Chapter 3: I don't mind if you remarry
"That's right, it's to sell tea eggs, and the tea eggs made by Dad are the best!" Cheng Yuan thought of tea egg leaves, and suddenly became greedy, the more she said, the happier she became, and said: "The cost of tea eggs is not big, don't look at the fact that an egg can't make much money, but small profits are quick turnover, and the profits are also very considerable." ”
Such a Cheng Yuan, Cheng Huaien has never seen it, when she laughs, the peach blossom eyes like her mother, as if she can speak, the confidence and brilliance in her eyes are flying, and people can't take their eyes off.
"Okay, let's make tea eggs." Cheng Huaien thought that he must keep such a smile on his daughter's face forever.
Three days later, Cheng Yuan went home and returned to the small bungalow after more than ten years of absence, which was the small bungalow she once wanted to desperately flee from, but finally wanted to go back desperately.
The oldest small bungalow in Yixian County, a small courtyard of a few square meters, two rooms that can only fit out of bed, and a living room with little room to put down a table, and the small kitchen is even more crowded.
These days, they are all in the hospital, and the uncleaned house gives people a feeling: dirty and messy.
Cheng Yuan first found out the dirty clothes of their father and daughter, took the footbasin and washboard, and squatted in the yard to wash clothes.
"Yuanyuan, put it inside, I'll wash it later." As soon as Cheng Huaien got home, he went into the kitchen to prepare lunch, heard the movement in the yard, poked his head out of the kitchen and said, "You are just injured." ”
"It's fine." Cheng Yuan replied without raising her head, she was no longer the little girl who couldn't do anything and only lost her temper before.
"Knock knock."
There was a knock on the door, Cheng Yuan was stunned for a moment, and a strange and familiar female voice sounded outside the door.
"Lao Cheng, I made some bone broth, you will send it to the hospital to replenish Yuanyuan's body."
Aunt Yu next door.
Cheng Yuan's memory was activated instantly, Aunt Yu's son Yu Qing was a student in No. 1 Middle School like her, and he was still in the same grade, but compared with her poor student, Yu Qing's grades were very good, the top ten in the grade.
At first, Yu Qing would help her with her homework, but she ......
Cheng Yuan didn't dare to think about the stupid things she did, at that time she was ignorant, she felt that Aunt Yu wanted to marry her father, and mocked Yu Qing, saying that in order to help Aunt Yu marry her father, did he start to please her now?
What else did she say later?
He seemed to be very angry and said: No matter how much you please me, I will not let you. Mom married my dad, so don't dream.
Later, the relationship between Cheng Yuan and Yu Qing was worse than that of strangers.
However, until her father was sentenced to one year for negligently injuring Li Liang, she lived alone in this small bungalow, and Aunt Yu helped her regardless of her previous suspicions.
Only then did she know that Aunt Yu was very good, but unfortunately, she didn't wait for her father to come out, and after the college entrance examination, Aunt Yu died of illness, and Yu Qing disappeared.
"No, you don't." Cheng Huaien responded loudly, he couldn't even take care of the soup in the pot, he hurriedly ran out, looked at Cheng Yuan and explained: "Your aunt Yu heard that you were hospitalized, so she ......"
Cheng Yuan got up directly, opened the door directly, and saw that face full of kindness, her eyes were full of astonishment, and then, her smile was a lot cramped, and she said embarrassedly: "Yuanyuan, you have been discharged from the hospital, this soup was just boiled by me, and it is for you to replenish your body." ”
Aunt Yu didn't expect Cheng Yuan to be discharged from the hospital today, put the lunch box in her hand into Cheng Huaien's hand, and turned around to leave.
"Aunt Yu, thank you." Cheng Yuan suddenly spoke.
Aunt Yu looked back in surprise.
Cheng Yuan stood up straight, bent down deeply, and said word by word: "I was ignorant before, I'm sorry, Aunt Yu." ”
Cheng Huaien was confused by her daughter's actions, didn't she always give Aunt Yu a good face before?
Why did you apologize all of a sudden?
"No, no."
Aunt Yu was confused by Cheng Yuan's actions, and hurriedly helped Cheng Yuan to stand up and said, "I don't remember anything before, I don't need to say anything I'm sorry, they are all next-door neighbors, and it is right to help each other." ”
Knowing that she didn't like others to touch her clothes, after helping her to stand up, she immediately let go of her hand, took a step back, and said, "I'll take care of my body when I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll go home first." ”
After Aunt Yu finished speaking, she went home quickly.
"Dad, is there a vegetable paste in the pot?" Cheng Yuan sniffed and looked at the kitchen suspiciously.
Hearing his daughter's words, Cheng Huaien screamed and hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
The egg drop soup he beat was mushy.
After a period of scrambling, Cheng Huaien felt sorry for his egg drop soup, the soup was dry, the eggs were charred and black, and he couldn't eat it at all.
"It's okay, didn't Aunt Yu bring the soup?"
Cheng Yuan said with a smile and sat back on the small stool to wash clothes.
Lunch is very simple, a fried meat with chili, a stir-fried bean sprouts, plus the bone broth sent by Aunt Yu next door, just two dishes and one soup.
Cheng Huaien's craftsmanship is very good, even the simplest bean sprouts are more fragrant than others when fried.
"Dad, the soup you drank in the past two days was all given by Aunt Yu?" Cheng Yuan drank the bone broth and felt that the taste was very familiar.
Cheng Huaien paused for a moment and said, "Yesterday's bone stewed corn was made by your aunt Yu." ”
He hurriedly explained: "Your Aunt Yu is also kind, she didn't see you in and out for a few days, so she kindly asked." ”
"Dad, Aunt Yu is fine." Cheng Yuan drank the soup and thought of the death of the rest of her life, if it weren't for the lack of money for treatment, Aunt Yu would not have died so soon.
"Yuanyuan." Cheng Huaien looked at Cheng Yuan in shock, his daughter had changed too much.
Didn't she particularly dislike Aunt Yu before?
"Dad, I've grown up, and I used to be ignorant." Cheng Yuan paused for a moment and said, "I don't mind you remarrying, as long as you like it, I will approve of you marrying Aunt Yu." ”
If Cheng Huaien was drinking soup, it must have all squirted out.
"Yuanyuan, when is Dad going to remarry?" Cheng Huaien looked at Cheng Yuan quite uncomfortably and said, "Children's families, don't worry about adults." ”
"Dad, my mother has been gone for so many years without news, if she doesn't come back for the rest of her life, do you have to wait for her for the rest of your life?" Cheng Yuan looked at him fixedly, in his previous life, until his father died of stomach cancer, and her mother did not appear, perhaps, people didn't care about their father and daughter at all.
Dad is so good, why should he be single all the time for her? She didn't want her father to be alone all the time.
"I didn't want to get married." Cheng Huaien put down his chopsticks, he lowered his eyes, and said, "You. . . Mommy will be back. ”
He believes that Xiaoxiao will come back, and will definitely come back.
"What if she doesn't come back for the rest of her life?" Cheng Yuan asked rhetorically.
When she was five years old, her mother left, and she did not show up until she died.
"Then never get married for the rest of your life." Cheng Huaien replied without thinking, he said seriously: "Yuanyuan, in my life, I only recognize you as a mother, you don't have to worry about others snatching me away, Aunt Yu is very good, so I can't hurt her." ”
