Seeing that I didn't say anything, Aunt Yanyan quickly gave the third uncle a hand.

"Brother Guangping, this is not the place to talk. Shouyi finally came back. Come to my house together in the evening. We have to give Shouyi a good break."

The third uncle, whose real name is Li Guangping, only reacted when he heard that Aunt Yan Yan was preparing for dinner.

"Ouch... look at my brain, then Haiyan'er, please take Shouyi to your house first. I still have a trapped hare at home.

I originally planned to take it to the market to sell, but we happened to stew it together for Shouichi in the evening."

Ever since Erye and I left Xiaolinhe Village, we have never come back.

As for whether my father and second master came back later, I don't know.

There was nowhere to go anyway, so I followed Aunt Yanyan to his house.

When passing by the alley of my house, I saw a big rusty lock hanging on the dilapidated gate. Through the crack in the door, I could vaguely see that the yard was full of weeds and scrap wood as tall as a person.

It seems that my father never came back after I left.

"Aunt Yanyan, has my father ever returned to Xiaolinhe in these years?"

Aunt Yanyan shook her head and said, "No. Since he went out to work, he has never come back, and no one in the village knows his whereabouts."

"Has the second master been back recently?" I quickly continued to ask.

Aunt Yanyan hesitated for two seconds and then nodded slightly.

"Uncle Tianqiao comes back every year, and even came back once in the past two months. There was a heavy rain last autumn, and his old houses collapsed due to disrepair, so he stayed at your third uncle's house for a few days.

Haven't you been living with Uncle Tianqiao?"

Two months ago, I was still in Changyang Mountain.

When I heard that the second master had returned to Xiaolinhe Village, my heart sank, and I quickly asked Aunt Yanyan: "The second master and I separated half a year ago.

I have been looking for him now, but he has been avoiding me and I don't know his whereabouts.

The second master is almost ninety years old and running around alone, which makes me very worried.

Aunt Yanyan, what did the second master do when he came back? Did he say where he would go?"

Aunt Yanyan smiled awkwardly, shook her head and said, "I don't know about that, but Uncle Tianqiao is so capable, nothing will happen to him.

You don't have to worry too much. If your third uncle comes over later, you can ask him.

Uncle Tianqiao stayed at his house for two or three days, maybe he will know some news."

I nodded slightly, that was all I could do now.

I was able to rush back to Xiaolinhe Village this time mainly because of the guidance of Honggu. Does Honggu know that the second master has returned to Xiaolinhe?

Aunt Yanyan's husband died of cancer in her early years and she has been a widow for many years. Now she still has a mother-in-law in her seventies at home.

Aunt Yanyan has not remarried for many years, but has chosen to live with her mother-in-law.

Many people introduced her to her when she was young, but she always disagreed and insisted on supporting her mother-in-law until she died.

Because Aunt Yanyan's mother-in-law's surname is Chen, I usually call her Granny Chen.

Grandma Chen was bitten on the leg by a venomous snake when she was out in the field in her early years. Due to lack of timely treatment, she became permanently disabled.

Now that she is basically sitting in a wheelchair in her later years, Aunt Yanyan pushes her out to the yard to bask in the sun during the day, and Aunt Yanyan cooks three meals a day.

Instead of having any conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they get along very harmoniously, just like sisters.

When Aunt Yanyan took me home, Granny Chen was sitting in a wheelchair basking in the sun, holding a radio in her arms and listening to Beihe Bangzi.

The old lady is very energetic and can hum along from time to time.

"Mom, look who I brought back."

The old lady raised her eyelids and looked at me carefully.

"Is it Xiaocheng from the old Yuan family who has returned?"

Aunt Yanyan quickly explained with a smile: "Mom, please see clearly, it's not Brother Xiaocheng. This is Brother Xiaocheng's son Shouyi!"

"Grandma Chen, how are you doing recently?"

"Shouyi! You're back, come and show Grandma Chen a good look."

Grandma Chen put on her reading glasses, grabbed my hand and patted it, her eyes full of joy.

"Shouyi, you chat with your grandma Chen first, and I'll get you some food!"

I sat on the threshold with Grandma Chen and chatted about household matters together.

"Shouichi! Did my old brother come back with you this time?"

I patted the back of Grandma Chen's hand and comforted me: "Grandma Chen, I came back by myself. The second master didn't come back with me."

Grandma Chen paused for a moment, with a look of disappointment in her eyes.

"I haven't come back... Originally I wanted him to figure out some things for me."

I comforted me with a faint smile: "Grandma Chen, what do you want to do? Why don't you tell me."

Grandma Chen pushed up her reading glasses with a look of surprise on her face.

"You little brat like you know how to tell fortunes?"

"Although I don't know as much as Second Master, if it's something common, I can still deduce a few things."

Grandma Chen glanced at Aunt Yanyan, who was busy in the kitchen, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Shouyi! I always have the same dream recently. I dream of Uncle Da Kuan standing at the door of my house holding a lantern, but no matter how I call him, he doesn't answer, and he doesn't come in when I call him.

Every time I wanted to chase him, but as soon as I went out and there was heavy fog everywhere, he disappeared.

I have never told your Aunt Yanyan about this matter, because I was afraid that she would be too worried.

It has been going on for more than half a month, and I am wondering if my time is coming soon, is your uncle Da Kuan here to pick me up?"

Uncle Da Kuan is Aunt Yan Yan's deceased husband, and he has been dead for more than ten years.

I was still young at that time, so I didn't have a deep impression of him. I only remember him as a very honest and honest farmer.

Unfortunately, I contracted tuberculosis in my early years. At that time, my family was poor and the medical conditions were relatively poor.

After more than half a year, he passed away, and he and Aunt Yanyan had no children.

I glanced at Grandma Chen's face, smiled lightly and comforted me: "Grandma Chen, you think too much, your life is still too early.

Besides, Uncle Da Kuan was so filial to you during his lifetime, how could he be willing to take you away?"

Grandma Chen sighed softly and couldn't help but shook her head.

"If this old bone like me is really gone, it might not be a good thing for your Aunt Yanyan!"

"Grandma Chen, you'd better stop thinking nonsense. Aunt Yanyan has always treated you as her own mother, how could she be willing to let you leave.

Since she has chosen to stay all these years, we should respect her decision even more."

Grandma Chen smiled lightly and shook her head.

"You kid asked you to help me figure it out, but you started to enlighten me. I know you have a hairless mouth and a weak job."

I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Grandma Chen, she usually dreams about her deceased relatives for a period of time, which means that Uncle Da Kuan misses you.
