As soon as Chu Heng entered the room, before he could say anything, Shen Tian and Father Shen both came to greet him.
The former went to pick up what he had in his hand, while the latter closed the door to prevent others from being discovered.
"Crash!"
Chu Heng carefully put everything in his hands on the ground, and said nonchalantly: "I originally wanted to get some crucian carp and pig's trotters for my sister-in-law, but I was afraid of causing trouble to you, so I took some eggs. With soybeans, you should be careful when handling these, and they should be fine."
"It's already good, it's already good." Shen Tian hurriedly helped him unload his things, his eye circles began to turn red again, his lips were trembling and he didn't know what to say to express his gratitude.
At this moment, words like offering help in times of need, and finding a chance to survive are no longer enough to describe his situation!
It's really not an exaggeration to describe it as "survival from desperate situations".
His children are barely surviving on rice soup these days. If this continues, it's unclear whether they can survive.
After putting the things away, Chu Heng quickly took out a large box of milk powder from one of the net pockets and handed it to Shen Tian: "Don't worry about me, hurry up and make some milk powder for the child. He is crying."
"Alas, I'll go right now, I'll go right now." Shen Tian hurriedly took it, turned around and walked to the back room with his lame leg.
"Give it to me, you don't know how to make it." Mother Shen stood up and stepped forward with a happy face, took the milk powder from his hand, and trotted to get hot water and a bottle.
"Xiao Chu, thank you so much!" Father Shen excitedly held Chu Heng's hand and shook it, and touched his pocket habitually, wanting to get him a cigarette, but after touching it a few times, he Then I remembered with embarrassment that my house had been smoke-free for quite some time.
"Don't be busy, uncle, there is a child here, so let's stop smoking and stop choking the child." Chu Heng smiled and waved his hand to relieve his embarrassment.
"Then you sit down first and I'll get you a glass of water." Father Shen hurriedly pulled him to the chair.
"Hengzi, thank you so much. Without your help, my child might, maybe..." Zhang Min had tears streaming down her face, and her thin and haggard face could not see any of the outstanding grace that she once had.
"Sister-in-law, there's no need to be like this. Just based on our relationship, it's too much to say this." Chu Heng looked at her with a complicated face and sighed: "Don't think too much, be strong, everything will be fine, no matter the wind or rain." Afterwards, you will see a rainbow."
"Don't worry, we are not that fragile. We have been through bullets and bullets. This is nothing."
Shen Tian limped to him and sat down next to him. He held his hand and asked concernedly: "How is the situation over there? Is everything okay?"
"What are you asking about? How can I get these things for you?" Chu Heng rolled his eyes at him, pointed to his legs and asked: "What's going on with you? Do you need to find someone?" Doctor, take a look?"
"It's not a problem, it's just a sprain. It'll be fine after a few days of recovery." Shen Tian patted his thigh carelessly, and even stamped his feet hard to prove that he was fine.
"Come on, come on, Xiao Chu, you drink water." Father Shen came over with a glass of boiled water and said apologetically: "The conditions at home are limited, so I was a little neglectful."
"Uncle, please don't be polite, we are all our own people."
Chu Heng quickly stood up and took the water glass. After sitting down, he took a sip and asked Shen Tian: "Hey, I was in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me. Can you see if I'm missing anything?" I’ll get it for you in a few days.”
"There is nothing missing. It's already good to have these." Shen Tian shook his head gratefully, with tears in his smile.
"Just say whatever you need. I can't help, and I don't dare to help. But I can still get some food and daily necessities." Chu Heng patted his shoulder, hesitated, and asked in a low voice. : "Didn't you ask Mr. Hou for help? With his relationship with the old man, he should be able to talk to you, right?"
"If it hadn't been for his help, we would have gone down to move bricks right now." Shen Tian sighed with a bitter look on his face: "His family is also having a hard time now."
"My dear grandson, don't cry, the milk is here, the milk is here!"
At this time, Mother Shen finally prepared the milk powder and walked out of the back room. When she handed the warm milk bottle exuding a strong milk fragrance to the child, the child was like a little milk dog smelling the smell of food. , out of instinct, he opened his little arms and hugged the bottle tightly, bit the nipple, and sucked it greedily.
"The food tastes so delicious!" Zhang Min looked down at the child in her arms with a loving face, tears streaming down her face: "Mom is incompetent and made you starve."
At this moment, everyone in the room focused their attention on the child, feeling the splendor of life.
Not long after, half of the bottle of milk went into the child's belly. He sucked a few mouthfuls of the empty pacifier with unfulfilled interest, blinked, and looked at the mother above his head. Seeing that she had no intention of continuing to feed, he let go of the bottle and opened it. Xiaozui let out a big yawn, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
After crying for so long, the little guy was already exhausted.
Seeing this, Chu Heng also stood up and said goodbye: "Come on, you should also take a rest, I will withdraw."
"I'll see you off." Shen Tian stood up quickly.
"Don't send me away, don't wake others up, I can just sneak out by myself." Chu Heng pushed him back, wiped himself out of the house, and disappeared into the darkness quietly.
"Hey, we don't dare to forget this kindness, you know?" Shen's mother sighed and walked to the things Chu Heng brought, bent down and took out two eggs from them: "I'll cook some for Zhang Min. Eggs, you haven't eaten anything this night."
…
Two days later.
Chu Heng, who had been thinking about his wife, finally received a telegram from Miss Ni at noon that day.
There are only three words in total.
Arrived, safe, good.
He held the delivered telegram and smiled like an idiot.
Although it was only three words, he had already figured out what Xiao Ni wanted to say to him.
Dear husband:
I have arrived in Bingcheng. The road is safe and everything is fine. These few days and nights away from you, I have always missed you, missed you, missed you. When I am not here, you have to take care of yourself. When I come back, we
Chu Hengzhen carefully put the telegram form into her bag, drank a few sips of tea, and after thinking about it for a while, she decided to send a telegram back to her daughter-in-law to express her love for her.
So he found paper and pen, lay down on the table and drafted, trying to simplify his words as much as possible.
It's not like this. It's expensive to send a telegram at this time, three cents per word more. If you keep asking him to talk about it, he can get hundreds of dollars more for it!
No matter how rich he is, he can't increase his flow like this, right?
Therefore, telegrams must be concise and try to use simple words to express the most meaning.
