Xie Qingshou met Gao Fei again in the Public Security Bureau. This time he was no longer a gangster fighting, but a young man who acted bravely.
The thieves who stole from "Fuchuan Garden" were discovered by Gao Fei.
That day, when Gao Fei got off work from the construction site, he and a few colleagues had a barbecue near the construction site. The neighbor at the table was drunk, and a man drunkenly yelled, saying that the price of gold had dropped, and all the things he brought in were worthless.
Gao Fei pricked up his ears warily.
The people at the next table were also vigilant and lowered their voices. Gao Fei pretended to be drunk and listened attentively. They said that this job in Laicheng was too big and the police must have been on their radar. Therefore, they had to change as soon as possible.
place.
One of them said that a real estate building was being built on Rulin Street, and his friend was working there. There were a lot of steel bars on the construction site, and the supervision was not strict. Before leaving the city, I just happened to take a walk, and it would be okay to say less.
It sells for one or two thousand yuan.
So, Gao Fei followed them to the construction site; then, he called Officer Cao; and then, the thieves were caught. And Gao Fei became the target of commendation.
Xie Qingshou's impression of Gao Fei had not completely changed, but he patted Gao Fei on the shoulder and praised: "Well done."
"Uncle, thank you very much."
According to the police, Gao Fei didn't ask for any reward and walked away without saying a word.
Later, when the summer vacation started, Wang Jiying sent Xie Jing to Beijing for training. Xie Qing stayed at home alone and had to go to his parents' house every day to deliver groceries and grab some food.
There is a vegetable farmer selling vegetables at the gate of the community, which is fresh and cheap. Xie Qingshou went shopping with one of the eldest sisters and thought she looked familiar. The eldest sister recognized him first: "Oh, aren't you the second child of the Xie family?"
"Oh, eldest sister, are you Wang Haochuan's aunt?"
The aunt took off her straw hat and revealed her dark face: "It's really you! Do you live in this community?"
"Well, it's been almost two years since I moved here. My parents also live here. Sister, why are you selling vegetables here?"
"There are so many vegetables at home that I can't finish them all. Your community is large and there are many people buying vegetables. I sell them very quickly. They were all sold out in one morning."
"That's quite hard. The sun is so strong and the weather is hot. Let's do this. You can sell me all the cucumbers and eggplants. My parents love to eat mixed cucumbers and steamed eggplants."
"You can't put away summer vegetables, so you don't need to buy so much." The aunt grabbed a handful of cucumbers and a handful of eggplants, rubbed the soil on her pants, put them into a plastic bag, and stuffed them into Xie Qing's hands.
Receive: "Take it!"
Xie Qingshou took out ten yuan, but the aunt refused to accept it, saying that there was no need for so much money. Xie Qingshou stuffed the money into her pocket, and the aunt chased after him and returned the money to him.
The two of them were fighting on the street.
Xie Qingshou said: "Sister, if you don't charge me money, will I still buy your food in the future?"
"You don't need to buy groceries at home. I'll come and deliver them to you every day, okay?"
"That's not possible. You have worked so hard to grow the vegetables and sell them here under the bright sun. You are just making hard money. How could I not give you the money?"
The aunt insisted: "My family doesn't make money by selling vegetables, I just make pocket money. The vegetables my family grows are usually shared with neighbors. Your family has helped my family so much, so what does it matter if I give it to you?"
Passing vehicles kept honking their horns to make room for the two people who were pulling.
Xie Qingshou said: "Sister, please accept the ten yuan first, and you don't have to look for me. I will come to you to buy groceries every day from now on, okay?"
The aunt wanted to refuse, so Xie Qingshou stuffed the money into her pocket: "In two years, Haochuan will get married, and your son will get married soon. My son is the same, so I really feel that every penny counts."
Everything is important and must be saved.”
"Isn't that right..." The aunt finally stopped refusing: "Then you can get more of today's dishes."
Okay, Xie Qingshou won’t pull any more.
