Return To 1998

During the few days of rest at home, Xu Tongdao did not actually rest.

Early the next morning, he took a bucket and a pole, and went to the West River at the head of the village to fetch water. After four trips, he filled the water tank at home.

For the next three days, he went out to collect firewood every day, went out to collect firewood in the morning, and chopped firewood at home in the afternoon. For three days, the firewood he made filled the kitchen firewood warehouse.

On the morning before leaving, he went out, found the fisher who had contracted Xihe, and bought a little wolf dog from the fisher.

It's a real wolf dog.

Fish farmers these days generally like to raise wolfhounds and use them to help watch fish ponds, because dogs do not need to sleep at night and their hearing is sharp enough. By raising one or a few wolfhounds, you don't have to worry about someone going to fish ponds to steal fish at night.

In this era, there are too many people who are crazy and poor. If no one is watching a fish pond, or if they are not watching tight enough, someone will definitely steal fish at night.

Raising a wolf dog is often the best choice.

It is useless to raise native dogs in the countryside, because people in rural areas see too many native dogs, and people who dare to go out to steal fish in the middle of the night are generally not afraid of native dogs. Maybe even the dog stole it together.

But wolf dogs are different. Everyone knows that wolf dogs eat meat every day. They are very fierce. Once they are targeted by wolf dogs, they may be bitten to death.

And the fisher who contracted Xihe had several wolfhounds at home. Xu Tongdao was lucky. When he came to the door, the big wolfhound had just given birth to a few little wolfhounds not long ago.

He picked the biggest one.

When he took the little wolf dog home, his mother Ge Xiaozhu was taken aback.

It was around ten o'clock in the morning, and Xu Tonglu and Ge Yuzhu both went to school and were not at home.

Ge Xiaozhu: "Xiaodao, are you crazy? Why are you doing a good job of getting a little wolf dog back? If you want to raise a dog, you don’t need to get a wolf dog back to raise it! I heard that a wolf dog eats meat every day. How can we have so much money? Buy meat for dogs? What do you think?"

Xu Tongdao put the puppy cage outside the door to let the puppy bask in the sun.

Hearing the question from his mother, he smiled and said, "Mom, I'm not at home normally. I don't worry about you. Xiaolu will not be home during the day. When our family buys a house in the county in the second half of the year, Xiaolu and I will be gone. , You and Yuzhu are left at home. How can you rest assured? This dog was specially bought to protect you and Yuzhu. If it eats meat, it will eat meat! You give it some meat every day, and the money is not enough , Tell me! Our family can afford it now!"

After a pause, he said: "Mom! I will keep it in a cage during the daytime. After a while, I will change it to a larger cage. At night, if you close the door and the back door, remove it from the cage. Let it go out and let it move around in the hall. It’s dawn, and then put it in a cage! With it, I will show you the house every night, so I can rest assured when I’m outside."

Ge Xiaozhu looked at him in surprise, speechless.

It was the first time she had heard of raising a wolf dog to watch the house.

But after listening to her son's explanation, she also felt that what he said was reasonable.

Think about why Xu Hengbing dared to molest her daughter Yuzhu last year?

Also, why did Xu Hengbing dare to interrupt the arm of her youngest son on the same road?

If she had a big wolf dog in her family, would Xu Hengbing dare to be so bold?

In fact, there is one thing that she has never dared to tell Xu Tongdao that in the second half of last year, several times in the middle of the night, someone knocked on her window.

Thinking of these things in his heart, Ge Xiaozhu sighed and nodded, "Okay! Mom listens to you, if you want to raise it, then raise it!"

After talking about this, Ge Xiaozhu couldn't help asking again: "By the way, Hengxin's wife wants to go to work in your store. Is there really no way you can arrange it in your store?"

This is not the first time Xu Tongdao's mother has told him about this matter in the past few days when he returned home.

In fact, when he returned to the village this time, several women in the village found him and said they wanted to go to work in his shop, and asked him if he wanted to?

These women, some of whom are older than his mother, want to wash dishes in his shop; some are about the same age as his mother, and want to wash dishes in his shop; there are also eldest girls and little daughter-in-laws who want to go to him Be a waiter in the shop.

The "Hengxin his wife" just mentioned by his mother Ge Xiaozhu was Xu Hengxin's wife in the village, a young wife who had been married for a few years.

Xu Tongdao knew why Ge Xiaozhu spoke specifically for this woman.

Because the woman and his mother Ge Xiaozhu's family belonged to the same village, and they were of the same kind.

"Mom, there is really no shortage of people in my shop for the time being. When you look back, tell her, when there will be a shortage of people in my place, I will be the first to find her, do you think it's okay?"

When he said that, Xu Tongdao was a little grateful that he didn't find the waiter and the auntie who was washing dishes in the village.

Otherwise, when he returns to the village this time, there must be more women who want to go to work in his shop.

As for the women in this village, he didn't have the confidence to manage them well.

Ge Xiaozhu nodded helplessly, "Okay! You really can't make arrangements, then I can only tell her that way when I look back."

...

That evening, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin left home with their luggage and boarded the Wu Peng boat back to the county seat.

Their vacation is over.

I'm going back to the county town tonight. I will go to the vegetable market to buy ingredients in the morning and prepare dishes during the day. Their barbecue restaurant will reopen tomorrow night.

During the five-day holiday, Xu Tonglin adjusted his emotions.

Anyway, when he left the village, Xu Tongdao noticed that Xu Tonglin was in good condition, with a smile on his face and brisk steps.

There were few passengers on the Wu Peng boat that went to the county town in the evening.

The cabin was empty.

But Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin prefer to sit on the bow of the ship, blowing the wind, and looking at the scenery on both sides of the strait.

Xu Tongdao lit a cigarette, and Xu Tonglin sat aside chattering, "Xiaodao, has Changsheng been looking for you these few days?"

He asked about Xu Changsheng.

He knew that Xu Tongdao and Xu Changsheng had a good relationship.

I also know that Xu Tongdao also invited Xu Changsheng to go to the county town to explore together. Later, they mixed up well in the county town. He went back to the village several times, and every time he met Xu Changsheng, he looked in Xu Changsheng’s complicated eyes~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I can see that Xu Changsheng should regret not going to the county with them.

"Well, came to me once."

"He wants to go to the county seat with us, right?" Xu Tonglin was a little funny.

Xu Tongdao shook his head, "He didn't say it clearly, but it should mean that."

Xu Tonglin tilted his head to look at Xu Tongdao, "You didn't agree?"

Xu Tongdao grumbled.

"Why? Don't you have a good relationship with him?" Xu Tonglin was a little strange.

Xu Tongdao smiled faintly, "I listened to what he meant. This time his parents asked him to come to me. It was his parents who wanted him to make money with me, not that he wanted to go. When will he wait? When I want to come, I will consider helping him again!"

Xu Tonglin blinked, his eyes wondering, "Is there a difference?"

Xu Tongdao flicked the soot, "Of course! His father and his stepmother asked him to come to me. After that, the money he earns from us will definitely be given to them. I am not interested in helping with that."
