Sister Yun's first impression of Xu Zhao was very good. Through these few days of getting along in pieces, her impression of Xu Zhao has not decreased but increased. She is kind, gentle, active, enthusiastic, humble and polite. Most young people cannot be at the same time. Yes, but Xu Zhao has done it very well, especially Xu Zhao is very good-looking, and it makes me feel happy to see it. He is very good at doing things. From time to time, he will bring some new popsicles, so that Sister Yun can try it out. It can be said that , is very good to Ms. Yun.

Sister Yun thought that she just recommended his popsicles to the section chief. She had recommended many businesses to the section chief of the steel mill, but no one would repay the kindness like Xu Zhao.

Therefore, Sister Yun is very fond of Xu Zhao and his son. Now she heard that Xu Zhao's father was hospitalized for a stroke and must be short of money, so Sister Yun did not wait for Xu Zhao to ask for money, and asked again: "Do you want to settle the contract in advance?" Some popsicle money?"

Xu Zhao was grateful to Sister Yun for opening this conversation, and nodded quickly.

"How much do you plan to pay?" Sister Yun asked.

"One hundred dollars." Xu Zhao replied.

"Just 100 yuan? Could it be too little?" Sister Yun felt that it was quite little.

Xu Zhao thought for a while and said, "Why don't you pay one hundred and fifty yuan?"

Sister Yun thought for a while and said, "How about paying two hundred yuan for you? Two hundred should be enough. Anyway, the balance is your money. You can pay as much as you want, as long as it is within the range of the balance."

Two hundred dollars!

That couldn't be better.

Xu Zhao quickly said happily, "Thank you, Sister Yun, and let's settle two hundred yuan."

Sister Yun said with a smile: "You call me sister, I can't let you call me in vain."

Then Sister Yun took Xu Zhao to the finance department of the steel mill, and explained Xu Zhao's situation to the accountant. The accountant understood poverty very well, so she tried her best to report the matter to the team leader, who quickly agreed.

The accountant also happily gave Xu Zhao an application for the final payment in advance, and asked Xu Zhao to sign it. Then, he counted twenty pieces of RMB with a face value of ten yuan and handed it to Xu Zhao.

After Xu Zhao got the money, he first thanked the accountant and Sister Yun, then took the money, took Xu Fan, and returned to Cui Qingfeng's house. He gave Cui Qingfeng 100 yuan, and told Cui Qingfeng very sorry. , I owe him two hundred yuan, and I can't pay it back for the time being. It may take a while.

"It's alright, it's okay if you don't pay it back." Although Cui Qingfeng said it with a smile, he said from the bottom of his heart that Xu Zhao would be fine if he didn't pay back the money, not only because he liked Xu Zhao, but also because he made money this year. Xu Zhao made so much money because of his ideas. Otherwise, he would only go to the popsicle factory to get the goods and sell them in the countryside, and he would sell them for less than 100 yuan in a summer.

"That won't work, I'll definitely have to pay it back." Xu Zhao insisted.

"That's fine, but don't worry, I'm definitely not in a hurry. My uncle has already prepared the money for my father's operation, and I usually don't spend much money. By the way, why did you suddenly go there? Money for popsicles? Is your dad's medical bills not enough?"

Xu Zhao confessed to Cui Qingfeng and said, "No, I plan to build a house."

Cui Qingfeng asked in surprise, "Build a house?"

Xu Zhao nodded: "Yes."

"What kind of house to build? Where to build it?"

Xu Zhao replied, "I want to build a small tile house at the intersection."

"Is it just at the small intersection in front? Are you crazy?" Cui Qingfeng immediately called out: "What's the use of building a house at the intersection, the more you have no money, the more foolish you are!"

"No tossing." Xu Zhao said.

Cui Qingfeng said angrily: "You are just tossing! You can't eat anymore. Look, you don't even have new clothes. What kind of house are you building? It's not that you don't have a house!"

Speaking of which, Cui Qingfeng is still very distressed by Xu Zhao. He wanted to buy new clothes for Xu Zhao several times, but Xu Zhao refused. Moreover, the two hundred yuan was borrowed a few days ago, and he had no money to buy it for Xu Zhao. Xu Zhao himself didn't want to eat or wear himself, but now he wants to build a house, which is a fool's errand!

It's just fooling around!

Xu Zhao looked at Cui Qingfeng and said, "It's not tossing, it's making money."

"If you make money, you make money. What are you building a house for?"

"For better money."

"…"

Cui Qingfeng was puzzled and did not understand at all, what is the relationship between making money and building a house.

Xu Zhao had to explain it to Cui Qingfeng very patiently, saying that he planned to have income all year round, not like the popsicle business, which has only one summer's vitality. Building a house is also the result of Xu Zhao's repeated thinking, not Impulsive, not just tossing around, but really thinking about making money for a long time.

