Ye Fan came out of Wei Jianshe's store and went diagonally across the street to tell Dong Ying that Chu Guangming would go to her store to help.
Dong Ying: "My store is too big for one person, so just stay here."
"I heard that the Chu family is not sensible, and I'm worried that they will come over to make trouble and run into you." Zhang Xiaoming is a reliable partner, and Ye Fan doesn't want anything to happen to his family. "There are three salespeople next door to my clothing store. My cousin followed the example of a rural shrew. He was very good at scolding, and the Chu family couldn’t get any favors from him in the past.”
Dong Ying knows how to fight but doesn't yell or curse, and she won't argue with her when she hears her words.
Ye Fan came out of Dong Ying's store and was enjoying himself. He went from one store to another, as if he was patrolling the store. People who don't know think that these clothing stores all belong to her.
Coincidentally, some people really think so and think that Ye Fan's business is very profitable.
The most important thing for a clothing store is the supply of goods, so this person focused on her. At the end of October, Ye Fan and Chang Guangrong went south again. She followed him to the station to find out where the train Ye Fan took went directly to and where it passed.
This person is a neighbor on the street where Ye Fan's clothing store is. After figuring out the train number and going home to study with relatives and friends for a long time, she thought that the place Ye Fan went to was Hangzhou, and that the Western-style winter clothes in Ye Fan's store were all purchased in Hangzhou.
At the end of the twelfth night of the Gregorian calendar, Ye Fan went south for the last time before the Spring Festival. As soon as the train started, he met Ye Fan in a few neighborhoods. Then he took out the food he had brought and let Ye Fan taste it together. If you don't reach out and hit the smiling person, Ye Fan certainly can't say not to follow us.
Although the clothes they got were the same as Ye Fan's, the wholesale price was more expensive than Ye Fan's. Because they had less goods, they were only slightly cheaper than the retail price.
They didn't expect to keep staring at Ye Fan, so they didn't know where Ye Fan got his small commodities. After coming back, he saw that Ye Fan's store had a lot of small products, and one of them started talking to Ye Fan's cheap cousin.
Ye Fan reminded his cousin that doing business requires harmony and wealth. Someone would tell him from time to time just to tell him a few words, so as to prevent him from taking risks and having bad intentions. So the neighbor asked her cousin for the third time to find out. She told her that small commodities were also sold in the south, but not in Hangzhou. When the cousin named the city, she didn't mention the specific location because she didn't know it either.
After getting Ye Fan's supply, there were no more sneaky people in front of her clothing store.
Ye Fan didn't need to worry about the clothing store until now. Ye Fan just focused on the company's affairs. The day after Ye Fan tallied up the net profits, she spent her own money to buy several gifts for her tutors, school leaders, leaders of the Ministry of Industry, and leaders of the foundry.
The gift was not valuable, and someone who complained about it was not considered bribery, and it was sent to the other person's heart. These people all believed that Ye Fan was a good person.
Ye Fan knew what the school leaders were most concerned about, so after sending out the gifts, Ye Fan went to Tianjin City to file taxes, and he would receive dividends when he came back from Tianjin City.
Ye Fan first sent the school's share, and then Chang Guangrong's share, but Chang Guangrong didn't want it, so he asked Ye Fan to expand the scale. Ye Fan decided to use 80% of her share to buy a house as an office and two stores. The last five students each received nearly 2,000 yuan, and the three juniors received a bonus of 200 yuan. Ye Fan stuffed the money into the envelope and handed it to everyone.
Junior brother joked: "We can still be jealous."
One of Ye Fan's classmates poured out the money, and the younger brother couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw more than a dozen of them. The classmate asked: "Are you jealous?"
The junior brother shouted loudly: "I'm jealous! Put it away quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
The classmate laughed.
Ye Fan waited until they had finished making trouble and said, "This is not a year-end bonus. Please discuss with the person in charge of the school and tell me your vacation time in advance. The year-end bonus and January and February wages will be paid the day before the vacation.
The junior brother asked: "February happens to be a holiday and will I be paid?"
Ye Fan: "Paid vacation. By the way, I said before that the monthly salary is 100 in the first year and 200 in the second year. I'm not kidding you. Starting from this month, you will get 200 per month. You don't have to pay 50-50 to the school in the next two years. Let's The company’s reputation will improve and your dividends will be at least double what they are now.”
