Chapter 288: No Filial Son Beside a Long-term Sick Bed
"Have you signed a contract with them?" Gu Wanxing asked with a smile.
Sometimes she thought it was fun to tease Lao Gu.
In his previous life, the old man always had a crooked mouth, a clenched fist, and six or seven fingers on his left and right hands, sitting in a wheelchair and asking her for money. Now he is in good health, eats everything with relish, and looks very pleasing to the eye.
"We signed it. I showed the contract to Xiao Feng. They didn't fool us."
Gu Wanxing gave a thumbs up and said, "You guys are amazing. Fortunately, you didn't run into any evil people, otherwise we would have been in a lot of trouble."
After joking with Lao Gu for a while, she left.
In the evening, after everyone got off work, I held a meeting in the workshop and made clear regulations that all machines must be used in a standardized manner. I asked Secretary Feng to make a plaque and hang it on the wall of the workshop. Those who violated the rules would be fined and warned once, and would be directly fired for the second time.
It was already past seven in the evening when I got home.
This time she planned to fly to Guangzhou. Although the ticket would cost over 800 yuan, she only needed to go for one day and could return the next night or the following day, which would give her more time and save her money. (China Northern Airlines was founded in June 1990, but the current version was brought forward, making it a bit of a fabrication.)
She is not fit to take a long-distance bus now.
Gu Wanxing sat tiredly on the sofa, not wanting to move at all. He missed the modern takeout, spicy hot pot, maocai, and potato noodles.
These things are not for sale now.
As I was thinking, I fell asleep.
At the same time, Zhao Wangtun and Zhao family.
Zhao Chengyan went out to do odd jobs for a day, and when he returned home he saw his little daughter standing at the door crying.
This has been a common occurrence lately.
The grandma next door said that in Zhao Chao's case, she would stop crying when her milk was gone.
Yes, he howls every day, starting from the moment he wakes up, looking for his mother every day.
"Come, daddy, hold me."
Zhao Chengyan gently picked up the child and walked into the yard. The yard was dark and there were no lights on, so the little guy was not afraid outside.
"Woo woo, Daddy, I'm looking for Mommy. I want Mommy, I want Mommy."
"Your mother is busy with work and has no time to take care of you. What's wrong with you, kid? Huh? It's not good for you to stay with your father? You are the only one I have now. If you go to find your mother, what will happen to your father?"
Zhao Chengyan spoke softly as he took off his dirty shoes and walked into the house barefoot.
None of the lights in the house were on, and I could tell my sister didn't come today.
"Mom, how are you today? Have you eaten?"
Zhao Chengyan held his daughter in one hand, turned on the light, and saw Liu Xifeng lying motionless under the kang.
"Mother--"
Zhao Chengyan immediately put the child down and rushed into the house.
Liu Xifeng was moved to the kang.
He felt slightly relieved when he saw his mother glaring at him but still breathing.
When Zhao Chengyan saw the large puddle of urine on the kang, he was suddenly overwhelmed.
Every day after get off work, he has to serve the elderly and take care of the young. He feels like he doesn't even have time to die.
Liu Xifeng looked at her son with resentment in her eyes.
With a hoarse voice, he said fiercely: "Throw that little bastard out."
Zhao Chengyan pulled out the wet mattress and said with a tired look, "Just be quiet. You keep calling her a little beast all day long. She's grown up now, how can she be happy to hear it?"
Looking at her son like this and listening to what he said, Liu Xifeng was so angry that tears rolled down her eyes.
"She, she wanted me to die early. She also..."
Before Liu Xifeng finished speaking, Zhao Chao at the door started crying loudly.
"Wow wow - Grandma is bad, Grandma is bad, wow wow, I want my mom."
Zhao Chengyan threw the small mattress in his hand to the ground again, turned around and went out to coax the child.
He always believed that as long as the child was there, Gu Wanxing would come back sooner or later.
What's so good about being a soldier? He's away from home all year round. No matter how good the relationship is, it can't stand being separated.
