Return To 1998

Tongdao Xu answered a bunch of questions from his mother, brother and sister while he was burning the bath water.

Tonight, he jumped into the river to save people. Although he had changed his clothes, the water in the river was turbid and he felt very uncomfortable, so as soon as he got home, he went to the kitchen to boil water and prepare to take a bath.

When Xu Tonglin was scared by a snake and fell into the river, he said it from Xu Tongdao's mouth, which startled Ge Xiaozhu, Xu Tonglu, and Ge Yuzhu.

Especially when he heard that no one dared to go into the water to save people, but Xu Tongdao jumped into the river to save Xu Tonglin, Ge Xiaozhu's face turned pale.

Even though Tongdao Xu was in front of her now, she couldn't help but worry, and kept asking what happened later...

Tongdao Xu didn't intend to scare them, naturally he said the result lightly.

Mom, is your fever gone?

Xu Tongdao remembered this and asked quickly.

Ge Xiaozhu smiled reassuringly, I'm much better, you don't have to worry!

Tongdao Xu was worried, got up and touched his mother's forehead, and then touched his own forehead, his brows were slightly wrinkled, his mother's fever had not subsided.

Did you take your medicine tonight?

Well, eat it! It will definitely be fine tomorrow, you don't have to worry about me! By the way, it's better for Mom to go to the polder tomorrow? Mom doesn't dare to let you go.

No! Mom! Go to bed now! Yuzhu! I have a task for you. Tonight, you will sleep with your mother. Remember to touch your mother's forehead at night. If you find that your mother's body temperature is too high, you must come and notify me immediately. With your second brother! Remember?

In the last sentence, Tongdao Xu was instructing his sister Ge Yuzhu.

Ge Yuzhu was very well-behaved, and nodded quickly.

Ge Xiaozhu frowned, No need! I've taken the medicine, and the fever should be relieved tonight, so let's just say it! I'll go to Shangxu tomorrow. You and your brother and sister are fine at home.

Tongdao Xu shook his head, Mom! Stop arguing with me, don't say that you won't be able to get rid of the fever tonight, even if you can, you will definitely have no strength tomorrow, so leave the matter of Shangwei to me. Come on! I'm different from Xiao Linzi, I'm not as timid as him, and I don't know how to paddle like him, uh, that's it! Yuzhu, please help mom to rest, I'll sleep after taking a shower already.

Hey, okay, big brother! Ge Yuzhu quickly supported her mother's arm and whispered to her mother to go back to the room to rest.

Ge Xiaozhu still wanted to argue, but Tongdao Xu just shook his head.

...

When the mother and sister left, only the brothers Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglu were left in the kitchen.

Xu Tongdao sat at the mouth of the stove and lowered his head to burn the fire. Xu Tonglu sat on the lid of the water tank, his feet were hanging in the air, his brows were furrowed, and he looked at Xu Tongdao silently.

Tongdao Xu glanced at him and said lightly, Why are you staying here if you haven't gone to bed yet? Go to bed now!

Xu Tonglu was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said, Mom said you plan to work part-time to earn money...

After a pause, he added: What if you are admitted to high school? You don't plan to study anymore?

Tongdao Xu lowered his head, took a piece of firewood and put it in the stove, and hummed lightly.

Xu Tonglu frowned even more, suddenly jumped out of the water tank, raised his voice, and said, No! I don't agree! It's fine if you don't get into high school, but if you do, then I'll go to work. Earn money, and I'll pay for you!

Hearing what he said, Tongdao Xu was not excited.

He looked up at Xu Tonglu with a calm expression, his tone was still very flat, I didn't discuss it with you, whether you agree or not can't change my decision, and... I'm your brother! It's not your turn to make money. Unless I, Tongdao Xu, are incompetent and cannot support you with the money I earn, I won't have any opinion on what decision you make at that time!

No! What are you calling me big brother? You are just one year older than me! I don't need you to earn money for me to study, and I don't want to study anymore!

