Chen Min woke up at Ahu's house and saw that Ahu was still groggy. He told his good aunt to take good care of him and then went to the development zone to help.
Before the Chinese New Year, "Café Coral" had been cleaned thoroughly, and then the doors and windows were closed and locked.
When the door was opened, there was not much dust. After Cheng Tianyuan and his son cleaned it up, and with Chen Min's help, they finished it in the afternoon.
Cheng Tianyuan wrote a notice explaining that it would start early tomorrow morning.
Chen Min walked into the development zone, walked around in a circle and came back.
"Two factories will start operations the day after tomorrow, and many workers have returned. There are many people coming here."
Cheng Tianyuan didn't care much and explained: "Workers are coming one after another, let's open it first. If there are people, they will make more, and if there are no people, they will be idle for a while. It will take a few days to replenish the shelves."
Chen Mindao: "I will tell Alan when I get back and ask her to bring her friends over."
"Yeah." Cheng Tianyuan nodded.
Cheng Muhai asked with concern: "How is Ahu?"
Chen Min sighed: "I fell into a drowsy sleep, I guess it will take a few more days."
Cheng Muhai whispered: "It will be better if you run more frequently this time. It will be better if someone is with you."
"Yes!" Chen Min said: "Although I have a rough tongue, I can still say a few words, which are all good."
Cheng Muhai said: "The store has been opened. I will live here starting tonight. Let's go back for dinner first, and I will bring clothes over."
The three of them rode bicycles back to the development zone.
Cheng Muhai bought a second-hand bicycle after receiving his salary before the Chinese New Year.
He is old, and his health was not very good before. Since he was fitted with a prosthetic leg and took supplements and medicated diet for more than half a year, his health has become stronger and stronger.
Later, I helped out at Café de Coral. The work was not heavy, but my energy was much better.
Cheng Tianyuan saw that he was riding a bicycle briskly and neither slowly nor slowly, so he didn't stop him.
My home is close to the development zone, and there are not many cars. It takes less than five minutes to get there. It is more convenient to have a bicycle.
After returning home, the family gathered around to have dinner.
Cheng Tianfang was very excited and told everyone about what she had done in school today.
"I was a little scared at first, always feeling that I was too far behind the others. The teacher started to teach, and as I listened, I found that I knew everything. I was secretly happy for a long time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief."
Liu Ying said solemnly: "You can't be careless about that. If you don't study for a day, you will be a little slower than others. Reading is a must every day, otherwise you will regress."
"I know, Mom!" Cheng Tianfang gave her a piece of meat pie and explained: "This is delicious! My sister-in-law brought it here from the Imperial Capital."
Liu Ying smiled lovingly and looked at Xue Ling.
"With such delicious food, you should leave some for Haitang and your in-laws. Look, you brought several big bags with you, too much!"
Xue Ling smiled and explained: "My parents eat it often, so I don't have to worry about it. This is the traditional meat pie of the imperial capital. It is sold in the streets and alleys, which is unusual here. After eating for a while, I gave Ah Hu
Jia, Wang Qing and others will send some."
"Okay!" Cheng Tianyuan said: "They all have their share. We are going all the way, so we must bring some souvenirs."
Liu Ying thought for a while and said, "Leave some for Chen Min and the others."
"Yes!" Xue Ling explained: "They have them too. I also bought some accessories for girls to dress up. A Fang, you can come over and pick them out later. You and Chen Lan have them."
Cheng Muhai was full quickly and was playing with Xiao Ranran in his arms.
Xiao Ranran hadn't seen them for more than half a month and was a bit unfamiliar. She looked left and right from time to time, as if she was looking for something.
"This child is probably looking for his grandpa and grandma! Darling, we have gone home. Your father and mother will take you to the Imperial Capital during the Chinese New Year next year!"
Xue Ling laughed when he heard this and explained: "When I woke up this morning, I looked left and right, and kept looking around. I had an unfamiliar look that I was not used to, but it made me laugh!"
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "Have you called your parents today?"
"I called." Xue Ling said: "I said it was too late to settle down last night, so I didn't call. They said they wouldn't go to bed until eleven o'clock, but they couldn't fall asleep. They said they didn't have Xiao Ranran sleeping next to them, and they felt very uncomfortable for a while.
Habit."
Cheng Tianyuan laughed softly and explained: "Xiao Ranran has been sleeping next to them these days, and when she suddenly comes home, it is inevitable that they will not be used to it. Look, isn't the little guy used to it too?"
Liu Ying said proudly: "Although he is not used to it, he didn't cry, but he behaved well! If it were someone else's child, he would have burst into tears long ago."
"Yes!" Cheng Muhai happily lifted the little guy up and said with a smile, "Our little Ranran is a little man!"
Xiao Ranran became excited all of a sudden, shouted "Yeah" and giggled.
After everyone saw it, they all laughed.
After eating, Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan took the meat cakes to Ahu's house first.
Ahu's mother came to open the door, her eyes were red, her complexion was very bad, and her energy was also very low.
"...Is it you? Come on! Come in quickly."
Xue Ling saw that her old man had lost a lot of weight and her hair was messy. He sighed secretly and held her hand.
"Auntie, please take care of yourself. This family still needs you."
Ahu's mother swallowed even more and gestured to Ahu's room with her chin.
"I only have a son like this. If he feels uncomfortable since he was a child, I won't be able to eat or sleep. Now that he's in such a state, I can't take care of him... He's committing evil!"
Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling quickly helped the old man sit on the sofa in the living room.
The red double happiness banners at home are still attached, but everywhere is deserted and the atmosphere is depressing and uncomfortable.
Cheng Tianyuan saw Chen Min busy in the kitchen and quickly carried the meat pie over to help.
Chen Min had little cooking experience and was in a hurry.
"My aunt is not in good spirits. She even said she was dizzy just now. I didn't dare to let her come in and do some work. I asked her to sit in the living room."
Cheng Tianyuan took the shovel and started cooking quickly.
"You take a piece of meat pie and cut it into small slices."
Chen Min nodded "Oh".
After a while, one vegetable, one meat and one soup will be ready.
Chen Min chuckled and said: "You are really awesome. I can do simple things, but if you want to feed multiple people, I have no idea at all."
Cheng Tianyuan wiped his hands and said, "You go and serve the rice, and I'll call Ahu."
Chen Min nodded.
Cheng Tianyuan walked to Ahu's room. As soon as he opened the door, he was hit by the strong smell of alcohol and almost couldn't relax.
He frowned, quickly turned on the light, and strode back to open the window.
The air began to circulate quickly, and the alcohol smell in the room finally disappeared.
Cheng Tianyuan looked at the quilt, walked over and pulled it off - Ahu's face was flushed and he fell asleep in a daze.
"Ahu! Ahu!" Cheng Tianyuan pushed him, sensing that something was wrong with his face, and touched his forehead - it was frighteningly hot!
Cheng Tianyuan quickly shouted: "No! He has a high fever!"
As soon as he finished speaking, others rushed in.
Ahu's mother trembled: "Is he... is he... okay? I saw that he had been sleeping, so I wanted to let him sleep more, but I didn't know that he had a fever."
Chen Min asked: "Then - send him to the hospital?"
Cheng Tianyuan asked: "Has he eaten anything today?"
Ahu’s mother explained: “I only have a little bit of food in the morning, and then it’s gone.”
Xue Ling thought for a while and said quickly: "It's better to send him to the hospital! Help him up and put on his coat! Brother Yuan, you carry him on your back and I'll be responsible for driving!"
At night, everyone hurriedly sent Ahu to the hospital.
