The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Zheng Xiaoquan and his wife didn't know yet that their children had all gone to their grandfather's house.

Zheng Xiaoquan was eager to coax his wife back home, as the autumn harvest was approaching and the family really needed someone to stay home.

But my wife just wouldn't give in.

The mother-in-law disagreed. "If you ask me, you should go and persuade your father. He is so old, why are you still looking for someone? He is not young and strong anymore."

What a joke.

The important thing to do is to help your son for a few more years while you are still in good health and help your grandson grow up.

Seeing that my two older grandsons will need money to marry and build houses in the future.

He has no need to remarry, but remarrying doesn't cost money? Even if he doesn't want anything, he still has to make bedding and buy clothes? In the future, he will have to pay for food and clothing, so that doesn't cost money?

If I save this money, it will be enough to marry a grandson's wife.

Xiaoquan, I'm not interfering in your family affairs, think about it, isn't this the truth?"

The old lady talked a lot, and Zheng Xiaoquan couldn't say a word.

What doesn't he understand?

If he only thinks about himself, his wife and mother-in-law are right.

After sitting for a while, he went home.

Xiaoquan's wife was actually also concerned about her family. She wondered if the chickens and ducks were missing or if the eggs were missing. Was the pig hungry and skinny? How were the children?

I also feel uneasy.

She felt relieved to see Xiaoquan go back.

When her mother saw her like that, she said, "You have to hold on. If you go back now, all your efforts will be wasted.

What's wrong with throwing a few eggs? Your father-in-law earns a lot of money every year.

The child won't go hungry with her aunt around, and the food might even be better than what she eats at home!"

Zheng Xiaoquan’s wife thought, let’s wait two more days.

When Zheng Xiaoquan returned home, he thought the children had gone out to play and didn't take it seriously.

My wife didn't come home, so I had to do all the housework by myself, such as stewing pigs, cleaning the pigsty, and chopping wood...

Qi Feifei took a quick look at the sword manual.

You have to think carefully before practicing.

She was still worried about the lynx mother's injury and the battle situation in the woods outside, and she couldn't calm down.

I went to the grass to see the mother lynx. She was asleep and her wounds had stopped bleeding.

The four little lynxes lay beside and guarded their mother.

Seeing Qi Feifei coming, they all stood up and surrounded Qi Feifei.

Qi Feifei rubbed their heads and said, "It's okay, it will be fine."

Qi Feifei went and got some wolf's internal organs to feed them.

Several little lynxes dragged the food towards their mother's mouth, wanting to give it to her.

Perhaps the lynx mother was too tired or had lost too much blood, so she remained in deep sleep and did not wake up.

Qi Feifei stayed there with them for a while and saw that the lynx mother didn't wake up.

"You guys can eat it. When mom wakes up, you can get more for her."

The little lynxes then shared the food.

Qi Feifei took a hatchet and prepared to go out to see what was going on in the mountains.

"Doubao" also wanted to follow.

Qi Feifei didn't agree.

"You are still too young to be a match for the wolf. I will climb a tree when I go out to see the situation. If there is any danger, I will come back."

Doubao's eyes were full of worry.

When Qi Feifei came out, the woods were already quiet.

She climbed up the tallest tree in the area.

Look into the distance.

The mountains and forests are dense, and all the brutal fights are hidden underneath.

Qi Feifei remembered that Big Bear was building a stack of wood on the opposite hillside. When he looked over there, he didn't see Big Bear.

Qi Feifei had no way of judging the wolves' final movements.

He walked back cautiously with the hatchet in hand.

Don't go up the mountain anymore recently.

When Qi Feifei returned to the village, it was still early, so he set up a fishing basket nearby.

Sitting on the grass and reading Chinese textbook.

Wait until it’s getting dark before returning to the collective household.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw everyone was in a mess.

"Pan Xiaowen, what's going on?"

Just as Pan Xiaowen was about to run over, he heard Qi Feifei calling him.

"Sister, you're back. Zheng Xiaoquan's three children are missing. We are discussing how to find them!"

Qi Feifei, "Why is the child missing?"

Pan Xiaowen: "There has been a conflict in their family these days, and no one is taking care of the child. I don't know when he disappeared. Anyway, I have searched the whole village, but I still can't find him."

Qi Feifei, "Where's the captain?"

Pan Xiaowen, "The captain should be under the big willow tree, right? I was just thinking about going over to see what the captain has arranged."

The two of them walked under the big willow tree. Qi Feifei quietly released Doubao and prepared to help find the child later.

The team leader was about to send someone to check on the child’s grandmother and the pig farm.

Qi Feifei said, "I'll go to the pig farm. I just happened to have something to do there."

She said she would take care of Uncle Zheng's fish, and she happened to catch some today and would send it to him.

The captain was a little hesitant, wondering who should he let go?

Pan Xiaowen said he would go with his sister.

The captain said, "Okay, go there for a few days and ask one or two people to go with you. It's getting dark, so be careful."

Qi Feifei and Pan Xiaowen took Doubao with them. On the way, they met Wang Bin and Xu Zhiqiang who also came to inquire about the situation, so the four of them went together.

Zheng Xiaoquan also went to his mother-in-law's house with a young man.

The team leader asked everyone to form groups and go out to search along the nearby paths, calling the child's name as they searched.

Qi Feifei and the others were walking very fast in a hurry. They didn't have time to chat and just kept moving forward. Doubao was running in front.

Everyone was walking breathlessly when they met Old Man Zheng who was bringing Widow Gong back.

Qi Feifei asked hurriedly, "Uncle Zheng, did Xiuli and her two siblings go to your place?"

Uncle Zheng, "Yes, they are at the pig farm, Lao Qin is watching them. What are you doing?"

Pan Xiaowen, "That's good, that's good, everyone in the village is looking for the child. Let's go back and let them know."

Qi Feifei, "Uncle Zheng, what do you think?" There's also an old lady here! She doesn't understand the situation either.

Uncle Zheng actually wanted to give it, but it would definitely not be appropriate now.

"This is Comrade Xu Yanli. She lives in the same village as us. You should go with her."

He turned to Widow Gong and said, "Yanli, you've worked hard today. You can go back with them. Qi Feifei is fine, and she'll have someone to accompany you on the road. I won't see you off."

Widow Gong also said, "Go back, it's quite late, be careful."

Qi Feifei looked at the situation between the two people, then turned to look at Pan Xiaowen. There must be some gossip in the village, right?

Pan Xiaowen nodded.

Uncle Zheng walked towards the pig farm, while Qi Feifei and the others walked back with Widow Gong.

After walking for a while, Qi Feifei chased after Uncle Zheng again.

"You go ahead, I'll catch up with you later."

She ran to Uncle Zheng and handed him the small basket.

"Uncle, this is the fish for you. When are we going to kill the pig?"

Uncle Zheng laughed.

"Child, it's almost time. We'll take the fat pig away in the next two days, and we'll slaughter the pig in three or four days. I'll leave you some streaky pork by then."

Qi Feifei, "Uncle, I want the bones. If no one wants them, leave them to me."

Uncle Zheng, "What do you want that for? The meat has been chopped clean. I'll leave you a piece of good meat. It's a rare chance for you to eat meat."

Qi Feifei, "For the meat you share, I didn't cut much pig food, just leave the bones for me. For the meat you sell, please buy me a good piece. Buy as much as you can."

Uncle Zheng, "Okay, I'll see what happens. Remember to come and get it when the time comes."

Qi Feifei, "Okay, thank you, sir."

Qi Feifei turned around and ran back.

Uncle Zheng was holding the fish basket, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
