Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1181 Fate or ill fate?

The two men got in the car, and Xie Zhiyuan took out the fried cake that his wife had just packed for him from his arms, opened it and handed one to Old Man Liu.

Looking at the greasy pancake in front of him, Old Man Liu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, you guys keep it and eat it. I'm not hungry! Besides, I have to come back after I send you off. It's not too late to eat it when I come back."

After that, Old Man Liu said with a smile: "I ate Xiaoyu's buns yesterday."

"Yesterday is yesterday, and today is today. Brother Liu, hurry up and collect the things. Don't I understand? You ran out to see us off so early in the morning, and when you come back you should send the villagers to the commune. How can you have time to eat? Hurry up and collect the things!"

Zhang Yu also joined in.

Seeing this, Old Man Liu reluctantly accepted the oil cake.

But he was reluctant to eat it, so he found a clean leaf to put it in his arms.

In response, neither Zhang Yu nor Xie Zhiyuan said anything.

This kind of thing is very common at this time.

Just like when Zhang Yu was repairing the house, those who came to help would intentionally leave the meat in the bowl and take it back for their wives, children and parents to eat.

A father's love is silent, but it is expressed in actions.

The three of them were talking as they rushed to the town. Coincidentally, the two teams, who had no intersection at all, bumped into each other when they were almost reaching the town.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

The person driving the donkey cart did not seem to be Old Man Liu, but a veteran with many years of experience.

At the moment the two donkey carts collided, they controlled the donkeys to move to the other side and prevented them from overturning.

But it was different for the other side. At the moment the two donkey carts collided, the frame was thrown out and turned 90 degrees. The mother and son who were catching up on sleep in the cart were directly thrown out.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu and his friends didn't care about anything else. After checking that the three of them were fine, they jumped out of the car and ran to save people.

Running to another donkey cart and looking at the young man who was thrown out, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh at fate.

However, when he thought about the collision yesterday, Zhang Yu didn't know what to say.

Is this fate or a bad fate?

The moment Zhang Yu saw the other person's face clearly, the other person also saw Zhang Yu and Old Man Liu.

Seeing the two of them, the young man smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Fortunately, although the mother and son were thrown out, they were covered with a quilt, so the quilt flew out with them when they were thrown out, just in time to block the mother and son.

The two were just a little dazed by the fall, but they were not seriously injured.

After he came to his senses, he slowly stood up with the help of Zhang Yu and others.

After moving his body a little and making sure that no bones were injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The mother and son brushed the dust off their bodies and picked up the quilt on the ground.

The overturned donkey cart has been lifted up and straightened by Zhang Yu and his team.

Compared to the mother and son, the man driving the car was fine.

After reacting, he looked at his sister and nephew nervously: "Sister, are you okay?"

The woman put the quilt back into the car and smiled at her brother: "Brother, I'm fine. Let's go quickly, or we won't be able to catch the bus to the county town."

Upon hearing that they were also going to the county town, Xie Zhiyuan said: "What a coincidence, we are also going to the county town!"

After that, he asked with some concern: "Are you okay? Do you want to go to the clinic?" The woman shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay!"

The man driving the car looked even more guilty: "It's my fault. I thought that few people would go to the commune at this time, so I was careless. Brother, are you all right?"

Old man Liu also waved his hand: "No, I'm fine, don't worry about me, you can't be blamed for what happened today, I'm also wrong."

To be honest, today's incident is indeed not the responsibility of one party.

Old Man Liu was used to driving, and he knew that there were not many people around at this time, so he let the donkey go faster.

He was just talking to the person behind him and ignored the possibility that someone might come from the fork in the road.

Since both parties were fine, they quickly got on the donkey cart and headed to the commune. After all, the bus to the county town doesn't wait for anyone.

After arriving at the commune, they were relieved to see that the bus to the county town had not yet left.

There were not many people on the bus. Although Zhang Yu and his friends arrived late, they were still able to find seats after buying tickets and getting on the bus.

Zhang Yu found a seat by the window and heard the mother and son asking the conductor when the bus would leave.

Facing the envious gazes of everyone in the car, the conductor raised his wrist to show the watch on his wrist.

After looking at it, he replied, "There are still 20 minutes."

The woman thanked him and then looked at her brother who was waiting outside the car. She waved at him and said, "Brother, you should go back first. The team is very busy these two days and we may need the car again."

"Okay, I'll go back right away. You two should be careful on the road."

Although he was still a little worried, the man did not stay here for long. He waited for another 20 minutes. When he saw that the car had left and the Wang family did not come, he breathed a sigh of relief and drove the donkey cart back.

The team does have some work to do these two days, so he has to go back and help.

On the way back by car, the man happened to meet Old Man Liu.

The other party was also a little worried, and only drove back after watching the car drive away.

Both of them are good drivers in the village. Although there is a ten-year age difference between them, they can still talk to each other.

As they chatted, they started talking about this year's drought.

When talking about this, there was no trace of joy on the faces of Old Liu and the other man.

The man looked worried, "Brother, I won't hide it from you. You should have heard about the situation in our brigade. There isn't much land there, and everyone is just making do. Our brigade is the poorest in this area.

I don’t know what happened this year, the weather was so weird that the stream that we used for watering dried up a long time ago, so we had to draw water from the well to irrigate the land.”

If their brigade wasn't so poor, the Wang family wouldn't dare to treat his sister like this.

"Oh!" Speaking of this, Old Man Liu couldn't help but sigh.

"Our brigade isn't much better. Starting today, we have to carry water for irrigation. It's all the fault of those idiots in Tugouzi brigade. They cut off the water..."

When the man heard Old Man Liu cursing the Tugouzi Brigade, he became interested and started cursing along with him. His words were even more vicious than Old Man Liu's.

Old man Liu looked at him in surprise. He remembered that the other brigade had nothing to do with Tugouzi Brigade, nor did they share a river like Xiejia Brigade and Tugouzi Brigade.

Seeing the confusion in Old Man Liu's eyes, the man angrily told him about the hardships his sister and nephew had suffered in Tugouzi Brigade, emphasizing the Wang family's domineering, viciousness and unreasonableness.

Of course, he still kept it a little bit secret and didn't tell anyone about what happened to his brother-in-law.

But even so, Old Man Liu felt angry for them when he heard it.
