Chapter 20 Selling Fish and Turtles

Not long after entering the village, Comrade Xu saw Xu Weizu from a distance, holding a teacup and a cigarette in his hand, sitting on a small bamboo chair in front of the door and listening to the radio as usual.

Who is Xu Weizu?

Xu Weizu is one of the only two teachers in the village, and Xu Weizu is also the principal of Shiba Primary School. When he was not the principal before, Xu Tongdao was studying in Shiba Primary School, and Xu Weizu was his class teacher.

But in his heart he had always despised Xu Weizu.

The main reason is not that Xu Weizu is too silly and likes to show off. What Comrade Xu dislikes most about Xu Weizu is... Xu Weizu is greedy and greedy.

I still remember that when he was studying in Xu Weizu's class, Xu Weizu would often sit on the podium during morning self-study and chew on big meat buns or other things.

Rou Baozi’s classmates were so greedy that they gulped secretly.

And every time Xu Weizu noticed this scene, he would say to them: "What are you looking at? Read the book carefully! There is a golden house in the book, a beautiful face in the book, and a big meat bun in the book!"

Would you say it's annoying?

Anyway, as far as Comrade Xu knew, there should be no one in his class who did not despise Xu Weizu.

So shameless!

Not only that, Xu Weizu also had athlete's foot and his toes were often itchy. Every week when giving physical education classes to their class, he would bring over a chair, lie on it comfortably with his fat body, and then call out the class results.

The worst boy goes over and rubs his toes...

Anyway, he is not worthy of respect.

However, his position as a teacher has always been secure, and he was later promoted to the principal of Shiba Primary School. Xu Tongdao thinks there are two reasons.

First of all, it should be because there are too few excellent teachers in Shiba Primary School. There are teachers with second-grade education who teach first and second grades; there are also teachers who have not graduated from elementary school but teach fifth grade...

In contrast, Xu Weizu's academic qualifications, which he graduated from a technical secondary school, were outstanding among the others.

Secondly...Xu Weizu is a good person, and it is said that he has a good relationship with the leaders above him.

Of course, these were not Comrade Xu's concerns. When he saw Xu Weizu sitting in front of the door smoking, drinking tea, and listening to the radio, the first thing he thought of was whether he could sell the old turtle in his fish basket to that guy.

He felt there was hope.

At the worst, Xu Weizu would also be interested in the snakehead fish in the fish basket, which weighed at least two kilograms.

Anyway, Xu Weizu’s family was not short of money, but he was also greedy.

So, with a thought in his mind, Tongdao Xu showed a smile and strode over. In the original time and space, at his age, every time he saw Xu Weizu, he would subconsciously stay away from him.

But now, he was almost forty years old before his rebirth, and he was no longer afraid of Xu Weizu.

As soon as he approached, Xu Weizu's half-closed eyes opened, and he glanced at the fish basket around Xu Tongdao's waist. Xu Weizu's eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his chin and asked: "Comrade Xu! What's in your fish basket?"

Are there any fish? Are they big?"

As he spoke, he licked his lips.

Comrade Xu's smile grew wider, he put down the shrimp rake in his hand, and walked over to let Xu Weizu take a look at the fish basket on his waist.

"Teacher Xu, I got an old turtle and a snakehead fish. They are all fresh and alive. They will be delicious when cooked. Do you want them?"

"Huh? You are so lucky! You really got an old turtle. Well... this old turtle is so beautiful! The stew will definitely be a great supplement. By the way, are you willing to give it to me?"

Xu Weizu was not only greedy, but also loved to take advantage of others.

Comrade Xu is clear about this.

You are so beautiful! I can’t bear to eat it myself, so why don’t you give it to you?

Xu Tongdao chuckled in his heart, but of course he would not say this with his mouth.

"Teacher Xu, you really know how to joke! My family is almost out of food, how dare you take my old turtle for nothing? Haha, with your character, Teacher Xu, even if I really give it to you, you will definitely not want it!

Right?"

Xu Weizu looked up at Xu Tongdao in surprise, probably because he was surprised that Xu Tongdao was so good at talking.

They would all talk against him.

It's true that he likes to take advantage, but he also likes to save face.

So, he nodded and said with a chuckle: "You better understand me! I used to be your teacher, and I've heard about your family's current situation. Haha, of course I won't take advantage of one of your children. That's it.

!You leave me the black fish and the old turtle, and I will give you one hundred and fifty yuan, do you like it?"

"Win! What's wrong with this? After all, you used to be my teacher too!"

Comrade Xu said nice words, and quickly untied the fish basket from his waist. While untying it, he said: "Teacher Xu, go and get something to put it in. The black fish doesn't matter, it can't escape, but the old turtle has legs...

"

"well!"

Xu Weizu promised repeatedly, but his body remained motionless. He just turned around and shouted to his family, "Xiaomei! Xiaomei! Get a bucket over here, hurry up!!"

Xiaomei is his wife.

Because he had an agricultural registered permanent residence, he farmed at home and was used by Xu Weizu as a servant on weekdays.

"Hey, here it comes!"

There was a reply from behind the house, and the voice was quite pleasant.

After a while, the bridge disappeared, but a charming woman came out carrying a red plastic bucket. When she saw Comrade Xu, she gave him a smile and said, "It's a trail! How did you do in the exam this year?"

Are you on it?"

She originally had a small face with melon seeds, but following Xu Weizu, a greedy person, she has become plump over the years. At least in this Xujia Village, among women of the same age, no one is prettier than her, even though she is plump.

, but not bloated, and her temperament is much better than other women in the village.

The way he is dressed is also closer to the style of city dwellers.

For example, right now, she is wearing a sleeveless dress and short skirt, which shows off her good figure.

But because I usually farm, my skin is not too white.

Seeing her, the first thing that flashed in Xu's mind was her niece.

Xu Tongdao remembered that her niece would come to live with her for a period of time every year. She was somewhat similar in appearance to her, but more beautiful.

Speaking of which, everyone has a love for beauty, and Comrade Xu had also secretly liked her before.

Of course, that was also in the past.

Right now, he no longer has that thought.

At that moment, while answering her questions, he quickly caught the old turtle and the big black fish from the fish basket and put them into the bucket she brought.

After he finished doing this, Xu Weizu asked him and his wife to go into the house to get money.

After receiving the money, Comrade Xu said goodbye to them politely, and went home with a fish basket in one hand and a shrimp rake in the other.

Earning another hundred and fifty gave him some peace of mind. Things are not expensive these days, and junior high school tuition is not expensive either. With this hundred and fifty, plus the money he asked for yesterday, his family should be able to live comfortably for the time being.

Passed.

At least his brother's and sister's tuition fees for the next semester will definitely be fine.
