After eating and drinking, Lao Yangtou's behavior at the dinner table this time was surprising. He praised Brother Yang Huazhong throughout the whole process and praised his children and grandchildren for being so filial and promising.

"Third brother, our father went too far with his praise. I got goosebumps all over my body when I heard it."

Yang Huazhou told Yang Huazhong privately.

Yang Huazhong smiled bitterly, "It's better to praise than to scold, so let him do whatever he wants."

"Mother didn't come." Yang Huazhou said again.

Yang Huazhong nodded: "Zhi Xiaozi said that he had gone to deliver a message earlier. If he hadn't run so fast, he would probably have been beaten."

"Except for Qing'er, no one in our family can frustrate my mother's temperament." Yang Huazhou said, "Forget it, let her do whatever she wants. This month she will eat and drink with the fourth brother. Later, the fourth brother will deliver the food."

…

After having had enough food and wine, the guests dispersed. When the last guest was sent away, the sun was about to set.

Yang Huazhong obediently greeted his brothers and nephews at home and asked them to come over for dinner at night.

"Third brother, I didn't go out at night. I ate so much at noon." Yang Huaming and others said.

Yang Huazhong said: "There are always leftovers at night. It's convenient to heat them up. Why don't you come? Come all over!"

Yang Huaming smiled and said, "Okay!"

As for Lao Yangtou, he was sitting there after lunch, pulling Lao Suntou to do some household chores. He didn't show any signs of leaving. He happened to hear Yang Huazhong's invitation to Yang Huaming and the others, and now he sat more at ease.

At this moment, the three girls came over.

"Dad, I just went to deliver food to Nai, but she is not in the house. I searched all over the house and backyard and couldn't find her."

"How is that possible? Where else could your baby be if it wasn't in the front room or the backyard? With her temper, there aren't many old ladies in the village who can be friends with her!" Yang Huaming said with a smile.

The third girl shook her head, "Really, she wasn't in the house when I delivered the food before, so I started looking for her. I searched around but couldn't find her. I asked Grandma Jiang next door and they all said she couldn't be seen.

My milk."

Yang Huaming frowned and said, "Don't worry, I'll look for it too."

The father and daughter left together.

Over there, Old Yangtou's eyes flickered slightly, he hesitated to speak, and finally turned his head and continued to chat with Old Suntou.

And brothers Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou didn't take it seriously. The old lady had been like this many times in the past. Maybe she was wasting time with the third girl. If Yang Huaming went to find her, then everything would be fine.

But after a while, Yang Huaming came back in a hurry.

"Third brother, fifth brother, what's going on? I've searched all over the place but can't find our mother, and the food I sent hasn't been moved. Where could it be?"

Hearing this, Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou also attracted attention.

The two brothers all turned their attention to Lao Yangtou, "Dad, where is our mother?"

"Your mother is not in the house?" Old Yangtou also looked shocked.

"Nowhere, dad, how long ago did you see mom?" Yang Huaming asked.

Old Yangtou thought about it for a moment and said truthfully: "It's been almost four hours..."

"Four hours?" Yang Huaming's brows suddenly tightened: "Where have you been!"

Yang Huazhong raised his hand and patted Yang Huaming's shoulder: "Don't worry, let's go look for it and we'll talk about it later for dinner."

Yang Huazhong called all his nephews, including Yang Yongjin, Yang Yongzhi, Yang Yongqing, and Yang Yongbai Dabao, together. With more people and greater strength, it turned out that one person was missing.

"Where's Yongxian?"

"Replying to Third Uncle, my eldest brother drank too much at noon. When we went to the yard next door to clear the table, we found him under the table. He is dozing off in Third Uncle's hall right now."

Everyone has different expressions.

Yang Yongxian was busy paving the way for himself even before he got any merit in the examination.

"Yongxian is going to take the provincial examination in a few days. How can you let him drink so much? What if he drinks so much that it delays the examination? What a nonsense!"

Old Yangtou, who had been calm and unhurried before, suddenly shouted, and his whole face changed.

Yang Yongqing grinned: "Master, you are relying on the wrong person. We did not encourage the eldest brother to go to the next door yard to accompany us for drinks. We originally arranged for him to stay at home and eat at the relatives' table, but he heard that the next door yard

The people sitting here are all officials from the town and county. They took the initiative to ask for a job and couldn't stop them. What do you want us to do?"

Old Yangtou's face became even more ugly: "You guys go find your milk quickly, I'll go check on Yongxian..."

After saying these words, Lao Yangtou pushed his wheelchair and hurried into the main room.

"My father truly loves my eldest brother!" Yang Yongqing looked at the back of Old Yangtou with emotion.

Everyone else felt the same, but everyone was used to it and became numb, "Don't talk about that now, let's go find someone quickly, it's going to get dark right now."

Everyone quickly split up.

I searched in front of and behind the village, but there was no one there.

I went to every house in the village to inquire, but to no avail.

"Where did the old lady who couldn't see a single eye go? Could it be that she wandered blindly into the mountains?"

"When you go to the mountains and cross a bridge, you won't fall into the river, right?"

It was already dark, and he still hadn't been found. The more he guessed, the more frightened he became. With no choice, Yang Huazhong had no choice but to use Li Zheng's identity to mobilize the villagers to help find him.

Soon, fifty or sixty men gathered. They were divided into about ten people, holding torches, and scattered in several directions to search. Yang Huaming led the men to search along the river, while Yang Huazhong and the others brought hatchets.

Entering the mountain...

Mrs. Sun came over to find Baby Luo and wanted to see if Teddy could help find him.

"Granny, Teddy has been playing somewhere these days and hasn't come back yet. I'm looking for him too!"

Luo Baobao and Sun.

Teddy is a male dog. Every year in March and August, he always disappears for several days.

Baby Luo was very worried at first, but after a few days, he saw that the dog came back safely, and he felt relieved. Gradually, he figured out a pattern. When the dog grew up, he also wanted to find a wife.

"Hey, Teddy is not at home either, so it will be even harder to find someone now." Sun had no choice but to leave worriedly.

Baby Luo doesn't have any good impressions of Mrs. Tan, and Mrs. Tan doesn't like to see Baby Luo. Baby Luo is eleven years old this year and has said no more than ten sentences to Mrs. Tan in total.

Luo Baobao didn't have much feeling about whether Tan could be found, just like other old ladies who didn't care much.

But she overheard the conversation between Tuoba Xian and Wang Cuilian, which made her unable to help but become concerned about Tan's disappearance.

Wang Cuilian said: "This old lady has been missing for so long, can there be any accidents? If so, things will be serious. Everyone in the old Yang family is a filial son, so why not cry to death!"

There was a rare sadness on Tuoba Xian's face: "Crying to death is the next best thing. According to the laws of Daqi, once the old lady dies, all the children and grandchildren in the family who are officials outside must resign and return to their hometown. Dingyou, Da'an, and Xiao'an must all come back.

.”

"It has been ten years in Da'an. Now is the time when young and promising people are prospering in officialdom. Xiao'an is not anxious about Da'an, but he is also a general in the military department of Qing'an County. If they resign and return to their hometown for three years because of Ding You, this will mean to them,

The impact is huge!”

When Luo Baobao heard this, he suddenly felt that this was not possible. Mr. Tan could not die now, otherwise his two uncles would be implicated.
