Chapter 0018 Gruel, Steamed Buns, Pickles
On Saturday, Tang Sheng, who was sleeping lazily with a pillow, heard someone knocking on the glass of his southbound room.
Tang Sheng, who opened his eyes in a daze, his first reaction was to get up and open the curtains to see who was disturbing his sweet dream.
There was a pretty face on the glass, it was Tang Jin, she was lying close to take a look, but the curtain inside was suddenly raised, and then she saw a guy in small briefs kneeling in front of the windowsill, 'Ah', the beauty screamed and ran away.
Tang Sheng inside was completely frightened, uh, it was Tang Jin, why did he run away?
Looking down, oh, I see!
With a wry smile, Tang Sheng quickly dressed, folded the quilt, freshened up, and dressed up, well, the boy also had to dress up simply, about twenty minutes later, Tang Sheng came out, and in the courtyard, Old Man Tang was talking to the hospitalized Li Guoguo.
When they saw Tang Sheng, they all smiled at him, Li Guo was selling fruits, in order to support the family, he was an honest person who lived in the countryside and the city, his wife had a big belly and a thick waist, and at first glance she was the kind of simple peasant woman who could endure hardships.
"Brother Sheng, today is Saturday, why did you get up at seven o'clock? I don't usually see you get up so early in school. ”
Li Guo joked to Tang Sheng, since Tang Sheng smashed the big Mercedes-Benz, people of all ages in Old Tang Lane were willing to be close to him. Li Guoguo's wife pushed her husband, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and open a stall, you also ridiculed your brother?" ”
Tang Sheng was a little embarrassed to say this, and the old man Tang, who was standing under the eaves of the main house with a crutch, also looked at Tang Sheng with a kind smile, I don't know why, since Tang Sheng smashed his son's car, the old man looked at him very pleasantly.
Tang Sheng scratched his head and smiled at Li Guoguo, "Uncle Li, Aunt Li, don't laugh at me, okay?" ”
"How can it, brother, but the people in the alley are strange, you smashed his car so well, he didn't come to you?"
"Hey...... What's the use of him looking for me? My hundred pounds, it's not worth the price of a piece of glass in his car if I sell it......"
"Then you dare to smash his car?" Li Guoguo's wife said in a frightened voice.
"Aunt Li, I missed it, don't talk about it, I'll go out for a walk...... Old man, did you eat breakfast? ”
Old Man Tang smiled, "You go and slip your legs, I have already eaten, and the girl who knocked on your glass at the door, right?" ”
"Hey, you're really a god, I'll go out and have a look......"
Tang Sheng turned around and went out, leaving Old Man Tang and Li Guoguo shaking their heads and laughing, unable to see through this young man.
The narrow alley paved with hexagonal bricks is about six or seven meters wide, with a convex middle and concave sides, and the road surface is seriously deformed. There is a cement pole every 20 meters, it is still the kind of old pole with holes, people can climb up, the light on the pole in front of the compound the day before yesterday was not lit, or Tang Jin and her father climbed up to change the bulb to get it on.
When she came out, she saw Tang Jin sitting on the cement stone pier in front of her house with a small handkerchief...... You won't get out of bed when the sun hits your butt? No wonder it's ...... late."
Tang Jin is the kind of girl with a strong self-discipline surname, she has been sensible since she was sensible, and she is also extremely diligent, and she helps her mother do a lot of work at home in her spare time, including laundry and cooking, tutoring her younger brother to study, etc., it can be said that Tang Jin's childhood life is 'fulfilling'.
In Tang Sheng's memory, every bit of Tang Jin is hidden in his heart, and he will never forget it in a few lifetimes.
"Tang Jin, morning, by the way, have you had breakfast? I'm going to ......"
Tang Jin looked at this sunny and energetic big boy with a cold face, how could he not merge him with the image of the little demon king of the mixed world who was angry and furious that day, looking at his current appearance, he was still faintly shy, is this change too big?
Thinking of the ugly look he looked like lying on the glass before, Tang Jinqiao's face was a little red.
"It was my mother who asked me to call you, saying that I had something to discuss with you, and I would go to my house for breakfast by the way, otherwise I would ignore you."
"Aunt Li is so good? I was so impressed...... I don't know what Ning Meng told you yesterday, in fact, I'm a good person. After that, Tang Sheng went to Tang Jin and their small courtyard, Tang Jin pretended to pout his lips with disdain, and also got up and took her small handkerchief in.
The weather in September, the autumn is high and cool, the morning is a little cool, it is very refreshing, Tang Sheng's physique is very strong, wearing a T-shirt is enough to deal with, he is not used to covering his coat so early, but Tang Jin's T-shirt jacket is a small shoulder.
The courtyard of Tang Jin's house is half smaller than that of Old Man Tang, this yard is sitting in the south and facing north, and the main house is also like this, but there is a large window open in the south, which can receive sunlight, and the house is also very warm, with three upper rooms, the middle is the hall (living room), the east chamber is where Tang Old Man, the old lady and Tang Jin's younger brother Tang Wei live, the west chamber belongs to Tang Jin alone, and the east room is where Tang Jin's parents live.
