Hearing his mother say this, the vigilance in Cao Rui's eyes disappeared, and he immediately shouted at Chu Peng and Yueji: "Hello brother and sister." It can be seen that although their family is poor, the education is still very good, and the minimum etiquette has not been forgotten at all, Chu Peng couldn't help but nodded.

This really made Chu Peng admire, it seems that his mother is indeed a good mother, although his family is poor, but looking at it like this, he can feel that Cao Rui has not taken the wrong path, and has always been an upright person.

Next, now that he knew that Chu Peng and the others were not bad people, Cao Rui could also let go and chatted with Chu Peng, from which Chu Peng also learned about his situation at this time, although he had not gone to school, but through self-study, he had reached the level of the first year of high school, and even Chu Peng felt that his water quality was much better than that of the average high school student.

From here, it can be seen that he is a very diligent and studious child, and I can't help but have a better impression of him.

The time was close to noon, Chu Peng and Yueji came out, they originally wanted to have lunch, but they were delayed because of saving Zhang Mei, and now they are sending her back, and the time and phone bill are even more, and now they are a little hungry.

As if she noticed the strangeness of Chu Peng Yueji, Zhang Mei immediately got up, after such a long rest, she had recovered most of her physical strength, smiled apologetically at Chu Peng and the two, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, the distinguished guest is here." We didn't entertain well, you haven't eaten at noon, and it's not too early now, so let's stay for a light meal. ”

And Chu Peng thought that her family situation was already so good, and she didn't want to disturb others anymore, after all, it would cost a lot of money to invite herself to dinner, and for such a family, every expenditure could only be spent after careful consideration.

So he immediately excused himself: "Aunt Zhang." No need. We have to go back now, so you can get busy with it yourself, but we're bothering you. And Tsukihime on the side was also helping at this time: "Yes, we're leaving soon." You should have a good rest first. ”

But. Zhang Mei saw Chu Peng and Yueji taking their appearances here. At that moment, his face fell, and he said in a deep voice: "Chu Peng, you are my savior." I don't have anything to repay you, it's okay to stay and have a meal at the border. ”

Hearing Zhang Mei say this, Chu Peng was embarrassed to refuse, otherwise it would be too hypocritical, and after hesitating for a long time, Chu Peng and Yueji glanced at each other, nodded slowly, and said in unison: "Then I'll disturb this time, but just eat some home-cooked food, don't be too polite." ”

Hearing that Chu Pengken was staying, Zhang Mei's face showed a smile and said to the two: "Then you wait a while, it'll be fine right away." "After that, I went to stir-fry.

And the place for stir-frying, that is, in a simple shed, there is a dilapidated briquette stove in it, which is all a kitchen, which shows that they are indeed living a hard life, which makes Chu Peng sigh that this world with a bright appearance actually hides countless sorrows behind the scenes. I don't have the ability to help everyone, but when I see someone, I'd better help.

And when he heard that his mother was going to stir-fry, Cao Rui, who was pouring water on the side, immediately relieved that he was at ease with the tea bottle, skillfully washing vegetables and picking vegetables, that action was not something that could be exercised overnight, which reminded Chu Peng that "the children of the poor are in charge early." ”

At the same time, I also contacted myself back then, not because my parents were working outside, I cooked and stir-fried by myself when I got to the meal, and I guided my parents to come back and eat together, and now, it is simply a vivid portrayal of Chu Peng's back then.

The dish is very ordinary, that is, the so-called home-cooked food, there is no meat dish, but Chu Peng can even be sure that even if it is such a simple dish, it is extremely difficult to talk about such a family, because Chu Peng saw a scene of envy in Cao Rui's eyes, but there was no other small action.

This scene shocked Chu Peng, yes, it was indeed shocked, and that touch of envy touched him a lot. This dish is very ordinary for Chu Peng, Chinese cabbage, small green vegetables plus a tomato and egg soup, and even the taste is not so good, but for this family, it is already a very rich meal.

Come to think of it, in the past, they fried at most one dish, but today it was also because Chu Pengyueji was here, making an exception. Because, when Chu Peng's eyes swept over the corner of his eyes, in that very simple "kitchen", he swept pickles and tofu.

These two dishes can be said to be not nutritious at all, but they are very helpful for cooking, not to mention that these two dishes are very cheap, so they are very popular, and these two dishes in Zhang Mei's family have obviously eaten most of them.

