Chapter 14: The appearance of all living beings in the alley
The next day, early in the morning, Song Ying went out humming a tune, and happened to meet Huang Ling who was preparing to go to work next door. The two looked at each other, smiled, and naturally held hands with each other and left the courtyard.
"How are you? Did you fall asleep last night? Did you wake up laughing from a dream in the middle of the night?" Huang Ling covered her mouth and teased with a chuckle.
Song Ying smiled sheepishly and said, "Sister Ling, did you hear everything last night?"
"You still can't hear it? Our two families are separated by a wall. If you and your wife speak louder, our family can hear you."
Seeing this, Song Ying stopped pretending and leaned into Huang Ling's ear: "Sister Ling, let me tell you the truth. I didn't fall asleep until midnight last night. You know, I didn't even dare to dream."
I wish Haozi could win the national championship."
Huang Ling was also happy when she heard this: "Actually, Chaoying and I were up half the night last night, especially Chaoying, who kept mumbling, how could he be the champion?"
After speaking, Huang Ling was afraid that Song Ying would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained: "Chaoying means that he heard that this national children's Go competition is attended by talented young people from all over the country, and many of them have family inheritance. Haozi
He has never received systematic training, so how he defeated so many talented teenagers and won the championship is incredible to him."
"Sister Ling, I know what Teacher Zhuang means. In fact, let alone you, even Wu Feng and I felt incredible. If Director He from the Children's Palace hadn't come to tell us last night, we wouldn't have believed it." Song Ying patted her head.
Huang Ling comforted her with her hand.
Not long after they left the door, they bumped into Aunt Li next door and said to Song Ying with a smile on her face.
"Song Ying, congratulations. Haozi won the national championship this time and brought shame to our Suzhou state. It's amazing."
Song Ying and Huang Ling looked at each other in surprise: "Aunt Li, how did you know that Haozi won the championship?"
"Hi, Director He from the Children's Palace didn't know where your home was last night. I happened to meet him on the road and gave him directions."
Song Ying secretly thought: That’s it.
Aunt Li took Song Ying's hand: "It's such a big happy event, why should we celebrate it when Haozi comes back?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely invite you to my house for dinner." Song Ying said a few perfunctory words and finally got rid of Aunt Li's entanglement.
After leaving the alley, Song Ying couldn't help but complain to Huang Ling: "This is troublesome. Aunt Li knows about it. In less than two days, the entire cotton spinning factory will probably know about it."
In fact, Song Ying underestimated Aunt Li. In just one afternoon, the entire cotton spinning factory staff knew that Qin Hao had won the national championship.
No matter where Song Ying went, there were always people congratulating her, so Song Ying could only smile with her face. One day after class, her face was all smiles.
When she came home from get off work and passed by the alley, a bunch of neighbors greeted her and congratulated her, and asked her when she was going to treat her, which made Song Ying unbearable.
Back in the courtyard, Song Ying complained weakly to Huang Ling.
In response to this, Huang Ling just smiled sideways: "Then let Haozi come to our house in the future, and I will treat you all to this banquet."
"That won't work." Song Ying broke through instantly.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Huang Ling scratched Song Ying's face with her hand: "Your family now has a child who is a national champion, so let's have some fun."
"Nothing can be hidden from Sister Ling." Song Ying was a little embarrassed, hiding her face and smiling.
Although it would cost money to treat guests to a banquet, Song Ying was still very happy in the face of everyone's compliments, and she was also proud of Qin Hao, who was the national champion, Scorpion Daddy - the only one.
While the two were cooking, Lin Dongzhe ran in and hugged Song Ying's thigh.
"Mom, did Brother Hao win the championship?"
Song Ying was amused: "How did you know?"
"It's spread all over the alley, Mom, please tell me quickly, is it true?" Lin Dongzhe asked with a longing face.
"It's true, Haozi is the champion." Song Ying smiled and rubbed Lin Dongzhe's head.
Lin Dongzhe ran out as soon as he heard this, shouting: "Oh, Brother Hao is the champion, Brother Hao has won the national championship."
Song Ying looked at Lin Dongzhe's back, shook her head fondly and smiled: "I don't know, I thought it was Lin Dongzhe who won the championship."
Huang Ling was also happy when she heard this: "Your Lin Dongzhe is quite interesting."
"He is just careless and used to it. Oh, God must have seen me giving birth to Lin Dongzhe, a skinny monkey, and was afraid that I would be pissed to death by him and die young, so he let Haozi come to our house. Okay.
Let me have a little more balance." Song Ying rolled her eyes.
