Xu Youcheng has seen Father Xu once since he came back from labor reform, but he has never seen him at other times. He usually lives his life in the village and has never had any trouble.

However, he came here this evening to find trouble?

Xu Zhao was a little confused.

Mother Xu looked at Father Xu.

Father Xu asked unhappily, "What are you doing here?"

Xu Youcheng whispered outside the door, "Dad, I have something to do with you."

Not looking for Xu Zhao.

Father Xu looked at Xu Zhao and Mother Xu.

Xu Zhao and Xu's mother are like passers-by whether they are dealing with Xu Youcheng or Xu Zuocheng. When they meet in the village, they don't say hello, and they never thought they would have anything to do with them. Just don't make trouble. , So at this time, he turned a blind eye to Father Xu's eyes.

But Xu Youcheng had already approached the door, but Xu's father got up after all, walked to the door, opened the courtyard door, did not let Xu Youcheng enter the courtyard, and finished talking with Xu Youcheng outside the courtyard, and then returned to the small dining table.

"What's the matter?" Mother Xu asked.

Father Xu glanced at Xu Zhao and whispered, "I'm here to borrow money."

"Borrowing money for what?"

"It's said that it is to replenish the body for the second baby's mother."

"What's wrong with the second child?"

"Erwa's mother gave birth to a daughter, she doesn't have enough milk, she wants to eat something meaty, and—"

"What else?" Mother Xu asked again.

Father Xu added: "There is another baby who has been complaining about a stomachache recently, maybe there are worms in the stomach, I want to buy some insecticide to eat, and I borrow money from the villagers, but the villagers dare not lend him money, so the new wheat is harvested. I can't sell it, I really can't help it, so I found us here."

Mother Xu was silent after hearing this.

Father Xu lowered his head and said nothing.

Xu Fan continued, "Dad, the second baby has a stomachache."

Xu Zhao looked at Xu Fan and asked, "Er baby's stomach hurts?"

Xu Fan nodded: "Well, the second baby is in pain and crying."

"Crying in pain?"

"Ok."

"When?"

"That, that, two days." That's the pain for a while.

This age is not as careful as raising children in the 21st century, so there are many cases of parasitic infections in children. Most children in the village have taken insecticides.

Although Xu Zhao hated Xu Youcheng, but the second child was still young and had not done anything bad, he couldn't help but looked up at Father Xu and asked, "Did you lend him money?"

Father Xu replied, "No." He had to pay the younger son to take the medicine himself. He was very clear about the younger son's filial piety to him.

"Then lend him twenty dollars." Xu Zhao said.

Father Xu was taken aback.

Mother Xu looked at Xu Zhao.

"The second baby is sick, the little girl is born... It's hard to change anyone, let him make an IOU." Xu Zhao really felt that the child was innocent.

Father Xu nodded when he heard the words, with mixed feelings in his heart, it's better to be the younger son.

Mother Xu did not speak.

Xu Zhao looked at Father Xu and asked, "Did he leave?"

Father Xu said, "No, it's still outside the hospital."

"Dad, let him in and write an IOU."

"Don't let him in, just write outside the hospital." Father Xu said.

"That's fine too."

Xu Zhao got up and went into the west wing, took a pen and paper, handed it to Father Xu, and lighted up the waiting outside the courtyard, allowing Father Xu to deal with Xu Youcheng. He went back to the dining table and continued to eat dumplings with Mother Xu and Xu Fan. She asked, "Xu Fan, does your stomach hurt?"

Xu Fan replied, "It doesn't hurt."

"Did it hurt?"

"no."

"If it hurts, tell Dad immediately, okay?"

"I know." Xu Fan nodded, then shouted, "Dad."

"Ok?"

"I also eat a dumpling."

"..."

"I-I'll eat the last one."

"Row."

Xu Zhao put another dumpling for Xu Fan, and then heard the sound of the courtyard door being closed, and saw Father Xu walking over with a piece of paper in his hand, his eyes were red.

"Dad." Xu Zhao shouted.

Father Xu smiled and said, "Here, IOU."

"Is he all right?"

