Chapter 91 Looking at Mom's Photo
The director of the subdistrict office smiled bitterly and said to Chen Qing: "I promise that the children of the subdistrict office will never bully the two little guys in the future."
"That'd better be the case. Otherwise, I'll make you the same as they are."
Chen Qing snorted coldly.
This matter finally came to an end. There were fiery clouds on the horizon and light shone out from behind the clouds. The blazing red and orange were particularly eye-catching.
Chen Qing took Xiaoyu's hand, He Yuxiang held the other side, and He Yuan followed closely behind. The four of them walked home slowly and leisurely.
The first thing to do when you get home is eat!
At noon she packed a squab for the two little ones, and they ate squab and eggplant in the evening.
Chen Qing went to check out the dishes for tonight, and when he saw the eggplant, his face turned purple: "Why is it eggplant again!"
"Because eggplant is the cheapest." He Yuxiang went to cook.
He Yuan went to get the iron for Chen Qing, "Try it."
"OK."
Chen Qingzhen feels that today's researchers are like magicians who can make anything happen. It's very magical.
After the iron is filled with water, steam comes out, which can make wrinkled clothes smooth. For Chen Qing, this is really satisfactory.
“This is good!”
"As long as you can use it." He Yuan installed a brighter light for her, looked at the large spider web in her room, and pointed at it: "Aren't you going to clean it up? Otherwise, I'll help you clean it up."
Chen Qing's cheeks flushed: "It's okay, we have been coexisting peacefully."
He Yuan was quite shocked: "Okay, then I'll go back first."
There was nothing they could do as the old men and women around them started staring at them again.
Chen Qing sent him out the door: "Then take good care of yourself on your business trip and come back early."
He Yuan felt a warm feeling in his heart and nodded in agreement.
One more thing to do: make a sewing machine.
It was a waste of energy for her to sew purely by hand. If she had a sewing machine, it would be much easier for her.
Xiaoyu poked her head in and said, "Aunt, is uncle doing well?"
Chen Qing bent his index finger and tapped her head: "Don't think too much, go eat."
Her chopsticks paused for a long time above the eggplant, and then she picked it up and put it into the bowl with a fearless attitude.
Comfort yourself silently: It is shameful to waste food!
The two little ones ate with great relish. The skin of the squab was crispy and the meat was tender, and their mouths were greasy from eating.
He Yuxiang: "Squab pigeons are expensive, right?"
Chen Qing thought that there was only 46 left and 158 foreign debts.
My heart aches.
"Two dollars a piece. I bought three."
He Yuxiang's mouth twitched: "You are so extravagant."
Chen Qing also thought: "You know, your aunt is unreliable. You should work hard to make money, otherwise my family will not be able to afford food because of my spending."
"you……"
He Yuxiang was speechless.
But as he has enough food and drink, he is very cautious about selling things on the black market and has no plans to expand the scale at present.
In the future, when he grows up and can go to the black market on his own, he will make more money.
Xiaoyu ate the delicious squab and said vaguely, "Squab is the most delicious meat in the world."
He Yuxiang: "You are the best in everything."
He angrily put a few pieces of squab into his sister's bowl, and only felt satisfied when he saw her cheeks puff up.
He Yuxiang was still responsible for washing the dishes tonight. He boiled some water and asked his sister to take a bath first.
Xiaoyu came over holding the clothes and said, "Brother, Auntie asked you to go find her."
"What do you want to see her for?" He Yuxiang filled a bucket with water and carried it to the bathroom for her.
Xiaoyu: "I don't know."
"Got it. You should take a shower quickly." He Yuxiang stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove, then came to his aunt's room and said with a sour face, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Here, ten dollars as compensation." Chen Qing handed him a big unity.
"Are you really going to give it to me?" He Yuxiang heard the conversation between her and Uncle He Yuan, but when he saw her put the money into her pocket as soon as she received it, he gave up hope. He didn't expect that she would really give it to me.
Chen Qing: "You did a great job protecting your sister, but you must be careful in the future and try not to get hurt. If you can solve it with your brain, don't use your hands. Look at your face, someone who doesn't know would think I hit you."
He Yuxiang: "You've hit me much harder than this before."
Chen Qing: "Don't mention the past anymore."
"You dare to do it but you don't dare to take responsibility for it." When He Yuxiang recalled those scenes now, he didn't know why, but he always felt that they didn't match the person in front of him.
Chen Qing: "Do you want more money?"
"want!"
He Yuxiang put the largest denomination ten-dollar bill he had into his pocket. When he raised his eyes, he saw her gentle smile under the light, and his eyes felt inexplicably sore.
After she returned home today, she didn't question him why he fought and got into trouble, nor did she scold or hit him. She just protected him very well.
All the rumors were directed at her, and no one talked about him anymore as a six-year-old kid fighting with his elders.
"I'm going back to the house first."
"Go ahead, call me when you're done."
"knew."
He Yuxiang returned to his room and hid the money. He counted the money carefully and found that there were a total of 17.5 yuan, which was more than the savings of many adults.
He turned back the sheets and took out his mother's photo.
"Mom, my aunt seems to have gotten a little better. Xiaoyu likes her very much. I... don't hate her as much anymore."
His fingers gently stroked the yellowed edge of the photo. The mother in the photo was wearing a dark blue dress and had a gentle and bright smile. He Yuxiang's voice gradually became choked: "Xiaoyu has learned to count from 1 to 40, and she can eat her fill. I have taken good care of her sister."
Before, my aunt was very mean and he didn’t know what to do. He asked my mother every day to take him and his sister away, but my mother didn’t want to and never came to take them away. Now that my aunt has become a better person and my sister is happy, my mother will surely be very happy too.
"elder brother!!"
A cheerful voice was heard, and He Yuxiang quickly hid the photo.
"what?"
"What did your aunt want to talk to you about?" Xiaoyu asked curiously.
"She gave me ten dollars." He Yuxiang did not hide it from her.
Xiaoyu opened her mouth into an 'O' shape, "So much, only adults can spend so much money."
"You are not allowed to tell anyone else." He Yuxiang reminded.
Xiaoyu covered her mouth with both hands: "I promise not to tell anyone."
He Yuxiang was relieved and took a dry towel to wipe her hair. When it was half dry, he went to take a shower. After taking a shower, he filled the bucket with water for his aunt and called her, "Take a shower."
“Here I come.”
Chen Qing finished tomorrow's report and then went to take a shower. She was exhausted this Sunday.
All kinds of emotions were felt.
It's also amazing.
After taking a shower, Chen returned to the room and felt the normal light. He saw the spiders diligently weaving their webs, and felt that the originally normal spider sisters had become an eyesore.
She would find a ladder and take them away some other day. Otherwise, if He Yuan came to her room next time and saw them, she would look very sloppy.
She really likes cleanliness!
