‘The car circled around a general direction. She noticed along the way that many buildings that she remembered were gone.
Suddenly, she saw a monument in the distance.
“Stop the car.”
Mo Boyuan slowly pulled the car to the side and stopped when he heard that.
“That monument used to stand at the entrance of the alley where we lived.”
‘The man nodded and asked, “Do you want to go down and take a look?”
“Yes!”
Jiang Tingxu was very excited when she got out of the car and she practically ran over to the monument.
‘The monument was exactly the same as what she remembered. After countless years in the wind and sun, it looked as if it had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Many of the words carved on it were worn away, but taken in together with the others that could be seen, one could roughly conclude that the words on it were actually a description of the village from back then.
Perhaps a stonemason back then had carved the words on this monument because he had been overly bored.
Some experts had come over to take a look a few years ago and concluded that there was no value to collecting it as an archaeological artifact.
Sure enough, one would not be able to calm down once a familiar object in one’s memory appeared.
The cleaners would usually keep the monument clean, so the inscription was rather clean.
Jiang Tingxu couldn’t help but reach out and touch it, just like when she was young, tracing her fingers over the words.
She suddenly pulled her hand back as if she had thought of something and said, “Mo Boyuan, I know where we should look!”
Huh?
“Where?”
“The village community center. Oh, it should be called the community office now.”
“Okay.”
He would not object, of course.
The community office was very easy to find. They could get the address just by asking anyone around them.
Jiang Tingxu had suddenly said that she wanted to go to the community office because she had suddenly remembered something.
Her father had once secretly told her when she was young that Uncle Xie from the village committee and he were comrades-in-arms once. They had a very good relationship and Uncle Xie was absolutely trustworthy!
He had told her that if she needed help in the future, she would ask Uncle Xie for help!
At that time, Uncle Xie was the director of the village committee. He might have already been promoted and left the village.
However, that was all Jiang Tingxu could remember. She had no choice but to go to the community office to try her luck.
It was a Tuesday, so the staff were all at work when they reached the office.
The couple pushed open the glass door and entered. Someone asked, “Hi Miss, is there something I can help you with?”
Jiang Tingxu nodded, and the woman who spoke earlier said, “Please register over here”
“Okay.”
The couple went over to register. After doing so, the woman’s eyes roved all over Mo Boyuan.
“This young man really looks like a celebrity!” She exclaimed.
Pfft
Jiang Tingxu laughed to herself before saying, “Oh, maybe. A lot of people say that.”
The woman frowned and continued to look at him. She suddenly shook her head and said, “No, he doesn’t just look like a celebrity. He is one!
“Miss, you’ve got to do better than that if you want to lie to me!”
Alright then, even though the woman recognized Mo Boyuan, she did not do anything else and completed her job according to the regulations.
Jiang Tingxu had been quite worried, but when she saw that, she felt much more at ease.
She asked, “Ma‘am, I’d like to ask where Xie Zhiming is. He is the former village committee director of Village X. Does anyone know?”
‘When everyone heard this question, they paused and asked, “Xie Zhiming?”
“Yes!”
“Why are you looking for him?”
“Thave something to ask him. I used to be from Village X and I lived in Hao’er Alley..”
