The deaf old lady was worried about Sha Zhu, so she asked Duan Hongxuan to have a good talk with Sha Zhu and give him some relief. She hoped that Duan Hongxuan could help Sha Zhu temporarily untie the knot in his heart.
Duan Hongxuan knew nothing about it and readily agreed.
Soon, people at work began to go home after get off work.
The first person to return to the backyard was Wu Xinghua, who was walking with a slight limp.
When Wu Xinghua entered the backyard, he saw the deaf old lady and several people. He paused slightly and then walked over.
Duan Hongxuan quickly stood up and looked at the only son of the old Wu family.
Wu Xinghua's height should be over 1.75 meters, less than 1.8 meters.
Because the sole of my foot was injured, I walked with a slight limp.
Although he is three years older than Shazhu, in terms of appearance, he actually looks younger than Shazhu.
Although the figure is not strong, it is not thin either.
His appearance is not handsome, but he can be considered above average.
A face with a Chinese character and big eyes with double eyelids look very energetic, giving people a sense of solidity, ability and calmness.
From him, you can't see any negative effects of the accidents that happened to him or the changes in his family.
The clothes on his body are washed clean, giving the impression that he is an ordinary worker from an ordinary family. Although the family is not rich, it is not bad either.
It can be seen that this family does not have any thoughts of blaming others. Instead, they are working hard and living their lives optimistically.
Wu Xinghua first said hello to the deaf old lady respectfully, and then said hello to the aunt.
Finally, he patted Duan Hongxuan on the shoulder gratefully: "You are the little scholar!
Thank you for making the wheelchair.
Since my mother got a wheelchair, she not only has more energy, but also feels much better.
Now I have a smile on my face every day!
This wheelchair has been a great help to our family!
I've made a special trip to thank you, the old lady, and the three other gentlemen here, but I haven't met you yet.
When you have time another day, I will ask your sister-in-law to prepare the preparations at home and invite you to come to my house for a meal."
Duan Hongxuan refused: "Angkor! I will call you Angkor!
If you want to thank me, just thank the old lady. I am helping the old lady make her wheelchair comfortable. You don’t need to be so polite!
Besides, the money came from the three uncles in the courtyard, so it’s not my turn anyway.
There is no need to eat. You are so polite that I will never dare to come to the backyard again."
There are two people, one wants to treat, the other firmly refuses.
The deaf old lady looked on and got really annoyed: "I told you guys, just for a meal, you two have been pushing and pulling here for a long time.
Boy from the Wu family, if you are really ready to treat my darling grandson to a meal, you should first set a date and my old lady will join you for a meal!
How do you like it? Do you want to welcome me, an old woman?"
"Hey, old lady, if you can come to our house for a meal, you should be welcomed with both hands and feet!"
"Okay, just don't dislike my old lady!
My dear grandson, the Wu family treats you sincerely. If you don’t eat this meal, he will always be thinking about it.
So don’t refuse.
Grandma is going to have a meal with you, so you have to get something good.
When the time comes, you bring a chicken, some meat and eggs, and a bottle of wine, and let Mr. Wu’s wife work hard to cook us a big meal!"
Wu Xinghua became anxious when he heard this. He was entertaining guests at his home, but when the guests came he had to bring so many things. What a big deal!
"Old lady, what's going on with you?
Can this be considered a treat to our family? This is our family taking advantage!
This won’t work, this won’t work!
How can anyone do things like this? I want to treat guests like this, and I won’t make anyone laugh when I say it!”
"Okay, it's settled!
Wu boy, don’t talk nonsense!
Either ask for it like this, or don’t ask for it!”
Duan Hongxuan nodded happily on the side: "Yes, grandma, you are right!
Angkor, I think this is good, so it’s settled.
Just set the time and choose a time that is convenient for you!"
Wu Xinghua stood beside him and stamped his feet anxiously: "How could this be possible? Look at this!
Old lady, this is really inappropriate!"
The deaf old lady glared at Wu Xinghua: "What? My old lady's words are useless!"
"No, old lady, you..."
"Okay! Boy from the Wu family, I know that your family has never wanted to take advantage of others in the courtyard.
Now I’m going to talk about you.
Although your family does not take advantage of the courtyard, it has less contact with the people in the courtyard, and it seems that your family is isolated from the courtyard.
Neighbors, how did this friendship come about?
You help me today and I will help you tomorrow.
