Reborn 80s

Chapter 196 That's OK, Then You Stay

Xu Chengying was a bit unwilling to eat the potato and cabbage soup in the bowl. It really didn't taste at all, and if there was a bit of salt, I couldn't eat anything. Xu Chengying raised his head and glanced around. Bitterly eating the vegetable soup and rice in the bowl in front of him.It seems to be the most delicious delicacy in the world.

The corners of Chen Shuang's mouth raised slightly, and he said softly, "Isn't this food delicious?"

Embarrassed, Xu Chengying quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, and quickly denied, "No, it's quite delicious."

Chen Shuang smiled, did not expose Xu Chengying's lies, but squinted his eyes and glanced at the people who were eating around him, "You can see it too, here I am, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, it really takes a lot of energy I can take good care of these people, but I believe you have seen how poor we are today. If you want to stay, I have no objection, but I have to tell you that I don’t raise idlers here, or you will have to leave. understand?"

Xu Chengying looked at Chen Shuang with mixed emotions in his heart, and after a long time, he nodded lightly, "Okay, I will stay here and never be an idler."

After finishing speaking, he quickly finished the rice in the bowl, stood up and prepared to clean up the table, unexpectedly, whether these children or the old lady, they would quickly finish their meal and consciously walk to the table one by one. Next to the sink, they are well washed and neatly stacked.

Chen Shuang looked at Xu Chengying's shocked expression, and smiled indifferently, "Didn't I tell you that I don't support idlers here?"

For the next month or so, Xu Chengying followed Brother Hua, bustling in and out of the yard, moving the disabled elderly people out of the house in the morning, and then hurriedly followed Brother Hua to the vegetable market to snap up those who hadn't. Bad-looking Chinese cabbage that people want.

Then prepare meals for dozens of people. Although they are basically three kinds of potatoes, cabbage, and cabbage, they are also the rations for so many people, and it takes a full one or two hours to prepare.

In the afternoon, Xu Chengying followed Chen Shuang, went out to work and raise donations, tried his best to get money, and bought some necessities for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled along the way.

There is no chance to breathe for a day, almost like a perpetual machine, turning every minute and every second.

However, Xu Chengying felt that he had never been so fulfilled. Earlier, because he didn't know what kind of path to take and what kind of life to live, the emptiness and confusion caused by these old people and children bit by bit in this small yard The point miraculously filled up.

Aunt He smiled and said to Xu Chengying, "Little Xu is really sincere. If I have a grandson, he will probably be as old as you. It's really painful to look at."

Even Xiao Lizi, who ran away when he first saw Xu Chengying, now wraps around his legs and asks him to play with him.Xu Chengying later found out that Xiao Lizi was actually a mute. After he was about three years old, his family members found out that he could not speak, so they drove all the way out in a car, left him at the gate of the yard, and was picked up by Chen Shuang.

Everyone here seems to have an unhappy past, some were abandoned by their children, some were physically disabled and their wives ran away secretly, but these people were picked up one by one because of Chen Shuang, and they lived together, cuddling each other for warmth , thus forming a new family.

It wasn't until later that Xu Chengying learned that this big family had a very simple and appropriate name called "a big tree". Just like its name, it was deeply rooted in the soil and grew dense trunks. Bless these poor and suffering people in their lives.

It was probably at this time that Xu Chengying felt that the existence of "a big tree" was like a seed, which fell in his heart, slowly took root and sprouted, and vaguely made him understand that he was going to change. what kind of person to be.

Xu Chengying has probably passed this full, happy and hard day for about a month. The summer vacation is not over yet, and Mayor Xu finally found his son.

Ever since Xu Chengying ran away from home, the Xu family was in a mess. Mrs. Xu shed tears at home every day. Mayor Xu almost exhausted his contacts and connections to dig deep to find his son.

But Xu Chengying didn't take the train or bus, so he walked to the town in the west of the city overnight, and couldn't find any witnesses. Even the mayor Xu searched the whole city, Xu Chengying Disappeared like water vapor.

The anxious and angry Mrs. Xu suddenly fell ill. The despondent Mayor Xu distributed photos of his son everywhere and searched everywhere. Then he heard that someone seemed to have seen Xu Chengying in the vegetable market in the west of the city.

Based on this inaccurate information, Mayor Xu really went to the west of the city to find Xu Chengying.

When Mayor Xu stood in front of the yard and looked at the apron-worn kids playing in the yard with a group of handicapped kids, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Seeing her father, Xu Chengying's first reaction was to quickly close the gate and run into the yard. After tossing for a while, Chen Shuang thought that Xu Chengying had provoked some local hooligans to come to her house, and was about to tear down her yard. up.

When Chen Shuang figured out what happened, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't shocked.When she saw Xu Chengying earlier, she probably guessed that this child should be a person who grew up in a relatively affluent environment with no worries about food and clothing since childhood, otherwise she would not have such innocent eyes .

But Xu Chengying was indeed beyond her imagination. She originally thought that a little boy who had never tasted the sufferings of the world, after being tortured here for a few days, retreated and went home obediently.

Unexpectedly, Xu Chengying gritted his teeth and did all the tasks entrusted to him during these times, and he did it in a decent manner. We have established an emotional connection with each other, and everyone said "our little Xu", as if the child himself was a member of the yard.

So when Chen Shuang knew that Xu Chengying was the son of the vice mayor's family, she was really shocked. After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded in agreement.

Xu Chengying locked herself in the room when she knew his father was coming, and never opened the door until Chen Shuang went to knock on the door. Xu Chengying moved the door a crack and let Chen Shuang in.
