It fills three pages and can be said to be written in one go.
This is the knot of Xu Erlong's two lives. Bit by bit, you can pick it up at your fingertips.
Stopping writing, Xu Erlong read it a few more times, corrected typos and incorrect sentences, then carefully copied it onto letter paper, put it in an envelope, and sent it to Xu Damin's school.
In his previous life, he went to the brick kiln to carry bricks, and all the wages he earned were sent to Xu Damin. He was very familiar with Xu Damin's address.
He was very much looking forward to how Xu Damin would react.

The news that Xu Erlong became a householder worth ten thousand yuan undoubtedly dropped a bombshell on the production team.
"No way? Xu Erlong has become a household worth ten thousand yuan?"
"real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. In the county selection process, there are indicators to assess. The savings plus household assets must be 10,000 yuan to be selected."
"How is he making so much money? It's only been a few months since we separated. When we separated, we didn't even have bowls to eat, and we even borrowed two from my family."
"So it turns out that doing business is so profitable?"
"Of course, otherwise, why would we speculate at that time?"
"Then what if we don't crack down on speculation now?"
"Of course we won't crack down on it. Now we are encouraging people to make money and work hard to get rich."
"Then I will also collect eels for business."
"Then go ahead, you just remembered now? You can't even keep up with the freshness of eating shit. Go and see, what season is it now, where can there be eels?"
The villagers were joking, but there were still countless brave people, stimulated by such news, looking for some ways to make money.
The previous group of people, such as Yang Limin, had already started selling chickens.
Now, another group of people are stimulated and start selling other local products.
Not everyone has the talent and confidence to do business.
Even in a few decades, when everyone is doing business, most people will still choose to work honestly.
"I heard that Xu Erlong opened a leather shoe store in the city, but I don't know if he still needs someone? Seeing that Huang Xiaogang is always busy following him, let's go find something to do, too?"
"No, look at Huang Xiaogang and Huang Xiaoxia. They were children without a father and a mother. How pitiful they were. They ate too much and were sallow and thin. Now, they are in good health."
"Thanks to Xu Erlong for giving me a push."
When this was brought up, everyone's topic turned back to the Xu family: "But you see, the Xu family is not in a good situation now. Xu Erlong is pulling on outsiders, why doesn't he pull on his own family?"
"If Xu Erlong wants to pull some strings, he has to see if Mrs. Xu will give her face."
"Oh, it's hard to put it into words. When their family was in so much trouble, I'm afraid there was no possibility of reconciliation."
In the countryside, brothers will turn against each other and split up to live in separate families over trivial matters in the fields or unfair work at home.
And the affairs of Xu Erlong's family are not just trivial matters in the fields.
The partiality of being a father and a grandmother is as far as the armpits, let’s not mention it for now.
After all, in many families, when parents have biases, how can a bowl of water truly balance the situation?
But my cousin actually became my real brother, and my fiancée also became my cousin-in-law. Who would be able to accept this calmly?
Xu Erlong has become a household worth ten thousand yuan. This news naturally reached the ears of Mrs. Xu.
She sat on the small bench by the door with a gloomy face.
Sitting next to her was another Mrs. Zhao of a similar age in the village.
In the past, the two of them didn't deal with each other very much. They raised their eyebrows and raised their eyes at each other.
But now, as we get older, we actually feel sympathy for each other.
"Now that Xu Erlong has become a household with ten thousand yuan, you can enjoy the blessings in the future. One grandson is a college student, and the other grandson is a household with ten thousand yuan." Mrs. Zhao said.
Compliments sounded like mockery to Mrs. Xu's ears.
Oh, no one in the whole village knew that Xu Erlong had a quarrel with them and had a separate life.
She gouged out Mrs. Zhao's eyes fiercely.
Old Mrs. Zhao smiled: "It's no use rolling your eyes at me. I'm telling the truth. Feng shui has changed. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. You suffered enough when you were young. Now it's your turn to enjoy the blessings."
In Mrs. Xu's ears, she only heard the words "Feng Shui is changing."
She remembered that their family had been prosperous and prosperous in the past, but now, why did it fail so suddenly?
Could it be that because of the family separation, all her family's fortune was sucked away by Xu Erlong?
Otherwise, how could the Xu family be defeated so quickly? How could Xu Erlong become a householder worth ten thousand yuan so quickly?
Looking back on all the things that happened when Xu Erlong was making trouble to separate the family, Mrs. Xu always felt that something was wrong.
Mrs. Xu thought about it and finally went to the village next door.
In this village, there is a "Guan Hua Po", which is the so-called folk clergy worker and is a unique local name.
In those years, the Four Olds were destroyed, and this "flower-watching woman" was defeated, but she has been living an honest life.
But now, the trend is gradually gaining momentum again, and privately, some people are coming to her one after another to show her the "water bowl". In this way, she can also make some money.
Mrs. Xu searched hard, saved ten eggs as gifts, and went to find this "flower-watching woman" at her door.
"Guanhuapo" watched Mrs. Xu enter the door and probably guessed what was going on.
After all, from all over the country, something like this about the Xu family has long been a joke.
She received Mrs. Xu with a smile.
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Xu explained her purpose of coming. She wanted to see a water bowl to see if her family had been stained with bad things and everything was going wrong.
After evening, the "Hua Guanpo" closed the doors and windows and lit the kerosene lamp.
A bowl was placed on the stained Eight Immortals table, and a bowl of water was put in it to become a water bowl. The "Guan Hua Po" lit an incense stick, dotted talisman and drew seal characters on the water bowl.
"Guan Hua Po" kept mumbling words all the way, stopping from time to time to look at the water bowl, and then sighing and shaking her head.
"How is it?" Mrs. Xu asked nervously.
"Your family is having a bad year this year. It's really strange. It shouldn't be." Guanhua Po said, "Originally, this seemed like a good time."
Mrs. Xu kept saying: "Yes, that's what happened. In the first half of the year, my family was doing well. The land was guaranteed to each household, and it was all good land. The eldest grandson also did his best and became a college student that everyone envied."
"But it turns out later that this luck is wrong. Look, is the line broken here?" Guanhua Po said.
Mrs. Xu stared and looked into the water bowl.
But after looking at it for a long time, she still couldn't understand it. She smiled and said, "Look, how do you explain this?"
"It's hard to explain..." Guanhua Po held the incense and muttered for a while: "A broom star descended from the earth, and it happened to fall on your family's head. That's why it's so unlucky."
"It must be Xu Erlong. I said, why is the Xu family in such bad shape now? It turns out that it is him who is the broom star. Please help me find a solution for this." Mrs. Xu said: "I am just asking you to show me the way. From now on.