Xu Tonglu categorically opposed,

Excited.

Xu Tongdao squinted and stared at him for a while, then slowly got up, walked over, walked in front of Xu Tonglu, his eyes became sharp, stared closely at Xu Tonglu's eyes, and whispered: I said, I didn't discuss it with you. Xu Tonglu! I warn you, if your next grades drop badly, I'll break your leg! I'm the boss! It's my responsibility to make money, and your responsibility... is to study hard! If you fail the exam next year In high school, I'll break your legs!

Xu Tonglu, who had such sharp eyes, had obviously never seen him before.

Therefore, under the stern gaze of Xu Tongdao at this time, Xu Tonglu couldn't help but take a half step back, but the stubbornness in his bones made him feel ashamed, so his face quickly swelled red, he stuck his neck, and shouted : Don't come here!! Why do you care about me? You are not my dad! Besides...you may not be able to beat me...

He was very angry and shouted loudly.

But he didn't understand the temper of the reborn Xu Tongdao. Before he finished speaking, he saw Xu Tongdao suddenly stretched out his right hand and pinched his neck with five fingers, staring fiercely.

Xu Tonglu hurriedly broke Xu Tongdao's hand with both hands, but he hadn't broken it yet, and Xu Tongdao's left hand was also used, and his hands were firmly pinching Xu Tonglu's neck, no matter how hard Xu Tonglu struggled, he couldn't break it.

He shouted intermittently and with difficulty: You, you let go!! Tongdao Xu! Lao Tzu told you to let go! Don't force Lao Tzu!

The more he shouted, the tighter Xu Tongdao squeezed.

What happened?

Brother? What happened?

Footsteps came from the main room, and the mother and sister asked suspiciously.

In the kitchen, Xu Tongdao pushed his younger brother Xu Tonglu away and pushed Xu Tonglu's legs against the water tank behind him and almost fell.

Don't think I'm joking with you! Xu Tonglu! Remember me, I'll have the final say on this family in the future! I tell you to study hard, and you study hard for me! If you don't obey me, I'll hit you!

After scolding Xu Tonglu in a low voice, Xu Tongdao turned his head and shouted to the main room: Mom! It's okay! You all go to bed quickly! It's really okay!

Mother Ge Xiaozhu and younger sister Ge Yuzhu were still worried. The two came to the back door of the main room and looked into the kitchen.

Tongdao Xu, who had just cleaned up his younger brother, gave them a smile.

As for Xu Tonglu, who had just been cleaned up, because of his good face, he kept his face and head tilted and said nothing.

The mother and sister saw that their brothers were fine, and although they were still suspicious, they did not come to the kitchen.

Then you should go to bed earlier too! Our family is already difficult enough, you two brothers can stop arguing and save your mother some snacks, okay?

Mother Ge Xiaozhu couldn't help admonishing them.

Don't worry! Mom!

Xu Tongdao responded with a smile.

Xu Tonglu glanced at him coldly, pouted, but remained silent.

Mother and sister went back to sleep.

Xu Tonglu looked at Xu Tongdao in anger and fear, gritted his teeth, and turned around and strode away.

As a result, Tongdao Xu was the only one left in the kitchen.

In fact, he didn't want to do something to his brother like he did just now, really.

But he knew very well how rebellious his younger brother was in his bones, especially after his father disappeared, he was completely lawless and would not listen to anyone.

Tongdao Xu is not confident that he can control this worry-free younger brother just by speaking with his own mouth, and he will go to the county to find a job to earn money in a few days at most, and he will definitely not have time to watch Xu Tonglu every day in the future.

Therefore, seeing Xu Tonglu's rebellious appearance just now, he couldn't help but act.

At that time, he thought: Since it doesn't make sense in theory, let's do it! It is better for this kid to be afraid of me in the future than to be afraid of no one and continue to be lawless.
