When Chu Heng came to the courtyard, most of the old neighbors in the courtyard had finished their dinner. Some hard-working women found out their needles and threads after cleaning up the housework, and took advantage of the break before going to bed to sew and mend at home. People who had nothing to do gathered in the courtyard chatting, and there were also energetic children running around and playing in the courtyard.
After he entered the hospital, he chatted with his old neighbor for a while, and after being polite for a while, he went straight to the backyard carrying a net bag filled with supplements and food.
When passing by Xu Damao's house, Chu Heng glanced at the moving figures in the house. He did not go there immediately, but turned around and went to the deaf old lady's house first.
At this time, the deaf old lady's place was very lively. The two old ladies, Aunt Yi and Aunt Liu, were both talking and laughing with the two deaf old ladies and sisters.
Qin Jingru was also sitting at the door, holding the little Huniu who couldn't stop for a moment, and Yu Li, who was also holding her own child, chattering.
"Oh, it's so lively!"
When Chu Heng came in and looked at the room full of women, he felt that the yang energy in his body had weakened a lot.
“Brother!”
“Here comes Tsuneko.”
“Why are you so free today?”
"Oh, why did you bring so many things with you?"
Several people in the room greeted him with smiles. The happiest among them was Qin Jingru, followed by Yu Li, who had a fox face. .
Eh?
What is Yu Li so happy about?
“I’ve been busy these days and I have nothing to do tonight, so I came to see the child.” Chu Heng put the net bag on the cabinet at the door and took out a wooden teething stick from it and handed it to Qin Jingru. , carefully warned: "Give it to Hu Niu, the grinder of Zanthoxylum bungeanum." Teeth stick, she is teething now, let her bite this if nothing happens, it can relieve inflammation and itching, and prevent her from crying when she feels uncomfortable. But remember one thing, after using it, boil it in boiling water to kill Sterilize, otherwise it will become infected over time.”
"Yeah, I'll remember it." Qin Jingru happily handed the small wooden stick that was polished very smooth to the little Huniu and teased: "Look, your godfather gave this to you, do you like it?"
“Ah!”
Little Huniu is very curious, and most of the ways for children at this stage to understand the world are to take a bite first and then talk about it. I saw her reaching out and holding the molar stick with both hands. She already had several teeth when she opened it, and she was often itchy. He took a bite with his little mouth.
Huh?
So comfortable!
Biting the pepperwood, the little guy's eyes lit up, and he felt that the discomfort in his mouth immediately improved a lot. He chewed harder, and the small front teeth made a clicking sound on the small wooden stick.
Like a little mouse.
Looking at the little Huniu who had calmed down, Qin Jingru widened her watery eyes in surprise: "Ah, it's really easy to use. If you bite it, you won't make a fuss."
"That's for sure. "Yes, why don't I give it to her?" Chu Heng said with a smile.
"Hengzi." Yu Li stared straight at Chu Heng, her voice was pretentious and artificial, and she said coquettishly: "When will you get me one of these? This kid in my family has also been doing this recently. Too noisy with teeth.”
The reason why she was like this was not because she wanted to hook up with Chu Heng or something else, but she simply wanted to be gentle in front of this high-quality human man so as not to make him hate her.
Just like some men always like to pretend to be gentlemen in front of beautiful women and show their best side.
Totally instinctive.
Chu Heng didn’t take this seriously. There were many women who got angry in front of him, and Yu Li was not an exception. She had long been used to it. He responded with a smile: “Okay, it’s just right. I still have a lot of Zanthoxylum bungeanum. I’ll get some for Uncle Yan when I go to work.”
“Thank you so much,” Yu Limei said with a smile.
"Ah!"
At this time, the slightly older son in her arms saw the little tiger girl chewing the teething stick and it was delicious. He began to struggle in the mother's arms and wanted to grab it and have a taste.
Yu Li put the child on the kang and then turned back to continue chatting with Chu Heng.
This guy has been fighting for several months longer than the little Huniu, and he is already very fast. As soon as Yu Li let go, he was like a runaway husky, crawling towards the little Huniu using his hands and feet, and soon he reached her in front of her, and then directly reached out to grab the teething stick in her hand.
Little Huniu hid for a few times, and when she saw this kid kicking his nose and face, she took out the teething stick from her mouth in annoyance, rounded her little arm and knocked him on the head!
"Boom!"
A muffled sound.
“Ouch!”
Yu Li’s son suddenly burst into tears and sat there wiping his tears.
“Ha!”
Chu Heng grinned, yes, he is someone who will not suffer any loss!
“Cry, cry, cry, I will cry every day.” Yu Li, who was happily chatting with a high-quality human male, took her son back with an unhappy look on her face.
