Return To 1998

on the hill.

Tongdao Xu and the others burned some paper money in front of each ancestral tomb.

It took some time for the paper money to be completely burned, so he took his younger brother and the others to pluck up the miscellaneous trees and withered grass on those ancestral graves.

More than an hour later, after every pile of paper money was burned, he took his younger brother and the others down the mountain.

On the way down the mountain, Tongdao Xu suddenly remembered that the night he had just returned, Ge Xiaoyu texted him and told him that she had heard from Tonglin Xu that Tongdao Xu came home that day.

Suddenly thinking of this, Tongdao Xu casually asked Xu Tonglin who was following him, Hey, by the way, Lin Zi, has Ge Xiaoyu been looking for you for the past few days since you came back? Have you asked me about me?

What he really wants to say is—in the future, if Ge Xiaoyu asks Xu Tonglin about his Xu Tonglin again, let Xu Tonglin try to be as vague as possible, and don't tell Ge Xiaoyu everything.

He is not very interested in Ge Xiaoyu now.

but……

Xu Tonglin shook his head, No! It's not that she came to me, it's that my dad owes her dad a salary that hasn't been paid yet, just when I came back, my dad also received the project money from my dad's side, so he asked me to give it to Ge Xiao. Yu's family sent her father's wages, and then, when Ge Xiaoyu saw me, he casually asked when you came back, what's the matter? Did she find you?

At the end, Xu Tonglin curiously paid attention to Xu Tongdao's expression.

The fire of gossip was burning in his heart.

Others may not know it, but he, Xu Tonglin, had a good relationship with Xu Tongdao since he was a child, and Xu Tongdao used to have a crush on Ge Xiaoyu, but he had already seen it.

Now, Ge Xiaoyu is studying at university, and Tongdao Xu has earned at least tens of millions in business. Will Tongdao Xu want to pick up flowers at night? Take Ge Xiaoyu while he is rich now?

Xu Tonglin was really curious.

However, he didn't know what he just explained casually, but Xu Tongdao was stunned, and even stopped walking down the mountain.

Looking back at Xu Tonglin with a frown, Xu Tong said: What? Ge Xiaoyu's father? Your father owes her father wages? Project payment? What project payment? Before her father died, what project did you do with your father?

Xu Tongdao was surprised at this time.

He... seems to have figured out why Ge Xiaoyu's father Ge Zhiping's life is completely different from the fate of the original time and space.

Xu Tonglin was a little stunned, not knowing why Xu Tongdao reacted so much to this.

He blinked dumbfoundedly, and said: Uh, yes! My dad and his partner have outsourced several small projects in the past two years, all of which are digging soil for other people's construction sites, and it's all dirty work. , The tiring work, after wrapping it up, I went back to the village to find someone to do it. When Ge Xiaoyu's father was not busy in the past two years, he often went out to do things with my father.

However, the project payment is generally not settled until the end of the year. Therefore, although her father has been dead for some time, part of her father's wages will not be sent to her family until the end of this year when my father has paid the project payment. , what, what happened to the trail?

What's wrong?

Xu Tongdao was a little dazed at this time.

He remembered that Xu Tonglin's father in the original time and space had never contracted any projects outside. The original time and space... Xu Tonglin drowned in the flood season in 1998. Since then, Xu Weiguo (Xu Tonglin's father), who lost his only son in middle age, was completely devastated. decadent.

I lost interest in going out to make money, and I often drink at home.

The temper has also become more and more irritable and eccentric.

He never went out to contract any projects at all, and Ge Xiaoyu's father, Ge Zhiping, was even less likely to work under Xu Weiguo.

so……

Thinking of this, Xu Tongdao looked at the chubby Xu Tonglin with complicated eyes, and a voice in his heart said: Is this the butterfly effect?

What a surprise!

In 1998, Tongdao Xu, who had just been reborn, rescued Tonglin Xu, who should have drowned in the river in the original time and space. As a result... not only did he completely change his father Xu Weiguo's mental state and life trajectory, but he also brought old Ge Xiaoyu along with him. Dad's life is lost.

Such an unpredictable butterfly effect... made Xu Tongdao feel heavy.

Because he doesn't know how many people will be affected by a similar butterfly effect.

The most important thing is that he doesn't even know where to start with prevention.

Big brother? Big brother?

Xiaodao, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking?

Seeing Xu Tongdao in a trance and looking at Xu Tonglin with complicated eyes, Ge Yuzhu couldn't help but stepped forward and waved in front of Xu Tongdao, and shouted twice.

Xu Tonglin couldn't help but ask again.

Oh, I'm fine, let's continue down the mountain!

Xu Tongdao came back to his senses, forced a smile, turned around and continued down the mountain.

No one knew what was on his mind at this time.

He saved Xu Tonglin, but because of this, he indirectly changed the fate of Ge Xiaoyu's father, allowing Ge Zhiping, who was healthy and long-lived in the original time and space, to suffer from stomach cancer and die early...

What Xu Tongdao thought at this time was - is this a coincidence? Or necessarily?

If it's just by chance, that's better.

If it is inevitable... Does that mean that after he is reborn, as long as he saves a person who should have died, it will lead to the death of another person who would not have died early?

It's like he saved Xu Tonglin, but a few years later, Ge Zhiping, who should have been alive, died?

This is an unthinkable question.

Because it is very scary to think about.

Thinking of these things, Xu Tongdao seemed very silent.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, he looked up and suddenly saw a family standing not far away - Xu Changsheng's family.

Xu Changsheng, Xu Changsheng's father, stepmother, younger brother, and younger sister were all standing at a three-way intersection in front of them at this time, and the eyes of the whole family were looking at Xu Tongdao and their side.

Xu Changsheng's smile was a little unnatural.

The smiles of his father and his stepmother were bright.

The younger brother and younger sister that his stepmother gave birth to him are looking at this curiously at this time.

Oh, Xiaodao, look! Is this bloodless guy really back? Does he still have the face to see you?

Behind Xu Tongdao came Xu Tonglin's low, disdainful voice.

Tongdao Xu didn't look back, but after a slight pause in his footsteps, he continued to walk there.

Not long after, he came to Xu Changsheng's family.

There were still seven or eight meters away, and Xu Changsheng's stepmother spoke with a smile on her face and a clear voice: Xiaodao, Xiaolu, Yuzhu, I heard that you came back to worship your ancestors today? You are really filial! Are you ready to sacrifice now? Let’s all go to my house for a cup of tea? Haha, speaking of which, Xiaodao, you have arranged such a good job for our parents’ life, and our family has not thanked you well! Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s all go to my house for a cup of tea!”

Xu Changsheng's father followed: Yes! Yes! Xiaodao, please don't be polite, tea is ready in our house, if you are not in a hurry to go back, then you can have a light meal at my house by the way, but you must go!

After saying that, Xu Changsheng's father strode forward, as if to force Tongdao Xu and the others to their house to drink tea.

On the other hand, Xu Changsheng... smiled unnaturally, and hesitated.
