Everyone tried to rush home on the way, but fortunately the weather was not raining, but there was some heat, so everyone had to walk slowly, and met some acquaintances on the way, and everyone greeted each other.

It was almost ten o'clock when I got home, and my grandfather was feeding the chickens and ducks in the yard, and when everyone came back, I kept calling my grandfather, and my grandfather smiled and said, "You are back." ”

Tao's mother and sister-in-law hurried to the kitchen to cook, and Wang's father and son, as well as the eldest brother, took out all the corn that had not been dried and dried it in the yard with a large mat.

Tao Anyi changed the skirt on his body and came to help, and after an hour, all the corn in the house was moved, and everyone finally took a breath.

At this time, the smell of meat and spicy smell came from the kitchen, and everyone sat in the hall and chatted after washing their hands.

Tao Anyi went to the kitchen to help, and then Brother Tao said gratefully: "Brother-in-law, thanks to your help this time, I'm afraid it will take a month for us to collect it ourselves." ”

Dad Wang also smiled and said, "It's right for the family to help." ”

Grandpa smiled and wrinkled and asked, "Don't you work in the city?"

At this time, Dad Wang turned around and took out two sets of clothes he bought for his grandfather and asked him to try them on.

This is a set of gray silk clothes for the elderly to wear in summer, and after my grandfather put it on, he said it was cool, and Dad Wang said that it was good, the size was appropriate, and it was a little loose.

Dad Wang smiled and said, "Dad, we won't go to work for the time being, we have to go far away, go to the xx slope, we used to work over there, and we will write to you when we get there." ”

Brother Tao was very surprised when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "It's so far." ”

Dad Wang smiled and said, "My brother is over there, let's go over and help him." ”

After hearing this, everyone said that it was so. At this time, the meal was ready, and Mrs. Tao brought the food to the table and asked everyone to eat, and everyone sat down at the table and waited for the dishes to be served one after another.

There are six dishes on the table, there are stir-fried beef with celery, meat with green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a mutton soup, a fried eggplant, and a fried cabbage, all of which were cut by my grandfather near his home.

Each dish is filled with a large white porcelain bowl, everyone greets each other and sits down to eat, the dish is fried by Tao Ma, the taste is appropriate, everyone eats and praises.

At this time, the sound of a man swearing loudly was heard from the other side, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it while eating.

At this time, my grandfather put down his chopsticks, got up and walked out, Tao's mother hurriedly put them down, and followed out, Tao's mother asked loudly: "Dad, what are you going to do?"

My grandfather said as he walked, "Don't come, I'll take a look." ”

How can Tao's mother rest assured to follow, my grandfather came to the neighbor's house next door, the family is a three-room earthen house, and the house is very old.

There was a small amount of corn drying in the yard, and an old man was sitting on the bench at the door, and an uncle with an angry face was pointing at him and scolding: "Old and immortal, don't die yet, and still eat so much every day?"

When my grandfather saw it, he persuaded him: "Flower boy, why are you scolding your father like this?"

Tao's mother also saw it and persuaded her: "Big brother, it's not right for you to do this." ”

The man named Hua Huafu ignored them, turned around and went into the house with a pile of clothes and shoes.

threw it in front of the old man and yelled: "Old immortal, I have been serving you for fifteen years, and my wife has also run away, you are satisfied now." ”

After speaking, he pushed the old man sitting on the bench, only to see that the old man's eyes were a little dull, and he closed his mouth and did not speak, but kept screaming hungry.

Grandpa turned around and went home to scoop a bowl of rice for him, and brought some meat and vegetables to him, and Tao's mother stood there and whispered persuasion.

At this time, the man complained to her with a handful of snot and frustration, the family was poor, and he only found a wife at the age of thirty-five.

My father became a little demented after his wife came for a month, and when my wife saw this situation, she got up early one morning and left, leaving a letter.

He didn't read much, and he didn't know some words, so he asked Brother Tao to read it, and after Brother Tao read it, he read it to him, saying that your wife is gone, and told you not to look for her.

The 30,000 yuan bride price given will be returned to him at that time, and she is now going to work outside and send him the money when the time comes.

He cried after hearing this, Brother Tao persuaded him, you work hard now, you have hope, you still have your father, at this time Hua Huafu cried and said: "My father is a little demented now, and my wife sees that my family is poor."

It's possible to leave because of the burden, God, my life is so hard, I just got married, and my wife said to leave,"

After Brother Tao's persuasion, he slowly stopped crying, and then asked: "I want to tell the village chief about this matter and see what he says." ”

Brother Tao said yes, after the village chief knew, he took it to heart, and then prepared to go to the woman's hometown, which is a few villages away from this village, and it takes a day to walk back and forth.

He asked Brother Tao to help take care of his father, and he and the village chief went to his wife's hometown to see where she had gone.

Because the road is not easy to walk, the two of them spent a lot of time on the road, and just after dawn in the morning, they loaded a few flatbreads, brought a pot of water on their bodies, and went on the road with the village chief.

The country roads are not open to traffic, there are few cars, all rely on walking, two people are hungry and nibble on flatbread and drink some water to continue walking. When I came to the main road, I finally saw a tricycle carrying people.

The two hurriedly stopped the car, but fortunately they could still sit down, and the two of them immediately went up and told where they were going, and the tricycle was burning diesel and rumbling towards the front.

When the road was over, the driver's eldest brother asked them to get out of the car, paid him six yuan for the fare, and the two of them continued to walk.

Hua Huafu has been here twice, once to pick up his wife to his home to get married, and once to go to his wife's house for the first time on a blind date.

My wife's family is also very poor, so I finally saved tens of thousands of yuan, gave 30,000 dowry money, and waited for my wife to come and prepare to renovate the house, and my wife agreed, who knew that my father suddenly became demented.

It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon before he arrived at his wife's house, and Hua Huafu asked his father-in-law and mother-in-law where his wife was.

Father-in-law: They said they didn't know. The village chief patiently told the matter, and the father-in-law shook his head and said that his daughter had not come back at all, and if he didn't believe it, he could go to the house to find it.

Hua Huafu checked his father-in-law's house everywhere and found that there was really no, so he went to ask the neighbor again, and the neighbor said that he didn't see his wife come back.

The village chief found the village chief, told him what had happened, and saw people contact him. The village chief said yes.

Hua Huafu and the village chief stayed at his father-in-law's house for one night, and their family also had three mud houses, and there was a younger brother at home.

The next morning, he told his father-in-law that if his wife came back, he must tell him. Father-in-law said yes.

The two rushed back again, and after the village chief went back, he reported the incident to the police in the town, and the police sent out his wife's ID card, and the whole country was networked, so that people who saw it could report the crime.

Hua Huafu did some crops at home, let the outside be fair, take care of his demented father patiently, and wait for news from his wife.