"Haha~~~"
A burst of cheerful laughter came from the kitchen.
Zhuang Tunan, who was doing homework next door, paused and muttered to himself in confusion: "Mom seems to be a lot happier than before after moving."
"Well, mom and Aunt Song Ying always have endless things to talk about. It's not like they were always alone before." Zhuang Xiaoting on the side said, tilting her head.
…
The small courtyard is full of joy, but the Qin family is a completely different scene.
The Qin family couple rarely complained about Qin Jianjun and his wife.
"If you hadn't abused Haozi and forced him away, he wouldn't have become someone else's child!"
Qin Jianjun's wife complained: "How could we abuse him? The child is disobedient and cannot be educated anymore. We are fine with what outsiders say. You have seen the whole process. Why didn't you stop him at first? Now you are saying this about us."
No, he really wants to kill us unjustly."
Qin Jianjun also said unhappily: "If you hadn't stood up to testify for us at the beginning, you wouldn't have let that stinky bitch Song Ying take advantage of it, but now you are blaming us?"
These words left the Qin family couple speechless.
After a while, Qin Jiye considered that he would have to rely on his second wife and his wife for support in the future, and did not dare to make the relationship too tense, so he made a suggestion.
"This child, Haozi, is our Qin family's child after all. We are all close relatives who have broken bones and connected muscles with him. We cannot let the child wander outside. We have to find a way to get the child back home."
This was said to be on the minds of Qin Jianjun and his wife.
In the past, Qin Hao was a complete burden to them, and they naturally disliked him no matter how much they looked at it. But it is different now. Qin Hao has won the National Children's Go Competition and is very likely to join the national team in the future. The level is completely different.
Now, from now on, they will be the family members of national players, and they will have face when talking about it.
"But, Haozi has big ideas. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get him to go home, right?" Qin Jianjun's wife said quietly.
One sentence directly pulled Qin Jiye and Qin Jianjun, father and son, out of their sweet dreams into reality.
Qin Jianjun cleared his throat: "Humph, Dad is right. No matter what, we are all Haozi's closest relatives. We just had a small conflict before. We can't beat people to death with a stick. Let's go to Song Ying's house to make trouble. Really
If it doesn't work, we can go to the cotton mill, and I don't believe that no one can make the decision for us people."
Qin Jiye's eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh: "Yes, if it doesn't work, your mother and I will go to the city hall gate to complain and bully our lonely old man and old lady. I don't believe that no one can cure her Song Ying."
The family of four hit it off immediately.
…
The next day, Song Ying and her family were having dinner when they heard a noise outside the alley.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the small courtyard was kicked open.
Qin Jianjun and his wife pointed at Song Ying's nose angrily and cursed: "Song Ying, you are so scheming, why don't you return our Qin family's children quickly!"
Song Ying heard this and her chest heaved violently with anger: "You two are going to go crazy and send it home. As for your children, Haozi has long severed ties with your Qin family."
"Huh, severing the relationship was also your instigation."
Qin Jianjun's wife turned around and said to the neighbors watching the excitement outside the courtyard with runny noses and tears.
"This Song Ying has long seen that our Haozi has a talent for playing Go, and she persuaded him to sever ties with our family. What can a child under ten years old know? It's a pity that she was deceived like this."
Song Ying blurted out: "You fart!"
Lin Dongzhe also shouted at Qin Jianjun and his wife: "You are talking nonsense, my mother is not such a person."
However, the neighbors outside were talking a lot.
"I asked why Song Ying is so kind. It turns out that's the case."
"I didn't expect Song Ying to be such a person."
"It shouldn't be possible, right? Song Ying doesn't seem like someone who can do such a thing."
"Why not? If it weren't for the benefits, who would adopt a child that has nothing to do with them?"
Wang Yong next door had Song Ying blocking the hole in the wall and flooding the yard. He had always held a grudge. Seeing such an opportunity to add insult to injury, how could he let it go? He climbed up the wall and shouted.
"I just asked how could Song Ying, a notoriously prickly person, be so kind-hearted? It turns out she was harboring evil intentions."
Lin Wufeng was so angry that he threw the bowl in his hand: "Wang Yong, try saying it again if you dare!"
In order to avoid the bowl, Wang Yong suddenly fell off the wall and screamed in pain, which made the surrounding neighbors chuckle.
Seeing that he had the upper hand, Qin Jianjun became even more unreasonable and shouted at Song Ying.
"Song Ying, let me ask you again, do you agree to return Haozi to our family?"
