Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

After finally coming back, uncle and aunt asked about the health of grandpa and parents during this period. Then they quickly asked Li Xiangnan to call Ruobai who was waiting in Yanjing, and hurriedly let him go to bed.

That night, the tired Li Xiangnan wanted to sleep, but he kept tossing and turning, and the thoughts in his mind could not stop.

Sometimes it was the face of his grandfather who was traveling far away, sometimes it was his grandmother's back in several photos, and sometimes it was the test paper spread out on the desk by Li Chaodong.

When he woke up from his sleep in a daze, it was already bright outside the window, but when he looked at his watch, it was only seven o'clock.

Li Xiangnan breathed a long sigh of relief. He turned over and saw the scene in the room where Li Chaodong had slept last night. A trace of sadness came over him again.

Once upon a time, he won the top spot in the imperial examination and returned home from Yanjing with great style.

At that time, he knew that he had planted a seed of going to Yanjing in the little Chaodong's heart.

Now the seeds are about to sprout, but suddenly there is no sign of it. How can he not be sad!

Desks, books, pens, schedules, notebooks, and school bags are all filled with the traces and mentality of young people.

Every time Li Xiangnan looked at him, he became more worried about his brother.

He quickly put on his shoes and socks, opened the door and went into the bathroom to wash up. He heard some noise in the restaurant. After he was done, he went out to see that his third uncle Li Fuqin was sitting at the octagonal table, drinking from a large bowl.

Hearing the noise, Li Fuqin turned around.

The two looked at each other, the feeling was indescribable.

After not seeing him for half a year, there were a few more wrinkles on Uncle San's face, but his eyes were as bright as ever.

"Third Uncle!" Li Xiangnan's heart moved slightly, and he called out softly, his voice hoarse from staying up all night, "When did you come?"

Li Fuqin put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Li Xiangnan carefully. "I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I rode here from the farm at around five o'clock. I just arrived!"

Li Xiangnan nodded, turned around and looked around, but didn't see anyone. He asked, "Hey, where are my uncle and aunt?"

"I'm washing your car and clothes!" Li Fuqin pointed downstairs.

Li Xiangnan walked to the balcony and looked down.

Uncle Li Fuqiang got a water pipe from somewhere and was washing his motorcycle while wiping it carefully with a rag.

Aunt Tong Yu was scrubbing her dirty muddy clothes by the pool nearby.

There were concerned neighbors around who were chatting with them, and one could see that the worry was still there in their brows.

"Let's eat first!" Uncle San's voice came from behind.

When Li Xiangnan returned to the table, his third uncle had already brought a bowl of porridge from the kitchen and pushed it over to him. He also brought all the plates of fried dough sticks and buns in front of him.

"I heard from your uncle that you left around six o'clock and rode a motorcycle all the way back from Yanjing?"

"Hmm!" Li Xiangnan took a bite of the fried dough stick and pursed his lips vaguely.

No matter where you go or where you are, once you eat this kind of porridge buns, you will feel the feeling of home churning in your heart.

"Even braver than your father who rode alone for thousands of miles to save people! Good boy!" Li Fuqin grinned, then went back to the kitchen and brought out steaming hot corn. "I brought this from home. Eat a whole cornbread!"

Just as he was about to say that what was on the table was enough, Li Xiangnan was stopped by his uncle's eyes, "Look how thin you have become recently! Eat more!"

Li Xiangnan, who was holding the bowl, felt his eyes sore from the heat.

Uncle San began to ramble on: "How's Dad's leg? How's his health lately? Are Second Brother and Sister-in-law all right? Are you used to living in Yanjing? I heard from Sister-in-law that Ruobai is pregnant. How many months is it now? Is she pregnant?"

While eating, Li Xiangnan briefly told him about his family in Yanjing. Chaodong had not been found yet, so he could only give a general idea, but his uncle was still relieved.

