Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 1661 - 905: The Missing Person

Winter, River Dam Bungalow.

The light fades away, leaving only a bright red hue at the horizon, tinged with a slight haze.

The brown-black branches of the Yang Tree, the red round sun, the vast fields, tranquility and peace fill the world.

The weary birds have returned to their nests, and Xingxing, exhausted from a day’s work at the strawberry garden, is still laboring like a horse.

His hands tremble from fatigue.

Dongdong found a whip from somewhere, standing beside Xingxing, supervising his work, repeatedly warning, "When your dad comes to pick you up, if you dare complain, watch out, I’ll beat you to death!"

"Alright, alright, I won’t say a word," Xingxing outwardly complies, but in his heart, he rebels; today, he leaves the river dam and won’t return!

What can Dongdong do about it? Hahaha!

Dongdong fixed his gaze on Xingxing and suddenly laughed: "You often go to Yucai Internet Cafe, right?"

Hearing this, Xingxing’s face changed drastically: "How do you know?"

Dongdong felt immensely proud, his burly figure exuding an air of dominance: "Because you can’t escape the Five Finger Mountain of mine, Dongdong!"

In fact, it was Jiang Ning who provided him with this information.

As Dongdong’s first employee, he had high hopes for Xingxing.

Xingxing felt overwhelming fear, silently vowing, ’I will never go to Yucai Internet Cafe again!’

Dongdong suddenly leaned closer, as if seeing through his thoughts, speaking in a mysterious tone: "You may not go online, but dare you skip school? You’re in Class 3 of Grade 5 at Nanhong Primary School!"

Xingxing finally panicked, how did he know even this!

His scalp tingling and his heart pounding in fright, Dongdong suddenly took a step forward, nearly face to face with him: "Xingxing, even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you go!"

Xingxing let out a scream "Ah!", his worldview nearly collapsing.

Just then, the sound of a motorcycle came from afar.

Xingxing suddenly said: "My dad’s here to pick me up!"

Dongdong stared at him: "Behave yourself!"

Thinking about his miserable future life, Xingxing, like a numb machine, step by step walked towards the west of the bungalow.

Behind him, Boss Yang picked up a basket of strawberries: "Dongdong, you pass this to him."

This kid did a good job; Boss Yang wasn’t stingy.

As Xingxing reached the bungalow door, his dad, Huang Guan, glanced at his son, noticing that in just one day, the unruly look on his son had disappeared.

He was greatly shocked; was the labor in the strawberry garden that effective?

Huang Guan couldn’t help asking: "Xingxing, are you happy?"

Xingxing wanted to frown, but Dongdong came up beside him, taking the chance to put an arm around his shoulders.

Under the beastly aura, Xingxing forced a smile: "Dad, I love it here, it feels like home."

Huang Guan, who has long been doing hard labor, didn’t think much, repeatedly praising: "Good, good!"

Dongdong was very pleased, presenting him with a basket of strawberries.

Huang Guan, surprised like a favored subject, waved his hands vigorously: "I really can’t accept this, I really can’t!"

Zhang Yuantong beside him said: "That’s the result of your son’s labor, he deserves it."

Although Zhang Yuantong didn’t know Xingxing, Xingxing working for a day could earn her nearly 80 yuan.

After much insistence, Huang Guan reluctantly accepted, showing pride for his son on his face.

Huang Yuzhu chatted with Jiang Ning for a bit, and the three of them drove away.

Midway, the tormented Xingxing secretly shed tears.

Huang Yuzhu noticed his brother crying and quickly called to his dad.

Riding the motorcycle in front, Huang Guan smiled and said: "Look at this kid, barely left and he’s already missing it!"

Huang Yuzhu suddenly realized: "He still wants to stay overnight at the river dam!"

He comforted: "Don’t worry bro, I’ll get up early tomorrow and bring you there!"

Xingxing’s crying intensified.

"Hi, look at this kid, haha!" Huang Guan and Huang Yuzhu beamed with smiles.

Laughter and crying interwoven on this motorcycle, portraying the vibrancy of life.

After a dozen minutes, the motorcycle arrived at Huang Yuzhu’s old street.

Huang Yuzhu’s phone vibrated continuously; it was a call from Tang Jing.

Huang Yuzhu hung up at first.

Tang Jing called again, Huang Yuzhu had to answer, and Tang Jing’s reprimanding voice came through the receiver: "I told you I have 200 free minutes each month, why do you hang up?"

Huang Yuzhu expressed his apologies.

After scolding for a while, Tang Jing said: "Yuzhu, I have to admit, the face cream you gave me is really good, not drying at all."

Some time ago, during Yu Zhuma’s birthday, Tang Jing gifted an entire set of skincare products, and Huang Yuzhu was shocked, unable to return the gift. He wasn’t someone who liked to take advantage.

Given Huang Yuzhu’s financial struggles, he carefully selected and bought a face cream to give to Tang Jing.

Tang Jing praised: "I didn’t expect you to be so simple yet good at choosing gifts!"

Huang Yuzhu chuckled: "I had Wang Yan Yan from class recommend it."

Tang Jing’s face turned dark instantly; the reason she sought out Huang Yuzhu was to enslave him and fight against Wang Yan Yan.

Now...

The line was silent for a long time, Huang Yuzhu thought she had hung up.

Tang Jing was no ordinary woman; she had a strong sense of strategy.

Tang Jing forced a smile: "Yuzhu, let’s have barbecue tonight. There’s a place where the drinks with the barbecue taste wonderful, my aunt just left, I can drink a few more cups."

Huang Yuzhu promptly refused: "Your aunt just left? Now is the time to keep vigil! How can we go have barbecue?"

...

"Dongdong, you kid, not bad, come have meat at my place!"

Mr. Qian rarely invited Dongdong.

Not only Dongdong, but he also invited Zhang Ruyun.

Today, because everyone at the river dam worked together to defeat Director Han’s family, a long-standing burden from Mr. Qian’s youth had been slightly relieved, putting him in a very good mood.

The meal was eaten in the main room; despite the cold weather, Granny Qian cooked some porridge, which retained heat well, and even if left for quite a while, it remained piping hot.

Zhang Ruyun held the bowl with both hands, feeling the warmth, it felt wonderful.
