Chapter 4 Who wouldn't pretend to be pitiful?
Isn't this the second boy of the Lao Mai family?
Is this coming back from the country?
Tut-tut, look at what this kid has become, Lao Mai's family is not authentic.
How old was it when he sent Mai Fan away?
Teenagers, right?
In order to let the eldest son, who will soon be able to take over, enter the factory, their family let a doll who is still studying go to the countryside.
Hey, it's a pity to look at this kid's sweet mouth and politeness.
The old aunt who was called her sister by Mai Fan suddenly remembered Mai Fan's simple and shy appearance many years ago.
The big guys' hearts softened, and their attitudes became enthusiastic.
"It turned out to be Mai Fan! I haven't seen him for so many years, and I've grown into a big boy!"
"Look at this guy, hey, hey, that's tall!"
"Are you going home? Hurry up! I saw it just now, your mother and your sister-in-law are here!!"
The attitude of the neighbors became enthusiastic, but the smile on Mai Fan's face gradually disappeared.
He tried his best to maintain his existing expression, and stammered, "It turns out that they are all here......"
"I thought, I thought they didn't come to pick me up today...... I, I wrote to them before I came back. ”
"Excuse me...... It's good that everyone in the family is here, it's good if they're all there. I'm also worried that they haven't come back for so long, if they don't ......"
As soon as Mai Fan said this, the surrounding neighborhood fell silent.
Is it so pathetic? Don't even pick up the child when he comes home?
The aunt who was called my sister next to her felt uncomfortable, so she stuffed the freshly cooked corn cob in her hand into Mai Fan's hand.
"It's okay, maybe the family is too busy and busy preparing to pick you up. Remember the day you came back. ”
"Don't patronize here and pestle, why don't you hurry home and report to your family?"
Because of this kindness, a smile appeared on Mai Fan's face again, and he thanked the neighbors who cared about him, and rushed to the direction of home with his luggage.
Mai Fan's home in this world, at the end of the alley.
It is a large and inconspicuous compound with three families living in one courtyard.
There are four or five people in each house, and they are crowded one after another, making this courtyard look particularly lively.
"I'm Mai Fan, I'm back!"
McFan's push of the door silenced the entire courtyard.
Mama Mai was a little excited and walked out of the kitchen in response.
When she trembled her lips and wanted to say something to Mai Fan, a mean-looking woman surpassed Mai Fan's mother and greeted Mai Fan.
"Oh, this is my second brother, right? I'm your sister-in-law. ”
"Are you back? Look at my memory, I only received your letter two days ago, I thought it was still early, and I didn't worry, so I forgot to tell my parents. ”
"His second brother, you won't bother with your sister-in-law about this, right?"
Mai Fan smiled, ignoring his sister-in-law, but his eyes kept staring at Mai Fan's mother, and asked, "Mom, I'm back, is there a place to put luggage at home?"
"In the last few days, I'm afraid I'm going to have to stay at home. ”
"This ...... This ......" Mai Fan's mother showed a difficult expression, she secretly glanced at the daughter-in-law beside her from the corner of her eye, as if she had made up her mind, and said to Mai Fan: "Yes, there are still places, Erfan, you, you come with me." ”
After speaking, he pulled Mai Fan's bag and led people to the east room where they lived.
Mai Fan's home is not big, counting the entrance hall outside, there are only three rooms in total.
But these three rooms are lived by six people, and now that Mai Fan has suddenly returned, the family has become seven.
He followed Mai's mother into the house, and his brows immediately furrowed.
"Mai Fan, you see that you came back suddenly, and now you are making do in the foyer?"
Mai Fan stared at the camp bed beneath his feet, which had been placed behind the door early and had some miscellaneous items piled up on it.
Is this called back suddenly?
I'm afraid this has been planned for a long time, and the whole family has already discussed, where is he going to live, right?
He's a villain, can he stand such a wretch?
Mai Fan smiled, still very considerate of his family's kind of laughter.
He didn't even put down his backpack and said to his mother, "Mom, do you think our family can still have a place to stay?"
"I thought about it before I came back, and I would never cause trouble to my family when I came back. ”
"I have a place to live, and in our Jingbei City, there are many people who go to the countryside with me. ”
"These days, I will go to live in my hometown's house, and when I find a job, I will go home and report my safety. ”
"But Mom, I'm going to settle down recently, and I'm looking for a job, so it's ...... for breakfast, lunch and dinner."
Hearing that Mai Fan took the initiative to ask not to live at home, whether it was Mai's mother or his sister-in-law, there was a relieved expression on their faces.
Hearing Mai Fan's request to retreat again, even if he explicitly asked for money, there was not much resistance.
Mai Fan's mother hurriedly took out a handful of change from her pocket, gritted her teeth, and gave the one with the largest denomination to Mai Fan: "Oh, this, this should be your food money for a month, and it is always enough for a month, right?"
Mai Fan took the ten yuan and nodded affirmatively: "Enough." ”
Then he shook the bag in his hand: "Mom, it's not too early, I won't eat at home, I'll go to the villager's house to clean up first." ”
"I'll talk about it when I come back tomorrow at noon. ”
After speaking, he didn't give his mother and sister-in-law a chance to react, strode out of the threshold with his luggage, and went straight out of the courtyard under the gaze of the neighbors in the courtyard.
"Hey!"
Mai's mother didn't hold anyone, she still had a lot to ask Mai Fan, but the neighbor who was in the same courtyard as their family pulled her back.
"Lao Mai's family? Is there someone in your house? That's your second child, right? Why don't you live at home?
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Mai's mother hurriedly returned loudly: "He dislikes crowding at home, so he went outside to find a fellow villager who had cut in line together to live." ”
"Oh......"
Whether the neighbors in the compound believed it or not, Mai Fan didn't know.
All he knew was that when he came back, the neighbors he had said hello to hadn't come home yet.
They were amazed to see that Mai Fan had returned to their house in no more than five minutes, and they enthusiastically came over.
"Mai Fan, your mother didn't go out today. ”
"Yes, and your sister-in-law, too. ”
Mai Fan, who was surrounded by the neighborhood, showed an unspeakable expression: "My mother, my sister-in-law...... They're all there. ”
"Our family is in trouble...... There is no place to live...... I, I can't cause trouble for my family because I'm alone. ”
"Uncle, sister, aunt, where is our street office? ”
"I want to figure it out on my own. Anyway, I went through the formalities first. ”
Tut-tut, Mai Fan's few words made the neighbors immediately understand his current situation.
Poor thing!
