"Isn't your grandmother sick and needs money?" Mao Yue asked. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The boy gritted his teeth and didn't speak.
Uncle Liu came over and patted the boy's head and said, "Erniu, don't be tough, it's important to treat your grandmother." ”
"However, even if that bastard is rich, he will gamble, and he will not treat grandma. And without a house, where will my grandma and I live? Erniu said sullenly after a long time.
Mao Yue touched his head and said, "It turns out that you are worried about this, don't worry, I will pay cash at that time, give you and your grandmother all the money, don't give it to him, and arrange a good place for you to live." ”
Erniu raised his head and looked at Mao Yue: "Are you serious?" ”
Mao Yue nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not give him the money." Tell me more about your grandmother's illness. ”
Erniu said: "Grandma always coughs constantly, and sometimes the blood coughed up comes out. ”
Uncle Liu added on the side: "His father is not a weapon, the family can't even afford to eat, and he doesn't have the money to go to the hospital." ”
Mao Yue thought for a while, handed the bag containing the fish to Er Niu again, and said, "Er Niu, you cook first." We'll talk when your grandma gets up. Let's go out and walk around first. ”
Zheng Si walked out with a cat's step first, looked carefully in the yard, and jumped on the fence to inspect the surrounding scenery. Mao Yue and Uncle Liu followed.
Uncle Liu looked at Zheng Si who was running around the wall, and praised: "Your cat is really not afraid of life, so fat, and quite flexible." ”
Mao Yue smiled and said, "Uncle, don't praise it, it's naughty, we will live here in the future, and we will rely on you to take care of it." ”
"Also, if it harms your fish, you have to remember the number and ask me for money when the time comes." Mao Yue thought about it and felt that this situation would definitely happen, so let's give the uncle a preventive shot first.
Uncle Liu smiled, waved his hand and said: "Impossible, impossible, my fish pond is three or four meters deep, and the pond weir is so high, it can't run down, don't worry." ”
Mao Yue said in his heart, no matter how deep your fish pond is, no matter how high it is, it can't stop it.
On the other side, Er Niu opened the bag, neatly sliced fish, salted it, and went to the outside of the door to pick a few fresh peppers. Then Erniu burned the fire, boiled the fish bones and fish head into a milky white fish soup, and added chili peppers to the fish fillets.
After more than ten minutes, the aroma of fish soup and vegetables filled the entire courtyard. Zheng Si's movement was the fastest, jumping directly from the courtyard wall, Mao Yue said to Uncle Liu: "Uncle, you can also eat with us here." ”
Uncle Liu waved his hand and said, "No, my family should be ready, I'll go home and eat, you can talk." ”
Mao Yue thought about it, the coming day was long, and he had to talk to Erniu and his grandmother about the house, so he didn't leave Uncle Liu, and then sent the uncle to the gate of the yard, and watched Uncle Liu walk into his yard before turning back.
At this time, Er Niu was holding a skinny old man who coughed from time to time came out of the main room and walked to the dining table at the kitchen door. Mao Yue hurriedly walked to the other side of the old man and followed to help.
As soon as he walked into the kitchen, Mao Yue saw Zheng Si sitting at the dining table, and his entire cat face was about to poke into the fish bowl.
"Zheng sigh!" Mao Yue roared.
Zheng Si heard it and immediately sat up straight, but still squatted in place and didn't move. Mao Yue blushed when he saw it, and Erniu looked at this scene and burst out laughing.
After helping the old man to sit down, Er Niu took three bowls and chopsticks, and scooped fish soup for everyone first. ”
Erniu glanced at Mao Yue suspiciously, but he still obediently took an extra bowl.
When he and the old man saw Mao Yue put another bowl in front of Zheng Si, and was still holding a spoon to scoop fish soup and fish fillets for Zheng Si, Erniu suddenly became anxious and directly blocked Mao Yue's spoon with chopsticks, "What are you doing?" ”
Mao Yue was stunned for a moment and said, "Scoop some soup and fish for it." ”
"You, you waste!" Erniu was anxious, and then said: "The cat can give it some fish bones, and you can return the fish." ”
When Zheng sighed and heard this, he was angry, turned his head to stare at Erniu, and roared in a low voice. Mao Yue hadn't heard Zheng Si scream for a long time, and he could clearly hear anger from that voice.
Mao Yue understood that the family was used to being poor, and people often didn't eat it, so naturally they wouldn't give the cat much to eat first. Mao Yue touched Zheng Si's head and said: "Erniu, cats are also creatures, they also need to eat better, you can rest assured, you can rest assured, if you don't have enough to eat, you will have something to eat in the future." ”
Then Mao Yue continued to serve soup to Zheng Si, and Erniu's chopsticks still hadn't been taken away, but Mao Yue obviously felt that there was not so much strength.
The old man persuaded beside him: "Erniu, don't be rude to the guests, let's eat." ”
The meal ended slowly with the old man's cough. After Zheng Si finished eating, he ran to the yard as soon as he smoked, and Mao Yue helped Erniu clean up the dishes and chopsticks before sitting at the table again.
At this time, it was even darker, and the room was so dim that no one could be seen, Mao Yue said: "Erniu, you turn on the light, I'll talk to your grandmother." ”
"No power!" Hearing this, Erniu replied sullenly.
"Huh? Why is there no electricity? Mao Yue really didn't expect that now there would be no electricity.
Before Erniu could speak, the old man spoke first: "Girl, the family has no money to pay the electricity bill, so the village committee cut off our electricity." ”
After saying such a short sentence, the old man couldn't stop coughing, coughing quickly and violently.
Mao Yue took out her mobile phone and turned on the flashlight behind her, so that she could see people clearly in the room. Then, she walked up to the old man and reached out to help him smooth his back.
"Erniu, do you know what your village is called?" Mao Yue asked.
Erniu nodded and said, "Of course I know, we are *** county *** village in Rongcheng." ”
Mao Yue took the mobile phone, crackled and typed some words on it, and then put the mobile phone back on the table as a table lamp.
"Old man, how big is your yard? Are there any real estate certificates and land use certificates? Mao Yue asked.
The old man thought for a while and said, "No, our house has been built for decades, and at that time there was no such thing." ”
Mao Yue took a 100-degree mobile phone, really, many old houses are not available, and the land certificates of rural houses are collective, and she can't buy them without a local rural hukou, she really took it for granted yesterday.
"So where is your family's household registration? How many people are in the household register? Mao Yue continued to ask.
The old man thought for a while and said, "Four, Erniu's mother moved her hukou here when she got married, but then he was angry with his father and ran away, and he didn't see him come back and move away." ”
