Sun Shucai raised his head and looked at the sun, which was almost due south, and persuaded: "Chenxu, it's almost noon. Let's go back to eat first and let Fan Laosan go find the children. The mountain roads here are rugged. If you get sprained,
My feet are not feeling well."
Lu Chenxu shook his head decisively: "Uncle Sun, it doesn't matter, we're not hungry, let's go with him!"
After finishing speaking, he stared at Fan Laosan and said in a tone that he could not refuse: "Let's go!"
Fan Laosan blinked: "If the child is found, how much compensation do you plan to give me?"
Lu Chenxu clenched his hands tightly, and his voice came out from between his teeth: "How many do you want?"
Fan Laosan counted on his fingers: "This is hard to say. As you all know, it is not easy to raise a child now. What's more, this child was born prematurely when I bought him. His body is weak and he gets sick every three days. Just to see a doctor for him."
I just spent a lot of money!”
Fan Laosan tilted his head and made a mental calculation. He didn't know the other party's details, and now was not the time to ask for money rashly, so he suddenly changed his mind and said: "Well, I can't tell you how much compensation we need.
How about we go to the child’s mother’s house to take the child back first, and we can discuss the compensation later?”
Lu Chenxu took a step back, got out of the way, and gave Fan Laosan a cold look: "Then let's go!"
Fan Laosan turned back and looked at Sun Shucai: "Uncle Sun, this is to help your relatives find a child. Let me borrow your family's electric tricycle!"
Sun Shucai ignored Fan Laosan and looked at Lu Chenxu and Mo Xiaodie: "Chenxu, go to my house for lunch first. The home of Laosan Laosan's wife is not far from here, at most three miles. After dinner,
I'll find someone to take you there."
Fan Laosan immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, it's not too late to go after dinner. I'm already hungry, so I'll go to Third Uncle's house for dinner first."
After saying that, without waiting for everyone to speak, Fan Laosan raised his head and walked out. When he went out, he glanced at his own door: "This door was left behind by my grandfather. It can be regarded as an antique. Remember,
When the time comes, I’ll include the cost of this door as well!”
Sun Shucai pointed at him angrily, "Shut up, don't you think it's embarrassing?"
Lu Chenxu held Mo Xiaodie's hand tightly: "Honey, don't be afraid, we will see the Four Treasures soon. Don't worry, I will pay back all the hardships and beatings he has suffered over the years.
of."
Mo Xiaodie's nose became sore and tears flowed down. Her voice was full of self-blame: "It's all my fault. I didn't protect them well!"
Lu Chenxu put his arm around her waist: "Don't say that, it's not your fault! We are going to see the Four Treasures soon, don't be sad."
Soon they returned to Sun Shucai's house, where Guixiang had already prepared food and was waiting.
Since they were guests from the city, Guixiang specially killed a chicken to entertain them.
As soon as he sat down, Fan Laosan saw a pot of stewed chicken. He reached out and tore off a chicken leg without any politeness and started eating. While eating, he said to Guixiang: "Sister-in-law, your chicken meal is pretty good.
It's a bit bland, if more salt and pepper are added, it will probably taste better."
Guixiang glared at him with a look of disgust on her face: "If you want to eat, you can cook it yourself. You know how to eat every day, and it's not embarrassing."
At this time, Sun Shucai's son Sun Da happened to come back from the fields. He was the village chief of Daoxiang Village. There had been a heavy rain a few days ago, and the road leading to the fields in the village was washed away. He took several villagers early in the morning
Went to build roads.
Seeing Lu Chenxu and Mo Xiaodie, Sun Da was stunned for a moment: "Dad, are these two -?"
"Your aunt Mengxiang's grandson, Wenxiang's son, I told you a few days ago, is here to find the child!" Sun Shucai explained.
"Oh, hello, hello." Sun Da quickly came over and shook hands with Lu Chenxu.
After sitting down, he glanced at his wife unconsciously, and then looked at Lu Chenxu: "Don't tell me, he looks like your father."
Sun Da is in his fifties, a rural person, and his long-term field work makes him look a little dark. But he is very strong, has bright eyes, and is very energetic.
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Fan Laosan who was eating meat beside him, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes: "Didn't you say that the child is at Fan Laosan's house? Where is the child?"
Fan Laosan swallowed a mouthful of chicken, and then filled up another bowl of chicken soup: "Oh, brother, forget it, I came back a little late after drinking some wine last night, and the woman kept making a fuss, I
I couldn't hold it back, so I slapped her several times. Who knew she would actually run back to her parents' house in the middle of the night with the child in her arms? No, she was about to take these two to her parents' house after dinner to ask for someone!"
Those who knew him knew immediately that what he said was a lie. Guixiang curled her lips and said, "Your wife doesn't even dare to show off her temper in front of you. She is making a fuss with you? Fan Laosan, who are you lying to?"
"Sister-in-law Guixiang, you can't say this. That woman pretends to be pitiful in front of you, but she is really powerful behind her back!"
Sun Shucai coughed slightly: "Okay, stop talking and eat quickly. Sun Da, after dinner, you drive a three-wheeler to the third wife's house to pick up the child."
Everyone stopped talking and started to eat. Lu Chenxu and Mo Xiaodie were thinking about their children and had no appetite at all, so they just drank a few mouthfuls of porridge.
The chicken stewed with cinnamon basically went into Fan Laosan's stomach.
After dinner, Sun Da drove a three-wheeler and took everyone to prepare to go to Fan Lao's third daughter-in-law's house.
When the tricycle arrived at the entrance of the village, Fan Laosan saw Lu Chenxu's car, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Is this your car?"
Lu Chenxu ignored him and just nodded silently.
Fan Laosan rolled his eyes and suddenly held his stomach: "Ouch, my stomach hurts. Brother Sun, stop the car quickly. I have to go to the toilet!"
Sun Da made an emergency stop angrily: "You have so many things to do, who told you to eat so much chicken just now!"
At noon in summer, the sun was very hot. After Fan Laosan got out of the car, he held his stomach and ran to the toilet behind the canteen at the entrance of the village. Sun Da had no choice but to drive the car under the shade of the tree at the entrance of the canteen.
"Chenxu, it's hot out here. If you're thirsty, there's a cold drink shop here." Sun Da enthusiastically pointed to the canteen and introduced it to them.
The proprietress of the canteen, known as "Little Xishi", walked out in a charming manner, waving a fan, wearing a cheongsam and heavy makeup.
"Uncle Sun, who are these two? Are they relatives of yours?" Xiao Xishi's eyes have been lingering on Lu Chenxu since he came out.
"Yeah! Relative." Sun Da nodded, feeling that the look she was looking at Lu Chenxu was too hot and direct, and he seemed to take a few steps unintentionally, deliberately blocking Lu Chenxu behind him.
However, Little Xishi didn't seem to notice, and she actually walked directly in front of Lu Chenxu, stretched out her hand, and smiled charmingly: "Hello, everyone calls me Little Xishi."
This man is so handsome, so temperamental, he is like a real-life domineering president. When Xiao Xishi saw Lu Chenxu for the first time, her heart was beating so fast!
