"Hello, who is this?"
"It's me, Jing Wanpeng."
"Brother Peng, why did you think of calling me?"
"You know the answer but you still ask."
"Isn't he calling to tell me that something is going to happen soon and to invite me to the wedding?"
"You guessed it right. Remember to prepare a big gift for me. After all, we are from the same place."
"No problem, I must."
Jing Wanpeng laughed after hearing this: "Luo Qiao, take good care of yourself in the future. If you encounter problems that you can't solve, you can come to me. Remember, we have a common secret."
"Okay, Brother Peng, be happy!"
"Yes, I will. The date is set for the sixth of next month. Remember to come to the wedding on behalf of my old family."
"Okay, I'll be there early."
After hanging up the phone, both of them were in an uneasy mood. Luo Qiao had almost forgotten everything about her past life, but now scenes flashed before her eyes.
Jing Wanpeng told himself in his heart that after making the call, he would say goodbye to everything that happened before. They would be just friends from now on, and he would be responsible for his future significant other, the little girl with a beautiful smile.
After work that day, Luo Qiao took some time out to go back to the second courtyard to see Uncle Rong and Aunt Rong.
These days the old couple has been busy with things in the back garden. They just opened the greenhouse a few days ago and have been tilling the land these days. In a few days they will be transplanting the vegetable seedlings.
Aunt Rong didn't expect Luo Qiao to come back today. When she heard the noise and saw that it was Luo Qiao, she smiled and said, "How come you have time to come back today?"
"Look, you didn't even call me in advance so I could cook some delicious dishes for you."
"I'm not picky about food. I like all the dishes you cook."
After entering the yard, I didn't see Uncle Rong: "Auntie, where is my Uncle Rong?"
When Aunt Rong heard her asking her husband, she pointed across the street and said, "I'm going to bring food to your Uncle Xu."
Luo Qiao was puzzled and asked, "What's going on?"
Aunt Rong sighed, "It is said that most of the pension money will be in our own hands. Previously, the children were arguing that each family had its own difficulties and divided up the little pension money saved by the old man. When Grandpa Xu fell ill, everyone said that they had something to do and couldn't leave.
It's not just your Uncle Xu who lives in that yard. Look at the Xiang and Tian families next door. Their children are very filial. They are afraid that something might happen to their parents, so they come over here every few days. Even the daughters-in-law and sons-in-law come over every now and then to ask about their well-being. You won't know until you compare them.
A few days ago, Lao Xu couldn't even eat. He probably couldn't bear it and cried. Your uncle couldn't bear to see him so pitiful, so he asked me to make an extra meal every day and send it to him."
Luo Qiao nodded and said, "Hey, the children of the Xu family all have jobs, and they are not afraid of being criticized by others. They are almost as good as the children of my master's family."
Aunt Rong didn't stop moving her hands: "There are selfish children, but this kind is rare. At least others pretend to be so, but these few have no shame at all."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Luo Qiao asked: "Will the community not care about this situation?"
Uncle Xu's situation is different from that of his master. Uncle Xu came back from Beidacan and has never had a formal job, so he has no pension now. The pension money he saved before was taken away by his children. If they don't take care of it, he really can't survive.
Before I got sick, I always played chess with Uncle Rong and the others, so it was normal for Uncle Rong to not be able to bear it and bring me food.