"I'm sorry, it's not good, you'll just do it." Zhang Mei is very sorry for the dishes she took out at home, but this is already all the dishes at home, as for meat, there are things in it, except for three festivals in a year, their family will never appear.

After all, Zhang Mei's monthly salary of 1,000 yuan is enough for two people to live, and in the big city of Yanjing, it is not enough to spend at all, and even the clothes on the two of them have been sewn and sewn.

"It's okay, I've eaten things in western Zhejiang before, so I can get used to it." Regarding Zhang Mei's apology, Chu Peng said that he understood very much, after all, his family had a hard life for a while, and that one even ate pickles and nibbled steamed buns every day, which was more than Zhang Mei's hardships at the moment.

And at this moment, Yueji, who was beside Chu Peng, also smiled softly on her face: "It's okay, Aunt Zhang, we have nothing to do with this dish, but I let you break the bank, I'm really embarrassed." ”

At this point, Yue Ji's performance was surprised again, Chu Peng didn't expect that Yue Ji, who seemed to have a good family background, could stand it, and, looking at her face, there was absolutely no abnormality, just rushing to this, Chu Peng's impression of him was also much better.

"Thank you then, by the way, hurry up and eat, it'll be cold later." Zhang Mei was very happy about the understanding of Chu Peng Yueji and hurriedly urged.

Soon, several people were eating around a low table, and when Chu Peng took the first bite, his heart was greatly touched, because he was late for his mother's taste, and then, glanced at Zhang Mei.

I saw that she was staring at her son Cao Rui with a loving face, with a loving look in her eyes, occasionally putting a little food in his bowl, while Cao Rui was holding the rice bowl, without speaking, eating quickly.

This scene also made Chu Peng feel that it seems that maternal love is selfless, and endless maternal love is poured into these dishes, so even though its taste is very ordinary, it makes people evocative, nostalgic, and reluctant, leaving a deep impression in the bottom of my heart.

After the meal, Chu Peng sat in front of the door, and Yueji was chatting with Zhang Mei, and I don't know how long it took, a slight sound of footsteps came. Without looking back, Chu Peng couldn't help asking, "Cao Rui, what is your dream?" ”

"Dreams?" Cao Rui's soft words came from behind him: "What is the dream?" ”

After a long time, Chu Peng heard Cao Rui's voice coming: "My dream is to be a doctor, yes, a doctor." ”

This dream made Chu Peng a little strange, originally, Chu Peng thought that his dream was to make a lot of money, and then honor his mother well, so that he could live a good life. Therefore, Chu Peng immediately asked: "Why do you want to be a doctor, when you make a lot of money, isn't it the same to take your mother to see a doctor?" ”

However, as soon as Chu Peng's words fell, he heard Cao Rui's answer: "I can't wait for that, I just want to be a doctor, to be the best doctor, countless nights, I can hear my mother's pain with my eyes closed."

Every day, my mother is suffering from this disease, and for so many years, there has not been a single break, Brother Chu, do you know, my mother is only in her forties this year, but now she looks like she is in her sixties.

This disease, we also went to the hospital to see it back then, but 30,000 yuan checked it once, there was no abnormality, thirst to death, those doctors said it was fine, but now, look at my mother like this. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Rui couldn't help but let out a low sob, indeed, this genetic disease, modern scientific and technological instruments really can't detect it, and even most Chinese medicine practitioners don't know, although this disease doesn't seem to be anything, but it can indeed make people live less than 20 years, and the harm is very great, and at the same time, Cao Rui wants to study medicine, and he also has a plan.

However, the words were not finished, and then, Cao Rui continued: "Brother Chu, do you know, there are many good people near my house, including Sanniang, Aunt Yang, Uncle Ma, and many times when my mother had no money, they all helped us.

However, in the end, his mother herself was also sick, and Sanniang died because of a major influenza and had no money to hang water.

Aunt Yang is very good, but she has no money to go to the hospital when she is sick, and Uncle Ma, they are all like this, so I want to study medicine, making money is too slow, I want to study medicine to help my mother, to help those in need. ”

Cao Rui's words were finished, but Chu Peng was shocked, he really didn't expect that Cao Rui's life would be so miserable, nor did he expect that Cao Rui's ideals were so big, and he couldn't help but be silent at the moment.

After a long time, Chu Peng suddenly turned around and looked at Cao Rui, this child who is only sixteen years old this year, this child who has not even gone to school, but his childish face flashed with perseverance that did not match his age.

At that moment, Chu Peng asked, "Would you like to be my apprentice?" (To be continued......)