Several of Ye Fan's classmates looked at the money in their hands and gasped as they imagined that the dividends alone would be five thousand a year. As far as they know, the senior brother with the highest salary does not have an annual salary of 5,000. Unless you go abroad to earn foreign currency.
However, if you earn and spend foreign currency abroad, you may not have as much left over at the end of the year as you do at home.
At this moment, several students couldn't help but wonder whether students who went abroad would regret knowing this. Maybe not, Ye Fan said, if you have money abroad, you can do whatever you want. Students abroad who have money must think that there is more freedom abroad than at home.
Hong Kong City is also quite free, but Ye Fan's background is called "Northern Girl" in Hong Kong City, and he will only be looked down upon even more abroad.
A few classmates imagined that everyone would envy them at home, and they would be tolerated even if they got angry. But when they went abroad, they couldn't bear to be careful about everything. They couldn't help but secretly tease themselves that they didn't have a happy life.
Ye Fan didn't expect that several of her classmates would think of so many things in an instant. She reminded everyone to close the doors and windows and pay attention to fire and theft, and then went home.
It was almost dark when we got home, but Erbao was not at home, nor in the alley outside.
Ye Fan asked his mother-in-law: "Where did the second treasure go?"
Yu Wentao looked unnatural: "Maybe, at a classmate's house."
"Where are you?" A little girl of thirteen or fourteen is prone to falling in love prematurely, and Ye Fan is worried that she will suddenly realize her feelings.
When Ye Fan was serious, Yu Wentao became afraid and said honestly: "I went to Dabao School with Xiaoqin."
"What are you going to school for?" Ye Fan wondered.
Yu Wentao was worried that Ye Fan would scold her, but she didn't say anything. She was the only one in the family and there was no one to help her. She could only confess: "I'm worried that Dabao won't be used to it at school, so I asked Erbao to give him a roast duck leg."
Ye Fan: "..."
Yu Wentao hurriedly said: "Just this time!"
Ye Fan had a headache: "Only give it to him? He is the same freshman as Sensen. What will he think if this news comes to his ears?"
"Sensen is bigger than Dabao."
Ye Fan opened his mouth, wanting to scold her: "No matter how old he is, he is still your grandson. If you can't make a bowl of water even, then don't do anything!"
"Then, what about the last time?" Yu Wentao said.
Ye Fan checked the calendar: "Today is Thursday? In the next few days, they will be back on Sunday. You go to the market to buy a chicken in the morning, and I will ask my uncle to buy a few kilograms of meat. Stew chicken at noon, and make dumplings in the afternoon. They eat at home. I just cook dumplings, and when I get back to school early, I steam dumplings and take them to school as a supper." I took fifty yuan from the bag that I hadn't put down yet.
Yu Wentao: "It can't be that much."
"Take it. Chicken, fish, meat and eggs are more expensive now than they were a few years ago. With so many people in the family, twenty per month must be barely enough." Ye Fan put it in his hand, "Remind Erbao not to tell anyone about this."
Yu Wentao nodded: "What about cooking now?"
"How long will it take for Erbao to go?"
Yu Wentao: "It's time to come out of school."
Ye Fan: "I'll steam the rice. You prepare two vegetables and I'll fry them. By the way, you won't just buy a duck leg, right?"
"No way." Yu Wentao went to the kitchen and took out the roast duck from the cupboard.
Ye Fan asked her to tear it open first and heat it in a pot before eating.
Yu Wentao thought it was troublesome to cook, so he took out a cabbage and asked Ye Fan to stew the cabbage leaves and sweet potato vermicelli with lard residue, and the cabbage gang made vinegar cabbage.
Ye Fanxin said, you are really good at arranging things.
When Er Bao returned home, Ye Fan warned her not to mess around with her grandma in the future. Erbao nodded obediently, but Ye Fan didn't know if she heard it, and warned Geng Zhiqin not to visit Dabao at school.
On the morning of January 12th in the Gregorian calendar, Yu Wentao went to the vegetable market, and Ye Fan met his uncle at the entrance of the alley.
It was cold in winter, so Ye Fan asked Uncle Yu to drink some hot soup before going to sell vegetables.
Uncle Yu used to be reluctant to eat out, but now his son-in-law and daughter are in the city, one son is at home to take care of him, and the other son is working in the town. Yu Hongwei also has the opportunity to return to the capital to teach. There is no need for the old man to work hard to make money, so he will listen to Ye Fan. After drinking tofu nao and spicy soup, I ate a fried dough stick and a steamed bun before continuing to sell vegetables.
