Chapter 037 Save



Chapter 037 It had been

a month since Cunzu had been in Jinling. This was the first time Lin Siwei heard someone express apology for the tragic fate of their mother and daughter.

It comes from my own grandmother in a bloodline sense.

Grandma tried to resolve Su Hongmei's tragic fate, which surprised Lin Siwei. After all, Lin Zhengqing himself, who caused this tragedy, is unapologetic.

But when I think about it again, it makes sense.

If Hu Qiaoyue couldn't accept Su Hongmei and Lin Siwei, how could she accept Lin Siwei as a member of her household registration in one day.

Lin Siwei gently folded the letter, stuffed it back into the envelope, and handed it to Hu Qiaoyue solemnly: "Grandma, it is Lin Zhengqing who owes us. Not you. Besides, you have helped me settle the household registration and gave me an upright identity. I can strive for everything in the future with my own efforts. When I come back, I really want to see you."

Hu Qiaoyue seemed a little moved by her sincerity and looked at her deeply, as if she wanted to see through her.

This look is insightful and impossible to hide.

Lin Siwei stood up: "Let me peel an apple for you to eat. Where is the fruit knife?"

"In the kitchen drawer." Hu Qiaoyue pointed to the north.

It turns out that the one to the north is not a room, but a kitchen. No. 281 Yangchuan Road, in fact, the total area is a corridor, a south-facing room, and a north-facing kitchen.

The kitchen is very small, with a briquette stove and a square table placed against the wall. Most of the square table is occupied by a bamboo cupboard and two hot water bottles, leaving only a small countertop.

The square table has a drawer, and the fruit knife is in the drawer.

There was no running water in the kitchen. There was a red bucket under the square table. Lin Siwei scooped some water and washed the apples.

Just as he was about to go back to the room, Lin Siwei felt something in his heart and gently opened the cupboard. Inside are several bowls of different sizes and an enamel basin. There was a small half bowl of rice on the bottom floor. The color looked stale and the rice was a little hard. The jar of pickles was dripping with water, and Lin Siwei couldn't tell how good it was.

Obviously, Hu Qiaoyue lived a very miserable life.

"Siwei, have you found it? It's in the desk drawer." Hu Qiaoyue couldn't wait for a long time and started calling her.

"I found it, I found it." Lin Siwei hurriedly closed the cupboard, but did not dare to move too fast. The bamboo cupboard made a lot of noise, and it would not be good for grandma to know that he was spying on her life.

Lin Siwei returned to the wooden bench and sat down, and began to peel the apple.

It's a pity that Mr. Lin is very capable, but he is not very good at delicate housework. Hu Qiaoyue frowned as soon as she saw the knife strike.

"After you've finished peeling, there's only half an apple left."

Hu Qiaoyue took it without any explanation and started peeling by herself. Needless to say, the old man's attacks are different. Hu Qiaoyue's hands are very skillful at first glance, and he cuts it all the way to the end. Not to mention that the skin is as thin as a cicada's wings, and the entire apple skin covers the apple in circles, with almost no movement.

Lin Siwei exclaimed: "Grandma, how many apples have you eaten?"

"I'm flattering you wrongly." Hu Qiaoyue rolled her eyes at her, "I can only say that I'm good at peeling them, but I don't necessarily eat them myself."

Uh... Lin Siwei Stick out your tongue.

Although flattery is wrong, some clues can be seen. No matter whether you can eat it or not, those who always have apples at home are always in good conditions.

Hu Qiaoyue picked up a strip of apple skin and gently placed it in a basin on the table. She then divided the apple into two and handed one half to Lin Siwei.

"I won't eat, grandma, you eat."

"I can't eat so much, half is enough." Hu Qiaoyue said calmly.

Lin Siwei took the apple and felt that even though her grandma was cold, she was still kind, unlike her scumbag father.

...

Originally, Lin Siwei just wanted to see what his grandma looked like on a whim, but he didn't expect to get close to Hu Qiaoyue like this.

