Chapter Seventy-Four: The Sudden Child
"She said, it was she who was wrong back then, she heard the rumors and sent you back to the Xu family, so that you suffered a lot in the Xu family, but she still hopes that you can help raise her grandson, your little cousin, a hundred years old is the only seedling of the Fan family, if it is gone, the roots of the Fan family will be broken, hey, but she went suddenly, the child is gone, I asked the family to look everywhere, but I didn't find anyone else, a two-year-old child, I don't know where to go."
Cheng Xi on the side hurriedly responded, "Baisui went to our village to find him, and he is at my mother's house at this time." ”
Hearing Cheng Xi's words, the old lady was very pleased and said, "That's good, that's good, if something happens to this kid, this Fan family will really be dead." ”
Xu Sanlang sat at the table, with red eyes, and never spoke, the old lady looked at the young man in front of her, waiting for him to make a statement, but seeing the young man bowing his head, neither moving the purse in front of him, nor speaking, he began to feel a little apprehensive in his heart, and carefully persuaded, "Although this money is not much, it is saved by your grandmother's frugality, plus the money from selling the house, it is enough for the hundred-year-old child to eat for a few years, the hundred-year-old child is an obedient person, and he will help work at a young age, very intimate, Zihao, you were in the Fan family at the beginning, Even if there are rumors outside, the Fan family treats you well, but now that the Fan family has suffered from this catastrophe, you can't ignore the hundred-year-old child. ”
Cheng Xi also felt that the hundred-year-old child was pitiful, but this decision Cheng Xi would not easily do it for Xu Sanlang, it still depended on Xu Sanlang himself.
And she sympathizes with the Fan family and sympathizes with the child, but she also has selfish intentions, and now their own lives are in a mess, thinking that there will be a two-year-old child in the future, she has a little headache.
But if Xu Saburo agreed, Cheng Xi would not object, even if she knew that it would be more difficult to keep that child, but she couldn't be such a ruthless person.
Xu Sanlang, who had been silent, finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "Thank you Grandma Guo, I will arrange this matter." ”
Mrs. Guo and Guo Lao Er both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and the old lady looked at Xu Sanlang with great satisfaction and said, "The Fan family didn't raise you in vain, the hundred-year-old child will work hard for you in the future, this old house, you can also look at it." ”
Xu Saburo nodded silently.
The old lady saw that Xu Saburo didn't speak, knowing that the child was still sad in her heart, and that she had done everything she should have done, so she got up and said, "Let's go first, you guys, okay." ”
After that, he let his son help him get up and walked out of the door, Cheng Xi saw Xu Saburo bowing his head and was silent, so he had to get up and greet himself, send the two out of the yard, and thank Xu Saburo again.
When Cheng Xi finished sending people into the house, Xu Saburo was still the same, with his head down, red eyes, motionless, and a sad look.
Cheng Xi sighed and reminded, "It's not too early, let's not go back early, it's going to be dark." ”
Xu Sanlang finally made a move, stood up and walked out, Cheng Xi hurriedly picked up the purse on the table and followed quickly.
Outside the door, Cheng Xi looked at the dilapidated courtyard and asked, "What should I do with this courtyard?" ”
Xu Saburo finally returned to normal slightly, looked at the courtyard behind him, sighed and said, "I'll go in and find out if there is a lock, lock it." ”
This farmhouse is generally equipped with door locks, Xu Saburo went to the house again, turned over two door locks and came out, Cheng Xi looked at the fence courtyard wall that the child could climb into, and felt that it was useless to lock the outer courtyard door, if someone inside had a heart, it was estimated that they would also go in, and this lock actually didn't have much effect, seeing that Xu Saburo was already locking the wooden door inside, Cheng Xi said to his mouth and swallowed it back.
Along the way, Xu Sanlang bowed his head and walked forward silently, Cheng Xi knew that Xu Sanlang was sad, and he never spoke, only silently followed behind Xu Sanlang, only Xu Sanlang walked too fast, Cheng Xi had to keep trotting to catch up with Xu Sanlang's footsteps, but he was tired and a little panting.
Halfway through, Xu Sanlang heard Cheng Xi's gasp, so he reacted and stopped, and after looking left and right to see that there was no one, he habitually squatted down in front of Cheng Xi and motioned for Cheng Xi to come up.
Before the change, Cheng Xi had already excitedly put Xu Saburo on his back, but today Cheng Xi knew that Xu Saburo was sad, and it was rare that he didn't move, so he said, "I can move by myself." ”
Xu Saburo didn't get up, and said in a hoarse voice, "Come up." ”
Cheng Xi had no choice but to go over, lay on Xu Sanlang's back, and gently hugged Xu Sanlang's neck.
Only lying on Xu Sanlang's back, Cheng Xi seemed to be able to feel Xu Sanlang's sadness, it seems that Xu Sanlang still has deep feelings for his grandmother, Cheng Xi thought so in his heart, and at the same time thought about how to comfort Xu Sanlang.
After thinking for a long time, Cheng Xi's hand around Xu Sanlang's neck tightened slightly, leaned his head on Xu Sanlang's shoulder, and said softly, "You still have me." ”
Xu Sanlang paused as he walked forward, then let out a soft "um" before continuing to walk forward.
