Chapter 20: Selling Fish and Turtles

Soon after entering the village, Xu Tongdao saw Xu Weizu from a distance, as usual, holding a teacup and a cigarette in his hand, sitting on the small bamboo chair in front of the door listening to the radio.

Who is Xu Weizu?

Xu Weizu is one of the only two teachers in the village, and Xu Weizu is also the principal of Shiba Elementary School. When he was not the principal, Tongdao Xu studied at Shiba Elementary School, and Xu Weizu was his head teacher.

But he always despised Xu Weizu in his heart.

The main reason is not because Xu Weizu is too stupid and likes to put on airs. The thing that Xu Weizu most despises about Xu Weizu is... Xu Weizu is greedy and greedy.

I still remember that when he was studying in Xu Weizu's class, Xu Weizu often sat on the podium during his early self-study, eating big meat buns, or something else. Roubaozi's classmates gulped secretly.

And every time Xu Weizu noticed this scene, he would say to them: What to watch? Give me a good book! The book has its own golden house, the book has its own Yan Ruyu, and the book has its own big meat buns!

Are you saying it's irritating?

Anyway, as far as Xu Tongdao knew, there should be no one in their class who did not despise Xu Weizu.

Shameless!

Not only that, Xu Weizu also has athlete's foot, and his toes are often itchy, and every week when he gives them physical education classes, he will always comfortably move a chair over, lie on it with his fat body comfortably, and then call the class grades. The worst boy goes over and rubs his toes...

Anyway, he is not respected.

However, his teacher position has been imprisoned all the time, and later he was promoted to the principal of Shiba Elementary School. Xu Tongdao thinks there are two reasons.

First of all, it should be because there are too few excellent teachers in Shiba Primary School. There are second-grade primary school culture, teachers who teach first and second grades; there are also teachers who have not graduated from primary school, but teach fifth grade...

In contrast, Xu Weizu, who graduated from a technical secondary school, is actually arrogant.

Secondly... Xu Weizu can be a man, and it is said that he has a good relationship with the leaders above.

Of course, none of these concerns Xu Tongdao. When he saw Xu Weizu sitting in front of the door smoking, drinking tea, and listening to the radio, the first thing that came to his mind was whether the old turtle in his fish basket could be sold to that guy.

He felt hopeful.

At the worst, Xu Weizu should also be interested in the black fish in the fish basket that weighed at least two kilograms.

Anyway, Xu Weizu's family is not short of money, and his mouth is greedy.

So, when his mind moved, Xu Tongdao showed a smile and strode over. Every time he saw Xu Weizu, he subconsciously avoided it.

But now, before his rebirth, he was almost forty years old, and he was not afraid of Xu Weizu for a long time.

As soon as he approached, Xu Weizu's half-squinted eyes opened, and he glanced at the fish basket on Xu Tongdao's waist. Xu Weizu's eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his chin and asked, Xu Tongdao! You are in the fish basket. Are there any fish? Are they big?

As he spoke, he licked his lips.

Tongdao Xu smiled wider, put down the shrimp rake in his hand, and walked over to let Xu Weizu look at the fish basket around his waist.

Mr. Xu, I got an old turtle and a black fish. They are all fresh and live. It's definitely delicious when cooked. Do you want it?

Huh? You're lucky boy! You really got an old turtle, uh... This old turtle is beautiful! The stew must be a big boost, by the way, are you willing to give it to me?

Xu Weizu is not only greedy, but also loves to take advantage of others.

This point, Xu Tongdao is clear.

You are so beautiful! I can't bear to eat it myself, give it to you?

Tongdao Xu chuckled in his heart, but of course he wouldn't say that.

Mr. Xu, you're really joking! My family is running out of food, how dare you take my old turtle for nothing? Haha, with your teacher Xu's character, even if I really give it to you, you definitely won't want it! right?

Xu Weizu looked up at Xu Tongdao in surprise,

He was probably surprised that Tongdao Xu could speak so well.

They'll take the word to him.

It's true that he likes to take advantage, but he also has a good face.

So, he nodded, hehe smiled and said: You still know me! I used to be your teacher, and I have heard about the current situation of your family. Hehe, of course I won't take advantage of one of your children, so that's it. You leave me that black fish and the old turtle, and I'll give you one hundred and fifty yuan, do you like it?

Fine! What's wrong with this? After all, you were my teacher before!

Xu Tongdao said beautiful words, and quickly took off the fish basket around his waist, and said, Mr. Xu, go and get something to pack, it doesn't matter that the black fish can't escape, but the old turtle has long feet...

well!

Xu Weizu promised repeatedly, but his body remained motionless, but he turned back and shouted to the family, Xiaomei! Xiaomei! Bring a bucket, hurry up!!

Xiaomei is his wife.

Because of the agricultural household registration, he farms at home, and is used by Xu Weizu as a servant on weekdays.

Hey, here we come!

There was an answer from behind the house, and the voice was quite pleasant.

Not long after, I didn't see the bridge, I saw a woman who still had a charm and came out with a red plastic bucket. When she saw Tongdao Xu, she gave him a smile, It's Xiaodao! How did you do in the exam this year? Are you up?

She originally had a small face with melon seeds, but following Xu Weizu, a greedy mouth, she has become plump over the years. At least in this Xujia Village, among women of the same age, no one is better-looking than her, although plump , but not bloated, and her temperament is much stronger than other women in the village.

Dressed up, but also closer to the style of the city people.

For example, in front of her, she was wearing a sleeveless short dress, which showed her good figure.

It's just that the skin is not too white because of the usual farming.

Seeing her, the first thing that flashed in Xu Tongdao's mind was her niece.

Tongdao Xu remembered that her niece would come to her house for a period of time every year. She was somewhat similar to her in appearance, but more beautiful.

In other words, everyone has a love for beauty, and he, Xu Tongdao, had fondly liked it before.

Of course, that was the past.

Right now, he has long lost his mind.

At the moment, while answering her question, he quickly caught the old turtle and the big black fish from the fish basket and put them into the bucket she brought.

After he was done with this, Xu Weizu asked him to go into the house with his wife to get the money.

When they got the money, Xu Tongdao politely said goodbye to them, and went home with the fish basket in one hand and the shrimp rake in the other.

He earned another 150, which made him feel more at ease. The price of things is not expensive these days, and the tuition for junior high school is not expensive. With this 150, plus the money he asked for back yesterday, his family should be able to live for the time being. pass.

At least his brother and sister's tuition fees for the next semester must be no problem.
