Return To 1998

　　 When they returned to Xujia Village, the village chief Xu Hengchun and the others went back to their homes, and only asked two village officials to carry the three chickens and one duck to help Xu Tongdao bring them home.

　　 sent to Xutong Taoist school, put down the chickens and ducks, and the two village cadres also left.

　　 At this time, it was almost noon.

　　 It stands to reason that Xu Tongdao should stay with them for dinner, and he did stay, but the two village cadres glanced at the two vegetarian dishes on his table, and they both shook their heads and said not to be so polite, and insisted to leave.

　　 Seeing this, Xu Tongdao did not insist on staying.

　　 He saw the dishes on his table at noon today, and it was really not suitable for guests to eat.

　　 Just a stir-fried water spinach and a stir-fried green pepper.

　　 "Brother, are you hungry? Why don't you eat first? Don't wait for the second brother."

Ge Yuzhu, who had already prepared his food, jogged up to Xu Tongdao at this time, looking at the packets of rice and rice in the hall, and the three chickens and a duck with his feet on the ground. He was happy, and his tone became lighter. A lot.

　　 This morning, when Xu Tongdao was going out to find those people asking for something, she was still worried and wanted to persuade Xu Tongdao not to go.

　　 But then when I saw the village chief and the others helping my elder brother to get those things, especially when he saw packages of rice and rice being moved back home, Ge Yuzhu's mood was completely different.

　　 She is watching all the difficulties at home recently.

　　 If it hadn't been for the second aunt's house and borrowed two bags of rice, their house would have been unable to open the pot a long time ago.

　　 And today, she watched her elder brother move back home with six or seven bags of rice and a bag of rice. She was naturally overjoyed.

　　 Because it means that at least the next few months, their family won't be hungry.

　　 As for three chickens and one duck to come back, it is even more unexpected.

　　 "You help me serve rice!"

　　 Xu Tongdao casually ordered his sister, then bent over to untie the straw rope on the three chicken legs on the ground, untied one, and threw one into the chicken coop.

　　 He is not sure if these three chickens are the original chickens of his family.

　　 He probably isn't.

　　 If it's really not, then you have to prevent these three chickens from running away.

　　The chicken coop in his house is in the corner of the hall near the door, to the east.

　　 These days, rural families support their families, and many families are like this.

　　 A wooden chicken coop, square and square, the top can be used as a table to put things, chickens and ducks are usually stocked outside during the day, at night they will go home by themselves and get into the chicken coop for the night.

　　 If it weren’t the chickens and ducks raised by the family, once they were released, they would definitely not know that they were back.

　　 Therefore, Xu Tongdao untied the straw rope on a chicken leg, threw it into the chicken coop, and immediately closed the chicken coop door to prevent the chicken from running away.

　　 According to his experience, these three chickens may have to be kept in the chicken coop for many days before being released.

　　 As for laying eggs?

　　 Within a month or two, I’m afraid I can’t count on it.

　　 He remembered that his mother used to say: Passing chickens will not lay eggs for a long time.

　　 And the so-called passing chicken...

　　 refers to a chicken caught from one family to another.

　　Because a chicken has little courage, it will be severely frightened as soon as a person catches it, and the sequelae after the fright is that it does not lay eggs for a long time.

　　 When he shut the three chickens into the chicken coop, and was about to untie the straw rope on the duck's leg, Xu Tongdao hesitated for a moment, and did not untie the rope on its leg, and directly locked it in the chicken coop.

　　 He plans to kill it for the stew this afternoon.

　　 Just as a celebration of returning so many things today!

　　 Actually, the main reason is that he thinks that there is only such a duck left, and it will not be easy to raise it in the future.

　　 Chickens and ducks were originally animals that liked to huddle in groups. When there were 8 of them, they could be released during the day to find food on their own. When someone saw a group of ducks, they would usually not steal them.

　　 But if it's a duck going out, maybe someone will steal it home and stew it.

　　 In Xu Tongdao’s memory, Xujiacun has never lacked anyone who stalked the dog.

　　 So, instead of the duck being stewed by others in the future, he might as well stew it himself.

　　 just can make up for my mother and them.

　　...

　　 When Xu Tongdao and his sister Ge Yuzhu were halfway through their meal, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

　　 The two brothers and sisters followed the reputation and saw that Xu Tonglu was back.

　　 Xu Tonglu, who is one year younger than Xu Tongdao, is not shorter than Xu Tongdao, and his face is also different. Xu Tongdao has a long face, and Xu Tonglu has a national character face.

　　 but thin... the brothers are almost the same.

Xu Tonglu, who went out to fish for a whole morning, wore only a pair of big pants and a white vest, and a self-made harpoon in his left hand, about five meters long, and a bunch of fish strung together with poplar branches in his right hand. , Different sizes.

　　 is mainly crucian carp.

　　 The big one is half a catty small, and the small one is only the size of a cigarette case.

　　 barefoot, walked to the gate with a grunt, leaned the harpoon against the gate, stomped the mud on his feet, and walked into the hall.

My sister Ge Yuzhu saw the string of fish in Xu Tonglu's hand, her eyes lit up, she immediately got up and ran over, took the string of fish from Xu Tonglu's hand, and said happily: "Great. We have fish tonight. …"

　　 There was no smile on Xu Tonglu’s face. He raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Tongdao who was eating, and Ge Yuzhu had just eaten half of his rice bowl on the table. Xu Tonglu frowned, "Are you not waiting for me to come back for dinner?"

　　 This kid has had a bad temper since he was young.

　　 There is no respect or fear for his brother Xu Tongdao, who is only one year older than him. UU reading www. uukananshu.com

　　 has been arrogant since childhood.

　　 His arrogance comes from many sources.

　　 For example: He has never lost a fight with his peers since he was a child.

　　 For example: He started in elementary school, and his academic performance has always been the first in the class.

　　 For example: his hands-on ability is very strong, he can make all the toys that others can make, and he is generally better than others.

　　 "If you're hungry, serve your own meal! Who do you want to show your face? Go!"

　　Xu Tongdao squinted at him angrily, not used to his stinking problem.

It turned out that in that time and space, after their father disappeared, Xu Tonglu became more and more lawless. He didn't listen to anyone's words. His mother couldn't control him, and Xu Tongdao couldn't control this kid. As a result, this kid's path went further and further. Finally, he managed to die and went to prison to eat public meals.

　　 Now, to live a lifetime, he will not let this kid free himself again.

　　 When necessary, he doesn't mind to beat this kid with his fists and feet, anyway, he can't make him lawless.

"Humph!"

　　 Xu Tonglu snorted coldly, and stared at Xu Tongdao coldly.

　　 As a result, as soon as he walked two steps, he stopped because he saw the few packs of rice and rice by the wall.

　　 looked confused, "What are these things? Where did they come from?"

　　 The rice and rice are wrapped in a snakeskin bag, so he can't see what's inside.

　　 Ge Yuzhu smiled and said happily: "It's rice and rice, both of which my eldest brother went to come back this morning, there are three chickens and a duck!"

　　 "Rice and rice? Where did you get it back from?"

　　 Xu Tonglu is even more puzzled.

　　 subconsciously walked over quickly and opened a bag to check.
