Ermiao was cooking in the kitchen, and from time to time she had to say a word to Fu Bao, but she didn't think much about it when she didn't hear the response, and thought that Fu Bao was too hot to enter the house.

Ermiao cooked the meal, and Zaohua also came back from school, she divided the lunch into two parts, one for the two sisters and brothers to eat, and one for Fugui to send.

In the countryside, every three summers, the school will give the children a wheat holiday, let them go home to help, but Zaohua is a graduating class, facing the advancement, their teacher canceled the graduation class's wheat vacation, let them make up classes in the school.

Er Miao took off her apron and dusted her body, "Jujube flower, my mother baked cakes, you take care of your younger brother to eat, and my mother will send food to your father." Er Miao said and shouted into the house, "Fubao, come out to eat." ”

"I'm going to call my brother." Zaohua went to the house with her schoolbag on her back, "Fubao, Fubao." "I looked inside and outside the jujube flower house, but I didn't find Fubao's figure.

"Mother, my brother is not at home." Zaohua put down her schoolbag and came out to tell Ermiao.

Ermiao didn't care yet, "Maybe you're playing outside, you go outside to look for it." ”

"Oh." Jujube Hua searched around the house, but still couldn't find it.

When she got home, Er Miao was carrying the basket on her arm and preparing to go out, and Zaohua hurriedly said, "Mother, I didn't see my brother outside." ”

"Impossible." Er Miao muttered, she stood outside the gate and shouted a few times, "Fubao, it's time for dinner-"

After shouting, Er Miao listened attentively, but didn't hear any movement from Fu Bao, "Where did this kid go?" She handed the basket to Jujube Flower, "You go and bring food to your father, I will look for it nearby, and I saw your brother on the way and asked him to hurry home." ”

"Hey!" Zaohua agreed, carried the basket and walked towards her contracted land.

Ermiao first looked for it nearby, didn't see anyone, thought that the child might have gone to someone else's house to play, but when she searched all the people that Fubao might go to, it was still fruitless, Ermiao finally felt that something was wrong, she asked when she saw someone, but there was still no information, Ermiao was scared, she thought of what she had done, since she could steal other people's children, would someone also steal Fubao? Besides, her blessing is so good-looking, it is rare to attract people at first glance.

Thinking of this, Er Miao suddenly felt cold all over his body, trembling like chaff, "Fu Bao-" Er Miao shouted in the village like crazy, "Fu Bao, it's time to eat-"

"Fubao, where have you been? Don't scare my mother-"

The villagers also felt that something was wrong when they saw Ermiao's state, and they all gathered around, and someone asked, "Ah! Damn it, what's wrong? Fu Bao is missing? ”

Er Miao seemed to see the life-saving straw, she grabbed the hand of the visitor tightly, and didn't care that her face was full of snot and tears, "Sister-in-law, have you seen my family's Fubao?" ”

The woman who was called the eldest sister-in-law shook her head, "No, I've been working in the fields, and I just came to prepare for cooking. ”

Er Miao pinned his hopes on another person, "Second uncle, have you seen my family's blessing?" ”

"Nope." The second uncle also shook his head.

The second uncle's name is Xue Zhongren, and he has no blood relationship with the rich family, and the reason why Er Miao calls him the second uncle is because the Niu family and Xue Zhongren can meet a little kinship after eight turns.

I asked all over the place, but no one noticed Fu Bao, Er Miao was about to collapse, she forced a trace of clarity in her brain and begged: "Fu Bao is gone, I beg everyone to help me find it." ”

Don't look at Ermiao's usual work, but when something happens to her family, the villagers are still very enthusiastic, and someone immediately stood up, "Everyone help find it, Ermiao, don't worry, the child is small, maybe he is hiding somewhere to play and is tired and asleep." Saying that, he also comforted Ermiao, "When I was a child, I once played Tibetan cats with my children, hid in the cellar, and didn't wake up until dark, but my father and mother were ruined." ”

This person's words were like a shot in the arm, which made Er Miao immediately feel energetic, "Then I'll go home and take a look in the cellar." ”

"Go ahead, we'll help you find it nearby."

Ermiao ran back home with a smoke, lifted the lid of the cellar and climbed down, "Fubao, Fubao." She called several times, and when her eyes adjusted to the light of the cellar, she did not find Fu Bao.

"Fu Bao, Fu Bao." Ermiao rummaged through the cellar, but except for a few sacks with moisture, she still didn't find her precious son.

Er Miao's legs were weak, and he suddenly sat on top of the sack, looking at the sky above his head, thinking about where his son might go, "Will he go to his grandmother's house?" ”

Yes, I must have gone to my mother's house, my father and mother have always been hurting to Fubao, and Fubao must have gone to find his grandmother.

Ermiao crawled out of the cellar tremblingly, pulled out his legs and ran to his mother's house.

Xue Zhongren, who was helping, saw Er Miao and hurriedly asked, "Er Miao, have you found Fubao?" ”

On a June day, the heat was steaming, Er Miao was anxious, sweating, she turned around from the cellar again, and the black ash was wiped on her face, and she didn't know, at this time, she was washed by sweat, black and white, "No, I'll go back to my mother's house to see if he went to my mother's house." ”

"How rich is your family? Does he know that the child is gone? ”

Xue Zhongren's reminder, Er Miao instantly remembered that she was in a hurry and forgot all about her wealth.

