Xu Tongdao took advantage of the time to boil the bath water and answered a bunch of questions from his mother, younger brother, and younger sister.

Tonight he jumped into the river to save people, although he had changed his clothes, but the river was muddy, and he was very uncomfortable, so as soon as he got home, he went to the kitchen to boil water and prepare to take a bath.

Xu Tonglin was so frightened by a snake that he fell into the river, and when he said it from Xu Tongdao's mouth, Ge Xiaozhu, Xu Tonglu, and Ge Yuzhu were all startled.

Especially when he heard that no one dared to go into the water to save people at that time, but Xu Tongdao jumped into the river to save Xu Tonglin, Ge Xiaozhu's face turned pale with fright.

Even though Xu Tongdao was in front of her at this time, she still couldn't help but worry, and asked what happened next......

Xu Tongdao had no intention of scaring them, so he naturally understated the result.

"Mom, has the fever on your body subsided?"

Xu Tongdao thought of this and hurriedly asked.

Ge Xiaozhu smiled with relief, "I'm much better, you don't have to worry!"

Xu Tongdao was not at ease, got up and touched his mother's forehead, and then touched his own forehead, his brows furrowed slightly, his mother's fever had not subsided.

"Did you take the medicine at night?"

"Well, I'll eat it! I'm sure I'll be fine tomorrow, you don't have to worry about me! By the way, I'll go to Shangwei tomorrow, right? Mom won't dare to let you go. ”

"No, Mom, go to sleep! Yuzhu! Give you a task, you will sleep with your mother tonight, remember to touch your mother's forehead at night, once you find that your mother's body temperature is too high, you remember to come and notify me and your second brother quickly! Remember?"

In the latter sentence, Xu Tongdao instructed his sister Ge Yuzhu.

Ge Yuzhu was very well-behaved and hurriedly nodded in response.

Ge Xiaozhu frowned, "No, I took the medicine, and I should be able to reduce the fever tonight, so let's just say it! I'll go to Shangwei tomorrow, and you and your brother and sister will be fine at home." ”

Xu Tongdao shook his head, "Mom, don't fight with me, don't say that you may not be able to retreat tonight, even if you can retreat, you will definitely not have much strength tomorrow, so leave the matter of Shangwei to me! I'm different from Xiao Linzi, I'm not as timid as him, and I'm not like him who can't paddle, well, that's it! Yuzhu, you help Mom to rest, I'll take a shower and sleep." ”

"Hey, okay, big brother!" Ge Yuzhu hurriedly held her mother's arm and whispered to her mother to go back to the room to rest.

Ge Xiaozhu still wanted to argue, but Xu Tongdao just shook his head.

......

When the mother and sister left, only Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglu were left in the kitchen.

Xu Tongdao sat at the mouth of the stove and lowered his head to light the fire, Xu Tonglu sat on the head of the water tank, his feet were hanging in the air, his brows were furrowed, and he looked at Xu Tongdao in silence.

Xu Tongdao raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said lightly: "You don't go to sleep yet, what are you doing here?

Xu Tonglu was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly spoke: "Mom said that you plan to work to earn money......

After a pause, he added, "What if you get into high school?

Xu Tongdao lowered his head, took a piece of firewood and put it in the stove, and hummed lightly.

Xu Tonglu's brows furrowed even tighter, and he suddenly jumped down from the water tank, raised his voice, and said, "No! I don't agree! If you don't get into high school, forget it, but if you do, then I'll go to work to earn money, and I'll provide for you!"

Hearing him say this, Xu Tongdao was not excited.

He raised his eyes to look at Xu Tonglu with a calm expression, and his tone was still very flat, "I didn't discuss with you, and you don't agree with it, you can't change my decision, and ...... I'm your brother! It's not your turn to make money! Unless I, Xu Tongdao, am incompetent and can't support you with the money I earn, I won't have an opinion on what you decide at that time!"

"No! What kind of big brother are you going to be with me? You're a year older than me! I don't need you to earn money for me to study, and I don't want to study anymore!"