When Han Dawei learned that Uncle Yu was a relative of Ye Fan, he asked him to buy two kilograms of pork. After closing the stall, he planned to go to his parents' house to eat with his brothers, sisters, and children.
Han Dawei left home, and Chu Guangming ran to his house. When he saw that the door of his house was closed, he hurriedly looked for Zhang Xiaoming.
Zhang Xiaoming's family of three are not at home either. Chu Guangming was helpless, and the face of the seemingly high-spirited young man was full of despair. His neighbor couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him: "Call your dad."
Chu Guangming hurriedly ran to the public phone booth, and almost bumped into Erbao who was playing at the other end of the alley halfway. Erbao stopped him: "Chu Guangming, you didn't go to my store?"
Chu Guangming stopped and saw that she seemed to have a backbone: "Is your mother at home?"
Erbao nodded subconsciously. Chu Guangming ran towards Ye Fan's house. Ye Fan stared at his son washing clothes and was as surprised as Erbao when he saw him come in: "You didn't go to the store?"
Chu Guangming burst into tears before he could say anything.
Ye Fan hurriedly asked: "What happened?"
"I-I, my grandpa is gone!" Chu Guangming had not cried loudly since he was abandoned by his parents, but now he couldn't help crying.
Ye Fan ignored Dabao: "Don't cry first, let's talk about what's going on."
"I, my grandpa has not been feeling well these days. Last weekend I told Aunt Yu that I would stay with grandpa this weekend." The "Aunt Yu" in Chu Guangming's mouth was Yu Wentao's niece. "Grandpa was fine last night. Today I thought he was not feeling well when I saw him not getting up. I didn’t pay attention to him when I called him to eat but he didn’t say anything. I finished washing the clothes after dinner, and when I remembered that he didn’t get up, I checked to see what was going on with him, but he, he—”
Ye Fan said for him: "Is your grandpa's body hard?"
Chu Guangming nodded vigorously: "Aunt Ye, I, I—"
Ye Fan interrupted: "Don't panic. You are a grandson. You, a child, should not have to bear all this. Do you know the phone number of your father's house and the public phone number near your aunt's house?"
Chu Guangming nodded subconsciously.
Ye Fan dragged him to Aunt Li's house.
Aunt Li heard clearly through the wall. As soon as she saw the two people approaching, she asked: "What's the number?"
After two phone calls, Ye Fan gave money to Aunt Li, but Aunt Li said that Ye Fan had insulted her. Ye Fan took the money back and asked Chu Guangming where his grandfather was.
Chu Guangming replied at home.
Aunt Li: "Dabao Mom, you are young and have no experience. I will accompany this child there."
Yu Wentao was not a warm-hearted person, but when she saw that Chu Guangming was the same age as Dabao but had to bear all this, she couldn't bear it. When she heard Aunt Li's words, she came out of the courtyard, "Ye Fan, Aunt Li and I are going over there. "Then he advised Chu Guangming not to cry yet.
With two elders accompanying him, Chu Guangming gradually stopped crying.
Geng Zhihui and Chu Fenghe went to the alley and saw the three of them walking towards the other end. Geng Zhihua asked: "Why are Dabao and Aunt Yu going?"
Dabao happened to come out of the courtyard.
Geng Zhihui was stunned for a moment: "That--it's not you?"
Dabao: "Second uncle, please wear a pair of glasses. I am half a head taller than him. Also, what do I wear and what does he wear?"
Chu Guangming's clothes didn't fit him well, including Dabao snow boots, casual pants and a down jacket. It was obvious that he was from two different worlds.
Geng Zhihui was choked and simply ignored him and asked Ye Fan: "What happened?"
Ye Fan: "It's a long story. Let's go inside first."
Geng Zhihui was worried that Ye Fan would report good news but not bad news when something happened at home, so he went indoors and poured himself a glass of water to warm his hands, then sat down and waited for Ye Fan to explain.
Ye Fan started with Chu Guangming's parents, saying that they divorced in 1978. Chu Guangming was under nine years old at the time and had a child who was left to his grandfather. It's hard to believe that Chu Guangming didn't go astray after this incident.
Finally, she mentioned that Chu Guangming came to her to buy goods a few days ago, but she did not dare to use child labor, so Zhang Xiaoming came forward to help him. He continued to mention that Chu Guangming went to the store to help out every weekend recently.
