Chapter 126: Glutton
"Come on, come on, come in and sit." Mrs. Wen took three people to a room at the corner of the second floor, and looked at the layout and furnishings, which should be regarded as the office of the restaurant, but although the things in the room were neat and tidy, they looked very old, and they were not as chic as the decoration downstairs.
"Hey, it's the first time I've come upstairs to you, why do you still have the old belongings?" When Granny Meng saw that the furnishings in the house were similar to her own things, she suddenly felt very kind.
Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "Before, the old sisters gathered together, I was afraid that you would laugh at me, so I didn't bring you up, how can I throw these things?" They are all poor, and they can't forget their previous hardships as soon as they get rich. ”
Even Li Bai and Jin Bao'er nodded their heads again and again.
Xiaoqin is very fast, and before a few people can say a few words, she walked in with a pot of tea and a few cups, and poured them one by one, Mrs. Wen took the tea and smiled, and said: "Xiaoqin is a good child, although she has not been here for a long time, but the people are very good, and I usually treat them well, and I resigned when I said I resigned, so that now I can't even recruit people, and I am too busy every day." You look at Xiaoqin, don't say a word, work diligently, I really am not wrong about such an honest child. ”
Xiaoqin listened to it next to her, her face turned red, and she was embarrassed to see that Granny Meng and they were all looking at her, so she nodded her head hurriedly and said, "Aunt Wen, I'll go downstairs to help cook, and call me if I have something." ”
"Go, go, go." Old Lady Wen said with a wave of her hand.
After Xiaoqin walked out, Granny Meng laughed and said, "The old sister is still so good at talking, and the face of the female doll is red. ”
Li Bai and Jin Bao'er were a little strange, only to hear Mrs. Wen smile and say, "Then what else can I do?" Now they all want to resign because they are afraid, and what they stay is nothing more than to get more money, and I can't say it clearly, so I can only appease and appease them like this. I'm embarrassed to let these dolls, alas, I can't help it. ”
Li Bai suddenly realized, it turned out that this old lady Wen had already known Xiaoqin's thoughts, but she didn't say anything about it, and they were "playing" with each other. In the end, the ginger is still old and spicy.
Granny Meng took a sip of tea and said, "What's wrong with the eldest nephew?" ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wen immediately became serious, sat forward and said, "Old sister, you have to help me this time, I am such a son, you also know that my man left early, and I was a father and a mother alone to pull him up and go to college." Graduate school, bank work, these are not easy! ”
Granny Meng nodded, she had a very good relationship with Old Lady Wen, so she naturally knew this.
"But just some time ago, my son suddenly seemed to be a different person, overeating, and when he saw food, he stuffed it into his mouth. No one can stop it, and a starving ghost will be reincarnated. In the end, I didn't go to work. He stays at home all day, and as long as he doesn't pay attention, he sneaks into the kitchen and eats hard. Old Lady Wen sighed as she spoke.
When Jin Bao'er heard "eat hard", her brain made up the picture, and she wanted to laugh but couldn't help it. Old Lady Wen saw that the three of them didn't understand the situation a little, so she got up and said, "Why don't you come with me to see him." Alas, we can't keep an eye on him all the time now, we have to lock him in the bedroom. I don't know what sins I did in my last life, and I want my son to pay for it. ”
"Old sister, don't worry. It's going to be fine. Granny Meng comforted her as she walked.
"I was in a hurry before, but now that you're here, I'm much more sure-footed, I know your ability, if you can't solve this matter anymore, then I can't do anything at all." Mrs. Wen said as she led the three of them to another room not far from her office, took out the key and prepared to open the door.
Seeing this, Li Bai turned around and whispered to Jin Bao'er: "You are ready to do it!" ”
Jin Bao'er was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "What kind of psychological preparation?" ”
"Didn't you hear the old lady say that her son overeats every day? It's going to be like a ball now, and your eyes and face are definitely bursting out, so don't be scared. Li Bai reminded.
When Jin Bao'er heard this, she suddenly felt sick in her heart, and asked in a low voice, "How do you know?" ”
"That's what it does in the movies." Li Bai shrugged and replied.
When the door opened, the three of them looked inside, and they were all stunned, even though Li Bai and Jin Bao'er had been mentally prepared in advance, they were still startled by the scene in front of them at this time.
The furnishings in the room are very normal, it is an ordinary bedroom, and on the bed facing the door, there is a man lying on his side, his face facing the door. To Li Bai's surprise, this person was already skinny to the point that he was skinny, and the cheeks on both sides were also retracted, because he was too thin, his eyes did not bulge out as Li Bai imagined, but sunk into his eye sockets, and the whole person lay lifelessly on the bed, staring at the four people who came in.
"Is this your son?" Li Bai couldn't believe it.
"Well, that's him." The expression on Mrs. Wen's face was very distressed, but she was helpless.
"This is Xiaopeng?" Granny Meng was also surprised, and Old Lady Wen nodded again.
Seeing that the man in front of her was like an African refugee, it seemed that he had been hungry for a long time and was dying.
Li Bai couldn't help but say, "Didn't you say overeating? How do you lose weight like this? ”
"Yes, I eat the amount of food for three people every day, and sometimes you look at him and can't eat anymore, but you still stuff it in your mouth, and you cry out that you are hungry if you don't give it to him. But the body is getting thinner and thinner day by day, which is the most frightening, obviously eating so many things, but it seems to be malnourished, they all say that they hit the ghost, so that the ghost sucks the essence. Mrs. Wen said.
Li Bai nodded and said to Granny Meng: "Granny Meng, this is not right, how can anyone eat more and more thin?" ”
"Old sister, what do you think of my son? Is there a cure? Mrs. Wen asked hopefully.
Granny Meng walked over and took a look, only to see Xiao Peng, who was not angry at all on the bed, staring at her blankly, but as if she didn't know her.
"He's always been like this?" Granny Meng asked.
"It's always been like this, I don't know anyone, but I will be refreshed when I see food, I took him to several hospitals, and the examination said that there was no problem, which made me feel even more evil." Mrs. Wen replied.
"Peng, do you recognize Auntie?" Granny Meng lowered her head and asked.
Xiaopeng glanced at her again, didn't make a sound, and turned his face away with his eyes blankly.
Granny Meng took out a lollipop left over from the cloth bag when she bought it for her granddaughter, and shook it in front of Xiaopeng's eyes, Xiaopeng seemed to see a life-saving straw, and suddenly sat up, his eyes lit up and shouted: "Eat!" Food! ”
His action startled Li Bai and the others. Granny Meng nodded and handed the lollipop to Xiaopeng, who took it and ignored the packaging on it, and took it in his mouth, and Li Bai and Jin Bao'er were dumbfounded.
"You see, he's always been like this, no matter what it is, as long as it's food, he puts it in his mouth." Mrs. Wen said helplessly. (To be continued.) )
