Chapter 52: Cold as Frost
The four people standing at the door were none other than Wu Aiguo's eldest brother Wu Jianguo, Wu Jianguo's wife He Min, and his son Wu Hongyang, and the girl next to him was slender and slender, with clear eyebrows.
It's no wonder that Wu Hua has such an expression.
My father has been at home for so long and has not come, and all the formalities have been done before he came to express his personal affection, and outsiders sometimes don't feel so angry.
Wu Jianguo was wearing shirts, trousers, and leather shoes, although he was three or four years older than Wu Aiguo, but because of the work of the two, he looked much younger than his younger brother.
Seeing Wu Hua's attitude, he was also a little embarrassed, and took the initiative to come to Wu Aiguo, and said with concern: "Aiguo, the operation is not a big deal." ”
Wu Aiguo shook his head.
"Then I'll be relieved."
He Min came to Tian Huiying with the things in his hand, and said hypocritically: "Huiying, I was busy with work a few days ago, and for the sake of Hongyang's university, we Jianguo ran a lot of favors, so I haven't had time to come to see you, I heard yesterday that you were hospitalized, so I took the time to come over today, I hope you don't have to be too careful." ”
As he spoke, he took out a crumpled hundred yuan and stuffed it into Tian Huiying's hand, "Buy some supplements for patriotism, buy more meat, how can there be any nutrition just for vegetable leaves." ”
Tian Huiying hesitated to accept it in her heart, this is not a question of money or not, in the end it is still a relative, although it is a bit fake, but it has not yet reached the point of breaking that relationship.
Wu Hua suddenly stretched out his hand and said unceremoniously: "Auntie, we appreciate your kindness, you better take back this money and things, my dad is weak now, and he can't eat such a supplement, the doctor said that he should eat lighter recently, otherwise his body will not be able to adapt." ”
After speaking, he took out a thousand yuan from his clothes and put it in He Min's hand, "This is the 1,000 yuan that my mother borrowed from you last time, and you can accept it too, auntie." ”
After saying this, Wu Hua was ruthless and wanted to reduce contact with the uncle's family.
It's not that this time it hurt his heart, in the memory of his previous life, the uncle's family didn't give his parents a lot of eyes, especially the hypocritical aunt in front of him, one set in his heart, one thing in his mouth, when he sees people talking about people, and when he sees ghosts, Wu Hua is disgusting from the bottom of his heart.
I still remember that when I just came back from teaching, at that time, the policy was no longer to distribute the package to the people who volunteered, and I had nothing to do with it, so I could only honestly go to the factory to work like a machine.
At that time, the uncle's family was already doing well, and his cousin Wu Hongyang had also graduated and worked in a state-owned enterprise, spending time every day.
At that time, his parents were heartbroken for Wu Hua's work, and the uncle's family made no less than five or six trips, hoping to find a decent job for Wu Hua. I thought that looking at the relationship between relatives and relatives could help somewhat.
As a result, I was blinded every time. The eldest aunt, He Min, even said to his parents in front of Wu Hua that Wu Hua was a coolie, and a big company like his son didn't want to enter, and it was impossible to go in and clean.
The three of them were ridiculed severely.
And his cousin Wu Hongyang, because of his family background since he was a child, he didn't look down on his cousin, let alone help find a job, and the family is the same face.
Since then, the relationship between the two families has slowly drifted apart.
Wu Hua knows exactly what this family is like, and he can be so decisive at this moment!
The sudden change made the uncle's family a little unresponsive, and his cousin Wu Hongyang was even more unhappy: "Wu Hua, what do you mean by this, we are kind enough to come to visit you, and you are making a face with us like this?" It's not for the sake of relatives, who will come to see you poor people without anything! ”
There was also a deep disdain and disdain in the words.
Wu Jianguo glared at him before he stopped.
Of course, Wu Hua thought so, but Tian Huiying didn't dare to say so much, after all, this is her husband's eldest brother, how can she say that she won't recognize it, she accepted the gifts and money sent by He Min, and dragged Wu Hua behind her, and said in an apologetic tone: "Big brother and sister-in-law, Wu Hua is still young, he is just angry for a while, don't take it to heart, you can come here to see patriotism, we are already very grateful." However, the borrowed money should still be repaid, and you will take the thousand yuan sister-in-law. ”
Wu Hua sighed, his mother's heart is also soft, a typical knife mouth tofu heart, knowing that the other party looks down on our family, and refuses to pierce this unnecessary layer of paper first.
He Min's face looked a little better, and he deserved to accept the thousand yuan, and he didn't feel anything wrong at all. Wu Jianguo was about to come up, but he was also glared back.
Then Yin Yang said angrily: "Huiying, you also know that our Hongyang is about to start school, and we have to prepare a lot of money, so we can't draw so much money, don't blame us." The tone was like only his son was human.
"No, sister-in-law is too careful." Tian Huiying replied lightly.
