"Is it an eye-opener, are you interested in planting lychee trees with me?" Lu Yao asked.

"Of course there is! But if such a big thing happened to me today, Chen Gong and the proprietress should know, will they still want me? Definitely won't want me! When the wound on my head is healed, I will immediately go down the mountain to look for a job, and I will rely on you to carry it for me in the next few days! Hey, watering these lychee trees is also modern, right? I walked all the way and saw a faucet with a shower every fifty meters, are they electric?" Ning Hao asked.

"What's electric? Is such a tall lychee tree watered? It all has to be connected to a plastic water pipe and watered manually. Lu Yao replied.

They came to the edge of the lychee forest in the east, Lu Yao explained to Ning Hao the requirements and precautions for pruning, and after making a demonstration, they began to prune the redundant or dry branches on the lychee trees.

Two hours later, they sat under a lychee tree to rest and drink herbal tea, and Lu Yao asked, "Ning Hao, have you written a letter to send money to your family?"

"Before going up the mountain, Wu Jingsheng insisted on taking me to the Fuwei Village Post Office to send money, so I sent 100 yuan home, and the letter was also written at the post office. Ning Hao wiped the sweat from his face and said.

"You should have received your salary twice, right? Did you send a hundred yuan home and write a letter?" Lu Yao asked.

"Yes, do you think I have the good fortune of you, meet a good boss, and pay you three times your salary? Besides, I don't have anything to do at home, and I don't have anything to say when I write to them. Ning Hao said.

"The day before yesterday, I received a letter from home, saying that your mother went out to borrow money from relatives and slipped down the slope into the cornfield, breaking one of her calves, ······"

"What? My mother went to borrow money from relatives and broke her leg? Who said that? How could this be?" Ning Hao asked with his mouth wide open in panic, and the herbal teacup in his hand also fell to the ground.

"It's my fifth sister who said it in a letter. Your mother went to a relative to borrow money because your father was kidnapped by someone led by the village chief and had to be sent to the town police station. The village chief, they still want to tie up my father. Lu Yao said.

"Why? What kind of mistake did my father and your father make? And they have to be tied up and taken to the town police station! Aren't they bullying people, aren't they bullying? Causing my mother's leg to be broken!" Ning Hao shouted hysterically with red eyes.

"The village chief suspects that the two of us stole 20 yuan for the renovation of the school. Lu Yao looked at Ning Hao and said lightly.

"Ah, why does the village chief suspect that the two of us stole the construction money? Since he suspects that it is the two of us, why did he arrest our father? Does he understand the law?" Ning Hao roared angrily. But his eyes didn't dare to look at Lu Yao.

"Ning Hao, in our village, the village chief is the sky and the earth. What the village chief said is a golden rule, who would dare to oppose it? If you are at home, do you dare to oppose it?" Lu Yao asked.

"Of course I don't dare to object to what the village chief has done right. But if he arrests people for no reason, I dare to oppose it!" Ning Hao lowered his head and said.

"Over the years, have you seen the village chief make mistakes?" Lu Yao asked.

"I haven't done anything wrong before, but this time he led someone to arrest our dad and caused my mom to break her leg, he was wrong!" Ning Hao raised his head, wiped a handful of tears, and roared resentfully.

"Ning Hao, my whole family and I are sad that your mother fell and injured her leg. When my father paid your father fifteen dollars for the journey, he also paid twenty dollars for your mother's treatment. This time, I wrote a letter to my family and said that I asked my father to take another 100 yuan to your mother to heal her injuries. I believe that your mother's leg injury will heal soon, so don't be too upset. Lu Yao comforted.

"Where did you get so much money in your family? Oh, you got three times your salary last month. Okay, I've made a note of your affection. I still have more than 100 dollars on me, but I can't give it back to you now, because it's what I'm keeping for a job. I'll pay you back when I get paid next time. Ning Hao said.

"I treated my aunt's injuries for this hundred yuan, and it has nothing to do with you. Since I was a child, my uncle and aunt have taken care of me a lot, and I remember them all. This is a little bit of my heart, and it can be regarded as a return to the favor, we all hope that my aunt will recover soon. Ning Hao, are we still good brothers?" Lu Yao asked.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? You don't want to be a good brother with me?" Ning Hao asked with a glare.

"In my heart, in this life, you Ning Hao are my good brothers!" Lu Yao looked at Ning Hao and said solemnly.

In our village, who doesn't know that the two of us are good brothers who don't leave the scales? Lu Yao, you hear me clearly! In my heart, even if you don't recognize me as a brother, I will recognize you as a brother!" Ning Hao said loudly.

"Okay! we will always be good brothers!" Lu Yao picked up the herbal tea cup that Ning Hao had dropped from the ground, rinsed it with the herbal tea, poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it to Ning Hao, and raised his own herbal tea cup.

Ning Hao took the herbal teacup, clinked glasses with Lu Yao, and drank it all. He looked at Lu Yao calmly and said, "Lu Yao, I know, what do you want to ask me? Yes, I stole the twenty yuan of the village chief's project money, how are you going to punish me?"

"You can be honest with me, and explain that you still treat me as a brother, ······"

"Am I not honest? Isn't this the lice on the bald head—is it obvious? Since childhood, we have done bad things together, which one of them is not the one I provoked? Do you dare to do the thing of stealing chickens and dogs?" Ning Hao asked with a glare.

"My father has already paid the village chief 20 yuan for the construction of the school and the 10 yuan fine. You stole the twenty dollars, and used it for the two of us to get out, and I should bear it, and this matter is over. ”

"No, I stole the money, and of course I have to pay the responsibility. When I earn the money, I'll pay you back. Originally, I also planned it this way, we came out and earned money, and I went home and went directly to the village chief to plead guilty. Who knew that he would tie up our father to take the blame, and force my mother to go out to borrow money and break her leg?" Ning Hao said regretfully.

"How did you know that the village chief had twenty yuan for the project?" Lu Yao asked.

"Are you pretending to be confused? Didn't you report to the village chief that the walls of the small school in the village were cracked, the roof was leaking, and it needed to be repaired urgently? Didn't you write a report to the town to apply for a grant yourself? Didn't you and I go home with the village chief all the way home on the day the village chief went to the town to collect the money?" Ning Hao asked.

"How do you know where the village chief put the twenty yuan?" Lu Yao asked.
