Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

The next day, when Yao Qingnian finally got up with his aching body at noon, Lu Huaijin was no longer by his side.

With a blushing face, she opened the door and came out of the house, and saw Liu Shuyue busy in the yard. "Qingnian, you're awake. Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Liu Shuyue was in the yard. When she saw her come out, she walked up to her and asked with a smile.

"I can't sleep." Yao Qingnian walked into the yard to check on her Qingmei, her eyes occasionally looking towards other places in the yard.

"Qingnian, where are you looking for Huaijin? He saw you sleeping, so he told me to tell you that he went to the city to pick up Yinuo. Yinuo will take two days off tomorrow. I made chicken soup for you. It's in the pot, and it's still hot! Drink it while it's hot."

"Mom, I didn't look for him." Yao Qingnian said calmly, thinking, isn't it just sleeping with a man? What's there to be embarrassed about?

"No, I was just overthinking it. I'll go get you some chicken soup."

"Thank you, mother." Yao Qingnian thanked her and checked the picked green plums in the yard. After being left to dry overnight, the water had been drained out of the green plums. She took all the green plums down and poked small holes in them one by one with bamboo sticks.

"Come, eat something first, and we'll prepare it later. Huai Jin specially killed the chicken early in the morning!" Liu Shuyue brought her the chicken soup and breakfast.

This man is quite considerate. Yao Qingnian looked at the cooked chicken soup and felt touched: "Mom, you drink it too."

"There's still some in the pot! Drink it!" Liu Shuyue asked her to drink it while it was hot.

After Yao Qingnian finished eating, she began to process the plums. After piercing holes in all the green plums, she found a jar and some sugar and salt. She planned to make two flavors, one crispy plum and one salty plum.

The method of making crispy plums is to pickle a large jar of them with a layer of green plums and a layer of sugar. Then she used the same method to make salted plums with salt, and used the rest to soak green plum wine. It took her a whole day to make it. When she finished, it was already dark. She stood up and looked out the door. She asked Liu Shuyue who was busy making dinner in the kitchen, "Mom, didn't you say that my husband went to pick up Yinuo? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"Yeah, it's already this late, why haven't they come back yet? Could something have happened?" Liu Shuyue then remembered that her son and Yinuo had not come back yet, so she put down the work in her hands and ran out.

"Old woman, bah, bah, bah, what could happen? I guess he's just busy with something and will be delayed for a while. He'll have to stay in the county and may not come back until tomorrow." Lu Mingchuan interrupted her.

"Mom, what Dad said makes sense. Maybe something delayed him. Huaijin has some skills, so nothing will happen to him." Yao Qingnian comforted her.

"My right eyelid kept twitching, and I felt a little uneasy, so I said a few more words." Liu Shuyue said.

"You are just tired. Finish your meal and rest early." Lu Mingchuan echoed.

Seeing that she couldn't win the argument with the two of them, Liu Shuyue nodded and didn't say anything else. After the meal, Lu Mingchuan rushed to clean up the dishes. She went back to her room to rest, but she still felt a little uneasy.

The next day, Yao Qingnian saw that Yinuo and the others had not returned, so he planned to go to the city to take a look. As soon as he walked out the door, he saw that Lu Huaijin and the others had already returned.

"Mom, where are you going?" Yinuo jumped off the carriage and threw himself into Yao Qingnian's arms.

"You didn't come back last night, I was worried something happened, so I prepared to go look for you!"

"I was delayed by something yesterday and stayed in the city all night before coming back. I'm sorry to have made you worry." Lu Huaijin explained.

"It's okay, I'm glad you're back! Then I'll go to Goudan's house and check on Wang Zhuzi."

"I'm going too. I just want to play with Goudan."

"Okay, go home and tell grandma first." Yao Qingnian nodded, turned around and went back to the house with them. Liu Shuyue felt relieved when she saw Yinuo and the others coming back.

Yao Qingnian took Yinuo to Goudan's home to see Goudan's father.

"Qingnian, Yinuo, you are here, please come in!" Yang Xiujuan invited them into the house. Wang Zhuzi was helping chop firewood in the yard.

"Aunt Xiujuan, is Goudan at home?" Yinuo came in and looked for her little friend.

"Yes! Goudan, look who's here!" Yang Xiujuan shouted inside.

"Yino! You're back!" The two friends were extremely happy to meet each other and made plans to go out and play. Yao Qingnian went to see Wang Zhuzi and planned to arrange a time for his surgery.

At this moment, Goudan came back panting, "Oh no, oh no, Aunt Qingnian, Yinuo is missing, is he back?"

"Goudan, what's going on? Didn't Yinuo go out to play with you?" Yao Qingnian heard his shout and ran out.

"We were playing in the water with a few friends by the river, and Yinuo suddenly disappeared." Goudan said anxiously.

"Don't worry, will he go home? I'll go home to check." Yao Qingnian comforted him.

"I went to see, and Uncle Huaijin said Yinuo didn't come back, so I ran back home to check." Goudan was about to cry.

"Where did you guys play? Yinuo hasn't been seen for a long time."

"It's the river beside the fields at the entrance of the village! It's been about half an hour! He said he wanted to pee and would be back soon. I saw him go to the ridge of the field by the river and then continue to play with his friends. But I waited for him for a long time and he didn't come back. I went up to look for him, but I didn't see him. But look, auntie, his shoes are still there!" Goudan showed Yinuo's shoes to Yao Qingnian.

"How are you going over there? Didn't mom tell you that the water is deep over there and you can't go there without an adult?" Yang Xiujuan was so angry that she grabbed Goudan and was about to beat him.

"Mom, the weather was hot, and we didn't think too much about it. When we saw the fish in the river, we couldn't help but go down. We only played in the shallow area near the shore. We all watched, and we don't know how Yinuo disappeared." Goudan also knew that he was wrong, and he felt more guilty than anyone else now.

"Okay, sister-in-law, don't talk about Goudan anymore. The most important thing for us now is to find Yinuo."

"Could he have fallen into the river? I'll ask someone to look for him by the river." Yang Xiujuan hurried out to ask for help.

"Goudan, help me look for him in the village. I'll go look by the river too." Yinuo is such a grown-up, he wouldn't disappear out of thin air. His shoes are still there, so he definitely didn't leave on his own, but something happened to him. Yao Qingnian was worried that Yinuo had fallen into the river or been kidnapped by the beggar. It had been an hour, and she was panicked and ran out to look for him immediately.

Lu Huaijin also ran over. When he heard that Yinuo was missing, he immediately asked people to search the village for him.

"Qing Nian, what's going on?"

"I just came here too. I was worried that he might have fallen into the river, so I came to check on him first."

Liu Shuyue also looked around in a hurry: "I was saying that I was panicking, and I always felt that something was going to happen. Where could Yinuo go?"

"Mom, don't worry. I have asked the village chief and others to help find it." Lu Huaijin comforted her.
