Chapter 180: This Is My Home
Chapter 180: This Is My Home
It seems that nothing has changed, and the blue brick walls of the welfare home are still there, but there are some traces of repair. There were a few seven or eight-year-old girls at the door, dressed in old but very clean clothes, staring blankly at the car parked at the door. Many families in the countryside want boys, especially in this mountain farming. When a girl is born, she is sent to the door of the welfare home, and this kind of thing happens once or twice a year. So in this welfare home, there are mostly female babies. When Chen Xie was in the welfare home, he was in the minority. The children have grown up, and they fly things, as far as Chen Xie knows, every one sends money back, and there is no one who comes back to see.
There are seven or eight children who have gone out of the welfare home, and Chen Xie is the only one who went to university. The others are either in vocational high school, or they went out to work after graduating from junior high school. They are reluctant to come back, not only because of face, but also because they are reluctant to pay overtime for the New Year.
Parked the car, Chen Xie got out of the car, and as soon as he stood firmly, he covered his eyes from behind. "Guess who I am?" The voice was very familiar, and Chen Xie didn't have to think about it to know that this was the eldest sister who was five years older than herself, and she stayed to help Aunt Wu work. When Chen Xie was in college, she married herself and asked for a bride price of 10,000 yuan, all of which were given to Chen Xie as tuition. Later, Chen Xie opened a clinic, and she scraped together a few thousand yuan.
The past was like a tide, moistening Chen Xie's eyes. The familiar embrace hugged Chen Xie again, and the familiar voice was in his ears again: "Okay, okay, my sister is joking with you, why are you crying?" is such a big person, and the daughter-in-law has it. ”
Yang Lili also got out of the car. Standing by the door and watching this scene, silent.
"Hehe, I'm fine, my eyes are in the sand." The reason is terrible, but everyone agrees.
"I saw you driving by on the side of the road just now, and I didn't dare to recognize it. Hurriedly ran over and threw away all the firewood he had picked up. "The eldest sister has the surname of her aunt, and her household registration is in the welfare home. The figure is a little thin, so you need to look on your back to see Chen Xie clearly.
"Tsk, grown up." Facing the tears that the eldest sister couldn't hold back. Calloused hands slid across the face. Looking at the wrinkles on his face at the age of thirty, Chen Xie felt deeply guilty. "Sister, I was wrong, I should have come back a long time ago."
At this time. Seven or eight children in the courtyard dragged a thin woman in her fifties out. The hair is already half white. Nagging as he walked: "What are you doing, what are you doing?" There's still vegetables stewed in the pot. "Aunt Wu's eyes don't seem to be very good, and she is close to Chen Xie, who is a few meters away. I can't see it clearly.
Chen Xie opened his arms, as in the past, and stepped forward to pick up the mother who had once carried him on his thin shoulders.
"Auntie, I'm back." When she was a child, Chen Xie always wanted to call her mother, but her aunt insisted on not letting her call, saying that maybe Chen Xie's parents would come over one day.
This time, Aunt Wu finally recognized Chen Xie, stretched out her hand and touched her face tremblingly, looked up at Chen Xie and said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back." As he spoke, he wiped away his tears again. Chen Xie saw that his heart was sour, and he couldn't help crying.
"Hello Auntie!" Yang Lili stepped forward and took the initiative to integrate into this circle. "Eh, hello, hello, it's Chen Xie's girlfriend, right? Ahh Aunt Wu stopped Yang Lili's hand, and she was more enthusiastic than Chen Xie.
The eldest sister gently patted Chen Xie's shoulder behind her back and pointed at the driver of the pickup truck. Chen Xie stepped forward with a smile and said, "Master, help unload the goods, I'll pay you two car fees." ”
"Good Ratcha!" The master was happy, opened the back door, and helped unload the goods. Chen Xie also took off his coat and moved together. There were also seven or eight half-sized dolls in the yard, and they all followed to help. I bought a little more things, and a cart full of goods.
After getting off the goods and sending the driver away, Chen Xie entered his original room, and nothing has changed here. The walls have been repainted, the one-meter-high bed, and Chen Xie's special desk are still quietly staying there.
Lie on a small bed. Chen Xie found that his legs couldn't be straightened, and when he closed his eyes, his heart was unexpectedly peaceful. Yang Lili appeared at the door, leaning against the door, holding her hands, and looking at Chen Xie with a calm face with a smile. It seems that in this place, he can feel that his heart is at peace. Opening his eyes, Chen Xie smiled at Yang Lili, sat up and said with a smile: "I just figured it out, this is my home." ”
"I took a look, and there were fourteen children in this yard, and only three people took care of them. I estimate that the money remitted back was not used much by my aunt. The courtyard wall was repaired, and the floor was still concrete. ”
"There are three children missing, one with congenital heart disease, one with cleft lips, and one with poor hearing." Chen Xie was like a treasure, and the eldest sister's voice was at the door: "Well, thanks to the money you sent, my mother sent all three babies for treatment." Your second sister and third sister came back together to pick them up. Xiao Jing's heart surgery was very successful, and she was put on a stent. Xiaohu's ears have been checked, and a hearing aid will be installed. Xiaoyu's surgery will not be done until a few years later. The third sister, Aya, said on the phone that the second sister postponed the marriage date until the year after the year for Xiaoyu's surgery. ”
Chen Xie listened to the eldest sister's chatter quietly, the aunt is already old, and the eldest sister is worried about everything here.
