Return To 1998

Near noon, Xu Tongdao borrowed a vise and a hammer from the landlord, Uncle Li, and tapped the old iron sheets he picked up from the junkyard in the yard. Xu Tonglin cooked noodles in a coal stove in the house.

Xu Tongdao's pounding here attracted the little boy he had seen yesterday.

The little boy was still holding the hoop in his hand, and curiously leaned over to look at it for a while, and couldn't help but ask, Big brother, what are you doing?

you guess!

Tongdao Xu teased him with a smile, and the work in his hands did not stop.

Little boy: Are you making a plane?

Tongdao Xu chuckled, How did you guess?

The little boy's eyes lit up, Are you really making a plane? How do you do it? Can you teach me?

God's will! Come here!!

The little boy's mother shouted again like yesterday, Tongdao Xu turned to look at her, noticed that she looked at him a little warily, and frowned slightly.

Tongdao Xu was not angry either. His mother wanted to protect her child. He understood.

He just wondered, did he really not look like a good person? Why does this woman call the child back every time she sees her child coming to play in front of him?

The little boy walked away with a bitter face.

When the little boy returned to the woman, Tongdao Xu faintly heard the woman's low warning: God's will! How did Mom tell you yesterday? I told you not to play with these messy people, why are you just disobedient? Is it blood? The skin is swollen, and you want me to loosen it for you?

have to!

It turns out that in her eyes, my fellow Xu is a mess...

Tongdao Xu laughed at himself, lowered his head and continued to make the oven.

Not long after, Xu Tonglin came out of the house, Xiao Dao, the noodles are cooked, come and eat! It won't taste good after a while.

Hey!

Tongdao Xu responded, got up and walked to the faucet to wash his hands, then went back to the house to get a bowl of noodles, and the two ate a bowl of Yangchun noodles with a clear soup and little water with spicy sauce, and there was still some left in the pot.

Xu Tongdao took another clean bowl and filled it. Xu Tonglin, who was about to wash the dishes, saw it and asked with a frown, Xiaodao, are you going to send it to that person again?

Since you have saved people, don't give up halfway. Anyway, it's just a little boiled noodles. You don't care about the worthless things! I'll send them over.

Tongdao Xu said, holding the freshly filled noodles, walked out of the room, and walked towards the easternmost room.

Dong dong!

When he walked outside, he knocked on the door, but no one in the room answered. Xu Tongdao frowned slightly and knocked again, but there was still no one in the room.

So, he pushed the door directly in, and as soon as the door opened, he saw that the man in black was still lying on the bed, but his eyes were closed, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his face was pale, as if he was fast asleep.

Tongdao Xu closed the door and walked over quickly.

Huh? Huh?

When he walked to the bed, he shouted a few times, and even reached out and pushed the man on the bed, and the other party opened his eyes in a daze.

It can be seen that this person is weaker than last night, and his eyes are full of weakness.

Seeing Tongdao Xu, the man forced a smile and said weakly, Little brother, are you here?

Seeing that he was in such a bad state, Tongdao Xu frowned, reached out and touched the other's forehead, it was very hot, it was a fever...

Your wound should be inflamed. You are having a high fever. Otherwise, should I take you to the hospital?

Before Tongdao finished speaking, the man in black on the bed reluctantly shook his head with a smile, No! No! I can't go to the hospital, I have anti-inflammatory and antipyretic medicines in my medicine cabinet... Please give me some... Thank you... …Ha ha.

He was still in the mood to laugh.

Tongdao Xu stared at him for a few seconds, nodded, and got up to help him find medicine.

There was no boiling water in this room, so Tongdao Xu simply fed him medicine with noodle soup.

When feeding the medicine, I asked casually, By the way, do you have any relatives or friends nearby? Would you like me to inform them to take care of you for a few days? After all, I have my own affairs every day, so I'm afraid I can't take care of you well.

The man in black smiled wryly and shook his head, No, no! You are busy with you, don't worry about me, just send me something to eat every day, and when I get better, I will definitely repay you...

Tongdao Xu smiled lightly, nodded slightly, and asked, By the way, what's your name?

The man who swallowed the medicine also smiled and said weakly, Everyone calls me Qingzi, so you should call me that too!

After a pause, he also asked casually, By the way, what's your name, little brother?

Tongdao Xu took his chopsticks and started feeding him noodles.

If the man can't be saved, there's no point in telling him his name.

If he is rescued, if this person's enemy is too powerful, then telling him his name now will only cause trouble for himself.

Therefore, Xu Tongdao did not mention his name while his thoughts were turning.

Although he knew that if there was really trouble, it would be useless to hide his name, but he subconsciously kept a hand.

Qing Ziruo gave him a meaningful look, smiled weakly, and did not ask any further questions.

...

In the evening, Tongdao Xu went to give Qingzi another bowl of Yangchun noodles, and tried the temperature of Qingzi's forehead. He felt that the other party's body temperature was not as high as noon, but he was still in a fever.

Tongdao Xu gave Qingzi anti-inflammatory drugs and antipyretics again.

After finishing the event, he and Xu Tonglin moved all the things to set up the stall on the tricycle. The money on him was almost exhausted. If he couldn't make any money after going out to set up the stall in the past two days, I'm afraid he and Xu Tonglin would soon be able to meet up. Can't even eat.

Moreover, it is now the end of July in the solar calendar, the temperature is high, and meat such as mutton that cannot be sold will be smelly the next day.

Therefore, it is impossible to say that he has no pressure in his heart.

But the pressure is the pressure, and his expression is still very calm.

There is a kind of calmness that a dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the two pushed the broken tricycle full of things through the alley, across the road, and came to the roadside by the river.

There are already more than a dozen stalls in this area.

Including the three barbecue stalls that Xu Tongdao and the others specially came to investigate last night.

And the people who set up the stalls also looked sideways when they saw the two and a half young men pushing the broken tricycles to set up the stall here.

There were also people looking at them, whispering and laughing.

Without hearing what they said, Tongdao Xu could also guess that these people must be watching their jokes.

Indeed, he and Xu Tonglin's two childish faces, no matter how they look, don't look like they can do business.

Moreover, the oven they brought in the car... It does look a little out of place. No matter how you look at it, it looks like two young people came here to join in the fun.

Xu Tonglin's face was already red from embarrassment, but Xu Tongdao was very calm, pushed the car to a place where no one was around, and beckoned Xu Tonglin to move things down from the car.

Oven, folding table, plastic stools, various ingredients, and two cases of beer.

And their nearest BBQ stall...the one with the bald head.

When the bald head saw that Xu Tongdao's oven didn't even have a shelf and was placed directly on the road, the bald head couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