I'll have a bite at your place today, and you'll have a bite at my place tomorrow.
What comes and goes is how friendship comes about.
As long as you don't hide your dirty thoughts, everyone comes and goes, don't worry about who takes advantage and who suffers, this is the relationship that neighbors should have!
As a family, you are not the kind of people who are petty and take advantage of others everywhere.
If you leave it to others, even if you let my old woman and my good grandson eat dragon liver, phoenix and gallbladder with nothing, we won’t be surprised!
That’s all I’m saying today. Once you understand, go back quickly!
Your wife is still waiting for you at home!
When you have decided on a day to treat us, come over and tell my old lady!
Go!"
After listening to the deaf old lady's words, Wu Xinghua was thoughtful, hesitated for a moment, and nodded: "Old lady, I have remembered your words.
I’ll have to think about it again later!
Then I’ll take my leave first.
Hongxuan, come and sit at home more often when you have time, even if you don’t eat, you can just drink some tea!”
Duan Hongxuan nodded: "Okay Angkor, as long as you and your sister-in-law don't bother me, I will often ask for a cup of tea in the future!"
Wu Xinghua nodded happily, then said hello to the three of them, and limped home.
After Wu Xinghua left, the deaf old lady said: "The Wu boy is a good young man and a real person.
The daughter-in-law I married is also a virtuous daughter-in-law who can endure hardships and is filial.
You said his life is good, but he lost his father when he was young, got into an accident at work, and lost half of his foot.
But if you want to say that his fate is bad, I am a reasonable person who understands right and wrong, can educate children, and can marry a virtuous and filial daughter-in-law.
All in all, this family has good character!
This is really true: people eat the same rice, and rice feeds all kinds of people!
Look at our small courtyard house, there are all kinds of families!"
Duan Hongxuan couldn't figure out why the deaf old lady suddenly felt so emotional, but he still said a few words of advice: "Grandma, let's live our own lives.
Every family has its own scriptures to read about things in the courtyard.
If you can't stand it, just say a few words. If you're not interested, just ignore it.
Don’t think too much!”
"Hongxuan is right, old lady, just listen to your dear grandson and don't think so much.
You guys chat first while I go see if Zhuzhu is back."
"Auntie, sit still and don't move.
I’ll just go and see it.
By the way, grandma, what shall we eat later?”
"It doesn't matter what time it is. I just finished the banquet two days ago, so I'll keep it simple today.
It’s outrageous that we can’t eat as much as we want!”
Duan Hongxuan pondered for a moment and said: "I'll just make noodles for a while, then pat some cucumbers and mix them with shredded radish."
"Okay, it's delicious to eat like this!"
"Then I'll go over and see if Brother Zhuzhu is back."
As soon as Duan Hongxuan got up, he met the second uncle Liu Haizhong and quickly said hello first.
"Hey! Hongxuan is here.
It’s time to eat, where are you going?”
"Second uncle, I'm going to see if Brother Zhuzhu is back.
The old lady asked me to call him over and make some noodles!"
Liu Haizhong nodded: "Zhu Zhu should have returned to the house now.
There is no receptionist in the factory today. He and the first uncle are right behind me. Go quickly!"
"Okay, thank you, second uncle!"
Duan Hongxuan came to the middle courtyard and happened to meet Yi Zhonghai coming out of the house.
"Hello, sir."
"Hongxuan is here, why did he come from the backyard?"
"The old lady asked me to come over and ask Brother Zhuzi to go over and make noodles. Auntie is over there. Stop cooking at your house and go to the old lady's house to eat noodles later!"
"Okay, let's go together.
Zhuzi came back with me. I just entered the house now. You shout at the door."
Duan Hongxuan came to the door of Shazhu's house, knocked on the door and shouted: "Brother Zhuzhu, are you in the house?"
"Hey, here!
It must be Hongxuan!"
As the words fell, Shazhu opened the door from the inside.
"Brother Zhuzhu, stop cooking.
Let's go to the old lady's place. The old lady will ask you to go over and make some noodles, then pat a cucumber and mix it with some shredded radish.
The uncle and the eldest mother will also go together."
"Yeah, I'm just getting ready to cook.
You guys are really good at calling people.
Let’s go! Let’s get you some noodles.
Who told me to be a cook!"
Duan Hongxuan chuckled, and Sha Zhu followed Yi Zhonghai to the backyard.