Wang Haochuan's aunt said that the bird flu epidemic two years ago caused the family's economic conditions to plummet. In the past two years, her husband has gone to work outside, and she has been tending several acres of orchards at home, and her life has been okay.
The aunt neatly wrapped up all the vegetables Xie Qing bought, and even bought them as gifts, a big heavy bag.
She gave too much, and Xie Qing was embarrassed to buy more after taking it. He explained the situation to his father, and his father said that it would not look good if he avoided her from now on. Next time he goes shopping for groceries, bring it to her.
Order some snacks or something. She won't go hungry while the vegetables are being sold.
"Okay, I understand." Xie Qingshou quickly finished the bowl of noodles.
Xie Hongxuan clicked his tongue several times: "My wife is not at home, are you hungry?"
Xie Qing stopped speaking harshly: "I own a supermarket. I have everything in the store. How can I still starve myself? Besides, there are people selling breakfast in the area outside the community. I just don't like to move and I am too lazy to buy it."
"Huh! My wife has been away for three days, and your face has become smaller." Xie Hongxuan said, "With Ji Ying not at home, your house must be as messy as a doghouse! I don't even want to go to your house!"
"In two days, when Xie Jing gets used to it, she will come back." Xie Qingshou washed the bowl and said with a playful smile: "My wife is not at home, no one cares about me, I feel as comfortable as a god!"
His hair was a mess, his clothes were randomly worn, and he smelled of sweat. Xie Hongxuan looked disgusted and wanted to kick his son again.
Before leaving, Xie Qingshou went to the bedroom to visit his mother as usual. His mother wore reading glasses, listened to the radio, and basked in the sun. Her IQ and self-care ability had all regressed back to the time she was a baby, and there was no possibility of growth.
"Mom, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No." Feng Yuzhen was confused: "You call me mom, are you my son?"
"Yes!" Xie Qingshou said very loudly, for fear that his mother could not hear clearly: "I am Qingshou! I am the second eldest son of the Xie family!"
Feng Yuzhen still couldn't remember: "My son's name is Qingyi!"
Xie Qingshou pursed his lips and said, "Xie Qingyi is your eldest son! You also have a son named Xie Qingshou, have you forgotten?"
After saying the words, Xie Qingshou regretted it a little. His mother was so confused that she couldn't remember anything, so why bother irritating her anymore?
Xie Qingshou waved his hand and said: "Forget it, Mom, I'm leaving - well, Dad, you don't have to cook tonight, I'll bring back two dishes from the restaurant."
Xie Hongxuan washed a few cucumbers. Xie Qingshou picked up one and bit off a large piece in one bite. Xie Hongxuan said: "Look at your sloppy appearance, do you look a bit like a boss?"
Xie Qingshou wiped his hands on his clothes and smiled nonchalantly: "If you dress up too beautifully, your daughter-in-law won't be worried! Let's go!"
During this summer vacation, Wang Haochuan was the first to come back. He recommended graduate students, so he could have a stable and peaceful vacation.
As soon as he returned home, he accompanied his aunt to sell vegetables on the street. People coming and going praised Wang Haochuan, saying that he was not only handsome but also had a good attitude. Seeing his smile, his mood improved.
The aunt said proudly: "My nephew is very clever. With him here, I don't even need a calculator."
Xie Qingshou saw Wang Haochuan at the door of his community. Although he was wearing a straw hat, his face was still tanned and red. It is estimated that if he is exposed to the sun for a few more days, his neck will peel off.
Wang Haochuan didn't feel that selling vegetables was embarrassing at all, so he greeted Xie Qingshou warmly. Xie Qingshou didn't need to buy vegetables, so he invited Wang Haochuan to come and sit at home for a while.
"No, uncle, my aunt and I sold out the goods quickly. My aunt is having a birthday party in the village tonight. I will go back with her later."
"Oh, I also want to invite you to my house for dinner."
"Let's wait for Xie Chong to come back another day. I will go to your house again." Wang Haochuan said: "Xie Chong told me that he wanted to play for a few more days after the holiday and then come back."
