Break through seven zeros with space

Chapter 181

The courtyard is so big, and Xiao Tong has not been seen for four days. Naturally, someone noticed it. Seeing that Xiao Yi should go to work, eat, and not worry at all, everyone couldn't help discussing.

"Has any of you seen Xiaotong these two days?"

"No, it seems like I haven't seen anyone appear for two days."

"Yeah, I remember too, I haven't seen Xiao Tong for more than two days."

Someone pinched their hands and said, "It will take three days."

"Isn't his brother missing? How can he still eat?" Someone said sour words.

Although it is no longer the smell of big fish and big meat at the meal time, you can also smell a little bit of meat, and it is no longer vegetable dumplings. When Xiao Yi was washing the pots and bowls, someone found that what he ate was Polenta does not mix a little coarse grains.

Although the Lantern Festival has not yet passed, whoever celebrates the new year is not from the [-]th to the fifth day of the new year, and even many people have a better time on the [-]th and the first day of the new year at most, and the rest of the time is still the same as usual , should eat vegetables, eat vegetables, should eat coarse grains mixed with coarse grains, or eat like this.

What's more, the New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year are a little better, and it's not uncommon for people to tighten their belts in the following days.

The two Xiaoyi brothers used to eat vegetables and corn bread, and they also ate coarse grains mixed with coarse grains, but since they got in touch with Director Ye of Xiao He's unit, they have become incredible. There are fish and meat to eat .

Before, I always felt that it was not easy for these two brothers to live together, but now I saw that Xiao Tong was gone, and Xiao Yi, the older brother, still ate, drank, and went to work as usual, and he was not in a hurry.

What I ate was still clean cornmeal, which made people have to think about it.

"You won't die, will you?" Someone said suddenly.

When the others heard this, they turned to look at her, but no one answered.

This person has a bad relationship with Xiao Tong's brothers. The reason is that her son snatched half of Xiao Tong's vegetable nest three years ago and was pushed by Xiao Tong. She insisted on paying her son's medical expenses, saying that her son was broken.

The quarrel lasted for a whole day, and no one could persuade him to do so. They threw bowls and smashed pots, and finally got two catties of dried sweet potatoes from Xiaoyi, and then reluctantly stopped.

Two catties of dried sweet potatoes, she can really speak. These two catties of dried sweet potatoes are enough for two days of rations, so she was blackmailed away, and she didn't want to think about how the two brothers would live in the future.

Therefore, although they all lived in the same yard, no one wanted to talk to her family more, and occasionally they just said hello to each other.

Hearing such vicious words from her now, no one wants to answer them, just pretend they didn't hear them.

"Why, I'm not wrong." The woman had a pale face and slender eyes. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she shouted meanly: "Otherwise, why did she disappear for a few days? Maybe it was Xiao Yi Sell ​​my younger brother for meat."

"Mom Shitou, don't speak so harshly, who doesn't know that Brother Xiaoyi is kissing."

"Yeah, don't say that."

Two years ago, it wasn't that no one wanted to adopt Xiao Tong, but Xiao Tong didn't want to leave his brother, and Xiao Yi had to give away his brother, so he just gritted his teeth and took his brother to live.

Xiao Yi finally survived for two years until he was 15 years old. When he was recruiting workers in a furniture factory, he was recruited as an apprentice by virtue of his junior high school education level.

Shitou's mother pursed her lips in disdain, and hummed in a low voice: "Who knows, you are so kind when you are the secretary of the Xiaohe unit. If you have no relatives and no reason, who would give away big fish and meat to others? I guess, Xiao Yi just sold his younger brother to that officer."

"Anyway, I saw that the officer came over two days ago, and I haven't seen Xiaotong appear."

When others heard it and calculated it carefully, it seemed that Xiao Tong hadn't shown up since Secretary Ye came last time.

Although I think it is impossible, but think about it, Xiao Yi was unwilling to give away his brother two years ago, but it does not mean that he will not be willing two years later.Of course, there are very few people who have this guess, and most people still don't think that Xiao Yi will give away his brother, let alone sell him.

Now it is not like before, buying and selling people is against the law.Besides, these days, who would buy a half-grown boy, who eats a lot and does little work, and it's not a girl. In remote rural villages, it is possible to buy a girl as a child bride or something.

Of course Aunt He heard these gossips, and that night, during dinner, she also talked about the gossips she heard today.

"Boss, Xiao Tong hasn't been home for three or four days, have you heard what's going on?"

Xiao He was chewing on coarse-grain steamed buns, swallowed them quickly, and drank two gulps of the soup. After smoothing down the steamed buns, he said, "I haven't paid attention these two days, what's wrong?"

Aunt He said what she heard, and she was a little worried: "You said, Xiao Tong must be sick, right?"

She didn't think about it like the others, but wondered if Xiaotong was sick.

"No!" He Xiaomei waved her hands aside, and said, "Nothing, I happened to meet Brother Xiaoyi the day before yesterday, I asked, and Brother Xiaoyi said that Xiao Tong works at Director Ye's place."

"Working at Director Ye? No wonder." Aunt He was suddenly taken aback, no wonder Xiao Tong was not at home and Xiao Yi was worried.

Xiao He: "Mom, don't bother with those people, just be free, what are you talking about, you don't know Xiao Yi, how could he give Xiao Tong away. I guess, Xiao Tong is Dao Ye Let's go play at home."

As soon as the words finished, Xiao He was stunned suddenly, because in the afternoon, he vaguely heard someone saying that Director Ye's house seemed to be on fire, and Director Ye had asked for leave, and hadn't come to work for three or four days.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Cui quickly asked when she saw that Xiao He's expression was not right.

"No, it's nothing." If Xiaotong was at Director Ye's place, and Director Ye's house was on fire again, then Xiaotong wasn't...

Xiao He hesitated for a moment, but he didn't say what he heard.

He just listened to it when he was off work and didn't pay attention to it. In retrospect, it seems that what the person said was Director Ye.

But he is not sure about this, and besides, if Xiao Tong really has something, it is impossible for Xiao Yi, the elder brother, not to know, and there is no reason for him to be so calm, so Xiao He thought about it and decided not to talk about it.

Xiao Cui couldn't tell that Xiao He had something on his mind, but she didn't want to ask in front of the whole family. After dinner, she dragged Xiao He out, and after repeated questioning, she found out about it.

"Is this true?"

Xiao He shook his head: "I don't know, I just heard it, and I don't know if it's true. But I thought about it, and I really didn't see Director Ye appearing in the unit this week."
