The second uncle's family is really nice. It's not tiring at all to get along with them. They are just like a family. They chat about their life and work outside these years and cheer each other on.
Although Xiaogang and I haven't seen each other for so many years, the two brothers still have a lot to talk about. I don't look down on their family just because I have become rich.
I know very well how I have come to achieve what I have achieved today.
I also hate people who feel superior to others when they have money. Maybe I have really changed compared to when I was young, but my nature cannot be changed.
We also had a pleasant chat during dinner in the evening. I, who don’t drink, also had two drinks with Xiaogang, just two drinks.
I didn't let Wu Di drink. Even if we don't leave tonight, one of him and I must be sober at all times.
Of course, two glasses of wine are not too much for me.
After dinner, we chatted for a while, and I told my second uncle and his family that they could come to me at any time if they have any difficulties and don't be afraid of troublesome me.
I'm not an ungrateful person. When my mother was still alive, my second uncle's family helped us a lot.
I keep these kindnesses in my heart, so every time I come back, I will come to see my second uncle and his family.
It's not that I don't help them, it's that they don't accept my help. I had to persuade my second uncle to accept the 10,000 yuan today.
At half past nine in the evening, I said goodbye to my second uncle’s house.
I don’t plan to live at home anymore. Firstly, the house has not been occupied for such a long time. It’s too troublesome to clean and prepare everything again. Secondly, it’s not safe. I’ve been staying in one place for a long time now, and I’m afraid.
Someone became suspicious.
So after leaving my second uncle's house, I asked Wu Di to drive to the city.
Only then did I remember the palm print. I was so excited about eating and chatting just now that I drank two glasses of wine and forgot to pay attention to what was in my pocket.
I quickly reached out and touched...
empty!
The pockets were empty, with only a pack of cigarettes and a lighter in both pockets, and nothing else.
At that moment, my heart started to beat faster and I panicked completely.
I quickly touched all the pockets on my body, but they were all empty.
I hurriedly turned on the dome light and searched next to the seat. I even lowered the seat completely and looked for it with a flashlight.
Still nothing!
I suddenly became anxious, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on my forehead.
When Wu Di saw this, he quickly asked me: "Brother Chen, what are you looking for?"
"I have something missing."
"What is it?"
"A box is so big, have you seen it?" I gestured with my hands and asked Wu Di.
Wu Di gradually slowed down the car and said to me: "I didn't see it! Did it fall somewhere? Is it important?"
My heart thumped, and I hurriedly said to Wu Di: "Hurry, go back to my second uncle's house."
Wu Di didn't hesitate and immediately turned around and accelerated the car to my second uncle's house.
I really hope that I accidentally dropped it at my second uncle’s house and there shouldn’t be any big problems, but I’m still panicking!
Even though I was watching so carefully, why could I still not see it? I deserve to die for stepping on my horse!
I was really anxious. It only took ten minutes to drive from my second uncle's house, but these ten minutes were quite long to me.
When I got back to my second uncle's house, the car hadn't stopped yet. I quickly opened the car door and jumped out. I hurried to the door of my second uncle's house and knocked on the door.
"Second uncle, it's me."
After a while, the second uncle came and opened the door, looked at me and said, "Xiao Feng, why are you back again?"
"Second uncle, I dropped something. I don't know if it was left at your house. I'll look for it."
"Okay." The second uncle hurriedly turned on the light for me and brought a flashlight to help me look for it.
But I didn't see any palm prints in the place where we just ate, or in any other place I stayed.
My heartbeat keeps racing, what should I do if it disappears?
I didn't think about it, I didn't even think that things were lost from my hands before I left the village.
The second uncle asked me at this time: "Xiao Feng, what did you lose?"
"A box, about this big. Second uncle, have you seen it?" I gestured again and asked the second uncle.
The second uncle was stunned for a moment. Judging from his expression, he seemed to have seen it before.
Then, he said to me: "Oh no! You hurry up and chase Xiaogang. I just saw him picking up a box of some kind. He left not long ago."
I turned around and saw that Xiaogang's car was gone. Sure enough, he had left.
I nodded quickly and quickly returned to the car.
But then I remembered that if he had left just now, we should have seen his car on the way back!
I felt something was wrong, so I asked my second uncle: "Second uncle, which direction did Xiaogang go?"
"Here, this road is newly built in the village and is an internal road in the village." The second uncle pointed.
The direction he pointed was exactly opposite to the direction we came back from just now, so that makes sense.
I didn't say any more and quickly said to Wu Di: "Xiao Wu, drive, speed up and catch up."
At the same time, I also took out my mobile phone and called Xiaogang.
The call went through, but he didn't answer it. When I called again, he turned off his phone.
What's happening here?
Did he just come here for the palm print?
If so, when did he take it from my pocket?
I kept urging Wu Di to drive faster. Fortunately, this road was a newly built cement road and the surface was quite smooth.
But we chased all the way out without seeing any car. When we got on the main road outside, we still didn't see Xiaogang's car.
I continued to call him, but still turned off the phone.
I was really anxious, and I could clearly feel that he had turned off the phone on purpose.
Xiaogang, Xiaogang, I trust you so much, how could you do this?
We haven’t seen each other for so many years. Are you really here for the palm print when you suddenly come back?
Many doubts inevitably arose in my mind, but I was also extremely anxious.
I also blame myself. I obviously paid attention to it all the time, but why didn’t I pay attention after eating?
I was extremely upset, but there was nothing I could do.
I can only light a cigarette to try to relieve my anxiety.
"Brother Chen, what exactly is missing? Seeing that you are so anxious, is it important?"
"Well, it's more important than my life."
"How about you call your second uncle and ask him if he can contact Xiaogang?"
That's right, I was in a hurry and almost forgot.
I quickly called my second uncle again and said urgently: "Hey, second uncle, are you still awake? Can you contact Xiaogang? I can't get through to him."
Unexpectedly, my second uncle also said to me: "I called him just now, and he hung up on me directly. Now he has turned off his phone."
I was completely shocked.
The second uncle said to me again: "Xiao Feng, is that thing you lost very important? You can see how much it is worth. I will pay you the money. Don't worry."
I sighed and said, "Second uncle, this is not about money. Forget it, it's fine. Do you know where Xiaogang lives in the city?"
"I really don't know that, but I know where he works."
