"Jingle bell ......" The master was talking, and suddenly there was a bicycle bell at the door, and before the bell fell, the big voice of Wang Shun, the messenger of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, rang out: "Is Shi Youtian at home?" Letters, letters! ”

Shi Youtian recognized this voice, Dayong often sent this and that to his home, Shi Youtian and Wang Shun were both mature people, and they didn't know what Dayong sent home, Shi Youtian was overjoyed in his heart, and first raised his head and agreed: "In, here!" After speaking, he pushed Sanfu and motioned him to take the letter first, and then he got up slowly and walked to the door to greet Wang Shun: "Wang Shun, are you tired, come home to rest?" ”

Wang Shun shook his head and asked Shi Youtian to look at the bag hanging under the back seat: "No, you see there are still so many things that haven't been delivered."

"What's the panic, come and have a cup of tea, it's almost time to eat, let's go after eating."

"No need, it's hard to find a job these days, I have to work hard, I'm not like you." Wang Shun looked at Shi Youtian enviously: "You have a good son, I will send you something home, I can't do it, the children are like newly hatched house sparrows, waiting for me to help with their big mouths." ”

"That's it." Shi Youtian smiled with honor: "It is said that raising children to prevent old age, and it is time for children to be filial to the old when they are older." ”

"Your family is brave, not only filial piety, but too filial, these years, there are not many such good children, when my child can do half of your family's bravery, I will be satisfied." Wang Shun shook his head with emotion, held on to the handlebars, and rode away.

Sending Wang Shun away, Shi Youtian took the letter from Sanfu's hand, tore open the corners, and pulled out the letter paper, Shi Youtian was illiterate, he unfolded the envelope and looked at it for a while, before handing the letter to Ercheng: "Er, you read it." ”

"Hey!" Ercheng took the letter, cleared his throat happily and read: "Dad, mother, you have been in good health recently." As soon as he read a sentence, Ercheng felt a warm little body next to his legs, he looked down and saw that it was his daughter Chunmei, and when he looked up again, the old lady and daughter-in-law were standing beside him, stretching out their heads to look at the letter paper in his hand.

Sun Xiufang said: "What did your eldest brother send home again, think about it quickly." ”

"What time is it, hurry up and cook your meal, I really can't miss anything!" Shi Youtian pretended to scold the old woman.

"It's in the steamer, it won't need me, second child."

He Xiaoxia was a little embarrassed, and returned to the stove to burn the fire, but her ears were ridged, listening to the content of Ercheng's letter.

Ercheng continued to read: "It's time to collect wheat at home, I'm busy with work and don't have time to go home to help the second elder work, the second elder pays more attention to his body when he works, and now I don't have anything else, but something happened at home, and Coco lost ......."

"What?!" As soon as they heard that Coco was lost, Shi Youtian and Sun Xiufang were startled, and shouted in unison, He Xiaoxia stopped burning the fire, got up and walked to her mother-in-law, and said in disbelief: "Chunmei Daddy, what did you just say, say it again?" ”

Ercheng thought that he had read it wrong, looked down carefully, and read it again, and when he read that Coco was lost, he realized it later: "What! Coco is lost, how did you lose it? He didn't read it anymore, and first read the general content at a glance, and then said to his father: "Coco is lost, I don't know if it was abducted by traffickers, and I don't know where the child is now, my eldest brother means that he is afraid that if the child returns to his hometown by himself, let us find it in his hometown." ”

Sun Xiufang's heart was furious, and she said indignantly: "The child is lost, what does she Wang Ying eat, a housewife, her task is to take care of the family and serve the child, this child can be lost, what is she doing as a mother!" I said that if you are looking for a daughter-in-law, you can't find someone who is too handsome, what's the use of this light handsome, he is not a person who lives a life, and he can't even look at a child! ”

Ercheng was a little anxious, so he wanted to go out and see: "Mother, what are you talking about now, at this time, we have to go out to find it quickly, in case Keke is here at home, what about the fifth, sixth, where to play cards, Simin, you hurry up and call people back, let's go out to find it together." ”

The four people didn't move, but just lifted their eyelids: "It's time to harvest wheat, how can I have time to find someone." The cool voice was like pouring a bucket of cold water on a hot pot, which instantly awakened everyone's irritable hearts.

