Return To 1998

Ge Xiaozhu stayed at the polder for a day and a night. Although she could squint at night, she still felt tired and a little depressed.

What did the eldest son Xu Tongdao do at home during the day today? When Xu Tongdao went to the polder to replace her, she had already asked clearly. In the morning, she made shrimp sticks at home, and in the afternoon, she put shrimp sticks in the Xihe River, and sold river shrimp for money... …

The only 17-year-old son was forced to devise ways to make money, which made her feel that she was too useless as a mother, and I was sorry for her son.

She felt a little more resentment towards her missing husband, Xu Weixi, because of this.

The man who didn't take responsibility was relieved when he left, but the three children were tortured by him.

When it was dark, she stepped into the house with heavy steps.

The only electric light in the main room was dimly lit. The second son and daughter seemed to be a little abnormal. They sat silently on both sides of the Eight Immortals Table, facing each other.

There was no expression on his face.

Seeing her come back, her daughter Ge Yuzhu smiled a little and stood up to greet her.

Mom! Are you back? Have you eaten dinner? I left some food for you in the pot. I'll go and warm it up for you?

Ge Xiaozhu looked at her and then at his second son Xu Tonglu who was sitting there motionless. He frowned and asked, What happened to both of you? Did something happen at home? ah!

This……

Ge Yuzhu hesitated to speak, and subconsciously looked at his second brother Xu Tonglu.

Xu Tonglu's expression was calm, but his eyes were complicated. Looking at his mother, he whispered, Big brother scored 594 points this time, and Ge Xiaoyu said that in previous years, this score would definitely be able to enter the county's No. 2 middle school, and this year should be no problem, maybe Even the county No. 1 middle school can go to it.”

His voice was low, but Ge Xiaozhu could still hear it clearly.

You said... your eldest brother scored 594 in the high school entrance examination this time? Surely he will be admitted to the second county high school?

County No. 2 Middle School is not as good as County No. 1 Middle School.

However, the second county middle school is also a key high school in the city. With the teaching quality of their Zhulin Township Middle School, there are only a handful of people who can be admitted to the county second middle school every year. Shangxian No. 2 Middle School will not exceed ten fingers.

One can imagine the difficulty.

You must know that Zhulin Township Middle School has had 5 classes in each grade and nearly 300 students in each grade.

Xu Tonglu nodded silently.

Ge Yuzhu's expression was also a little sad, Well, Mom! Why don't we still think of a way to let eldest brother continue to study? The eldest brother finally got so many points in the test, so he doesn't continue to study... It's a pity, or... or... ...I don't want to study anymore, I'm going out to earn money to study for my eldest brother and second brother? Anyway, I didn't succeed in studying...

594 points... 594 points...

Ge Xiaozhu absently muttered about the score, walked over tiredly, and sat down on the bench that his daughter had just sat on, his expression seemed lonely, helpless, regretful, and distressed.

Xu Tonglu glanced at Ge Yuzhu, who had just said that he would drop out of school and go out to earn money, and said solemnly: Mom! Let me go out to earn money! Yuzhu is still too young, she is only 15 years old, what kind of money can I make out of? Anyway, my eldest brother and I only need It is enough for one person to continue studying, he will be able to go to high school soon, if you want me to study, you will have to provide me with one more year, I will only go to the third year of junior high school in the second half of the year, and I may not be able to be admitted to high school next year, so, I've decided, I'll go out and make money!

Ge Xiaozhu looked at Xu Tonglu with a serious expression, closed his eyes, and suddenly let out a long sigh.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

Hearing Xu Tonglu say this, Ge Yuzhu became anxious, and quickly stepped forward, No way! Second brother, you are talking nonsense! You get a certificate every year, and if you want to get the first place, you can get the first place. How could you not be admitted to high school? Anyway? My school grades are the worst in our family, so let me go out and earn money! I'm not afraid of hardships!

Before she could finish her sentence, Xu Tonglu turned his head to stare at him like an enraged beast.

He shouted: You fart!! Ge Yuzhu, shut up for me! The men in our family are not dead yet, how can it not be your turn to go out and make money!! If you dare to argue with me again, do you believe I will beat you?

Ge Yuzhu was scolded and cried, and the tears fell as soon as she said it. She looked at Xu Tonglu, who was angry and aggrieved, and didn't dare to speak any more.

And the two brothers and sisters quarreled over this matter, making Ge Xiaozhu, who was sitting next to him with his eyes closed, even more painful.

The mouth kept repeating: Sin of a sin... a sin...

...

at the same time.

On the polder, the village.

Xu Tongdao, who had nothing to do, and Xu Changsheng, who was smiling, walked up the empty porch step by step with a flashlight.

Tonight, there was no task of picking up the head ridge, and although it was already night, it was still too early to go to bed. Tongdao Xu and Changsheng Xu were both young and could not sit still in the yard, so they made an appointment to come to this ridge. walk around.

Xu Changsheng, who was raised by his stepmother, had few people in Xujia Village who respected him and had a good relationship with him.

Therefore, in the evening, when he saw Tongdao Xu coming to the polder, he immediately became happy.

He has always followed Xu Tongdao, smiling.

It stands to reason that he is two years older than Tongdao Xu. It should be Tongdao Xu who followed him, but he fell off, and he became Tongdao Xu's little tail.

The two walked on the porch at will, and Tongdao Xu looked at the dark night sky and the dark undulating river surface from time to time, breathing the air with a smell of earth, and his expression was very calm.

Xu Changsheng, who was walking beside him, saw that he had been silent, he couldn't help but looked at him and asked curiously, Xiao Dao, what are you thinking? Which female classmate is it? Haha...

He was in a good mood.

Xu Tongdao smiled slightly when he heard the words.

He couldn't remember a few of those female classmates back then, did he miss female classmates? is it possible?

The thoughts in his mind just now were mixed.

Maybe it's in the dead of night, people are always easy to recall the past!

In his mind just now, he did think of many people and events before his rebirth, but they had nothing to do with female classmates.

Instead, he remembered his marriage before his rebirth, and... the woman who forced him to divorce and forced him to pay 50,000 yuan for the loss of youth.

How could such a woman be missed by him?

At this moment, in this situation, he didn't want to say that to Xu Changsheng. After thinking about it, Xu Tongdao looked at Xu Changsheng and asked, Changsheng, have you thought about the future? Have you ever planned for your future?

Xu Changsheng was stunned, laughed at himself, and shook his head: How dare I think so far! Listen to my father! Although my mother is my stepmother, my father still kisses me, I think I just need to listen to him. Arrange, give all the money to him, he should consider it for my future! Hehe, I'm not too demanding, as long as he will give me a marriage in the future and marry me a daughter-in-law, who will let my mother It's too early to die! It's normal to live almost, hehe, I don't dare to think too much!

Tongdao Xu listened and listened, and the look in his eyes became more sympathetic.

At first glance, Xu Changsheng's words were not wrong. His father was indeed his own father. It stands to reason that as long as he was obedient and turned in the money he earned, his father should arrange for him in the future, at least find a way to marry him a daughter-in-law. .

But Xu Changsheng overlooked one point!

——His father is a strict wife and can't be the master at home. He listens to his stepmother.

And his stepmother has sons and daughters, and only considers her own children, how can he care about Xu Changsheng's life or death?
