Zhou Cheng didn't live here, so he went back when it got a little later.
Xiaobao personally sent him off and only stopped at the door of the house rented by Zhou Cheng's family.
"You go back first. I'll come to see you tomorrow and we'll go together to meet the group of kids who bullied Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan." Xiao Bao said.
Although this happened, neither Tuan Tuan nor Yuan Yuan suffered any loss.
But those children are still there, and who knows, there might be others who have been hurt.
As an uncle, Xiaobao would never allow anyone to bully Tuantuan and Yuanyuan.
"Okay!" Zhou Cheng had the same idea.
Xiaobao: "Say hello to Zhou Yu for me, I won't go in."
Zhou Cheng glanced at Xiaobao and felt very grateful to this friend.
The place he and Zhou Yu rent now costs two yuan a month. They live in a yard with a group of other people and use a shared kitchen and toilet.
They rented a room and divided it into two rooms with wooden boards. The house was very small, less than 20 square meters.
If Xiaobao suggested going home to see the child at this time, Zhou Cheng would definitely feel uncomfortable.
When Zhou Cheng returned home and opened the door, Zhou Yu came to greet him.
"Brother, why are you back so late today? The meal is ready, hurry up..."
The brother and sister had dinner consisting of steamed bread made of sorghum flour, some pickles, and some vegetables. In order to save money, they did this almost every night.
"I've had dinner. This is for you. Heat it up before eating." Zhou Cheng handed the iron lunch box filled with dumplings to Zhou Yu.
Only then did Zhou Yu notice that her elder brother was holding not only a lunch box, but also a box.
“Brother, you…”
"Sister Jinfeng is back, and so is Xiaobao. I went to her house. She gave me some dumplings, and the box is full of clothes. Pick one out and wear it. It will be warmer."
The kang bed in the room had long been broken and there was no way to provide heating.
Fortunately, the quilts Li Jinfeng prepared for them were thick enough. However, after so many years, the cotton filling in the quilts is no longer as warm as it used to be.
When Zhou Yu heard Li Jinfeng's name from her elder brother, her eyes turned red.
"How are they...doing?"
Zhou Yu has also experienced school suspensions and seen many things.
Li Jinfeng and Lu Jianguo were very kind to them, and she was always worried about them in her heart.
"They are doing well and have invited us to spend the New Year's reunion with them. Xiaoyu, I agreed. You..."
The brother and sister have been dependent on each other for more than four years, and Zhou Cheng was also afraid that his sister would not accept the kindness of the Lu family.
"Brother, I'm fine. I'm so happy! Sister Jinfeng is a good person. She's like our own sister. We will remember her kindness in our hearts. When...when our lives get better in the future, we will repay her."
Zhou Cheng: “Yeah!”
"I'll go heat up some dumplings. You've come such a long way, you must be hungry. Let's eat together."
A big box of dumplings was indeed too much for Zhou Yu to eat by himself.
After she heated them up, she picked up a few more for her brother Zhou Cheng.
The brother and sister hadn't had a meal like this for several years. After eating, they washed the lunch boxes and went to bed early.
…
The next morning, Xiaobao came to see the two siblings.
Just like yesterday, he did not enter Zhou Cheng's house. He just stood at the door waiting, carrying the buns and scallion pancakes made by Li Jinfeng in the morning, and the rice porridge in a kettle.
Zhou Yu put on the thick cotton-padded jacket given by Li Jinfeng, while Xiaobao's military coat was still worn by Zhou Cheng.
