On this day, the village had just finished harvesting rice. Since the household contract responsibility system was implemented, most families dried the harvested rice directly in their own yards.

Xu Yu's family had two large yards, so Yang Wenhui brought Tang Tangguo to dry the rice at home, while Jiang Qingyun dried it at the factory.

Tangtang and Guoguo sat in the small drying tray under the eaves, each of them looking at the pictures in a picture book. Dingdang lay sleeping beside them, but his eyes were always fixed on the rice in the yard. Whenever there was a bird coming to peck at the rice, he would immediately run over to drive it away.

Yang Wenhui sat on a small stool next to the two babies and made cloth shoes for them.

Just then, the phone at home suddenly rang.

Tangtang and Guoguo looked up in surprise. When they saw Yang Wenhui turn around and go in to answer the phone, they immediately got up and followed her in.

After Yang Wenhui answered the phone, she asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

The other party: "Hello, comrade, I'm looking for Comrade Xu Yuxu."

Yang Wenhui said, "Wait a minute, Xiaoyu is in the factory. I'll go call her now. Please call back in ten minutes."

The other party: "Okay."

Yang Wenhui hung up the phone and said to Tang Tangguo, who looked up at her, with a smile, "Looking for your mother."

Tangtang ran straight to the door: "I'll go call mom."

Guoguo immediately followed: "Wait for me, I want to go too."

Yang Wenhui said to them with a smile: "Run slower, don't fall."

The factory is only three or four hundred meters away from their home. They used to have to take a detour, but this year after her son came back from the provincial capital, he renovated the road and built a straight road, so it is very close now.

When Yang Wenhui walked out, the two little ones had already run for a distance. Although they were small, Jiang Qingyun would take them to the factory every morning to run with everyone, so they ran very fast.

The three of them arrived at the factory, and before they saw Xu Yu, Tang Tangguo called out, "Mom, mom, go back and answer the phone."

"Mom, someone called for you."

Xu Yu was in the pharmacy and came out when he heard the sound.

When Tang Tangguo walked in front of Xu Yu, she said to her again: "Mom, go back quickly and answer the phone."

Xu Yu smiled and took their hands, saying, "Okay, let's go home together."

Then he asked Yang Wenhui: "Mom, who called me?"

"The other party didn't say, but the number looks like someone from the provincial capital."

The two of them walked out of the factory together while talking.

Yang Wenhui guessed, "He must be asking you for medicine again."

Xu Yu also thought so.

After the two of them left the factory, Yang Wenhui said, "Didn't Xiaoyi say he'd be out for six months? It's already been six months. Do you think he'll be back soon?"

Tangtang Guoguo immediately became excited when she heard this.

Tangtang asked, "Grandma, is Dad coming back?"

Guoguo jumped up immediately: "Great, Guoguo misses daddy."

Xu Yu also thought about it, so she said, "If it's from the military, I'll ask later."

But when Xu Yu picked up the phone, before she could even ask, the other party said in a heavy tone: "Comrade Xu, we've received news that Comrade Jiang is missing."

Xu Yu felt her head buzzing. She asked in panic, "How did you know he was missing? Where did he disappear? When did he disappear?"

When Yang Wenhui heard this, her face turned pale.

Tangtang Guoguo didn't understand at all, so she looked at Xu Yu and the phone she was answering with curious eyes.

The other party said: "Comrade Jiang disappeared in Hong Kong City."

Xu Yu grabbed the desk where the phone was placed, his voice trembling slightly: "Is it that you can't contact him, or he didn't contact you? He must have brought someone with him when he went out, so he can't contact others either?"

“All missing.”

Xu Yu asked anxiously: "Did something happen over there?"

The other party simply said, "Comrade Xu, we are just informing you about this. Don't worry, we have already sent people to look for him. As long as he is still in Haicheng, we will definitely find him."

Xu Yu was worried and anxious about the other party's vague words, but she couldn't ask anything at all.

The other party has hung up the phone.

Seeing that the other party had hung up the phone, Yang Wenhui hurriedly grabbed Xu Yu's other hand and asked, "Xiaoyu, is it Xiaoyi's..."

"It's not certain yet." Xu Yu felt that her brother Yi would be fine, so she said, "Mom, don't worry, I'll call Zhu Juncheng and ask."

Yang Wenhui nodded quickly and let go of her hand.

