Return To 1998

This farce lasted for about half an hour, and Bai Lanlan, who didn't make a big splash in the end, left with her husband still scolding herself.

The villagers who were watching the excitement saw that Xu Tongdao's whole family was not very good-looking, some people left immediately, some people comforted them, and they also dispersed.

In the end, only the Xu Tongdao family and Xu Tonglin were left.

Xiaodao, won't the mutton be roasted tonight?

Xu Tonglin glanced at the mutton skewer that Xu Tongdao had thrown on the ground before, sighed, and asked.

Ge Xiaozhu also took a look there and whispered, Put everything away! Don't bake it.

Tongdao Xu shook his head, No! Mom, if you're tired, go back home and rest first! The mutton won't be roasted tonight, it might be stinky tomorrow, so go and rest first!

After finishing speaking, Xu Tongdao instructed his sister who was supporting her mother: Yuzhu, help your mother to rest! Go quickly!

Oh, good, good, big brother!

Ge Yuzhu was obedient as always, and immediately persuaded her in a low voice, helping her sighing mother into the room.

Behind the house, only Xu Tongdao, Xu Tonglin and Xu Tonglu were left.

Xu Tongdao silently sat back to his original position, reached out and grabbed two mutton skewers and slowly roasted them on the fire. After roasting for a while, he suddenly ordered, Xiaolu, add some charcoal to the stove!

Xu Tonglu glanced at him and said nothing. He squatted down and picked up a few pieces of charcoal and threw them in the small mud stove.

Seeing this, Xu Tonglin also squatted to the side.

The red fire reflected on the three young faces, illuminating the different expressions on the three faces.

Xu Tonglin seemed to be in a daze; Xu Tonglu had a gloomy expression and gloomy eyes; Xu Tongdao was calm, but his brows were slightly condensed.

My cousin brought her husband to his house to make a fuss, saying that it didn't affect Xu Tongdao's mood at all, it was absolutely impossible.

He was also unhappy, but he was more helpless about this situation.

His father eloped with his aunt, and it was already a fact. No matter what he did or did, he couldn't change it.

For a while, the three people by the fire were silent, and no one was interested in speaking.

Tongdao Xu flipped the mutton skewers in his hands from time to time. The mutton pieces on the bamboo skewers shrank a little under the grilling of the fire, and a little bit of mutton oil overflowed like drops of water, and there was a faint smell of meat.

Until there was a sound of footsteps in the main room of his house, and Xu Changsheng's voice: Xiaodao? Xiaodao, are you at home?

Hearing the sound, Xu Tongdao turned his head slightly, and Xu Tonglin also raised his head, only Xu Tonglu remained motionless.

I heard that your cousin came to your house to fight? Are you okay?

Xu Changsheng stepped out of the back door quickly, and came to Xu Tongdao while asking.

Tongdao Xu smiled lightly, It's okay! Why are you free to come here? Your mother didn't arrange anything for you tonight?

Seeing that Xu Tonglin and Xu Tonglu were both squatting by the fire, Xu Changsheng simply squatted beside him, and laughed, I've washed the pots and pans, I just heard that something happened to your house, so I came here to take a look.

Thanks!

Tongdao Xu smiled lightly, Since you're here, wait a while! The mutton in my hand will be roasted in a while, you can eat it while it's hot.

Xu Changsheng looked at the skewer in his hand and nodded.

At this time, Xu Tonglin suddenly asked: Hey! Changsheng, what did you think about what Xiaodao told us yesterday?

Hearing this, Tongdao Xu glanced at Xu Changsheng.

His younger brother Xu Tonglu also came over.

The smile on Xu Changsheng's face was stagnant, he lowered his head slightly, and smiled bitterly: Xiaodao, I'm sorry! I'm afraid I can't go with you, I, I dare not tell my parents about this, so I'm sorry. Ah! Don't blame me.

Xu Tongdao's expression did not change, he had expected this result.

When Xu Changsheng hesitated yesterday, he expected it.

With a faint smile, he was not in the mood to say anything else at this time, Okay! It's okay, this is a voluntary matter. Since you don't want to go, of course I can't force it, I can understand it, don't take it to heart.

Xu Tonglu pouted and looked away.

Xu Tonglin sighed in disappointment.

Xu Changsheng smirked and apologized again, I'm sorry, Xiaodao!

Xu Tongdao shook his head slightly and said nothing.

Xu Changsheng looked at the roast mutton in Tongdao Xu's hand and swallowed, but he was probably embarrassed to stay and eat mutton, he hesitated and got up, saying: Then, I'll go back first! My mother may call at any time. I, I can't stay here for long, let's go!

With that said, he lifted his foot and left.

Tongdao Xu sat there and didn't move. Just now Xu Changsheng said that he couldn't go with him, but he was unmoved. Now that Xu Changsheng left, he was also unmoved.

Not in the mood to keep.

However, Xu Changsheng's departure made him more determined to do the skewer business.

Even if no one wants to go with him, he still has to do this business.

The speed of working and earning money is too slow! No future in sight.

Xu Tonglin looked at Xu Changsheng and left like that. For a while, Xu Tonglin's expression became cloudy and uncertain. He frowned and looked at Xu Tongdao, whose expression was still calm, Xu Tonglin suddenly said: Xiaodao! I have decided, I will follow you. Do it! I'll accompany you to go there! Okay?

Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglu were surprised.

Both brothers looked at Xu Tonglin with a firm expression.

Tongdao Xu was a little puzzled, Didn't your parents agree?

Xu Tonglin: It doesn't matter! Xiaodao, I'm serious! You believe me, even if my parents always disagree, I promise to go with you! Anyway, they are my son, so I don't believe they will get angry again. , how can you not recognize my son!

Having said this, he grinned, Hey, but then again, I still have to try my best to convince them, don't you think? By the way, these skewers of mutton in your hands are roasted, give them to me! I Take it back and give it to my mother, and try to get her first tonight!

Tongdao Xu looked at the smile on his face, stared blankly for a few seconds, and smiled slightly, Okay!

...

Not long after, Xu Tonglin flew home with a few skewers of lamb that had just been grilled.

By the fire, only the brothers Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglu were left.

Tongdao Xu put on two new mutton skewers and grilled them on the fire.

Xu Tonglu squatted beside him, watching quietly.

...

The stars moved, the sun rose and the sun went down, and half a month passed. During this period, Tongdao Xu went to the Xihe every day to put shrimp sticks, and did two more experiments on kebabs.

At Xu Tonglin's place, he never persuaded his mother to allow him to go to the county town with Xu Tongdao to set up a stall, but a few days ago, he succeeded in getting his father's ideological work done.

This morning, it was cloudy and the breeze was gentle. By the West River, Tongdao Xu said goodbye to his mother, brother, and sister. With simple luggage and a few hundred dollars, he and Xu Tonglin boarded the Wupeng boat to the county seat.

Both of them were standing on the shore at this time, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin had already boarded the boat, and Ge Xiaozhu and Xu Tonglin's parents kept telling them to pay attention to safety.

As the boat sailed away from the shore and went farther and farther, Tongdao Xu turned around and saw his sister Ge Yuzhu standing on the shore and waving her arms vigorously.

That's just a little black arm...
