Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Loser
Just as she picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, she remembered Wencai who hadn't eaten yet, so she found a clean bowl, divided the rice in half, and peeled Wencai's favorite fat intestine into the bowl.
Taking advantage of the old aunt's unpreparedness, she sneaked into Wencai's room.
Wencai was sleeping on the bed with his head covered, Shumei lowered her voice and called him in a low voice: "Wencai, are you hungry?" The food is still hot, you can get up and eat something! ”
Wen Cai's stomach was growling with hunger, he thought that the old lady was just hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and after eating, she would beg him to eat as before, for fear that he would be hungry. He never thought that it would be his family's nanny who came to deliver the food.
He lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed, and without lowering his voice, he asked in a normal or even somewhat decibel-normal voice, "Did my mother call you?" ”
"Shhhh Wencai, you be quiet, auntie, they are taking a nap! Be careful not to wake them up. ”
Shumei stretched out her finger to her mouth and made a gesture to speak quietly, lowered her head and whispered.
Wen Cai heard her say this, and looked at her with a surprised expression, with an angry expression on his face.
"What do you say? I'm hungry here, and the two of them can take a nap in peace. ”
"You also have to understand your aunt more, she is also for your good."
"Who are you? You're just a babysitter in my family, be careful what you say, and it's not your turn to dictate what I do. ”
Wen Cai sneered sarcastically, full of anger and just couldn't find a place to vent! He craned his neck, his eyes widened angrily, and told Shumei through.
Since he said so, Shumei couldn't say anything more, so she could only put her rice bowl on his bedside table silently and prepared to walk out the door.
Smelling the aroma of this meal, Wen Cai's stomach rumbled again. He touched his stomach, looked at the rice bowl on the bedside table, and kept swallowing.
"For your sake, I'll barely eat some."
He picked up the rice bowl and began to devour it, just took a bite, and felt that the taste was a little wrong, he immediately spit out the rice in his mouth back into the bowl, and slammed the bowl with chopsticks towards Shumei.
"What are you giving me to eat, there are garlic sprouts that I hate the most, and leftovers dare to be brought to me to eat."
The bowl was shattered to pieces, and the food was spilled on the floor.
is the so-called cannibalistic mouth is short, and the person is soft, no matter how unreasonable this literary talent is, she can only knock out her front teeth and swallow blood, and her grievances can only be put in her stomach. I'm afraid that I will make a mistake and lose this errand.
Shumei turned to look at the hideous-looking Wencai, but she didn't expect her kindness to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs.
"What do you see? Don't hurry up and clean it up. ”
Shumei had no choice but to lean down and clean up the debris and food on the ground with her bare hands.
It is said that three women in one play, this article is afraid that one person can afford Yitai's good show. I've seen a hypocritical woman, but I've never seen such a hypocritical man.
It's really a cruel thing, a good meal was wasted like this, many people want to eat it but don't have to eat, it's really born in the blessing and don't know the blessing, Shumei keeps feeling sorry for this waste of rice in her heart.
The old lady in the next room heard the noise and got up from the bed to check. As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw Shumei passing by the door with a broken bowl piece.
"Shumei, what's wrong?"
Hearing the old woman's voice, Wen Cai was in a hurry, jumped off the bed with socks on, and ran madly to the two of them. He was about to open his mouth and put all the responsibility on Shumei, but he didn't think that Shumei would open his mouth one step ahead of him.
"Auntie, I didn't pay attention and broke a rice bowl. Tomorrow when I buy groceries, I will buy one and come back to make up for it. ”
Shumei explained to the old woman with an embarrassed face, as if she had really made a mistake.
Hearing that Shumei actually took all the fault on herself, Wen Cai swallowed back the words that mentioned her throat, and her expression was still a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, isn't it just a bowl? There is still time for the horse to stumble! People are not saints, who doesn't hurt themselves when they are not careful, right? ”
The old aunt looked at Shumei's hand with concern, and on the old aunt, Shumei felt a warm maternal love. The old woman in front of her is such a good mother! How good it would be if she could have such a mother, Shumei didn't understand, why didn't Wencai understand? Don't you know how to cherish it?
"Auntie, I'm fine, thank you for your concern, auntie, you are a good mother."
For a person who lacks maternal love, such care is simply a luxury, and Shumei was so moved that her eyes were moist.
What a sycophant, good mother? This is to say that I am not a good son anymore, I really can't see it, I am usually honest, and there are quite a lot of curves in my head.
