He couldn't just sit like this all the time!
The sun was setting, and the sky was about to turn dark.
The temperature dropped again, and the road was not as cold as it was at noon. He shivered, put on his jacket again, locked the door, and went to Li Zhaohui's house.
"Third Brother, you're here."
"You're still at home?" Li Zhaohui was not curious why his eldest brother did not go to the hospital, but why his eldest brother came to their house. If there was nothing important, Li Zhaokun would not even step into their house.
Although they were biological brothers, their relationship was very thin.
"Where's Yan Zi?" Li Zhaokun entered the yard and looked around.
"Uncle, she's watching TV." Li Yan ran out from the house and greeted him. "Come in and sit."
Li He did not leave, and it was not appropriate for her to leave alone, so she stayed at home.
"Uh-huh." Li Zhaokun coughed heavily and waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to enter the house. He said, "Well, don't you have that mobile phone? Hurry up and call your brother and ask when he'll be back."
Li Long's house also had a phone, but the door was locked. Otherwise, he would not have come here.
Several families in the village had a phone, and he did not want to borrow it.
"Hey, I'll call now. I just called once, but no one picked up. I was thinking of going to take a look." Li Yan went back to the house and took out the phone. She dialed in front of Li Zhaokun, but there was only a beeping sound. She explained, "No one picked up."
"Maybe the signal is bad." Li Zhaokun did not believe her explanation.
"No, no one picked up. I just tried Dazhuang's home phone, but I couldn't get through." Li Yan respected Li Zhaokun more than anything else. As for liking him, that was out of the question.
Even his own daughter did not like him, not to mention his niece.
"This is weird." Li Zhaokun turned around and left.
At night, no one came back until nine o 'clock.
He cooked a bowl of noodles for himself and added two eggs on purpose.
In the past, this was his delicacy, and he had to finish it with soup and water. But today, he only ate half of it and threw the bowl away. He even bit half of the egg. No matter how he ate it, he couldn't taste the same as before.
"How strange."
He muttered to himself.
The water on the stove was boiling. He picked up the basin and wanted to wash his feet. Suddenly, the basin fell. Wash my ass!
He kicked off his shoes and lay down on the bed.
He tossed and turned without closing his eyes. After tossing and turning for a while, he suddenly sat up.
"Damn it!" He inexplicably lost his temper again. "She's afraid of pain. The doctor can't give her acupuncture, right?"
Hang on!
He could imagine that this woman would be wailing like a ghost and howling like a wolf!
"Useless, I don't care about you!"
He covered himself with the quilt and continued to sleep.
There is a kind of sadness called "the more you want to sleep, the more you can't sleep."
He stared blankly at Li Long's big black dog, sleeping soundly.
He rolled over and peed in the courtyard. When he looked at the time, it was five o 'clock in the morning.
He didn't care anymore. He put on his shoes, zipped up his jacket, took a flashlight, and opened the door. The cold wind went straight into his neck.
At this time, he could only think of red chopped peppers, crispy radish slices, and hot white porridge.
Unfortunately, that prodigal woman was not at home. It was useless to think about it!
The dogs in the village were stirred up by him and barked wildly.
"Zhaokun, so early?" Chen Yongqiang's father came out early in the morning with a dung basket to pick up feces. He used his hand to cover his eyes, which were dazzled by the flashlight. "Where are we going?"
"Crazy." Li Zhaokun whispered disdainfully. Back in the days when he picked up feces, he was given work points according to the weight. Twenty pounds for one work point was very attractive. Li Zhaokun did not even look at it! Moreover, now that he had food and water, he could pinch his nose and run far away. "Hey, so early. Let's go out."
He still gave her this superficial warmth.
"Is his aunt alright?" Chen Yongqiang's father came closer and asked.
"Let's go and have a look." Li Zhaokun said absent-mindedly.
"Are you going to walk?" Chen Yongqiang's father asked enthusiastically. "Wait here. I'll ask Yongqiang to drive you there."
Of course, he did not feel that he had been looked down upon by Li Zhaokun.
"No need. It's just a few miles away." Li Zhaokun quickly waved his hand.
"He said yesterday that he would go there today. I told him to go earlier. Wait here." Chen Yongqiang's father carried the dung basket and turned to run.
"It's none of your business." Li Zhaokun snorted and walked on his own.
He had walked on this road all his life. He could even walk with his eyes closed. The only difference was that this road was made of cement. His prodigal son paid for it!
He could not think about it. His heart ached when he thought about it!
His whole body hurt!
When he was halfway there, there were tractors and hand trucks for the morning market. He did not take any of them and decided to walk.
"Uncle, get in the truck." Chen Yongqiang drove the truck and honked loudly.
Li Zhaokun moved aside and waved his hand. "You go ahead."
"Uncle, how long will it take for you to walk like this?" Chen Yongqiang had heard about Li Zhaokun from Li Long. He heard that Li Zhaokun was afraid of cars.
"No need." Li Zhaokun insisted that Chen Yongqiang walk first.
"It's very fast. We'll be there in about 40 minutes." Chen Yongqiang pushed open the truck door and insisted. "Hurry up. We can still have a bowl of beef soup in the county."
"No need." Li Zhaokun did not want to block Chen Yongqiang's way. He walked by the roadside and ignored Chen Yongqiang. He lit a cigarette and walked on his own.
"Uncle, what's going on?" Chen Yongqiang was an agile fatty. He jumped down from the truck effortlessly and caught up with Li Zhaokun.
"It's nothing." Li Zhaokun shook off Chen Yongqiang's hand. "I'm not used to sitting in cars. You go ahead. Don't worry about me."
"Uncle, if I go first, Erhe will scold me to death. He won't drag you along. I'm a good driver. Don't you believe me? "Chen Yongqiang did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"I'm not afraid of death!" Li Zhaokun was annoyed by his nagging.
"If you're not afraid of death, let's get in the truck!" Chen Yongqiang provoked him. "Uncle, you're scared just by sitting in a car. Look at my truck. It's very sturdy. I'm not afraid of crashing into anyone. Only others will suffer! "
"Really?" Chen Yongqiang was joking, but Li Zhaokun took it seriously. "You're not afraid of crashing into me?"
"How thick is this metal? What kind of car can compare to this? Are you kidding me? "Chen Yongqiang pointed at his lane." If you don't believe me, you can touch it yourself. "
"It's very sturdy." Li Zhaokun approached the car. He patted it here and there. Finally, he gritted his teeth and climbed into the car. "Take it easy," he said.
"Don't worry." Chen Yongqiang was very happy, as if he had done something good.
Along the way, Li Zhaokun was a little restless. Whenever he saw a car, he would shout, "Slow down, slow down. We're not in a hurry!"
"Hey, slow down!" Chen Yongqiang comforted him patiently.
When they reached an open road without cars, Li Zhaokun finally had the mood to ask, "You earn a lot from a big truck, right?"
"Let me put it this way. At three in the morning, there are only two kinds of people who are still working: prostitutes and truck drivers." Chen Yongqiang sighed. "Don't you think it's tough?"
"Young people have to suffer a little. When I was young, I slept at the train station at three in the morning!" Li Zhaokun acted like he was in charge of the country. "Now, you have food and drinks. What's there to be dissatisfied with? It's not bad."
"Yes, yes, you're right."
