After listening to Xu Changsheng's complaints, Xu Tongdao had some thoughts in his mind, but he did not tell Xu Changsheng immediately at this time.
Because he felt it was not the time to say it yet.
…
At early four o'clock in the afternoon, Ge Xiaozhu came to replace his son Xu Tongdao.
After all, a mother feels sorry for her son.
Comrade Xu asked her why she came so early. Didn't she agree to come back in the evening?
Ge Xiaozhu walked up to him and whispered: "You go home early for dinner. Xiao Linzi's mother sent a knife of pork and dozens of eggs to our family early this morning. We didn't even eat the old duck stewed at home yesterday.
, I specially left some for you at home, you should go back and eat it! By the way, there is also the fish that Xiaolu caught yesterday, you should go back and eat it! Hurry up!"
So Comrade Xu went back.
As for Xu Changsheng?
This stepmother has been living in Weishang recently, and no one in his family has come to replace him.
When Comrade Xu left, Xu Changsheng, who was sitting under the eaves, could only watch helplessly.
When Xu Tongdao went home yesterday, he was accompanied by Xu Tonglin along the way, but today he is alone.
It just happened to be convenient for him to consider the small business of kebabs along the way.
The investment in this small business does not need to be large, but it still requires a few hundred yuan.
And he only has a hundred dollars on him now.
This is what he left behind on purpose.
He wanted more than 700 yuan back from the people who emptied his belongings. Yesterday he gave his mother 600 yuan. He kept more than 100 yuan. He originally planned to go to the county to find a job in a few days. The first one
There is no monthly salary, which is used for food and drink.
This hundred yuan is probably a bit short if I want to start a skewers business.
After all, he had never cooked barbecue before, so he had to buy some ingredients and try it out a few times.
If a few times are not enough, the cost of trial production will have to increase.
Asking your mother for money?
This option was not within his consideration range.
Yesterday I gave 600 to my mother, and this morning I gave 150 from the snakehead and turtle sales to my mother, so the total is only 750.
This money is reserved for his younger brother and younger sister to register for school. They usually have to buy some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and so on at home. He can't touch that money.
so……
I have to think of ways to earn more these days.
Of course, he could also choose to go to a relative's house or borrow some from Xu Tonglin's house. If he had the nerve to ask, he should be able to borrow some.
But he just didn't want to give up that face.
In order to survive and make money, he can do any job, regardless of whether it is decent or not.
But he would not consider borrowing money from others unless it was absolutely necessary.
Comrade Xu walked and thought, and gradually he came up with an idea.
When they got home, their sister Ge Yuzhu was feeding chickens into the chicken coop. Xu Tongdao didn't see his younger brother Xu Tonglu, so when he entered the door, he asked, "Where is your second brother?"
"Brother, are you back? I've prepared the food and will serve it to you right away! The second brother is reading in the room! The second brother! The eldest brother is back and will come out to eat soon!"
Ge Yuzhu was very happy to see Comrade Xu come back.
He quickly threw all the chicken food in his hands into the chicken coop, clapped his little hands, shouted to the door, then quickly turned around and ran to the kitchen to serve food.
"coming……"
Xu Tonglu's voice came from the room, and the door opened. Xu Tongdao took a look. Xu Tonglu still didn't look at him directly, with an expressionless face, but this guy was clean today. It looked like he hadn't gone out to fish today.
"Have you read a book at home today?"
Comrade Xu couldn't help but ask.
Xu Tonglu still had no expression on his face. He said yes and walked past him.
This kid...
Comrade Xu smiled, feeling very pleased and did not care about this boy's arrogant appearance.
When the food was served, Xu Tongdao saw that there were fish and meat, duck soup, and a plate of fried water spinach.
There are both meat and vegetables. At first glance, his food is very good. It doesn't look like he is having a difficult time and is running out of food.
"Brother, this old duck leg was specially left for you by mom. Eat it quickly!"
Sister Ge Yuzhu picked up an old duck leg and placed it on his rice head, smiling and urging him to eat quickly.
Comrade Xu was stunned.
He knew that his mother was not bad towards the daughter she had adopted since childhood, but he also knew that her mother was still a little partial when it came to food and drink.
For example, when the family eats chicken or duck during festivals, he will always have one of the two chicken legs or two duck legs, while his brother Xu Tonglu will have one, and his sister Ge Yuzhu will rarely get to eat one.
This old duck was stewed yesterday. He didn't eat at home last night, and he couldn't eat porridge in the morning. He was still not at home today at noon. Logically speaking, the two duck legs should have been distributed to his younger brother and younger sister.
But his mother still specially left one for him to this day.
"The other leg is not for you to eat, right?"
Comrade Xu smiled and asked Ge Yuzhu.
Ge Yuzhu smiled, shook her head and said: "It's okay! Mom gave me a large piece of duck breast. I like to eat that. This leg is specially reserved for you. Brother, please eat it quickly!"
Tongdao Xu could tell that his sister really didn't mind.
The smile on his face was not forced.
She should have been used to it since she was a child. This girl has been easily satisfied since she was a child.
Tongdao Xu smiled lightly, picked up the duck legs on top of the rice, and placed it in her bowl.
"You can eat it! I like to eat duck neck, this is for you!"
Ge Yuzhu was surprised and said hurriedly: "Brother! This is what mom specially left for you. Besides, I don't like eating duck legs either..."
As he said that, he picked up the duck leg and gave it back to him.
Comrade Xu glanced at her and emphasized his tone, "You can eat it if you are told! I told you I don't like it!"
Ge Yuzhu: "..."
Biting her lips lightly, Ge Yuzhu whispered: "Thank you, brother."
Xu Tonglu kept eating by himself without interrupting the whole process.
Until then, he glanced at Xu Tongdao coldly and still said nothing.
Xu Tongdao took a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth. When he raised his hand to pick up the vegetables, he asked casually: "Yuzhu, I asked you to sell fish today. Did you sell it? Is it good to sell it?"
"Sell it, sell it! Brother, let me tell you, I sold it for eighteen yuan! I can't say whether it's easy to sell or not. Recently, many people have gotten their own fish, but my mother asked me to sell it cheap, so then
Several kilograms of fish were sold out before they left our village, and I gave all the money to my mother."
"Leave it to mom? Didn't I let you keep it for yourself?" Tongdao Xu was a little surprised.
Ge Yuzhu smiled softly and shook his head, "Eighteen yuan! Brother, I have nothing to buy. With so much money, it's better to give it to mom, right?"
Xu Tongdao looked at her and did not continue to talk about this topic. Instead, he said: "Just sell it. In this way, in the next few days, I will go out to catch fish, and you will be the one to sell it! Don't pay for the sale."
Give it to our mother, leave it to me! I can use it!"
Ge Yuzhu and Xu Tonglu were both surprised. They both subconsciously looked at Xu Tonglu in confusion.
Ge Yuzhu: "Brother, what do you want the money for?"
"You will know in a few days, eat! Don't ask so many questions!"
