Xu Youcheng visited Xu's father once after returning from labor reform, but he never showed up at other times. He usually lived a dutiful life in the village and never made any troubles again.

However, he came here this late at night, is he looking for trouble?

Xu Zhao was a little puzzled.

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."

It wasn't for Xu Zhao.

Xu's father looked at Xu Zhao and Xu's mother.

Xu Zhao and Xu's mother are just like passers-by to Xu Youcheng and Xu Zuocheng. They usually don't know how to say hello when they meet in the village, and they don't think that they will have anything to do with them. , So at this time, I turned a blind eye to Xu's father's gaze.

But Xu Youcheng had already approached the door, Xu's father still got up, 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.

Xu's father glanced at Xu Zhao and whispered, "He's here to borrow money."

"What are you borrowing money for?"

"It's to make up for the second baby's mother."

"What's wrong with the second baby?"

"The second baby's mother gave birth to a girl, and she didn't have enough milk, so she wanted to eat something meaty, and—"

"What else?" Mother Xu asked again.

Xu's father added: "There is also the second child who has been complaining of stomach pains recently. He may have worms in his stomach. He wants to buy some insect repellent medicine and take a bite. He borrowed money from the villagers, but the villagers dare not lend it to him. The new wheat is harvested. It couldn’t be sold, there was really no other way, so I found us here.”

Mother Xu fell silent after hearing this.

Father Xu bowed his head and remained silent.

Xu Fan continued: "Father, Erwa's stomach hurts."

Xu Zhao looked at Xu Fan and asked, "Erwa really has a stomachache?"

Xu Fan nodded: "Well, the second baby hurts and cries."

"Crying in pain?"

"Ah."

"When?"

"That, that, two days." That means the pain has been going on for a while.

This era 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, Erwa was still young and hadn't done anything bad. He couldn't help but look up at Xu's father and asked, "Did you lend him money?"

Xu's father replied: "No." He asked his younger son to pay for his own medicine, and he was very clear about the younger son's filial piety to him.

"Then lend him 20 yuan." Xu Zhao said.

Father Xu was taken aback.

Mother Xu looked at Xu Zhao.

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

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

Mother Xu didn't speak.

Xu Zhao looked at Father Xu and asked, "He didn't leave, did he?"

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

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

"You don't need to let him in, just write outside the courtyard." Father Xu said.

"That's fine too."

Xu Zhao got up and went into the West Wing to get a pen and paper, handed it to Father Xu, and quickly cleared up the waiting room outside the courtyard, allowing Father Xu to deal with Xu Youcheng, while he returned to the dinner table and continued to eat dumplings with Mother Xu and Xu Fan, unable to bear it. Keep asking: "Xu Fan, does your stomach hurt?"

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

"Have you ever been in pain?"

"No."

"If it hurts, tell Dad immediately, you know?"

"I know." Xu Fan nodded, and then called: "Dad."

"Ok?"

"I also eat a dumpling."

"..."

"I, I will eat the last one."

"Row."

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

"Dad." Xu Zhao called out.

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

"Is he all right?"

"No, it's just that it's been too miserable. I gave him 20 yuan, and he cried first, just like when he was a child." Xu's father wiped his eyes, picked up his job bowl, and said, "Eat and eat."

After all, it is my own son, no matter how bad or evil, there will be a soft and continuous blood relationship in the bottom of my heart. Xu's mother and Xu Zhao both understand this, and no one will expose it. Let Xu's father 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, while Xu Zhao took Xu Fan to the big dealer's house for a stroll, and took a look at the newborn Da Nier, and then took Xu Fan back home, took a bath, lay on the bed, and While fanning, Xu Fan fell asleep while telling a story. Just as Xu Fan was about 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.

"Sleeping." 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."

"Is there no money for the phone bill?"

"I will talk to you even if I want money."

Holding the phone, Xu Zhao raised the corners of his mouth, sat slowly at the table, looked at the moon outside the window, and chatted with Cui Dingchen. After chatting for about an hour, Xu's mother got up to go to the toilet and asked who Xu Zhao was talking to. Only then did he hang up the phone, lay down on the bed by the moonlight, hugged the chubby Xu Fan in his arms, kissed him, and after ten seconds of hugging, he found that Xu Fan was as warm as a small stove.

So hot.

Xu Zhao pushed Xu Fan away again, lying on the bed, looking at the pitch-black beams, surrounded by Cui Dingchen's sweet voice, couldn't help jumping in his heart, so excited that he couldn't fall asleep normally, he didn't fall asleep until late at night.