Speaking like this, Cui Qingfeng was a little shaken, thinking that his uncle had said that it was right for him to follow Xu Zhao, so he calmed down slowly, his tone was much gentler, and said, "I'm afraid you are too tired. "

Xu Zhao smiled, the smile was clean and bright, extremely beautiful, and said, "I'm not tired, thank you for your concern."

Cui Qingfeng instantly caught Xu Zhao's good-looking, good-looking with light, and he lowered his head a little embarrassedly.

Xu Zhao didn't notice the difference between Cui Qingfeng. Seeing that Cui Qingfeng listened to his own words, he turned to work. He took out the popsicles from the popsicle mold, packed them one by one, put them in a foam box, and then tied them to the back seat of the bicycle. , look back at Xu Fan.

Xu Fan stared at Xu Zhao with watery eyes, as if saying "Dad, I'll go too, I'll go too".

Xu Zhao felt that the weather was too hot, and he was afraid that the prickly heat that had just subsided on Xu Fan's forehead would appear again. He wanted to keep Xu Fan, but Xu Fan was his son and his surname was Xu, not Cui. Others help him look after the child, so he can only say: "Get in the car."

Xu Fan's face immediately burst into a healing smile. The two dimples looming at the corners of his mouth were very beautiful. He stepped on his short legs and ran to Xu Zhao's legs. He raised his arms very skillfully and turned his back to Xu Zhao. .

Xu Zhao bent down, picked up Xu Fan with one arm, carried Xu Fan onto the front bar of the bicycle, stretched out his long legs, stepped on the bicycle, said to Cui Qingfeng, and then drove Xu Fan to the grain station.

Near the grain station is another long queue of ox carts, but it is no longer the same group of villagers as yesterday.

Xu Zhao stepped off the bicycle, looked left and right, and before he could speak, Xu Fan, who was holding the handlebars, suddenly shouted, "I'm selling popsicles! Is there anyone who sells popsicles? Three cents a piece! I'm selling popsicles. !"

Xu Zhao: "..." Sanwazi is very active and enthusiastic.

Xu Fan asked the uncle next to him with great enthusiasm: "Grandpa, can you buy my popsicle? It's delicious."

Xu Zhao: "..." Sanwazi can chat with anyone.

Under Xu Fan's strong promotion, the uncle smiled and took out three cents from his pocket to buy a popsicle, sat under the tree and ate it. He looked very cool and comfortable, which made the eyes of the villagers beside him warm. A look of eagerness to try, everyone is thinking that it is only three cents anyway, it is nothing, so some people come up to buy it, there are more people who buy popsicles, and others follow the herd mentality and buy them. .

After a while, Xu Zhao's popsicles were running low. As Xu Zhao pushed the popsicles and Xu Fan forward, he saw Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng.

Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng were sitting on the **** of an ox cart. Because there was no shade in the place, they sat directly under the sun, sweating profusely, but even so, they looked disdainful and aloof. Looking at Xu Zhao, he felt that Xu Zhao took his children out to sell popsicles for a salary of five yuan a month. It was too shameful, too shameful.

This was exactly what Xu Zhao wanted, and Xu Zhao ignored Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng.

When Xu Fan pointed at Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng and wanted to call the uncle and second uncle, Xu Zhao covered Xu Fan's mouth and said, "They don't recognize us, and we don't pay attention to them."

Xu Fan nodded and whispered, "They are bad people, they yell at grandparents."

"…right."

Xu Zhao pushed the bicycle, continued to go around the grain station, sold out the popsicles, and then rode back to Cui's house to continue making popsicles. However, because Xu Zhao wanted to deliver lunch to Xu's mother, he also went home to feed the chickens and ducks. So Xu Zhao did not eat at Cui Qingfeng's house, but took Xu Fan back to Nanwan Village. Cui Muqiang couldn't keep it, so she gave Xu Zhao two bags of dried noodles, saying that her colleague's family wanted to open a noodle factory and gave her a taste. , do not need money.

Certainly need money, but not less.

Xu Zhao wanted to refuse, but he couldn't, so he returned to Nanwan Village with two packs of dried noodles, put down a handful of noodles, filled a large bowl, brought it to Dazhuang's house, and gave it to Dazhuang's family to eat.

This is a whole bowl of white noodles. Dazhuang's father and Dazhuang's mother were flattered and accepted, and then used a small bowl to poke two bowls of noodles, and let the two little guys, Xu Fan and Dazhuang, squat in front of the small stool and use their hands one by one. Eat noodles.

Xu Fan said, "Dazhuang, this is my family's noodles. My father made them, isn't it delicious?"

Dazhuang said, "It's delicious."

Xu Zhao smiled when he heard the words, and turned to talk to Dad Dazhuang about building a house in the county seat.

Dad Dazhuang has the diligence, honesty and simplicity of rural people. He just told Xu Zhao about building a house yesterday. This morning, he went to the next village to inquire about the wages and brick prices, and he also helped Xu Zhao to suppress a part. The price means that 100 yuan can build the house, but everyone's busy farming has not completely ended, so the house may be built slowly, and it will take about a week to build.