Geng Zhihua asked: "Why didn't he go to Zhang Xiaoming or your classmate Han Dawei?"
Ye Fan: "There are many people on the street today this weekend, Zhang Xiaoming should help in the store. Han Dawei may be reunited with his children at his parents' house."
Chu Fenghe frowned and asked, "Why do I feel familiar about Chu Guangming's parents?"
Geng Huihui wanted to say something, but suddenly thought of her mother's surname "Chu", and couldn't help but exclaimed: "No wonder I always feel that the name "Chu Guangming" is awkward. Fortunately, I am worried that he is different from what he looks like. Co-authored because he has the same surname as my grandma's family .”
Dabao: "Second mother, isn't Chu Guangming a relative of yours?"
Chu Fenghe shook his head: "No! If they were my relatives, I wouldn't have heard of them."
"It's hard to say!" Geng Zhihui had always been at odds with his father-in-law and his family in the past, because he was worried that he would not be able to face his father-in-law if there was a quarrel. Now that his son has severed the relationship between the two families, Geng Zhihui does not want to be a grandson in front of his father-in-law and is too lazy to open his eyes and talk nonsense, "What Chu Guangming's father did is despicable, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law disdain to say that his family's affairs are normal. Maybe he wishes he didn't." This relative.”
Chu Fenghe asked Ye Fan what the name of Chu Guangming's grandfather was.
Ye Fan shook his head: "I don't know!"
Dabao: "I'll ask."
Ye Fan reminded: "You are not allowed to go in."
"I'm not afraid of ghosts and gods." Dabao put on his hat and scarf, "Brother Sensen, wash your clothes and fish them out for me."
Geng Sensen waved his hand to reassure him.
When Dabao arrived at the door of the courtyard, he saw his little sister looking in with her head raised. Dabao pulled her aside: "What are you looking at?"
"Look why grandma doesn't come out yet."
Dabao: "Grandma didn't come out so quickly for such a big thing like a person's death. You go home!" Then he said to the children in his alley, "Go back! Watch all the excitement! Can you watch it?"
Several teenage boys and girls were worried that Dabao would go back to complain and immediately ran back together.
Dabao asked Chu's neighbor Chu Guangming's grandfather's name and who his relatives were. He said that he was Chu Guangming's classmate. He had a phone at home and could help Chu Guangming notify his relatives.
The neighbors did not doubt that he was there, so they said that the Chu family had several powerful relatives, but they went to other places during the Cultural Revolution, and they did not know if they came back. The neighbor said that she would not trouble the little classmate. She would ask Chu Guangming if he knew about it later. If he knew, she would help inform him.
Dabao waited at the door for a while and went back to report if grandma didn't come out.
Chu Fenghe was not impressed when Dabao said Chu Guangming's grandfather's name: "Dabao, does his grandfather have a nickname?"
If someone comes to the alley and asks "Geng Yanyan" where his home is, the children in the alley will definitely say they don't know. When asked about "Geng Dabao", both adults and children can give the correct answer.
Dabao thought about this and regretted not asking more questions, "I forgot to ask. But he is a railway worker. Your family doesn't have-" Seeing his second mother, he was stunned, "Are they really your relatives?"
Many years ago, Chu Fenghe sent his parents north to work and met Chu Guangming's grandfather at the train station: "My father and Chu Guangming's father's generation have not yet had five servers. My father and Chu Guangming's grandfather seem to have the same great-grandfather."
Dabao: "Are your great-grandfather and Grandpa Chu Guangming's grandfather brothers?"
Chu Fenghe nodded and asked Ye Fan when he thought of something: "Should I go and have a look?"
Ye Fan said: "It stands to reason that we should go. An old man in Yujia Village passed away a few days ago, and Aunt Yu gave her uncle a few yuan to buy firecrackers and paper money to send to him. When my father-in-law passed away, except for the two uncles' homes, there was no one in the Yu family. Relatives who came out of Wufu sent someone to burn paper.”
Chu Fenghe stood up, thought of something and sat down again.
Dabao was surprised. He leaned on his mother and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with my second mother?"
Ye Fan ignored his son: "Aunt Li has a phone at her house. It costs two cents a minute. You can give her one yuan to call and ask. I just made two calls for Chu Guangming without asking for money."
Chu Fenghe took two yuan and went to Aunt Li's house to call her parents. Chu Fenghe just informed them without asking if they were going. When they came out of Aunt Li's house, they called Geng Zhihui, and then the couple went to Chu Guangming's house. Geng Huihui asked very confusedly: "Chu is not a common surname. The Chu family and my mother are both in the west of the imperial city. Why didn't I think about this before?"
