When Chu Heng came to the courtyard, most of the old neighbors in the courtyard had finished their dinner. Some industrious women found out their needles and threads after cleaning up the housework, and took advantage of the break before going to bed to sew and mend at home.
People who had nothing to do gathered in the courtyard chatting, and there were also energetic children running around and playing in the courtyard.
After entering the hospital, he chatted with his old neighbor for a while, and after being polite for a while, he went straight to the backyard carrying a net bag filled with supplements and food.
When passing by Xu Damao's house, Chu Heng glanced at the moving figures in the house, but did not go there immediately. Instead, he turned around and went to the deaf old lady's house first.
At this time, the deaf old lady's place was very lively. Aunt Yi and Aunt Liu were both there, chatting and laughing with the deaf old lady and her sisters.
Qin Jingru was also sitting at the door, holding the little Huniu who couldn't stop for a moment, and Yu Li, who was also holding her own child, was chattering.
"Hey, it's quite lively!"
When Chu Heng came in and looked at the room full of women, he felt that the yang energy in his body was much weaker.
"elder brother!"
"Here comes Tsuneko."
"Why are you so free today?"
"Hey, you, why do you bring so many things with you?"
Several people in the room greeted him with smiles. Among them, Qin Jingru was the happiest, followed by Yu Li, who had a fox face.
Eh?
What does Yu Li have to be happy about?
"I've been busy these past few days. I just have nothing to do tonight, so I came to see the child." Chu Heng put the net bag on the cabinet at the door, took out a wooden teething stick from it and handed it to Qin Jingru, and carefully warned: "
This is a molar stick made of pepper wood for Hu Niu. She is teething now. Let her bite this if she has nothing to do. It can reduce inflammation and relieve itching, and prevent her from crying when she feels uncomfortable. But you should remember one thing. After using it
It needs to be boiled in boiling water to kill the bacteria, otherwise it will easily become infected over time.”
"Yeah, I'll remember it." Qin Jingru happily handed the polished little wooden stick to the little Huniu and teased: "Look, your godfather gave this to you, do you like it?"
"ah!"
Little Huniu is very curious, and most of the ways for children at this stage to understand the world are to take a bite first and then talk about it. I saw her reaching out and holding the molar stick with both hands. She already had several teeth when she opened them, and she was often itchy.
He took a bite with his little mouth.
Um?
So comfortable!
Biting the pepperwood, the little guy's eyes lit up, and he felt that the discomfort in his mouth immediately improved a lot. He chewed harder, and his small front teeth made a clicking sound when biting the small wooden stick.
Like a little mouse.
Looking at the little tiger girl who had calmed down, Qin Jingru widened her watery eyes in surprise: "Ah, it's really easy to use. Once you bite it, you won't make a fuss."
"That's for sure, why don't I give it to her?" Chu Heng said with a smile.
"Hengzi." Yu Li stared straight at Chu Heng, her voice was artificial and artificial, and she said coquettishly: "When are you going to get me one of these? This kid of mine has also grown teeth recently, it's too noisy.
Already."
The reason why she was like this was not because she wanted to hook up with Chu Heng or something else, but she simply wanted to be gentle in front of this high-quality human man so as not to make him hate her.
Just like some men always like to pretend to be gentlemen in front of beautiful women and show their best side.
Completely instinctive.
Chu Heng didn't take it seriously. There were many women who made tantrums in front of him, and Yu Li was not an exception. She had long been used to it. He responded with a smile: "Okay, it just so happens that I still have a lot of them."
Where's the pepper wood? I'll get some for Uncle Yan when I go to work later."
"Thank you very much." Yu Limei said with a smile.
"Ah!"
At this time, the slightly older son in her arms saw the little tiger girl chewing on the teething stick and it was delicious. He began to struggle in the mother's arms and wanted to grab it and have a taste.
Yu Li put the child on the kang and then turned back to continue chatting with Chu Heng.
This guy had been fighting for several months longer than the little Huniu, and he was already very fast. As soon as Yu Li let go, he was like a runaway husky, crawling towards the little Huniu using his hands and feet, and soon he was in front of her, and then he stretched out his hand directly
Go grab the teething stick in her hand.
Little Huniu hid for a few moments, and when she saw this kid kicking his nose and face, she took out the teething stick from her mouth in annoyance, rounded her little arm and knocked him on the head!
"winter!"
There was a muffled sound.
"Ouch!"
Yu Li's son suddenly burst into tears and sat there wiping his tears.
"Oh!"
Chu Heng grinned, yes, he is someone who will not suffer any loss!
"Cry, cry, cry, I will cry every day." Yu Li, who was happily chatting with a high-quality human male, took her son back with an unhappy look on her face.
Ignorant little thing!