Huang Ling was about to stand up for Song Ying, but Zhuang Chaoying stopped her: "Don't you see that the neighbors are all on Qin Jianjun's side? What's the use of going up alone?"
"They... how could they do this!" Huang Ling muttered to herself as she looked at the familiar and unfamiliar faces outside the small courtyard.
Zhuang Chaoying sighed and whispered: "If you want to blame it, it's because Song Ying is too public. She was not very popular in the first place, and then a national champion suddenly appeared in her family. Everyone is pretty much the same, but if she insists on taking the lead, she will definitely suffer.
Jealous."
"But, it wasn't Song Ying who beat gongs and drums to show off, it was clearly Aunt Li..."
"No matter who is promoting it, everyone only sees that Song Ying has taken advantage of all the good things. They are not worried about the scarcity but the inequality!"
Song Yinghong argued with Qin Jianjun and his wife with tears in her eyes, but she found that most of the neighbors who had previously said kindly to Yan Yuese that they would come to her house for a banquet to celebrate Qin Hao, were on Qin Jianjun's side, and her heart suddenly dropped.
Just when Song Ying was at a loss, and Qin Jianjun and his wife saw that the situation was looking good, they pointed at Song Ying's nose and yelled, suddenly they saw Qin Jianjun and his wife both fell down, and they fell into pieces.
"Who, what bastard attacked me!"
The scene was completely silent until Song Ying shouted blankly: "Haozi?"
"Haozi is back."
"Hey, the national champion is back."
Qin Hao ignored the various looks from the neighbors, walked up to Song Ying, reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Aunt Song, I'm back."
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." Song Ying's tears fell even harder.
Lin Dongzhe pointed at Qin Jianjun and his wife and said to Qin Hao: "Brother Hao, they slandered my mother because they knew you were good at Go, so they brought you home. They are all bad people!"
Qin Hao turned around and faced Qin Jianjun and his wife coldly.
Qin Jianjun and his wife, who were still arrogant at first, suddenly changed their faces and said to Qin Hao with flattering smiles on their faces.
"Haozi, your surname is Qin. We are a family. Broken bones are still connected. It was my second uncle who was wrong in the past. You should give my second uncle a chance to change his ways. Go home. Your father and mother-in-law are both here."
I’m waiting for you at home.”
Qin Hao was so angry at these remarks. He had seen shameless people before, but never seen such shameless people. He was really telling lies with his eyes open.
"Qin Jianjun, I have severed all ties with your family. The reason why I still have the surname Qin is because my father's surname is Qin, which has nothing to do with you. From the day you abused me, you have never regarded me as a relative. If it weren't for that,
Aunt Song took me in. I might have died in your hands, and now I'm still licking my face and coming to Aunt Song's house to growl and bark. Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
Lin Dongzhe tugged on Zhuang Tunan's sleeve beside him: "Brother Tunan, what do you mean by barking?"
Zhuang Tunan was also tireless in teaching and answered seriously: "This is an idiom that describes a person barking like a dog."
"Pfft~~~"
"Haha~~~"
There was a sudden burst of laughter around the courtyard.
Qin Jianjun and his wife suddenly lost their composure and said fiercely to Qin Hao.
"Don't worry about adults' affairs. Song Ying will give up your custody and let you go home no matter what she says today."
When Song Ying was about to speak, Qin Hao said first: "This is my home, and Aunt Song Ying is my relative. Don't have such wishful thinking. You just watched me win the championship and thought I was useful to you again, so you came to corrupt Song Ying."
Aunt Ying has a good reputation, so since you are so shameless, don’t blame me for being rude."
As he spoke, Qin Hao handed the luggage and a large cardboard box behind him to Lin Wufeng.
"Uncle Lin, this is my prize for winning the championship. You can take it into the house first."
Then he whispered to Song Ying: "Aunt Song, do you still have the photos and injury report that I asked you to keep?"
"Here you are."
"Then please help me take it out."
"This..." Song Ying hesitated when she heard this. When she and Qin Hao went to the police station to register for guardianship change that day, Qin Hao also made a request to the police station: take photos and examine injuries. She heard from the police comrades that according to Qin Hao's injuries,
, if reported, the perpetrator will be sentenced.
"Aunt Song, I have given them a chance. People like them who are obsessed with profit will never be able to get rid of it once they become soft-hearted. If they only influence me, I don't care, but I will never allow them to hurt you.
Uncle Lin and Lin Dongzhe, you are my family."
Song Ying's nose felt sore, and she hugged Qin Hao and sobbed silently.
