When the end-of-day bell of Yongan Forest Farm rang, employees and workers walked out of the office and production workshop and walked together to the gate of the forest farm.
"Hey, Uncle Li!" When he walked to the gate, Lin Xiangshun asked Li Dayong: "Why don't you see Ruhai?"
Hearing this, Li Dayong looked around around, looked at his eldest son Li Baoyu, and then said: "It's probably that he got in the car first."
Hearing what Li Dayong said, Lin Xiangshun nodded slightly. Li Ruhai was not on duty today, so it was normal for him to make food first and get in the car first.
It's just that Li Ruhai usually loves to be lively, and after get off work, he always walks and chats with his coworkers, laughing and joking.
But when Li Dayong and the others got in the car, they didn't see Li Ruhai. After waiting for a while, when they were about to drive, Li Dayong felt something was wrong.
"Baoyu!" Li Dayong asked Li Baoyu, "Have you looked at your brother today?"
"No!" Li Baoyu also noticed something was wrong and said hurriedly: "Brother Shunzi and I haven't been idle all day today. Didn't we just come back?"
"Oops!" Li Dayong couldn't help but stood up from his seat and murmured: "Where did this kid go again?"
At this time, they heard a rapid whistle blowing outside the carriage. Li Dayong and the others knew that this was a reminder that the commuter bus was about to leave. After three whistles, the carriage door closed and started driving!
Li Dayong pulled Li Baoyu and said, "Let's go! Go down and look for it!"
"Ah? Ah!" Li Baoyu reacted, stood up and followed Li Dayong down.
"Uncle Li! I'll go with you too!" At this time, Lin Xiangshun chased to the door, but was stopped by Li Dayong.
"Shunzi, go back!" Li Dayong pushed Lin Xiangshun back into the car and said, "Go back and tell your second uncle that we have to go back later, so that they can eat first without waiting for us to eat!"
The commuter bus is about to leave, so whether Li Dayong and Li Baoyu can find Li Ruhai or not, they have to walk back.
The two men got off the train and hurried back. They had just gotten off work and there might still be people in the place, so the doorman, Old Jiang, was not in a hurry to lock the door.
At this time, the old man came out with a basin and poured dirty water on the wall. When he heard the sound of running, he looked up and saw Li Dayong and Li Baoyu coming back. The old Jiang asked curiously: "Dayong, what did you leave behind?"
?"
"Oh! Uncle Jiang!" Seeing Old Jiang, Li Dayong hurriedly walked towards him and asked as he walked: "Have you seen that my house is like the sea?"
"Ruhai?" Old Jiang was startled at first, then said: "He has already left!"
"Ah?" Li Dayong was shocked when he heard this. His Li Ruhai is only fourteen years old this year, and all his skills are in his mouth. This child can't walk home on the mountain road, so he stays in the forest farm until night after get off work, and then Go back with the big guys.
I heard from the old Jiang leader that Li Ruhai left. Who did he leave with? If he left by himself, would he encounter danger again?
At this time, Li Baoyu's face was flushed with anxiety, and he jumped to his feet and said: "What a damn kid! Go back alone, what should you do if something happens?"
"Baoyu, Baoyu!" Old Jiang saw this and hurriedly stopped him: "Your Ruhai didn't go by himself, he followed the car."
"Following the car?" Li Dayong and Li Baoyu heard this and asked in unison: "Who did the car go with?"
"I don't know him!" Old Jiang said: "The car from Lingnan was driven by my two brothers. They said they were looking for someone in our place. I didn't let them drive in in the morning. Who knew your Ruhai family knew them?
Yeah, he said he was a guest at your house (qiě)."
"Guest? Are you from Lingnan?" The Li family father and son looked at each other. Li Dayong frowned and looked at Li Baoyu and said, "Could he be your uncle?"
"No!" Li Baoyu said: "Didn't you hear what Mr. Jiang said, it's two brothers."
At this time, none of them expected that it was Jie Zhong or Jie Chen. Because Jie Chen had been back for less than ten days, who could think that he was here again?
So, Li Dayong turned around and asked the old man: "Uncle Jiang, what do the two brothers look like?"
"Oh!" Old Jiangtou Kaba Kaba muttered with his eyes wide open: "What should I say? The older one, the one with long hair, I don't think he is a good person."
These days, older people are very feudal. They think that men with long hair are not good people, and they will even call them yizi.
Li Dayong and Li Baoyu reacted instantly when they heard Lao Jiangtou say the words "long-haired darsa"!
Among the people they knew, the only man with long hair was Jie Zhong, and since the two brothers drove the car, it must be Jie Zhong and Jie Chen.
Jie Chen has lived in Zhao Jun's house for such a long time and got along well with Lao Li's family. Li Ruhai must be fine with them.
Li Dayong and Li Baoyu were just relieved when they heard the whistle of the train. Li Dayong groaned, turned around and ran out of the gate.
At this time, whistles sounded one after another, and the small train rushed down the mountain carrying the workers who were getting off work.
"You idiot!" Li Dayong, who missed the bus, yelled, but he was not scolding the driver, but Li Ruhai.
Li Dayong said: "This little brat! He even went back and he didn't even fart!"
"Yes!" Li Baoyu said, sneaking aside, "How could he tell others and ask them to send us a message?"
But now it's too late to scold him. The father and son are busy going back to the forest farm and want to ask Lao Jiangtou to borrow a flashlight.
Unexpectedly, the old Jiang leader did not have a flashlight, so Li Dayong borrowed the ax used to chop firewood in the mail room.
