Comrade Xu, his wife and children came down from upstairs. As soon as they got out of the elevator, Zheng Meng, who was sitting on the sofa to rest, got up and said: "Boss, several villagers came this afternoon. One of them said he wanted to see you. I said you
I was taking a nap, so I sent him away temporarily. He said he would come back in the evening."
Comrade Xu was not surprised.
There are many people in the village currently working in his companies to make money, such as at Ximen Yipin Food Co., Ltd., Ximen Real Estate, etc.
Since his family came back to celebrate the New Year this year, he expected that many people would come to visit him.
"What did he say his name was?"
Comrade Xu asked casually.
Zheng Meng: "Well, he said it, he said his name is Xu Hengbing."
Comrade Xu paused in his steps and looked at Zheng Meng with a look of surprise, "Xu Hengbing?"
Zheng Meng: "Yes!"
Of course, Xu Tongdao still remembered Xu Hengbing. He had a fight with Xu Hengbing soon after he was reborn. Later, there was another conflict. His younger brother Xu Tonglu's arm was broken by Xu Hengbing. Later, Zheng Qing broke one of Xu Hengbing's legs.
In Xujiacun, Xu Hengbing's grudges with his family should be the deepest.
That is to say, Comrade Xu was unwilling to break the law and discipline. If he had been a ruthless one, Xu Hengbing might have disappeared from the world after so many years.
Tongdao Xu smiled lightly, walked to the sofa and sat down, "Okay, I understand. If he comes again later, you can bring him to see me."
"Okay, boss!"
Zheng Meng said and exited the living room.
Wei Chunlan let her son Xu Le play in the living room. She walked to Tongdao Xu and sat down. While making tea on the coffee table in front of her, she curiously asked: "Who is Xu Hengbing?"
Tongdao Xu's expression was calm and his tone was casual, "He is a second-rate guy in the village. He has fought with me before. He is not a good person."
Wei Chunlan was surprised, "Did I fight with you? Did you also fight in the village?"
How fresh!
Back in time, I had done a lot of fights in the village.
Comrade Xu smiled and did not answer.
…
Half an hour after Comrade Xu went downstairs, Xu Hengbing came to visit again.
He was holding a big herring in his hand.
In rural areas, there are not many precious aquatic products. Herring is considered the most expensive local fish.
A large herring is often worth two to three hundred yuan.
Xu Hengbing carried the big herring in a snakeskin bag. As he entered the door, the big herring in the bag twisted a few times.
Apparently still alive.
After walking into the courtyard gate, Xu Hengbing carefully looked at the scene in the courtyard while carrying a snakeskin bag and followed step by step behind the tall Zheng Meng.
Seeing Ge Xiaozhu at the door of the kitchen, he quickly stepped forward and handed over the snakeskin bag in his hand, and said with a shy smile: "Mom Xiaodao! I specially gave this fish to your family for the New Year, please accept it! I
I’ll put it on the ground for you! It’s still alive! Eat it as soon as possible, it’s delicious!”
Ge Xiaozhu was shocked when she saw Xu Hengbing, and saw Xu Hengbing giving away the fish with a smile on his face. Xu Hengbing placed the snakeskin bag on the ground in front of her, and the mouth of the bag opened automatically. The big herring in the bag twisted around and fell from the sky.
A piece of fish tail slipped out of the bag, and the fish tail looked big.
Ge Xiaozhu subconsciously declined.
But Xu Hengbing insisted on sending him off and urged Zheng Meng who was leading the way to take him into the house quickly.
In the living room.
Tongdao Xu heard Xu Hengbing's voice coming from the yard, and heard that Xu Hengbing seemed to have brought a big herring. Tongdao Xu sat still, but looked a little surprised.
Giving gifts?
What does Xu Hengbing want to do?
Submit? Beg for mercy?
Xu Tongdao was thoughtful.
A moment later, Zheng Meng and Xu Hengbing appeared in front of Comrade Xu and Wei Chunlan.
"Boss, he is the one who wants to see you!"
After Zheng Meng finished speaking, Comrade Xu nodded slightly, and Zheng Meng stepped aside.
Comrade Xu looked at Xu Hengbing, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He hadn't seen him for many years, and there was a huge contrast in Xu Hengbing's image from before.
In the past, Xu Hengbing looked arrogant and gave people the impression that as long as you passed by him, he might cause trouble at any time. He was so arrogant.
But at this moment, Xu Hengbing, who was standing in front of Comrade Xu... had gone through a lot of changes. He had a simple haircut, and was wearing a pair of jeans that had been washed white, and a camouflage jacket that rural people like to wear when doing rough work.
The skin of the hands exposed outside the sleeves was rough and dark red from the cold.
His face was also full of weathered color.
"Xiao, Xiaodao, you, you are going home for the New Year. I, I gave you one of my home-raised green bastards. You can try it later. If you like it, I will give you another one later! Hey, hey hey
.”
Xu Hengbing said cautiously and with a smile.
A pair of rough, big hands grasped and opened at the side of his trouser legs, showing that he was very uneasy inside.
Time is really a butcher's knife.
In the past ten years, Xu Hengbing has really changed a lot.
Comrade Xu felt it.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "You raised it yourself? Did you contract the fish pond?"
As for the "green bastard" Xu Hengbing mentioned just now, Comrade Xu knew clearly that it was their name for "green fish".
"Well, hey! Yes, I contracted two fish ponds at the end of the village. I want to earn more for my son's education."
Xu Hengbing answered nervously.
Comrade Xu was even more surprised, "You have a son?"
A happy smile appeared on Xu Hengbing's face, and he nodded repeatedly, "Well, yes! I gave birth to one, hehe."
Comrade Xu somewhat understood why Xu Hengbing had such a big change.
In his impression, in places like rural areas, many young people are used to being wild and do not study well when they are studying. They get into fights and do whatever is exciting.
Because of the environment in which they grew up and the liberal educational concepts of their parents, every village has a small group of "second-rate children".
The most thorough way for rural parents to reform these "second-rate children" is to find them a wife and give birth to one or two children as soon as possible.
Let them live their own lives and raise their children.
This approach often yields miraculous results.
Probably for this reason, the older generation of rural people, children, and teenagers are often wild-tempered, but the middle-aged and elderly people who have started a family and started a career are generally hard-working, simple, and diligent in their work, comparable to the hard work of old scalpers.
It’s not that one generation is inferior to the other.
It's about unmarried rural youth who haven't been thoroughly taught how to behave in life.
Now it seems that Xu Hengbing has become honest because he got married and had children.
That's a good thing.
In fact, more than ten years later, Xu Tongdao no longer cared about the conflict with Xu Hengbing. The grievances that he thought were irreconcilable at first had long been taken lightly as his personal wealth and status continued to increase.
Comrade Xu, who felt a little emotional, nodded and finally gave Xu Hengbing his first smile after entering the door, "Okay! Not bad! Your son should be well educated and try to let him study as much as possible. If your family has any difficulties in life in the future, you can
Find me."
Having said this, Comrade Xu raised his chin to Zheng Meng, "Give him my business card!"
