Chapter 310: Old Man Shen's Placement
Chapter 310 "Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation" Old Man Shen's placement
Thinking that the old couple Shen had something to ask for themselves, and it was something he could do, and it happened that there was nothing to do now. So Chen Long didn't hesitate, hung up the phone and set off to rush out......
Shen Songyang's old couple were the first good people Chen Long met when he encountered difficulties in the provincial capital. It was also the old couple who kindly took him in and helped him get through that difficult time, so that Chen Long settled in this provincial city. So Long Chen has never forgotten this old couple.
It took nearly an hour and two buses to get Chen Long to Old Man Shen's waste recycling shed.
Everything is still the same, but the empty space outside the shed is full of waste products that have not had time to be sorted and cleaned up. The old couple is busy unloading the scrap that the tricycle has just pulled back. Seeing Chen Long coming, he immediately stopped his work and greeted him warmly:
"Long Chen, it's good to see you. Why have you lost weight?"
"Uncle Shen, Aunt Lu, I miss you too, I'll help unload the car......"
Chen Long responded with a smile, and hurriedly walked up to help unload things.
After all, it was a young man with great strength and fast hands and feet, and after Chen Long's timely arrival and quick action helped to move and unload, a large cart of waste products was removed from the car in a while.
Chen Long spent nearly two hours with the old couple to help sort and put a large pile of waste products on the site before he and Old Man Shen went to build the collapsed part of the wooden shed.
Chen Long climbed to the roof of the shed, and Old Man Shen helped hand over the things used for repairs below, and the two cooperated, and it took another half a day to finally rebuild the shed.
It was already evening, and Mrs. Lu had already prepared a sumptuous dinner and set the table full for them to eat.
Chen Long washed his hands from the kitchen, and before he sat down at the table, he saw Lu Tingting hurriedly walk in.
Lu Tingting was even more surprised to see Chen Long here, and immediately called him outside the shed and asked, "Why are you here?" I have been calling your mobile phone for the past week, why do you keep turning it off?"
Chen Long didn't answer her question, but also asked her in surprise: "I was about to ask you too, why did you come here?"
"Today is my aunt's 70th birthday, of course I want to come to celebrate her birthday!" After Lu Tingting answered him, she asked, "Tell me, where have you been during the week, why have you kept your phone off? Are you avoiding me? Or has something unspeakable happened?"
Chen Long lied to her and said, "I went back to my hometown for a week." ”
"Ah, how long will it take you to go back to your hometown for a week?" Lu Tingting was so surprised that she couldn't believe it, "Why do you have to go back for so many days a week, is something happening at home?" You're not lying to me, you don't need to turn off your phone!"
"My mother is seriously ill and hospitalized, and I want to go back to take care of her!" Chen Long explained to her, "I have been in a bad mood and annoyed to death, so I have been turning off my mobile phone, and I don't want anyone to disturb me." Believe it or not, pull down. ”
After hearing this, Lu Tingting nodded to him and said, "Okay, I believe in you." But if you have a big move in the future, you have to go out or something, it's better to call me and let me know, let alone turn off your mobile phone or don't answer my call. You know, I'm concerned and worried about you!"
Chen Long felt numb when he heard her words, thinking that you were self-inflicted, superfluous and worried about me, but he didn't want to say anything to him, so he urged her: "Let's not talk about it for now, let's go in and have dinner with your aunt and uncle." ”
After Long Chen finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the shed. And Lu Tingting followed closely behind him and continued to ask him: "Why did you come here too? Did my uncle call you and ask you to come?"
"You're right, exactly. Chen Longtou replied without replying.
So, the two of them went into the kitchen of the shed and began to have dinner with the old couple.
The two wives have never had the habit of celebrating birthdays, let alone inviting anyone to eat and drink to celebrate. Every year, when I remember, it's just that the old couple can make two more good dishes and celebrate them privately. Today is the old man Shen who wants to use the name of his wife's birthday to ask Chen Long to help build the shantytown. I also want to meet his two children and feel the joy of family fun. And Chen Long couldn't bring the child here, which made the two elders a little disappointed.
At the request of Old Man Shen, with a table full of hot meals, Long Chen accompanied him to raise a glass and drink white rice wine. Regarding the bad things he had encountered recently, Long Chen didn't reveal anything to them, but more to say good things to Mrs. Lu, making her too happy.
In fact, Chen Long is still quite depressed in his heart, mainly because he has now been notified by the landlord to move out of his current house within two days. The second is that there is no job, no income to live on, and the key is that now I am almost penniless...... In this case, it will be a great challenge for his survival!