Ye Fan: "I thought it was a coincidence that Chu Guangming's surname was Chu, but I didn't expect that the two families were really related."
Dabao asked: "Mom, my only relative is dead. What will Chu Guangming do in the future?"
Ye Fan touched his son's head: "Now that the market is liberalized, there are no purchase restrictions on many things. He can survive if he has money."
Geng Huihui: "There are my aunt's classmates and Xiao Ming next to his house, so the neighbors dare not bully him."
Ye Fan nodded: "Most of them want to save face. If someone is known to bully orphans, it will be difficult for her children to find a partner." When talking about finding a partner, he couldn't help but look at Geng Zhiqin.
Geng Zhiqin stood up and walked out: "Let me see where Erbao went."
Ye Fan sneered and turned to Dabao: "Have you reminded your sister-in-law of a date recently?"
Dabao: "Didn't you notice? You don't need my reminder recently."
Ye Fan didn't pay attention: "Does that make sense?"
"My sister-in-law will have trouble if she doesn't act. Anyway, I have never heard my sister-in-law say that others don't respect her." A few days ago, Dabao thought that his sister-in-law was ignorant, because he felt that his mother's introduction was better than his aunt's own.
Although Sun Laifu is unemployed, the clinical department of Beijing University Hospital is very profitable. In a few years, Sun Laifu will definitely be allocated a two-bedroom apartment. Liu Ning may be in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. Besides, there is no comparison between the Liu family and the Sun family. A relative of the Sun family is Chang Guangrong, and the second sister Liu is married to a second-married male worker.
Geng Huihui: "My sister-in-law said that Sun Laifu was lukewarm to her."
Dabao became more and more dissatisfied that his aunt was ignorant and snorted: "The hospital is so busy. The school is so leisurely. If Sun Laifu wants to date her as often as Liu Ning, I don't worry about her marrying Sun Laifu."
Ye Fan patted his son's little head: "You've grown up."
"I knew before that my sister-in-law should not look for Liu Ning."
Ye Fan: "You said Liu Ning was good before."
"That's because I don't understand his family. My sister-in-law should be careful when looking for a partner, but she doesn't understand either." Dabao pushed away his mother's hand and saw Erbao entering the hospital, "Mom, you old girl is crazy."
< br>
Ye Fan laughed and said: "Don't talk nonsense." He waved to Erbao: "Is it hot?"
Erbao took off his red down jacket and said, "Mom, it's not convenient to jump rope."
Ye Fan: "Don't take off your hat, it's windy outside."
"Okay." Erbao took off his scarf and threw it into his mother's arms. He went to the yard and saw the badminton on the windowsill. He took the ball and racket and went out to call his friends to play.
Geng Sensen asked: "Dabao, we are fine at home, why don't we go to your school to play basketball?"
Dabao took his mother's hand and looked at the watch. It was a little after ten o'clock and there were still more than two hours before lunch: "You don't need to get a basketball, my school has one."
Ye Fan: "Cross the road and look at the cars."
"Don't worry." Dabao went to the bedroom to put on his sneakers and gave his unworn sneakers to his cousin. Geng Sensen was embarrassed to wear Dabao's brand-name sneakers. Dabao whispered: "Go back and ask Boss Ye to buy it. If she has money, we will rob the rich and give to the poor."
Geng Sensen was speechless and wanted to laugh: "Auntie's money is not your family's money?"
Geng Dabao: "I haven't seen her give me a few more yuan. She treats her employees better than me."
Geng Sensen really wanted to say that a pair of your shoes is equivalent to one month's salary. But considering that Dabao was sitting next to his aunt in the main room just now, and he was still as clingy to his aunt as before, and there was no problem in the relationship between mother and son, this must be just a casual complaint and cannot be taken seriously.
Geng Sensen thanked him, and Dabao gave him a baseball cap: "It's cool to wear this."
When two cool college students arrived at school, they attracted the attention of their female classmates.
Dabao called his roommate downstairs and gathered everyone to the basketball court. Several female classmates were already wandering near the basketball court. Dabao and his party started playing basketball, but the female classmate stopped.
For more than twenty minutes, the basketball court was surrounded by female students from all grades and departments.
Although there are usually female students watching when male students play, this is the first time for so many people to play, which is comparable to a regular competition between colleges and universities.