When Shumei walked away, the old woman was also ready to turn around and go back to the house. Wencai, who came back to her senses, quickly stopped her.
"Mom, you really can't bear to watch your baby son starve?"
"If you don't want to starve, do as I do."
"Mom, Mom......"
The old woman shook off a serious sentence and ruthlessly turned back to the house. Although the old aunt said categorically, her heart hurt like a needle prick, and she was afraid that her son would starve, and on the other hand, she was worried that her son would not be able to get lost.
"Humph! Isn't it just a living expense? Can I still be the famous Li Wencai. ”
He went back to the house and scanned it, except for the wardrobe and bed, he really couldn't find anything of value in the house, the valuable refrigerator, washing machine, and sewing machine were not in his room, besides, the target was so big, it was not easy to get out by himself.
He felt the tables, chairs and benches in the room, and wandered back and forth several times. Suddenly, he saw the Shanghai brand watch he was carrying, and touched the watch on his wrist, and he showed a smug expression.
It's just God helping me, this broken watch, except to look at the time, it doesn't seem to be of any other use, watch! Table! I've wronged you, let's help your master and me first, and solve the crisis in front of you! When you have money, the master will go and redeem you.
As he spoke, he sat down on the bed, put on his shoes, stood in front of the mirror, combed the hair on his head so that the ants had to use crutches for fear, and hurriedly went out with his "briefcase" on his shoulder.
When he came to a watch shop, the owner of the watch shop smiled and welcomed him into the door, "Boss, what kind of watch do you want to buy?" ”
Wen Cai pretended to walk around in front of the glass cabinet, looking at the dazzling array of watches in the glass cabinet, he smiled and said to the owner of the watch shop: "Boss, you still need 120 yuan for this Shanghai brand watch?" ”
"That is, the guarantee is an authentic Shanghai brand, and the quality is guaranteed."
"Then you buy it...... Buying a watch? ”
Wencai tentatively asked the boss, he didn't know if he could accept it here, and he didn't find a professional place to collect watches, so he couldn't lose face before he was sure that the watch shop owner wanted to collect watches.
"Buy? I sell watches, what other watches do I buy...... Wait a minute, I'm going to do it, no, boss, you're trying to sell watches? ”
The owner of the watch shop laughed out loud, thinking that this man had come to have fun with him.
"Do you say you can't buy it? What is all this nonsense? ”
Looking at the ill-intentioned smile of the watch shop owner, Wen Cai felt as if he had been humiliated. A wave of anger burned in his heart, and he said very unkindly to the owner of the watch shop.
"Buy, of course buy, I don't know if the boss has any good watches to sell me?"
"This, the same as the one in your cabinet, ninety percent new, give a price."
Wen Cai took off the watch on his wrist and handed it to the boss. The boss took it in his hand, looked through it carefully, and stretched out his rootless finger at Wen Cai.
"What? 50 yuan, this is ninety percent new, authentic Shanghai brand watches, the one in your cabinet sells for 120, I have a nine-percent discount, at least it has to be worth one hundred and eighty yuan! ”
"You are second-hand, I am new, so how can it be the same, so be it! For the sake of you, you also sincerely want to sell, and I will add ten more yuan to you. ”
……
After a fierce period of you advancing and retreating, you rise and I cut, and finally Wen Cai successfully sold the watch that had just been worn for less than two months at a satisfactory price of 80 yuan.
Walking out of the watch shop, he carried his briefcase and rushed home with his head held high, looking proud of everyone. As if he wanted everyone to know that he now had money on hand.
When he walked into the courtyard, he deliberately coughed twice in order to attract the attention of the neighbors who were working in the courtyard.
Sister Liu, who was sitting in the courtyard pulling the soles of her shoes, heard the sound and raised her head to greet him, "Wencai!" Dressed in real spirit today. ”
"Ahem...... A large company outside, encountered some difficulties at hand, specially asked me to go over to help them solve it, no way, now there are people outside who look down on people, if you don't package yourself, gold will be buried by them. ”
Wen Cai straightened his back, as if he was really a capable person.
Sister Liu took the soles of her shoes, walked up to Wen Cai, and looked up and down with disdain, "Really?" That Aunt Huang is afraid that she can wake up with a smile even if she falls asleep, the eldest son has a promising factory, and the younger son is also so capable. ”
"Aunt Liu, don't worry, my Wen is a person who values feelings, and when I soar in the future, I will definitely not forget our old neighbors in the courtyard, you are busy, I will go back to the house first."
