"Chaodong..." Tong Yu raised her red eyes and looked at her eldest nephew. Not only was her concern for her son, but she was also worried about Xiangnan. As soon as she said that, she rushed over and hugged him, saying distressedly, "Silly boy, how...how did you get home?"

In her haste, she didn't care at all about the dirt and mud on her nephew's body. Her eyes were filled with care and love, and she felt heartbroken for her nephew.

The look in his eyes was exactly the same as when he looked at his own son, even more so.

"Auntie, I came back on a motorcycle!" Li Xiangnan was suddenly hugged, but there was no barrier in his heart. He whispered, "I'm dirty!"

"Auntie doesn't dislike you!" Tong Yu retracted her hand, wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and held his hand. "Don't worry about Chaodong for now. Are you hungry? Auntie will heat up some food for you!"

"Uncle!" Li Xiangnan opened his mouth and called out to Li Fuqiang who was passing by the door, but he couldn't continue.

Li Fuqiang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's eat first!"

My eldest nephew came back from Yanjing, a journey of more than 1,100 kilometers, which took him a whole day even without eating or drinking.

Chaodong didn’t come back last night, so I guess the Li family in Yanjing couldn’t sleep!

When I called him this morning, I was afraid he would leave for the south!

It was now past two in the morning. He couldn't believe what his nephew had been through along the way to end up like this!

Chaodong, Chaodong, if you knew that your elder brother was so worried about you and rushed back day and night, how would you feel?

Li Fuqiang was extremely distressed. He walked into the room and saw Li Xiangnan standing by the table, refusing to sit down. He advised, "Nannan, go take a shower. Ask your aunt to heat up the food. We were originally waiting for Chaodong to come back to eat, but now... I'm afraid he won't be back!"

He didn't dare to continue here, and quickly changed the subject and asked, "Did you bring a change of clothes? How about wearing mine?"

"I brought it..." Li Xiangnan slowly lifted up his coat that was covered in mud, but he didn't dare to move too much and make a mess, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"Then I'll go downstairs to get it! You go to the bathroom and wash up, and it's time for dinner when you come out!" Li Fuqiang said, and went downstairs.

Tong Yu put the dishes into the kitchen, stuck his head out and shouted, "Nannan, don't just stand there, go wash them quickly. After washing, have a comfortable hot meal, you will feel better!"

"it is good!"

Li Xiangnan nodded, stepped into the familiar bathroom and closed the door.

He began to take off his mud clothes, but suddenly his eyes turned red.

Next to the mirror, there was a sticky note that read, "Keep going, Chaodong! I'll examine myself three times a day, learn from you, big brother! Let's meet in Yanjing! Yay!"

He looked down and saw that there were still water stains on his brother Li Chaodong's toothbrush and enamel pot from yesterday morning.

His bath slippers were placed next to the shower curtain, and his feet were as big as his own.

Suddenly one day, a person disappeared from your life, but his shadow filled every corner of your life.

This is an unspeakable, complex and inexpressible emotion.

Li Xiangnan felt very upset and quickly turned on the faucet to rinse himself.

He could not forget the four dishes and one soup he saw on the table when he entered the door.

It was past two in the morning, and my uncle and aunt were still waiting quietly at home, waiting for Chaodong to come back for dinner.

He would never forget that when he drove into the county town, the whole mountain town had fallen asleep, but only a lonely bright light was still on in his uncle's house, waiting for his son who came home late to show up soon.

Snapped!

Li Xiangnan punched the wall, gritted his teeth, and growled, "Li Chaodong, you bastard, where the hell are you!?"

Worry and annoyance turned into anger. He quickly washed himself and hurriedly opened the bathroom.

At the door, the spare clothes prepared by Ruobai were taken out by his uncle. After he changed, he walked out of the bathroom and saw his uncle squatting on the balcony, wiping the mud on the luggage bag with a towel. The white towel had turned into charcoal.

