Chapter 29: But I want to check

   The original smile on Tongdao Xu's face disappeared after hearing what Ge Xiaoyu had said.

   He remembered his score in the senior high school entrance examination, but he was born again. Since he decided not to go to high school, he didn't want his brothers to know his score in the senior high school entrance examination.

   He didn't want his younger brother to feel that he owed him, and he didn't want to argue with his younger brother again about who went to school and who went out to earn money.

Therefore, at this time, he ignored Xu Tonglin and Xu Tonglu's words, just squeezed a faint smile at Ge Xiaoyu, shook his head and said; "Don't waste your phone bill, anyway, no matter how many points I take, I won't go to high school. Yes, thanks!"

   After finishing speaking, he suppressed a smile, raised his foot and left.

   Ge Xiaoyu was stunned there, but she didn't even react.

   When she reacted, Xu Tongdao had already walked seven or eight steps.

   Xu Tonglin was also stunned. After reacting, he sighed and followed Xu Tongdao.

   In contrast, Xu Tonglu's expression is the most complicated. He frowned and remained silent for a while before bowing his head and walking home.

"This this…"

   Ge Xiaoyu looked at the back of the three of them, gaping, and wanted to call Xu Tongdao to stop. After thinking about it, she still held it back. Xu Tongdao's behavior in the past two days has changed her a lot.

In addition, she found that her score in the senior high school entrance examination was good. Shangxian No. 2 Middle School should have no problem. She was in a good mood. So just now she suddenly saw Xu Tongdao, she subconsciously called him, and wanted to show him a good idea and help him check it. Let’s look at the scores of the senior high school entrance examination this time.

She had a faint thought in her heart: With Xu Tongdao’s previous grades, she might be admitted to County No. 2 High School this time. After all, she and he belonged to the same village, and they were both classmates since childhood, and these two days...or since Xu After the disappearance of her fellow father, Xu Tongdao seemed to have matured overnight, and she no longer disgusted her. She hopes that if they can go to the Second County Middle School together this time, they can take care of each other in the future. After all, she is a girl. If a boy from the same village takes care of her, she will feel more at ease.

   This is her instinctive thought just for a moment.

   But until now, she realized that she had overlooked the current situation of the Taoist Xu family.

  His father disappeared, and his family has no money-making labor force.

   With his mother as a woman, how could it be possible for the three of them to study?

   At this moment, her nature as a woman...the factor of maternal love made her a little bit sympathetic to Xu Tongdao.

   also realized that the disappearance of Xu Tongdao's father Xu Weixi might completely change the fate of the three brothers and sisters of Xu Tongdao.

  ...

  Xu Tongdao walked into the house first. As soon as he walked in, he saw his sister Ge Yuzhu coming in through the back door with an apron around her waist. She should have been cooking just now.

   "Brother, are you back? How did you get?"

   She still laughed without saying a word.

"Okay!"

  Xu Tongdao answered, and asked her smoothly, "Where are you? Have the fish been sold?"

Hearing this, Ge Yuzhu frowned slightly and his expression was a little sad, "I sold all the alive and larger ones, but I sold them too late today. Several of the big fish you brought back are dead. It was sold for 25 yuan in total..."

   The prices are low these days, like crucian carp, it is more expensive in winter, about five or six yuan per catty, of course, a slightly larger one, if the fish is small, it is still very cheap.

   But it's the rainy season recently, many people can go to the fields to get crucian carp, so the recent crucian carp, etc., are very cheap.

   The larger crucian carp can be sold for three or four dollars.

   a little bit at a time, you can also sell it for two yuan a catty.

   That's it, but still alive.

   Today, most of the fish in the fish basket was sold for only 25 yuan. It must be a fake to say that he is not disappointed, but seeing his sister's expression is already sad, Xu Tongdao cannot bear to blame her.

   instead smiled and said: "It's okay! Dead and young, let's keep it for ourselves, by the way, you go get the tub, go!"

   "Hey! Okay, brother!"

   Ge Yuzhu soon brought their big wooden bathtub.

  Xu Tongdao poured all the river prawns in the bucket into this bathtub, and in an instant, densely packed river prawns covered the entire bottom of the bathtub.

   Xu Tongdao greeted his sister, Xu Tonglin, and Xu Tonglu to help pick out all the big prawns inside.

While holding it, he said: "I remember that there are two or three fish and shrimp sellers in the vegetable market in our town. Let's pick out the big ones quickly and wait for Yuzhu and Xiaolu. You two will get to the vegetable market together. I don’t have time to go to wholesale fish and shrimp sellers. After I have dinner, I have to go to the weishang to change my mother back, or I will go to the vegetable market by myself."

   "Oh, oh, good, good brother."

   Ge Yuzhu hesitated a little, but still agreed.

   And the reason why she hesitated, Xu Tongdao also understood that for a girl who hadn't sold anything before, she must be a little cowered when she suddenly asked her to sell something to a stranger.

   This is also one of the reasons why he just said he let his brother go with her.

   Another reason was that he was afraid that his sister would be bullied and asked his brother Xu Tonglu to go with him. Only when Xu Tongdao was relieved.

   Seeing that his sister had agreed, but he didn't hear the voice of his brother Xu Tonglu, Xu Tongdao glanced at him subconsciously, but saw that the kid Xu Tonglu frowned slightly at this time, looking a little absent.

   Upon seeing this, Xu Tongdao frowned and called Xu Tonglu twice. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

   When Xu Tonglu looked at him, Xu Tongdao repeated his decision just now.

   After listening, Xu Tonglu didn't have any comments, but he gave a faint hum, even if he agreed.

   "Aren't these smaller river prawns sold?"

   Xu Tonglin couldn't help asking.

Xu Tongdao smiled, "I won’t sell the small ones today. You can take half of them back later. Today we are all tired all afternoon. We will keep these small river prawns for our own sake. Let’s try them fresh. From tomorrow on, let’s use the small river prawns to sell for money!"

  ...

   Five or six catties of river prawns were picked out, and the four of them worked together, and they were quickly picked out.

   Xu Tongdao divided Xu Tonglin halfway, so he ordered his sister to bring food to eat.

   Shunkou also told Xu Tonglin to stay and eat together, but Xu Tonglin smiled and refused, holding the small river prawns that he had given him, turning around and jogging back to him.

   The three remaining siblings had a simple dinner. Xu Tongdao simply washed his face and feet, took on his coat and umbrella, and left, and went to Xishang to change his mother home.

   And his brother and sister also took the big river prawns they picked out and rushed to the town.

   What Xu Tongdao didn’t know was—Xu Tonglu and Ge Yuzhu just walked out of the village entrance, and Xu Tonglu, who said nothing all the way, suddenly said: "Yuzhu, do you know where the admission ticket for the senior high school entrance examination is placed?"

   Ge Yuzhu was surprised, "Second brother, why are you asking? Can't you find it?"

Xu Tonglu shook his head, "No! Ge Xiaoyu said that their senior high school entrance examination scores came out. Originally, she asked her eldest brother for the admission ticket number, and planned to use her home phone to help her check the scores, but the eldest brother did not agree, but I want to check it! Just say, do you know where his admission ticket is?"