Xu Yu quickly called Zhu Juncheng, but the other party told her that Zhu Juncheng was out on a mission.

Xu Yu suppressed the strong throbbing in his heart and called other people in the compound.

Seeing that neither of them was at the compound, Xu Yu called Xie Lange again. Xie Lange was in her rented office in the city center at the time. When she received Xu Yu's call, she could hear the anxiety in her voice and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Xiaoyu. I'll go find my dad right now and have him call you back!"

Xu Yu nodded, and after hanging up the phone, she sat down on the chair with a limp body.

Yang Wenhui's body was also a little weak. She propped herself up and sat on the chair next to her. She asked, "Xiaoyu, what's going on with Xiaoyi?"

Xu Yu didn't want to make her worry, but he also knew he couldn't hide it, so he said, "They only said that Brother Yi and the people he took out are missing."

Yang Wenhui's heart tightened, and her voice became louder: "Did something happen to Xiaoyi?"

Xu Yu felt dizzy and her heartbeat was irregular. She whispered, "I'm not sure."

Yang Wenhui was so panicked that she subconsciously scratched the table.

Tangtang Guo, who was standing by and watching them, also felt something.

Tangtang and Guoguo hurriedly grabbed one of Xu Yu's hands. The two little ones didn't know what to say at this time, but they both burst into tears.

Xu Yu quickly suppressed the throbbing in his heart, bent down and hugged them, comforting them and himself: "It's okay, don't be afraid, Tangtang Guoguo, Daddy will be back soon."

Jiang Qingyun and Dr. Hu soon found out about this.

Everyone waited until Comrade Xie called Xu Yu in the evening.

Comrade Xie said in a serious tone, "I didn't expect anyone here would notify you in advance. This person seems to have a questionable background."

Then, without hiding it from Xu Yu and the others, he said, "Comrade Jiang got a batch of goods outside. Many people don't want them to be shipped back to China, so there was a big friction in the waters near the port city. Our people who were there to pick them up sent back news that Xiao Jiang and the others are all missing."

"But don't worry, Xiao Xu. We've already sent people to look for them. We'll let you know once we find them."

"But...you also have to be prepared."

When Xu Yu heard this, she knew exactly what he meant. She simply asked, "You said the people who informed us in advance had issues with their background. Are they also looking for Brother Yi?"

Comrade Xie: "Nine out of ten... But don't worry about it. Since they called you in advance, it proves that they are getting impatient. It also proves that Comrade Jiang is probably still safe."

Xu Yu knew that this was probably just everyone's guess. Just because someone couldn't be found on either side didn't mean they were still alive, so she held the phone tightly, trying to control the pain in her eyes, and asked, "How long has Brother Yi been missing?"

"More than two months."

Xu Yu's hands began to tremble as she held the phone. She knew she couldn't blame them for not telling them. She only said, "If you find someone, tell me right away."

Comrade Xie: "Don't worry, I will inform you as soon as I find him."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, everyone looked at her.

Xu Yu repeated Comrade Xie's words to everyone.

Yang Wenhui's eyes were red, and she kept repeating, "Xiaoyi will definitely be fine! Xiaoyi will definitely be fine!"

Everyone was clueless at this time. Xu Yu was not only feeling overwhelmed but also had a terrible headache. He said to them, "I'm taking Tang Tangguo to rest. You should also go to bed early."

After saying that, he took Tangtang Guoguo’s hand and walked towards the bedroom.

The others looked at her back with serious expressions.

Yang Wenhui couldn't hold it in any longer, so she said, "I'm going to sleep too."

After saying that, he walked towards their room, and Jiang Qingyun hurriedly followed.

Doctor Hu and Doctor Huang looked at each other.

The two of them walked out of the room silently. After closing the door, they stood in the main hall. Doctor Hu spoke first, "If we can't find him for more than two months, Xiao Jiang is most likely in grave danger... If Xiao Jiang really has an accident, what will happen to Xiao Yuer and the two babies?"

After saying this, he felt very upset.

Doctor Huang had no expression on his face, but he said with certainty, "That kid won't die."

Dr. Hu looked at him.

Dr. Huang added, "He survived such a critical illness a few years ago, so he will definitely survive this time."

After saying that, he returned to the room where they lived, but he did not sleep. Instead, he took out the medicine box, took out two pieces of tortoise shells from it, and started to tell fortunes.

Dr. Hu opened his mouth and suddenly forgot what he was going to say.