"Eldest sister, don't worry about money, I have cooperated with others to do business over the years and have earned a lot of money. The money sent to the family is only a small amount. So, I went back to the bank to open an account and deposit a sum of money. If you need money in the future, you can go to this account. You can rest assured that you will not cut off the expenses of the welfare home. ”
………………………………
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Xie got up early, put on the casual clothes Yang Lili bought, and drove to a nearby town. Yang Lili's home is in the town, and when the car arrived at the entrance of the town, I saw Yang Lili waiting on the side of the road.
"I'm here, is my son-in-law coming to the door?" Chen Xie made a joke, and Yang Lili threw a sad look and said, "Be careful that I sue you for bigamy." Chen Xie laughed, aren't you worried about this at all? Well, I don't seem to be worried.
"In this way, you say, I work abroad and rarely come back." Chen Xie gave such an explanation, and Yang Lili nodded with satisfaction: "It can only be like this." ”
The parents of the Yang family were very polite and stood at the door to greet them. Yang Lili has a younger brother, who watched Chen Xie come in with an indifferent expression, and lowered his head to play with his mobile phone. Chen Xie's eyes were good, and he glanced at it, kidney 6.
It is undoubtedly more painful to chat with the elders, but fortunately, Chen Xie does not resist this. I've been talking patiently. As he spoke, it didn't taste right. Yang's mother has been talking about how the boy is, graduating from college, buying a house, buying a car, getting married, and so on. didn't mention the relationship between Yang Lili and Chen Xie. This makes Chen Xie very helpless, it seems that Yang Lili studied in a vocational high school, and she went out to work after graduation, looking at the conditions at her home, it is not very bad.
Chen Xie didn't bring many gifts, just some supplements, a kilogram of cordyceps, and a wild ginseng. In a simple box, in fact, these two boxes are not simple, Chen Xie specially asked people to make them with nanmu. It's a pity that I don't know the goods here, so I didn't take a second look at these two boxes, let alone open them. This kind of coldness is obvious and Chen Xie can feel it.
Yang Lili didn't speak, standing aside and sneering. Until Yang's mother said: "Xiao Chen, you work abroad, how is your income?" Our family Lili has an annual salary of 200,000 yuan. ”
At this time, Yang Lili's younger brother stood up, raised his foot as if unintentionally, and kicked over the gift box brought by Chen Xie. He whispered in his mouth: "Bullshit turtle, drive a Pashat, get two boxes that don't know what to put to fool people." ”
Chen Xie couldn't pretend anymore this time, so he stood up with a smile and said, "Then I'll go back first." Yang Lili only said at this time: "Don't be in a hurry to go, take things back, people can't look down on them." ”
"Lili, how do you speak?" Father Yang didn't speak much, and his face sank and he looked at Yang Lili angrily.
Yang Lili didn't say much, twisted her face away, and sneered: "Dog's eyes don't know gold and jade, Chen Xie, go!" Saying that, he picked up Chen Xie and left, but Chen Xie didn't expect this result in advance.
Out of the door of the Yang family, Chen Xie was quite embarrassed and said, "How did you do this?" You didn't make it clear to your family? ”
Yang Lili sneered: "What else can I say, half of my monthly salary is remitted to my family, and they are not satisfied." My younger brother was studying in Shanghai and was only a freshman, so he asked me to get him money to buy a house. Even if the old lady sells herself, she can't make up the money. ”
At this time, Yang Lili's younger brother chased after him and said angrily: "Yang Lili, you stop for me." As he spoke, he rushed up and punched.
Chen Xie watched him rush over coldly, and without the slightest hesitation, a punch rushed to Yang Lili's face, Chen Xie kicked out quickly at this time, and kicked it firmly in the stomach. Considering Yang Lili's younger brother, the strength has been collected by more than half, but it is enough to kick him out five or six meters away.
The kid was kicked away, lying on the ground and vomiting, the Yang family's parents also chased after him, Chen Xie glared at him viciously, and a strong murderous aura overflowed. The parents of the Yang family were frightened, and they did not make a fuss unexpectedly, but helped the kid up with fear on their faces, and their mother whispered: "How can you beat someone?" How can you hit someone? ”
Chen Xie looked at Yang Lili who was wiping her tears on the side, and said in his heart, is this family brain-dead? Yang Lili has an annual salary of one million, is she still so virtuous? That's a little too unscientific, isn't it?
"Why don't you tell them the truth?" Chen Xie turned his head and asked, Yang Lili snorted: "Why should I tell them the truth?" If I tell them the truth, they will pounce like locusts and suck blood. Whose daughter gives 100,000 yuan to the family a year, and there are too few parents? That's it, I can't get a smile from them. Don't I owe them? You see, this is my home! (To be continued......)
