A few old men at the entrance of the village were still talking nonsense. When they saw Da Shuang coming from a distance, they all smiled and said, "This kid probably doesn't know his father is dead yet."
"Don't say anything. What if he gets angry and chases you away, delaying my eldest brother from going to the city? He will definitely be angry when he comes back," said Uncle Tiedan with a smile. Goushengzi had left him a cigarette when he died, and he had to smoke it to vent Goushengzi's anger.
"Goushengzi is back, but the couple didn't even give him a cold shoulder. Does he want to chase him away?" an old man said with a disdainful curl of his lips.
"This couple is very shameless. They are capable of doing anything. Let's just pretend we don't know."
A few old men were chirping quietly.
Da Shuang came closer and didn't see his father and second uncle. "Uncles, where are my father and second uncle?"
Uncle Tiedan: "I don't know. I didn't see you today. I wanted to visit your house."
Da Shuang… “Uncle, please stop making trouble. Where are my dad and the others?”
"I really don't know who made trouble with you." Uncle Tiedan spread his hands.
Da Shuang frowned and looked at the other old men, and they all said they didn't see it.
Da Shuang… “Then I’ll go ask in the village.”
Dashuang went to the village to ask around, and the car owner said that they went to the town. He took a truck there in the morning, and Ershuang also went there. The two old men said they were going to the county town, so Ershuang came back with him.
Da Shuang "What are you going to do in the county town?"
The car owner said, "Ask your brother, how would I know?" What can you do in the county town? Buy things. He doesn't like to talk much and didn't ask.
Dashuang thought about it and went to the field to ask Ershuang, but Ershuang and his wife were not there. He went home and found that Ershuang and his wife had not returned either.
Seeing that there was no one behind him, Zheng Yue'e asked, "Where are Second Uncle and the others?"
"He said he went to the county, but I don't know what he did there." Dashuang sighed. He had gone out to ask for directions a long time ago. It was too late to kill the chicken.
"Maybe my second uncle went out to buy something. There isn't much delicious food at home. City people may not be used to it." Carrie Lam's attitude changed 180 degrees.
"What should we do with this chicken? Should we eat it?" Dashuang looked at the chicken with greed.
Carrie Lam: "Let's eat the potatoes and soup. We can add some water and some potatoes to eat another meal in the evening."
Dashuang thought it was okay, as he could drink the chicken soup and it would satisfy his craving.
"Grandma, where is my big chicken leg?" The little grandson was unhappy.
"One big chicken leg at noon and one at night." Carrie Lam fished out the chicken leg for her grandson, and shared the chicken soup and potatoes with the whole family. The whole family ate with relish.
In the afternoon, the whole family did not go out to work. They waited for the old man to come back, which showed that they valued him.
Who would have thought that it was already dark, the chicken was heated again and again, but no one came back.
"Why hasn't anyone from Li Ershuang returned?" Carrie Lam frowned, feeling that the family must be hiding something from them.
"I'll go out and take a look. You two go to the village entrance to welcome them." Dashuang sent his two sons out of the village to welcome them, and he went to Uncle Tiedan's house to ask.
Uncle Tiedan still said the same two words, he didn’t know.
The family sat at the entrance of the village and fed mosquitoes for half the night, but no one was seen.
"Could your second uncle be dead?" Carrie Lam felt something was wrong.
Da Shuang frowned. "That's impossible. We haven't seen each other for decades. How can you come all the way here and you're gone after only two days?"
Carrie Lam had a flash of inspiration: "Your father didn't go with us, did he?"
