At dinner in the evening, the stepmother enthusiastically put the peeled eggs in Tao Xueming's bowl.

This is the first time that the stepmother has peeled eggs for Tao Xueming for so many years.

But Tao Xueming didn't dare to move at all, his stepmother was a snob, if it weren't for his high scores, he wouldn't have given eggs to eat.

He gave the eggs to Dad.

"You eat, you eat, you learn to use your brain, I don't eat. ”

Dad brought the eggs back again.

Tao Xueming returned the simplicity again and said: "Dad, my son earns money outside, it is for you to spend, my son eats much better than at home, you eat eggs, and you have to eat two every day in the future." ”

Hearing his words, the stepmother's heart was sour, and she asked, "Taozi, what are you doing outside, how much money do you make a month." ”

"Not much, more than two hundred. Tao Xueming said.

"Can you make so much?"

The stepmother was shocked, most of the people's salaries were around forty or fifty, and the older workers who were a little higher were only eighty or ninety.

Two hundred a month, she didn't dare to imagine......

Tao Xueming looked at his stepmother's shocked look, and suddenly felt very funny in his heart, fortunately he didn't say too much, otherwise he wouldn't have scared the other party to death.

Two hundred, one is enough to raise its head in the village.

"Okay, how good it is......"

Dad smiled very happily, he showed the test paper to the boss today, no one believed it, no one could believe it, his son Tao Jianshu could actually get such a high score.

In the future, maybe the first college student in the village will be his son.

It's really a long face for the ancestors.

Tao Jianshu is going out now, all of them are holding their heads high, and no one will dare to look down on their father and son in the future.

Tao Xueming said: "Dad, I earned money outside, and I sent it back to you, you eat something good, and it is more important to take care of your body than anything else." ”

"Hey, you don't have to worry about me, you just take care of yourself. ”

Dad nodded with tears in his eyes.

The stepmother is even more sour.

She glanced at her daughter, she only knew how to eat, and she had such a low score, and she was instantly unhappy in her heart.

"Eat, you know how to eat, don't go back to the house to do my homework for me!"

The stepmother yelled.

Cai'e was frightened, tears fell down, from childhood to adulthood, her mother treated her like a baby, and never yelled once.

"Woo ......"

Cai'e ran into the room crying.

"I'm embarrassed to cry for me, when I come back with such a low score in the exam, my face will be lost to you!"

The stepmother said angrily.

Immediately, the stepmother picked up the broom and went directly into the house, and then there was the sound of being beaten.

Dad couldn't listen anymore and went into the house to persuade him.

Tao Xueming got up, walked to the door and sat down, and the villagers who had eaten a full meal came over to watch TV.

After a while, the stepmother walked out with an angry face, and the crying in the room had stopped, and it was estimated that she was beaten very badly.

Tao Xueming didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the two of them, and he didn't know what to do.

"Taozi, have you eaten it? ”

Bao Zhipeng jumped over, and then said: "I told my grandfather that he made a lot of money, but he was happy, and I gave my grandfather 500 yuan." ”

"Shhhhh......h

"At night, let's go to the roof of the bedroom. ”

Tao Xueming said.

"Okay. ”

Bao Zhipeng nodded, and then the two went to the roof, and the others gathered in the courtyard to watch TV.

The two were lying on the roof, looking at the stars and the moon, chatting.

"After the wheat was cut, the fry were almost the same, but I haven't found a buyer yet. ”

Tao Xueming has some worries: "We have to find a buyer as soon as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome." ”

Bao Zhipeng scratched his head and said, "Where do buyers go to find them, are they available in the city?"

"Nope. ”

Tao Xueming shook his head and said, "Our place is too small, and there are few merchants who can buy tens of thousands of pieces at a time." ”

"We can only find people who specialize in aquatic products, but there are very few such people, and we may have to find people from other provinces. ”

"I don't dare to go to other provinces. ”

Bao Zhipeng said in fear: "Haven't you heard, a group of people with red cloths around their necks have killed many people in other provinces, I am afraid of death, I dare not go." ”

Tao Xueming laughed, this is all a rumor, there is nothing at all.

But Bao Zhipeng was convinced of this matter and did not dare to go to other provinces.

"Is Taozi there? ”

Someone shouted in the yard.

Tao Xueming hurriedly got up and looked down to see that it was Uncle Niu of the third team.

"Uncle Niu, I'm on top, you come up and take it. ”

He waved his hand.

