Chapter 174 Sending Away

   send away

   "Dad, I\'ll go now!"

   "Old man, I\'ll go with you!"

   Before the father and daughter left, they watched Grandpa Li and Ma Li enter the house, closed their doors, and told them that they would not open the door unless the father and daughter came back, and everyone should be alert.

   The father and daughter each held a flashlight and Bamboo in hand, and hurried along the way.

   "Old man, how far is my uncle\'s house?"

   "It\'s a bit far, it\'s fifty miles away from here. When we come back, it\'s probably going to be dawn, so we have to hurry up! Little Yu\'er, keep up!"

  The father and daughter ran all the way, and they drank well water when they were tired. They only hoped to be faster.

When    arrived at his uncle\'s village, the father and daughter were dripping with water. The village was quiet, and there was no dog barking when entering the village, giving people a lifeless feeling.

   Father Li never came to his uncle\'s house with Grandma Li. When he was a child, Da Li came to stay with her for a few days every time.

   When Li\'s father was eight years old, Li Da Da showed off in front of him, saying that his uncle only liked him, not Li\'s father, and how good he was.

   This made Father Li envious of those who had never been to his uncle\'s house, and it also made him firmly remember in his heart that a child who is hurt by his uncle\'s house is the happiest.

   Finally, when Grandma Li took Li Da to his uncle\'s house again, he secretly followed him all the way, dodging him all the way, and didn\'t dare to let anyone know.

  When he was outside his uncle\'s house, he didn\'t dare to go in, because he was afraid that his uncle would not like him.

   He secretly hid outside and listened to the laughter and laughter inside, imagining that the person inside was himself.

   Finally, when they were having dinner, they realized that they had run away so secretly, and the father at home couldn\'t find him, how anxious he should be.

   According to his own memory, when he returned to the Bamboo Forest, it was already the second night, and Grandpa Li was going crazy at home.

   When they found out what was going on, the father and son hugged their heads and wept bitterly. From then on, Grandpa Li took him with him wherever he went.

   takes him to relatives twice a year, and this road is so familiar. Therefore, Father Li is very familiar with this road, and even if he walks at night, he will not go the wrong way.

   The father and daughter called to open the door, and it was Du Yongjun, Du Honshi\'s eldest son who came out.

   "Yongjun, it\'s me, Yanyang."

   "Fourth cousin, what\'s the matter so late? Come and talk about it first."

  When Du Laoshi heard the voice, seeing that it was Father Li, he hurriedly asked, "Yanyang, is there something wrong at home?"

   "Uncle Yao, something happened at home, and I have to let my mother come back to live for a while. You quickly wake up a few cousins ​​and rush back with me overnight to bring people back. I will prepare food for you."

  Du honestly heard that something happened at home, it must be a major event, otherwise he would not have brought people back overnight.

   "Yongjun, hurry up and call everyone up for me, and leave immediately."

  Du Yongjun called up all four brothers, and called up his daughter-in-law. There was a woman who followed, so there was someone to take care of on the way.

   Before leaving, Du honestly gave each person a piece of raw red glutinous rice, which was equivalent to their family\'s rations for a day.

   When the group arrived at the Bamboo Forest, it was already bright. When the villagers saw Father Li taking a few men home, someone asked curiously, "Father Four, where have you been?"

   "These are some of my cousins, they need help with something at home."

   When I heard that it was my cousin who came to help, I was not curious.

   Li\'s mother had already cooked at home, for fear that Li\'s father would come back hungry with someone.

   She didn\'t know how many people would come, so she had to prepare more, and she would definitely be hungry after a night\'s drive.

   When Li Ma saw them entering the yard, she hurriedly said hello: "Come in quickly, wash your face and eat something, are you hungry?"

   "Mom, I\'m so hungry!" Li Xiaoyu was soaked and exhausted.

   "You hurry into the room to wash, and the water is ready for you." Li Ma settled her little daughter and put all the food on the table.

  The four basins are served on the table, porridge, red glutinous rice, wild vegetables, and corn cakes. The few people who had been rushing all the way were already extremely hungry, and they moved their hands together, so there was no need to be ashamed.

   After they all finished eating, Grandpa Li told Du Yongjun that Grandma Li was not in a good condition. She wanted to go back to her parents’ home to recuperate for a while, and the family would often send her food there.

   Du Yongjun\'s brothers saw that they had food, and immediately agreed to take Grandma Li back to her parents\' home.

   Grandpa Li let them rest and leave later. He went back to the house, took out the letter he wrote to his brother-in-law, and sighed deeply. He knew that after sending it back, it would be impossible for the old lady to come back in the future.

  Li Xiaoyu changed her clothes and came out of the room. Li Ma gave her a bowl of porridge that she had kept and told her to eat it quickly.

   At this time, in Banzhulin, except for the Li family and the children, everyone went to work and was quiet.

  Li Xiaoyu gave Grandpa Li a bowl of sugar water with intoxication, and Grandpa Li walked to the kitchen of the eldest son\'s house with firm steps.

   "Old lady, there is no one now, drink up this bowl of sugar water. I\'m not around, you must take care of yourself."

   Grandma Li grabbed the sugar water and poured it into her mouth, but miraculously, not a single drop of the sugar water was spilled.

   Grandpa Li silently counted ten numbers in his heart. Grandma Li fell to the ground as promised. Before falling to the ground, she stared at Grandpa Li with wide eyes.

   Grandpa Li turned around and went out of the kitchen to call a few people waiting outside, asking them to take them away quickly, then took out a letter and asked Du Yongjun to pass it on to his father.

   He went into Grandma Li\'s room by himself, put away her clothes and quilt, and let them take them away together.

   Father Li took out two large bags of grain from his house and asked them to take it back. They will continue to send grain next year.

  The brothers of the Du family saw that the two large bags were made of refined grains. If they were taken back, they could be exchanged for four times the amount of coarse grains. There was something to eat at home.

   A few people have a clear division of labor. Those who carry people carry people, and those who carry grain carry grain. They have to leave quickly while there are few people in the village.

   So far, Grandma Li stayed away from the Li family\'s sight, and was unable to return to the Li family until the end of her life.

   Father Li would send food and money to his uncle\'s house every year, but he never went to see Grandma Li once. If you don\'t like it, why don\'t you see it again!

  Li and his wife, when they came back at noon and saw that no one was cooking at home, they thought that this old lady was moving quite fast.

  The couple didn\'t say a word, they made a meal of white water noodles in the kitchen by themselves, and also put the hidden lard.

   It wasn\'t until the night when there was no movement that the couple reacted. This is not right. If there is no movement, the people are gone.

  Reacted, Aunt Li went into Grandma Li\'s room and saw that she didn\'t see anything from Grandma Li in the room.

  How a big living person disappeared, there must be something wrong!

   The couple ran to Li\'s kitchen and asked Grandpa Li angrily, "Dad, where is my mother?"
