Everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked left and right. Li Dayong suddenly shouted into the outer room: "Xiaomei, where is Ruhai?"

Jin Xiaomei came in with a bowl and listened to Li Dayong's question. She stood blankly at the door for a moment, then realized and asked Li Dayong: "Who are you asking? Didn't you come back first?"

Li Dayong was stunned by Jin Xiaomei's question. He didn't even bother to eat some noodles and got up from the edge of the kang to go out.

But at this moment, Li Ruhai's voice came from outside the house: "Ah, everyone is back? Why is the bus empty today?"

"Little calf!" Jin Xiaomei handed the bowl in her hand to Li Dayong, turned around and walked out.

At this time, Wang Meilan, Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu, and Jie Chen also put down their chopsticks.

He, Li Ruhai, is just a junior high school student. He gets out of school at five o'clock every day. If he stays on duty, he will definitely be home at six o'clock.

But what time is it now?

It's past eight o'clock, what is this kid doing?

When Jin Xiaomei came out and took a look, she was stunned on the spot. She saw Li Ruhai holding the satchel hanging on his right shoulder with his right hand, and holding the earthen basket slung on his left elbow with his left hand.

Return with a full load!

"What have you been doing?" When Jin Xiaomei asked, everyone who was eating in the east room came out and saw Li Ruhai put the earthen basket in front of the pot. The basket was filled with beet lumps.

"Oh my god." Jin Xiaomei reached out and pushed Li Ruhai and shouted: "Where did you steal it?"

There are three treasures in the Northeast, as well as three knots, namely mustard knots, beet knots and broom knots.

Broom sticks are for beating people, while mustard sticks and beet sticks are for eating.

At this time, in the winter in the Northeast, you can't buy fresh vegetables, and you can't buy potatoes and cabbage every day, so pickles are indispensable.

Various kinds of pickles emerge in endlessly, and mustard dumplings are a must-have pickle in every household.

As for beetroot, fewer people grow it.

There are very few people growing this in Yong'an Village.

Li Ruhai's face was full of indignation and he shouted to Jin Xiaomei: "What did you steal? My mother Liu got this for me."

"Your Mother Liu..." Jin Xiaomei was startled, and then realized that the Mother Liu mentioned by Li Ruhai was Liu Mei's mother, her future in-laws.

At this time, Li Baoyu stepped forward, pointed at Li Ruhai and shouted: "You went to someone else's house again?"

Although Li Ruhai felt guilty, he still raised his head and said: "I will help my mother Liu today, while my sister-in-law has a day's work!"

Who hasn’t had a hard time? Li Baoyu knew how many bad things Li Baoyu had done, and he was afraid of what Li Ruhai would say to Liu Mei.

When Li Ruhai heard this, he rolled his eyes at Li Baoyu. To be honest, he didn't want to meet Liu Mei.

This morning, Li Ruhai followed a group of old women and was walking towards the southern land, talking and laughing, when he suddenly met Liu Mei and his wife on the way.

At that time, Liu Mei asked, "Why doesn't this child go to school?" Li Ruhai was stunned.

Yes, why doesn't he go to school?

If Liu Mei told Li Baoyu, and Li Baoyu told Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei, what awaited Li Ruhai would be another mixed doubles match.

Li Ruhai believed that his elder brother could do that, so he took the initiative to ask for help and helped Liu Mei and his wife with the work for a day.

At noon, Li Ruhai wanted to eat the big pancakes Song Qiuyue bought for him in the morning, but Liu Mei stopped him and let Li Ruhai eat the big pancakes brought by his wife.

Logically speaking, a big pancake is not as good as a big pancake.

But you have to see how you eat it.

Liu Mei pulled some dead branches around to light the dried corn leaves, baked the big cake she brought for two minutes, and took out some sugar syrup to dip it in.

The big pancake dipped in sugar is amazing!

Li Ruhai has seen the world, but even the little naughty Jianlibao is not as good as this one in his opinion.

Seeing that Li Ruhai was eating deliciously, Liu Mei's mother, Han Qiuli, said that she would give Li Ruhai all the remaining syrup in the jar.

This syrup is made from beet pimples. It is golden in color, just like honey. And the taste is no less than honey. It is sweet and delicious. It can be used to dip hot pancakes or freshly baked sticky bean buns. It is amazing!<

/p>

In the Northeast these days, this meal is suitable for all ages.

Li Xiaoqiao, who almost cried when she heard about the large baked pancakes dipped in sugar that Li Ruhai ate for lunch and the bald pancakes at night, pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Li Ruhai and said angrily: "Second brother, you never want to eat delicious food."

Hold me!"

"Who said that?" Li Ruhai reached into his shoulder pocket, took out a can, and said to Li Xiaoqiao: "Sister, what do you think this is?"

"Tangji!" Li Xiaoqiao tiptoed to pick out the can bottle in Li Ruhai's hand. There was still a bottom bottle of sugar syrup in it, which attracted the little girl more than anything else.

Li Ruhai handed the can to Li Xiaoqiao, and then said to Jin Xiaomei: "Mom, you can put some big pancakes on it tomorrow morning, fry it in Heixiazi, and then dip it in sugar syrup to eat."

