Feeling the warmth in his arms, Lin Fan felt very peaceful at the moment.
Regarding the pigeon market, Lin Fan didn't say much because he didn't want his wife to worry.
As for the fierce man he met by chance today, Lin Fan planned to take a look and get to know him after get off work today.
As the sky gets brighter and brighter, the courtyard begins to become noisy, and people who need to go to work start to get up.
After another meal, Lin Fan also said goodbye to Lin Xiaomu and went to work.
...
After a full day of work, Factory Director Yang called him and informed him that the commendation meeting would be held in two days.
When he got off work, Lin Fan did not go home immediately. Instead, he went to the place where he met Mengzi early this morning to inquire about it first.
After riding his bicycle into the alley, Lin Fan saw a man standing there. He parked his bicycle near the man and took out the cigarette from his pocket.
What should you do when you want to get some information you want from strangers but you don’t know them?
As a man, you can hand him a cigarette, and then you can move from stranger to familiarity.
Lin Fan: "Hey~comrade, do you smoke? Come on, have one."
Stranger: "Huh?"
Lin Fan: "Here you go, let me borrow a fire."
Stranger: "Hi~ Come."
At this time, the man directly put the cigarette in his mouth and took out a match to light it for Lin Fan.
Lin Fan: "Thank you~"
Stranger: "Why are you so polite~"
While talking, he also raised his cigarette, which made it obvious that he was a smoker and understood the problem of having cigarettes but not having fire.
It was at this moment that the two of them felt like they were the same kind of people.
Lin Fan: "Comrade, I'm looking at you~"
From this moment on, the two became familiar with each other and gradually started chatting about some topics.
After the two started chatting, starting from their work, family, then the world, and their neighbors, Lin Fan naturally brought the topic to Mengzi.
This man suddenly heard Lin Fan talking about Mengzi, and his voice suddenly became lower.
Then he started to talk with a tone of unbearableness.
Mengzi’s real name is Zhou Meng, that’s why everyone calls him Mengzi.
It was because his father was a bandit and was arrested not long after the founding of the country.
After his father was executed, he and his mother were taken to this alley.
Because his family background was really bad, his mother didn't have a job and could only take some jobs from the street, barely making ends meet for the two of them.
Mengzi is 17 years old this year, older than Lin Fan, but as thin as a 14-year-old child, which made Lin Fan mistakenly think that Mengzi is a child.
Although Mengzi is thin, he has only been dependent on his mother since he was a child, so he is a good fighter.
The reason why Mengzi kowtowed to Lin Fan was because her mother was ill and wanted to eat dumplings.
But Mengzi didn't have a job, his mother was sick, and the family had no income, so they couldn't afford the noodles and meat.
So Mengzi wanted to ask everyone to give him some meat and noodles.
But these days, everyone is having a hard time.
After hearing this, Lin Fan basically understood that Mengzi could kowtow to him for his mother.
You can be said to be a filial son, so the meat and noodles you give me are worth it.
After getting the information he wanted, Lin Fan handed the man another cigarette, chatted casually, and then rode back.
This fierce man can receive his subordinates, he needs them.
He can't find a job because his composition is not good, and his mother is sick, which means this tough guy needs money.
Then you can provide things to this fierce man. For his mother, the fierce man will definitely do his best to do things for him.
In this way, you can consider yourself doing a good deed.
When he went back, Lin Fan took another five kilograms of ribs from the space. He thought about the ribs, but the fat meat was still not as tasty as the lean meat.
Anyway, there is no shortage of oil at home, so there is no need to bring fat meat home.
Early the next morning, Lin Fan went out to work. Lin Fan saw an unexpected person at the door.
It's Mengzi.
I saw Mengzi squatting at the door of the courtyard with his arms crossed and shivering.
Mengzi was wearing a very thin cotton-padded jacket, which was shabby and shabby, but extremely clean.
It can be seen from this dress that Mengzi's mother is very clean.
The reason why Mengzi was so dirty that day was probably because his mother had been ill recently.
Lin Fan was very surprised, how did this fierce man find his position?
Could it be that he found out about the fact that he asked someone for news yesterday?
I looked at my watch and saw that it was still early, and the reform team had nothing to do right now. I could go there anytime.
Who makes the reform group the biggest?
Lin Fan walked up to Mengzi. When Mengzi saw Lin Fan approaching, he stood up excitedly and then knelt down again.
Lin Fan quickly stopped him, and without even kneeling down, he handed the noodles and meat to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was very confused. Mengzi might have noticed Lin Fan's confusion and said, "My mother said that you are a good person, so she asked me to keep our noodles and meat, and I will bring back the rest to you."
Hearing Mengzi's words, Lin Fan felt very sad. This child and his mother are both grateful people.
Mengzi then said: "My mother is dying. Brother, I will send my mother away after the Chinese New Year and then come here to listen to your orders."
After saying that, he knocked his head on the spot again, stood up, turned around and left.
Lin Fan looked at Mengzi's background and felt unspeakably uncomfortable. He shouted to Mengzi: "Wait a minute, I'll go see your mother."
Mengzi did not expect Lin Fan to visit his mother, and was very moved.
Since Damiang fell ill, no one has ever come to the door. Wiping his tears, Mengzi took Lin Fan to his home.
Let Mengzi get on his bicycle, and soon the two of them arrived at Mengzi's home.
Walking into the room, Lin Fan couldn't help but frown.
This home was so shabby, with no table or chairs, only a bed, and a sallow-faced woman lay on the bed.
Under the bed was a worn-out straw mat and a thin quilt, neatly folded.
The woman on the bed heard someone coming in and said weakly: "Mengzi, are you back?"
At this time, the woman was too weak to open her eyes. When Mengzi heard his mother calling him, he immediately responded: "Mom, I'm back, and my benefactor is here too."
When the woman on the bed heard that Lin Fan was coming, she struggled to get up. Lin Fan quickly went up and held the woman down to prevent her from being tired anymore.
Lin Fan turned around and asked Mengzi: "Didn't you go to the hospital?"
When Mengzi heard Lin Fan's words, he said with a sad face: "Brother, my family has no money. After my mother got sick, in order to take care of my mother, I couldn't do my part-time job, and I didn't have the money to see a doctor."
Lin Fan was silent for a while. Sure enough, the biggest disease in the world is the disease of poverty.
Looking at Mengzi whose face was full of tears, Lin Fan kicked him over and cursed: "Why are you crying? Go pick up your mother and let's go to the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Mengzi's eyes flashed with light again, he nodded heavily, turned around and carried his mother on his back.
When the woman heard Lin Fan's words and was carried by her son, she hurriedly said: "My dear, I can't. I'm already too sick. Please don't waste your money on me, an old woman."
Lin Fan gently said to the woman: "Auntie, don't say anything depressing. Don't you want to see Mengzi get married and have children? From now on, Mengzi will follow me, and I promise to find him a wife."
When Mengzi Niang heard this, how could she not want to see her son get married and have children? She was just dreaming about it.
Hearing again that Lin Fan asked Mengzi to follow him and marry him a wife, Mengzi's mother's heart that had given up was once again filled with hope.