After about ten minutes, Dabao couldn't stand it anymore. It wasn't that he couldn't stand his classmates and classmates, but that he couldn't stand his cousin. He was like a peacock king.
During the break, Dabao was sweating and asked his classmates if that was the end. Before the classmates could answer, the alumni on the sidelines asked for Dabao's help.
Then no one asked Dabao for his opinion, and each of them was beaten for half an hour like a chicken blood injection. The loser's body couldn't bear it, and he was worried about embarrassing himself in front of his female classmates, so he retreated.
When Dabao saw his cousin's face full of excitement, he was too embarrassed to pour cold water on him, so he scolded him and told him to go home.
When he got home, his grandma was back, and his second mother and second uncle were still in the courtyard.
Dabao asked: "Grandma, is Chu Guangming's grandfather the second mother's cousin who didn't get out of the fifth service?"
Yu Wentao nodded: "Your second mother recognized him as soon as he passed by."
Dabao: “Have her parents gone?”
Yu Wentao: "I didn't see the old couple. Maybe they can go."
Dabao sighed like an adult: "This is just a role model for others. Don't they know that elders are the best teachers for younger generations?"
When Yu Wentao heard this and felt that Dabao was praising her, she couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You know what the heck! If you ask me, they are the most ruthless and unrighteous scholars. In the past, Chen Shimei and Du Shiniang's men were all scholars!"
Ye Fan looked at his watch: "Let's cook."
Geng Zhiqin: "Shall we do it after the second brother and second sister-in-law come back?"
Yu Wentao said: "I don't know when. Let's wait and do it. Chu Guangming's father and aunt haven't arrived yet. The Chu family only has two relatives, your second brother and second sister-in-law. If they don't get over, your second brother will have to change the old man's shroud." ”
Dabao couldn't help but exclaimed: "Isn't that too much? It was their biological fathers who died!"
Yu Wentao also felt that it was too much.
There are also unfilial children and grandchildren in the village, but no one dares to let the elders die without a burial place. Even if the family is poor and cannot afford a coffin or an urn for cremation, they will still dig a hole and bury the old man in the ancestral grave.
Yu Wentao asked: "Ye Fan, what has Chen Xiaohui been busy with recently?"
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, wondering why she thought of Chen Xiaohui: "Are you looking for her?"
Geng Zhiqin: "I met her some time ago, and she said she was going on a business trip somewhere with her professor. It seemed that the tomb had been robbed, and many experts and scholars were needed, so her mentor took her with him."
Dabao: "Aunt Xiaohui is not an archeology major?"
Ye Fan said: "She has been taking archeology courses during college, and many courses in the archeology and history department are heavy, so she switched to archeology as a graduate student."
Chen Xiaohui often talks about antiques at home. Dabao subconsciously thinks that she wants to pick up the missing items. Unexpectedly, she changed her major: "She is so persistent."
That's because Ye Fan said more than once that if you don't understand the guild, you will be cheated. Chen Xiaohui wanted to pick up the slack but didn't dare to rely solely on luck, so she had to study this industry seriously.
Ye Fan: "Aunt Yu, why are you looking for Xiaohui?"
Geng Zhiqin understood her mother: "Let Xiaohui tell the school teachers and students that a relative of the Chu family who had not yet been born died of illness, and the old couple of the Chu family did not go over to burn a piece of paper."
Dabao was confused: "Grandma wants them to show up? Wouldn't it cause trouble for Chu Guangming?"
Ye Fan: "Dabao, people who are too arrogant are not all bad. In the eyes of the neighbors, university professors are very powerful. After they came to the Chu family, no one dared to bully Chu Guangming. Someone asked Huihui's grandparents if they had any For this relative, they don’t dare to say no, and they have to show their support to Chu Guangming from time to time. Logically speaking, Chu Guangming is his father’s responsibility. I can’t count on him.”
Yu Wentao didn't think so much. Yu Wentao and the old couple of the Chu family had never dealt with each other, so she wanted to take the opportunity to ask Chen Xiaohui to cause trouble for the old couple of the Chu family.
But Ye Fan said she was so warm-hearted, and Yu Wentao was too embarrassed to say, "I'm not that kind." "Huihui, go ask your mother later if she wants to cook Chu Guangming's food. I didn't know there was such a thing before. Relationship, you can pretend that you don't know how pitiful that child is. Now that you know it and don't care, what's the difference between us and your grandpa's family?"