"Nannan, eat quickly while it's hot!" Tong Yu brought out the last plate of braised lion's head and asked him to sit down.

"Auntie, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Li Xiangnan asked before sitting down. Seeing her expression, he understood and shouted, "Uncle, let's eat together. I'll clean it myself later!"

"Okay!" Li Fuqiang wiped it quickly and when he felt it was clean, he came over to wash his hands and sat down with Tong Yu.

"Chaodong left home yesterday and said goodbye to your aunt. He didn't go to the county high school to take the exam! He's been missing since yesterday morning! I asked Director Tian to investigate this matter. The county is taking it very seriously and has sent Director Wu from the County Public Security Bureau to supervise the investigation! Don't worry about it!"

Without waiting for Li Xiangnan to ask, Li Fuqiang immediately told him about the progress of the past two days.

After all, because he has been in the officialdom for a long time, my uncle is much calmer than my aunt.

Li Xiangnan was about to ask when Li Fuqiang said, "Your uncle and I went to visit relatives and friends this afternoon. He went to a classmate's house in Chaodong. We looked everywhere but couldn't find him!"

Li Xiangnan frowned slightly.

He originally thought that Chaodong might have gone to a classmate's house, but now it seems... not?

"Have you asked everyone close to you?" Li Xiangnan was eating. Seeing that his uncle and aunt hadn't touched their chopsticks, he urged them, "You should eat too. Things are things, but you still have to be healthy!"

Only then did Li Fuqiang and Tong Yu pick up their chopsticks and start eating.

"I've basically asked everything!" Tong Yu said with a sob.

"Auntie, you said yesterday that a classmate went to take the exam with Chaodong? Who was it?"

Tong Yu shook her head. "I'm not very familiar with that classmate. He doesn't seem to be from the county town... I only heard Chaodong say his last name is Zhang..."

"Maybe she went somewhere to play with him?"

"We are all here to take the college entrance examination, why would we go out to play at this critical moment?" Tong Yu couldn't understand.

Li Fuqiang frowned and said, "After the college entrance examination was resumed in 77, the system has been re-established in the past few years. Those who have never taken the college entrance examination before, as well as those who have been waiting for two or three years, have all started taking the exam! The number of people taking the college entrance examination this year is still very large, with a complex composition and a large number of people. In our county alone, there are more than candidates, which was unimaginable before! There are also many educated youth from other places waiting to return to the city taking the exam!"

Li Xiangnan chewed the food and also chewed these words.

Uncle's meaning was very clear. This year's college entrance examination had a complicated personnel situation. It was very likely that Chaodong had met someone or encountered something, so he disappeared...

But is this really the case?

"Where are Yuanbei and Dingxi?"

Li Xiangnan suddenly asked.

Li Fuqiang and the other man were stunned, and said, "In Lijia Village!"

Li Xiangnan asked again: "Have you been in Lijia Village all this time?"

Tong Yu shook his head: "I just went back today!"

Oh?

"Well, uncle, tomorrow is the last day of the college entrance exam. Please bother Director Tian Jinnong again and ask him to quickly check who else hasn't taken the exam! Make sure to find the exact name!"

After hearing this, Li Fuqiang slapped his head and said, "Oh, I hadn't thought of this direction! I was really confused for a moment! I will do this tomorrow!"

Tong Yu suddenly realized and immediately grasped hope, "You mean if there is someone like Chaodong who didn't take the college entrance examination, then it is very likely that he is related to Chaodong?"

"Let's think about it this way first! It's always right to have a direction!" Li Xiangnan nodded.

The couple looked at each other and secretly admired their nephew.

"I'll go ask Yuanbei and Dingxi and look for any clues!"

Li Xiangnan narrowed his eyes, feeling that there was something strange about Yuanbei and Dingxi suddenly returning to Lijia Village.

Everyone is looking for Chaodong, but the two of them are doing the opposite?

This is wrong!
