Xu Shiyan didn't care about the life and death of the Wu family, nor did he care about what happened to Xu Shide and his wife.
The only thing to do now is to seize the time to review.
On July 18th, the school started the final exam. After the exam, everyone packed their luggage, bought tickets and headed back.
Fortunately, there are fewer people going to university these days, and the universities in the provincial capitals do not gather together for the holidays, so the return car was okay and not crowded.
On the afternoon of July 24, the train arrived at Songjianghe Station. Xu Shiyan got off the train and got on a donkey cart, all the way back to Donggang.
As soon as I entered the front door of my parents' house, I heard the dogs starting to chirp. This is the sound dogs make when they see someone close to them.
Sure enough, I saw Xiao Huang, Er Hei and other dogs all wagging their tails and raising their front legs, eager to throw themselves on Xu Shiyan and lick him twice.
Xu Shiyan had no choice but to put down the things in his hands, walked over and touched the dog's head and scratched its chin.
Those dogs were so happy, they narrowed their eyes and enjoyed it.
"Dad? It's dad who's back. Grandpa, grandma, it's dad who's back."
There was noise from the dog outside. Xu Haiyuan came out to check and saw that his father was back. Xu Haiyuan was so happy that he shouted loudly.
When Xu Jinping in the room heard this, she ran out.
After seeing her father in the yard, the little girl ran towards him with a face of surprise.
"Daddy is back, oh, daddy is back. Dad, give me a hug."
No matter how smart and sensible she is, she is still just a seven-year-old girl. She hasn't seen her father for several months, so it's normal for her to act coquettishly and ask for a hug.
Xu Shiyan bent down and picked up his daughter, "Hey, my daughter, Ping Ping, has gotten heavier again. Has she grown in stature?"
Well, I think she has grown up and has become a big girl." Xu Shiyan deliberately teased his daughter.
With Xu Jinping's shrewdness, how could she not know that her father was teasing her on purpose?
But this time, she was very dignified and didn't expose it, she just pursed her lips and kept having fun.
"Huh? Where are your brother and sister? Why didn't you see them?"
Xu Shiyan put down his daughter, picked up the large and small packages on the ground, walked into the house with his daughter, and asked casually.
The two little ones must not be at home, otherwise they would have run out.
"Oh, my mother took them to pop dimethoate.
The mill down there has built a machine that can explode dimethoate. You can get the grain yourself and spend some processing fees to explode as much as you want."
Xu Haiyuan helped carry a lighter bag and explained at the same time.
Dimethoate, also called rice crackers in some places, is generally a puffed food made from rice.
Everyone calls this process of making Dimethoate.
The rice will be white when popped, and the big rice and small rice will be yellow when popped.
When the rice is put into the machine, a little saccharin is mixed into it, and the popped dimethoate has a sweet taste and comes in different shapes.
It can be twisted into a ball, or it can be made into individual sticks with a hook bent at one end. Many children call this kind of walking stick.
In this age, the fragrant and sweet Dimethoate is a rare snack for children.
In the past, it was occasionally sold in the Songjianghe market. No matter who saw it, they would buy three or five walking sticks or a ball, and the children would rush over it and finish it quickly.
This time there is a machine in Donggang. As long as you pay a processing fee, you can explode a bunch of dimethoate. Many families in Donggang use grain to explode it.
Su Anying happened to have nothing to do today, so she just wanted to make some snacks for the children.
Originally, Su Anying thought of going by herself, just go and come back quickly.
As a result, the two kids saw him and they had to follow him. They had no choice but to lead him.
"Oh, Dimethoate, that one is quite delicious. I didn't expect we have a machine in Donggang, it's quite good.
If you are willing to eat it, we can make it more often in the future."
The processing fee for that thing is not much. One pound of grain can make a big ball. It can feed the four children of the family for two days.
To make the children happy, you can do this.
While they were talking, the father and son entered the east room.
Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan were both at home, and Zhou Guilan was undressing on the kang. From the looks of it, they should be the cotton jackets and trousers that Xu Haiyuan and the others had when they were young.
I guess I wanted to take advantage of the good weather outside in the summer to unpack and wash all the cotton-padded clothes and start making them in advance, so as not to have to rush out when the weather gets cold and I wash and make them immediately.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Xu Shiyan put the things in his hands aside and greeted his parents with a smile.
"Well, it's good to come back. It's been a peaceful journey, right?"
Xu Chenghou was very happy to see his son back. He quickly knocked down the pipe and pot and went to talk to his son.
"It's good. It's been much safer recently, and there aren't many people in the car."
In fact, there are still a lot of petty thefts in the car, and this can't be stopped. Xu Shiyan just doesn't want his parents to worry.
"Dad, is there nothing going on at home? I couldn't make it back for your birthday. Well, have my elder brother and the others come back?"
What Xu Shiyan wanted to ask the most was how many of the brothers in his family were really angry.
He told his brothers that way at the beginning and tried to persuade them with all his sincerity, but there was still trouble on the fourth child's end.
Xu Shiyan was worried that if something happened to the boss and Lao Wu, his parents wouldn't know how to get angry.
"Well, they're all back." Xu Chenghou still didn't understand what Xu Shiyan meant? So he nodded.
"On the twenty-eighth day, your eldest brother and fifth brother came back with their wife and children, and fourth brother came back by himself.
It's okay, the boss and the fifth family are fine, so you don't have to worry about it.
The eldest brother was scared and timid in those years.
Lao Wu, you still don’t know about him? He’s smarter than a monkey when it’s stained with hair, and you’ve persuaded him so much, how can he just fall in like a fool?
It’s just the fourth child who can’t control his daughter-in-law’s family, so the old Wu family is being dragged down.”
Xu Chenghou became angry when he mentioned these things.
"So, how was the matter with Lao Si Zhang finally resolved?"
Xu Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that nothing happened to his elder brother and Lao Wu.
If several brothers were hit by thunder one after another, how worried would parents be?
If that were the case, if something happened to three of the five brothers, the family would probably be in trouble.
"How can we solve it? The fourth child said that the trick you gave is to call the police directly to arrest the person, arrest all the people who hit the person, and then take care of the medical bills and other compensation they want.
From what I heard, Wu Jinsheng owed money, apart from his parents and relatives, and the rest he owed money to someone else's Clivia.
Also, the families who helped sell Clivia before were all greedy and were deceived by Wu Jinsheng into investing their money again.
So this time, in the end, the dog bites the urine and soaks up the empty space and rejoices.
For others, Clivia is gone and their money is gone. The Wu family even lost their own money, and one of them was seriously injured and another suffered a stroke."
When Xu Chenghou said this, he couldn't help but sigh.
This is the result of greed. You don't know how to take it when it's good, you just want to make a big profit.
It's going downhill now, and all the water in the bamboo basket is empty, and nothing is caught.
"So, you were right to run back quickly at that time.
If any of you have other ideas, we will probably be the ones who are bankrupt right now."
Zhou Guilan, who was unpacking her clothes, let out a long sigh.
