”This tour, study, and observation has all ended today. Tomorrow, I will move freely. Two days later, I will take the 107 trains from Qingdao to generalization. After arriving home, he reported the situation of the expedition to the leader. Alright, everyone rest. ”

The next morning, October 5th, 1987. Wang Zipeng, Zhang Xi Long, Li Che and the Zhou family all went to Qingdao Landing Bridge to take a picture. After that, Zi Peng said:

”Leaders, now that our mission has been accomplished, I want to go to Ji Mo Cang and take a look. I will leave soon and rush back tomorrow. Please wait here for me, I won't leave until I see you.”

The three of them nodded in agreement. Only then did Zi Peng get on the bus from Qingdao to Yimo. He arrived at Inter Mo City at around 2 PM. Zi Peng's hometown was in the Zhang Ge Zhuang Village of Chang Zhi Village, which was more than 10 kilometers away from the county city. When he came to Inter Mo City, he was unfamiliar with this place. He only knew that when he was young, this was Yimo County, and now it was the Inter Mo City. Although it was his hometown, he had not returned for close to 30 years and felt that it was a little strange. He didn't know when there was a bus to Zhang Ge Zhuang.

In the blink of an eye, 27 years had passed. From a young man who was only 16 years old, he had become a young man of 43 years of age. This was the first time he had used the opportunity to study a township company to visit his hometown. Although there were no close relatives in the family, there was still an uncle and his brother. It could be said that he had not come here in vain to see them.

Zi Peng took a look around Inter Mo City's wholesale market and discovered that there were too many changes here. There were skyscrapers everywhere, shops and shopping malls everywhere, as well as restaurants and restaurants everywhere. This wholesale market is not smaller than Shenyang City's Five Love wholesale market.

When Zi Peng was young, his father had brought him to a few county towns. At that time, the number of county towns were few, and the tallest buildings were only three stories tall. In a flash, 20 years had passed. How could there be no changes? As he walked, he wondered how he could find his uncle's house.

He came to the main street and wandered around, watching the changes to his old home, the Inter Mo City, that he had left for 27 years. This enormous change caused him to be endlessly shocked. As he walked, he saw a shop in front of him. Above the door was a sign that said Rent Bicycles. Therefore, Zi Peng thought, with this, why don't I rent a bicycle to the Zhang Ge Zhuang? If you ride a bicycle, you can get home within an hour at most while enjoying the scenery and walking on the bike. Right! Bicycle rental, he thought as he walked quickly to the bike rental shop. Inside the shop, there was a thirty year old female boss. She was very beautiful, had a tall stature, and had a pair of large eyes. Seeing that Zi Peng had arrived, she quickly went up to greet him.

”Comrade, do you want to rent a bicycle?”

”Yes, how much do I need to go to Zhang Ge Zhuang?

”3 yuan, the maximum is 3 hours.”

”I'm not coming back tonight. Can I give you a ride tomorrow?”

”That won't do. We'll rent our bikes on the same day and return on the same day.”

”Lady Boss, how about this. I'll put my ID here. You can give me my ID when we deliver the car tomorrow. ”Because I've been away from home for 27 years. I want to go back and stay for the night.”

The female boss observed Zi Peng for a while and said,

”So you came back from Northeast?”

”Yes, I left my hometown in 1960, exactly 27 years ago.”

”Alright, since we are all from the same village, I agree. But then again, you have to be honest, I'm a real person. I've never believed in the words of others. I'll believe you once today. ”

”Thank you.” ”Lady Boss, I will be back in the morning.”

Zi Peng then took the 6 yuan and the ID card he had just finished this fall and handed it to the female owner. Then, he pushed out a bicycle. Zi Peng asked, ”Boss, where are we going to the Zhang Ge Zhuang?”

”From here there is a road to the east. ”Go around for a while and ask around again. That way, you'll find your home.”

”Thank you, Lady Boss.” Zi Peng said gratefully.