Qin Jingru also picked up the little Huniu and lectured her gently: "How can you hit your brother? You won't be allowed to do this again in the future, you know?"
"Kachi kachi!"
The little Huniu glanced at the old woman who had forgotten the baby since she had a man, grabbed the teething stick and continued to chew.
I am a child and I don’t understand...
"Hey, you, what do you think she is doing? Isn't it normal for children to fight and make noise?" Chu Heng could not bear to be taught a lesson for fucking his daughter, so he reached out and took the child over, and teased with a smile: "How is it? My godfather is here.
Do you like the teething stick?"
Little Huniu ignored him and just chewed on her own.
"Xiao Hengzi, come here, my wife has something to discuss with you." The deaf old lady waved to him at this time.
"What's wrong?" Chu Heng walked over with the child in his arms.
"It's the anniversary of my father's death. My wife wants you to drive me with your wife, Mrs. Xiumei, to burn some paper for him. Can you spare some time?" the old lady said with a smile.
"Hey, there's nothing you can't do. Don't worry, you two can just wait at home. I'll be here early in the morning." Chu Heng agreed happily, and then asked about the things that needed to be prepared, and chatted again.
Knowing how to do things at home, on the pretext that Tian'er could take the child out for some fresh air, with Yu Li's reluctant eyes, she came out of the house with the little Huniu in her arms.
After carrying the child around in his arms for a few times in the yard, he came to the door of Xu's house and gently tapped the door twice with his foot.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Tsengko!"
Xu Damao, who was listening to the radio in the room, looked through the glass window on the door and saw that he was coming. He hurriedly ran over to open the door. Seeing that his face seemed a little ugly, he bowed his waist in confusion and said with a smile on his face: "What are you doing today?"
Why are you so free? Come in, come in."
Chu Heng didn't say anything and just carried the child into the house.
Yu Haitang also walked out of the back room at this time, looked at him with a smile, and greeted: "Here he comes."
Looking at the already pregnant woman, Chu Heng's expression softened a little, and he nodded to her gently, then sat down at the Eight Immortals table in the outer room with the child in his arms.
"This child is growing up so fast. Come on, let me give you a hug." Xu Damao came up to him at this time and extended his hand to the little tiger girl with an envious look on his face.
"Go aside!"
Chu Heng hugged the child and hid for a while, frowned and pointed to the bench next to him: "Sit down, I have something to ask you."
After Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, he sat down as he was told and asked with some anxiety: "What's the matter? Hengzi."
"Let me ask you, have you gone to the hospital recently to see if you can't have children?" Chu Heng asked calmly.
"Yes...that's what happened." Xu Damao nodded nervously, wondering why he was asking this.
"bump!"
Seeing him admit it, Chu Heng slammed the table angrily.
Um?
The little Huniu suddenly trembled, angrily biting the pepper wood and looked up at him, her dark eyes becoming a little moist.
You knock again!
Knock again and I will cry for you!
Chu Heng, who was about to say something filial, immediately lowered his voice when he saw this, gritted his teeth and said: "Are you really afraid that others won't know that the child in Yu Haitang's belly is not yours? Do you know that this matter has been widely circulated now?
?Even the stupid idiot is chewing the root of your tongue!"
Only then did Xu Damao understand what was going on. He immediately panicked and said quickly: "I didn't mean that, Hengzi, I just..."
"Shut up!"
Chu Heng stared at him coldly and hummed: "I don't want to know what you think, and I don't want to care about it, but remember one thing. If people know that this child has something to do with me, why don't you just wait
Go to Jinshui River to feed the tortoise!"
"Remember, I'm not joking with you anymore!"
After saying this, he stood up angrily and left Xu's house in a hurry.
Xu Damao's face turned pale with fright, and he sat on the stool regretfully and patted his thighs: "Hey, young man, look at the fuss this has caused."
He and Chu Heng have been neighbors for many years, and he knows Chu Heng quite well. He can tell that the other party is really not joking.
Yu Haitang, who was pouring water for Chu Heng, put down the useless cup at this time, glanced at the grandson expressionlessly, touched his belly, sneered, and went back to the room to read.
She didn't care at all about Xu Damao's purpose of going to the doctor, let alone asked. She only cared about the child in her belly now.
In the outhouse.
At this time, Xu Damao was so anxious that he scratched the wall, his eyes darting around, thinking hard about the solution to the rumors.
This kid didn't have any skills, but he had a lot of clever ideas. After thinking for a while, he had an idea, and then he saw him hurriedly put on his clothes, took two bottles of wine and walked out of the house.
.
Xu Damao came to the middle courtyard quickly. He glanced at the closed door of Shazhu's house with a resentful look on his face, grinded his teeth hard, and turned towards Liu Haizhong's house.
