"Eat." Eat as much as you can when you can to replenish your energy.
"Xiaoyu, what should we do if we can't find your uncle?"
"If we can't find it, then we can't find it. What can we do? His legs are on his body, and he didn't tell his family about the move. What are we going to do?"
"Well, your second aunt told me that your uncle probably bought a house but didn't tell us. Maybe he felt that the money came from an illegal way and was too embarrassed to say it."
"Never mind him. Mom, you should take care of Lihua and rest as much as possible recently. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep for many days." In her memory, it was very hard for the people here to take care of their loved ones. They had to keep vigil and bury the dead for many days without any rest and had to kneel and cry all the time.
"You said so too."
Quite a few people in the village had seen Wang in the county town. After the clan leader asked about her exact location, he immediately went to find Zhao Dashu.
Because the old man didn't want to see his mother, all the work of serving him and feeding him fell on his two sons, who also had to keep watch at night. In just two days, both of them had dark circles under their eyes.
When the clan leader came over, Zhao Dashu was feeding his father. A bowl of thick chicken soup.
Seeing that the food was not bad, the clan leader comforted him and said, "The real thing will come out. In the past two days, he has seen the real situation. The third brother is the one who takes care of all the affairs in the family. The second brother and his wife are not bad either. Only Zhao Dawen, this ungrateful brother, has paid the most but received the least, and in the end he even lost his life for him. He can't even be seen anymore.
"Uncle, I'll send someone to look for my eldest brother right now." If it weren't for the fact that his father had some strength left, he would have called him eldest brother. He really wouldn't have wanted to put in the effort. What the hell, I change homes several times a year.
When the person came to the door, Wang and Zhao Dawen were making dumplings at home. Zhao Dawen originally refused to move, but Wang forcibly dragged him into the kitchen, where he complained while making dumplings.
"Can't you do this kind of work yourself? Why do you have to fuck me? I rarely have two days off, and I copy books until I feel like vomiting. Can't you, a woman, be kind to your man?"
"Shut up and wrap it quickly. If you finish wrapping today, you won't be there tomorrow."
"Tomorrow you can buy a few more kilograms of melon seeds and bring them home. My sons and I are really bored at home, so we'll just eat some melon seeds to kill time."
"Do you know how much a pound of melon seeds costs? How many pounds? If your son passes the exam to become a Tongsheng, he will have to change schools. The tuition fees for this school cannot be waived. Don't you know how much it will cost?"
"How can you not talk about money during the New Year? Are you annoying?" Zhao Dawen was furious. He earned seventeen taels of silver in one winter. With the money from next year's harvest, he could earn at least forty taels of silver a year. Are you not satisfied with that? Why doesn't she go to heaven?
"Okay, I won't say any more. You know what I mean when the new year comes, the school will also be so active in copying books, right?"
“Bang, bang, bang…”
"Did you hear that? Someone is knocking on the door."
"Maybe knocking on the door next door, who would come to our house? No one knows we live here."
Zhao Dawen thought about it and it made sense. It was true that their family had not had a single guest since they moved in, so he continued making dumplings.
"Bang, bang, bang..." The knocking on the door outside was getting louder and louder, and more urgent.
"Take a look and tell them to stop knocking. They're knocking the wrong number."
"I guess."