"It's okay for a week, I'm not in a hurry." Xu Zhao said, "Thank you Brother Li."

"You're welcome, didn't you pay me back?" Dad Dazhuang said with a smile.

"That salary is too little." Xu Zhao said embarrassedly.

"A lot, a lot." Dad Zhuang said, "I'm going to prepare today, and tomorrow we'll take a shovel and a rammer to lay the foundation."

"Okay, thank you Brother Li." Xu Zhao hesitated and said, "However, Brother Li, I have one more thing to trouble you."

"What's the matter? You said." Dad Zhuang said.

"It's me who built the house, don't tell my two brothers, if they really want to ask, you can say that it was built for my classmates, don't say that it was built by me." Otherwise, Xu Zhao is now My father had a stroke, my mother was worried, and there was an oil bottle. I was busy with my feet on the ground every day, so I didn't have time to deal with Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng.

Of course, the entire Nanwan Village knew that Xu Zhao and Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng were at odds. They also knew that Xu Zhao, Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng were half-sisters. They also believed that although Xu's mother was good to Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng, in the final analysis, Xu Zhao was the relative. son.

Dad Dazhuang also thinks so, so he thinks that Xu Zhao has money to build a house, which is secretly saved by Mrs. Xu. If Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng find out, there must be a big riot, and the trouble is uncertain, so Dad Dazhuang does not pursue it. How could Xu Zhao have so much money, but simply said: "Don't worry, I will definitely not say it. I will also tell others that this is your classmate's house."

Xu Zhao said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Li."

Da Zhuang's mother continued: "Xu Zhao, I think you were stupid in school. You can usually be polite. Now, thank you for opening and closing your mouth in front of us.

Dazhuang's father turned around and said to Dazhuang's mother: "You are stupid, what do you know, this is called a cultural person, this is a civilized behavior."

Also civilized behavior! Look at the word used!

Dazhuang's mother immediately refuted Dazhuang's father: "I don't understand, you understand, don't forget, you haven't finished the third grade of elementary school."

"Just hello, don't you go to the fourth grade of elementary school?"

"What happened to the fourth grade of elementary school? I know that eighty-nine equals seventy-two, but I won't equal seventy."

"I made a mistake that time, I know it's equal to seventy-two!"

"…"

Xu Zhao listened to Dazhuang's father and Dazhuang's mother bickering, and couldn't help laughing. When the two stopped, Xu Zhao took Xu Fan to leave the Dazhuang's house and returned home. He mixed the lumps of noodles with boiled water and sat in front of the kitchen to eat them. He opened his mouth and said to Xu Fan, "Xu Fan, go and feed the chickens and ducks."

Xu Fan acted immediately, closed the courtyard door skillfully, and took off the two chicken covers. After the chickens and ducks were released, he hurried to the kitchen to catch the bran. He grabbed two big handfuls with his small hands. He sprinkled it in front of the chickens and ducks, and continued to run to the kitchen to catch them. After catching them several times, he let the chickens and ducks eat there by himself. He stood in front of Xu Zhao with a bulging belly and watched Xu Zhao eat. Noodles, Xiaozui couldn't help but snorted twice.

Xu Zhao: "…"

"Dad." Xu Fan shouted.

Xu Zhao asked, "What are you doing?"

Xu Fan said, "The white noodles are delicious."

"Yeah." Xu Zhao continued to eat noodles with his head down with his bowl in hand.

Xu Fan said, "I and Dazhuang have both eaten."

Xu Zhao replied, "Well, I know."

"But Dazhuang said, said, said, he still wants to eat." Xu Fan said.

Dazhuang sold again! Dazhuang sells Xu Fan 100 times every day, and Xu Fan sells Dazhuang 101 times. It is puzzling that these two little guys can still be the best friends in the whole village.

Xu Zhao looked at Xu Fan and asked, "Do you still want to eat?"

Xu Fan wanted to refute, but felt that he really wanted to eat, and then said, "Well, I want to eat too."

"Walk in front of me." Xu Zhao said.

Xu Fan took two steps closer to Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao tapped Xu Fan's bulging belly with chopsticks and said, "Look, your belly is getting bigger."

But Xu Zhao still took a bite by himself, and then fed Xu Fan another bite, Xu Fan was satisfied.

After eating, the father and son tidy up the small yard together, lock all the doors, then go to the hospital to accompany Xu's father and Xu's mother, and then go to Cui Qingfeng's house and take the popsicles to the intersection. Cui Qingfeng sells popsicles. .

Xu Zhao borrowed a shovel and began to fill in a small pothole at the intersection, just in time for Dad Dazhuang and the others to lay the foundation for the house.

As I was filling in, I suddenly heard someone shouting, "Xu Zhao."

Xu Zhao raised his head when he heard the words, saw who was coming, and then was slightly startled.
