Village Chief Xu didn't have the heart to eat breakfast, so he waited for his eldest son to come back and ask, but when he saw him enter the door, he couldn't help frowning, "What's the matter?" ”

This is too disobedient, could it be that Xu Huaiyi did something to stimulate him?

Xu Changsong hurriedly said Xu Huaiyi's words.

After hearing this, Village Chief Xu's excited beard was trembling, "Really? Great, this is really dozing off and someone sent a pillow, did Huaiyi say where it was? How many exactly? When can I pick it? ”

When Xu Changsong heard this, he didn't answer immediately, but asked with a tangled expression, "Dad, do you think it's appropriate for your son to ask Huaiyi directly?" ”

It's like asking where someone's money is hidden, how thick do you have to be cheeky to get it out?

Village Chief Xu snorted at him with a look of disgust, "If you ask others, it's really a bit annoying, and the other party may not be willing to say it, but Huaiyi won't, he will definitely be willing to tell you." ”

Xu Changsong was puzzled, "Why are you so sure?" ”

Village Chief Xu endured it, but he still couldn't hold back, and scolded, "You elm pimple, if he doesn't want to say it, he just makes an excuse to fool you, and what are you doing when you find those things?" Is he as heartless as you? ”

Xu Changsong suddenly apologized, "Dad, don't be angry, it's your son who is stupid......"

"You're stupid!" Village Chief Xu scolded two more sentences angrily, and then scolded, "What are you doing in a daze?" What did Huaiyi say? Or did you not ask at all? ”

Xu Changsong said hesitantly, "My son asked, but Huaiyi said that the place is not easy to find, and when it can be picked, who wants to go, follow him into the mountain is ......."

Village Chief Xu was stunned for a moment, "Can everyone go?" ”

Xu Changsong said uncertainly, "Huaiyi didn't say that he wanted to hide it, so he can go, right?" ”

Village Chief Xu was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Huaiyi is really kind and benevolent......"

Xu Changsong, "......"

Did his father forget that Xu Huaiyi broke the legs of three people with his own hands just a few days ago? Xu Youtian is still lying on the bed wailing, Dr. Jiao gave him a splint, and he will know what it looks like after three months, if he doesn't raise it well, he will become a cripple, and now the people in the village, who still praises him for his kindness and benevolence, it is definitely ironic.

Village Chief Xu was not ironic, he sincerely sighed and instructed his son, "Since Huaiyi doesn't want to eat alone, then you can release the news, let the big guys follow suit, don't make up Huaiyi to be ruthless behind your back, can you care about the life and death of others?" ”

After speaking, seeing that his son was a little disapproving, luckily, he said earnestly, "In a good harvest year, it is nothing to give others a bite to eat, even those big families take out a large amount of rice grain for disaster relief, which may not be really kind-hearted, but at the moment, the person who can give up a bite to eat from others is designated as a great good person." ”

Xu Changsong's heart shook slightly when he listened.

Village Chief Xu thought of something, and advised, "Forget it, cover this matter for a few more days, and when Huaiyi says when you can pick it, you can spread it out again, so as to save extraneous branches." ”

"Yes, Daddy......"

This is seven or eight days.

When Xu Changsong wanted to wonder if he had been dumped, Xu Huaiyi finally told him that he would be able to go into the mountains tomorrow to pick those walnuts, chestnuts, jujubes and so on.

Xu Changsong responded in a trance, and after he left, he couldn't help but talk to his father, "Why does he have to wait until this time?" Tomorrow will be August 14th. ”

The set day for escaping the famine is to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, August 16, that is, the day left for everyone to pick, at most two days.

Village Chief Xu muttered, "It seems that there are not many things, two days is enough, and yes, if there were such a large number of trees in the mountain, we should have discovered it a long time ago." ”

Xu Changsong thought about it, and it was also this reason, which dispelled his doubts.

"You hurry up and spread the news, who wants to go to the foot of the mountain tomorrow morning and wait, sooner rather than later, not later."

"Yes, Daddy......"

Xu Changsong was busy passing the word, but it is conceivable that tonight, how many people are muttering the name Xu Huaiyi behind this matter.

"What does he mean by Xu Huaiyi? Is this afraid that others will scold him for being too ruthless, and no one dares to deal with him, so he pretends to be generous and has a good impression of himself? ”

"I don't think it's like, who is willing to give so much food and buy a few kind words for others? Right now, all you eat is a treasure, is he kind or stupid? ”

"Hmph, it may also be a lie, maybe there are only two or three trees on the mountain, and they are still shouting to the whole village to pick them and grab them?"

"Is there something else going on here?"

"Who knows what he's up to!"

"Shall we go tomorrow?"

"Go, why don't you go? He can still trick the whole village into the mountains and break his legs! ”

“……”

This stalk with a broken leg can't get by.

The next day, before dawn, some people rushed to the foot of the mountain, all dressed in sharp shorts, carrying baskets and baskets, and machetes pinned to their waists.

Everyone met on the road and played haha with each other.

"Third cousin, are you going too?"

"Hehe, just follow and take a look."

"Aren't you afraid of being cheated by him?"

"What about so many people, besides, this time he took the initiative to take everyone to pick things, it is not considered stealing, he can still break our legs?"

“……”

At the foot of the mountain, more and more people gathered, all the men, most of them were light and strong, and there were also a few older ones, and the village chief Xu came the latest, so he took a detour to call Xu Huaiyi.

The two of them talked, and they didn't seem to have the slightest disagreement.

The group of villagers who were waiting saw it, and their thoughts were different.

Someone muttered in a low voice, "The village chief is big enough, and when something like that happens, he can still talk and laugh, and he deserves to be the person who can be the village chief......"

Someone said meaningfully, "He's still useful." ”

Useful people, can they still kick away for a little? Is Xu Youtian worthy?

The Xu family also came a lot of people this time, Xu Maoyuan took his youngest son, and the two of them were also whispering, "Dad, I see that the village chief is closer to Huaiyi, why is it closer than before?" ”

After that incident, everyone thought that the two would be estranged.

Xu Maoyuan said in a complicated tone, "This is Huaiyi's ability......"

Xu Huaixiao didn't know what to say, so he changed the subject, "Second uncle's family, none of them came." ”

When Xu Maoyuan heard this, he was immediately a little annoyed, "Do they still have the face to go out?" Have a face stained with righteous light? ”

Xu Huaixiao "uh", scratching his head in embarrassment, the topic he turned to is obviously more unwise, too, Xu Huaili did the ugly thing of the pit brother behind his back, which affected the reputation of the entire Xu family's male grandson, and his father came to the door, but the second uncle only scolded Xu Huaili a few words without itching, and this kind of punishment was perfunctory at first glance.

Obviously, they are not ashamed of Xu Huaiyi, but they, the Xu family, can't wait to cover their faces with their sleeves when they go out, or the fourth uncle came forward and made Xu Huaili beat him with twenty sticks, and knelt in the ancestral hall for another day, so that the matter could be revealed.

But the lost face is not something that can be recovered in a while.

However, the Xu family has something to say, and recently they have been shouting that it was their Xu family who had a black heart and taught Xu Youtian badly, so he became a thief and suffered a broken leg.