Ye Fan reminded: "First ask if Chu Guangming's father and aunt are here. Remind your mother not to talk about my family."
"I'm going now. If it's too late, my mother will leak it and be discovered by the thieves. He will definitely take the opportunity to get close to our family." Geng Huihui left after saying that.
After running to the courtyard, Geng Huihui first asked if any relatives of the Chu family were here. The neighbor said something. Huihui understood that it was her parents. Huihui did not dare to approach the dead person, so she leaned against the door and shouted: "Mom!"
Geng Zhihua stood up and blocked the old man's head. Geng Huihui went in and whispered to his father: "Don't say your surname is Geng." Then she said to Chu Guangming: "Don't mention my aunt and uncle when you look back."
Chu Guangming asked uneasily: "What will grandpa do if my dad doesn't come?"
Chu Fenghe: "I'm going to find him. First take out your grandfather's clothes and wait for your father to come over and put them on for him."
More than half an hour later, it was almost one o'clock. Chu's father was late and his wife did not show up. Chu Fenghe almost fainted from anger. What she wanted to say was stopped in advance by Geng Zhihui, and then Chu Fenghe watched Chu's father take his son and sister-in-law to take the old man to the crematorium, and bury him that afternoon.
When Zhang Xiaoming came home in the evening and heard about this, he was shocked. When he came back to his senses, he sighed to Dong Ying: "Xiaojun is not too much, right?"
Dong Ying opened her mouth, but couldn't hold back a word for a long time: "Go to the Chu family to see if you can help. Don't say you are the son-in-law of the Dong family!"
Zhang Xiaoming met Han Dawei at the gate of the courtyard and saw that he was holding back: "Why don't you go in?"
Han Dawei whispered: "Guangming's father and aunt are inside."
Zhang Xiaoming dragged him to the courtyard. Chu Guangming's father said: "This is two hundred yuan, which will last until you reach adulthood——"
"Are you sending the beggar away?" Aunt Chu's shrill voice came out: "I am a half-grown man living in poverty. He only needs two hundred yuan a year for food! What should he do to dress for school?"
Father Chu: "Go find his mother. He is not my son!"
Aunt Chu was concerned about Chu Guangming's impure intentions, so she couldn't help but stand up for her nephew at this moment, slapped her eldest brother on the face, and then gave him a slap in the face.
Han Dawei wanted to go in, but Zhang Xiaoming held him back and leaned against the window to listen to see if Chu Guangming and his aunt had suffered any loss.
Hearing that Chu Guangming's uncle was inside, Zhang Xiaoming whispered: "It's okay."
Neighbors did not dare to come over and say a few words for Chu Guangming, for fear of being resented by Chu's father, who had bad conduct.
More than ten minutes later, Father Chu ran out in a very embarrassed state. A few minutes later, Aunt Chu and her husband rode away. Zhang Xiaoming went in, and Chu Guangming was sitting on his father's bed, so lifeless that the two of them were afraid that if they hadn't come over, the child would have committed suicide in the middle of the night.
Zhang Xiaoming winked at Han Dawei, who picked up two pieces of money on the bed, one fifty and one two hundred. The "fifty" should have been given by Aunt Chu.
Han Dawei put it in his pocket, and Zhang Xiaoming picked up Chu Guangming. The three of them went to Zhang Xiaoming's house. Han Dawei gave the money to Zhang Xiaoming. Zhang Xiaoming took out the envelope from the cabinet and put it with the money Chu Guangming had earned before and handed it to him: "Guangming, look, this much money is enough for you to finish high school and college. Without tuition, your hard life will be over after you graduate from high school.”
Chu Guangming burst into tears as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zhang Xiaoming went over and hugged him: "I am as old as you and have survived in a country where I am unfamiliar with the place. You can do the same."
Han Dawei: "You still have us."
Chu Guangming thought that before Geng Huihui's parents left, he had told him to find Huihui if anything happened in the future. Huihui was his cousin, not an outsider, and he felt much less uneasy in his heart: "If I don't sleep at night and die, will grandpa - ”
Dong Ying interrupted: "No. Don't blame yourself. When an old man is sick, doctors don't dare to take medicine when he goes to the hospital. It's useless if you find him uncomfortable in the middle of the night."
Zhang Xiaoming nodded: "Stay at my house tonight, go home and pack up tomorrow morning, go to your uncle Dawei's stall to have something to eat and then go to school. Your grandpa must hope that you will be successful in college." After saying that, he gave Dong Ying a wink. Ying went to the wing to help Chu Guangming make the bed.
