Chapter 9: Powerlessness

"It's okay, it's just a little skin injury, I'm afraid that my aunt will see it and be worried, so I didn't say it."

He Qingdong had finished changing his medicine at the moment, and was leaning on the spacious single sofa with his clothes closed, seeing that it was his uncle, he didn't plan to hide it from him, and besides, he couldn't hide it.

"What's going on this time?" He Chifeng frowned, moved the chair in front of the computer desk, and sat down in front of his nephew, with a posture of "I won't let you go if you don't say it".

He Qingdong rubbed his eyebrows tiredly: "It's me who was careless." ”

"You? Careless? How could He Chifeng believe it, stared at He Qingdong and said word by word: "You four cousins, I will believe the guy in Songbei who said that you and Yaonan and Ling Xi are not people who will be careless." ”

He Qingdong lowered his eyelids, quietly listened to He Chifeng's analysis, and chuckled deeply: "Uncle, you think too much, everyone has a time when they are careless and missed." ”

"I don't believe it."

"If you don't believe me, I can't help it." He Qingdong made it clear that he didn't want to talk about this matter, and got up from the sofa.

The burly man of 1.9 meters stood in the center of the study, and He Chifeng, who was standing up straight and a head shorter than him, danced eyelids for no reason. Stinky boy! Why don't you grow so tall!

He Qingdong gently shook his injured right arm, and raised his eyebrows at He Chifeng: "It's really just a skin injury, don't look at me with that kind of eyes when you look at a seriously ill patient, it will arouse the suspicion of my aunt." ”

He Chifeng couldn't see his wife sad the most, when he heard this, he sighed, got up and patted his nephew's shoulder, he wanted to pat his head, he used to shoot it when he was a child, but now he has more than enough - the height is insufficient.

"Okay, if you don't want to say that I won't force you. But there is one sentence that I still want to emphasize to you: my father, your grandfather, his orders, you don't necessarily have to obey them. Protecting yourself is the most important thing. ”

"I understand." He Qingdong's expression was solemn and he nodded.

"Let's go out, your aunt has prepared a table of dishes, and it's rare to allow your uncle and me to drink a cup, don't you give me face...... Oh yes! I can't drink if I'm injured......"

He Chifeng looked regretful, but he was actually snickering in his heart: the rice wine jar is opened, if you don't drink it, it will change its taste, and the eldest nephew can't drink it if he's injured, isn't he ......

"It's okay! Rice wine, little meaning! He Qingdong easily wrapped his arms around his uncle's neck with his uninjured left arm, and the two brothers walked side by side to the restaurant.

"How do you know it's rice wine? You eavesdrop on me talking to your aunt! ”

“……”

Come on! The two of them flirted so loudly, he was not deaf, just separated by a door panel and a wall, could he not hear!

……

At the beginning of the lanterns, the He family was ready to eat.

"What's going on today? It's all this time, Mom hasn't come back yet? ”

He Xidong brought out the soaked vegetable soup, glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was six o'clock in ten minutes, usually at this time, He Mu came back early.

After He Wei helped Father He pick up the broken pieces of wood scattered in the yard, she looked at the sky and said to He Xidong, "I'll go to the alley to have a look." ”

"I'd better go!" He Xidong took off his apron and was about to go out, when He Mu came back.

"Dongzi, are you going out so late?" Mother He looked at her son's posture and asked in wonder.

"Isn't this looking for you, I'm coming back late today, and the two children are worried." Father He carried the half-finished chicken coop to the eaves of the hall, dusted off his clothes and said.

He Mu lowered her head gloomily, and after a moment, she smiled and said, "What are you waiting for me to do?" When I'm hungry, I'll eat first, won't I come back when I'm done? ”

"Mom, is something happening?" He Wei brought the basin, twisted a warm towel to wash He's face and wipe her hands, and found that He's mother's eyes were a little red, as if she had just cried, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Is the laundry embarrassing you?" ”

"Nothing." Mother He took the towel and covered her face to prevent her daughter from taking a closer look, but the faint choking in her tone still made He Wei hear something strange.

"But you're crying."

He Wei's affirmative words made He Mu stunned.

Seeing this, Father He and He Xidong also hurriedly put down the work in their hands and came over to inquire.

"Actually, it's nothing." Mother He knew this, and sooner or later she couldn't hide it, so she had to tell her: "A relative of the proprietress came up to defect, and he will also help in the store in the future, I ...... today Busy until so late, count the clothes on my head, and ...... 7 pcs. ”

"Then don't do it!" He Xidong was young and vigorous, and when he heard that He Mu was angry in the store, he said in a rough voice: "The proprietress is clearly trying to drive you away, what are you doing there!" Get up early and stay dark all day, and when it's over, she will receive a daily wage of 7 yuan, she is embarrassed! It's better to find a job than in that black shop! ”

"It's easy to say! But if you really want to change jobs, how can it be so easy to find. He Mu sighed lightly. Where are laid-off workers who have no education disliked?

Father He opened his mouth to say something, but finally bowed his head and was silent.

What can be said? Let the wife not have to look for a job and stay at home to enjoy the blessings, right? He has to have the ability to support this family alone. Although the son said that he had an average of 1,800 yuan per month, he discussed with his wife that the money could not be moved, and that he would save it for the next year, and let Dongzi go to school. The two of them have had enough of the hardships of "no culture", and they can't let the next generation live so hard.

But now I am carrying goods at the wharf, and at the end of the day, I can bring back forty or fifty yuan is considered lucky, if the weather is bad, there are few cargo ships going back and forth, and the days of no work are not nothing. In such a situation, he couldn't open his mouth to ask his wife to quit her job.

Father He reached out and touched his body, took out a nearly shriveled cigarette case from his trouser pocket, and slightly trembled and took out a cigarette and knocked it back and forth in the palm of his hand.

He Wei has watched this scene no less than ten times, and her heart is inexplicably sour, but it's okay, smoking is harmful to health, it's better to just look at it to satisfy your hunger.

The family finished dinner in silence, He Wei helped put the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, looked at He Mu who lowered her head to wash the dishes, and finally couldn't help but say: "Mom, don't worry, my brother and I are the ones who make money." ”

Mother He only comforted her daughter when she was relieved, squeezed out a smile on her face, nodded and said, "Okay!" That mom is waiting for you two to come and pay respects! ”

That night, He Wei lay on the bed, tossing and turning countless cakes, but she couldn't fall asleep.

One after another of money-making calculations flashed in my mind, and finally, I thought of the silk painting of stepping on the snow and red plums.

If you can really identify the success of the antique calligraphy and painting exchange meeting, five to 100,000 yuan, rent a small storefront, and open a wood art shop for your parents should be enough, although it is very hard to open a store to do business, but it is better than getting up early to go to the dock to carry the goods, and the mother of He washes her hands and is looked down upon......

[The ......]

System Jun suddenly popped up.

[Didn't you say that you want to run long distances in the morning and yoga in the evening? 】

He Wei choked and forgot about it.

And tomorrow after school four laps, will run dead.

She rolled over weakly and went to sleep!

What the system wants to say is that it seems to sense the storage of the main brain, but because the magnetic field is too weak, it is impossible to determine which direction it is, let alone whether it is in the Qing market.

But because He Wei still didn't know about the mastermind, she was afraid that after saying it, it would cause her rejection, so she kept hesitating, and finally didn't dare to open this mouth.

When he turned around and saw that He Wei had fallen asleep, the system breathed a sigh of relief silently, and shrank to the side to try to sense the direction of the magnetic field of the main brain.
