Wei Liang walked to open the door, and saw that Meng Jingang was still followed by someone, a little surprised, Meng Jingang smiled and said to him: "Wei Liang, I'm sorry, I came back late, I met my second brother on the street, and I knew that my third brother was injured and was admitted to the county hospital, so I went to the hospital to visit my third brother together......

My second brother doesn't have a place to live for the time being, so let's squeeze together tonight, and he will find another way tomorrow. Also, my second brother and I didn't have dinner, I just saw that there is still a fire in the coal stove, how about we add a briquette and cook some porridge? ”

Wei Liang: "......"

What's going on with Meng Jingang? It's already hard to take him in by himself, and he still brings someone? What about when this is a hostel?

I also cook porridge, and there is no food at home.

Wei Liang thought that when he was cooking dinner, his mother carefully turned over the empty grain bag, shook it gently, and didn't let go of the flour in the gap, and his mother said apologetically: "The monthly grain index of our family's grain book has been eaten up so quickly this month, and it has been overspent, so I will go to your uncle's house tomorrow to see if I can borrow some." Eat less tonight, half a bowl of batter per person, and half a bowl of your classmate, if he doesn't come back to live, you and your brother will eat it separately at night, and you won't be hungry in the middle of the night. ”

He and his younger brother ate the batter, and they were not hungry in the middle of the night, but what about their parents? Won't they be hungry?

Wei Liang knew at this time, what his eldest sister said was right.

The family is so poor, he has no job, he hasn't earned a penny from his family, and he is still supported by his parents at the age of eighteen, why does he take in guests for so long? This family is not just his own home, if he stays with guests, his family will have to save rations, and they will have to starve, his mother is already malnourished, his face is yellow and thin, and his younger brother is half the size of a child, and it seems that he always can't eat enough......

Wei Liang felt ashamed, not to Meng Jingang, but to his parents and family.

"I'm sorry King Kong, my eldest sister is back with her nephew and brother-in-law, you can find another place to live tonight."

Wei Liang said this sentence naturally, Meng Jingang froze, and Meng Jingui behind him was also stunned, and then felt a burst of regret in his heart, is this not to take in? If he had known, he would not have followed him all this far, cold and hungry, it would have been better to sit in the hospital, at least it would be warm and there would be boiling water to drink.

Meng Jingang stammered a little: "Then, your eldest sister is really here?" ”

"Really." Wei Liang said.

The sound of Sister Wei coaxing the child came from the house.

Meng Jingang: "...... Wei Liang, why didn't you say it earlier? Where do you want us to go now? ”

"King Kong, you went out after lunch, I don't know where you went, my sister has already come, you only appeared now, how can I tell you?"

"But...... So what do we do? Everywhere is closed, the twelve street lamps are going out, and the streets are dark. ”

Wei Liang thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, do you remember our class Wu Wei?" His home is the county department store, the department store family courtyard in the city, just the castle-style old building, the three doorways of the gatehouse are wide and big, Wu Wei and his father are watching the door, the lights there are always on at night, there are two rows of benches, we usually go there to play cards, you go there to deal with it for one night, you tell Wu Wei that his father is Wu Wei's classmate, he will not drive you away. ”

Meng Jingang felt that Wei Liang was simply insulting him, what kind of bad idea did he come up with? He was asked to live in the doorway, was he so downcast?

For the sake of his old classmates, he didn't want to turn his face with Wei Liang, he felt that he should have brought Meng Jingui over, Meng Jingui was wearing this way, rustic and dirty, Wei Liang was unhappy, so he didn't want them to stay.

So he nodded and said, "Since it's inconvenient tonight, let's go somewhere else." ”

Wei Liang saw that he was refreshed, and he also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's getting late, then you guys go quickly." ”

But I heard Meng Jingang say: "Today I went to see our factory site, the factory building is basically good, the dormitory is also built very quickly, it will be completed next month, so I will come again next month, I heard that this recruitment, there are a lot of people, I have to pay attention to it, otherwise I will not have a good dormitory - let me tell you first, I will come to live with you for two days next month." ”

Wei Liang: Why do you still want to come to ......?

Hearing Sister Wei's cough in the house, Wei Liang hurriedly said: "Meng Jingang, next time you come to live in a hostel, our family is small and can't stay." ”

After saying that, he quickly closed the door.

Meng Jingang stood in the dark aisle, thinking back to Wei Liang's words, and realizing that he had been completely rejected, he couldn't help but be embarrassed and angry: How could Wei Liang be like this? Shut himself out in the middle of the night, he didn't get angry, and he politely explained in advance that he would come back next month, but he refused in one bite, without any mercy! It's too unrighteous, isn't it?

When he turned around, he saw that Meng Jingui was still thinking about pulling other people's coal stoves to keep warm, and he couldn't help complaining in annoyance, all because of this unlucky guy, he had no place to live.

Meng Jingui was even more angry, blaming Meng Jingang for not being reliable, causing him to go far away hungry and tired half to death, but he couldn't find a place to live or food.

The brothers quarreled and walked out of this dormitory area, in fact, they can still go to the hostel, the hostel is still open late at night, Meng Jingui and Meng Jingang have some money on them, but no one is willing to take it out, and finally goes to the hospital.

Early in the morning, Meng Tao came to the hospital with a large aluminum lunch box, and saw such a scene: a lump of cotton quilt on the left side of Meng Jinniu's bed, which was a person in the quilt, sleeping.

Meng Tao asked, "Who is this?" ”

Meng Jinniu: "Second brother, Meng Jingui." ”

Meng Tao glared: "How can you let him sleep here?" Is it a joke to bump into you and hurt your leg? Don't you want to be okay? Why didn't he leave last night? ”

Meng Jinniu's face was full of helplessness: "I left last night, and I came back in the middle of the night, fortunately, Brother Zhang Fu went to call the doctor to come over, he didn't dare to squeeze me, that is, after the doctor checked the room in the morning, he really couldn't hold it and came up to sleep for a while, I am awake now, and I don't let him touch me." ”

Zhang Fu pointed to the door: "There is another one on the bench outside, I was really annoyed by them last night, I didn't sleep well, I got up at five o'clock in the morning to go to the toilet, and that Meng Jingang got into my quilt, so that I had no place to lie down, so I could only carefully get some warmth next to my dad." ”

Meng Tao really has nothing to say.

Taking advantage of the fact that the two people didn't wake up, they scooped out the steaming big bone porridge from the lunch box and gave it to Meng Jinniu to eat, and gave a bowl to Zhang Fu's father, this porridge was bought in a state-run restaurant, boiled for a long time, with a rich aroma and good nutrition, in addition to the big bone porridge, there were six white and fat buns in an oily paper bag, filled with pork and cabbage, Meng Jinniu and Zhang's father each had one, and the rest was given to Zhang Fu, Meng Tao himself came over after eating enough in the restaurant.

Zhang Fu didn't shirk either, served porridge to his father, took a big bite of the bun, his mother came to change shifts during the day, and he would also bring food, and he boiled chicken soup yesterday and gave it to Meng Jinniu to drink, these days are like this, the two families send each other food.