He Min continued to ask: "Aiguo also spent a lot of money on this operation, where did you find this money?" Where did the dick borrow how much? ”
Asked about the source of this money, Tian Huiying naturally straightened her waist and said proudly: "Just yesterday's surgery fees and hospitalization expenses have already cost almost seven or eight thousand. When I am discharged from the hospital, it is estimated that it will cost two or three thousand. However, there is not much shortage of money at present, Wu Hua works for a factory boss, and earns enough money to recuperate until he is discharged from the hospital. ”
A trace of curiosity flashed in He Min's eyes, and in the spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the end, he said, "How much did you earn?" ”
"It's not much, ten to two hundred thousand." Tian Huiying said that the clouds are light and the wind is light, as if buying vegetables in the vegetable market.
Ahem......
He Min was startled, swallowed his saliva, and said, "I heard it right, hundreds of thousands?" Huiying, don't slap your swollen face and become fat, do you know how much hundreds of thousands are? ”
It's not that she doesn't believe it, but that she and Wu Jianguo have saved more than 100,000 yuan after so many years of hard work, and this is still in a good job.
They don't know what the situation is in Wu Hua's family, and Wu Hua is also a secondary school student who is about to graduate, and he suddenly earned more than 100,000 yuan, which is like buying a lottery ticket and winning 5 million, which is unbelievable.
"Alas, Mom's mouth, I knew I wouldn't tell him so much money." Wu Hua sighed. Once these money-eyed relatives know that they have so much money, they will definitely come to borrow money every now and then.
And the eldest aunt is a person who can't keep her mouth, it is estimated that after going back, after a little talk, several of my father's brothers and sisters will know about it, and it will be difficult to borrow it at that time.
Tian Huiying also wanted to show the savings to He Min, but fortunately, Wu Hua's eyes were quick, and he put the passbook behind him, not letting He Min see it, and said lightly: "It's not a lot of money, don't be so surprised by the eldest aunt, in the future, when my cousin comes out to work, I can get so much money casually." ”
Wu Hua deliberately exaggerated, so that the aunt's family thought that Wu Hua was bragging.
At the mention of Wu Hongyang, He Min's face was full of pride and pride: "That's right, Hongyang is going to study at the beginning of September, don't look at your current secondary school students, and when Hongyang University graduates in the future, that is the sweetheart of all enterprises." ”
Wu Hua smiled and said nothing, Wu Hongyang's future memories surfaced as long as he thought about it a little.
The year he graduated, he had few bachelor's degrees, and he was indeed fragrant, and there was no shortage of work wherever he went. It's a pity that this cousin has been lazy since he was a child, because of the family environment, he never pays attention to his work, and he has not done a good job of the tasks sent by the boss several times.
At that time, Wu Jianguo's family was not as smooth as before because of the wave of layoffs in 98, and Wu Jianguo failed to get paid with several bosses. The days are getting harder.
In the end, Wu Hongyang's wife ran away directly with her son.
"By the way, this is Hongyang's girlfriend Zhang Shumin." Wu Jianguo, who had been silent, suddenly introduced.
He Min said with a smug face: "Shumin, why don't you know how to call someone after coming in for so long." ”
"Hello uncle and aunt." Zhang Shumin called very obediently. Wu Hongyang, who was supposed to shout, never opened this mouth.
Tian Huiying was not to be outdone, and looked apologetic: "I just chatted, but I forgot about Dongmei, this is Wu Hua's girlfriend Liu Dongmei." ”
"Uncle, aunt is good." Liu Dongmei shouted directly after Wu Hua, and when she heard it, the second elder's face was full of face, and even Wu Aiguo, who was lying on the bed, had a smile on his face.
He Min was stunned for a moment, Wu Jianguo suddenly stepped forward, took out a brand-new hundred-yuan bill from his clothes, and put it in Liu Dongmei's hand, "She is a sensible girl, and she is also a good match for Wu Hua." ”
Wu Jianguo saw that since everyone had already spoken, how could he still give this opening fee, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. He Min also reacted at this time, and for the sake of face, he also took out a hundred yuan and put it in Liu Dongmei's hand. In fact, there is still some discomfort in my heart, Zhang Shumin didn't call it that before.
Then after a while, the uncle's family left the hospital.
After they walked away, Wu Hua said: "Mom, don't tell anyone about our money in the future, you also know what Dad's brothers are like, no matter how much money they have, they can't afford to borrow it." ”
Tian Huiying nodded and sighed: "Mom also wanted to fight in front of your eldest aunt just now, all these years...... Alas, no more. ”
Wu Aiguo looked at his wife with a guilty face.
At noon, the second uncle's family also came, and their attitude was similar to that of the previous uncle's family. I took something over, said a few words and left the hospital. No one said that they would come over to help because their mother couldn't take care of them.
Wu Aiguo, who was lying on the bed, also looked disappointed and helpless.
After lunch, Wu Hua was also going to prepare to go back, the train at three o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as the second elder heard that Wu Hua was going back, he knew that his son had something to do, so he didn't keep much, but let Wu Hua work hard. Hearing that Liu Dongmei would stay here for a while, the eyes of the two elders showed a look of relief and emotion.