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

Xu Zhao was shocked immediately.

Mother Xu smiled and said, "Uncle Cui has been here for a long time, and he 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'll deliver you a bicycle, and I'll pick watermelons with you later."

Xu Zhao asked, "You, are you really not busy recently?"

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

"Then have you had breakfast?"

"No."

"Eat here later."

"Okay." Cui Dingchen immediately agreed.

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

Xu Zhao's ears turned red.

Cui Dingchen laughed out loud.

Xu Zhao's ears turned redder.

Xu Fan didn't know anything, and said, "Father, Second Master Cui touched my hand."

Xu Zhao: "..."

"Father, Second Master Cui has used me, my porcelain basin."

Xu Zhaohan gave an explanation: "He'll use it if it's okay, it's not going to get in the way."

"It's okay." Xu Fan repeated.

"Yes, it's okay."

Hearing that he was fine, 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 the opportunity to take advantage of Xu Zhao. He had breakfast with Xu Zhao, then helped Xu Zhao's family pick watermelons and harvest wheat, and went to the county town to sell watermelons with Xu Zhao. This continued for several days until the Dragon Boat Festival was over. On the first day of the festival, the big speakers in the village began to notify every household to go to the grain station to pay the public grain.

It just so happens that the big girl is full moon on this day, so I want to hold a simple full moon banquet. Xu's father and Xu's mother went to Li's house to help, but Xu Zhao couldn't help much. He was afraid that there would be too many people paying the public rations tomorrow, so he decided to pay the public rations today , Just as the grain of the two families was put on the ox cart, Cui Dingchen came and happened to go to the grain station with Xu Zhao and Xu Fan.

Unexpectedly, there was still a long queue at the grain station, but Xu Zhao didn't, so he had to ask Cui Dingchen to park the ox cart behind the line, and they waited. Coincidentally, only the place where they were located was exactly under the sun. There was no shade in the trees, and the hot Xu Fan frowned.

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

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

"Cool down?" 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 obediently beside Xu Zhao without running around.

Then Xu Zhao looked at Cui Dingchen and said, "Uncle, thank you for your hard work."

Cui Dingchen nodded: "It was very hard work."

Xu Zhao said with a smile: "Next year, I won't have to work so hard to pay the public rations."

"Is it right to pay directly next year?"

"Well, I'm going to plow the land after it rains, and then build greenhouses on my family's and Brother Li's land to grow greenhouse vegetables."

"How many acres in total?"

"More than eight acres of land, I will expand it after earning it for 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, let's go to the city tomorrow."

"How long?"

"not sure."

Xu Zhao didn't answer.

Cui Dingchen looked at Xu Zhao with raised eyebrows, and asked, "What? Can't bear me?"

Xu Zhao hurriedly lowered his head to look at Xu Fan, saw Xu Fan was concentrating on playing with toys, then raised his eyes to Cui Dingchen again, but ignored Cui Dingchen's words, glanced at the food station, and said with emotion: "Time flies so fast."

Cui Dingchen asked: "Why did you say that suddenly?"

Xu Zhao stretched out his hand and pointed at the grain station, "Last year, Brother Li and I sat in line to pay the grain."

Cui Dingchen said: "I know."

"you know?"

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

"What are you looking at me for? You didn't know me then, did you?"

"We know each other." Cui Dingchen reached out to hold Xu Zhao's hand, and said, "I always hear Qingfeng mentioning you, so I just want to see you and see if you can lie to Qingfeng."

"I lied to Qingfeng?" Xu Zhaozhen never thought that Cui Dingchen would have such a thought.

"Well, you were a smart child in my heart at that time." Cui Dingchen looked at Xu Zhao with burning eyes, and said truthfully: "I have no ill intentions towards you, mainly because Qingfeng is very simple and has never experienced anything, so I I just wanted to see you, but I didn't expect to see you—"

Xu Zhao asked expectantly, "What happens next?"

The corner of Cui Dingchen's mouth slightly raised: "I was attracted by you after that."

Xu Zhao suddenly felt sweet, his eyes were soft and bright, which made him look even better. Just at this moment, the breeze blew by, and a willow leaf fell on Xu Zhao's shoulder, attracting Cui Dingchen's attention.

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

"Xu Zhao." Cui Dingchen called out in a low voice.

Xu Zhao looked at Cui Dingchen intently.

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

Xu Zhao was taken aback.

Xu Fan immediately picked Cui Dingchen's palm with his small meaty hands, and asked childishly, "Father, who is it? Who, who covered my eyes?"