"No, it's just a miserable life. I gave him twenty dollars, but he cried first, just like when he was a child." Father Xu wiped his eyes, picked up his rice bowl, and said, "Eat and eat."

In the end, it is his own son, no matter how bad or evil, there will be a soft and unceasing blood relationship in the bottom of his heart. Mother Xu and Zhao Zhao understand this, and no one will expose it, leaving Father Xu to be alone. After a while, Xu Zhao and Xu's mother ate dumplings quietly.

After eating, Xu's mother went to clean up the kitchen, and Xu Zhao took Xu Fan to Da Zhuang's house for a walk, and took a look at the newly born Da Ni'er, and then brought Xu Fan back home, took a bath, lay on the bed, beside her. Fanning a fan, telling a story and putting Xu Fan to sleep, when Xu Fan was about to go to sleep, the phone rang.

Xu Zhao's first thought was Cui Dingchen, and when he answered the phone, it was indeed Cui Dingchen.

"Is Xu Fan asleep?" Cui Dingchen asked.

"Sleep." Xu Zhao said.

"That's good."

"That's good?" Xu Zhao was puzzled.

"Well, in this way, we can have a good chat for a while."

"Don't you need money for the phone bill?"

"I'll talk to you if I want money."

Xu Zhao held the phone and raised the corner of his mouth, sat slowly at the table, looked at the moon outside the window, and chatted with Cui Dingchen for about an hour. Then he hung up the phone, lay down on the bed by the moonlight, hugged the chubby Xu Fan in his arms, kissed him for ten seconds, and found that Xu Fan was as hot as a small stove.

So hot.

Xu Zhao pushed Xu Fan away again, lying on the bed, looking at the pitch-black beam of the house, with Cui Dingchen's pleasant voice all over his ears, he couldn't help but be excited, he couldn't fall asleep normally until late at night.

The next morning, he was woken up by Xu Fan himself. After waking up, he put on clothes and shoes for Xu Fan, and saw Cui Dingchen as soon as he went out.

Xu Zhao was shocked.

Mother Xu smiled and said, "Uncle Cui has been here for a long time and is helping me fetch water."

Xu Zhao looked at Cui Dingchen, a little surprised and a little embarrassed, Cui Dingchen came so early.

Cui Dingchen looked at Xu Zhao affectionately and said, "I'm here to bring you a bicycle, and I'll pick watermelons with you later."

Xu Zhao asked, "You, have you been really busy recently?"

Cui Dingchen nodded: "I'm really not busy."

"Then have you had breakfast?"

"no."

"Let's eat here later."

"Okay." Cui Dingchen agreed immediately.

Xu Zhao glanced at Cui Dingchen with some shyness and some joy, and then took Xu Fan to wash his hands in front of the porcelain basin. While washing, Cui Dingchen came over and stretched his big hand into the ceramic basin. By washing his hands, he touched Xu Zhao's hand. .

Xu Zhao's ears turned red.

Cui Dingchen laughed out loud.

Xu Zhao's ears turned even redder.

Xu Fan knew nothing and said, "Dad, Second Master Cui touched my hand."

Xu Zhao: "..."

"Dad, Second Master Cui has used me, my porcelain pot."

Xu Zhaohan explained: "If he has nothing to do, he will use it, it will not get in the way."

"No problem." Xu Fan repeated.

"Yes, it's fine."

Hearing that it was all right, Xu Fan continued to wash his hands.

Xu Zhao looked up at Cui Dingchen and said, "My parents are here."

Cui Dingchen nodded and did not take advantage of Xu Zhao again. He had breakfast with Xu Zhao, and then helped Xu Zhao's family pick watermelons and harvest wheat, and went to the county town with Xu Zhao to sell watermelons. This was the case for several days until the Dragon Boat Festival was over. On the festival, the loudspeakers in the village began to inform each household that it was time to go to the grain station to deliver the public grain.