Frying large pancakes and dipping them in sugar, Jin Xiaomei licked her lips and saw Li Ruhai take out two large pancakes from her schoolbag. Jin Xiaomei subconsciously took them and asked: "Is this also given to you by your sister-in-law?" <

/p>

"This is not it." Li Ruhai smiled and said: "This is what my sister Qiuyue bought for me."

Jin Xiaomei curled her lips, saying that her son was like eating a hundred meals a day, but he was never hungry anywhere, and he was also a talent.

At this time, Li Dayong asked: "You came back so late, where have you been?"

"We will eat at my sister-in-law's house tonight." Li Ruhai said with a smile, "I said I wouldn't go, but my sister-in-law forced me to go there!"

Li Baoyu: "..."

Ever since Li Baoyu got engaged to Liu Mei, he has never had a meal at Liu Mei’s house!

Li Ruhai didn't care about his elder brother's jealous gaze and continued: "My mother Liu prepared four dishes for me tonight, as well as the sausages that my uncle Liu's colleague brought for him. They taste quite good."<

/p>

"Second brother!" Li Xiaoqiao stretched out her little hand to pick up Li Ruhai's schoolbag and said crisply: "Have you eaten sausages yet?"

"I didn't get this back." Li Ruhai said with a smile: "My sister-in-law wants to bring it to me, but I don't have the nerve to ask for it."

As soon as Li Ruhai finished speaking, he saw that everyone turned and went into the house. Only Li Baoyu stayed, stared at him and asked: "You are not talking nonsense to your sister-in-law, are you?"

"What can I say?" Li Ruhai seemed to be a little impatient and shook his head, saying: "Let's just chat for a while."

Li Baoyu: "..."

After Zhao Jun and the others finished eating simple noodles with pickles, they took the flashlights and left the house together, looking for Hei Hu and Zhao Youcai.

That's right, Zhao Youcai hasn't come back yet.

Zhao Jun, Li Dayong, Li Baoyu, and Jie Chen were looking from Tunnantou to Tunbei. Although it was almost nine o'clock, they did not bother to disturb the neighbors in order to find someone.

Zhang Zhanshan, who had already fallen asleep, vaguely heard someone shouting Zhao Youcai's name outside. He immediately stood up from the kang and laughed, scaring the sleeping Xu Meihua.

After wandering around the village, Zhao Jun became a little anxious at this time. Not to mention where the black tiger went, the key point is that his biological father is gone too.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out of a house in front of him. Li Dayong subconsciously took a flashlight to shine, and saw the figure ducking behind the wall.

"Brother?" Li Dayong asked tentatively, but no one answered. Li Dayong immediately became extremely vigilant and greeted Li Baoyu beside him. Zhao Jun and his ministers said: "Look, see if that is a thief!"
p>

As soon as Li Dayong said this, the three young men cheered and surrounded him. However, when they saw one person running away in a hurry in the dark night, Zhao Jun and others gave chase.

At this time, the man in front was nearly 200 meters behind Zhao Jun and the others, but with Li Baoyu here, what was this 200 meters?

Li Baoyu arrived first, caught up with the man, opened his arms and grabbed the collar of the back of his neck, and shouted: "Come here! Give it to me!"

The man was pulled back by Li Baoyu, took two steps back, and lay on his back. Li Baoyu turned around and rode on him, but heard him shout in a low voice: "Li Baoyu! It's me!"

"Huh?" Li Baoyu was stunned and said in surprise: "Brother Dalong?"

"Keep your voice down!" Wang Dalong pushed Li Baoyu and said, "Are you a tiger?"

In fact, Li Baoyu hated to see this guy the most, but Wang Dalong was a relative of Zhao Jun's family, so Li Baoyu had nothing to do.

At this time, Zhao Jun and others came over one after another, and when they saw it was Wang Dalong, Zhao Jun frowned and said, "Brother Dalong, what are you doing outside, you are just trying to make a fool of yourself?"

There is no need to ask, everyone knows it, but as things have developed now, Wang Dalong has to be given a step to step down.

"Ah..." Wang Dalong got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and said to Zhao Jun: "I... come out and go to the latrine."

This is pure nonsense. I have never heard of someone who lives in the east of the village but goes to the west of the village to go to the latrine. And even if he really goes to the latrine, he won't run away when he sees someone?

But at this moment, no matter what he says, Zhao Jun and others will only choose to "believe" him.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Dalong changed the subject and asked Li Dayong, "Uncle Li, what are you doing outside if you don't sleep at night?"

"Oops." Li Dayong sighed and said, "I don't know where your uncle has gone? We are looking for him."

"Huh?" Wang Dalong was stunned when he heard this, raised his hand and pointed behind a few people, and said: "My uncle...why don't you put it there?"

Everyone turned around and saw Zhao Youcai leaning over and staggering over.

From the looks of it, I think I drank too much!

"Brother!" Li Dayong rushed to Zhao Youcai in a few steps, held his arm and asked: "Aren't you looking for a dog? Where can you drink here? Drink like this!"

Zhao Jun looked at Zhao Youcai and let out an angry sigh. He had never seen such a rude person. He thought he was out looking for a dog, but he didn't expect that he was going to drink.

It's almost ten o'clock now, and the dog can't be found anymore. Let's go home and sleep.
To be continued...
