Chapter 385 He is really rich and generous!
Tong Hongwen felt that what Wu Ping said made sense. He was indeed tired of staying at home for such a long time.
Several brothers who used to play well with him now dared not associate with him. How could his family allow them to get close to a person who had been in prison?
This would not be a good thing! The
main thing is that he is a young man. He either eats steamed bread or drinks porridge with less than two grains of rice all day long... He
is hungry every day and has no energy at all. It is better for him to be in prison. At least he is full every day!
He has lost a lot of weight in the past six months. He can't stand not having any oil or water for such a long time.
Tong Hongwen: "Okay, I'll go to the mountain this afternoon."
He didn't eat much during this period, and he didn't have the energy to go to the mountain to hunt game. If it weren't for Tong Xiayue's request today, he probably wouldn't have gone up the mountain.
There isn't much game on the mountain now. As the New Year is approaching, many villagers sneak up the mountain to get some game to store for the New Year, and some just pickle it after hunting.
Tong Hongwen went up the mountain and worked hard for an afternoon, but he only hunted a pheasant and a dozen pheasant eggs...
He also saw a hare, but he was really exhausted and couldn't catch it.
It was already late when he went down the mountain. He thought he would go to find Tong Xiayue the next day, so he took the things back to Tong's house.
As soon as he entered the door, Tong Zhaodi saw a pheasant in his hand. She immediately became excited and jumped up from the stool: "Oh! Brother! What's the weather like today? You can actually go up the mountain to hunt?!"
Tong Hongwen glanced at Tong Zhaodi who was about to drool, and said lightly: "I advise you not to have any bad thoughts. This is not for the family to eat. You have to give it to others tomorrow!"
Tong Zhaodi was unhappy to hear his words: "What's the condition of our family? Giving it away? We haven't seen meat for a long time! If you can kill a pheasant, why don't you go to the mountain to get some for us to eat?!"
Tong Hongwen was speechless when he heard it: "If you want to eat, can't you get it yourself?"
After that, he left without turning around!
He put the pheasant he had just shot in his room. He really didn't trust his family...
He didn't have the energy to go up the mountain again...
The next morning, Tong Hongwen changed into clean clothes and walked towards Ji's house with the pheasant and eggs he had shot yesterday.
I had heard from Li Aihua that the Ji family would spend the New Year in Yangliu Village this year, so they wouldn't leave so early.
Tong Hongwen was still a little nervous when he walked to the door of Ji's house. He stuck his head out and looked into the yard.
He saw a girl with a fair face and a good figure, wearing a blue floral shorts, bending over and teasing the three children.
Is this...
Tong Xiayue?
Tong Hongwen couldn't believe his eyes. In his impression, although Tong Xiayue was pretty, she definitely didn't look like a city girl!
It seems that she has had a good time in the past two years!
Tong Xiayue also heard the noise outside the door. She turned around and saw a familiar figure in front of her: "Tong Hongwen?"
Ji Jiashu happened to be standing by the well. When he heard Tong Xiayue's voice, he turned around and saw that it was Tong Hongwen!
Seeing that she recognized him, Tong Hongwen no longer hesitated and walked in with the pheasant in his hand: "Sister Xiayue, this is what I just caught when I went to the mountain last night. You can take it and try it."
Tong Xiayue remembered that Tong Hongwen had been arrested before, and she was really surprised to see him appear in front of her: "You are out?"
Tong Hongwen embarrassedly scratched his head with his other hand: "Well, I've been out for half a year."
Seeing that Tong Xiayue had no intention of taking the pheasant, Tong Hongwen put the thing directly on the ground: "Sister, I have been reformed, and I know I was wrong. I heard that you are back, so come and see your little nephews."
After saying that, he squatted down and reached out to touch Erbao in front of him. Seeing this scene, Ji Jiashu quickly walked up to him and stopped.
Tong Hongwen put his hand away awkwardly and looked up at Ji Jiashu: "Jiashu, long time no see!"
Ji Jiashu ignored him and nodded slightly to greet him.
Tong Xiayue looked at Tong Hongwen: "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Tong Hongwen didn't expect her to be so direct, but she really didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, so she said directly: "Sister, to be honest, I have looked for many places after I got out, but no one is willing to hire me... I have really changed, alas... I just wanted to come and ask you to help me see if you can introduce me to a job."
Now Tong Xiayue finally understood what he meant, but they hadn't contacted each other for such a long time, and he was like that before, no one dared to guarantee that he could really change in more than a year!
Introduce a job?
It's not such a simple thing, if
you are not careful, you will also be in trouble. Tong Xiayue had severed ties with the Tong family a long time ago, and she didn't want to get involved with them at this moment: "Take the things back, I can't help you with this matter."
Hearing Tong Xiayue's words, Tong Hongwen was stunned. He had been humble since he came in, what else did he want from him? He
is really rich and arrogant! !
He is not willing to help even if I introduce a job!
Tong Hongwen said excitedly: "Sister, what's wrong? Now that I have become rich, I can't ask you for help?"
Tong Xiayue shook her head: "I have no relationship with the Tong family anymore, don't come to me in the future."
After that, she turned around, picked up Dabao, took Erbao and called Ji Jiashu to go home.
Tong Hongwen stood behind him, watching the five of them leave without looking back, and he was still angry...
After entering the house, Ji Jiashu looked at Tong Xiayue: "Wife, are you okay?"
Tong Xiayue said indifferently: "It's okay, I really don't understand, what are the Tong family thinking, what good have they done? How can they have the nerve to ask me for help?"
Ji Jiashu comforted: "Don't worry about them, they deserve what they have today!"
Tong Xiayue: "With Tong Hongwen's character, how dare I introduce him to a job? Don't let anything really happen, and then it will implicate me!"
Tong Xiayue's mood for the whole morning was ruined by Tong Hongwen. Fortunately, Ji Jiashu took her to the town in the afternoon, and she felt better.
………………
After Tong Hongwen returned home, Wu Ping hurried over to greet him: "How is it?"
Along the way, Tong Hongwen got angry when he thought of the rosy faces of the five members of his family. He himself had become so thin, but he didn't even know to show some pity to him?
"He refused to help!"
After saying that, he threw the pheasant in his hand aside and stuffed a net bag of eggs into Wu Ping's hand.
Wu Ping was also angry when she heard what Tong Hongwen said: "Are you so unkind?! You are living well, is it so difficult to lend a hand and do a small favor?!"
Tong Zhaodi heard the noise, walked out the door and saw the pheasant on the ground: "Didn't you say you were going to give it away? You're not going to give it away?"
Wu Ping was angry at this moment, and she felt uncomfortable when she heard what Tong Zhaodi said, so she turned around and left.
Tong Hongwen glanced at her and walked forward: "No, I won't give it away! Let's have meat tonight!"
