Comrade Xu and others burned some paper money in front of each ancestral grave.
It took some time for the paper money to be completely burned, so he took his younger brother and the others to pull out all the miscellaneous trees and dead grass on the ancestral graves.
After more than an hour, after every pile of paper money was burned, he took his brother and the others down the mountain.
On the way down the mountain, Tongdao Xu suddenly remembered that Ge Xiaoyu sent him a text message the night he just came back - she heard from Xu Tonglin that he, Tongdao Xu, was going home that day.
Suddenly thinking of this, Xu Tongdao casually asked Xu Tonglin who was following him, "Hey, by the way, Lin Zi, in the past few days since you came back, has Ge Xiaoyu visited you? Did he ask you about me?"
What he really wants to say is - in the future, if Ge Xiaoyu asks Xu Tonglin about his Comrade Xu, let Xu Tonglin be as vague as possible and don't tell Ge Xiaoyu everything.
He is really not very interested in Ge Xiaoyu now.
but……
Xu Tonglin shook his head, "No! It's not that she came to me, it was because my father owed her father a salary that he hadn't paid yet. I just happened to come back, and my father also received the project money, so he asked me to give it to Ge Xiao
Yu's family sent her father's salary over there, and then when Ge Xiaoyu saw me, he casually asked when you were coming back, what happened? Has she looked for you?"
At the end, Xu Tonglin noticed Xu Tongdao's expression curiously.
The fire of gossip was burning in his heart.
Others may not know it, but he, Xu Tonglin, has had a good relationship with Xu Tongdao since he was a child. He had already noticed Xu Tongdao's secret crush on Ge Xiaoyu.
Now, Ge Xiaoyu is in college, and Xu Tongdao has earned at least tens of millions from doing business. Will Xu Tongdao want to lose it in the morning? Take Ge Xiaoyu down while he is rich now?
Xu Tonglin was really curious.
However, he didn't know that what he just explained casually made Xu Tongdao stunned and even stopped walking down the mountain.
Looking back at Xu Tonglin with a frown, Xu Tonglin said: "What? Ge Xiaoyu's father? Your father owes her father wages? Project payment? What project payment? What projects did her father and your father do together before his death?"
Comrade Xu was very surprised at this time.
He... seems to have figured out why Ge Xiaoyu's father, Ge Zhiping, had a completely different destiny in this life than in the original time and space.
Xu Tonglin was a little confused. He didn't know why Xu Tongdao had such a big reaction to this matter.
He blinked in confusion and said blankly: "Uh, yes! My dad has partnered with others to outsource several small projects in the past two years. They are all digging earth at other people's construction sites. They are all dirty work.
, after the tiring work was contracted out, she went back to the village to find someone to do it. Ge Xiaoyu and her father often went out to do things with my father when he was not busy in the past two years.
However, the project payment usually cannot be settled until the end of the year. Therefore, although her father has been dead for some time, part of her father's wages will not be given to her family until the end of the year, when my father has received the project payment.
,What, what’s wrong with Xiaodao?”
What's wrong?
Tongdao Xu was a little dazed at this time.
He remembered that in the original time and space, Xu Tonglin's father had never contracted any projects outside. In the original time and space... Xu Tonglin drowned in the river during the flood season in 1998. From then on, the middle-aged Xu Weiguo (Xu Tonglin's father), who lost his only son, became a
Decadent.
I have lost all interest in going out to make money and often drink alcohol at home.
His temper became increasingly irritable and erratic.
He has never contracted any projects outside, and it is even more impossible for Ge Xiaoyu's father, Ge Zhiping, to work under Xu Weiguo.
so……
Thinking of this, Xu Tongdao looked at the chubby Xu Tonglin with complicated eyes, and a voice in his heart said: Is this the butterfly effect?
It’s so unexpected!
In 1998, Xu Tongdao, who had just returned from rebirth, rescued Xu Tonglin, who was supposed to be drowned in the river in the original time and space. As a result... not only did he completely change his father Xu Weiguo's mental state and life trajectory, but also brought Ge Xiaoyu's death with him.
Dad's life was ruined.
Such an unpredictable butterfly effect... made Comrade Xu feel heavy in his heart.
Because he doesn't know how many people will be affected by a similar butterfly effect.
The most important thing is that he doesn't even know where to start if he wants to prevent it.
"Big brother? Big brother?"
"Xiaodao, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Xu Tongdao was in a daze and looking at Xu Tonglin with complicated eyes, Ge Yuzhu couldn't help but stepped forward and waved in front of Xu Tongdao and shouted twice.
Xu Tonglin couldn't help but ask again.
"Oh, I'm fine, let's continue going down the mountain!"
Comrade Xu came back to his senses, forced out a smile, turned around and continued down the mountain.
No one knew what was going on in his mind at this time.
He saved Xu Tonglin, but because of this, he indirectly changed the fate of Ge Xiaoyu's father, causing Ge Zhiping, who was healthy and long-lived in the original time and space, to suffer from gastric cancer and die early...
What Xu Tongdao was thinking at this time was - is this a coincidence? Or is it inevitable?
If it was just a coincidence, that would be better.
If it is inevitable...does it mean that after he is reborn, as long as he saves a person who is supposed to die, another person who would not have died early will die?
Just like he saved Xu Tonglin, but a few years later, Ge Zhiping, who was supposed to be alive, passed away?
This is a question that cannot be pondered over.
Because it’s scary to think about it.
Thinking of these things in his mind, Comrade Xu seemed very silent.
When I reached the foot of the mountain, I looked up and suddenly saw a family standing not far away - the Xu Changsheng family.
Xu Changsheng, Xu Changsheng's father, stepmother, younger brother, and younger sister were all standing at a three-way intersection in front of them. The whole family's eyes were looking at Xu Changsheng and the others.
Xu Changsheng's smile was a bit unnatural.
His father and his stepmother's smiles were bright.
The younger brother and younger sister his stepmother gave birth to were looking at him curiously.
"Hey, Xiaodao, look! This bloodless guy is really back, isn't he? Does he still have the nerve to come see you?"
Xu Tonglin's low voice of disdain came from behind Xu Tongdao.
Comrade Xu did not look back, he paused slightly and continued walking that way.
Not long after, he walked near Xu Changsheng's family.
There were still seven or eight meters away, when Xu Changsheng's stepmother spoke with a smile on her face and a clear voice: "Xiaodao, Xiaolu, Yuzhu, I heard that you came here specifically to worship your ancestors today? How filial! Are you ready now?
Why don’t you all go to my house for a cup of tea? Haha, speaking of it, Xiaodao, you arranged such a good job for our parents, and our family hasn’t thanked you properly yet! Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s all go to my house for a cup of tea!”
Xu Changsheng's father then spoke: "Yes! Yes! Xiaodao, you must not be polite. We have prepared tea at home. If you are not in a hurry to go back, then you can have a casual meal at my house. But you must
Go!”
As he said that, Xu Changsheng's father strode over, as if he wanted to drag Comrade Xu and others to their house for tea.
Xu Changsheng, on the other hand... smiled unnaturally and hesitated to speak.