After Wen Cai finished speaking, he walked proudly towards Zhang's house.
"Whew! Aunt Liu? You think you're still very young, and you'll be able to make a difference, and the sun will come out in the west. ”
Sister Liu looked disdainful, spat heavily on the ground, and muttered quietly.
Another woman of the same age who was on the other side of the door walked out of the door, saw Sister Liu with a dark cloud, and asked with a smile, "Sister Liu, what's wrong?" ”
"What's wrong? It's not the demon king of the world, Li Wencai, hey! Listen to what he said: Aunt Liu, don't worry, my Wen is a person who values feelings, and when I soar in the future, I will definitely not forget our old neighbors in the courtyard, you are busy, I will go back to the house first. You say that you are not angry, what kind of person is he Li Wen, how can we not know. ”
Seeing Sister Liu learning Wencai's voice to speak, imitating Li Wencai's movements when he spoke, he leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.
"Okay! Sister Liu, what are you doing with the same knowledge as that kind of person? ”
"No, if a woman marries such a man, it will be moldy for eight lifetimes."
While talking, the two walked to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down, stopped talking about Li Wencai, the demon king of the world, and began to study the soles of the shoes in their hands.
As soon as Li Wencai got home, the shelf was very large, and as soon as he sat on the sofa, he roared like a lion.
"Nanny, babysitter ......"
Shumei heard the roar, hurriedly ran out of the room, and almost knocked down the vase on a storage cabinet at the door when she went out, but fortunately she reacted quickly and caught the vase quickly.
Although she caught it, it still scared her a lot, and she walked up to Wen Cai in despair, "Wen Cai, you called me?" ”
"Who told you to call me by my name? Call me young master in the future. ”
Shumei wondered, hasn't it always been called that? I can't scream today. He is God, and he will do whatever he says! Shumei answered.
"Young Master Ben is thirsty, go and pour me a glass of water, it's six points hot."
Shumei went to the kitchen to pour water for Wencai, and in order to satisfy his six points of heat, Shumei poured the water into two bowls and turned it back and forth, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly cooling the hot water.
Seeing that Shumei didn't come out for a long time, Wen Cai shouted at the top of his voice: "Did you beg to fetch water last month?" It takes a long time to pour a glass of water, I really don't know what good you have, my mother still praises you. ”
"It's coming, it's coming."
Shumei blew the water in the cup that had not yet dropped to six points of heat as she walked, and she had to respond to the words of Wen Cai.
Wen Cai took the water, took a sip, and continued: "Young Master Ben is hungry, go cook a bowl of noodles for me." ”
"Cocoa...... The aunt said......"
"Don't talk so much nonsense, wait for my mom to come back, I'll explain to her, see? Young Master Ben has money and living expenses. ”
Wen Cai took the money from selling the watch and dangled it in his hand, with a triumphant expression.
The old woman knew that as long as Shumei didn't cook for this Wencai, he would definitely rather go hungry than cook by himself. So when she went out, she specially instructed Shumei that she must not indulge Wencai, otherwise her hard work would be in vain.
Shumei agreed at that time, but now that Wen Cai took out the money, the old woman's rules didn't work. Anyway, seeing that he was pitifully hungry and couldn't do it himself, Shumei had to go to the kitchen to boil water and make noodles.
As soon as the water was boiled, Wen Cai outside was screaming there again.
"Do you still have to watch boiling water? Young Master Ben is tired from walking today, and his back hurts, you can press me. ”
Shumei was a little hesitant, this shouldn't be what her nanny should do.
Seeing that Shumei didn't come out for a long time, Wen Cai shouted: "Are you deaf?" Tell you to press me. ”
Shumei was so frightened that her body shook involuntarily, and she hurriedly came out of the kitchen to pinch Wen Cai's back. Wen Cai had a very relieved expression, and closed his eyes to enjoy the treatment of this young master.
Wen Cai's roaring voice like a lion woke up the little stone that was sleeping in the house. Hearing the child crying, Shumei's first reaction must have been to coax the child, but as soon as she took a step, she was stopped by Wen Cai.
"What are you going to do?"
"Little Stone is crying, I'll coax him."
"Come back, he's a big kid, and he still needs someone to coax him, so I'm not happy now, who will coax me?"