Ignorant little thing!
Qin Jingru also picked up the little Huniu and lectured her gently: "How can you hit your brother? You won't be allowed to do this again in the future, you know?"
"Crack, click!"
The little Huniu glanced at the old woman who had forgotten the baby after having a man, grabbed the teething stick and continued to chew.
I am a child, I don’t understand...
“Oh, what do you think she is doing? Isn’t it normal for children to play and fight?” Chu Heng could not do it himself. The daughter was taught a lesson, she reached out to hold the child over, and teased with a smile: "How is it? Do you like the teething stick given by your godfather?"
The little tiger girl ignored him and gnawed on her own.
"Xiao Hengzi, come here, my wife has something to discuss with you." The deaf old lady waved to him at this time.
"What's wrong?" Chu Heng walked over with the child in his arms.
"It's the anniversary of my father's death. My wife wants you to drive me and your wife, Mrs. Xiumei, to burn some paper for him. Can you spare some time?" the old lady said with a smile.
"Hey, there's nothing you can't do. Don't worry, the two of you, eldest son, can just wait at home. I'll be here early in the morning." Chu Heng agreed happily, and then asked what preparations he would need at that time. After talking about home affairs for a while, on the pretext that Tian'er could take the child out for some fresh air, with Yu Li's reluctant eyes, she came out of the house with the little Huniu in her arms.
After holding the child for a few times in the yard, he came to the door of Xu's house and gently opened the door twice with his foot.
“Bang bang bang!”
"Hengzi!"
Xu Damao, who was listening to the radio in the room, looked through the glass window on the door and saw that he was coming. He hurriedly ran over to open the door. Seeing that his face seemed a little ugly, he bowed his waist in confusion. With a smile on his face, he said: "Why are you so free today? Come in, come in."
Chu Heng didn't say anything and just carried the child into the house.
Yu Haitang also walked out of the back room at this time, looked at him with a smile, and greeted: "Here we come."
Looking at the already a little pregnant person, Chu Heng His expression softened, and he nodded gently to her, then sat down in front of the Eight Immortals table in the outer room with the child in his arms.
"This child is growing up so fast. Come on, let me give you a hug." Xu Damao came up to him and stretched out his hand to the little tiger girl with an envious look on his face.
“Go away!”
Chu Heng hugged the child and hid for a while, frowned and pointed to the bench next to him: “Sit down, I have something to ask you.”
Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, sat down as he was told, and asked with some anxiety: "What's the matter? Hengzi." "Let me ask you, did you go to the hospital recently to see if you can't have children?" Chu Heng asked calmly.
"Yes...that's what happened." Xu Damao nodded nervously, wondering why he was asking this.
“Touch!”
Seeing him admit it, Chu Heng slapped the table angrily.
Huh?
Little Huniu shivered immediately, biting the pepper wood angrily and looked up at him, her dark eyes becoming a little moist.
You knock again!
Knock again and I will cry for you!
Chu Heng, who was about to roar a few words, immediately lowered his voice when he saw this, gritted his teeth and said: "Are you afraid that others will not know that the child in Yu Haitang's belly is not yours? Do you know what is happening now? It's already spread like wildfire? How stupid is Lian? Zhudu is chewing on your tongue!"
Xu Damao then understood what was going on, and immediately panicked, and said quickly: "I didn't mean that, Hengzi, I just..."
"Shut up!"
Chu Heng stared at him coldly and hummed: "I don't want to know what you think, and I don't want to care about it, but remember one thing. If people know that this child has something to do with me, why don't you just wait Go to Jinshui River to feed the bastard!”
“Remember, I’m not kidding you anymore!”
After saying that, he got up angrily and left Xu’s house in a hurry.
Xu Damao's face turned pale with fright, and he sat on the stool and patted his thigh remorsefully: "Oh, look at what a fuss this is."
He and Chu Heng have been neighbors for many years, and they He was relatively understanding, and he could tell that the other party was really not joking.
Yu Haitang, who was pouring water for Chu Heng, put down the useless cup at this time, glanced at the grandson expressionlessly, touched his belly, sneered, and went back to the room to read.
She didn't care at all about Xu Damao's purpose of going to the doctor, let alone asked. She only cared about the child in her belly now.
In the outhouse.
Xu Damao was so anxious at this time that he scratched the wall, his eyes rolling around, thinking hard about the solution to the rumors.
This kid has no skills, but he has a lot of clever ideas. After just thinking for a while, he had an idea, and then he saw him hurriedly putting on his clothes and grabbing two bottles of wine. Then he walked out of the house.
Xu Damao came to the middle courtyard quickly. He glanced at the closed door of Shazhu's house with a resentful look on his face, grinded his teeth hard, and turned towards Liu Haizhong's house.