At this moment, Sha Zhu and Yan Jiefang were both at Liu's house. They were chatting with Liu Guangtian and Liu Haizhong and his son. Coincidentally, the object of their discussion was Xu Damao's medical treatment.
"Do you think this is true?"
"I think it's 80% true. Think about it, then Xu Damao hasn't had a child for many years, so why did Yu Haitang suddenly become pregnant?"
"Hey, this grandson is really willing to go out drinking for the sake of his children!"
A few people were chatting enthusiastically when Xu Damao suddenly walked in from outside and greeted with a smile: "Jiefang is here too, is this day shift?"
They immediately stopped talking and looked at him with strange expressions.
"Yes, I just finished the shift adjustment two days ago." Yan Jiefang said with a guilty conscience.
"Come and sit down, Damao." But there was nothing visible on Liu Haizhong's face. He glanced at the wine in the other person's hand and waved to him with a smile.
The old man had a lot of trouble with Xu Damao in the factory. For a while, the two families barely interacted with each other. However, after all, they were both old neighbors and could not see each other without looking up. After such a long period of time, the matter was settled.
, the two families gradually began to move around again.
Two days ago we were sitting together drinking.
"well."
Xu Damao came to the table at this time and sat down next to Liu Guangtian.
"I asked, are your eyes blind? Didn't you see your grandpa and me here?" Seeing that he didn't say hello to her, Shazhu stared unhappily.
"Come on, smoke." Liu Guangtian happily took out his cigarette and smoked it in a circle, looking at Xu Damao's crotch.
"I don't talk to beasts." Xu Damao snorted coldly as he took the cigarette, put the wine in his hand on the table, pretended to be in pain, and said to Liu Haizhong: "Uncle Liu, I had something to do when I came here today.
I want to ask you about it."
"What's going on?" Liu Haizhong asked curiously.
"That's what happened. During this period, I had a lot of trouble peeing, and sometimes I peeed blood. I went to the hospital some time ago and was told that it was prostatitis. I was also prescribed a lot of medicine, but it didn't work no matter what I took. It turned out that
It was like that, and it's still like that now." Xu Damao sighed and said, "I remember that you had the same problem last year, and did you use any folk remedies that were good? So I wanted to ask you about how you treated the disease at that time.
"
"Hey, that's it. Then remember it, go back and get some coix seeds and grind them into powder, and buy some red beans..." The old man looked at the two bottles of wine, so he didn't hide them.
I reserved my own remedies and shared them.
Xu Damao memorized the folk prescription, and after carefully asking about the precautions and source, he hurriedly left on the pretext of buying medicine.
After he left, Liu Haizhong happily picked up the two bottles of Erguotou and looked at them. He also cast a sidelong glance at Silly Zhu and the others who were chatting just now, and said a lesson: "You guys, don't just listen to the wind and rain every day.
Xu Damao just got prostatitis, and it's like a borrowed seed for you, but it's true."
"Harm, didn't I just listen to what others said?" Silly Zhu scratched his head angrily.
"Grrrrrr!"
It happened that Chu Heng was wandering here with Hu Niu in his arms, and he also heard what they said, with a satisfied smile on his face, and immediately walked into the room: "It was quite a lively chat."
Seeing Shazhu and the others smoking cigarettes, and the room being smoky, he frowned again and said in a nonchalant manner: "Hurry up and put out the cigarettes for me, don't let the children smoke them."
"Alas."
"Hey, you, a distinguished guest is here. Wife, go and make some tea. We have a box of good tea under the bed in our room."
"Sit with me, Tsuneko."
His treatment was much better than that of Xu Damao, and everyone in the room quickly stood up and welcomed him in.
Chu Heng didn't stay here too long. He drank a cup of tea and chatted for a while. When the little Huniu started to yawn, he hugged the child and left.
Back in the backyard, he returned the child to Qin Jingru, and then chatted with the old lady. When it was dark and Aunt Yi and Aunt Liu were leaving, he also stood up to say goodbye and left the old lady.
Home, prepare to go to Du Sanna and wait there.
Several people had just come out of the house. Xu Damao, who had returned from shopping, suddenly opened the door and said to Chu Heng with a flattering look on his face: "Hengzi, come here, I have something to tell you."
Chu Heng frowned and hesitated, but still walked over.
After taking him into the house, Xu Damao quickly closed the door, truthfully reported to him the method he had thought of, and then promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to cover up this matter, and no one will gossip about it."
"knew."
Chu Heng nodded his head expressionlessly, then turned around and left the Xu family. He was sighing in his heart that Xu Damao was a little bad, but his brain was really smart. With such a lot of effort, he could actually
Let him sort things out!
Sure enough, there are no useless people in this world, it just depends on whether they are useful in the right place.