So he planned to make a lot of money to clean up the house, and when his mother passed away, he would go and bring Gu Wanxing back.
It will come back eventually if he tries a few more times. Now it is only this belief that motivates him to persevere until now.
That night, the Zhao family was in chaos again.
Zhao Chao cried all night. Whenever Liu Xifeng opened her mouth, she would cry. Finally, she kept Liu Xifeng awake, but she was still crying for her mother.
When the cock crowed, the children's throats were too weak to cry.
But it still howled desperately, like a crow.
"Chao Chao, don't cry. Daddy will take you to find your mom today."
Zhao Chengyan really had no choice but to say this.
"Really?" Zhao Chao blinked his big red eyes, stared at him blankly, and asked.
Zhao Chengyan looked at the child in his arms and always felt that something was different.
"Your mother doesn't want you anymore, why are you going to find her?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Chao in his arms lowering his wet eyelashes.
She said in a hoarse voice: "Dad, little girls always follow their mothers. I will find the mother, and you can find another aunt to give birth to the baby."
Zhao Chengyan's pupils trembled when he heard this.
Just before falling into a coma, the child could not speak clearly and could not even utter six or seven coherent words.
Although her voice was hoarse today, every word she spoke was clear.
And she is only three years old, and you even understand this.
"Damn Zhao Chengfang, it was your aunt who told you that, right?"
At this moment, there was a raging rage in his eyes. How many times did Zhao Chengfang have to instill this in the child before she could remember it?
"Dad will never get married. He will bring your mother back home sooner or later. I will take you there today."
Zhao Chengyan's tone was more resolute than ever before.
When Zhao Chengfang arrived, she saw a table full of bowls, plates, and dishes, and then a large pile of them under the kang in her mother's room.
He was immediately furious: "How can you be so cruel? You can only cruel me. Our mother is not dead yet, but I want to die first. I am so annoyed. Brother - can't you clean up and wait for me?"
"And your precious daughter, take care of her yourself. I have no obligation to take care of your child."
That damn kid talks so irritatingly.
Zhao Chengfang didn't want to stay with Zhao Chao for even a moment longer.
Either she said her sister-in-law climbed into her man's kang, or she said her sister-in-law's child was her man's. What a good person!
Especially when the child's eyes were fixed on her, she felt a chill on her back, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
"I don't need you to take care of me. You just teach me useless things all day long. The child has learned bad things from you."
"Hey, you said it yourself, it's better not to look for me, get out of here, get out of here, I'm so annoyed by you all, none of you are a worry to me."
The Zhao family's recent days perfectly illustrate the saying that there is no filial son by the bedside of a long-term patient.
Liu Xifeng closed her eyes and didn't want to open them. Listening to the quarrel between the two children outside, she really wanted to just fall asleep and never wake up.
I didn’t want to die before, but now I can’t.
Zhao Chengyan didn't eat breakfast and took Zhao Chao out.
He just heard from his brother Gou Zi that he saw Gu Wanxing in the fourth or fifth district in the city.
He also drives a BMW all day long. If he takes Zhao Chao there to wait for her, he should be able to wait for her.
…
Gu Wanxing went to the airport in the morning to buy a plane ticket. The flight was at 2 pm, so he went to the store during the free time.
Business hasn't been very good recently.
The goods left over from the previous year are all on sale, including cotton jackets, down jackets, and coats, which are all being cleared out.
The goods worth 70,000 yuan have been almost sold out, and now what is hanging are last year's autumn clothes.
The second floor was completely empty.
"If you hadn't come, I would have called you too. The windbreaker the factory sent is selling well, and we've also sold almost all of our winter clothing inventory, which is less than 80,000 yuan. Last year's autumn clothing isn't selling at all. Because it was so popular last year, the market is now saturated and few people are buying."
Gu Wanxing nodded: "I understand. I will come to restock your stock the night after tomorrow at the earliest, and the morning after tomorrow at the latest."
After explaining a little more, she took away the payment for goods during the period after the Chinese New Year, and after deducting the salary, she still had 80,000 yuan in hand.
