Cheng Muhai looked up alertly, quickly put down his chopsticks and ran to open the door.
"Who?!Who is where?"
At this time, a black shadow came out of the corner, "Uncle Ahai, it's me! I'm Abo."
Cheng Muhai frowned and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing in my yard?"
The man was short and fat, dirty, and smiled and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do when I eat, so I'm out for a walk. I heard from the village head Aunt Liu that Uncle Chang was already ready, so I came over to see him. I saw you just now.
The door, just as you were about to come to the window and shout, you came out."
Cheng Muhai nodded and explained: "It's windy at night, so we'll close the door so it won't be cold inside."
"Is that true?" Cheng Bo poked his head and acted to drill into the room.
Cheng Muhai stopped him and whispered: "Brother Chang's health is not completely healed yet. He will have to get a drip tomorrow. If you want to see him, come back tomorrow. He has enough to go to rest."
"How is that?" Cheng Bo smiled and said, "It's okay, then I'll come back tomorrow."
After speaking, he shook his head and left.
Cheng Muhai watched his figure merge into the darkness before turning around and closing the door and returning to the kitchen.
Liu Ying asked: "What's wrong? Who is it?"
Cheng Muhai explained: "It's Cheng Bo."
"What? Who?" Liu Ying frowned and asked in surprise.
Cheng Muhai whispered: "It's A Biao's son, the one... the one who is not dead. He has been imprisoned for more than ten years and has just been released recently."
"Where is his mother?" Liu Ying asked: "Are you still alive?"
"I'm still crazy when I'm alive." Cheng Muhai explained: "She goes crazy from time to time. The village chief sent her to the mental hospital several times, but unfortunately she can't be cured. Later, her condition improved and she returned to the village. Ayuan sent her to the village chief.
The village chief asked everyone to donate some, and they gathered about 3,000 yuan. He simply built a small house for her so that she could live in it. Unfortunately, she would go crazy from time to time, curse everywhere, and even snatch other people's things.
I heard from the village chief that many people in the village were very angry, but because she was alone in her family and it was not easy to have an attack, I had to endure it. Now the village allocates 200 yuan to buy rice for her every year
eat."
Liu Ying couldn't help asking: "That Abo... lives with Aunt Biao now?"
"Yes." Cheng Muhai whispered: "Where can you live in that small house if you can't live? There was something wrong with his family at that time, and even the house was blown up, and nothing was left. The village chief led some older people in the village,
From time to time, I wrote letters to my superiors to plead, saying that there was an old mother in his family who was not conscious and needed him to come back to take care of her. The superiors said that he had repentant attitude was also good, so he let him out in advance. The village chief said that he came back half a year ago.
of."
Liu Ying nodded and asked, "What are he here to do?"
Cheng Muhai shook his head: "I said I'm visiting Brother Chang, I'll ask him to come back tomorrow. That boy was not clean since he was a child. The village chief said he still didn't repent and was sneaking all day long, and he still liked to do something stealing. Our family still
I didn’t let him in before I moved in formally and the things were messy.”
Liu Ying recalled the past and his anger rose.
"He stole our chickens and eggs a lot back then! I remember when Ayuan was thirteen years old, his shoes were so hard that they could not be replenished, and he always had frostbite in winter. I felt sorry for him, so I tried to save eggs, and one of them was also a good match.
I couldn't bear to eat it. I finally saved twenty eggs and planned to sell them to Ayuan to buy shoes. Unexpectedly, when we came back from the field, the eggs were gone. The stinky brat climbed in to steal eggs, and Aunt Hua next door saw it with her own eyes
.When I think about it now, I am still full of anger. His family has money and meat to eat, and he also came to steal eggs - the eggs were half my life at that time!"
"Okay, okay." Cheng Muhai lowered his voice: "There is nothing but that house now. We good people do good things and manage our own affairs. The things that happened back then were over."
He lost one arm and fell ill every few days. The children were still young, so he couldn't do anything to the tough and unreasonable Cheng Biao and his wife.
Even if they know that the egg was stolen by their son, what else can they do besides swallowing their anger?
Liu Ying curled her lips and turned to the kitchen to clean up.
More than an hour later, Cheng Tianyuan brought his family back.
Cheng Muhai and Liu Ying hurried out to greet him.
Xue’s father and mother held the children, while Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan moved out of the car in big bags.
"Aunt Ah Hu gave us a lot of ingredients. These dishes and radishes were grown by her own. These were given by Sister Cuiliu, and there were several bags of jerky!"
Liu Ying smiled and said, "You are so polite! Have you given the gifts we brought to Ah Hu's mother and the others?"
"Yes." Xue Ling explained: "It's all specialties from the imperial capital, and there are several bags of tea."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said, "They will come over the day after tomorrow. Ahu's mother said she is going to stay here for two days and reminisce about the past with you."
"Then I'll wait!" Liu Ying smiled happily.
The children went out early in the morning, and today they were exhausted after going around all day. After washing their faces and feet, they all fell asleep on the bed.
"Where is Xiao Yue?" Xue's mother asked.
Dad Xue smiled and replied: "Just wash his little face and hands, he fell asleep."
Cheng Muhai smiled and said, "We are all exhausted."
"Don't talk about the children, I'm exhausted." Xue Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'll go take a shower and go upstairs to sleep."
She checked several children in one room, and then went back to the master bedroom to take a shower.
Cheng Tianyuan moved the things to the kitchen, carefully tidied them up, and asked, "Are all the water heaters upstairs easy to use?"
"Okay!" Cheng Muhai explained: "Liu Xiaoyu said he specially ordered the best one, so that we can use it with confidence. What else is it... By the way, you can have a warranty within one year."
"What is a warranty?" Liu Ying asked curiously.
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "The warranty for one year means that if it breaks or breaks down within one year, their after-sales department will come to repair it for us for free. As long as it is within one year, all of it will be free."
"Oh! It's pretty good!" Liu Ying nodded.
Cheng Muhai couldn't help but remind: "Be careful to use the appliances I just bought for a few years, probably won't break down. A year is too short. If they often break down within a year, it's hard to make such a guarantee, otherwise it will cost money.
How many."
"That's true." Liu Ying shook her head and said, "There's nothing to be happy about."
Dad Xue was drinking tea and sat lazily on the leather sofa, his face full of sillyness.
"Ahu's mother's skills are still so good! The big lamb leg she roasted made us so full. Several children ate a lot, and even Xiao Yue ate a lot."
"The most delicious rice cake she made is the one she made, which tastes so sweet." Xue's mother echoed: "Her craftsmanship is really amazing! The master of the city hotel can't beat Tiger Mom."
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Because of this, Ahu and Amin always compete for her. The elderly in their 80s are still as tough as before, and the housework is quick and fast. When she went to the provincial capital, Amin's family was thinking about it.
, call her every day to urge her to return to Rongcheng. When she came to the county town, Ah Hu's family always called to urge her. The two families were scrambling to ask for Ah Hu's mother, and the children all said she was the most popular grandma."
Everyone laughed.
Cheng Muhai smiled and the smile on his lips slowly stopped.
Some elderly people are spoiled and fought for as treasures. Some elderly people are abandoned and trashed like garbage.
Alas! The world is so unfair!
They are all old people, why is the difference so big!