In addition to this axe, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu each took a pine tree ax, lit it on fire and walked home along the avenue.
They didn't dare to take the mountain road, so they could only transport firewood along the highway. The two men walked in tandem, shouting while walking, in order to scare away the wild beasts around them.
"You idiot!" Li Dayong yelled and scolded him, only to hear him say: "You were waiting for me to come back, I won't skin him!"
"Bah!" Li Baoyu was standing by, as if harsh words could relieve his hatred, and said, "I've wanted to beat him up a long time ago!"
At this time, Li Ruhai was holding his clothes and holding his shoulders, chatting with Xie Zhong in the car.
They did things smoothly this afternoon. When they arrived outside Yongsheng Village, Li Ruhai asked Jiechen to stop the car and asked him to stay in the car and watch the wild boars.
Li Ruhai and Xie Zhong got off the car and went to Yongsheng Village to ask his master to come out.
Upon entering Yongsheng Village, Li Ruhai did not ask where Old Yangtou's home was, but asked about the small shop.
After finding out more about it, Li Ruhai went to the small shop and bought a bottle of canned peach, a bottle of Shanhe White, a stick of Yingchun cigarettes and four kilograms of rice cakes for Lao Yangtou with his own money.
All these things together cost nearly five yuan. Xie Zhong wanted to pay for it at that time, but Li Ruhai refused to let it go, saying that it was because he was filial to his master, so he had to spend money.
When Xie Zhong heard this, his eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Li Ruhai. Although this child is young, his behavior is better than that of many adults, and he also repays his kindness, which is really rare!
In this way, the two of them came to Lao Yangtou's home carrying gifts. When Lao Yangtou saw Li Ruhai coming, he was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
When Li Ruhai said that he had bought those gifts with his own money, Old Yang was immediately moved.
Then, Li Ruhai revealed the reason for their visit. As for Old Yangtou, his wife had passed away and his son and daughter were working in Shanxia Town, otherwise he would not have given his job to Li Ruhai.
Anyway, I have nothing to do in the countryside, why don't I go to Lengchang to earn some money. As for the old man's retirement, it is not because of poor health. First, he is old, and second, he has to walk back by himself every time he gets off work, so his legs and feet are a little difficult.
If you go to Lengchang, you can just wait until you come back from the mountain to reunite with your children during the Chinese New Year, and you don’t have to go back and forth all the time.
Upon hearing the old man's promise, Xie Zhong happily negotiated with Old Yangtou about his salary and the work he needed to do at the forest farm.
Lao Yangtou felt that he had no problem, so he immediately agreed and told Xie Zhong to pick him up anytime.
Afterwards, Lao Yangtou wanted to stay with them for dinner, but Li Ruhai and Xie Zhong finally refused. He came out of Yongsheng Village and drove straight to Yong'an.
But the car suddenly stalled halfway. Jiechen got out of the car to repair it, but it stalled again within five minutes of driving.
Just like that, it took more than 20 minutes to drive, and Xie Chen didn't arrive after driving for more than three hours. Now it's the fifth time to repair the car.
When Jie Chen opened the door and got on the bus, he was greeted by Jie Zhong who scolded him. Jie Chen did not dare to say anything. After driving on the road for a short time, he heard the sound of a train whistle not far away.
"Hey? It's like the sea!" Jie Chen asked Li Ruhai curiously: "Why is there a train here?"
"This is heading to Lingnan..." Before Li Ruhai could finish his words, he suddenly pointed forward and said, "Brother Chen, look at who that is!"
Jie Chen took a look through the light from the car lights and suddenly said "Oh my god"!
Seeing the two of them like this, Xie Zhong immediately squinted his eyes and looked forward carefully, and laughed and said, "Aren't they my brothers?"
As soon as Xie Zhong finished speaking, Jie Chen honked the horn, and walking on the roadside in front of the car were none other than Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan!
Hearing the sound of the horn, Zhao Jun turned around, but his eyes were dazzled by the car lights. He took a step back and the car was parked next to him.
The doors on both sides opened, and Jie Chen, Li Ruhai, and Xie Zhong hurriedly got out of the car and ran to Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan.
When they saw it was Jie Chen and the others, Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan were deeply surprised, but they were guests as they came, and these two women were still hospitable hosts. They exchanged a few words on the roadside. Before Jie Zhong could explain his intention, Jie Chen greeted Jie Chen.
Be loyal and relieve your ministers at home.
So, Jie Chen drove, and Wang Meilan got into the passenger seat with her bag on her back. And her bag containing liquor and ham was carried into the trunk by Jie Zhong.
"Come on, brother!" Jie Zhong, who was standing on the trunk, reached down to take the sack from Zhao Jun's hand. At this time, Zhao Jun smelled the wild boar on the trunk.
"Why are you so sexy?" Zhao Jun sniffed and said, "It smells like cannon eggs?"
At this time, not only were the four hooves of the wild boar tied, but its mouth was also tied up with a rope by Jie Chen. Not only that, a sack was also placed on the pig's head.
The pig didn't make a sound, but it still smelled.
"Picked it up!" Before Xie Zhong could answer, Li Ruhai said to Zhao Jun from the side: "Picked it up in the mountains."
"Picked up in the mountains?" Zhao Jun didn't believe it. This big wild boar must have weighed about three hundred pounds. Even if it got into a trap, it wasn't Jie Zhong or Jie Chen who could catch it.
At this time, Li Ruhai said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, let's take a step to talk!"
