It was a little dawn, and Cheng Tianyuan got up and saw Xue Ling sleeping on the quilt. His forehead was sweating a little, and he felt deeply distressed. He stepped forward and carefully changed her position. Seeing her tilted on the mat, he soon fell asleep again.
After that, she didn't dare to wake her up, so she tiptoed out of the door.
There will always be raining in the evening recently, and the weather in the imperial capital will not be very stuffy, and it will be a little cool in the morning and evening.
He went to the next room to see his two sons, and saw that they both kicked the quilt and fell asleep in a bun, and couldn't help but chuckle.
He took the thin quilt to cover them with his stomach and turned around to open the door.
The door opposite was half-closed, and Cheng Muhai was grinding soy milk in the corner of the kitchen.
A while ago, four old people went to the old city of the imperial capital to play and saw someone doing small mills and crafts selling. Cheng Muhai was moved and asked his master to make a bigger one, and then bought it home to grind soy milk for his grandchildren to eat.
.
The soy milk that I grind at home is smoother and children like it. Even Xue Heng and Cheng Tianfang fell in love with drinking soy milk.
Cheng Tianyuan looked at the purple-red soy milk and couldn't help asking: "Dad, have you mixed black rice?"
"Red beans." Cheng Muhai explained: "I finished eating black glutinous rice yesterday. I asked your mother to buy a few more kilograms when she went to the market."
The old man prepared breakfast for everyone in different ways, and everyone was happy and everyone was happy.
Cheng Tianyuan entered the kitchen and saw his mother cooking millet porridge. He hurriedly asked, "Mom, do you want to make steamed buns today?"
"The noodles have been kneaded, and the hair is inside!" Liu Ying said: "You go and try it, and start doing it if you can."
Cheng Tianyuan washed his hands and pinched the dough and asked, "Why are you all so early? You didn't go to bed last night at 10 o'clock."
Liu Ying replied: "I am old and I fall asleep after sleeping. No matter when I wake up, I can't fall asleep when I wake up. Your dad and I are used to getting up early and wake up at four or five o'clock."
Cheng Muhai whispered: "It's enough for us old people to sleep for six or seven hours."
Cheng Tianyuan seemed to remember something and asked: "Dad, did Uncle Chang call you a few days ago? What did he tell you?"
"Oh..." Cheng Muhai whispered: "He is not very good. Since his sister-in-law Chang's death two years ago, he has been very lonely alone. Later, his daughter-in-law forced him to sell his old house and land and asked him to go to the city to go with them.
If he lives, his life will be harder."
Liu Ying lowered his voice: "He only Tianshuan has a son, but his son has a soft ear. He listens to the woman in everything, and he doesn't even dare to take care of his father. Tianshuan's wife took all the money from Chang Bo.
Then he treats the elderly harshly every day and does not let him eat enough for three meals - it's pitiful!"
Cheng Tianyuan and their family are relatives and know each other well enough to know Chang Bo's family. He couldn't help asking: "Dad, did you ask Tianshuan to answer the phone? You should scold him hard."
"Where!" Cheng Muhai snorted coldly: "You Chang Bo was going to Chen Min's 'Home Le' to call, otherwise he would have no money. Tian Shuan went to the factory to work, so how could he care about him? You Chang Bo said
He is still strong now and plans to find a job in the development zone and ask Chen Min to introduce him. Chen Min is afraid that he will be too tired and dare not respond. I asked Amin to give him 100 yuan.
I said I bought him cigarettes. However, I can help him for a while, but I can't help him for a long time."
Cheng Tianyuan frowned: "His old house is gone, and there is no land for growing food. How can he live on? A few years ago, he took out all his savings and borrowed some money for us.
Finally, they bought a house for Tianshang and others. They lived in the house bought by the old man, took all his money and abused the old man!”
Liu Ying secretly wiped his tears and whispered: "I pity him, an old man... No matter how tough he is, how can he withstand such atrocities and anger? He is so angry with Tianshuan now that he refuses to go back, he is now
The development zone picked up some bottles and jars thrown by others to sell for money and slept in the warehouse of Kao Le at night. Chen Min's house gave him food, but he always refused to ask for it. Later, Amin told him that the houses were all ours.
He only lived in the warehouse after paying for the money to build the place and let him sleep."
"What?" Cheng Tianyuan was so angry that his veins were revealed, "He is living by picking up rags now?"
"Yes, it's been like this in the past few days." Cheng Muhai whispered: "I stayed in the warehouse at night, and I went to pick up bottles and jars to sell during the day. I don't know how to deal with the three meals, so I didn't dare to eat Chen Min for him.
The meal.”
Cheng Tianyuan asked: "Then—didn't you look for him that day?"
Liu Ying choked up and said, "He went to find him, but Chang Bo has given up on him. Chang Bo asked him to return part of the money and buy back the land in his hometown so that he could go back to Chengjia Village, but he didn't dare to agree and said he
The wife refused. Uncle Chang slapped him, saying that he didn't have his son, and then he didn't look back at Jiangyuan Phase II."
Cheng Tianyuan quickly prepared the steamed buns, turned around and washed his hands and went to make a phone call.
A moment later, Chen Min answered.
"Ayuan, why are you so early? It's just past six o'clock, and I just opened a store!"
Cheng Tianyuan would hang up the phone with Ah Hu from time to time and ask, "How are you doing recently? Are you busy? Is your business okay?"
"The business is OK, and beer and watermelon are selling well in summer." Chen Min smiled and said, "The boy from my family can help get beer to the customers. He is already a little helper."
His son is almost two years old, a little younger than Ah Hu's son, and looks very much like Chen Min.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said, "Awesome! You and your sister-in-law have a good teaching!"
Chen Min laughed: "Just kidding! Brother Ah Hu's son is already quite old, much taller than mine. My aunt came here a few days ago, and Brother Ah Hu carried her with her, but she only stayed here for one night.
After paying homage to my uncle, I returned to the provincial capital the next day.”
Cheng Tianyuan said: "I haven't had time to contact Ah Hu recently, so I will call him and talk. Ah Min, I'm looking for you to ask about Chang Bo's situation."
As soon as I finished speaking, Chen Min smiled bitterly and sighed: "Ayuan, it's not that I don't help... Uncle Chang dares to accept my help. I've had all the hot meals here. I brought them to him, and he ran away and said with a smile.
He has already treated us as a Bodhisattva for being able to sleep. But the old man is so... it really doesn't work! My wife saw him drinking water by the river yesterday. How could this last long?"
Cheng Tianyuan felt very uncomfortable when he heard this and asked, "Is he there? Let him talk to me about the phone."
Chen Min whispered: "No, I'll go out at dawn and I'll come back in the evening."
Cheng Tianyuan sighed: "I'll call him in the evening. Amin, tell Chang Bo, I'm missing an old man here to help me see the warehouse. There is only one old man at the door of the warehouse to help me watch, but he has a family to take care of and has to go back from time to time, so he takes care of both.
No, I want to ask him to help. The salary and treatment are the same as the old man, and he is responsible for food and accommodation. He asked him if he would come to help me. If he is willing, you buy him a boat ticket and I will go to the dock to pick him up.
come over."
Chen Min knew as soon as he heard this, Cheng Tianyuan wanted to help others, and he responded repeatedly.
"The old man is so pitiful... So what if I have a tough body? How can I resist being hungry after spending three meals every day! If he is willing, I will take him on a boat north tomorrow."