Remembering what was wrong with Yuanbei and Dingxi's sisters yesterday, Li Xiangnan asked, "By the way, Third Uncle, Chaodong is nowhere to be found. Why did Yuanbei and Dingxi suddenly go back?"

"These two kids came to the farm with me during the holidays so I can take care of them! I asked for a few days off from the farm because of Chaodong's situation. I was worried about them being left alone on the farm. A tractor happened to be going to the Lijia Village Brigade to deliver fertilizer, so I asked a colleague to help take them back..."

Li Fuqin knew what his nephew was worried about and waved his hand. "They've been on the farm these days... They probably have nothing to do with Chaodong's situation..."

At this point, he became uncertain again and frowned, saying, "It should be okay, right? Anyway, I told them to go back to the village and see if Chaodong has returned. If she has, they must call her aunt!"

"call!"

Hearing this, Li Xiangnan finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his mouth and said, "I thought those two guys knew where Chaodong was and went back to the village to cover him!"

As a father, Li Fuqin was also quite cautious about Chaodong's matter. He nodded and said:

"That suspicion is correct! What if Chaodong went to the farm and came into contact with them... I've been wondering about that, too. But the two girls seemed pretty normal, and they even said they'd tell me if they saw Chaodong. So, I heard from your uncle that you're going back to the village, so it's a good time to ask them carefully. You're the eldest brother, and they won't lie to you!"

"Okay!" Li Xiangnan had just nodded when his uncle Li Fuqiang went upstairs.

Li Fuqin stood up and handed the kettle over. "Drive slowly. Mountain roads are different from flat roads. You must pay attention to safety! If you see them, talk to them nicely and don't scare the two children!"

He stuffed a few boiled eggs from the bamboo basket and said, "Take them with you on the road! Be sure to go slowly!"

Li Fuqiang also warned: "There were several heavy rains in the mountains last month, and some sections of the road were flooded and difficult to travel! Don't ride so fast! Remember this!"

"Uncle and Third Uncle, I understand!"

"I found out some information today and will call the brigade! You wait for my news at the brigade tonight!" said Li Fuqiang.

"it is good!"

Li Xiangnan went downstairs with his bag. The Jialing motorcycle had been washed clean by his uncle.

He got into the car, drove out of the yard and headed towards the street amid the astonished and envious gazes of his neighbors.

It was not even eight o'clock yet, and a street away, people were squatting everywhere, all waiting to enter the school to take the exam.

Looking up, I saw the big words "Hongshan County College Entrance Examination Demonstration Site" fluttering in the wind, just like that summer two years ago.

It was here that he and Lin Chuqiao reached a fork in their lives and began a turbulent life.

Jingle Bell!

The entrance bell to the examination hall rang and the crowd suddenly became noisy.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the crowd at the school gate dispersed and everyone entered the school.

Li Xiangnan didn't find Li Chaodong in the crowd, but saw the old lady running around anxiously at the door. His eyes were slightly red as he pushed the cart over.

"Auntie, please go back! Chaodong probably didn't come today!"

"Xiangnan!" Tong Yu shouted and could not say anything else.

"Auntie, go back! I'll go to Lijia Village and look for her. I'll call home if I have any news!"

Looking at the aunt's distraught back as she left, Li Xiangnan felt his heart aching.

He turned the car around and drove towards Lijia Village.

The dirt road became increasingly bumpy, and the motorcycle jumped between potholes.

At noon, he walked into the village.

The huge engine sound was particularly noticeable in the small mountain village, and soon he was surrounded by the elderly and children at the village entrance.

While dealing with the chattering greetings of the villagers, he saw his two sisters, Li Yuanbei and Li Dingxi, carrying baskets and walking towards the Li family ancestral hall.

"Aid the North, Dingxi!"

Li Xiangnan pulled out the car keys and ran over, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of the two sisters.

"Brother? Why...why are you back?"

Suddenly seeing Li Xiangnan, the two sisters' expressions changed instantly, and they looked obviously panicked...