Xu Tonglu categorically objected, looking excited.

Xu Tongdao squinted at him for a while, slowly got up, walked over, walked in front of Xu Tonglu, his eyes were sharp, stared at Xu Tonglu's eyes closely, and said in a low voice: "I said, I didn't discuss it with you! Xu Tonglu! I warn you, if your next grades drop badly, I will break your legs! I am the boss! It is my responsibility to make money, and your responsibility ...... If you don't get into high school next year, I'll break your legs!"

Xu Tongdao, who has such sharp eyes, Xu Tonglu has obviously never seen it.

Therefore, under Xu Tongdao's fierce eyes at this time, Xu Tonglu couldn't help but take half a step back, but the recklessness in his bones made him feel ashamed, so his face quickly turned red, and he stiffened his neck and shouted: "Why do you care about me! You are not my father......! You may not be able to beat me......"

He was very angry and shouted loudly.

But he didn't understand the temper of Xu Tongdao, who was reborn, and before he finished speaking, he saw Xu Tongdao suddenly stretch out his right hand, and his five fingers pinched Xu Tonglu's neck fiercely, and his eyes glared fiercely.

Xu Tonglu hurriedly broke Xu Tongdao's hand with both hands, but he hadn't broken it here yet, Xu Tongdao's left hand was also used, and his hands were holding Xu Tonglu's neck tightly, no matter how Xu Tonglu struggled and pulled, he couldn't break it.

His mouth shouted intermittently and with difficulty: "You, you let go!!Xu Tongdao! Lao Tzu told you to let go! Don't force Lao Tzu!"

The more he shouted, the tighter Xu Tongdao pinched.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

There were footsteps in the hall and suspicious inquiries from my mother and sister.

In the kitchen, Xu Tongdao pushed his younger brother Xu Tonglu away, pushing Xu Tonglu with both legs on the water tank behind him and almost falling down.

"Don't think I'm joking with you! Xu Tonglu! You remember for me, I will have the final say in this family in the future! I will let you study hard, you will study hard for me! If you dare to be disobedient, I will whip you!"

After lowering his voice and scolding Xu Tonglu, Xu Tongdao turned his head and shouted to the side of the hall: "Mom! It's okay! You go to sleep quickly!"

Mother Ge Xiaozhu and sister Ge Yuzhu were still not at ease, so the two came to the back door of the hall and looked into the kitchen.

Xu Tongdao, who had just finished cleaning up his younger brother, gave them a smile back.

And Xu Tonglu, who had just been cleaned up, kept a straight face and tilted his head without saying a word because of his good face.

When the mother and sister saw that the brothers were fine, they were still suspicious, but they did not come to the kitchen.

"Then you guys should go to bed early! Our family is already difficult enough, you brothers can stop making conflicts, and save your mother some snacks, okay?"

Mother Ge Xiaozhu couldn't help but tell them.

"Don't worry!

Xu Tongdao responded with a smile.

Xu Tonglu glanced at him coldly, pursed his lips, and still didn't say a word.

Mother and sister went back to sleep.

Xu Tonglu looked at Xu Tongdao angrily and fearfully, gritted his teeth, and turned around and strode away.

As a result, Xu Tongdao was the only one left in the kitchen.

He didn't want to do anything to his brother like he did just now, he really didn't want to.

But he knows very well how rebellious his younger brother is in his bones, especially after his father disappeared, he is lawless at all, and he doesn't listen to anyone.

Xu Tongdao is not confident that he can control this unconscious younger brother just by saying it with his own mouth, and he will go to the county to find a job to earn money in a few days at most, and he will definitely not have time to watch Xu Tonglu every day in the future.

Therefore, seeing Xu Tonglu's unruly appearance just now, he couldn't help but do it.

At that time, he thought: Since the reason doesn't make sense, let's do it! Let this kid be afraid of me in the future, it is better than him not being afraid of anyone and continue to be lawless.
