After reading the content of the letter, Chu Heng curled his lips and stuffed the letter paper back into the envelope, but this time he did not reseal it, but directly threw it on the stone table under the pavilion.
"Crack."
Chu Heng lowered his body again, picked up the bean sprouts that Chu Zhecheng and his two siblings had thrown on the ground one by one, and said, "After dinner, I will go there with you."
"well."
Che Xiaobao nodded, looked at the letter on the table, and couldn't help but think of the Li family siblings who were like mice crossing the street, and sighed: "Uncle, you said that in this day and age, you really can't tell who will be struck by a thunderbolt.
Well, the tree in Li’s house is as big as it is, so I pulled it out right away.”
"Okay, stop talking about this trivial matter. You can do your job. You don't care who gets hit or not." Chu Heng raised his head cautiously, vaguely feeling as if some mythical beast was watching him.
"oh."
Che Xiaobao lowered his head and worked conscientiously. Huniu and Chu Zhecheng on the side also helped seriously. They grabbed a handful of bean sprouts. There were more than ten bean sprouts, and they could pick three or four. The rest were all
It fell to the ground, which greatly slowed down the work.
But Chu Heng didn't stop him, happily picking up bean sprouts and enjoying the interaction between parent and child.
This went on for a while.
The bean sprouts were finally picked. Che Xiaobao was very discerning and without Chu Heng's instructions, he washed the bean sprouts in a basin and sent them to the front yard kitchen.
When he came back, he happily said to Chu Heng: "Uncle, you are too polite. I am not an outsider. I can just eat fried bean paste noodles. Why did you add four more dishes?"
"You don't have a mirror at home, so why don't you pee and look at yourself?" Chu Heng rolled his eyes at him and threw a cigarette: "My four-course meal has nothing to do with you? Besides, you are worthy of it.
Should I add extra food to entertain you? Your father will have to come to receive this treatment!"
"Four at a time?" Che Xiaobao blinked and truly believed it. Others must be bragging when they say this, but DaDaisheng is definitely not. He has such strength.
that is……
What a slut!
You also prepare four dishes of fried noodles and two meat dishes, which is enough for other people’s New Year celebrations!
Che Xiaobao wiped Chu Zhecheng's head with envy.
It would be great if I could be a son in this family...
Then the two chatted for a while, and soon Ni Yinghong and her three sisters came back from get off work. They immediately washed their faces and hands, and Yang Guizhi started to prepare dinner.
It was a hot day, and Che Xiaobao was not an outsider, so he didn't pay that much attention. They didn't go inside, so they ate in the pavilion.
There are two pots of hand-rolled noodles, one large and one small. The larger one has been soaked in cold water and is a bit hard for Chu Heng and the others to eat. The smaller one has been cooked in hot soup and is soft and mushy. It is prepared for the old lady and the children who have weak stomachs.
Shredded cucumber, shredded Xinxinmei radish, bean sprouts, green beans, etc., the noodles are all equally good.
In addition, there are four dishes, crystal elbow, stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, cucumbers, and persimmons mixed with sugar.
Che Xiaobao had a mouthful of noodles and a mouthful of vegetables, and the food was so satisfying that he would probably be shot to death without even taking a look at his father.
"I'm full, you can eat."
At this time, Mrs. Wu Xiumei, who had only eaten half a bowl of noodles, put down her chopsticks, with a look of exhaustion on her face, a little wilted.
"Why do you eat so much?" Chu Heng frowned and looked at her, concerned: "I just want to see you eating these days. Are you feeling unwell? Why don't I call Uncle Tang later?"
Come and show it to you?”
"Don't bother, I'm in good health, but it's so hot that I can't eat anything." Mrs. Wu smiled kindly.
"Yeah, I don't know what's going on today, why is it so hot? I can't even eat anything." The deaf old lady also echoed: "I was the same at noon today. I was full after just a few bites."
"Indeed, I was sweating as soon as I went out." Duan Fengchun nodded.
"Don't mention it. I bought a popsicle today, but half of it melted before I could eat it."
"My clothes are stained with sweat even after wearing them for a day."
The whole family chatted while Che Xiaobao and Huniu concentrated on cooking.
Chu Zhecheng gritted his teeth and listened stupidly, as if he really understood.
Not long after.
Chu Heng, who had drank two bottles of beer, put down his chopsticks, lit a cigarette and sat for a while. Che Xiaobao finished eating. The young man ate up four bowls of noodles in one go as if he had never eaten. His stomach was as full as if he had been pregnant for half a year.
Similar.
"Oh, it smells so good." He held his stomach with a satisfied expression.
"If you like it, my aunt will cook it for you when you come back." Yang Guizhi was very happy to see this.
"That's so daring!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and let's go."
Chu Heng threw him a cigarette and pulled him up while he was drying his belly. The two of them came out of the courtyard together, stuffed Che Xiaobao's car into the trunk, and then drove out of Banchang Alley.
When they arrived at the dormitory on Foreign Ministry Street, the Li siblings had just finished eating.
Li Jiangqi, who had been waiting for Che Xiaobao's reply, anxiously lingered at the door, feeling anxious.
Chu Heng strolled in, and the two of them bumped into each other: "Hey, where's Xiaoshi'er?"
After Li Jiangqi was stunned for a moment, she looked at Che Xiaobao who came in with Chu Heng, and frowned slightly.
With a clear mind, she had already vaguely guessed that her letter probably fell into Chu Heng's hands.
Otherwise, why would he be here at this time? And he is still with Che Xiaobao.
It's just that Li Jiangqi was a little confused about Chu Heng's purpose.
Are you here to stop yourself?
Chu Heng didn't want to hide this matter at all. He glanced at her frowning eyebrows and smiled, saying: "Let's go and find a quiet place to chat."
"good."
Li Jiangqi glanced at Che Xiaobao, who was timid, and then led Chu Heng into the yard.
Soon the three of them arrived outside Li Jiangqi's house. Li Yiqiang happened to go out to the latrine at this time. Seeing Chu Heng coming, he quickly ran over: "Master Chu, why are you here?"
"I have something to do with you and my sisters. Let's go and talk about it together."
"well."
Then several of them entered Li Jiangqi's room.
"Stop being busy, I'll leave as soon as I'm done."
After sitting down, Chu Heng glanced at the simple room, took out two envelopes from his trouser pocket and threw them on the desk: "These are for you."
"What?"
Li Jiangqi put down the thermos and curiously walked over and picked up two envelopes. One was thin and the other was thick. He didn't know what they contained.
She looked at the opened letter, pursed her lips, looked at Chu Heng, frowned and said: "You are our sister's benefactor, I also remember your kindness in my heart, but you can't look at other people's randomly.
Believe it?"
"I'm worried if you don't look at me. Now who doesn't know that I'm keeping your sisters? What if you two do something mean-spirited and I'll be the one to blame?" Chu Heng shrugged.
"Sister, please don't be angry, Mr. Chu is doing it for our own good." Li Yiqiang helped.
Li Jiangqi was able to carry it clearly and understood that Chu Heng was just checking for them again, so she didn't dwell on the matter anymore. She lowered her head and took out the letter and read it. When she saw that her grandfather's old friend promised to help,
, and suddenly his brows were filled with joy.
Then she put down the letter and opened another envelope, which contained two thousand green dollars and a note.
"This is?"
Li Jiangqi turned his head and looked at Chu Heng.
I finished writing it yesterday and forgot to post it...
