backpack. I haven't finished eating it yet. You can distribute it to those children."

"..."

Wei Bo'an took out a large can of fruit-flavored hard candy in a pink package from his backpack.

Lu Wen was dumbfounded.

"What are you carrying so much sugar with you?"

"There is a lot of pressure and all kinds of troubles every day. Do you really think that the head of the executive bureau is so relaxed? Not everyone is Luo Ruyan, and they still have free time to set up a secret laboratory."

Wei Bo'an complained a few words.

"Occasionally, I will take time to let my mind go. At this time, I will eat some candy and reminisce about my childhood."

"Pink packaging is overkill."

"What's the point? Some people are still watching cat and mouse in their twenties!"

Lu Wen took the big jar of sugar.

Quite heavy.

It's nothing to this tall and strong man like Wei Bo'an, it's probably just exercise.

"Brother, are you a star? I often see you on TV."

often?

Lu Wen thought about it.

I have only started it for more than three weeks in total.

It left such a deep impression on these children.

Maybe it's handsome...

"I'm not a star, I'm a parliamentary candidate."

"Brother, what is a member of parliament?"

A large group of children surrounded Lu Wen.

Lu Wen simply found a taller stone at the entrance of the village and sat down, giving out sugar and explaining.

"A congressman is... I think, most of the time, a congressman will seek benefits for his district, such as the tenth district. If a doctor is successful in running for the council, he is likely to suggest improving the medical security system in the tenth district , but it is not absolute, and may also suggest other aspects, such as the rights of the disabled, and some suggestions will be adopted and voted to pass..."

"Brother, is there any congressman who builds roads?"

"Road Builder..."

This question is a bit funny.

But looking at those children's clear eyes, Lu Wen was silent for a moment.

In the memory Yin Long gave him, that country, even in remote places, would build cement roads, and most of the costs would be borne by the government.

But this world...

Capital dominates everything.

Even the surveillance in the urban area is in cooperation with private companies, which is why the urban area has not changed surveillance for decades, the council has no money, and the taxpayer's money ends up not knowing where it went.

"Brother, the road outside our village is not easy to walk, even cars can't get in when it rains."

Loess Road.

Fortunately, today is a sunny day. Although the sun is still soft, the road can barely walk.

Roads are the prerequisite for economic development.

If the road is not repaired well, this small village will be poor forever, just like Jiang Xiaonian's hometown.

"I will suggest that they build roads for remote mountainous areas in the future." Lu Wen said seriously to those children.

It doesn't take a second to think that this proposal will certainly not be passed.

Mainly a question of money.

Chatted with this group of children for most of the afternoon.

Answer their questions about the outside world.

Lu Wen also used a projector to show them an animated movie.

"That old lady..."

While the movie was playing, Lu Wen looked at the thatched cottage.

The old man sat alone in front of the door.

Cloudy tears flowed on the chapped face.

The female executive told the old man the truth, and after comforting her for a while, she went to the village to investigate with Wei Bo'an and the others.

The old man has been sitting at the door for more than two hours.

"Let's go, continue the investigation tomorrow."

This village is far away from the urban area, and it takes more than two hours to come here.

Some executives chose to stay and rest in their cars.

Wei Boan had to go back and take a look at the overall situation.

"I asked over there just now, and said that the old man had been told about what he did bravely at that time, and the comfort money was also delivered to the old man himself."

"Why doesn't the old man know now?"

On the occasion of leaving.

Lu Wen came to the old man.

"Old man, can you hear me?"

The old lady raised her head and looked at Lu Wen.

"Young man, are you... are you looking for someone?"

Hearing the old man's strange tone, Lu Wen's heart trembled.

He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Holding the last hope, Lu Wen tried to ask: "Old man, will your child come back this year for the Chinese New Year?"

"Come back, Changping...Changping said he would bring his wife back."

Old people will be gradually forgotten by time.

They themselves are constantly forgetting time.
