This shows that Little Potato will definitely not be a stupid child in the future; at the very least, his memory is quite good.
When the three of them arrived home, they saw four elderly people rushing out in a hurry: "Grandpa, Grandma, Grandpa, Grandma, where are you going?"
The four elderly people spotted the family of three at a glance and quickly picked up the little potato, looking him up and down and left and right: "Where did you go, child? Why didn't you tell your family before you went out?"
Little Potato quickly hugged the old man's neck: "I'm sorry, Little Potato was anxious to see Mom and Dad, so I secretly went to the village entrance. I won't do it again next time."
The four elderly people, who had just been looking anxious, immediately beamed with joy: "Mom, our little potato is so sensible. Well then, it's a deal. Next time, he must be accompanied by an adult to go to the village entrance."
Little Potato nodded very seriously. This child never fails to do what he promises, and he has a good memory and never makes the same mistake repeatedly.
"You two are back? Come in quickly. We just realized the child was missing and were thinking of going out to look for him."
So far, the fourth generation in the family only has Little Potato. Third Egg and Fourth Egg don't even have wives yet. Fifth Egg and Sixth Egg are even less worried because their two older brothers aren't in a hurry. They stay in the city all day and don't come back, afraid that their family will arrange blind dates for them.
Seven and Eight are both twenty years old. Seven joined the army two years ago, and Eight is learning to drive with his third uncle in the county town. Second and Third Aunt live on both sides. When the farm work is not busy, they go to the county town to stay for a while, and when the farm work is busy, they come back.
They only have one child in the whole family, and they wish they could dote on him. It's a good thing that Little Potato didn't turn out badly, otherwise he would have grown into a spoiled brat.
It was only because there were only four elderly people left in the family that they thought of taking the child back to take care of him. Little Potato is at such a young age and has a lot of energy. It would be tiring to look after him all day. They had been discussing this for almost two years before the elderly people finally agreed to let them take the child back.
Qian Xiao and Sun Kaicheng have gotten used to it; as long as Little Potato is around, all their grandchildren have to take a backseat.
After lunch, Little Potato was taking a nap. We'll go back after he wakes up. The family is sitting in the yard talking, and as they talk, Qian Xiao suddenly remembers the half-face she saw today.
She felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen a similar face somewhere before, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember who it was.
Logically speaking, given her memory, she shouldn't be unable to recall anyone she's met! So, it can only mean that the memory is quite distant.
Suddenly, Qian Xiao slapped his leg, and with a loud crack, everyone in the courtyard looked at him.
Grandma Qian: "Isn't this child fierce? Why did he hit himself so hard?"
Grandma Zhou: "Did you suddenly remember something important?"
"What's wrong?" His wife had been talking for a while when she started to space out, probably thinking about something.
"Do you remember the person we saw talking to Little Potato at the village entrance?"
"I remember we were saying that person was a bit strange. What's wrong? Have you met him before?" Sun Kaicheng recalled for a moment, then confirmed that he had not met this person before.
Do you remember when I told you about Wang Xuewen's family?
Grandpa and Grandma Zhou had never heard of this before, and they looked at Qian Xiao with some confusion, waiting for an explanation.
Grandpa Qian and Grandma Qian knew: "Ah! What happened to that family? Weren't they all arrested a long time ago?" It was their eldest son who arrested them back then. That was so long ago. Why are you bringing up that family again?
Sun Kaicheng thought about it more deeply. It was very strange that someone who had been arrested for so long would suddenly appear here.
"You mean, the person today was from the Wang family back then? I remember you said that family consisted of two elderly people, two adults, and a child who was a little older than you? Judging from the person's appearance today, he must be either the child from that family or the child's father?"
It was hard to tell the man's age; he had a stubble beard. It would be a stretch to say he was about the same age as them, but he looked rather old, even though he was in his forties or fifties.
"If I'm not mistaken, that person should be Wang Xuewen. He was the one who pushed me into the river and almost killed me. I have a deep memory of those eyes. Even though he's grown up, I'm sure I can still see that look in his eyes. In fact, they've become even more sinister."
"Sir, do you remember where Wang Xuewen was sent back then?"
Grandpa Qian shook his head: "I only heard that it was sent to a farm that was very far away, but I don't know the name of it." It must have been seventeen or eighteen years since then, right?
"However, if it really is that kid, it won't be a good thing. I remember that Old Man Wang and his son ate peanuts back then, but the old woman and her daughter-in-law survived and took Wang Xuewen with them."
"Grandpa, Little Potato said that the person was asking about our family. I reckon he's back for revenge. Do you think we should tell Grandpa? I'm afraid he's so ruthless that he might harm the children in the village."
“If this doesn’t work, I think you should all go back to the county town for a while. If this guy comes back to take revenge, he’ll definitely target our family first. I don’t feel safe leaving you all at home.”
I'm really worried. There's no able-bodied person in the family; all that's left are elderly people who can't even fight back.
Grandma Qian was also a little worried: "Why don't we just go and report it to the police?" In Grandma Qian's mind, the police were the people she felt safest with.
Qian Xiao shook his head: "We don't know exactly what happened to Wang Xuewen. If he escaped, that's fine. If we catch him, we can send him back. But if he was released normally, he hasn't done anything wrong, so there's no reason to arrest him."
Sun Kaicheng: "I think I should first find someone to ask about Wang Xuewen's specific situation. If we can arrest him directly, that would be even better. If not, we can only strengthen our defenses."
Qian Xiao rubbed her forehead. She hadn't thought things through enough back then. She hadn't considered that this family would come back for revenge. She should have just caused an accident and killed them directly, so she wouldn't have to be on guard all the time.
Qian Xiao was startled by this thought. How could she suddenly have such a terrifying idea? It seems that Wang Xuewen's appearance has greatly increased her sense of crisis!
"Grandpa and Grandma, why don't you pack up and come back with us for a while?" The situation in the county town is much better than a few years ago, and it's safer than here. At least the two of them can protect the elderly.
Grandpa Qian shook his head: "No need, he really wouldn't dare to do anything in the village. When you take Little Potato back, be sure to pay close attention to the people around you, and don't let anyone take advantage of the situation."
Leaving the child behind is not an option either; they are all old and not as nimble as they used to be, so they might not be able to protect the child properly.
