While picking up the first ridge on the polder, Xu Tongdao saw Xu Tonglin's father, Xu Weiguo, and Xu Weiguo also saw him. Xu Weiguo showed him a kind smile, nodded, and said hello to Xu Tongdao.
Obviously, after Xu Tonglin fell into the water last night, Xu Weiguo did not dare to let that kid come to the fair again.
"Uncle, are Linzi okay?"
While digging, Comrade Xu asked Xu Weiguo in a low voice.
Xu Weiguo hummed, "Xiaodao, thanks to you last night, my mother and I heard that although there were many people from the village in the village at that time, you were the only one who dared to go into the water to save our forest. If it hadn't been for you
...Sigh, I really don’t dare to think about the consequences!”
As he spoke, Comrade Xu could feel Xu Weiguo's gratitude to him.
Tongdao Xu smiled and said, "Uncle, Lin Zi and I grew up together. We are no different from brothers. He can't paddle. If I see him falling into the river, can I not save him? Don't be polite to me.
!”
Xu Weiguo nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay! Oh, by the way, Lin Zi woke up early this morning and cooked some delicious dishes, and asked me to bring them to you. Don't wait until lunch.
Be polite to me!"
Tongdao Xu smiled and nodded without refusing, "Okay! Then I'll thank you first."
Xu Weiguo waved his hand, "Look at what you said! It's all right. It's my uncle who should thank you. I know your family is in trouble right now, Xiaodao! I'll tell you, if your family needs help in the future, you and your mother
Just speak up and don’t be polite to uncle! Okay?”
"Okay, okay! Thank you, uncle!"
…
At noon, when we went to eat a big pot meal at the house below the polder, Xu Weiguo brought Comrade Xu an aluminum lunch box. After opening it, there was fish, meat, and scrambled eggs with green peppers.
A lunch box full of vegetables.
Xu Tongdao smiled and thanked him. He was not polite to him, but said: "Uncle, I can't finish eating so much. You can eat it with me! I'm not polite, so don't be polite to me, okay?"
Xu Weiguo waved his hand, turned around with a smile, and left, "I'm not polite to you, but I still have some for myself, and these are for you! You are at the age when you are growing, so you can definitely eat them, so you must eat them.
!No leftovers allowed!”
This scene was seen by many people.
Then some people started making jokes.
"Weiguo, what you're doing is wrong! Haha, even though we didn't go into the water to rescue your son last night, we all helped! You brought good food here and gave it to the kid on the trail to eat alone, no?
All right?"
"That's right! Wei Guo, I'm not talking about you! What you did was a bit stingy. Since you've made good food, why can't you make more? Let us all try it, right?"
"Xiaodao! Since you can't finish all these dishes by yourself, let me help you share some, okay? Haha..."
…
Listening to these chattering words, Xu Weiguo rolled his eyes at those people, took out his own rice bowl, stretched it out in front of those people, and said: "If you want to eat, you can eat what I have. All those places are for Xiaodao! Xiaodao yesterday
Wan risked his life to save my forest!"
Comrade Xu smiled and said to the villager who just said that he would help him share some of the burden: "Okay!"
Then the man really came and took a few pieces of braised pork and scrambled eggs with green peppers from the lunch box with a smile.
"Thank you, Xiaodao! You are a good boy! Hehe, he is much more generous than your father, not bad!"
This man is thin and dark, and he is also an old bachelor. He is in his forties, and he still lives with his mother.
He is not as arrogant as Xu Hengbing, but he occasionally sneaks around and takes advantage of others.
Xu Tongdao despised such a person in his heart, but he had no interest in offending him. It was meaningless.
Anyway, it's just a matter of a few chopsticks.
Moreover, except for this guy, although other people in the village also made jokes just now, no one else came to pick up the vegetables in his lunch box.
Comrade Xu carried the lunch box and the rice he had just brought, walked to the eaves, put the lunch box with vegetables on the window sill, took a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, put a piece of braised pork into his mouth, and chewed it
With.
I was eating comfortably when I looked up and saw a similarly skinny figure not far away.
And he happened to see the man facing him, swallowing his saliva.
Comrade Xu was stunned.
He also knew that person, he was also from their Xujia Village.
And he was similar in age to him. He remembered that the guy should be two years older than him.
His name is Xu Changsheng.
The name is very auspicious, but he is a miserable guy.
Why do you say that?
Because Xu Changsheng's biological mother died of dystocia when she was giving birth to him.
A few years ago, his father married another woman. That woman was good at giving birth and gave Xu Changsheng a younger sister and younger brother.
Therefore, Xu Changsheng became a stepmother.
This is not to say that the stepmother is definitely not good to the children of her husband’s previous wife, but Xu Changsheng’s stepmother is indeed not good to Xu Changsheng.
As far as Comrade Xu knew, Xu Changsheng had been living in the kitchen of his house these years, and built a bed with bricks and wooden boards in the kitchen where the firewood was kept.
Not only that, Comrade Xu remembered the original time and space. When he went to play with Xu Changsheng, Xu Changsheng was plucking chicken feathers. Xu Changsheng's family killed a rooster that day.
His stepmother sat knitting under the eaves and left the matter of plucking the chickens to the teenage Xu Changsheng. This was fine, but Xu Changsheng's stepmother was very scheming.
While knitting under the eaves, while chatting with the neighbors, he frequently said something that Comrade Xu would still remember for many years to come - "My parents are so pitiful! They have no luck! My parents don't eat chicken..."
"
But later, when Xu Changsheng went to the kitchen to cook chicken, Comrade Xu clearly saw him secretly taking two pieces of chicken from the pot and stuffing it into his mouth while his stepmother was not paying attention.
At that time, he was two years younger than Xu Changsheng and had a simpler mind. He stupidly asked Xu Changsheng, "Didn't your mother say you don't eat chicken?"
…
With these memories welling up in his mind, Tongdao Xu sighed secretly, raised his hand and waved to Xu Changsheng who was not far away, "Changsheng! Come here! There are so many dishes, I can't finish them. Come here and help me eat some! Come on!"
"
Xu Changsheng was stunned, and pointed at himself, a little unbelievable, "Xiaodao, you called me? Are you serious?"
Comrade Xu smiled, nodded, and waved to him again.
This time Xu Changsheng believed it and trotted over quickly, his face full of joy, "Xiaodao! You are so interesting! Thank you! Hehe."
"Why are you so polite to me? Eat! Eat quickly!"
Comrade Xu greeted Xu Changsheng while continuing to recall the fate of Xu Changsheng's original time and space.
In fact, he didn't know either.
Because he later heard from his mother that Xu Changsheng had not gone home to celebrate the New Year for several years, saying that his stepmother was too powerful. Every time Xu Changsheng went home to celebrate the New Year, he would be forced to make money by the stepmother after working hard for a year.
