Splendid peasant girl busy farming

The Luo family had dinner earlier than other families. After dinner, Yang Ruoqing arranged for Xiao An to take a shower in the backyard and change clothes.

At this time, Yang Yongjin, Yang Huazhou and Dabao from the opposite door came over to call Xiaoan.

So, Yang Ruoqing took a jar of hot water and stuffed it into Xiao An's hand and sent him back to the third room.

At home, Yang Ruoqing and the others are also planning to rest early tonight.

Just after sending the two little ones to bed, Yang Ruoqing asked Wang Cuilian to sleep with the children first as usual, while she took the time to go to the kitchen.

As usual, I will prepare the ingredients for tomorrow morning overnight, and make glutinous rice for Xiao An to eat tomorrow morning.

So soak the glutinous rice in advance.

After finishing this, Yang Ruoqing was about to go back to her bedroom to sleep, and then she heard Kang Xiaozi's voice coming from the yard next door.

Did Kang Xiaozi go over to play cards?

It's really lively tonight...

Just as this thought flashed through my mind, I heard Xiao An, Yang Huazhou and the other gentlemen all leaving the main room and coming to the courtyard in the yard of her parents' house next door.

Everyone was walking out while talking, and someone was holding a lantern in his hand.

This is……?

Could it be that Fourth Uncle hasn't come back yet and Kang Xiaozi wants to pick him up?

That's not right. Even if the fourth uncle didn't come back, Kang Xiaozi could just pick him up by himself. Why would he have to run and call others? This is a bit overwhelming!

What's going on?

However, no matter what the situation was, Yang Ruoqing went to bed before anyone found her head.

……

In a courtyard with three rooms separated by a wall.

Yang Huazhou was asking Kang Xiaozi: "Are you sure you went to that Li Ming's house? Are you sure your father is really not at his house?"

Kang Xiaozi nodded vigorously: "Fifth Uncle, it's absolutely true. Uncle Li Ming said that after my father sent him home, he originally planned to keep my father for dinner, but at that time, his old sow was sick, and his mother-in-law My mother and I were busy taking care of the old sow and couldn't spare any time to cook and entertain the guests, so my father left."

"Uncle Li Ming said that in order to thank my father for helping him push the cart back, he gave my father a jar of soju before leaving."

"I also made an appointment in two days for Uncle Li Ming to buy pork and come to my house to beat my father's teeth as a sacrifice. I will watch my father leave the house!"

"Kang boy, did you meet your father on the way to Lijiacun?" Yang Huazhou asked again.

Yang Yongjin said: "Fifth Uncle, your question is a bit contradictory. If Kang Xiaozi met Fourth Uncle, wouldn't these things disappear?"

Father and son met on the way, why don't they go home together for dinner? As for coming out to find helpers and searching for people like now?

Yang Huazhou patted his forehead, "Look at what I said, what I want to say actually means something else..."

Yang Yongjin smiled and said: "Fifth Uncle, do you want to ask Kang Xiaozi if he paid attention to other people on the road or on the field path on the way to Lijiacun to pick up Fourth Uncle? Did he miss Fourth Uncle and me? That's it Do you mean it?"

Yang Huazhou nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's what it means!"

Kang Xiaozi thought about it carefully and shook his head decisively: "I also thought about this on the way there, so I paid attention all the way. I met an old man from our village at the entrance behind our village.

I didn’t meet anyone else after that, not even cats or dogs, I didn’t meet a single one on the road! "

Everyone frowned and thought hard, "Then where could the Fourth Uncle be if he didn't come home this late at night?"

At this time, Xiao An, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Could it be that Fourth Uncle was intercepted on his way back before leaving Lijia Village? Did he go to another house to eat and chat?"

Somewhere else?

Several people looked at each other, and then all of a sudden they thought of the same person: "Lao Er Li?"

"Kang boy, have you gone to Li Lao'er's house to look for him?" Yang Huazhou asked again.

Kang Xiaozi shook his head, "No!"

"I heard Uncle Li Ming say that my father had left. I immediately turned around and left, hoping to catch up with him halfway. I didn't think about anything else." But when he returned home, he found that his father had not returned home. Didn't go home.

He waited at home for a while, but still didn't arrive. He couldn't stand the repeated urging of his mother and eldest sister, so he came to Sanfang to move reinforcements.

After this back and forth, more than an hour, nearly two hours had passed since they finished burning incense and went back to the village.

Although during this process, my mother couldn't wait to finish the dinner.

But the eldest sister and Jin Chuan were still warming the rice in the pot and waiting for their father to come back.

And it’s late at night, and it’s such a special day. We agreed not to stay outside, but dad hasn’t come back yet. Can you not make Kang Xiaozi anxious...

"This late at night, my fourth uncle probably didn't go to the old house." Yang Yongjin analyzed, "In all likelihood, he went to Li Lao'er's house. Come on, let's go to Li Lao'er's house to have a look. By the way, we're also here. Look for it on the road!"

At Yang Huazhou's suggestion, everyone stopped playing cards and prepared to go out to find someone.

"Xiao An, please put down the lantern. The moon is big and round tonight, and it is bright everywhere."

Xiao An nodded.

Several people closed the door and walked towards the entrance of the village.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Yang Huazhou ordered everyone to divide into two groups. He, Kang Xiaozi, and Dabao took the field path south of the village and reached the river dam. Yang Yongjin and Xiao An went through the village to the river dam. When the two sides arrived, they were on the river dam. Convergence.

Soon, the two groups met on the river dam.

"We haven't encountered it here."

"We haven't encountered it here either."

"Then let's go to Lijia Village."

The five people went straight to Lijiacun.

On the river dam along this road, you can also see a pile of burned ashes, as well as offerings and soju spilled out. The air is filled with the faint fragrance of wine.

"If your father finds out about this later, your fourth uncle will be scolded." Yang Huazhou said.

Yang Yongjin and the others all smiled and promised: "You must not mention this matter to me."

After the group arrived at Lijia Village, they went straight to Li Lao'er's house.

When we arrived at the door of the yard of Li Lao'er's house, we saw that the main room in the yard was dimly lit. The three brothers were sitting in the yard rubbing straw ropes and chopping firewood.

"Why are these three brothers so diligent? They don't even rest at all at night?"

"It looks like you can live a good life!"

"However, it doesn't look like Fourth Uncle is here..."

"what?"

Everyone immediately arrived at the door of the courtyard of the three brothers of the Li family. Kang Xiaozi took the lead and called Boss Li.

The three Li brothers were surprised when they saw five old Yang men suddenly appear at the door of the yard, including Yang Huazhou and Xiao An.

The three brothers quickly put down their work and came to the door of the courtyard. Kang Xiaozi first gave a brief introduction to both parties, "This is my fifth uncle, and this is the eldest brother of the Li family."

"Brother Li, we came out to look for my father. Have you seen him?"

The eldest son of the Li family shook his head without hesitation: "No, my fourth uncle didn't come to my house."

Then he turned to ask Li Lao Er and Li Lao San: "Where are you? Have you seen Fourth Uncle Yang?"