Hu Qiaoyue and Zhang Xiuqin are different.

Zhang Xiuqin is warm and hospitable, has a strong sense of justice, and has the demeanor of an old revolutionary cadre. Hu Qiaoyue is cold but reasonable, restrained but fair.

Lin Siwei also recognized this grandma because of the friendship of giving her half an apple.

She filled the bucket for grandma and didn't do much else. Since grandma has a cold personality, she can't be too abrupt. After all, today is the first time we meet.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Lin Siwei left and said he was going back to school.

Hu Qiaoyue did not keep her.

In fact, even with the half bowl of overnight rice in the cupboard, I didn’t have much confidence to keep it.

However, Hu Qiaoyue insisted on sending Lin Siwei downstairs. Lin Siwei finally knew why Hu Qiaoyue was sitting at the window. It was because she had trouble walking. She couldn't stand on flat ground for long, and it was even more difficult to go up and down stairs.

On this flight of stairs, Hu Qiaoyue held on to the wall and moved down step by step for five or six minutes.

So it would take several days for her to fetch water. Sometimes she needed to buy something, and she would even shout directly from the window, and then hang a basket from the window.

When you go down, the basket is filled with money, and when you come up, the basket is filled with vegetables or daily necessities.

In short, try not to go downstairs if you can.

But today she still insisted on sending her granddaughter to the door.

"Siwei, grandma wants to tell you two things." She stood at the door solemnly.

"The first thing is, if you have no place to go during the school holidays, you can come and live with me. Your dad has already told me."

"Thank you, grandma."

"The second thing is, I know you have no money, but why are you dressed so well? Is that good?"

As expected, he has a sharp vision and deep thoughts. Grandma is a cruel person, so she held it in until now and asked, which was really unexpected.

Lin Siwei smiled and said, "It was a gift from a neighbor in Fish Bone Lane."

She didn't explain any more. For an old man like Hu Qiaoyue, she could guess it without explaining. If she explained too much, she would look guilty.

Hu Qiaoyue nodded as expected: "It seems that your dad is done in Fish Bone Alley, and the neighbors dare to slap him in the face."

Wow, grandma, you can participate in the complaints conference in the future.

However, considering that Lin Zhengqing was still her biological son, she still had to take care of her face. Lin Siwei consoled him: "It's growing in Fish Bone Alley, how could it end so easily? They sent it to school, but my dad didn't know about it."

Hu Qiaoyue's brows were raised, and her tightly combed hair moved with her scalp.

"That's because you are making a difference, and your neighbors take you too seriously."

But it's not surprising, this kid looks like he has more potential than Jia Huan Jia Le. Hu Qiaoyue curled her lips, took out five dollars from her trouser pocket and gave it to Lin Siwei: "Take it. Liu Yuxiu has your dad locked up so tightly that he won't have any living expenses for you."

"No, no, grandma, we have a life in the technical school. Subsidy." Lin Siwei quickly declined.

"Then let's treat it as the fruit money I paid you back. You have no job and no income. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if I eat your food."

"Then don't ask for so much." Lin Siwei couldn't laugh or cry, knowing that he couldn't have any fun with his grandma. Eye-catching, touching drama, grandma doesn't like this.

"I don't have any change." Hu Qiaoyue said stiffly.

Lin Siwei had no choice but to accept it, and then said with a smile: "Okay, grandma, I'll take the money. From now on, I'll work for you as a laborer on Sundays, and this will be considered as wages."

"That's good. It's settled."

Lin Siwei handed over five yuan . Putting the money into the yellow satchel, I felt that although my grandma had a tough face, she was actually easy to coax.

As long as she and her brother settle accounts openly, talk about things when they matter, and don't play tricks, they can get along with each other in harmony. As for the five dollars...

Lin Siwei thought for a while, I will be nice to anyone who is nice to me. I’ll keep grandma’s money for now.
