It was the first time that Zhao Xiaoyu realized that her grandma had such a good appetite. No, it turned out that her grandma was also a big eater. Of the food on the table, the whole family ate only half at most, and the rest went into the old woman's stomach.
"Mom, are you full?" Zhao Dashu was a little worried. He was afraid that his mother would die of overeating.
Looking at her belly, it looks like she is carrying a baby.
Old Sun burped, "I'm full, I've never eaten so happily and comfortably in my life."
Zhao Xiaoyu didn't know what to say. It was really pitiful that someone with such a good appetite had to go hungry with the old man for most of his life.
"Why don't you get up and walk around to help digest the food?"
"I'm too full to get up."
Zhao Dashu heard her say that, but he didn't dare to let her sit any longer. "Come two people, help the old lady walk slowly in the yard for an hour to help digest the food."
Old Mrs. Sun was unhappy. It was rare for her to have a good meal, but her son asked her to walk for an hour. Wouldn't the meal be in vain after she walked?
"Third brother, I only need to walk for a quarter of an hour. If I walk too long, I'll get hungry again."
Zhao Dashu didn't listen to her nonsense. He was hungry. I eat more than Xiao Lei at night. How could I be hungry?
"Listen to me and help her take a walk."
Old Mrs. Sun couldn't resist, so she decided to just take a walk. When she gets hungry later, she'll ask someone to make her two bowls of noodles and a few eggs.

When Li finished cooking and called for help, she realized that her mother-in-law was missing. "Dad, where's mom?"
"She ran away." Old man Zhao said in a light tone, as if he was saying that the dinner was not very tasty. He did not feel anxious at all that his wife was missing.
"Where did you go? I came to find her for dinner."
"I don't know. She said she won't be back. Forget about tonight. I'll just make one less portion next time." It's good that she left. It saves food.
Old man Zhao, who had a rare moment of peace and quiet for half a day, thought it was a good thing that his wife ran away from home.
Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of Xixi, Li had no choice but to look for Zhao Dayong. Dad can ignore mother-in-law, but they can't.
"Boss, my mother ran away!"
"How could she run away? How could she run away in such a short time?" Zhao Dayong didn't mind at all. This was more than the first or second time his parents had quarreled. How could his mother dare to run away? She just went out for a stroll and finally had to go home with a thick face.
My grandma passed away a long time ago, and my uncle doesn’t mention it. It’s impossible for her to go back to my mother’s hometown.
"Dad said Mom said she would never come back. Mom packed her bags and left."
"Don't worry, she's an old lady, where can she go? Let's save some food for her, we'll be back soon."
What's wrong with these men? They have lost their wives and mothers, but none of them are in a hurry. Forget it, there is no rush and she doesn’t care.
After dinner, Old Man Zhao walked around the yard twice, washed up, and went to bed.
Li looked at the sky which was already completely dark, "Boss, are you really not going to care?"
Zhao Dayong couldn't help but complain, "My mother doesn't understand at all. She knew we had to pick vegetables and sell them tomorrow morning, but she still didn't go home until dark." He had originally planned to go to bed early and get up early, but now it was strange. He had no intention of going to bed early anymore.
"How about we split up and look for it?"
"Let's split up. Anyway, there are only two places she can go when there's a quarrel. It's easy to find her."
Zhao Dayong had searched for these places countless times and was already familiar with the route.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the two met at the gate of the yard and said at the same time, "No?"
"What should I do as the head of the family? It seems like my mother really ran away!" I'm so annoyed. It's just a quarrel. It's not like we haven't argued before.
Zhao Dayong was much calmer, "I'm going to find my father."
Old man Zhao had already gone to bed. When he heard his son's question, he didn't even bother to get up. "Go to sleep. Don't worry about her. She won't die."
"What did Dad say? Does he know where it is?"
"I don't know. No one said anything. Let's ask the neighbors. Maybe someone saw it."
"Your mother, didn't she go to look for the third child this afternoon? She was carrying a bundle, and inside it seemed to be clothes made for the third child. How come you didn't know?"
Well, the couple finally knew where the old lady was. She really knows how to choose a place. She actually went to enjoy the good life at the home of the third brother of the Tang Dynasty.
Just now, I thought she had gone to the county town to seek refuge with her eldest brother.
Li didn't know what to feel either. Her mother-in-law had a promising son to rely on, so could she and the head of the family possibly have a promising son in the future?
"Shall we take a look?"
"Forget it, or else people will gossip about you." No one would even look for the old man after he disappeared. Even if I knew where her third uncle came from, I would have to meet him to feel at ease.
"Brother!"
Finally I came to find someone. If I didn’t come, Zhao Dashu would think that the old house didn’t want me anymore.
When Zhao Dayong and Li entered the yard, they saw their mother (mother-in-law) walking around in the night, supported by servants.
There were about ten lights on in the yard, so it wasn't dark at all.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Why do you need someone to support you when walking? Are you going to fall?
"Walk, the third brother said I was full, and insisted that I walk to digest the food. You said I finally had a full meal, and you asked me to digest the food. I will be hungry again in a while, and all my dinner will be wasted."
Zhao Dayong: …
