Cheng Muhai raised his head warily, quickly put down his chopsticks, and ran to open the door.
"Who?! Who is where?"
At this time, a dark figure came out of the corner, "Uncle Ahai, it's me! I'm Apo."
Cheng Muhai frowned and couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing in my yard?"
The man was short and fat and dirty. He said with a playful smile: "I have eaten and have nothing to do, so I came out for a walk. I heard Aunt Liu from the village said that Uncle Chang was well, so I came over to see him. I just saw you locked up.
Door, I was about to come to the window and shout, but you came out."
Cheng Muhai nodded and explained: "It's windy at night, so we close the door so it doesn't get cold inside."
"Really?" Cheng Bo probed his head, trying to get into the house.
Cheng Muhai stopped him and whispered: "Brother Chang is not fully recovered yet, and he will have to take a sling tomorrow. If you want to see him, come back tomorrow. He has eaten enough and gone to rest."
"Is that so?" Cheng Bo said with a smile, "It's okay, then I'll come back tomorrow."
After saying this, he shook his head and left.
Cheng Muhai watched his figure disappear into the darkness, then turned around, closed the door, and returned to the kitchen.
Liu Ying asked: "What happened? Who is it?"
Cheng Muhai explained: "It's Cheng Bo."
"What? Who?" Liu Ying frowned and asked in surprise.
Cheng Muhai whispered: "That's A Biao's son, the one who... is not dead. He was imprisoned for more than ten years and was recently released."
"Where is his mother?" Liu Ying asked, "Is she still alive?"
"She was still crazy when she was alive." Cheng Muhai explained: "She went crazy from time to time. The village chief sent her to a mental hospital several times, but unfortunately she couldn't be cured. Later, her condition improved and she returned to the village. A Yuan gave her money to the village chief.
Two thousand yuan, the village chief asked everyone to donate some, and the total was about three thousand yuan. He simply built a small house for her and let her live in it. Unfortunately, she would go crazy from time to time, swearing everywhere, and even grabbing other people's things.
Eat. I heard from the village chief that many people in the village were very angry, but since she was alone at home, it was hard for her to have an attack, so she had to endure it. Now the village allocates 200 yuan to buy rice for her every year.
eat."
Liu Ying couldn't help but ask: "That Abo...is living with Aunt Biao now?"
"Yes." Cheng Muhai whispered: "Where can I live if I don't live in that small house? Something happened to his house at that time. Even the house was demolished and nothing was left. The village chief took many old people in the village,
From time to time, he wrote letters to the superiors to plead for mercy, saying that he still had an old mother at home who was delirious and needed him to come back and take care of her. The superiors said that his repentant attitude was good, so they released him in advance. I heard from the village chief that he came back half a year ago
of."
Liu Ying nodded and asked, "What is he here for?"
Cheng Muhai shook his head: "He said he came to see Brother Chang, and I asked him to come back tomorrow. That kid has dirty hands and feet since he was a child. The village chief said that he still has no repentance, sneaks around all day, and still likes to do sneaky things. Our family still has
Before we officially moved in, and things were in a mess, I didn't let him in."
Liu Ying recalled the past, and her anger increased.
"He stole our chickens and eggs all the time back then! I remember when A Yuan was thirteen years old, his shoes could no longer be mended, and he always got frostbite in the winter. I felt sorry for him, so I tried my best to save eggs, and he couldn't save any eggs.
I couldn't bear to eat it. I finally saved up twenty eggs and planned to sell them to A Yuan to buy shoes. Unexpectedly, when we came back from the fields, the eggs were all gone. That brat climbed in through the window and stole the eggs. Auntie Hua next door saw it with her own eyes.
Thinking about it now, I still feel angry. His family had money and meat to eat, but he still came to steal eggs - eggs were half my life at that time!"
"Okay, okay." Cheng Muhai lowered his voice: "Now I have nothing but that house. We good people do good things and mind our own business. What happened back then is in the past."
At that time, he lost an arm, fell ill every three days, and the children were still young. There was nothing he could do to the tough and unreasonable Cheng Biao and his wife.
Even if they knew that the eggs were stolen by their son, what else could they do except swallow their anger?
Liu Ying pouted, turned around and went into the kitchen to clean up.
More than an hour later, Cheng Tianyuan came back with a large family.
Cheng Muhai and Liu Ying hurried out to greet them.
Xue's father and mother held the children, while Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan carried large and small bags into the car.
"Aunt Ahu gave us a lot of ingredients. She grew these vegetables and radishes herself. These were given by sister-in-law Cuiliu, and there are also several bags of beef jerky!"
Liu Ying laughed and said, "That's so polite! Have you given the gifts we brought to Ahu Mom and the others?"
"Yes." Xue Ling explained: "They are all specialties of the imperial capital, and there are several bags of tea."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said: "They will come over the day after tomorrow. Ahu Mom said she will stay here for two days to catch up with you."
"Then I'll wait!" Liu Ying smiled happily.
The children went out early in the morning. They were exhausted from going back and forth all day today. After washing their faces and feet, they all fell asleep on the bed [ www.biqugetv.co ].
"Where is Xiao Yue?" Xue's mother asked.
Dad Xue replied with a smile: "I just washed his face and hands and he fell asleep."
Cheng Muhai chuckled and said, "I'm exhausted."
"Don't talk about the kids, I'm exhausted too." Xue Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm going to take a bath and go upstairs to sleep right away."
She went from room to room to check on the children, and then went back to the master bedroom to take a shower.
Cheng Tianyuan moved the things to the kitchen, packed them carefully, and asked, "Is the water heater upstairs easy to use?"
"Okay!" Cheng Muhai explained: "Liu Xiaoyu said that he specially ordered the best one so that we can use it with confidence. What else did he say... By the way, it can be guaranteed within one year."
"What is a warranty?" Liu Ying asked curiously.
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "The one-year warranty means that if it breaks or malfunctions within one year, their after-sales department will come and repair it for free for us. As long as it is within one year, everything is free of charge."
"Oh! Very good!" Liu Ying nodded.
Cheng Muhai couldn't help but remind: "The electrical appliances I just bought probably won't break down if I use them carefully for a few years. One year is too short. If it breaks down frequently within a year, it's hard for people to make such a guarantee, otherwise it will be a waste of manpower, material and money."
How many."
"That's true." Liu Ying shook her head and said, "There's nothing to be happy about."
Father Xue drank tea and sat lazily on the leather sofa, his face full of innocence.
"Ahu's mother's cooking is still so good! The big leg of lamb she roasted was enough for us. The children all ate a lot, even Xiao Yue ate a lot."
"The best thing is the rice cakes she makes. It tastes so sweet." Xue's mother agreed: "Her craftsmanship is really amazing! Even the chefs in the big hotels in the city can't beat the tiger mother."
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Because of this, Ahu and Amin always compete for her. The old man in his eighties is still as tough as before, and he does housework quickly and efficiently. When she went to the provincial capital, Amin's family was thinking about her.
, calling her every day to urge her to return to Rongcheng. When she came to the county town, Ahu's family always called to urge her. The two families were vying for Ahu'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 froze.
The elderly in some families are pampered and fought over as treasures. The elderly in some families are abandoned and trashed like garbage.
Alas! How unfair the world is!
They are both old people, so why is the gap so big?
