Seventy cannon fodder is a ruthless man

Chapter 102
Wei Liang went to open the door, and was surprised to see someone following Meng Jingang. Meng Jingang smiled and said to him, "Wei Liang, I'm sorry, I'm late. I met my second brother on the street and knew that my third brother was injured." After staying in the county hospital, we went to the hospital to visit my third brother...

My second brother has no place to live for the time being, the three of us will huddle together tonight, he will find another way tomorrow.Also, my second brother and I didn’t have dinner. I just saw that there is still a fire in the coal stove. How about we add coal balls and cook some porridge? "

Wei Liang: "..."

What happened to Meng Jingang?It was already very difficult to take him in by himself, so why did he bring someone here?When this is a hostel?

I still cook porridge, and there is no food at home.

Wei Liang thought of his mother turning over the empty grain bag carefully when making dinner, shaking it lightly, not letting go of the flour in the gaps, and said apologetically: "Our grain book is filled every day. This month's food quota has been eaten up so quickly this month, and I have exceeded my budget. I will go to your uncle's house tomorrow to see if I can borrow some. I will eat less tonight, half a bowl of batter for each person, and half a bowl for your classmate. If you don't come back to stay, you and your brother will share the food as a midnight snack, so you won't be hungry in the middle of the night."

He shared the batter with his younger brother, so he wasn't hungry in the middle of the night, but what about his parents?Aren't they hungry?

Wei Liang knew now that what his elder sister said was right.

The family is so poor, he hasn't worked yet, hasn't earned a penny from the family, and is still supported by his parents. Why does he take in guests for so long?This family is not just his own. If there are guests, the family will have to save rations and starve. His mother is malnourished, with a sallow and emaciated face, and his brother is half a child, and he always seems to be hungry...

Wei Liang felt ashamed, not for classmate Meng Jingang, but for his own parents and family members.

"I'm sorry King Kong, my eldest sister has returned with her nephew and brother-in-law, you can find another place to live tonight."

When Wei Liang said this sentence naturally, Meng Jingang was stunned, and Meng Jingui behind him was also stunned, and then felt a burst of regret in his heart, is this not acceptable?If he had known, he would not have followed this long distance. He was cold and hungry. It would be better to sit in the hospital. At least it would be warm and there would be boiling water to drink.

Meng Jingang stammered a little: "Then, is your elder sister really here?"

"Really." Wei Liang said.

Sister Wei's voice coaxing the child came from the room.

Meng Jingang: "... Wei Liang, why didn't you say it earlier? Where are we going now?"

"King Kong, you went out after lunch. I don't know where you went. My sister came here a long time ago. You just showed up now. How can I tell you?"

"But...then what should we do? The doors are closed everywhere, and the street lamps are going to be turned off, and the street is dark."

Wei Liang thought for a while and said, "How about this, do you remember Wu Wei from our class? His family belongs to a county department store, and the department store's family courtyard is in the city. It's just an old castle-style building with three doorways and a wide gate. It’s big, Wu Wei’s father is watching the door, the lights there are always on at night, there are two long rows of chairs, we usually go there to play cards, you go there to deal with it for one night, you tell Wu Wei’s father you It's classmate Wu Wei, he won't drive you away."

Meng Jingang felt that Wei Liang was insulting him, what bad idea did he come up with?He was actually asked to live in the doorway, why is he so down and out?

For the sake of his old classmates, he didn't want to turn against Wei Liang. He felt that he should have brought Meng Jingui here. Meng Jingui was dressed in such a rustic and dirty way. Wei Liang was upset. I don't want them to stay.

So he nodded and said, "Since it's inconvenient tonight, let's go and have a look elsewhere."

Seeing that he was refreshing, Wei Liang also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's getting late now, so go quickly."

But I heard Meng Jingang say: "Today I went to see our factory construction site. The factory building is basically ready, and the dormitory is also built very quickly. It will be completed next month, so I will come again next month. I heard that this time Recruitment, there are a lot of people, I have to watch closely, otherwise I won’t be able to find a good dormitory—let me tell you first, I will come to live with you for two days next month.”

Wei Liang: "..." Why are you still here?

Hearing Sister Wei coughing in the room, Wei Liang hurriedly said: "Meng Jingang, next time you come and stay in a hotel, our house is too small to fit in."

After speaking, he quickly closed the door.

Standing in the dark aisle in a daze, Meng Jingang recalled Wei Liang's words and realized that he had been completely rejected. He felt embarrassed and angry: How could Wei Liang do this?He shut himself out in the middle of the night, didn't get angry, and even politely stated in advance that he would come back next month, but he refused without mercy!It's too disrespectful, what kind of a good classmate?
Looking back, seeing that Meng Jingui was still thinking about heating someone else's coal stove, he couldn't help complaining angrily, it was all because of this unlucky guy who had nowhere to live.

Meng Jingui was even more angry, blaming Meng Jingang for his unreliable work, which caused him to walk long distances hungry and exhausted to death, but in the end he couldn't find a place to live or eat.

The two brothers quarreled and walked out of the dormitory area. In fact, they could still live in a hostel. The hostel was open late at night. Meng Jingui and Meng Jingang had some money, but neither of them was willing to take it out, so they went to the hospital in the end.

Early in the morning, Meng Tao came to the hospital with a large aluminum lunch box, and saw such a scene: Meng Jinniu had a lump in the quilt on the left side of the bed.

Meng Tao asked: "Who is this?"

Meng Jinniu: "Second brother, Meng Jingui."

Meng Tao stared: "How can you let him sleep here? Were you joking when you hurt your leg? Don't you think about it? Why didn't he leave last night?"

Meng Jinniu was helpless: "I left last night and came back in the middle of the night. Fortunately, Brother Zhang Fu went to call the doctor over, but he didn't dare to squeeze me. It was after the doctor's rounds in the morning that he really couldn't hold on and came up." Sleep for a while, I'm awake now, don't let him touch me."

Zhang Fu pointed to the door: "There is another one on the bench outside. I was really annoyed by them last night, and I didn't sleep well. I got up at five o'clock in the morning to go to the bathroom, and that Meng Jingang got into my quilt. I have no place to lie down, so I can only be careful to stay next to my dad to keep warm."

Meng Tao really has nothing to say.

Before the two of them woke up, they scooped out the steaming big bone porridge from the lunch box for Meng Jinniu to eat, and shared a bowl with Zhang Fu's father. This porridge was bought in a state-run restaurant. Good nutrition, in addition to the big bone porridge, there are six big fat buns filled with pork and cabbage in oil paper bags, Meng Jinniu and Zhang's father each have one, the rest is given to Zhang Fu, and Meng Tao himself is full at the restaurant just come here.

Zhang Fu didn't refuse, he brought porridge to his father, and he ate the steamed stuffed bun. His mother would also bring some when she came to change shifts during the day. Yesterday, he made chicken soup and shared it with Meng Jinniu. Families give each other food.
