Chapter 42 First Encounter
The clerk who collected the water and electricity bills was named Zeng. He was a young man with a crew cut and a righteous face. He felt Chen Qing's aggressive aura and was startled.
This matter was not decided by him, so why should we hold him accountable?
But facing the aggressive Chen Qing, he could only soothe him gently: "I'll ask for you later."
"Okay. Tell your boss that if he doesn't move my water collection time forward, I will ask the two children to collect water during his water collection time."
According to the original owner's memory, Chen Qing learned that the time for their family to receive water was getting later and later.
They moved the time back from 2:30 to 6 to 6:30, just because they see that they have no one to rely on in their family and they start taking advantage of the weak!
Although Zeng Ganshi put on a smiling face, he was crying tears in his heart.
Damn it!
Why was it that when he was a child, the people in the neighborhood office were so glorious and could boss around the neighbors, but when it comes to him, he has to be humble and submissive! !
"Comrade Chen Qing, don't worry, I will definitely accurately feedback your opinions to our leaders."
Seeing that he was sensible, Chen Qing suppressed his anger.
They are all workers.
It’s not easy.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
She brought a bamboo chair and waited for Secretary Zeng to arrive while sewing clothes at the door.
After Secretary Zeng went back and reported Chen Qing's situation, the result was not good.
During this period, Chen Qing was killing people everywhere in the street, and many people tried to avoid him, but the people in their street office were holding Chen Qing's compensation.
If Chen Qing dares to cause trouble with them, their pension can be withheld or delayed.
"Comrade Chen, our leader said that this is also the leader's arrangement. We can't make the decision. Why don't you go and discuss it with Comrade He Yuan? If you can agree on a time, we will definitely have no objection."
"You've been back for such a long time, and you're telling me this news?" Chen Qing stared at him coldly: "Your leader is holding my money, right?"
"No, no."
"Oh."
Seeing his flattering look, Chen Qing felt so angry that he had no place to vent.
But the water supply problem had to be solved. After thinking about it, Chen Qing went to the inner courtyard to discuss it with He Yuan.
When she arrived at He Yuan's house, she knocked on the door. It was not locked and it opened with a creaky sound.
The man's short hair was still damp, as if he had just washed it and hadn't dried it completely yet. His eyebrows were dark and sharp. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Chen Qing was a little embarrassed and lowered his head and said, "The people from the street office asked us to discuss the time to get water. Can you postpone it for half an hour? I have two children who are getting water at home. If it's too late, the children may fall."
He Yuan accurately captured the key words: "You let two children fetch water?"
"Well……"
Chen Qing was speechless for a moment.
She admitted it.
It is indeed not very kind to send two children, one aged four and the other six, to fetch water and carry such heavy buckets back and forth.
But she has a side job after get off work, and the children can do these tasks, so Chen Qing did not take on all the housework herself.
I have no intention of giving up my side income.
Although she inherited the original owner's body and naturally had the responsibility to take care of the two children, she still felt a little embarrassed when being pointed out in public.
"Our children are more capable, you don't understand."
The only solution now is to save face by force.
He Yuan looked at her with a half-smile, and when she looked away guiltily, he said, "Today is fine, but I need to work overtime in the evening, and I will only be at home from 5:30 to 6:30. Apart from this time to get water, I have no time at all."
"I can help you, just give me a dime!"
He Yuxiang's business of height-increasing insoles has been making little progress recently. His only option now is to find other ways to make money.
Research is a well-known money-making profession.
He is still single.
The cost is definitely small.
I help pour water, earning ten cents a day, and three dollars a month, which is not much.
When He Yuan saw He Yuxiang, his eyes froze instantly, and he felt his heart suddenly tighten, as if it was being tightly grasped by something.
The boy was looking at him eagerly. The afterglow of the setting sun filtered in through the green-painted wooden door, outlining a golden edge on his profile.
The raised curve of the brow bone, the slightly sunken groove from the bridge of the nose to the philtrum, the face shape and eye shape, all look very similar to the eldest brother in the vague memory!
He was still young at that time and did not have a deep memory of his eldest brother, but the photos of his eldest brother left at home were deeply engraved in his heart.
Now, when he saw this child, he seemed to see the shadow of his elder brother, and that familiar feeling instantly came to his heart.
"Uncle?" He Yuxiang reminded softly.
What's wrong with this person?
I didn't come back to my senses for a long time.
Could it be that the research is too tiring and my brain is stuck?
He Yuan came back to his senses and felt a little ridiculous.
My eldest brother died early.
His parents also died of depression a few years ago.
Perhaps it was because he had been single for too long in recent years and had come to a foreign place, so he felt a little dazed.
"You want to make money?"
"Yeah, you can name a price, too."
He Yuxiang didn't see that he was unwilling to lower the price automatically.
What if the researcher agrees?
Then wouldn’t he be losing money if he took the initiative to lower the price?
He Yuan: "I don't need a six-year-old to help me with my work."
He glanced at Chen Qing indifferently, the meaning of which was self-evident.
He Yuxiang was anxious: "Uncle, don't get me wrong, I am willing to fetch water for a reason. My father is a martyr, and my dream is to be a soldier. I hope I can have a very good body and exercise well so that I can be recruited by the army."
He Yuan: "Then I promise you, you can fetch water for me for free."
He Yuxiang: “!!!”
Chen Qing: “!!!”
Where's this person's face?
He Yuxiang glanced at his aunt in a trance. He used to think that his aunt was the most shameless person in the world, but now she finally found someone who matched her.
"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to fetch water for you, but we are not related at all. If you give me money or tell others that you have given me some benefits, outsiders will think you are a good person. But fetching water for you for free will easily leave a bad impression on the neighbors."
"So you're thinking about me?"
He Yuan narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, showing a hint of interest.
He Yuxiang nodded heavily: "Yes!"
Chen Qing pursed her lips.
She also understood why He Yuxiang would be successful in the future. When he wanted to make money, it was as if he finally had a mouth to feed!
He has a lot of different words to say.
I'll be able to fool her later.
It was obvious that he wanted to find the right time to fetch water and make some money at the same time, and he said it so righteously!
sharp!
He Yuan raised his lips slightly: "I promise you, ten cents a day, three dollars a month."
“Thank you, uncle!!”
He Yuxiang shouted very loudly.
Chen Qing realized belatedly that the brat didn't even seem to call him aunt.
She kept shouting "Hey, hey, hey" all day long.
No respect for elders at all!
Forget it. I am a magnanimous person and I won’t argue with him.
"Thank you, Researcher He, for taking care of my nephew. We will go back first."
