Chapter 18 Covering the Quilt



The landlord's loud voice was like a thunder, rumbling through the night sky, and then there were more "thunders" - his furious curses continued.

Cheng Hao didn't dare to say anything and pretended not to hear.

He also wanted to repair the door, but this kind of iron door had deformed iron sheets, and it was impossible to completely repair it unless he replaced it... but he had no money.

Even if he had thirty-five dollars now, it probably wouldn't be enough to buy a rolling door.

Besides, this door is not unusable now, so we can only put it aside for now.

Cheng Hao lowered his voice and said to Lin Yuxun, "I bought some hamburgers. You guys go eat them."

Lin Yuxun's mouth curled up.

After Cheng Hao went to work, he felt uneasy.

He had nothing here, and he was afraid that Cheng Hao would leave and never come back.

He couldn't help but even think about the worst, like maybe Cheng Hao saw him working today and couldn't stand him, so he left.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always been disliked and abandoned.

His mother left them because his father had no money.

He was very uneasy, so after having dinner with Danny, he waited for Cheng Hao to come back.

When Cheng Hao was around, he would take advantage of the time after dinner to teach him Chinese and Danny English, and he would also take Danny out to play. This small house was always full of laughter, but when Cheng Hao was not around, it became particularly deserted.

He knew how to teach Danny English, but he had no idea how to play with Danny, after all, no one had ever played with him before.

Before Cheng Hao showed up, apart from providing Danny with good food and clothing, he had no idea what to do with Danny. Even now, he didn't know how to get close to Danny.

He kept staring at the rolling door. Fortunately, Cheng Hao came back just after nine o'clock.

Seeing Cheng Hao lower his voice so low and act sneaky because of the landlord's words, Lin Yuxun suddenly felt like laughing for some reason, and his mood became brighter.

At this time, Danny's attention was already on the plastic bag containing the hamburger.

Although he lost his hearing, his sense of smell is very sensitive, and today's burger is really delicious!

Cheng Hao took out two hamburgers and gave one to each of them.

On the way back, he kept holding the hamburger in his arms. Now the hamburger is still hot, just right to eat it while it's hot.

Danny got the burger and took a bite, his eyes narrowed with joy.

Lin Yuxun was not in a hurry to eat, he was even a little at a loss.

A burger like this costs about thirty cents. In the past, his father had only bought it for him on his birthday...

His mother would buy food for him on ordinary days, but she would always eat it herself first and give the extra food to Danny, so he couldn't have any.

Now that Cheng Hao gave him a hamburger, he was a little flattered.

Cheng Hao urged, "Eat quickly."

"You eat, I'm not hungry..." Lin Yuxun said.

"Eat it, there are still some left. I already ate six on the way back." Cheng Hao said.

Lin Yuxun looked at Cheng Hao in shock. Even if Cheng Hao found a job, buying ten hamburgers at a time seemed a little unbelievable to him... Was Cheng Hao lying to him?

Cheng Hao said, "A customer gave it to me. He lost his wallet and I found it and returned it to him. He then bought me ten hamburgers as a thank you."

Cheng Hao didn't intend to let Lin Yuxun know that he was boxing. After all, he was fighting an illegal boxing match, which was quite dangerous.

Just like he didn't want Lin Yuxun to do the cleaning work, Lin Yuxun probably wouldn't want to see him boxing.

But for now, this is his only way to make money, and he also likes this way of making money...so he can only deceive Lin Yuxun.

"By the way, I also received a week's salary in advance today." Cheng Hao took out the thirty-five yuan and gave it to Lin Yuxun.

In the United States, salaries, especially for lower-level employees, are paid weekly.

Cheng Hao felt that they had no choice but to do this. People here were always used to spending all the money they got at once. If they were paid monthly, many people would go hungry in the second half of the month!

"So much!" Lin Yuxun was a little surprised: "Why do they advance the salary?" This is simply impossible... Generally speaking, those who have just started working will have their salary withheld for one week.

"Maybe it's because I'm good-looking? Today is the first day, and someone thought my service was good and praised me. The boss likes me too." Cheng Hao made up a story.

He had actually been scolded all day...but there was no need to tell Lin Yuxun this.

Hearing Cheng Hao say this, Lin Yuxun nodded first.

He also felt that Cheng Hao was good-looking and had an even better temperament. A person like this, standing next to those black people, would definitely stand out from the crowd, and it would be normal for others to give him tips.

If he had money, he would be happy to give Cheng Hao a little more tip.

But soon, his heart began to tighten again.

Having grown up in a poor community, he knew too well what good looks meant there, and this good looks had nothing to do with gender.

Even good-looking men are likely to be more successful than good-looking women.

Cheng Hao is really good-looking, and he's a rare yellow man...

Lin Yuxun suddenly became worried, fearing that Cheng Hao would suffer a loss.

Cheng Hao didn't know about his dilemma. He said, "Okay, let's go eat. After we finish eating, we can go to sleep quickly."

He had a fight today and his old feeling returned. He also found that his injuries were much lighter than he had imagined.

Yes, the original owner was stabbed in the stomach and bled a lot, but at least his bones and muscles were not injured, so he recovered faster.

Cheng Hao felt that he would have to start training from tomorrow, and he had to train, otherwise it would be difficult for him to win the next boxing match.

Now, after they eat, they go to bed early.

Lin Yuxun and Danny each ate a burger.

The burgers from the roadside shop that Cheng Hao brought back were much bigger than the fried chicken burgers he had eaten in China in his previous life. Even an adult man would be full after eating one. However, Danny, a child, ate it all, and Lin Yuxun didn't waste any of it.

