Southwest seemed to have heard something out of a fantasy; this idea was too terrifying. He waved his hand, signaling Xu Da to handle the matter, and the man was fired.
Xu Da had the finance department settle his wages of seventeen yuan and fifty cents, but Chen Dalong objected again, saying, "Wasn't it supposed to be forty yuan a month? Where did the missing two yuan and fifty cents go?"
"Your bed and room are free, and the water and electricity you use are free too," Xu Da said coldly.
Chen Dalong was still a little scared when he saw Xu Da's serious face. He put the money in his pocket and said to Xinan, "Xinan, I want to find my father. Please take me there."
Southwest thought for a moment and said, "Go to the guesthouse and wait. I don't know if your father will be willing to come and see you."
Chen Dalong returned to his dormitory, cursing Southwest and Cuihua with foul language, wondering how Cuihua had raised her child.
Xu Da snorted coldly, "If you curse again, I won't be polite to you. You're foul-mouthed, and I'm foul-mouthed too."
Chen Dalong then shut up, packed his luggage, and went to the guesthouse where he had stayed the first day, thinking that he would go with his father when he arrived.
The next morning, Old Man Chen appeared before Chen Dalong with Yan Xiaoqiang. Yan Xiaoqiang was the person Chen Dalong feared the most.
"I heard you insulted my son, saying he had no manners, and you also insulted my wife, saying some really nasty things?"
Chen Dalong quickly shook his head, feeling a slight pain in the places where Yan Xiaoqiang had hit him.
“You should go back today. It costs two yuan a day here. If you stay another day, you’ll have to spend two yuan more,” Yan Xiaoqiang said.
Chen Dalong knew, of course, that he was heartbroken about spending this money, and looked at his father pitifully, saying, "Dad, can I stay at your place for a couple of days?"
Yan Xiaoqiang laughed. This big dragon was still incorrigible: "I can't keep you here. Either go back, or you're on your own."
Old Man Chen shook his head in disappointment: "Da Long, Er Long did a great job. They've already decided to keep him. Why are you so disappointing?"
Upon hearing that Erlong might be kept on, Chen Dalong's eyes lit up, and he said to Old Man Chen, "Dad, how about I go work for Erlong? I'm sure I'll do a good job."
Yan Xiaoqiang clenched his fists, but still held back. Lazybones are lazybones; it's their nature, and no human can change it.
"Dalong, you should go back. The capital is not suitable for you," Old Man Chen advised earnestly.
"Dad, you're being too selfish. You can make a living in the capital, why should I go back?" Chen Dalong resorted to shamelessness.
Yan Xiaoqiang had no time to argue with him and pulled Old Man Chen away.
"Go back or not, it's up to you, but don't come looking for us, or I'll show you why Lord Ma has three eyes."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dalong felt intimidated. Yan Xiaoqiang always said this before beating someone up.
"Dad, can you give me some money? I don't have money to buy a train ticket."
Seeing Chen Dalong's pitiful act, Yan Xiaoqiang nodded: "I know there's a train back today. Let's go, I'll go with you to buy it."
Chen Dalong's expression changed. He didn't want to go back. He would rather beg for food in the capital than return to that backwater.
He turned around and went back to the guesthouse, slamming the door shut. He planned to go out and see if there was any work to do, since he couldn't afford to stay at the guesthouse anyway, and he had to find something to do.
Upon receiving the news, Southwest sneered and instructed Xu Da to notify the police station to forcibly send the person back to Chenjia Village, otherwise, if they really caused trouble, it would affect his mother's reputation.
As for the North and South, seeing that Erlong was really working diligently, they had no objections. The Yan family liked down-to-earth people.
Whether they are from the north or the south, they all came from humble beginnings, and their hard-working journeys are clearly visible to everyone.
Erlong was also very happy to see Bei Nan and Yan Xiaonan. He said a few words to the foreman and pointed in Yan Xiaonan's direction. The foreman nodded in agreement.
"Nan Nan, Uncle, thank you for giving me a chance to make money. Do you know how much I earned this month? More than seventy yuan. I'll treat you to dinner on my day off."
Yan Xiaonan nodded with a smile, saying that it was fine for Erlong to treat her to a meal, but she would make it up to him later.
For example, you could give him a can of malted milk powder; he's tired from working on the construction site, so it's good for him to have some nourishment.
“Okay, Uncle, it’s settled then. I’ll pick you up this Sunday, and we’ll have a meal together.”
Hearing Yan Xiaonan agree, Erlong was very happy: "Then come find me soon, and Beinan too!"
Bei Nan didn't know what to say; he didn't particularly like Chen's uncles.
"Nan Nan, I'm going to the club. Call me if you need anything." Bei Nan simply didn't answer; he didn't know how to defuse this kindness.
Shen Shaohua sat in his office, staring absentmindedly at the sky through the glass.
Shen Mingtian knew about his daughter's struggles but had always ignored them. He hoped that his daughter could truly learn to face her feelings squarely.
The Yan family doesn't really care how much money or status you have, because they were also born into humble backgrounds.
Just like Xuemei in their family, who was bought when she was a child, look how happy she is now.
Grandma Yan doted on her, Cuihua and Yan Xiaoqiang respected her, and Dongnan protected her very well.
The two children she gave birth to are also skillful and clever, and her younger siblings call her "elder sister-in-law" affectionately.
As long as Shen Shaohua treats Bei Nan with sincerity, the Yan family will definitely reciprocate with sincerity as well; this is the kindness of their family.
Shen Shaohua also knew that she was being cowardly. If the Yan family wasn't so rich, and if Bei Nan wasn't so unstable, she wouldn't have overthought things.
She had already decided to never contact Bei Nan again, so even though Bei Nan left after Nan Nan's wedding, she didn't go to see him off at the airport.
Bei Nan had no idea what was happening to her. He kept calling her, but she wouldn't answer.
After that, Bei Nan never called again, but her heart grew even more hopeful.
Every day, she would stare at the telephone, and whenever it rang, her palms would sweat, hoping it was Bei Nan, yet also hoping it wasn't.
Seven or eight months passed, and Shen Shaohua knew that Bei Nan would no longer call her; she had been too sentimental.
There was a knock on the door, and Shen Shaohua said weakly, "Come in."
Hearing someone come in, she walked to the table and asked without looking up, "What is it?"
Bei Nan smiled, tapped the table with her hand, and said softly, "I've come to find one of my lost little sparrows."
Shen Shaohua suddenly stood up, his head hitting Bei Nan's chin. Bei Nan cried out in pain, clutching her chin and screaming.
Shen Shaohua was also in a bad state, clutching his head in pain and almost crying, with waves of pain shooting through his head and chest.
Why is this lower jaw so hard, like a rock? It's really a bad thing.