• Everyone thinks about it, tomorrow will be harvested, this harvest wheat can not wait, dry wheat if not cut, stay in the field for more than a day, that is the loss of the day, if it rains, wheat can directly germinate on the head of the ear, and then more serious if you accidentally encounter an open fire, dry wheat instantly. Just look, in an instant, there is no more than ten acres of wheat left, and the fire cannot be extinguished. Not to mention the family's hard work for a year, where does the food come from, the dried melon noodles left over from the previous year can not last in the autumn, the weather is hot, and the wild vegetables in the field have grown, but people can't eat wild vegetables every day, they don't eat any food, and no one can stand it for three days.

• A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and finally move their eyes to the old couple and stop talking.

• Shi Youtian's throat was uncomfortable again, and he coughed heavily a few times before saying, "I think, Coco is only a little older, less than 5 years old (dialect: age)." ”

• Sun Xiufang nodded: "After the Dragon Boat Festival, I will be born 5." ”

The old man continued: "You said that this child who was born less than 5 years ago, what did he do when he went back to his hometown, I don't think it is very likely that Coco will return to his hometown." ”

• Ercheng and Sanfu both nodded, Ercheng thought about it, this sentence was really true, he frowned: "Dad, if Keke didn't go back to his hometown by himself, then you said, did you meet a human trafficker?" ”

• "It's hard to say, what did your eldest brother say in the letter, did you find it?" ”

• "I found it, and I reported it to the police, but now I can't see anyone alive or dead." ”

Listening to Ercheng talk about the corpse of the dead corpse, He Xiaoxia felt a tightness in her heart, Shi Ke of the eldest brother's family, so beautiful and cute, to be honest, much better looking than her own Chunmei, the little girl likes to stick to her as soon as she returns to her hometown, and her little mouth follows sweetly behind her ass, the second aunt this, the second aunt that. She didn't dare to imagine that her delicate little niece would become a --- corpse.

Sanfu took the letter, read it carefully from beginning to end, looked up and asked Shi Youtian: "Dad, shall we go out to find it?" ”

Shi Youtian thought for a moment: "Look, let's do it, let's go out to find it when we harvest the wheat." ”

The four people pursed their mouths and said coldly: "After harvesting the wheat, I have to fight again, pay public grain, plant sticks, there are many things, and after more than a month of busyness, what else are you looking for?" ”

Everyone understands this reason, but the eldest brother said that it is not good not to look for it in his hometown, and Sun Xiufang's sad old face is about to twist into a pimple: "If you don't look for it, what will you say when you go back and ask?" ”

"What should the eldest brother ask, how can we say what we want, what can we do!" Simin spread his hands and turned his head to look at He Xiaoxia: "Second sister-in-law, have you steamed your rice, don't mess with the pot." ”

Ah! After listening to everyone's talk, the rice pot was forgotten, He Xiaoxia hurriedly ran back to the stove and hurriedly pulled out all the firewood in the stove. Lift the pot to see, it's okay, it's okay, there is no paste pot. She took a large basin and brought out all the noodles, set them aside to dry, refill the pot with water, and then put the raw noodles on top.

As soon as the rice came out of the pot, Wusheng and Liuquan came back smelling the smell, and as soon as they stepped into the courtyard gate, Wusheng shouted: "Mother! Second sister-in-law! Is the meal ready? I'm starving! ”

Liuquan is even worse, he went straight to the rice bowl non-stop, and he didn't think the hot noodles that had just come out of the pot were hot, so he pinched it and put it in his mouth.

"Sixth son, you are such an adult, what do you look like, your hands are dirty or not, your father hasn't eaten yet!" Seeing her son like this, Sun Xiufang was dissatisfied, and walked over and patted the back of Liuquan's hand: "Go!" While waiting to go! ”

"Mother, look at your clean, don't you know if you don't eat clean?" Liu Quan smiled, rubbed the back of his right hand with his left hand, and sat down at the square table, only then did he feel that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and his father and several brothers were solemn and worried.

