Mrs. Sun was a little timid and shook her head slightly, "Not yet, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I'll be back soon!"
Old Yang's gray brows knitted together and he patted the armrest of the wheelchair beside him irritably.
"It's already this hour and I still haven't come back, so I don't know what I'm doing!" he said.
Mrs. Sun was so frightened by Lao Yangtou's actions that she shrank her shoulders. Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing pulled Mrs. Sun back to sit down and said to Lao Yangtou: "Master, please be patient. They will definitely deal with it once the matter is over." Come back, since you haven’t come back, you, Ah Jiu, must be delayed by something else.”
Old Yangtou said even more irritably: "Can I calm down? If you haven't come back at this hour, it means that they wasted time moving the grave and burying it. It's not good if it was wasted!"
Yang Ruoqing frowned and looked at the yard outside the house, feeling a little confused.
The old man's irritability is real, but the old man's concerns are also reasonable.
He left for the mountains before dawn. Whether it was raising the grave or re-burying it, it should be completed before the specific time.
Including the time it took them to go down the mountain, under normal circumstances, they should have gone home by this time.
Since he didn't come home, something must have gone wrong.
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing said to Old Yangtou again: "Wait a little longer. If you don't come back in half an hour, I will send someone into the mountain to see what's going on!"
Old Yang frowned and nodded, but the gloominess on his face remained.
Mr. Tan remained silent and continued drinking tea.
Ms. Liu remained silent and continued eating melon seeds.
Sun and Yang Ruoqing also sat back and continued to look after the two children.
But after what happened to Old Yang just now, although everyone didn't talk about it anymore, they were paying attention to it in their hearts.
After a while, Mrs. Liu couldn't sit still for the first time. She threw the remaining half handful of melon seeds that were sticky with sweat into her mouth, then got up and walked out.
"Fourth brother and sister, where are you going?" asked Sun.
Mrs. Liu said: "I went to the river behind the village on behalf of our father to see why they haven't come back yet. There must be no relatives in the mountains staying to eat!"
The corner of Sun's mouth twitched as the fourth younger sister said this.
"Fourth Aunt can just look around after she goes to the village. If anything happens, just run back and tell us." Yang Ruoqing pulled Sun back to sit down.
Mrs. Liu patted her chest and looked confident: "Don't worry, I'm just asking, you just wait for the news!"
After saying these words, Ms. Liu ran out of the main room like a gust of wind and rushed into the scorching sun outside.
Tan curled his lips: "This man is really not afraid of the heat and can't sit still!"
No one responded to Tan's words, and the room continued to do whatever it seemed they should do.
Mrs. Liu ran away and ran back in less than a bowl of tea.
"Father, mother, third sister-in-law, Qing'er, this is terrible, something big has happened!"
She ran into the main room in panic, her tongue was curling up as she spoke, and she was just as excited as when she encountered gossip. At this moment, Mrs. Liu's face was full of fear and expressionless!
Tuan Yuanyuan happened to be drinking water. When the two children heard Liu's movement, they stopped drinking water.
They all turned their little heads to look at Mr. Liu. This shows that gossiping is not just something that happens to women. It is human nature and is innate.
Just because of acquired reasons, some people indulge their instincts infinitely, while some people can rationally control all this.
"Look at your ghostly appearance. There is a ghost chasing you behind the clear sky and white sun!"
When Mrs. Tan saw Mrs. Liu's appearance, she became inexplicably angry, and immediately scolded Mrs. Liu angrily.
However, Mrs. Liu was not angry at Mrs. Tan's scolding. Instead, she waved her hands vigorously and said in a trembling voice: "Mom, this is scarier than a ghost. Our second brother has turned into a corpse!"
"Zombie transformation?" Mrs. Tan looked stunned. She looked blankly at Old Yangtou aside, "Old man, what is corpse transformation?"
Lao Yangtou's face was darker than the bottom of the pot at the moment. He slapped the armrest of his wheelchair hard: "You stinky fellow from the fourth family, don't talk nonsense!"
Mrs. Liu, however, slapped her thigh excitedly: "If I tell nonsense, just let me fall into the pond and drown as soon as I get out of this door!"
Old Yang narrowed his eyes and stared at Mr. Liu dangerously.
Tan's eyes wandered back and forth between Old Yangtou and Liu, and he blinked, "What's going on? What's going on?"
Yang Ruoqing finished feeding Tuantuan in her arms, wiped the corners of Tuantuan's mouth, and stood up holding him.
"Well, what's going on? Fourth Aunt, please take a breath and tell me from the beginning." Yang Ruoqing said.
Mr. Liu shook his head desperately, "I can't say anything. Your fourth uncle, your fourth uncle and the others are back. Tell them!"
As soon as Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she saw brothers Yang Huazhong and Yang Huaming swarming into the courtyard.
Yang Ruoqing felt something was wrong when she saw their faces.
It even felt like they were missing something and shouldn't have come back like this.
But something was missing, and she couldn't remember it for a moment.
However, at this moment, Lao Yangtou had already spoken out and directly asked Yang Ruoqing's doubts in words.
"Then, third, fourth, and fifth, where are the things you hold in your hands when you go out?"
After being reminded by Old Yangtou, Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.
When my father, fourth uncle and fifth uncle went out to do that thing in the morning, they would definitely bring shovels, hoes, hatchets and other blunt instruments with them.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to dig out such a hard loess stone with your fingers, right?
If you take something out, you must bring it back.
In this era, the technology of metallurgy and iron-making was not very advanced, and only rich peasant families like Yang Huazhong could afford to purchase various iron-related farm tools.
Moreover, even so, the quality of some of Yang Huazhong's farm tools is not very good.
Because most of them are made of pig iron, they tend to curl up after a while. If left outside in the rain, they will also rust and corrode.
In the villages, there are even fewer peasant families who have a complete set of farm tools.
Many families only have a few low-quality farm tools, and some even don't have them yet, so they often borrow them from other people's homes.
For example, Yang Huazhong's family's farm tools are often borrowed by villagers during busy farming periods.
When they were sent back, some of the farm tools were damaged.
But Yang Huazhong and Sun were good people and never cared about that with the villagers.
He would just repair farm tools silently.
And Blacksmith Luo, who is separated by a wall, can just repair it.
Having said so much, Yang Ruoqing just wanted to say that farm tools and ironware are relatively valuable items in this era, and they cannot be easily discarded by farmers.
Why don't dad and the others bring the things back?
Mr. Tan also spoke up: "Third brother, your father is asking you a question. Why didn't those guys who were taken out bring anything back? Is there a mine at home? Are they littering?"
