Because there was no transportation, by the time Zhou Haoran reached Xiahe Village, it was already half an hour later.

After entering Xiahe Village, he first went to Yang's house by familiar means, and sent out the big grass carp he caught before going out and the rabbit he brought with him.

After exchanging pleasantries with Mr. Yang, he began to inquire about the situation of the deceased educated youth.

Mr. Yang held a cigarette in his hand, the smile on his face faded, and he said in a deep voice: "Those are the educated youths who came in July this year. This group of eight people were assigned to our village. They were assigned to several other teams. Our team

Up or not.

If you really want to know, we will go find their captain now, but those who come to jump in and go to the countryside at this time are either like you and Xiaotan educated youth, or their families are too difficult, ugh——"

Mr. Yang let out a long sigh. No matter how big Xiahe Village is, you can always see those educated youths walking in and out of the village.

He was about the same age as his grandson, and he had only been in the village for three months before he disappeared.

Zhou Haoran thought for a while and asked: "Do you want to bring something with you? After all, you are asking for help, and you can't ask for etiquette."

Boss Yang waved his hand and said, "The captain of the second team and I have been brothers for decades. We don't need those poor people to ask for ideas. Let's go."

He got up and walked ahead, followed closely by Zhou Haoran. When he walked out of the main room, Mrs. Yang who was busy in the kitchen saw her and came out and asked:

"Where are Zhou Zhiqing going? Dad said he would keep you for dinner!"

Boss Yang spoke before Zhou Haoran spoke, "We'll be back later. You can cook the rice. By the way, the rabbit is fried with dried chili peppers. I'll ask Yuezi to drink some wine later."

Sister-in-law Yang responded, turned around and asked her little daughter who was busy in the kitchen to take the wine bottle and go to the village to sell wine.

Zhou Haoran followed Boss Yang up and down the alleys of Xiahe Village. Ten minutes later, he stood in front of a small blue brick courtyard.

"Yuezi has five sons and three daughters. The eldest son works at home and looks after the old couple. The second, third and fourth sons are all in the army. The younger son goes to school in the county. The three daughters are all married."

Boss Yang briefly introduced the situation, went up the mountain, opened the courtyard door, and walked in. As he walked, he shouted loudly: "Is Yuezi at home? I'm here to have a drink with you!"

A woman heard the sound and came out to check. When she saw Boss Yang, she quickly gestured with her hands in front of her for a while. Boss Yang waved:

"Sister-in-law, don't make this gesture to me, I don't understand."

The woman glared at him and turned around and entered the main room.

Boss Yang walked behind and whispered to Zhou Haoran:

"That's a married woman. You can call me sister-in-law. Before liberation, she was the little wife of a landlord. She was poisoned by the elder wife and became mute. She can't hear but can't speak."

Zhou Haoran nodded to indicate that he understood.

The two entered the main room, and a tall, middle-aged man came out with eyes wide open. When he saw Mr. Yang, he laughed and cursed:

"Okay, okay, okay, Yang, Yang, bold, old, I just fell asleep - fell asleep, you, you, you, you are here!"

"No more, no more!" Boss Yang pulled Zhou Haoran forward and said:

"This is my little brother from Shanjiao Village. His name is Zhou Haoran. He is an educated youth. He begged the young widow from Shanjiao Village. Now he has settled in our brigade. I will bring him to recognize him."

"Heh, heh!" Yuezi laughed and said, "I, I said, why are you, screaming, asking me to drink? It turns out, it turns out that you have something to ask for - me!"

"Stop talking about this, just say whether you want to drink or not!" Boss Yang slapped him dissatisfied.

"drink!"

Yuezi turned to his mother-in-law and said:

"I, I, I went to Yang DaDa's house for a drink, and I don't know when I will come back. If you are scared, let your granddaughter sleep with you first."

"I've got you!" Yang boldly grabbed him, "It's only a few steps away, but you're still scared! You want to drink till dark, but my little brother still has to go home!"

It took ten minutes to get here, but it took almost half an hour to get back to Yang's house.

It was the first time that Zhou Haoran met such a popular person. No matter who he met along the way, Yuezi would always stop and chat with them.

It just so happened that he was a stammer, stumbling over his words, and it took twice as long as it would have taken a normal person to speak.

Even so, they still had the patience to chat with him, and they had a great time chatting with him.

Boss Yang said from the side: "Don't look at Yuezi's bad words. In the past three or so years, he killed many little Japs in the North!

Later, the Japanese were beaten away and they beat old Chiang Kai-shek. He came back without a hand and became a wealthy man who divided the land among the rich. Everyone in the village admired him!"

Zhou Haoran's eyes narrowed when he heard this. When he saw that Yuezi's left hand had no palm and was just a sphere, he couldn't help but stand in awe.

The three of them walked and stopped all the way. When they returned to Yang's house, the wine was already on the table.

Since we were talking about business, no one else sat at the table, and two other tables were opened and we sat there.

Zhou Haoran picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for Yuezi first, then for Mr. Yang, and finally for his own wine glass.

After drinking for three rounds, Mr. Yang glanced at Zhou Haoran and started talking:

"Yuko, how is the educated youth in your team who came in July this year, the one who was drugged to death?"

"What else can I do?" Yuuko let out a long sigh, "The body is still in the county. They said, said, they said they can't collect the body until the case is closed. I - ugh! I still don't know what to do with it.

People say..."

Boss Yang's question opened up Yuezi's conversation. No one at the table spoke, only him.
Chapter completed!