Uncle Niu came up the ladder, sat on the ground, and said with a smile: "Taozi, I heard that your exam is over, how many points did you score?"

"Hehe, I scored ninety-nine points...... Uncle Niu, do you have something to do here?"

"Hmm...... On behalf of the villagers of the third team, I came to ask about the fish fry. ”

Uncle Niu said, "How are those fish fry, are they done?"

"It's done, it's grown big, it's not a problem at all. ”

Tao Xueming patted his chest and promised: "Uncle Niu, you can rest assured that you will receive the money, the two thousand yuan you gave me can at least give you one or two thousand!"

Uncle Niu showed a pleased smile and said, "We don't dare to think that one or two hundred thousand yuan is enough, every household can earn more than ten or twenty yuan." ”

Tao Xueming exhaled lightly, then what do you think, you three teams trust me so much, it is impossible for you to suffer.

After the two chatted for a while, Uncle Niu left.

A few hours passed, and the people watching TV in the yard also went home one after another, and Tao Xueming helped move the TV back into the room.

Dad came over and asked, "Didn't Uncle Niu ask you?"

"What's the matter?"

Tao Xueming questioned.

Dad sighed: "Uncle Niu's son is sick and has no money in his hand, I thought he came to you ......"

Tao Xueming was surprised, Uncle Niu didn't mention this, and left after asking a few words.

"Dad, I'll go to Uncle Niu's house now. ”

Tao Xueming called Bao Zhipeng, and the two went to Uncle Niu's house together.

The third team, in the east of the village, Tao Xueming came over and found Uncle Niu's door.

It's a thirty or forty-year-old dilapidated house, not red bricks, it's a mud house, and the yard is not fenced.

"Uncle Niu, are you at home? ”

Tao Xueming shouted.

There was a bright light in the house, candles were lit, and after a while, Uncle Niu came out and asked, "Who?"

"It's me, Taozi. ”

Tao Xueming walked over and said with a smile: "Uncle Niu, are you sleeping?"

"No, I'm talking to my wife, you come in. ”

"I'm not going in. ”

Tao Xueming took out five hundred yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Uncle Niu's hand: "Uncle Niu, you take this money first and treat your younger brother." ”

"No, no, I can't ask you for money, it's too much. ”

Uncle Niu hurriedly waved his hand, not taking his money.

"Uncle Niu, it's important that my son is sick, I won't give you this money for nothing, I'll deduct it from the fish fry, do you think it's okay?"

Tao Xueming said.

Uncle Niu hesitated, his son had a very serious high fever and needed to see a doctor early, but he didn't want to take the money.

Bao Zhipeng suddenly said: "Uncle Niu, you take fifty yuan first, fifty yuan is enough." ”

"Brother Tao Zi, let's take my brother to see a doctor now. ”

Tao Xueming reacted, he immediately took out fifty yuan, and then asked Uncle Niu to take the child out.

Uncle Niu didn't refuse, so he hurriedly went back to the house, and after a while, the wife and his wife came out with their son in their arms.

Tao Xueming stretched out his hand and touched it, it was so hot, the burned child's face was red, and if he was not sent to the hospital, it was estimated that he would burn out.

"I'll carry him on my back, let's go to the clinic. ”

Tao Xueming picked up the other party and trotted all the way to the clinic.

There is only one clinic in the village, and seven or eight nearby villages also come to this place to see a doctor.

When Tao Xueming came over with people on his back, many people were still queuing.

"Uncle, uncle, take a look at me here first, the child is burning too badly. ”

Tao Xueming hurriedly put the person down, and the doctor in a white coat came over, touched the child with his hand, and blamed: "It's so hot, why did you send it over, hurry up and carry me in, and I'll give him antipyretics." ”

Tao Xueming picked up the person and put him on the hospital bed, and the other party closed the curtain and began treatment.

Uncle Niu and the two were anxious, Tao Xueming comforted: "It's okay Uncle Niu, my brother will be fine." ”

Uncle Niu let out a long sigh and could only wait.

More than ten minutes later, the doctor came over and said, "I have already taken the medicine, I will see the situation tomorrow, fortunately it was sent early, if I come over tomorrow, I will have to send it to the provincial hospital." ”

After hearing this, Uncle Niu and his family breathed a sigh of relief.

"Taozi, thank you so much this time...... I'll get down on your knees. ”

Uncle Niu's wife knelt on the ground crying, Tao Xueming hurriedly went over to help: "Don't, don't be like this, I can't stand it, you get up quickly." ”