"He also told me that he has been very tired this year. If he wants to play, let's go play! By the way, Haochuan, your sister has given birth to a baby, right?"
"Well, she's a little girl. She's almost half a year old now." When mentioning his little niece, Wang Haochuan's eyes were full of tenderness: "The second brother has no vacation, and my sister is busy at work. They won't be back for a while. Wait a few days.
, I plan to go to Guangzhou to visit them."
"That's good. When your aunt and I took Xie Chong to Guangzhou, we didn't have many relatives, so we were lonely. If you go to see your sister, she will definitely be very happy, and children also like the excitement."
"Jingyi is working too hard." The aunt interjected: "The man often can't go home, and the children all depend on her. Although her mother-in-law went to help, she still has a lot to worry about. She is so good at studying and capable, so she shouldn't
Trapped at home. Oh, it would be great if her parents could help. Even if they just lend a hand, it would save her a lot of time and allow her to rush forward. Unfortunately, those two people are just hands-off shopkeepers and don't want to do anything.
Tube."
When he mentioned his parents, Wang Haochuan's smile became more helpless.
Although Rulin Street was demolished, the Xie family kept in touch with many of their old neighbors. The Hua family's store was relocated, but Xie Qingshou still went there often to shop; not to mention Zhou Mingli and Song Jinquan, who both lived in the same store.
In a community - to be more precise, they all bought new houses with the help of Xie Qingshou, so they still didn't look up or down.
As for Wang Yuchun, Xie Qingshou never saw him again and didn't know how he was doing.
Wang Haochuan did not want to mention his father. He only said that his father was still the same. His father had never been there when his sister gave birth. Wang Haochuan wanted to get angry with his father, but his father actually gave his sister a thousand yuan and asked her to take care of herself.
Take a rest and buy some clothes, milk powder, etc. for the child.
Wang Haochuan is even more helpless. His father is like this. If you have expectations for him, he will immediately throw cold water on you. To say that he is useless, he still has a bit of humanity, although not much.
They chatted for a while. The aunt had sold out all the vegetables and was packing her things to go home. Wang Haochuan quietly told Xie Qingshou that Gao Fei had helped his aunt with work several times in the past year.
Xie Qing closed his pupils and said: "He... still has this consciousness?"
"The first time I went there, he didn't know. At that time, my aunt hired people to harvest apples, and Gao Fei went with her. At that time, fruit farmers were in need of manpower, and Gao Fei's legs were not yet good enough, so no one else wanted him.
, my aunt was kind-hearted, so she hired him."
"While picking apples, my aunt chatted with him and asked him how he came to do this at such a young age? Because young people like Gao Fei are all in school or working in other places to help pick apples.
, most of them are housewives or elderly people. Gao Fei said that he could not find more
A good job. My aunt told him that Gao Fei was the same age as her nephew. After making money, he still had to study hard and go to college like her nephew. Her nephew, that is, me. It happened to be in my aunt's wallet.
There was a photo of me in military uniform, and after seeing that photo, Gao Fei was dumbfounded."
"Later, when my aunt's house was bagging apples and harvesting wheat, Gao Fei came to help and only charged the minimum amount of money. However, Gao Fei never mentioned his relationship with me from beginning to end. Was he worried?
Once my aunt finds out about our grudge, will she never hire him again?
When my aunt told me about it, I was also surprised. It stands to reason that Gao Fei is so prosperous that he can find a better job in the city, but why does he help my aunt again and again? The living style of the countryside
You don’t get much money for sunbathing, and most people don’t like to do it. Why would he do it?”
Wang Haochuan finished speaking in one breath, and Xie Qingshou said: "Because, he feels sorry for you."
"I've thought about it too. But...it doesn't seem to be in line with Gao Fei's character."
"Although people are difficult to change, they are not static." Xie Qingshou said: "If you see Gao Fei again, you will probably doubt your own eyes, because he has changed."