At this moment, Shazhu and Yan Jiefang were both at Liu's house. They were chatting with Liu Guangtian and Liu Haizhong and his son. Coincidentally, the person they were talking about was Xu Damao's medical treatment.
"Do you think this is true or not?"
"I think it is 80% true. Think about it, Xu Damao has not had children for many years, why did Yu Haitang suddenly Are you pregnant?”
“Hey, this grandson really goes out to drink for the sake of the child!”
A few people were chatting enthusiastically when Xu Damao suddenly walked in from outside and greeted with a smile: "Jiefang is here too, is this day shift?"
They immediately stopped talking and looked at him with a strange expression. he.
"Yes, the shift was just completed two days ago." Yan Jiefang said with a guilty conscience.
"Come and sit here, Damao." But there was nothing visible on Liu Haizhong's face. He glanced at the wine in the other person's hand and waved to him with a smile.
The old man had a lot of trouble with Xu Damao in the factory. For a period of time, the two families didn't even have much contact with each other. But after all, they are both old neighbors. After a long period of fading away, the two families gradually began to move around again.
Two days ago we were sitting together drinking.
“Alas.”
Xu Damao came to the table at this time and sat down next to Liu Guangtian.
"I said, are you blind? Didn't you see your grandpa and me here?" Seeing that he didn't say hello to him, Silly Zhu stared unhappily.
"Come on, smoke." Liu Guangtian happily took out the cigarette and smoked it in a circle, looking at Xu Damao's crotch.
"I don't talk to beasts." Xu Damao snorted after taking the cigarette, put the wine in his hand on the table, pretended to be in pain, and said to Liu Haizhong: "Uncle Liu, I had something to do when I came here today. I want to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Liu Haizhong asked curiously.
“That’s what happened. During this time, I had a lot of trouble peeing, and sometimes I peeed blood. I went to the hospital some time ago and they said it was prostatitis. They also prescribed me a lot of medicine, but why? It's useless to eat. It was the same as it was before, and it's still the same now." Xu Damao sighed and said, "I remember you had the same problem last year, and you used it later. Is the remedy good? So I just want to ask you how you treated the disease at that time."
"Hey, that's it. Remember it, go back and get some coix seeds. Grind it into powder and buy some adzuki beans..." For the sake of the two bottles of wine, the old man didn't hide it and shared his home remedy without reservation.
Xu Damao memorized the folk prescription, and after carefully asking about the precautions and source, he hurriedly left on the pretext of buying medicine.
After he left, Liu Haizhong happily picked up the two bottles of Erguotou and looked at them. He also glanced sideways at Silly Zhu and the others who were just talking about something, and said a lesson: "You guys, don't just listen to the wind and rain every day. Xu Damao just got prostatitis, and it’s a problem for you, but it’s true.”
“Hey, I just heard what others said.” Silly Zhu scratched his head angrily.
“Keke!”
It happened that Chu Heng was wandering here with Hu Niu in his arms at this time. He also heard what they said, with a satisfied smile on his face, and immediately walked into the house. : "It was a good chat. It’s so lively.”
Seeing that Shazhu and the others were smoking and the room was filled with smoke, he frowned again and said in a nonchalant manner: “Hurry up and put out the cigarettes for me, don’t let the children smoke them.”< br>
"Alas."
"Oh, a distinguished guest is coming. Wife, go and make some tea. There is a box of good tea under the bed in our room."
"Sit here, Tsuneko. "
His treatment was much better than that of Xu Damao, and everyone in the room quickly stood up and welcomed him in.
Chu Heng didn’t stay here for too long. He drank a cup of tea and chatted for a while. When the little Huniu started to yawn, he hugged the child and left.
Back in the backyard, he returned the child to Qin Jingru, and then chatted with the old lady. When it was dark and Aunt Yi and Liu were leaving, he also stood up to say goodbye and left the old lady. Home, prepare to go to Du Sanna and wait there.
A few people just came out of the house. Xu Damao, who had returned from shopping, suddenly opened the door and said to Chu Heng with a flattering look: "Hengzi, come here, I have something to tell you."< br>
Chu Heng wrinkled and hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.
After taking him into the house, Xu Damao quickly closed the door, truthfully reported to him the method he thought of, and then promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to cover up this matter without anyone. No more talking nonsense.”
“I got it.”
Chu Heng nodded his head expressionlessly, then turned around and left the Xu family. He was sighing in his heart that Xu Damao was a little bad, but his brain was really smart. With such a lot of effort, he could actually Let him sort things out!
Sure enough, there are no useless people in this world, it just depends on whether they are useful in the right place.
