On the second day, Mei Zhixiong received the money, and after deducting the advance, there was only 100 wen left.

When he came back from an errand, he took 100 yuan to Dr. Yang's hospital to buy two more pairs of medicines, and then went to the street vegetable market to buy a fish and two pieces of tofu.

In this way, nearly half of the money on his body was gone.

He walked home with his things, with some thought and worry between his eyebrows.

What can I do about my mother's illness? What happens if I advance the next month's salary?

Along the way, Mei Zhixiong met many people and greeted him.

He cheered up and responded, with a smile on his face, but the sorrow in his heart did not diminish by half.

When there were still two alleys away from home, Mei Zhixiong saw Zhang Li waiting at the intersection.

Zhang Niangzi should be waiting for Wen Xiaolang, boys always like to run around, and sometimes they are not at home when they eat.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Li saw him, and his face immediately showed joy, and when he saw the fish and tofu in his hand, his eyes were even more joyful.

"Mei Guanren is back?"

"Mrs. Zhang." Mei Zhixiong bowed his head and greeted Zhang Li.

Zhang Li squinted with a smile, and his eyes were even more staring at the fish in Mei Zhixiong's hand, unable to take his eyes off.

"Mei Guanren came back a little late today, did you go to see Granny Miao again? Is Mei Guanren really a kind person? Now that the world is difficult, if we are all good people like Meiguanren, we poor people can live a good life.

Am I sincerely grateful to you, Meiguan? You bought fish for our family, right? You are also too polite, knowing that our family Wen'er is sick, and you specially bought fish. Thank you so much. ”

Her series of words made Mei Zhixiong's head not react.

When he reacted, there was only a medicine bag left in his hand, and the fish and tofu had already appeared in Zhang Li's hands.

"Ouch, this tofu belongs to the street tofu Shih Tzu's, right? Her tofu is the most tender and smooth, and it is the best for fish stew. My family Wen'er must like to eat, thank you Meiguan. ”

Zhang Li happily took the fish and tofu, his face was full of gratitude, and his mouth was full of thanks, and he blocked Mei Zhixiong's words in his mouth.

"Then I'm leaving, Mei Guanren, thank you, you're so good!"

Looking at Zhang Li's back, Mei Zhixiong fell into a deep silence.

He thought that the men of the Zhang Li family were not in good health and could not work.

She runs the house as a woman, which is very hard, and she probably doesn't have much opportunity to eat fish on weekdays.

Mei Zhixiong sighed and thought: It seems that I have to buy another one.

What he didn't know was that when he turned to leave, Qiu'er appeared at the mouth of another alley.

She watched Mei Zhixiong go to the vegetable market again, there was no superfluous look on her face, wooden, like a puppet.

[Host, please note that the mission target's blackening value has increased.] 】

When Jiang Ru heard this, she couldn't help but wonder, [What's wrong with her? It turned black. 】

[The specific situation is unknown, the host can query the specific location of the mission target and the scene at that time through the points.] 】

[Forget it.] Jiang Ru shook her head and continued to read.

With Qiu'er's personality and the education of this era, Qiu'er's blackening value is estimated to be less than 100.

So don't be afraid.

Besides, it's a good thing not to be blackened, so as not to be too docile, like the original owner, and live his life so miserable.

But it was said that Mei Zhixiong came back with fish and tofu, and when he walked to another intersection, he met someone again.

This time it's Granny Miao.

Granny Miao was wearing a black coarse cloth dress with a dirty apron around her waist.

"Granny Miao, why are you here? Could it be that Miao Xiaolang ran away around here? Mei Zhixiong looked worried.

When Granny Miao heard his words, she immediately showed displeasure, and spit a few mouthfuls on the ground, "Bah, bah! Mei Guanren, how can you curse us Xiaolang like this? ”

"It's my fault, I said the wrong thing." Seeing that she reacted so much, Mei Zhixiong hurriedly apologized, "Granny Miao, then you are busy, I am still in a hurry to go home, and I will go to see you when I have time." ”

The reason why he asked so much was not because Miao Xiaolang was lost last time, and the whole town knew about it.

He helped to look for it all night, but the boy was hiding and falling asleep behind the stack of wood.

"Wait!" Seeing that he was leaving, Granny Miao hurriedly stopped him.

Mei Zhixiong stopped suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Granny Miao, are you okay? ”

Granny Miao twisted her centipede-like eyebrows and looked at Mei Zhixiong with horizontal eyes, "Why didn't you come to my house today?" ”

She looked at the fish in Mei Zhixiong's hand with greed in her eyes.

"I didn't go today if I had something to do." Mei Zhixiong had a sense of foreboding.

Granny Miao said: "You young man, you don't know if you don't go, let people say hello to us!" Then you don't need to ...... fish and tofu."

Qiu'er couldn't stand it, afraid that the fish would also be snatched away, so she hurriedly walked out and interrupted her.

She looked at Mei Zhixiong with surprise on her face and said, "Dad, did you buy it for your mother to replenish your body?" ”

Mei Zhixiong saw that it was his daughter, and his eyebrows unconsciously smiled, "Yes, Dr. Yang said that your mother's body needs to drink some nourishing soup." I thought about it, but only the fish soup was lighter, so I bought a fish and two pieces of tofu. ”

"Really? That's great! Father! I'll mention it. Qiu'er happily reached out to pick it up.

Mei Zhixiong hurriedly dodged, "No, the things are not heavy, just Dad will carry it himself." And it's so fishy, you will get your hands dirty if you mention it. ”

Qiu'er is afraid that Mei Zhixiong will be tired, she is afraid that if the things are in her father's hands, they will soon be gone.

In her opinion, the things in her father's hands generally do not belong to their family.

Not only the father, but also the one in the mother's hands, sometimes the father will take it to others.

In this family, only the things in her hands are really hers.

"Dad, you've been on an errand for a day, it's hard work, so I'll mention it." Qiu'er looked at Mei Zhixiong with concern, "You just let me mention it, I'm not afraid of fish, I like the smell of fish." ”

Those who have been hungry dare to eat even stinky bread, let alone this fresh fish.

Mei Zhixiong listened to Qiu'er's words, and immediately felt warm in his heart.

The daughter is really a little padded jacket and knows how to be filial to him.

He handed it over, "Okay, then you can carry it." ”

But he didn't want to, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the thing was snatched away by Granny Miao.

"This should be regarded as our family this month, you don't have to send it this month." Leaving such a sentence, Granny Miao ran away in a hurry as if she was holding a baby.

When she left, she was still dissatisfied with Mei Zhixiong.

felt that he was acting in front of her that his parents' affection was deliberately trying to poke her heart.

Mei Zhixiong looked at Granny Miao's back with a dull face.

Robbed?

Qiu'er lowered her head and looked at her empty hands, and the seeds in her heart took root and sprouted.

She suddenly realized that if she didn't do something, her home would be gone.

She didn't want to live a hard life, she didn't want to go hungry, she didn't want to wear old clothes, and she didn't want to die.

Somehow, she suddenly remembered the appearance of those who borrowed money from her father, as if she had been opened up to the second line of Ren Du.

I saw Qiu'er's eyes red, and her tears suddenly fell like beads with broken threads.

Mei Zhixiong withdrew his gaze from Granny Miao, and saw that his daughter was already crying breathlessly.

In an instant, he was stunned.
