In Zhang's hometown, he slept until the afternoon of the next day, when Cheng Xiaodong eased up, ate something, and didn't stay long, so he went to his village.

Not long after entering the village, Cheng Xiaodong heard the sound of drums, and listened carefully, the sound was exactly the same as the day his parents died.

"Ma Chengming, are you back?"

Originally, Cheng Xiaodong thought that he would go back to inform Cai Jianguo and Chen Lianhua, and then go to Ma Chengming's house to see how he was doing, but he didn't think about it, and met him at the entrance of the village.

Ma Chengming ran over with a bunch of things, sweating profusely, and looked at Cheng Xiaodong breathlessly.

"Dongzi, I'm fine, I came back with my dad yesterday, how are you, is the injury serious?"

Ma Chengming threw the things in his hand on the ground, walked over to Cheng Xiaodong, touched his arm and checked his leg, his eyes were full of anxiety.

"I'm fine, it's just a little skin trauma, I heard last night that you asked the police station to take it away, and I almost scared me to death."

Cheng Xiaodong let out a long sigh, leaned against the wall behind him, looked at Ma Chengming and smiled, suddenly attracted by the sound of drums, pointed in the direction of the village, looked at Ma Chengming and asked, "By the way, what's wrong with this family?" ”

"Grandpa Geng is dead."

Ma Chengming said that this Geng Grandpa is Zhou Zhiwu's next-door neighbor, that is, the old Geng who made dumplings and harmed Zhou's pigs in the last two days, has no children and no daughters in his seventies, and his wife depends on each other, he has a son in the early years, I don't know why, he suddenly got sick and died, speaking of which, it is still strange to the poor old couple.

"It was gone last night, and my dad said it was rat poison."

Ma Chengming picked up the things on the ground, put them under his buttocks, sat on them, leaned against the wall, and looked at Cheng Xiaodong and said.

Cheng Xiaodong sighed, he didn't say anything else, he knew that he couldn't manage anything now, and he couldn't manage it, his father still drank pesticides and died, and he didn't say a word to himself before leaving, and he didn't even give an explanation, so he resolutely followed his mother, who would have thought about it.

"Dongzi, do you miss your parents?"

This drum music sounds sad and vicissitudes, not to mention Cheng Xiaodong, even Ma Chengming is sour when he listens to it, not to mention that Cheng Xiaodong, whose parents have just left, can't get out.

Cheng Xiaodong didn't speak, closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and leaned there.

Ma Chengming didn't say much, for fear that he would not pay attention to one of his mouths and touch Cheng Xiaodong's sad place, so he sat next to him and quietly accompanied him.

"Dongzi, why don't you go home when you're back?"

Hearing Chen Lianhua calling himself from afar, Cheng Xiaodong and Ma Chengming both looked over, Chen Lianhua had a white cloth tied around her waist and waved her hand at the two of them.

Cheng Xiaodong slapped off the horse and became famous, and the two of them ran towards Chen Lianhua's release together.

"Dongzi, let Auntie see, what's wrong with your injury?"

Chen Lianhua looked at Cheng Xiaodong's arm nervously, he heard Zhang Lao say that Uncle Cai Jianguo and Aunt Chen Lianhua went to Zhang's hometown to see him last night, and when they saw that they were asleep, they didn't wake him up, and they went back overnight.

"It's okay, you see I haven't come back by myself because of nothing."

Cheng Xiaodong opened his hand as he spoke, turned around, and showed that his injury was not so serious.

"You go home first, Dani is at home, I still have to go to Lao Geng's house, don't forget to eat, I'm all in the pot."

Chen Lianhua touched Cheng Xiaodong's face, and when she saw that he was fine, she was relieved.

Cheng Xiaodong responded, so he asked Chen Lianhua to go to work first, followed Ma Chengming to gossip a few words, and then went home.

When Cai Dani heard Cheng Xiaodong coming back, she hurriedly ran out to pick him up, saw that he was fine, and instantly pulled him to the house with a smile.

"Dani, slow down."

Although Cheng Xiaodong said that he walked back by himself, he was still weak, and Cai Dani almost tripped on the threshold when he pulled it like this.

Cai Dani smirked at Cheng Xiaodong for a long time, making Cheng Xiaodong at a loss, looking at her uncomfortably.

"What are you laughing at?"

Cheng Xiaodong looked at Cai Dani, asked with embarrassment, and touched his face, thinking that he had rubbed something on his face.

"I'll show you what it is."

Cai Dani took out a homework book from the homework book on the kang table and handed it to Cheng Xiaodong, the "excellent" in it was very eye-catching, Cheng Xiaodong turned a few pages back and forth, his brows furrowed more and more tightly, and with a snap, he threw the homework book on the kang table.

Cai Dani was so frightened that she trembled, looked at Cheng Xiaodong timidly, and didn't dare to say a word.

"Who asked you to do my homework for me!"

Cheng Xiaodong's tone was unusually cold, looking at Cai Dani's eyes, there was no closeness and gentleness in the past.

"I, I was anxious for you because I saw that you couldn't do it that day, so I wrote my homework for you."

Cai Dani's tone trembled, and as soon as she raised her eyes and touched Cheng Xiaodong's eyes, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at it a second time.

Cheng Xiaodong took the homework book, tore it off directly, and walked out.

Cai Dani also chased him out, Cheng Xiaodong returned to his home, sat on the threshold, stunned, and Cai Dani looked at him from a distance.

"Come here, why are you standing so far away, I won't hit you."

Cheng Xiaodong pointed to the stool outside the threshold and asked Cai Dani to come and sit, Cai Dani hesitated, walked over slowly, and didn't look at Cheng Xiaodong when she sat down, cautiously.

"Next time I'll do my own thing, I won't do my homework, you tell me, don't write my homework secretly."

Seeing that Cheng Xiaodong was no longer angry, Cai Dani smiled like a flower and nodded desperately.

Looking back at the kitchen of his outhouse, Cheng Xiaodong looked at Cai Dani in a daze, suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, got up and told Cai Dani to sit there and not move, walk to the vegetable garden wall by himself, and walk into the house with a broken dustpan.

"What are you doing with dust?"

Cai Dani stood on the threshold, watching Cheng Xiaodong squatting at the stove door to pick up ashes, and asked suspiciously.

"I'm here to burn the kang today, I'm also a big child, I can definitely do such a little thing, you stay away, and you will be covered in ashes."

Cheng Xiaodong knelt on one leg as he spoke, pouting his ass and began to pick up the ashes, and when he raised his head again, Cai Dani looked at the ash on his face, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Laughing at Sazi, isn't this normal, sometimes, I see that my dad is still black-faced."

Cheng Xiaodong waved his hand, followed Cai Dani to finish, suddenly thought of Cheng Qian, couldn't help sighing, the smile on his face disappeared, and walked out with a dustpan.

Cai Dani behind her stood at the threshold, looking at his thin and thin figure, and sighed secretly.

"Dani, come on!"

Cheng Xiaodong's voice outside the gate was heartbreaking, it didn't sound right, Cai Dani hurriedly ran out.
