Chapter 116: Ding Chang is back
These days, Ding Hongxing noticed that Xu Xiaoman's mental state was much better, and he also quietly asked Lu Chaohui, and then learned the latest situation.
Xu Xiangyang may not be able to come out in a short time, his case is relatively strict, the relevant departments are reviewing him, and after a period of time to enter the judicial process, he will have to stay in prison for at least a few years.
Two days ago, one of Xu Xiaoman's uncles took Xu Xiaoman's mother to Jiangcheng and sent her to a psychiatric hospital, where she could finally be treated.
Xu Xiaoman now lives at his grandparents' house, and his life has finally stabilized. Although most of her family's property has been seized and frozen, her grandparents are retired cadres, and her retirement salary is enough for her to go to school.
Lu Chaohui is still worried about Xu Xiaoman, because her grandparents are all old, nearly eighty years old, how long can they take care of her? Xu Xiaoman still has an uncle and an aunt, but after Xu Xiangyang's accident, they were very cold to Xu Xiaoman, and they couldn't count on them when the time came.
When he said this, Lu Chaohui shook his head and sighed.
The only thing that is gratifying is that in this big disaster, Xu Xiaoman seems to be a refined jade, and he is completely like two people. Now she doesn't like to dress up as much as she used to, now she dresses very plainly, she doesn't use cosmetics, and she has become very polite, no longer so rude, maybe because Ding Hongxing and Tian Jun helped her this time, she is no longer so resistant to boys, of course, the people she can talk about are Ding Hongxing and a few of them, but this is already a huge progress.
Zheng Guisheng secretly said to Ding Hongxing, why did Xu Xiaoman seem to be a different person during this time, but it became much more pleasing to the eye than before.
Zheng Guisheng and they didn't know about the changes in Xu Xiaoman's family, Ding Hongxing and a few of them didn't spread the news indiscriminately, Ding Hongxing just told Tian Jun, and Tian Jun's eyes were full of pity every time he looked at Xu Xiaoman.
Ding Hongxing also secretly sighed, is it true that people can only grow up if they have experienced great suffering? I was like this in my previous life, and Xu Xiaoman is like this now, but is the price of such growth too great?
Chen Jianxin came back from the south, he seemed to be in high spirits, this time to the south, he ordered a batch of new entertainment facilities, including simulated shooting, simulated driving, dancing machines, basketball machines, claw machines, etc., game machines also bought a batch of the latest, these facilities will soon arrive, will be installed in the newly renovated game hall, at that time, this will be the most high-grade, the most popular game hall in Guicheng, Chen Jianxin is very sure of this.
During this time, Chang Zheng, Xiaolong, and Monkey were also very busy, and they were also busy decorating the new billiard hall, seeing that the billiard hall was becoming what they imagined day by day, Chang Zheng's face was smiling every day.
The decoration of the game hall and billiard hall will take some time, the two facades that Ding Hongxing bought are about to be renovated, Shen Fucai has great enthusiasm after he has something to do, he soaks here every day, eats casually, sometimes instant noodles, sometimes buy two steamed buns on the side of the road to deal with it, the faΓ§ade has now been freshly painted, and the shelves and everything are about to be done, according to him, their faΓ§ade can be opened at the end of the month.
Ding Hongxing was very busy during this time, he had to study himself, he had to take Kong Xiaodong to train, he had to tutor Wang Zhihua and Fang Xiuping, and he had to give Fan Xiaoqing a make-up lesson, he was really busy, so he could only go to the store once a week, but every time he went, he could always see some new changes in his faΓ§ade, which made him feel very gratified.
In late November, Ding Chang was finally demobilized and went home, this afternoon, after Ding Hongxing came home from school, he saw that there was no cooking at home, his parents were neatly dressed, and he looked like he was going out as a guest, he asked strangely: "Dad, Mom, where are you going to be a guest?" β
Ding Yuejin said with a smile: "Your brother Ding Chang is back, and now at your uncle's house, your uncle asked our family to go to his house for dinner in the afternoon." β
Ding Hongxing was surprised and delighted: "Brother Ding Chang is back?" That's great! β
Shen Shuzhen said: "We'll wait for you to come back and go together." β
Ding Hongxing asked, "What about Brother Fucai's dinner?" β
Shen Shuzhen said: "He usually comes back late now, so I left him a note and asked him to eat the noodles by himself." β
Ding Hongxing nodded, and went to his uncle's house with his parents.
After all, he hasn't seen Ding Chang for a long time, and he misses him a lot.
When he arrived at the uncle's house, knocked on the door and entered, Ding Hongxing saw a tall young man standing behind the door, of course he was Ding Hongxing's cousin Ding Chang.
Ding Chang was wearing a military uniform with the collar badge removed, and stood there with a simple smile and said to Ding Yuejin: "Hello second uncle!" β
Then he said to Shen Shuzhen: "Second aunt is good! β
Ding Yuejin and Shen Shuzhen agreed, Ding Yuejin stepped forward and patted Ding Chang's shoulder and said, "Good boy, he is taller than his second uncle!" β
Ding Chang touched his head and laughed.
Ding Hongxing smiled and shouted, "Brother Ding Chang is good! β
Ding Chang saw Ding Hongxing, and his eyes lit up: "This is Hongxing, right?" I haven't seen you for so long, and you've grown so tall, come, compare with me. β
Ding Hongxing stepped forward with a smile, and the two stood back to back, compared to their height, the result was that Ding Chang was a few centimeters taller.
Ding Yuejin said: "It's still higher than Ding Chang." β
Ding Chang affectionately patted Ding Hongxing's shoulder and said, "Good boy, you're really strong now!" You're only sixteen, aren't you? When I was still growing my body, in another year, I will definitely be taller than me. β
Ding Chang's intimate behavior suddenly diluted the strangeness that he and Ding Hongxing had not seen each other for a long time, and the two became cordial.
Waiting for Ding Yuejin and the others to sit down, Ding Chang took out a few bags of red dates, fungus, mushrooms and other things from a large travel bag, handed them to Shen Shuzhen and said, "Second aunt, this is a local product from the place where I was a soldier, take it home and taste it." β
Ding Chang took out another cigarette, handed two bottles of wine to Ding Yuejin and said, "Second uncle, this is the tobacco and wine from the place where I was a soldier, give you a new taste." β
Shen Shuzhen complained: "This kid doesn't know how to save, if he has money, he will save it for his daughter-in-law in the future, what are you buying these things for?" β
Ding Chang smiled and said: "Aunt, it's okay, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know where to earn my life now, what is it if I buy this little thing?" β
As soon as Ding Chang mentioned this, several people were silent, and Shen Shuzhen wiped her tears.
