Chapter 23: Found 1 flock of sheep

   "By the way, what are you doing now?"

   While eating, Xu Tongdao chatted with Xu Changsheng.

   Xu Changsheng: "Eat! Can't you see it?"

  Xu Tongdao: "..."

With a dumb laugh, Xu Tongdao was about to ask the question more accurately, Xu Changsheng suddenly reacted, "Oh, you are asking me if I have gone out to make money now, right? Well, I am now doing a small job behind my uncle. Hehe, you can be considered a bricklayer!"

Putting another chopstick of braised pork into his mouth, Xu Changsheng turned his face to look at Xu Tongdao, and smiled: "What about you? You should take the high school entrance examination this year? I remember that you did well in your studies when you were a child, how? Can you pass the exam this time?"

  Xu Tongdao laughed at himself, "Have you not heard of the recent situation in my family? My dad ran away, so no matter how I did this exam, I can't continue studying."

  ...

   The two talked while eating, and they comforted each other as they chatted.

   Xu Changsheng’s life was difficult, and Xu Tongdao’s life would not be easy if he watched. The two chatted, and they felt sympathy for each other.

Xu Tongdao in the original time and space, after his father disappeared, his personality became more and more withdrawn. He seldom took the initiative to chat with others. He kept simmering in his heart. He wanted to improve his family's life with his own efforts, so his friend Less and less, gradually became a lonely family with few friends.

   It wasn't until a long time later that he slowly realized that people like himself had no high education, no support from noble people, and wanted to get ahead, but actually had more friends...the road might be easier.

   For example, doing something on weekdays, if you have a few friends to help, it will definitely be much easier.

   Unfortunately, when he realized this, he was almost thirty years old, and his former friends had been out of touch for many years.

   A man who is almost 30 years old... Alcohol and meat friends are easy to make, but true friends are difficult to make again.

   Therefore, when he was reborn, his mentality was very different from that of his original time and space.

   Just like yesterday, when he saw Xu Tonglin, he wanted to change Xu Tonglin’s drowning fate.

   Just saw Xu Changsheng, he also subconsciously wanted to get closer to Xu Changsheng.

   He didn't want to be a lonely person like Yuan Shikong.

   He also wants to make some friends, the kind that really matter.

   By the time a meal was over, he and Xu Changsheng were already close.

   After all, they have spent a lot of time playing together since they were young. They were originally young friends, good friends.

When the two of them finished eating and were about to find a place to wash their lunch boxes, they suddenly heard a villager who had just come down from the heng yelling in surprise, "Good news, good news! Hey, the water level in the river has dropped. It’s almost a foot away, great! Hey, Captain! The water level has dropped so much, we don’t have to pick and add a ridge this afternoon, right? Hey."

   This news caused mixed reactions. Most people were surprised and happy, and a little confused.

   "What? Really? Bum, are you lying? With this meal, the water level in the river can drop by more than a foot? How is this possible?"

   "Hey, if the water level drops by more than a foot, that would be great!"

   "Where did it break down, right? Hmm... If the **** didn't lie, then it must have been broken somewhere, otherwise it's impossible for the water level to drop so fast..."

  ...

   Xu Tongdao and Xu Changsheng did not say anything, but they both stopped to listen to everyone's discussion.

   Poxu's argument, Xu Tongdao thinks it is very possible, if the water level in the river really drops by more than a foot so quickly.

   In his memory before his rebirth, during the rainy season this year, many places were indeed broken.

   Breaking through the **** means that a section of the river embankment has burst, which means that turbulent river water floods into an area, turning that place into a country.

   also means that thousands of households will become victims. The crops in the fields will be flooded, the houses will be flooded, the food and livestock will be washed away by the flood...

   At this moment, he frowned, and he couldn't say whether he was happy or unhappy.

   Because if the news of the drop in the water level is true, then they probably don’t really have to pick and add the ridges this afternoon, which is of course good news.

   But it also means that thousands of households in a certain polder area have been completely devastated.

   "Trail! Let's go to the porch to see?"

   Xu Changsheng next to him whispered to Xu Tongdao's proposal.

  Xu Tongdao nodded, turned around and put the lunch box into the kitchen, then walked out with Xu Changsheng, and walked up to the pilgrimage not far away.

   Before lunch today, the two of them knew about the water level in the river.

There are still traces of the original water level on the wader!

   But at this moment they were standing on the outer edge of the porch, but they really saw that the water level in the river had indeed dropped by more than a foot.

   "Hey, great! Now we will be much safer, good! Great!"

   Xu Changsheng was very happy to see that the water level in the river had indeed dropped a lot.

   He probably didn't even think about what it meant when the water level suddenly dropped so much.

   Xu Tongdao felt more complicated in his heart.

   But that's all. He is now just a small common man who is running for the livelihood of his family. No matter what he feels in his heart, no matter what he thinks, he can't do anything in the face of disasters like Poxu.

   sighed secretly, he turned his head to Xu Changsheng, "Let's go! I've seen it, and we haven't washed our lunch boxes yet! Go!"

   "Hey! Hey. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

   Xu Changsheng happily followed quickly.

  ...

   Sure enough, because the water level in the river suddenly dropped a lot, it didn't take long for the captain to convey the notice just passed on, and their team didn't have to pick and add headers in the afternoon.

   As soon as the notice said, except for Xu Tongdao's faint expression, everyone in the yard was overjoyed.

   The drudgery of picking and adding the first ring, and there is no money to get it, naturally everyone doesn't like it.

   So, in the afternoon, Xu Tongdao and the others completely idled, chatting, chatting, playing cards, and women knitting sweaters and shoe soles also took out sweaters and soles.

  Xu Tongdao and Xu Changsheng, the two young men, seem to be a little bit idle.

   The two sat under the eaves, Xu Changsheng pursed his mouth boredly, scratched his crotch, turned his face and asked, "Hey, trail! Shall we just sit there for an afternoon? This is too boring!"

  Tongdao Xu also felt a bit too idle, so he just got up, "Should we go around in this village? It's not raining anyway."

   For Xu Changsheng, maybe at this time, no matter what you call him to do, he will be happy, as long as he doesn't continue to sit here.

   "Okay! Go! Go!"

   He immediately got up, full of interest.

   So the two started to hang out in this village together.

While strolling around, Xu Tongdao suddenly heard a few "bleating" sheep calls, and looked over subconsciously. He saw dozens of large and small white sheep in the large yard of a family not far away. Activities in the yard.

   Moreover, it seems that they are all sheep by visual inspection.

   is not the kind of goats raised by some people in their Xujia Village.

   Looking at the dozens of sheep in the big yard, Xu Tongdao's eyes narrowed slightly, thoughtfully.