“…… The house on the west side was vacated, but it was never rented out, it was too small, and it was a shady room, and no one rented it. ”
"I can't rent it for a few dollars, so don't toss...... Why hasn't Jin'er called her brother yet? ”
In the yard, Tang Jin's father Tang Wangping was squatting on the ground, eating breakfast around the small square table, a plate of pickles, a few steamed buns, a pot of gruel, a very simple breakfast, but looking at it makes people feel appetizing, Tang Jin and her mother Li Guizhen sat on the side, a middle-aged woman in her forties looks older than her actual age, and she can vaguely see her flower and moon appearance in the past, otherwise Tang Jin can be so beautiful?
Old man Tang was also sitting at the table, listening to his son and daughter-in-law's chatter, he didn't intervene, and then he looked up and saw Tang Sheng coming in, "Yo...... It's Brother Sheng'er, come and sit down and eat together, there is nothing delicious to entertain you at home, just gruel, steamed buns, and pickles. ”
Tang Wangping and Li Guizhen also hurriedly stood up, they didn't treat Tang Sheng as a child, smashing the car that day and saying something to Tang Yu made Tang Sheng completely change his image as a 'child' in the eyes of the adults in the old Tang Alley, and the child couldn't say that kind of thing.
"Brother Sheng, sit down, Auntie will scoop a bowl of gruel for you, it's good if you don't dislike it......"
Li Guizhen looked at Tang Sheng's gaze much kinder, he stood up for his family twice before and after, and he hadn't officially thanked others.
In Tang Sheng's eyes, Li Guizhen is his future mother-in-law, he stepped forward and smiled: "Aunt Li, you're welcome, Grandpa Tang, don't say that, porridge steamed buns with pickles, that's the most delicious breakfast, I want to eat it in my dreams......"
He was not polite at all, he sat down directly and picked up a steamed bun and ate it, and Tang Jin, who came over, almost smiled when he saw his food, but Tang Jin didn't dare to reveal anything in front of his parents, "...... Mom, I'm going to study in the house......"
Li Guizhen sighed, scooped up the porridge and handed it to Tang Sheng, rubbed her hands on the apron, and gave her husband a look.
Tang Wangping understood, drank the rest of the gruel in three or two, and got up and entered the east room...... At this time, the window of the west chamber of the upper room creaked, and it was Tang Jin who stood on the kang and supported half of the upper layer of paste, and Li Guizhen glanced back at her.
Tang Jin panicked in his heart, and smiled reluctantly at his mother, "...... The air is good in the morning, I, I'll put up the window and change the air......"
Li Guizhen glanced at her daughter prettyly, when did you stand through the window? Do you want to eavesdrop on Tang Sheng talking to us?
This subtle scene Old Man Tang and Tang Sheng both noticed, but no one spoke, Tang Sheng continued to eat his white steamed buns and pickles, Tang Wangping walked out in the east room, carrying the black plastic bag in his hand, and stuffed it to his wife Li Guixiang when he came over.
In the west chamber, Tang Jin secretly lay on the quilt at the end of the kang in the east and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the movements outside, and he didn't study at all.
Tang Sheng glanced at Li Guizhen, who took the black bag, and she also forced out a smile and sat down next to her.
"Brother...... You see, we haven't moved this money, it's a lot, we're not that kind of person, and we don't dare to ask for Tang Yu's 100,000 yuan, how did you get it and how to return it, you Wangping and Tang Yu can't talk, you see if it's your ......"
Old Man Tang and Tang Wangping also looked at Tang Sheng, Li Guizhen has always been in charge of family affairs, she is a shrewd woman.
Tang Sheng swallowed the last mouthful of steamed buns, drank the gruel in the bowl in three or two sips, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and glanced at the black money bag before looking at Li Guizhen, "...... Aunt Li, this money is for Grandma Tang Jin's medical treatment, I don't care what kind of person your family is, the old lady should be compensated if she is wronged, Tang Yu will not come to find trouble, how to use this money......"
"W-How can this work?" Tang Wangping answered.
"There's nothing wrong with that...... By the way, Uncle Wangping, I heard that you and Aunt Li used to be workers of 'Jiangya'? ”
Tang Wangping glanced at his wife, and then at Tang Sheng, he always felt that this child was like an adult, he sat with you and always asked about some adult things, but it was incompatible with the children, it seemed that it was impossible for him to return the money to Tang Yu.
"Hmm...... Jiangya was not good two years earlier, the quality of the gears produced was too poor, the reputation was all smashed, and we were laid off early! ”
Jiangya is a large state-owned enterprise that mainly produces all kinds of automobile gearboxes, but in the past two years, the situation has been extremely unpleasant, and the situation has deteriorated, and more than half of the five or six thousand workers have been laid off, and even then it seems that it cannot be sustained.
Tang Wangping used to be a truck driver for the transport team in Jiangya, and often went to other places to deliver goods.
Many of the Tang family members in this area of Old Tang Lane are Jiangya workers, and they are all the first batch to be laid off.
Tang Sheng's heart knows the future direction of 'Jiang Ya', and when he was in a desperate situation, 'Sinotruk' acquired 'Jiang Tooth', and now Tang Sheng asked Jiang Tooth about the situation, of course, he had ideas, but at this time, 'Jiang Tooth' was still a behemoth, and it was not something he could move at all.
The top priority at the moment is the demolition and resettlement of Lao Tang Lane, and if this matter is done, I will forget about it.
At this moment, the mobile phone in his trouser pocket vibrate, Tang Sheng took it out and saw that the caller ID was 'Ning Meng';
