Chapter 226 70 The Educated Youth Heroine's Excellent Sister-in-law 11
Before I reached the door of my house, I saw Xiao Tiedan walking towards me on the path opposite. However, there was something wrong with his expression. His little face looked so gloomy that water might drip from it.
This kid is usually very happy when he comes home. After all, arriving home means it's time to eat. This kid is very particular about food.
What happened today? Xiao Yun saw that the other party looked up and saw her sister, but she didn't run over with a smile, and she was still walking slowly at the same speed as before. She had to speed up her pace and arrived at the door at the same time as him.
While reaching out to open the bolt, she looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Are you being bullied at school? No way, with your fighting ability, it's good enough that you don't bully others."
Xiao Tiedan sighed like a little adult, and did not reply immediately. Instead, he followed her into the house, scooped half a bucket of water and drank it, then whispered: "Sister, my deskmate Zhang Zhisheng did not come to school today."
Xiao Yun was puzzled. "You are depressed because your deskmate didn't come to school? Are you two so close?"
My little brother is only nine years old in age, so he shouldn't be in a premature love relationship. Although the name sounds like a boy's, many girls nowadays also give boys' names, so it's hard to say.
Xiao Tiedan sighed again, rubbed his face and said: "My deskmate and I have a good relationship. He is a good student. I usually ask him when I don't know something. Today, I saw that he didn't come to school, so I asked a classmate from the same village as him. As a result, the classmate said that their village and the neighboring village had a fight for water yesterday, and Zhang Zhisheng's father was beaten to death..."
Xiao Yun paused while hanging the kettle and frowned slightly.
Although it hasn't rained much since the Chinese New Year and drought has begun to show signs, it's not necessary for someone to die over a little water, right?
"Which village is your deskmate from?"
She thought it probably wasn't a village near them, otherwise it would be impossible for them not to have heard the news. Don't underestimate the speed of news spreading in rural areas nowadays. Although there is no Internet, rumors spread faster than the Internet. What happened in the morning, other villages would know about it in the afternoon.
Xiao Tiedan: "Zhang Zhisheng is from Erdaogang Village, which is the opposite direction to where we are going to the township."
Hey, this name is really familiar. Isn't this the village where White Snake lives? It is indeed quite far away from them, on the other side of the town.
It is about ten miles from their place to the town, and more than ten miles from the town to Erdaogang Village. It is indeed not close according to the current distance.
Xiao Tiedan usually brings lunch with him when he goes to school. After all, it takes more than half an hour to walk there and back, which means he doesn't have time to get back at noon.
Today is Saturday and I only have half a day of classes, so I just came back at noon.
Xiao Yun had been to Erdaogang Village with Jiaduobao before. They originally wanted to meet the White Snake, but they didn't even find the old man. It was unknown whether he had received any warning, but he just disappeared.
She even disguised herself and pretended to go and ask for information, but it turned out that the villagers there didn't know where he had gone. They all said that the person suddenly disappeared without saying goodbye to anyone.
Xiao Yun thought about the terrain over there and realized that it was indeed possible that they would run out of water earlier than they did.
It's different over there from their side. They are backed by a mountain with spring water and a deep pool. The stream flows down from there, so they have a water source and at least they don't have to worry about it for now.
But Erdaogang Village is one of the few plain areas in the town. The drinking water there all depends on wells, which means it all depends on groundwater. The only visible water storage is a large pit dug out between Erdaogang Village when building houses.
The stored water is all rainwater, and it dries up as soon as it stops raining. It is indeed more difficult to get water than here, and it is normal for them to fight for water.
In the previous life, all the family money was taken away by Hu Yunxia, and Xiao Tiedan did not go to school in town. He was taught at home by his original body, so it is not known whether this happened or not.
If someone were to die over a little water, it would not be a good sign.
I thought about what the old branch secretary had done before, asking everyone to go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting. I didn’t know if it was about the water problem.
Oh, by the way, now their Xiaao Village, Shangao Village and Xilingzi Village have been merged and renamed as the Qianjin Brigade. Then the three villages are counted as three squadrons, which are further divided into more than a dozen small teams.
In the original body's memory, fortunately they and Shangao Village were divided into one brigade, otherwise Shangao Village was upstream of them, and when the water level dropped, if the other party cut off the water source, Xiaao Village would not be able to get a drop of water.
Xilingzi Village was fine, because it was not in the same direction as them. A branch of the stream flowed through the other side of Xilingzi Village, which meant that the three villages formed a triangle with a main road running through the middle.
Seeing that his brother still had a gloomy face, Xiao Yun stroked his short flat head and said, "It was just an accident. There's no point in you feeling bad about it. Just comfort your deskmate when he goes to school. We can't do anything about this kind of thing."
Xiao Tiedan nodded. He knew that this was none of his business, but he was still feeling a little depressed.
He suddenly thought of his father. He was still young when the news of his father's sacrifice came. Besides, he had hardly seen him and had no impression of him at all. So, let alone being sad, he didn't feel anything at all.
He didn't feel bad even if his mother suddenly remarried. She seldom came home before anyway. As long as his grandparents and sister were still around, it made no difference.
But now that I'm older and have seen more, I also know that there is a difference between having a father at home and not having a father.
In particular, I heard from my deskmate that his father would often make some small toys for him and occasionally take him to the county for a walk. In the past, he would carry him on his shoulders when it rained or snowed. Now that he has grown up, it is not easy to do that, so he made a wheelbarrow specially for him and said that he would use it to push him in the future.
He regretted that it hadn't rained during this period. He wanted to try riding the cart. Xiao Tiedan was envious at the time, but he didn't expect that the cart would be gone after just a few days.
He couldn't describe the feeling. When the other party talked about the fun things he did with his father, he subconsciously brought the other party into his own father, thinking that if his father was still alive, would he also make small toys for him, and would he also carry him on his shoulders to prevent him from stepping on mud on rainy days...