After more than half an hour, after eating, Old Man Shen seemed to see the discomfort in Chen Long's heart and the hardships he was facing, so he called him to a secluded place outside and asked him:
"Long Chen, I saw a ...... with a deep mood Are you having any trouble now? Can you tell me? I see if I can help you......"
was called out by Old Man Shen and asked about this, and Long Chen couldn't hide it from him anymore, so he had to answer him bluntly: "Uncle Shen, thank you for your concern for me." I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm really having trouble now......"
"Oh, is there no job, or no place to live?" asked Old Man Shen in surprise.
Yes, there is no job, and the landlord will not let me rent the house I rent, so I must move out within two days......
"Oh my God, what's the situation? Is something bad happening?" Old man Shen was even more surprised.
Chen Long didn't dare to tell him more of the truth, so he replied vaguely, "Well, something bad happened...... It's hard to put into words. I'm sorry Uncle Shen, I can't tell you for a while, I'll tell you more about it when it's convenient in the future. ”
Old man Shen was unhappy: "Long Chen, don't be embarrassed to say anything to Uncle Shen. Tell me, what's going on?"
Chen Long hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's because my mother is seriously ill, and my work is not going well......
"Yes, how old is your mother, what kind of illness does she have, is she seriously ill?" asked Shen Lao with a headache.
Long Chen sighed and replied, "Alas...... My mom wasn't very old, not yet seventy. However, it has been more than a year since I was paralyzed last year. When I came to the provincial capital, I left her at home and let my eldest sister take care of her. Due to long-term paralysis and sitting, her condition worsened last week and she was sent to the county people's hospital for treatment, and I took my child back to visit her......"
"Oh, is it getting better now?"
Chen Long replied, "I was hospitalized in our county people's hospital for a few days, and my condition has been relieved. Now I'm being sent home again, and I'm being taken care of by my eldest sister. ”
Old man Shen comforted: "Well, people will get sick like this when they get old. But young people also have to go out to work to earn money to support their families. Then you only have to find more time to go back to visit her, and you have to call her often to greet her and comfort her. ”
Chen Long nodded and sighed and blamed himself: "Well, I can only do this." Man, once you are paralyzed, it is very difficult to heal. Tortured by the pain of the long period, but we as children are not of much help...... It's a pity that my mother has worked hard all her life and hasn't enjoyed a day of comfort and happiness, and I, the eldest son, am really a failure!"
Old man Shen said with emotion: "Long Chen, you don't have to blame yourself! Life is bumpy and uneven, no matter whether rich or poor, everyone's fate is full of hardships and how much torture they have to endure, not to mention our ordinary old Mo surname! Maybe God has already arranged and doomed our fate." So more often than not, we're just left to fate!"
After hearing this, Long Chen agreed: "Yes, I don't dare to think about it now, everything is left to fate." ”
Old man Shen asked him, "Long Chen, or ...... You can move in with me with your children. ”
"How is that possible with the kids? You have so many things here......
Old man Shen continued: "A lot of things doesn't affect the accommodation, as long as you don't dislike the dirty here...... I think there is still some spare space next to the shed where I live? I can work with you to build another house out of wood planks to accommodate you and your children. ”
"That's ...... Okay?" Chen Long doubted.
"What's not to do?" the old man Shen explained, "I've picked up a lot of wood and planks to build the shed." Build a small house, a day or two will do. This way, you don't have to spend money on renting a house. And, I want to arrange for you that until you find a better job, you can go with me or by yourself to pick up the scrap. After all, you've done it before, and you know how to collect it. Although you can't make a fortune or make a lot of money by picking up waste, it's still a job...... If your two children are here, my wife and I can take them with you. ”
Chen Long was very embarrassed and said, "Uncle Shen, how dare I let the two of you take care of the children? If I bring the children to live in, it may seriously disturb your normal life and collect the old ones......
Old man Shen immediately smiled and said, "That's not a problem! If we can have a child live with us here, that's what we can't wait for! In that case, we can tease the child every day, I don't know how happy we are!"
"This ...... Of course, it's a good thing that you can be happy, but ......" Chen Long still felt that it was inappropriate and hesitated.
Old man Shen finally dispelled his hesitation and asked: "Okay, just follow my arrangement, you don't disagree anymore! You will come over early tomorrow morning, let's build the wooden shed together, and then you can arrange for the children to come and live together." ”
Unexpectedly, Old Man Shen came up with a solution to the problem of accommodation and work one step ahead of him, which made Chen Long very grateful. As he said, although the place where he lives is not very good, and although he does not make a lot of money by collecting waste, it can at least explain the problems he is currently facing.
In the end, Long Chen agreed, and thanked Old Man Shen very much. I thought to myself, maybe he would have to stay here for a while, waiting for his fate to change in the future......
