When Yang Yongzhi came back after washing his face, Old Yangtou had already made arrangements for him.

"Rescuing people should be done sooner rather than later. Yongzhi, you should know where Damao and Liu'er's family live, right?" Old Yangtou asked.

Yang Yongzhi nodded: "I've been there for dinner a few times, so of course I know where they live!"

Old Yangtou put away the dry tobacco pole in his hand and stood up.

"Well, let's go there together now. Girl, I'm still relying on your close-fitting clothes to delay me!"

After saying these words, Lao Yangtou took the lead in leaving the house.

When Yang Yongzhi went to wash his face, everyone had already discussed who would go with him and who would stay in the restaurant.

Lao Yangtou, Yang Huaming, Yang Yongjin and Yang Ruoqing accompanied Yang Yongzhi there.

Luo Fengtang and Cao Bamei stayed in the restaurant to take care of the children, as well as Tan.

"Their home is on the outskirts of the county, not too far from here. Should we walk there or take a car?" Yang Yongzhi asked.

Old Yangtou said: "The road is not far, so let's walk over there. We'll do the math on the way."

So, the group of people walked toward the outskirts of the county town.

Yang Ruoqing walked behind Lao Yangtou and Yang Yongzhi, listening to their conversation all the way.

The general idea is to ask Yang Yongzhi about the situation of Damao and Liu'er's family.

Yang Yongzhi said: "Brother Damao and I met when we were unloading goods at the county dock."

"No, it should be said that I was introduced by an aunt who rented a house in the county last time and lived next door. She is Brother Da Mao's aunt."

"Chen Jinhong met the aunt first, and then I heard that the aunt had a nephew who was unloading goods at the dock, and the salary was pretty good."

"Chen Jinhong bought a pound of meat and gave it to the aunt, and begged her to let her nephew take me to the dock to unload the goods."

"That's how I met Brother Da Mao." Yang Yongzhi said.

Old Yangtou suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on Yang Yongzhi.

Then, the old man raised his hand, put it on Yang Yongzhi's shoulder, and pressed hard.

The muscles on those weather-beaten faces were twitching slightly.

The look in Yang Yongzhi's eyes was also extremely complicated and tangled, and there was something called distressed.

"Boy Zhi, my grandson, you, why did you humiliate yourself like that for a woman? Ah?"

In Lao Yangtou's voice, every word and every note was filled with sighs and heartache.

This deep love for licking a calf in his late years not only left Yang Yongzhi stunned on the spot, but also surprised Yang Ruoqing, Yang Huaming and Yang Yongjin who were standing next to him.

Yang Ruoqing was even more secretly shocked. It turned out that deep down in Old Yangtou's heart, he had more or less sincere feelings for his children and grandchildren.

He is not an old man who only cares about face.

Here, Yang Yongzhi recovered from the emotion.

"Master, grandson, grandson is unfilial..." he whispered.

Yang Huaming came over and said to him: "This does not conflict with filial piety or not. The main thing is that you have taken responsibility, little Zhi."

"In order to support my family, I go to the dock to unload cargo and do that kind of heavy work."

"I feel ashamed to say that when your fourth uncle and I were your age, we relied on your third and fifth uncles at home to eat, drink, and steal."

"Compared with me, you are so much better, Zhi boy!" Yang Huaming praised.

This made Yang Yongzhi feel a little embarrassed.

Lao Yang raised his hand and patted Yang Yongzhi on the shoulder: "We won't talk about the past. It's time to rest. We should look forward to the future."

Yang Yongzhi nodded, "Well, I have to look back."

Old Yangtou continued: "Young man, what are you going to do when you get to my house later?"

Yang Yongzhi was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the meaning of Old Yangtou's words.

Old Yangtou continued: "What I mean is, Liu'er, you now know that this girl is interested in you."

"When you meet her later, do you know what you should say to appease her?" the old man asked.

Yang Yongzhi looked confused and shook his head.

Old Yangtou said: "I'll tell you the truth. This is the main reason why we came here."

"I just want to come over and inspect Da Mao and Liu'er on the spot. If they are really good and honest, I can consider filling in a house for you..."

"Master, don't scare me!" Yang Yongzhi took a step back in fright.

Lao Yangtou stared: "What do you mean by scaring you? You can't be a bachelor for the rest of your life when Chen Jinhong is gone, right? Hong'er also needs a mother!"

Yang Yongzhi gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Old Yangtou wanted to say something more, but Yang Ruoqing came over.

"Sir, I'll save these words until we all meet Liu'er and then go back to the restaurant to discuss it with Third Brother," she said.

"The most urgent task is to go and see the person first. We should appease him when he needs to be comforted, and inspect when he needs to be inspected. Don't waste any more time." She added.

Yang Yongjin said: "Well, I agree with Qing'er, let's go first and then talk."

So, everyone stopped delaying and moved on.

On the outskirts of the county seat, a place similar to the urban-rural fringe.

There are relatively dilapidated and low-rise houses here. In front of and behind the houses, many of them have small carts from the night market stalls.

Come this time, these carts have not yet been sold out, but the vendors seem to be actively preparing for the night business.

Sitting at the door, making skewers, skewering the snacks, barbecue and other ingredients that will be sold at the night market in advance...

"I heard from Brother Damao that this used to be a village. Later, many people in the village moved away, and the vacant houses were rented by many small vendors from the village and town."

"There are fewer and fewer aborigines in this village, and their brother and sister are one of them."

"My family originally had a few acres of land, but it was later bought by wealthy landlords in the county and built a lavish mansion."

"The brothers and sisters just left a few vegetable gardens to grow some vegetables to sell and raise some chickens and ducks,"

"The family's source of income is Brother Da Mao unloading goods at the dock, and his life is very poor..."

On the way from this dilapidated village to Da Mao's house at the back of the village, Yang Yongzhi told Lao Yangtou and others what he knew about the situation in this area.

Lao Yangtou looked at the crowded and dilapidated scenery along the way and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Let me tell you, in order to live this life, you either have money, live in a large and luxurious courtyard in the city, have a house full of servants to wait on you, and travel with carriages to pick you up." Old Yangtou said.

"Otherwise, we might as well go back to our country."

"We have fields and land, mountains and water to support us,"

"Being next door, visiting relatives and friends, raising chickens, ducks, and fish, etc., what kind of things are not freedoms?"
