Chapter 20 Selling Fish and Turtles
Soon after entering the village, Xu Tongdao saw Xu Weizu from a distance, holding a teacup and a cigarette in his hand, sitting on a small bamboo chair in front of the door and listening to the radio as usual.
Who is Xu Weizu?
Xu Weizu is one of the only two teachers in the village, and Xu Weizu is also the principal of Shiba Primary School.
But he has always despised Xu Weizu in his heart.
The main reason is not that Xu Weizu is too ghostly and likes to pretend, what Xu Tongdao looks down on most about Xu Weizu is...... Xu Weizu is greedy and greedy.
I still remember that when he was studying in Xu Weizu's class, Xu Weizu often sat on the podium during his morning self-study, gnawed on big meat buns, or whatever, and often gnawed his mouth full of oil, making many classmates in the class who couldn't afford to eat meat buns swallow their saliva.
And every time Xu Weizu noticed this scene, he would say to them: "What do you see, read me well! There is a golden house in the book, Yan Ruyu in the book, and a big meat bun in the book!"
Are you angry?
Anyway, as far as Xu Tongdao himself knows, there should be no one in their class who does not despise Xu Weizu.
It's so shameless!
Not only that, Xu Weizu also has athlete's foot, and his toes often itch, and then when he gives their class physical education class every week, he will always comfortably move a chair and lie on it comfortably with his fat body, and then call the boy with the worst grades in the class to come over and rub his toes......
Anyway, he can't be respected.
But his teacher's position has always been firm, and he was later promoted to the principal of Shiba Primary School, Xu Tongdao thinks there are probably two reasons.
First of all, it should be because there are too few excellent teachers in Shiba Primary School, there are teachers who teach the first and second grades of primary school, and there are also teachers who have not graduated from primary school but teach fifth grades......
In contrast, Xu Weizu's secondary school graduation is unexpectedly outstanding.
Secondly...... Xu Weizu can be a man, and it is said that he has a good relationship with the leaders above.
Of course, these are not Xu Tongdao's concerns, he saw Xu Weizu sitting in front of the door at this time, smoking, drinking tea, and listening to the radio, and the first thing he thought of was whether the old turtle in his fish basket could be sold to that guy.
He felt hopeful.
At worst, the black fish in the fish basket that is at least more than two catties old, Xu Weizu should also be interested.
Anyway, Xu Weizu's family is not short of money, and his mouth is greedy.
So, with a thought in his mind, Xu Tongdao showed a smile on his face and strode over, at his age, every time he saw Xu Weizu, he subconsciously avoided it.
But now, he was already almost forty years old before he was reborn, and he was not afraid of Xu Weizu in his heart.
As soon as he approached, Xu Weizu's half-squinted eyes opened, and he glanced at the fish basket on Xu Tongdao's waist, Xu Weizu's eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his chin and asked, "Xu Tongdao! Do you have fish in the fish basket?"
As he spoke, he licked his lips.
Xu Tongdao's smile became a little bigger, put down the shrimp rake in his hand, and walked over to let Xu Weizu look at the fish basket on his waist.
"Teacher Xu, I got an old turtle and a black fish, they are all freshly popped, they must be delicious when they are cooked, do you want them?"
"Hey, you're lucky! You've got an old turtle, huh...... This old turtle is beautiful! The stew must be a great supplement, by the way, are you willing to give it to me?"
Xu Weizu is not only greedy, but also likes to take advantage of small advantages.
This point is clear to Xu Tongdao.
I'm reluctant to eat it myself, so I'll give it to you?
Xu Tongdao chuckled in his heart, of course he wouldn't say that.
"Teacher Xu, you are really joking! My family is almost out of food, are you embarrassed to take my old turtle for nothing? Hehe, with your character Teacher Xu, even if I really give it to you, you will definitely not want it!
Xu Weizu looked up at Xu Tongdao in surprise, probably surprised that Xu Tongdao was so good at talking.
will talk to him.
It's true that he likes to take advantage of small things, but he also has a good face.
So, he nodded, and said with a smile: "You kid still understands me! I used to be your teacher, and I have heard about the current situation of your family, hehe, of course I will not take advantage of one of your children, so right! You leave me that black fish and old turtle, and I will give you one hundred and fifty yuan, do you like it?"
"What's wrong with this? Anyway, you used to be my teacher!"
Xu Tongdao said beautiful words in his mouth, quickly untied the fish basket on his waist, and said while unraveling: "Teacher Xu, go get something to load it, it doesn't matter if the black fish can't run away, but the old turtle has long legs ......."
"Good!
Xu Weizu agreed repeatedly, but his body didn't move, he just turned around and shouted to his family, "Xiaomei! Xiaomei! Hurry up and bring a bucket, hurry up!!"
Xiaomei is his wife.
Because he has an agricultural household registration and farms at home, he is used by Xu Weizu as a servant on weekdays.
"Hey, it's coming!"
There was an answer from the back of the house, and the sound was quite pleasant.
Not long after, I didn't see the bridge, I saw a woman who still had charm coming out with a red plastic bucket, and when she saw Xu Tongdao, she gave him a smile, "It's Xiaodao! How did you do in the exam this year?"
She was originally a small melon seed face, but with Xu Weizu, a greedy mouthful, over the years, she has already become plump, at least in this Xujia Village, among women of the same age, no one looks better than her, although plump, but not bloated, and her temperament is much stronger than other women in the village.
The clothes are also closer to the style of the people in the city.
For example, in front of her, she is wearing a sleeveless dress, showing off her good figure.
It's just that because I usually farm, my skin is not too white.
Seeing her, the first thing that flashed in Xu Tongdao's mind was her niece.
Xu Tongdao remembered that her niece would come to her house for a period of time every year, and she looked a little similar to her, but she was more beautiful.
In other words, everyone has a love for beauty, and he Xu Tongdao has liked it before.
Of course, that's a thing of the past.
Right now, he didn't have that mind for a long time.
At that moment, while answering her question, he quickly caught the turtle and the big black fish from the fish basket and put them into the bucket she brought.
When he was done with this, Xu Weizu asked him to go into the house with his wife to get the money.
After getting the money, Xu Tongdao politely said goodbye to them, carried a fish basket in one hand and a shrimp rake in the other and went home.
earned another hundred and fifteen, so that he felt more at ease, the price of goods is not expensive these years, and the tuition fee for junior high school is not expensive, with this one hundred and five, plus the money he asked for back yesterday, his family's life should be able to pass for the time being.
At least his younger brother and sister's tuition fees for the next semester must be fine.