It happened that this day was the full moon for Da Ni'er, so we wanted to put on a simple full moon feast. Xu's father and Xu's mother went to Li's house to help, but Xu Zhao couldn't help much. I was afraid that there would be too many people who would pay the public ration tomorrow, so I decided to go to pay the public ration today. , Just after the two grains were put on the ox cart, Cui Dingchen came, just in time to go to the grain station with Xu Zhao and Xu Fan.

Unexpectedly, there were still long queues at the grain station, but Xu Zhao did not, so he had to ask Cui Dingchen to park the bullock cart behind the queue, and they just waited. It was a coincidence that they were the only ones who were just under the sun, not even a little bit. There was no shade from the trees, and the hot Xu Fan frowned.

"Go to the shade of the tree by the pond in front." Cui Dingchen said.

Xu Zhao glanced at the shade of trees in front of him, it was really cool, and he could see the team while sitting there, so he pulled Xu Fan and Cui Dingchen to sit by the pond, where a row of weeping willows was planted, and the wicker swayed when the breeze blew. , very cool.

"Is it cool?" Xu Zhao asked Xu Fan.

Xu Fan nodded.

Xu Zhao handed the toy car in his hand to Xu Fan to play with, and Xu Fan sat beside Xu Zhao obediently and did not run around.

Only then did Xu Zhao look at Cui Dingchen and say, "Uncle, it's hard for you."

Cui Dingchen nodded: "It's quite hard work."

Xu Zhao said with a smile: "Next year, you won't have to work hard to pay public food."

"Will you pay directly next year?"

"Well, after it's going to rain, I'll plough the ground, and then build a greenhouse on the land of my house and brother Li's house to grow greenhouse vegetables."

"How many acres are there in total?"

"There are more than eight acres of land, and it will be expanded after earning a while."

"Well, eight acres is not bad, but I can't help you grow vegetables."

Xu Zhao looked at Cui Dingchen suspiciously and asked, "Are you busy?"

"Well, go to the city tomorrow."

"How long?"

"not sure."

Xu Zhao didn't answer.

Cui Dingchen raised his eyebrows to look at Xu Zhao and asked, "What? Can't bear me?"

Xu Zhao hurriedly looked down at Xu Fan. Seeing Xu Fan was concentrating on playing with toys, he looked up at Cui Dingchen again, but he didn't answer Cui Dingchen's words.

Cui Dingchen asked, "Why did you say that all of a sudden?"

Xu Zhao pointed at the grain station and said, "Last year, Brother Li and I were sitting there queuing to hand over the public grain."

Cui Dingchen said, "I know."

"you know?"

"Well, I came to see you specifically last year."

"Look at me? You didn't know me at that time, did you?"

"I know you." Cui Dingchen stretched out his hand to hold Xu Zhao's hand and said, "I always hear Qingfeng mention you, so I think about you and see if you can lie to Qingfeng."

"I lied to Qingfeng?" Xu Zhaozhen never thought that Cui Dingchen had such an idea.

"Well, you were a smart child in my heart at that time." Cui Dingchen looked at Xu Zhao with a burning gaze, and told the truth: "I have no ill will towards you, mainly because Qingfeng is very simple and has never experienced anything, so I I just wanted to see you, but after seeing you—"

Xu Zhao asked expectantly, "What about the future?"

The corners of Cui Dingchen's mouth rose slightly: "I was attracted to you after that."

Xu Zhao's heart was suddenly sweet, and his eyes were unusually soft and bright, which made him look even better. The breeze was blowing at this moment, and a willow leaf fell on Xu Zhao's shoulder, attracting Cui Dingchen's attention.

Cui Dingchen's eyes slowly climbed up Xu Zhao's shoulders and landed on Xu Zhao's red lips.

"Xu Zhao." Cui Dingchen whispered.

Xu Zhao fixed his eyes on Cui Dingchen.

Cui Dingchen took Xu Zhao's hand with one hand, and the other hand accurately covered Xu Fan's eyes, then suddenly leaned up to Xu Zhao and kissed Xu Zhao's lips.

Xu Zhao was startled.

Xu Fan immediately rubbed Cui Dingchen's palm with his small meat hand, and asked in a milky voice, "Dad, who is it? Who, who is covering my eyes?"
