Mingjie was delighted and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, can I choose the place myself?"
Deng Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Can you see a place with good feng shui?"
"I'm just scratching the surface. I just want to choose a good place. I'm going to live here for the rest of my life."
Deng Chen frowned and shook his head. "Brother, you have some ambition. Are you satisfied with just this small villa? Can you be more ambitious?"
"Brother Chen, I think this is the best time in recent years. I think after getting married, I will have to live here for a long time. Actually, I don't have any ideas. I just want to be down-to-earth." Mingjie showed Deng Chen a satisfied smile.
I am very grateful for following Deng Chen back then, and now we are together, and my career has been successful again.
At first, his relatives didn't think highly of him as a laborer working on a construction site, and they often gave him a hard time.
Nowadays, everyone who sees him praises him to the sky and flatters him.
Deng Chen raised the corners of his mouth and said teasingly, "You kid, you should get married first. By the way, how about that lesbian that Aunt Wang Lu introduced to you a while ago?"
"After a month together, the woman was quite satisfied, but I didn't like it very much."
"Why?"
"Auntie Wang Lu introduced me to children of high-ranking officials. Their families were not optimistic about my family background, thinking that I didn't have much wealth. I wasn't even a college graduate, just the vice president of a construction company. I had no security or connections, so I couldn't help their family at all."
"The company's vice president doesn't even meet their standards. What kind of background does he need? If they don't like him, then forget it. It's better not to have such a family."
"I thought so too, so I broke up with him. Don't mention it anymore. Aunt Wang Lu is also very angry. She didn't come here for a good reason, but she didn't expect it to be such a person. She also blamed herself for being so blind and said that she would never match anyone with a partner again."
Deng Chen smiled and said, "Yeah, this is quite embarrassing. But you too, you... you look pretty good too, why can't you meet someone suitable?"
Mingjie said with a bitter face, "I'm always away from home. Most of the people working on the construction site are men, not even a woman. Where can I find someone?"
"I see, I see. Are you blaming me for not giving you a vacation?"
"That's not the case."
"Well, the project in NJ will undergo a second inspection at the end of the year, so you can go over there."
Mingjie nodded subconsciously, and when he recovered, he realized that this was not a good thing.
The New Year was approaching, and the train was packed. He had just gotten himself into trouble again.
"Oh, Brother Chen, please don't, please forgive me."
...
The land in the Third Ring Road was negotiated today. Deng Chen was so happy that he asked the canteen to add an extra dish of braised pork at noon.
In the afternoon, snowflakes began to fall heavily.
By four or five o'clock the snow was getting heavier and heavier, falling down wantonly, and soon the grass was dyed snow-white.
Deng Chen didn't want to go and give his father the candied lotus root because it was so cold.
But I was thinking that I would go to NJ to pick up Han and the others in two days.
It’s better to go home early.
I let Mingjie go to NJ today, just to tease him.
He did the acceptance work as a side job.
I left work early in the afternoon and returned to Deng's house with the remaining two boxes of candied lotus roots.
As soon as I walked to the entrance of the community, I saw a group of people gathered nearby.
Deng Chen was curious and walked over to take a look. What he saw was shocking. It was actually Deng's mother.
The bicycle next to her fell to the side, and Mother Deng sat on the ground motionless.
"Mom? What's wrong with you?" Deng Chen didn't care about the candied lotus root in his hand, and quickly squatted down to look at Mother Deng.
"It's Xiaochen."
"Can you stand up?"
"Old Deng's, this is your son, right? Just in time, have him take you to the hospital. Old Deng's son, your mother fell and her leg is probably broken."
When Deng Chen heard what his neighbor said, he lowered his head and moved Deng's mother's leg. As soon as he touched it, Deng's mother screamed in pain and told him not to touch her.
"It hurts. I guess my foot is twisted and I can't move."
"Mom, it's okay, we'll go to the hospital now."
"Can someone please call 120?"
"Young man, I called. It's snowing today, and there are a lot of accidents. All the ambulances from the hospital nearby have been dispatched."
Deng Chen didn't hesitate when he heard this. He said to the young people beside him, "Come on, lend a hand. I'll carry my mother over."
"Okay, come on, everyone help."
Several people helped Deng's mother to stand up and patted Deng Chen's back.
Mother Deng’s leg must be broken and she can’t move at all.
Stand up and sit down again.
Deng Chen hurried home, found something to fix Deng's mother's legs.
In the community, someone pushed a tricycle to him, and several people worked together to get Mother Deng onto the tricycle.
Deng Chen rode his tricycle all the way to the hospital.
You know, it takes half an hour to walk from Deng Dad’s community to the hospital.
Deng Chen carried his mother, who was wearing so many warm clothes, without stopping and arrived at the hospital in just over ten minutes.
When he arrived at the hospital, Deng Chen's clothes were soaked.
Mother Deng was held by him and walked around the hospital several times. She even felt tired for Deng Chen.
I didn't say anything, but I felt so touched.
Even if Daqing was by her side, he probably wouldn't have the fortitude to carry her around the hospital and try not to touch her legs.
Her mother was right. At the critical moment, this is also her son.
Mother Deng didn't expect that she would break her bones with just a slight fall.
When Mr. Deng hurried over, Mrs. Deng was already undergoing surgery.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"It was snowing and the roads were slippery. My mom fell off her bicycle and broke her leg."
"Oh, is it serious?"
"The doctor said it can't be repositioned manually, so surgery is the only option. I need to recuperate well after the surgery."
The father and son waited outside for two hours before Deng's mother came out. Fortunately, the operation was successful.
Stay in the hospital for a week and be observed for a few days, then you can go back to recuperate.
Father Deng looked at Mother Deng's legs wrapped tightly on the bed, relaxed the atmosphere and jokingly said, "As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. It just happened to be the New Year. This year you are the ancestor of the family. You don't have to do anything but lie down and eat."
Mother Deng glanced at him sideways in annoyance. "I'm suffering right now, and you're still in the mood to tease me. You don't know how much pain it was." After saying that, Mother Deng turned to look at Deng Chen and said, "Xiaochen, I'm fine. Your dad is here to take care of me. You've been sweating all over. Go home and change your clothes quickly to avoid catching a cold."
"Yes, yes, it's not good to wear wet clothes in such a cold day. I'm here, go back and change your clothes."
"Mom and Dad, I'm fine. My clothes are dry. Let Dad stay here first. I'll go home and get a quilt and a camp bed."
