Chapter 25: Home Cooking (2)
"Then I'll make a brave baby doll for Chengcheng!"
Su Yi thought that sugar and meat had to be bought, so Ming'er went to Uncle Lin to exchange sugar tickets and meat tickets. Now the cloth ticket in her hand is completely enough to buy cloth for Chengcheng to make dolls. "What color does Chengcheng like? Xiao Gong'an, you said that I made him blue, or army green, would he like it?"
"Comrade Xiao Su is very interested in Chengcheng. Xiao Yi held the rice in the "pig feeding pot" in his hand, and he had already eaten a small half, but he felt that he was only three or four points full. He glanced at Su Yi: Comrade Xiao Su also had a good grasp of the amount of food he ate. "You seem to like kids a lot?"
"Hmm. I love kids. Innocent, vibrant, soft and warm and cute, not to mention how cute. Especially Chengcheng, who is sensible and well-behaved and smart, is the most likable. ”
"You're very discerning. Our city is indeed very pleasant. Xiao Gongan said: I am so proud! My nephew is the cutest in the world, who doesn't like it?
Su Yi glanced at him and said in his heart: Not really. You're far worse than the city. The annoying kung fu is top-notch.
"Xiao Gong'an, why was Chengcheng abducted, and his parents didn't show up?"
"My second brother and sister-in-law were one and a half years old in Chengcheng when they were in an accident and passed away. ”
Xiao Yi's face made Su Yi feel very upset, "I'm sorry." I shouldn't have just asked. ”
"It's nothing, it's all in the past. Xiao Yi suddenly lost interest in talking, and buried himself in eating.
Although Su Yi was very curious in his heart, he didn't dare to ask again.
The two of them had good appetites, and the food cooked by Su Yi to the canteen master was really good, so they ate it all. That big bowl of cabbage tofu meatball soup, even the soup was drunk by them.
After drinking the hot soup, Xiao Yi's mood warmed up, he took out a pack of cigarettes and asked Su Yi, "Do you mind if I smoke one?"
Su Yi shook his head: "Please." "Why are Chengcheng's parents gone? Now Chengcheng lives with Xiao Yi and his grandfather, why haven't they ever heard them mention Chengcheng's foreign family? Su Yi is going to die of curiosity.
Xiao Yi moved the chair to the wall and sat sideways with Su Yi, so as not to spray the smoke on her face, he saw Su Yi looking at him from time to time, looking like he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, his eyes turned playfully and flexibly, like a little squirrel who just wanted to reach the pine cone on the tip of the branch and was afraid of falling off the tree.
Xiao Yi spit out a puff of cigarette, cocked Erlang's legs, leaned his back against the wall, looked at the corner of the wall, and slowly told Su Yi about his family and Chengcheng's parents.
After graduating from the Public Security University that year, Xiao Yi obeyed the organization and was assigned to the Zhanjiang Public Security Bureau. His sister Xiao Meilan graduated from the teacher college in her early years, was assigned to teach at the second primary school in Zhanjiang City, and later married a local textile factory worker and settled in Zhanjiang City.
The year before last, Xiao's father applied for retirement from the organization, retired from the provincial party committee, and bought a small courtyard house in Zhanjiang City with his pension and early salary, and lived with his son and grandson.
Chengcheng's parents, Xiao Yi's second brother Xiao Zhong and second sister-in-law Song Li, were workers in a coal mine on the outskirts of the provincial capital.
At that time, the coal mine lost a sum of money to the Xiao family and the Song family.
Because Xiao Zhong's level is higher than Song Li's, he lost more money to the Xiao family. Chengcheng's grandparents were red-eyed when they saw Qian, saying that Chengcheng is still young, and there are no parents, and the Xiao family is busy with work one by one, and they don't have time to take care of their children, so they can help take care of Chengcheng. But Chengcheng is the Xiao family, and if they want to help bring it, they must give money. Old man Song and Mrs. Song opened their mouths and said that they had to give at least thirty yuan a month.
Of course, Xiao Yi and Xiao's father disagreed, how could they dare to give the city to the family of someone who had no kindness to him and always beat and scolded him at every turn? They would rather pay someone else to take care of the city.
Old man Song and Mrs. Song are very patriarchal, and they have always treated Song Li badly, even if Song Li got married, they forced her to pay her salary to her parents' family, otherwise they would not recognize her as a daughter.
After Song Li got married, with the support of her husband's family, her courage doubled, she had long been fed up with exploitation, and she directly tore her face with her parents, and no longer gave her parents a penny. said that she had given enough before, enough to repay her parents' kindness. In the future, her money will be used to support her family and children.
How could the "vampire" old man Song and Mrs. Song allow it? Do they still expect their daughter to give money to support the family?
Song Li didn't give money, so they went to the coal mine to make trouble, forcing the leaders to give Song Li's salary directly to them. At that time, things were ugly, Song Li was almost expelled, and finally had to promise to give her parents twenty yuan a month. And her salary is less than forty yuan a month.
At that time, the coal mine first went to Xiao's house to lose money. As early as when Song Li married Xiao Zhong, she moved her household registration to Xiao's house. She is gone, and the coal mine wants to compensate, so naturally it will pay the big head to the Xiao family and the small head to the Song family. The main thing is that who Old Man Song and Mrs. Song are, and the people in the entire coal mine know it. Besides, they are not very old, and they have two sons to support, but Chengcheng has no parents at a young age, and he will need more money in the future.
But Song's family felt that such compensation was unfair, so they first went to the coal mine to make a fuss, and threatened the leaders of the factory that if they did not give Song Li's death compensation to their family, they would go to the court to sue them. The legal counsel in the factory gave the Song family a lesson on law popularization on the spot, saying that they compensated like this, and there was no legal problem at all, and if the Song family brought people to the factory to make trouble, they would call the police to arrest them.
The Song family is bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, so they can't help the coal mine, so they go to Xiao's house every now and then to make a big fuss. Their thinking was very simple: Why did the Xiao family take the money from the life of their Song family's daughter? At this time, the Song family was united in their hearts and minds, and regarded Song Li as their own family.
Xiao Yi and Xiao's father were not the ones who cared about the money, so they let them get all the death compensation from Song Li, and they should spend money to buy a quiet place.
But those people never knew how to be satisfied, and they even wanted to use the excuse of raising Chengcheng to ask Xiao Zhong to give Chengcheng a little money in exchange for his life.
This made Xiao Yi and Xiao's father furious, and they completely broke off relations with the Song family. Whenever the Song family broke into Xiao's house and sprinkled, they let the dogs bite them and beat them with big sticks. To deal with unreasonable people, you have to use extraordinary methods. After suffering a few losses and having nowhere to reason, the Song family stayed away from the Xiao family with each other.
"The reason why my dad brought Chengcheng to live with me in Zhanjiang City is to reunite the family, and secondly, to avoid the disgusting people of the Song family. After Xiao Yi's story was told, he smoked half of a pack of cigarettes, and the room was not ventilated, and it was full of smoke. He generally doesn't use disgusting to describe people, but the Song family is too excessive, too unconscionable, and only has money in his eyes, which is shameful.
When Su Yi listened to the story with all his heart before, he didn't feel much. At this time, after listening to the story, I came back to my senses and found that I was choking in the house. She coughed twice, put away the dishes and chopsticks and put them back in the basket, "Xiao Gong'an, it's getting late, I don't know where you will rest in a while?"
"The guest house next to the Public Security Bureau. ”
