Chapter 244 You Can Ignore Us
Wu Shanshan said gently, "Eat quickly."
Wu Jun took a bite of the cut steak, which was very fragrant and tender.
He had never eaten beef before, let alone eaten it so heartily.
After eating a piece, Wu Jun looked at his sister.
Wu Shanshan raised her voice and said emphatically, "After you finish eating, don't leave any leftovers. Don't waste food. It's very expensive. Aunt Huang spent a lot of money on it."
Wu Jun picked up a piece and handed it to his sister.
Wu Shanshan shook her head. "I've eaten. I ate so much that I almost vomited. Aunt Song kept asking me if I was full and told me not to save it for you. She would buy some for you separately."
Wu Jun ate another piece and found it delicious.
Wu Shanshan added, "Xiaojun, I always thought we had no one to rely on and could only rely on ourselves. But in fact, we have, and we have never relied solely on ourselves."
Wu Jun nodded.
She watched Wu Jun silently finish his steak and sandwich.
The two heard Wu Jianguo start to pack up outside, but Wu Shanshan did not move.
After packing up the things in the outer room, Wu Jianguo walked to the door of their room and saw that the door was closed. The sound of Wu Shanshan reciting English came from inside the room.
Wu Jianguo grabbed a handful of biscuits from the biscuit jar, softened them with cold boiled water, ate them, then fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Wu Shanshan got up on time and cooked some porridge.
When Wu Jianguo was woken up, he saw three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Just as he was feeling happy, he heard Wu Shanshan calling out, "Dad, let's eat."
But the voice was as cold as ice, and it pulled Wu Jianguo into the ice cellar again.
He sat down at the table and had breakfast together.
"Shanshan..."
Wu Jianguo wanted to say something, but Wu Shanshan acted as if he didn't exist and then began to explain to Wu Jun:
"Xiaojun, I'm going to work soon. You can have the leftover porridge at noon. It doesn't have to be hot, you can eat it cold too."
"Okay, sister, don't worry about it. I'll just eat cold food, it's cooler." Wu Jun agreed readily.
"I'll come..." Wu Jianguo wanted to say that he didn't have to go to work today and would come to heat up the porridge at noon, but Wu Shanshan ignored him and said to Wu Jun:
"After breakfast, complete each item according to the plan we made yesterday. Remember to set a time and mark the time. I will come back to check."
Wu Jun nodded again: "I understand, sister."
"After finishing your homework, go to Aunt Li's house to help in the afternoon. Do whatever you can and keep your eyes open for work!" Wu Shanshan instructed again.
Huang Ling lent her house to Li Yiming as a wedding house. The two of them went to the Housing Management Department and asked professionals to take a look. They confirmed that the wall could be demolished. They have been cleaning up the things in the house these two days to prepare to start the work.
"Well, okay, I won't come back even if Aunt Li asks me to. I'm sure I can help in some way." Wu Jun replied.
Wu Jianguo opened his mouth but no words came out.
He is like air.
Wu Shanshan's "Dad" in the morning was only because she and Xiaojun still had to live in this house.
Now the "Dad" she calls is the same as "Old Wu" or "Wu Jianguo" called by others. It is just a name without any emotional color.
After breakfast, Wu Shanshan began to collect the dishes.
Wu Jianguo said flatteringly, "You go ahead, I'll clean it up."
Wu Shanshan ignored them. The two siblings cooperated very well. One of them collected the dishes to be washed, and the other collected the pickle bowls and wiped the table.
Wu Jianguo suddenly remembered that he had never done this before, and of course Zhang Min had never done this before.
After Wu Shanshan left, Wu Jianguo went to Wu Jun's room, sat on Wu Jun's bed and watched his son doing his homework seriously.
"Xiaojun, your sister may have misunderstood Dad..."
Wu Jianguo wanted to communicate with Wu Shanshan, but it was obvious that Wu Shanshan didn't want to communicate with him, so he planned to start with Wu Jun.
"Dad, I'm doing my homework on time, you go to work." Wu Jun took a pen and tapped the alarm clock.
"Oh, I won't bother you anymore. If you need any stationery in the future, just tell me and I will take you to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it myself. I promise to buy it right away and not keep it overnight." Wu Jianguo promised.
"No need, Dad, my sister will buy it for me." Wu Jun muttered without raising his head.
Wu Jianguo didn't know that since Zhang A'mei came into the family, the only person Wu Jun depended on was his sister.
Yesterday, he didn't know what had happened. It was only through the quarrel between the two that he found out that his sister was working in a garment factory and earning money. The two of them even went to the garment factory to make trouble.
Wu Jun was not worried at all that his sister would suffer any loss because Huang Ling and Song Ying were there.
Seeing his son's attitude, Wu Jianguo was very annoyed. So, regardless of whether his son paid attention to him or not, he said behind him:
"Why are you the same as your sister? Why don't you understand Dad? Dad goes out early and comes back late every day. He works overtime when others have holidays. I make furniture whenever I have time. It's all to make more money so that you can live a better life."
Wu Jun lowered his head and worked on the questions without saying a word.
"Xiaojun!" Wu Jianguo shouted.
Wu Jun was shocked.
It turned out that he didn't listen to what Wu Jianguo said just now. He had blocked out the outside sounds and concentrated on studying. After a long period of training with Wu Shanshan, he also made great progress.
Wu Jun turned around and looked at Wu Jianguo with a calm expression.
Seeing him looking at him, Wu Jianguo continued:
"I know you hate me, but I'm not biased. You're my own children, and I've never been biased. No...why didn't you tell me if you had something wrong? How would I know if you didn't tell me?"
Wu Jun chuckled lightly: "Anyway, I only know that when I have problems, I always go to my sister, Aunt Song, Aunt Huang, Aunt Li, and Brother Yiming. They will definitely be solved. It's useless to go to anyone else."
Wu Jianguo was stunned again.
He thought the children didn't come to him because they had their own ideas, but he didn't realize it was because he was unreliable.
He was about to say something, but Wu Jun glanced at the alarm clock and reminded him:
"Dad, I think you should go pick them up, otherwise it will be embarrassing if their family comes knocking on our door."
Thinking of this, Wu Jianguo's heart tightened, and he murmured again:
"If I hadn't been angry with you and your mother yesterday, I wouldn't have hit her. In all these years, I've never hit her..."
Wu Jun smiled at his father and said, "Dad, you really shouldn't have done that. You can just live like before and not worry about us. After my sister and I leave this house, you three can live a peaceful life."
For a moment, Wu Jianguo didn't know whether he was feeling ashamed, distressed, or angry. He just felt like there was a breath stuck in his chest, neither going up nor down.
Wu Jun buried his head in his homework and blocked out his father again.
Wu Jianguo changed his clothes, took the money and put it under Wu Jun's alarm clock, then said, "I don't know if I can come back today. This is my living expenses."
After saying that, he walked out without waiting for his son to answer.
He passed by Song Ying's yard and saw Aunt Li packing up her things, so he walked over and said politely:
"Sister Li, I have to go to my sister's parents' home and may not be able to come back today. Please help look after Shanshan and Xiaojun."
Aunt Li didn't even look up before answering, "They can take care of themselves, and they'll come to me if they need anything. You go ahead!"
"Thank you." Wu Jianguo walked out of the alley dejectedly and went to pick up Zhang A-mei.
