Return To 1998

At the same time, the county seat.

In front of the oven, Tongdao Xu was still roasting the skewers in his hands calmly. The aroma was overflowing. The dozen or so tables behind him were full of diners again, making it very lively.

Across the road, a six- or seven-year-old boy ran over excitedly, handed him two yuan, and said excitedly, Boss, boss! I bought two yuan mutton skewers, can you hurry up and give it to me?

Tongdao Xu looked up at the boy and recognized that the boy was the son of the couple in the tailor shop. He had set up a stall here for more than a month. Although he usually did not deal much with the shopkeepers nearby, some common people were more or less the same. Some impression.

Oh, good! I'll give it to you!

Tongdao Xu took the money with a smile, and then counted some of the roasted mutton skewers in his hand to the little guy in front of him.

thank you boss!

The little boy grinned so much that he showed a gap in his front teeth. The boy was recently changing his teeth.

No thanks! Be careful with cars when crossing the road!

Xu Tongdao reminded with a smile.

The little boy agreed, and happily ran across the road.

Xu Tongdao looked back when he saw him crossing the road.

Anyone who sees this scene will think that this young man is nice and caring.

but……

When the news of Xu Hengbing's broken leg last night spread in Xujia Village early the next morning, many people were surprised, but no one thought that Xu Tongdao was caring.

Hey! You said, Xiao Bing's legs were really interrupted by that kid from Xiaodao?

I heard that it was beaten by a man wearing a hat at night. He knocked down the soldier in two strokes, and then grabbed a stool and broke his right leg. Tsk tsk, the attack was too cruel! Very cruel... …”

Yes, yes, I heard Jinshan say it too! Jinshan and Xiaobing gambled money in Baiwan last night. I saw it with my own eyes. Jinshan said it wasn't the kid Xiaodao who beat people!

Oh, it wasn't Xiaodao's hand, couldn't it be the person he found to fight?

Hey, I remember that day Xiaodao shot to interrupt Xiaobing's hand. If this is the person he was looking for, why, how did he hit the leg?

Hehe, it's not easy? I guess! He originally wanted to break Xiao Bing's hand, but who made Xiao Bing run away that day! It probably made him even more angry, so he just asked someone to break his leg. …”

...

In the early morning, Ge Yuzhu carried a basin of laundry and approached the small river flowing through the middle of the village. When she was about to do laundry, she overheard several women of different ages washing clothes by the river, saying something to me. In one sentence, they chatted with great interest. In the words, they talked about Xiao Bing and her eldest brother Xiao Dao.

For a while, the women who were doing laundry with their backs to her did not see her.

Ge Yuzhu's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously stood under a willow tree, hiding behind the tree, listening to what the women were talking about.

The more she listened, the tighter her brows became.

After a while, she turned around and hurried home with a complicated expression.

Mother Ge Xiaozhu was holding a gourd scoop in her hand. There was some rice in the scoop. She was grabbing one by one and spilling it on the ground to feed the chickens.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, she looked up subconsciously, and saw that her daughter who had just brought her clothes to the washing ran back out of breath, Ge Xiaozhu stopped feeding her hands, and asked with a frown, Yuzhu, why did you come back so soon? Already? Forgot to bring a hammer?

These days, people in the countryside have to beat their clothes with a hammer.

Beat the dirty water out of the clothes.

No! Not Mom, I just went to the river, do you know what I heard?

Ge Yuzhu stood still, panting, and said eagerly.

Before the frowning Ge Xiaozhu asked, Ge Yuzhu revealed the answer, Mom! I heard Yuya Mom and the others say...Xiao Bing... Xu Hengbing's leg was broken last night.

Yuya Mom, they suspect that my eldest brother found someone to beat him, Mom! You say this can't be true, right? What if this is true? Big, big brother, he won't have an accident, right?

What? Are you telling the truth? Ge Xiaozhu's expression changed, and he panicked for a while.

At this time, Xu Tonglu was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals in the main room having breakfast. He also heard what his sister Ge Yuzhu had just said at the door.

His expression was also surprised.

After a moment of silence, he put down his chopsticks, got up and walked towards the door.

As he walked, he asked, Yuzhu! Did anyone see that the elder brother shot him?

Ge Yuzhu frowned and recalled, shook her head, and said, No! No! Second brother, I just heard that the person who broke Xu Hengbing's leg last night was not our eldest brother! By the way, I also heard them say Xu Hengbing last night. When his leg was broken, he and Xu Jinshan happened to be gambling together, Xu Jinshan said that it wasn't our eldest brother who beat him, but just now, Yuya Mom and many others suspected that our eldest brother asked someone to fight...

This...this...this can't be true, right? Xiaodao shouldn't be so ruthless...but, if he hadn't found someone to beat him, Xu Hengbing's leg would have been broken at this time...it's too coincidental... Ge Xiaozhu was so anxious that he was no longer in the mood to feed the chickens.

Compared with her panic and Ge Yuzhu's unease, Xu Tonglu, who was only 16 years old, was much calmer. At this time, he just walked to the gate.

After stopping, he frowned for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said to his mother and sister: Mom! Yuzhu! Don't panic! Since someone saw that it wasn't our eldest brother's hand, it doesn't matter whether the eldest brother asked someone to do it or not, We can't admit it! In short, no matter who asks you, you must deny it! Absolutely can't admit it! Do you understand?

This……

Ge Xiaozhu rolled his eyes and nodded quickly, That's right! Absolutely can't admit it! Absolutely can't admit it!

After saying that, she also calmed down a little, looked at her daughter Ge Yuzhu, and said in a low voice: Yuzhu! Absolutely can't admit it! Do you remember?

Ge Yuzhu nodded vigorously.

Xu Tonglu raised his chin slightly and looked in the direction of Xu Hengbing's house, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes seemed to relieve his hatred.

Ge Xiaozhu suddenly looked at him and urged, Hey! Xiaolu, don't you still want to go to school? Come and eat your meal!

Immediately, he looked at his daughter, and your Yuzhu, hurry up and wash your clothes. Later, you will take your second brother to school by bike! Hurry up!

Ai ai!

Ge Yuzhu hurriedly went to the river again.

Xu Tonglu also hummed and went back to the Eight Immortals Table.

Although he has broken an arm, he can still go to school to attend classes, but he can't do his homework recently.

...

the same morning.

Xu Tongdao, Xu Tonglin and Xi Dongyang went to the vegetable market together to buy vegetables. When entering the vegetable market, Xu Tongdao saw Zheng Qing in a breakfast shop on the left, sitting there drinking porridge and eating steamed buns in black clothes and black trousers. .

When he saw Zheng Qing, Zheng Qing also saw him.

Tongdao Xu did not walk over to say hello, nor did Zheng Qing come to say hello, but just gave Tongdao Xu a smile and quietly compared him with a scissors hand.

When Xu Tongdao saw it, he returned with a smile.

The expressions of the two of them are the same as Lao Yinbi, very calm.