Delicious food can really whet your appetite.

However, it is pitiful for these two people to regard food that others are tired of eating as delicacies.

Lin Yuxun ate up the hamburger, but refused to take the thirty-five yuan that Cheng Hao gave him and insisted on returning the money to Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao could only say, "This money is for my living expenses and rent. If you don't want to accept it, don't you want me to live here?"

Lin Yuxun took the money immediately.

After washing up, the three of them went to bed.

It was a bit crowded for three people to lie on the 1.5-meter bed, but fortunately, the three of them had good sleeping positions and did not affect each other.

In the past, Cheng Hao would fall asleep as soon as he lay down, but not today.

Although the game was over, he was still very excited. He couldn't sleep for a while and started thinking about the future.

He had already made money, but he did not ask Lin Yuxun to stop working. After all, his entire fortune was only 35 yuan, and he did not have the confidence to do so. Moreover, asking Lin Yuxun to stop working and go to that bad school was not necessarily a good thing.

But he couldn't just do nothing...

That night, Cheng Hao thought a lot, and as he was thinking, he felt Lin Yuxun, who was sleeping in the middle, leaning towards him.

It was a bit cold that day, so they covered themselves with quilts, Cheng Hao covered himself with one, and Lin Yuxun and Danny covered themselves with another.

Now seeing Lin Yuxun approaching, the man who was originally lying straight curled up into a ball. Cheng Hao thought he was cold, so he reached out and lifted his quilt and covered it on top of the quilt that Lin Yuxun and Danny were covering.

After Cheng Hao finished, he fell asleep peacefully, but scared Lin Yuxun.

He didn't expect Cheng Hao was still awake.

Fortunately, after covering himself with the quilt, Cheng Hao stopped moving. Lin Yuxun lay motionless for a while, but finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and slowly fell asleep.

The next day was Saturday, and there was no school, so there was no free breakfast and lunch.

Cheng Hao felt it was a pity. They didn't have much money, so he would have been happy to eat free food. Unfortunately, there was no...

Cheng Hao finally divided the two remaining burgers from last night into thirds, and took out the extra bread that Lin Yuxun had bought yesterday, and ate it with Lin Yuxun and Danny. Danny and Lin Yuxun had eaten burgers before bed last night and were not hungry, so half of the burger was enough for them in the morning. The extra bread bought yesterday actually went into Cheng Hao's stomach...

After eating and drinking, Cheng Hao looked at Lin Yuxun and said, "Let's go to work together!"

He couldn't stop Lin Yuxun from going to work, but he could go to work with Lin Yuxun.

If the two of them finish the work quickly, Lin Yuxun will be able to relax a little.

As for Danny...

Cheng Hao also thought about whether he should just not bring Danny with him, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it would be fine to bring him with him.

In his opinion, Lin Yuxun's method of educating Danny was actually not appropriate.

Danny has flaws and is destined to have a harder life than others. It is not a bad thing to let him understand the hardships of life. Moreover, he needs company.

It's definitely better to let him help with some work than to lock him up at home.

As for the possibility that he saw something he shouldn't have seen... with a mother like that, he would have probably seen everything he should have seen.

Lin Yuxun didn't want Cheng Hao to go to work together: "You don't have to go, I can do it alone."

But Cheng Hao had made the decision, so how could Lin Yuxun object?

Cheng Hao picked up Danny with one hand and placed the other on Lin Yuxun's shoulder, and then he "carried" Lin Yuxun towards the building: "Let's go!"

Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun went to the building together. They first did a simple cleaning with Danny, and then brought water to Lin Yuxun to facilitate the final cleaning.

When running around, he would often carry Danny on his back or hold him in his arms.

Danny likes being held by him, and most importantly, it allows him to exercise his body.

Of course, he did not forget to speak to Lin Yuxun in pure Mandarin.

Lin Yuxun learned to read very quickly, but it would take time to change his accent. However, if he took it slowly, he would be able to change it eventually.

The three of them worked together and finished all the work before two o'clock in the afternoon.

So Cheng Hao took Lin Yuxun and Danny to the supermarket early to buy their dinner.

After I got the money home yesterday, I was able to give suggestions... Cheng Hao asked for three apples, a few tomatoes, cucumbers, and even bread, he asked for meat floss bread.

Of course, he also ordered three of the most ordinary breads. He needed to exercise and consume a lot of energy, so he needed to eat more.

In fact, compared to buying ready-made foods, Cheng Hao would rather buy rice and vegetables, and then cook rice and stir-fry vegetables. However, there is no rice in the supermarket here, and he doesn't know how to cook.

He joined the boxing team at a young age and was constantly training; he had never been in the kitchen.

Even if he could cook, Lin Yu had no way to start a fire in the small house he was looking to rent - the landlord didn't even have gas connected to the garage.

Cheng Hao could only buy some vegetables that tasted better when eaten raw.

After returning home, before dinner time, Cheng Hao first taught Danny to recognize words, and then wrote some daily records for Lin Yuxun to learn to recognize words.

Danny can't hear anything and can only learn words by looking at real objects. This is very inconvenient and there are not many words that can be taught. Cheng Hao really wants a picture book or textbook as a teaching material, but unfortunately they don't have the conditions for it now.

When he earns a little more money, he will definitely find a way to move out of here and take these two people to a better community.

Cheng Hao ate dinner while thinking about this, and then said to Lin Yuxun: "I'm going out to work, you don't have to wait for me."

He doesn't need to "work" today, but he will go out for exercise.
