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

While eating, Xu Tongdao chatted with Xu Changsheng.

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

Xu Tongdao: "......"

Dumbfounded, Xu Tongdao was about to ask the question just now more accurately, Xu Changsheng suddenly reacted, "Oh, you're asking if I'm going out to earn money now, right? Hmm, I'm working as a small worker behind my uncle, hehe, I can be regarded as a bricklayer!"

After another chopstick of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth, Xu Changsheng turned his face to look at Xu Tongdao, and said with a smile: "What about you? You should take the high school entrance examination this year, right? I remember that you did well in school when you were a child, how about it? Can you be admitted to the examination this time?"

Xu Tongdao laughed at himself, "Haven't you heard about the recent situation in my family? My dad ran away, so no matter how well I did in the exam this time, I can't continue to study." ”

......

The two chatted while eating, chatting and chatting, and comforted each other.

Xu Changsheng's life is not easy, and Xu Tongdao's life will not be easy to see, the two chatted and chatted, and they sympathized with each other.

Xu Tongdao of the original time and space, after his father's disappearance, his personality became more and more withdrawn, rarely took the initiative to chat with others, and he had been holding back a lot of energy in his heart, wanting to improve the life of his family with his own efforts, so he had fewer and fewer friends, and gradually became a lonely person with few friends.

It wasn't until much later that he slowly realized that people like himself don't have any high education and no noble support, and if they want to get ahead, they actually have more friends...... The road could be a little easier.

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

It's a pity that by the time he realized this, he was almost thirty years old, and his former friends had not been in touch for many years.

And the man who is almost thirty years old...... Wine and meat friends are easy to make, true friends, but it is difficult to make them again.

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

Just like yesterday, when he saw Xu Tonglin, he thought about changing the fate of Xu Tonglin who drowned.

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

He didn't want to be a recluse person like the original plane.

He also wants to make a few friends, the genuine kind.

By the time the meal was over, he and Xu Changsheng had become a lot closer.

After all, they have played together a lot since they were children, and they were originally small and 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 polder shouting in surprise, "Good news, good news! Hehe, the water level in the river has dropped, and it has taken a while to drop almost a foot, which is great! Hehe, captain! The water level has dropped so much, we don't need to pick a ridge this afternoon, right? Hehe. ”

This news made everyone react differently, and most people were surprised, happy, and a little confused.

"What? Really? Erlaizi, you're not lying, are you? With just one meal, the water level in the river can drop by more than a foot? How is this possible?"

"Tsk, it would be great if the water level really dropped by more than a foot!"

"It's not going to be somewhere, is it?...... If Er Laizi didn't lie, it must have broken somewhere, otherwise it would not have been possible for the water level to drop so quickly......"

......

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

Xu Tongdao felt that it was very possible if the water level in the river really dropped by more than a foot so quickly.

In his memory before his rebirth, during the rainy season this year, there were indeed many places that broke down.

And breaking the polder means that a section of the river embankment bursts, which means that the turbulent river water pours into an area, turning that place into a country.

It also means that thousands of families will become victims, crops in the fields will be flooded, houses will be flooded, and food and livestock will be washed away by the floods......

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 won't have to pick and choose this afternoon, which is of course good news.

But at the same time, it also means that thousands of households in a polder area have been completely affected.

"Trail, let's go take a look on the polder?"

Xu Changsheng, who was beside him, proposed to Xu Tongdao in a low voice.

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

Before lunch today, they knew where the water level in the river was.

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

But at this time, they stood on the outer edge of the polder, and they really saw that the water level in the river had indeed dropped by more than a foot.

"Hey, great, we're much safer, okay!"

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 to suddenly drop so much.

Xu Tongdao's feelings are much more complicated.

But that's all, he is now just a small person 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 a disaster like Po Wei.

Sighing secretly, he tilted his head to Xu Changsheng, "Let's go! I've seen it, our lunch box hasn't been washed yet!"

"Whoa! ”

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 that had just been passed down from above, and their team didn't have to pick a head ridge in the afternoon.

As soon as this notice was announced, except for Xu Tongdao's faint expression, everyone in the courtyard was overjoyed.

There is no money to take, so everyone naturally doesn't like it.

So, in the afternoon, Xu Tongdao and the others were completely idle, chatting and chatting, playing cards, and the women who knitted sweaters and soles also took out sweaters and soles.

Xu Tongdao and Xu Changsheng, two young people, seem to be a little idle.

The two sat under the eaves, Xu Changsheng pursed his lips in boredom, scratched his crotch, turned his face and asked, "Hey, Xiaodao! Shall we just sit like this for an afternoon? This is too boring!"

Xu Tongdao also felt a little too idle, so he simply got up, "Why don't we go around this village?" Anyway, it's not raining now." ”

For Xu Changsheng, maybe no matter what he was asked to do at this time, he would be willing, as long as he didn't continue to sit here.

"Okay! go, go!"

He immediately got up, full of interest.

So, the two began to wander around this village together.

Walking around, Xu Tongdao suddenly heard a few "bleating" sheep calls, and his eyes subconsciously looked over, and he saw dozens of white sheep of all sizes in the large yard of a family not far away.

Moreover, it seems that they are all sheep.

It's not the kind of goats that some people in their Xujia Village raise.

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