Cheng Xi couldn't find anything to comfort Xu Sanlang, so he tentatively said this, but he didn't expect that after this sentence, Xu Sanlang's pace was obviously not as heavy as before, and even the speed of walking was faster.
When I arrived near Shiqiao Village, the sky had gradually darkened, and when I arrived at the village, I automatically got off Xu Sanlang's back, otherwise I would be afraid that the people in the village would be talked about again.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, even if Xu Sanlang was sad, he still had to face a problem, what should he do with this child, and Cheng Xi was also thinking about this problem in his heart at this time.
Cheng Xi was about to ask Xu Sanlang, but he didn't want Xu Sanlang to speak first, "I want this kid, I want to stay." Obviously, the tone of his speech was a little lacking, I was afraid that Cheng Xi would disagree.
Cheng Xi sighed, although he knew that it was difficult to leave this child, he still nodded and responded, "It's good that you decide." ”
Hearing Cheng Xi's answer, Xu Sanlang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said his thoughts on the road, "I plan to go to Fucheng with the second brother and the fourth brother after the New Year, and I will earn more than in the county restaurant." ”
Cheng Xi frowned slightly when he heard this, "What about the Fan family's children?" ”
Xu Saburo said, "You just stay at home with your cousin, and I will earn more money to support you." ”
Cheng Xi frowned and said, "Stay at home?" Which home? We are afraid that we will not be able to stay in the Xu family, and it is okay to stay alone in my mother's house, but with a child, the Cheng family is afraid that it will not stop again. ”
Xu Saburo originally had a plan in his heart, but he was still a little hesitant to speak, and he was silent for a while before he mustered up the courage to speak, "Or, or, you will live in Mingshui Village first?" ”
Cheng Xi stared at Xu Sanlang with wide eyes, "What did you say about the courtyard just now?" ”
Seeing Xu Saburo nodding, Cheng Xi decisively shook his head and refused, "I don't want it, there is no store in front of the village and no store in the back of the village, you let me live there with a bigger child?" It's scary. ”
While speaking, Cheng Xi's body couldn't help but tremble, and Cheng Xi didn't say anything later, thinking that Xu Sanlang's grandmother died in that courtyard, and it was said that the corpse was found only after it was discovered, Cheng Xi felt panicked in his heart.
Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi with a frightened expression, and then remembered that Cheng Xi's courage was not big, and he was not even afraid of a caterpillar in the field, so he was afraid that it would not work to leave her in the yard with a child.
At this time, Xu Sanlang also didn't know what to do, Cheng Xi didn't think about what to do with the child, but at this time, Xu Saburo mentioned it, and he began to think about countermeasures.
Xu Sanlang will definitely make more money in Fucheng than in a restaurant, but if Xu Sanlang goes to Fucheng, it is not convenient to take a child to work in a restaurant.
Cheng Xi remembered the purse that he had put into his arms before, reached out and took it out, and turned it upside down in his hand, it was quite heavy, but after coming for so long, Cheng Xi also knew that this copper coin was already heavy, and the purse should be full of copper coins, and there were not many.
Thinking that Grandma Guo said that there was money from the sale of the house in this purse, Cheng Xi looked forward to it, and opened the bag at the mouth of the purse to look inside, in addition to the copper coins, there were silver-white broken silver.
Cheng Xi excitedly handed the purse to Xu Sanlang and said, "Look at how many are inside." Although Cheng Xi knows the silver, Cheng Xi is really not good at weighing how much broken silver is.
Xu Sanlang took the purse in Cheng Xi's hand, but he didn't do what Cheng Xi said, but stuffed it into his arms and said, "These coins are all left by grandma to my cousin, we can't move them." ”
Cheng Xi secretly rolled his eyes, but still discussed with Xu Sanlang, "I originally thought that if we have the capital, we will open a snack bar by ourselves, and with this money, we will have an excuse for the source of this money, or we will borrow it and pay it back when we make money." ”
Xu Saburo responded, "Then this money is still saved, let's not save some, or you use that money to open a store?" ”
Cheng Xi replied helplessly, "With our little savings, it's enough to set up a stall, where is it enough to make a decent snack bar?" ”
I didn't expect Xu Saburo to be so stubborn in this matter, "Anyway, this money belongs to my cousin, so we can't move it." ”
Cheng Xi pouted and replied helplessly, "Yes, if you don't move, you won't move, then we can borrow the reason for this money." ”
Xu Sanlang tilted his head and looked at Cheng Xi, "What are your plans?" ”
Cheng Xi nodded and responded, "You're going to Fucheng, I can't leave me with a child, I'm still a child myself, I think about it, why don't you go to Fucheng, help others do things in the restaurant, no matter how good the salary is, it won't be too high, it's better to do this, let's just open a food stall in the county, with my skills, we will definitely be able to make money." ”
Cheng Xi is still quite confident in his own craftsmanship, Xu Sanlang has long seen Cheng Xi's cooking skills, but he doesn't think Cheng Xi is exaggerating, but Cheng Xi really doesn't work in the restaurant anymore and comes out to make a food stall by himself, isn't he a little sorry for Ruyi Restaurant?
After Cheng Xi finished speaking, he waited for Xu Sanlang to respond, and seeing that Xu Sanlang didn't speak for a long time, he pushed Xu Sanlang, "How is it?" ”
