In the morning, not long after going to the field.
Xu Mingzhao, who was squatting on the ground pulling weeds with his butt sticking out, looked up and found that his brother-in-law was missing.
He wasn't in a hurry.
A grown man from a small village, what could he possibly have?
Xu Mingzhao continued to work hard.
You have to work hard!
His brother-in-law is lazy and earns the work points of two people.
It's okay.
I can still do it.
Think about the daughter-in-law and father-in-law Yuexi coming.
Think about future work.
Xu Mingzhao felt that he was full of energy.
As the sun rose higher, Xu Mingzhao sweated more and more.
As time goes by.
Xu Mingzhao realized something was wrong.
Even though this child likes to play, he will come back from time to time to show off to me.
Something like catching a new insect or picking a new wild fruit.
After a long time, this heartless kid finally remembered to come back and work.
Otherwise, his cheap brother-in-law would be exhausted to death, and there would be no one to work for him in the future.
This child, this is the first time he hasn't been back for such a long time.
He was worried.
I hope something really happened.
Just find someone quickly.
Go straight to the goal.
Walk to the village entrance and come to the big locust tree next to the old well.
I found a group of old men and women who were old enough to be his grandparents, enjoying the cool air under a tree.
One of them was holding a broken palm-leaf fan, fanning himself and patting others around him.
There aren't many mosquitoes at this spot.
It’s not absolutely impossible.
After being bitten, some people will get a small red dot and feel nothing, while others will get a big lump that is red and itchy.
Some people feel so itchy that they keep scratching and may even break their skin.
A little bit of blood came out.
When the wound heals and scabs over, a light brown birthmark-like substance will be left behind.
It will take a long time.
Most of these ladies wear old-fashioned slanted-collar clothes.
The old men were wearing vests or jackets made by their spouses.
If you feel very hot, just open your clothes or go shirtless.
Some of them were playing with their bare chests and wearing tattered straw hats.
Xu Mingzhao is no longer surprised.
But he still couldn't help but twitch his lips.
The actual reason is that the impact of this design is quite big.
Xu Mingzhao often walks around the village.
Sometimes I help the elderly fetch water, and sometimes I help them get things.
So, I have a good relationship with people.
The old men and women are also willing to pay attention to him.
Before he even got close, Xu Mingzhao already gave a simple smile.
"Uncle, Auntie, how cool is it here?"
A man in his seventies who could be Xu Mingzhao's grandfather.
I was happy to hear the word "uncle".
He waved the palm-leaf fan and fanned his feet.
He raised his head slightly and grinned, revealing his three remaining teeth.
Said vaguely.
"What else can I do? You are such a dishonest boy! Why are you here if you don't want to go to work?"
Another old man laughed and retorted to him: "You only have three teeth left, why are you still eating so fast?"
In one sentence, all the old men and women around laughed.
Xu Mingzhao also laughed.
An older woman with short haircut asked, "Xu, what do you want from us?"
Xu Mingzhao said helplessly: "My brother-in-law was having fun and I don't know where he ran off to. Has anyone seen him?"
"You said you were patriotic! You were just here chatting with us! You just left a while ago."
"What a patriotic child! When he saw Lin Zhiqing sprain his ankle, he helped carry the water back."
