"..." Lao Jia choked, and he threw away the broom with trembling hands. After a moment of silence, he said, "So you met me. This is the retribution for lying."
"......"
Now it was Xiao Cheng's turn to be confused.
The father and son stayed together in such an awkward manner for the whole night without saying a word.
The next morning, Lao Jia went out. Cheng Shi was hit with a broom and couldn't get out of bed. He just lay there in a daze for a long time.
At noon, Lao Jia came back, all sweaty, and brought back a box of Coke, a brand new box of Coke.
Xiao Chengshi looked at the box of Coke with complicated eyes.
He didn't cry when he was hit with a stick yesterday, but now he is crying.
When Lao Jia saw that Xiao Chengshi was crying, he didn't say anything. He just spread out the lunch he bought and put it on his bed.

The time that followed began to fly. After Cheng Shi entered school, Jiang Wumei had less and less fun in his dreams. Like the third member of this family, he witnessed the growth of little Cheng Shi and accompanied him from elementary school to middle school to high school, and then to the university with a decent grade.
But before enrolling in school, this poor family finally faced the second problem, which was tuition fees.
Jiang Wumei knew too well what this family had, even better than the father and his son. The money in these two people's pockets combined might not be enough for the travel expenses to go to college. In this situation, there seemed to be no other way except to borrow money.
But just when Cheng Shi couldn't stop worrying about this, one afternoon, Lao Jia came back with 20,000 yuan.
