It was already past nine o'clock when Zhao Jun and the others left Zhang Yuanmin's house.
By the time Zhao Jun got home, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na were already asleep, and Zhao Youcai was sitting alone in the west room, eating.
Jie Chen followed Zhao Jun inside. As the younger man, he greeted Zhao Youcai, "Uncle, just now eating?"
"Come on, son." Zhao Youcai played the part of an elder, inviting Jie Chen, "Sit down and have a drink with your uncle."
"No, thank you." Jie Chen replied with a smile, "I already drank plenty at Brother Zhang's house today."
"Have some water then." Wang Meilan poured water for Jie Chen from a thermos, explaining, "Your uncle had a work dinner at the canteen today, so he got back late."
The plan for today was to have dinner at the Li Family's home, but even after Li Dayong and Li Baoyu returned, Zhao Youcai was still nowhere to be seen.