He picked up a tea bowl, drank all the water in it, and asked, "What's the matter, his face is as tense as a god of fire." ”

"Big brother's coco is lost, this is no longer a letter, let us help find it." Sanfu raised his arm and handed the letter to Liuquan's eyes.

"Who lost it?" Liuquan was a little puzzled, took the letter and read it, and after reading it, he slapped the table and stood up: "Let's go!" Go out and find it! The eldest brother has said that what if Keke comes to his own house, what are they doing sitting there? Seeing that the big guys didn't move, he looked at his father and then at his brothers: "What's wrong?" ”

Simin picked up the tea bowl, took a few sips slowly, and said with a sigh of relief: "You go." ”

"Oh yes, it's time to eat, right, I'll look for it after dinner." Liuquan touched his belly: "I'm really hungry." He slipped over to his mother and looked at the rice in the big basin: "Mother, you can eat, hurry up, I'm going to go out to find cocoa after eating." ”

Sun Xiufang had already pounded the garlic and chili peppers with garlic mortars, put the ingredients into the noodles, and mixed well with two pairs of chopsticks: "You go and get the bowl, that's it, you eat first." ”

Liuquan brought a stack of big sea bowls, Sun Xiufang first took a bowl and handed it to Liuquan, and ordered: "Send it to your father first." ”

"Okay!" Liuquan held the bowl and brought it to Shi Youtian's face.

"Put it on the table, I'll eat it later." Shi Youtian took out a dry tobacco pouch from his waist, filled a pot of shredded tobacco, and took a few puffs.

Seeing that his father was so sad that he didn't even eat, Liuquan put the bowl on the dining table and comforted his father by the way. "Dad, don't worry, I'll go out and find it when I'm eating."

"Well, you guys eat first." The old man waved his hand.

While speaking, Sun Xiufang brought up the rice bowls one by one, and when she boarded, the men at the table hugged a large bowl and buried their faces in the bowl to eat.

It's really like a remnant of the wind, the second pot of noodles has just come out of the pot, and several men's bowls have been clean as if they have been licked.

After lunch, Liuquan gave a "burp", touched his belly, and when he was full, he poured another bowl of water, drank his stomach and beckoned a few brothers: "Let's go, go out to find someone, I think we should go to the station to find it first." ”

Liuquan took the lead and walked out of the gate, talking to himself and walked a few steps to feel wrong, looking back, none of the brothers stood up and followed him, he looked at the big guy, and looked puzzled: "Why don't you move?" ”

Sun Xiufang's consulted eyes looked at Shi Youtian: "His father, we will start harvesting wheat tomorrow, why don't we go out and look for it this afternoon?" Otherwise, my heart is not steady. ”

"Well, let's go." Shi Youtian said to Ercheng: "Second brother, you lead a few brothers to the train station and bus station to go around, and when your eldest brother asks, we can talk." ”

Hulala, the four young men all stood up and walked towards the door together, the four people walked the slowest, he followed the four brothers and walked leisurely for a while, and when he saw a fork in the road in front of him, his mind turned and shouted: "Second brother, third brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, wait for me." ”

Sanfu looked back a little impatiently and said, "Fourth, what are you really saying, you can't even walk, right?" ”

Simin didn't care about the third brother's attitude towards him, and said with a smile: "My eyes are not good, I walk slowly, I just want to discuss with everyone, I don't think we can find it together, it's better for us to divide it into several directions, one person to find a piece, so that the range is larger, what do you say." ”

Wusheng pinched a grasshopper and found a grass to put on it: "Eh, don't talk about the fourth brother, what are you doing here, your brain is enough, your method is good."

After a little discussion, the five brothers agreed to Simin's suggestion, and one of them chose a direction and left. The four people waited until they couldn't see the shadows of their brothers, found a big tree, lay down in the shade, and said in their hearts: Look for them, if you can find them, it would be strange!