When Han Dawei heard this, he remembered that he had to go to bed early. Seeing that Chu Guangming gradually stopped crying, he said goodbye and went home.
The next morning, Ye Fan was buying fried dough sticks and tea eggs and happened to meet Chu Guangming eating. Ye Fan came up to him and said, "If someone bullies you at school, just tell Erbao."
Chu Guangming wanted to cry, so he held back his tears and said in a muffled voice: "I know."
Everyone thought that nothing happened to the old man after he was buried. Unexpectedly, someone found the Chu family four days later. Chu Guangming was at school, and the neighbor asked the person to find Han Dawei. Han Dawei didn't know how to bring people to Ye Fan's house.
Dabao was at home during the vacation from college and was about to go to his mother's company to learn computer skills. When he met the two of them at the door, Dabao asked Han Dawei what they wanted to do with his mother.
The visitor was Aunt Chu's mother-in-law. Because Aunt Chu beat Chu's father, she and her husband were imprisoned by Chu Guangming's stepmother.
Dabao could understand every word, but together Dabao was confused: "What does it mean?"
Han Dawei: "Guangming's stepmother felt sorry for her husband's beating and took advantage of her privileges to arrest him. We were there that night and no serious injuries were caused. When we reported to the police station, we gave him a few words of verbal education. Because there were reasons for the incident, under normal circumstances the police would criticize Guangming's father. Advise him to calm down.”
The old lady was flustered: "Do you know which class Guangming is in? Tell Guangming to beg his father? Just say that his aunt is wrong."
"It's useless." Dabao shook his head, "Chu Guangming's father wishes he didn't have this son. Seeing Chu Guangming will only make him angrier."
The old lady choked and said, "What should I do? My son and his wife also feel sorry for Guangming."
Dabao thinks about what his mother would do.
After a while, Dabao had an idea. He looked to the left and right, and there were only three of them. Dabao was also worried that the wall had ears, so he whispered: "I will give you an idea, do you dare to swear?"
"What oath?"
Dabao: "Does the fourth person besides the three of us know that your grandson will die a good death?"
The old lady is superstitious and dare not swear on her grandson. But when she thought about her son's suffering inside, she immediately raised her hands and swore, and then she focused on Han Dawei.
Han Dawei swore on his children under the cannibalistic gaze of the old lady, and then glared at Dabao, "I will tell your mother when I turn around!"
Dabao pretended not to see it and whispered: "Go to Chu Guangming's mother and ask her what to do. No matter what she says, when you come out of her house, find someone to write a few big characters and go to the door of Chu Guangming's stepmother's father's unit and say something about his stepmother." His father used his privilege to force someone to death. Others would think it was his biological mother’s idea, and his revenge was also revenge on his biological mother.”
Han Dawei hurriedly said: "No! This matter will be revealed as soon as we investigate."
"So what if we find out? Who can Chu Guangming's mother blame for their own paranoia and misunderstanding?"
Old lady: "That's what I said, but she is so powerful——"
"Something might happen to your son after he goes in." Dabao was not trying to scare her, "It's strange that such a narrow-minded woman would only lock up your son to relieve her anger. If it's too late, he might be beaten by someone bribed by his stepmother. No problem. If something happens to your family in the future, everyone will think it is Chu Guangming's stepmother who is responsible for it. Don't bully your family. She is most afraid of something happening to your family."
Old lady: "Who dares to say that her family is powerful and harmful to others?"
Dabao: "It is impossible for a person in a high position to have no enemies. You hand over the knife and someone will clean up his house for you. For example, my father only knows how to train soldiers and has never bullied others. My mother has helped a lot of people, and some people have looked at my family. It’s pleasing to the eye. If you’re still worried, just ask Chu Guangming’s biological mother if she can do this.”
The old lady looked at his young face and felt that "his mouth was hairless and his work was weak", "Isn't your mother at home?"
"My mother is out." Dabao said, "Didn't Uncle Han see it?"
Han Dawei thought about it carefully, and when he was closing the stall, he seemed to see a lesbian wearing a black coat and leather shoes, while Ye Fan was the only one around him who wore the same clothes as a movie star every day: "It seems to be going north."
It’s so big in the north, where can I find it? The old lady was so frightened by Dabao's words that she did not dare to delay, and immediately said: "I will go find his biological mother!"
