At 3 p.m., Xu Songyuan left.
Xu Guiying planned to take Xu Songyuan back by bicycle, but Xu Songyuan refused. It would take more than an hour to ride back by bicycle, and he could take a bus from the north of the city.
If we go now, we can catch the 5 o'clock train back.
Otherwise, it would be too tiring for the older sister to ride a bike.
Xu Guiying then offered to take Xu Songyuan to the bus stop, but Xu Songyuan didn't want her to go through the trouble. "Sister, you should rest. It's only a twenty-minute walk for me."
Xu Guiying had no choice but to give up, saying, "Then be careful on your journey."
Xu Songyuan sighed inwardly, thinking that even at this age, his older sister still treated him the same way she did when he was a child.
As soon as Xu Songyuan left, the third and fifth brothers quickly surrounded their uncle.
Xu Songyuan was completely disoriented by the repeated calls of "Uncle."
"Uncle, where are you going? We'll go with you."
"Uncle, where do you live? Is it far?"
"Uncle, why has my mom never mentioned you before?"
It was unusual for Xu Songyuan to be surrounded by such lively people. A smile appeared on his dark face. "What's wrong? None of you are at work?"
"Aren't we resting today?" The third brother chuckled, then suddenly stopped. "Uncle, what happened when you went to the hospital earlier?"
My complexion looks much better today than it did the other day.
Xu Songyuan didn't want to say much, "It's normal to get sick at this age, don't make a fuss."
The two brothers kept asking why Xu Songyuan hadn't come before, quacking like two ducks in my ear.
Xu Songyuan picked out some unimportant things to talk about.
It was only recently that the siblings recognized each other, as they had never known each other before. The two brothers followed Xu Songyuan to the car stop, and their mouths never stopped the whole way.
When it's almost time...
The third brother coughed twice. "Uncle, we've been kicked out of our home for a while now... Could you say a few nice words to Mom when you see her?"
Song Jianmin added, "Just two sentences, not much, not much, hehehe."
Little by little, it adds up.
My uncle will say a few kind words, my third aunt will say a few words, my second uncle will say a few words, and then my second brother will say a few words...
That makes eight sentences.
Xu Songyuan looked at the two tall young men and sighed inwardly, "It's enough that you know you're wrong. Whether you go home or not is not important. What's important is that your parents are still alive and you can still see each other often. I can't change my sister's decision."
The third child muttered, "Uncle, we don't see each other often, and Mom and Dad don't see us either."
Fifth brother: "Yes, they won't let us into their house, we can't even see them."
Xu Songyuan: "..."
Just then, Xu Songyuan's car arrived.
Xu Songyuan advised his older sister not to risk offending the two unlucky kids.
"Uncle's car is here. I'm leaving now. You two brothers, be careful on your way back."
The two brothers could only watch Xu Songyuan leave.
Watching the bus drive away.
Song Anmin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Success depends on human effort. I don't believe it will work when I go to Luo'an Town to find my uncle next time."
Song Jianmin: "Let's go back."
...
Xu Songyuan arrived in Luo'an Town a little after five o'clock. He got off the bus with a hunched back, and his basket still contained the beef that Grandma Song had given him.
On the way back to Xingfu Village, we passed by Cao Dashan's house again.
His house was built with the help of the villagers. It's a bit dilapidated, but it's habitable.
Cao Dashan sat outside his house, tilting his head to look at Xu Songyuan.
His eyes didn't move at all.
Xu Songyuan stopped, then walked over again. "You were looking for me? Is there something you need to tell me?"
Cao Dashan is sometimes foolish, sometimes clear-headed, but mostly foolish.
Cao Dashan grinned and said, "Separate the family."
Xu Songyuan was surprised; everyone in the village was talking about it, but he didn't expect Cao Dashan to know about it too.
"Yes, they separated." He found it quite interesting and listened to what Cao Dashan would say next.
Cao Dashan grinned again.
"On the mountain, there is water, and people are drowning."
Xu Songyuan's expression changed instantly. He froze and stared straight at Cao Dashan, who was sitting on a small stool.
"What do you mean? Explain yourself."
No matter how Xu Songyuan asked, Cao Dashan kept repeating the same few words.
Xu Songyuan grabbed Cao Dashan's shoulder, "Did you see something?"
On the mountain, in the water, people are drowning...
You don't even need to think to know that they're talking about his wife.
Why would you suddenly mention Cao Dashan, who's an idiot?
"What else do you know?"
Explain yourself!