Er Miao begged: "Second uncle, please go to my house and tell Fugui, I'll go back to my mother's house first." ”

"Okay, you can go quickly." Xue Zhongren hurriedly waved his hand.

Ermiao ran home, pushed open the courtyard door, first quickly looked at the yard, did not see her son, she hurriedly walked to the house, shouting as she walked: "Daddy, is Fubao here?" ”

The door "clanged", startling the old couple who were eating, "Who!" Father Niu stood up dissatisfied, and was about to go to the yard, when he heard the voice of his daughter, the dissatisfaction on his face suddenly disappeared, "You said that you are also in your thirties, why don't you have any stability at all?" ”

Er Miao didn't care about Father Niu at all, "Mother, has Fubao been here?" ”

"Nope." Aunt Niu was still inexplicable, "He is such a little villain, if you don't bring him, how can he come by himself?" ”

"Mother-." Er Miao finally collapsed, she sat directly on the ground, and cried, "Fubao is gone, what can I do-"

Father Niu and his wife were startled, threw down the chopsticks and ran over, "Girl, you say it well, why can't you call it?" ”

Er Miao cried all over again, "I'll go home at noon, let him sit in the shade and play, and when I cook dinner, I won't be able to find him, mother, do you say that someone else will take him away." ”

"Look at what you said, how can such a big child say take it away? Did he go to someone else's house to play? ”

"No, I searched for everything, even in the cellar, but I didn't find him."

Father Yan has already begun to walk out, "Don't cry, hurry up and go out to find it." ”

"Oh, oh." Er Miao helped Aunt Niu's hand to get up, followed behind Father Niu, and stumbled up.

Fugui didn't know anything, so he ate mung bean soup, ate several oil cakes in a row, and ate until he had a burp, then patted his belly and prepared to continue working, "Hua, you can go home quickly after eating, don't delay your afternoon class." ”

"I can't delay." Jujube Hua pulled the oil cake and put it in her mouth one by one, "Our teacher said that if you can't be busy at home, you can ask for leave to go home to help." ”

"Don't, you study hard, you don't need to stretch your hands for the work at home."

While the father and daughter were talking, Fugui saw a man running this way while shouting, and kept waving, "Fugui, your son is gone—"

Fugui recognized this person's figure, "Isn't this the second uncle?" What are you doing in a hurry? ”

The man got closer and closer, and his voice became clearer and clearer, "Fugui, you hurry home, your Fubao can't be found." ”

"Second uncle, what are you talking about?" Fugui thought there was something wrong with his ears.

Xue Zhongren stood on the ridge panting, "Huhu, Fugui, Ermiao let me tell you, Huhu, your Fubao is gone." ”

Fugui hurriedly ran to the edge of the field, "Didn't Fubao follow Ermiao home?" How could it be gone? ”

Xue Zhongren swallowed his saliva, "Now that everyone in the village is helping your family find a child, Er Miao has gone back to her parents' house to find someone, you hurry up, don't grind." ”

Zaohua followed behind her father, and when she heard Xue Zhongren say this, she hurriedly asked, "Second grandfather, hasn't my mother found her brother yet?" ”

"Hana, do you know my brother is gone?" Fugui hurriedly asked his daughter.

Zaohua nodded hurriedly, "My mother said to call my brother to eat, I didn't see my brother, my mother said let me bring you food, and she went to find my brother." ”

"You kid, why didn't you say it earlier!" The rich and noble pulled out their legs and ran home.

"I ......" Zaohua still wanted to explain, but before the words came out, Fugui had already run away.

"Zaohua, the second grandfather is gone, you pack up your things and go home quickly." After Xue Zhongren finished speaking, he ran after Fugui's back.

Zaohua hurriedly returned to the field, threw the leftover bread into the basket, picked up the basket and ran.

Fugui ran home, and someone had already gathered at his door, Fugui hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Has Ermiao found the child? ”

"I didn't see it." Everyone, you are gossiping, "We have helped you find the wealth, and no one has seen Fubao." ”

"That's right, Fugui, we've searched all over the village, but we haven't seen the shadow of Fubao."

"A child as big as Fubao can't disappear without a trace of any movement."

"Yes, it's impossible, ask if you've seen it again?"

"Thank you, big guy, I have to trouble the villagers to help." Fugui waved his hands and thanked everyone.

"I don't have to say."

"Ermiao!" Fugui entered the courtyard gate and shouted a few times.

"Your Ermiao went to her mother's house to find someone, and she hasn't come back yet, maybe Fubao went to her grandmother's house by herself."

Fugui's heart is a little calm, and he looks forward to Ermiao coming back with his son.

Father Niu saw from a distance that his son-in-law's house was full of people, he trotted all the way over, wiped the sweat from his face with the back of his hand, "Fugui, Fubao has not come back." ”

Hearing his father-in-law say this, Fugui's heart was cold, so his son didn't go to his father-in-law's house at all.
