Chapter 244: Fourteen Quarters
Invited by An Jie, Qin's face turned red and walked into the warm room.
Anjie also completely blocked the cold out of the door,
His home is much better than that of the mother and son, not only the decoration and furniture, but also the right temperature to make people feel comfortable.
Because they can't even afford a fire in the fireplace, and Jack is too small now,
I couldn't cut firewood at all, and Qin was sick, and I didn't have the money to buy ready-made firewood in the town, so the temperature of the two families was very different.
And when Dog Meat saw his neighbor walk in, he no longer grinned as before,
Instead, he wagged his tail and welcomed them,
Jack was at a loss for the change of dog meat, but he still walked over curiously, interacted with it, and tried to make friends with dog meat.
This is specially ordered by An Jie, and children basically like dogs.
"Ahem! It's time to eat, and everyone comes to eat. ”
Seeing this, An Jie immediately beckoned and said, and led them to the table to sit down, and suddenly Qin and Jack and Dog Meat were attracted by the food on the table,
Grilled beef skewers, fish soup, roast turkey, salads and many other meals are placed on the table,
The color is bright and the fragrance is overflowing.
After all, this is not China, he can't make a traditional Chinese New Year's Eve meal and doesn't have that ingredients, on the contrary, these food cooking skills are not high,
Try it once or twice and you'll be done.
"Sit down, if you don't eat again, it'll be cold."
An Jie looked at the stunned mother and son sitting in the main seat, stretched out his hand to invite.
Jean looked at this table of food, and forgot how long it had been since she had eaten such a luxurious meal, Jack from birth to the present,
I haven't eaten any of these foods, but I've seen them in other residents' homes......
When Dog Meat heard his words, he immediately ran to An Jie's feet and sat down obediently, and the tail behind his buttocks kept swaying from side to side.
"Sit, you can't fill your stomach just by looking at it~"
Seeing this, An Jie couldn't help but laugh out loud.
That's why Jean and Jack sat on both sides of the table and looked at An Jie quietly.
"If you are a Christian, you pray, you don't eat, but eating is a big deal."
An Jie picked up the wine on the table and poured half a glass into the glass in front of him.
There's no vodka or other liquor for sale here.
So it's hard to drink this.
With the permission of the master, Jean and Jack no longer politely picked up the food and started eating, filling their hungry stomachs, which is what they should do now.
An Jie raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp,
Picking up a plate of steaks and laughing in front of the dog:
"Come on, dog, here's your portion, add a steak and turkey thighs."
Barking!
The dog meat responded with two snorts and lowered its head and ate it violently,
Pick up a piece of beef, chew it in your mouth and swallow it directly into your stomach.
Eating is called a fierce ah~
Then An Jie himself began to eat dinner,
After a period of eating, the food on the table was swept away like a storm.
All that's left are dirty plates and cutlery,
The three of them and the dog were all full, and after the meal, An Jie, Jean and Dog Meat came to sit down by the fireplace, while Jack cleaned the dishes on the table alone,
This was agreed upon at the beginning, and Jack naturally had to fulfill this agreement.
But Jean, as a mother, sat by the fireplace and looked at her son with distress in her eyes.
"Very distressed?"
An Jie looked at Qin's eyes and asked lightly.
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have brought him into this world to suffer......"
Jean replied with a bitter face.
Due to his own illness, Jack suffered a lot as a child,
Even now I have to rely on the two of them to make money together,
can buy medicine and eat to barely make a living, and the nutrients supplemented every day are pitiful, in a word, there is no money.
"It's okay for the boy to suffer a little, I was similar to him when I was a child,"
"I survived, and he will do the same in the future, and the difficulties and pains that can't defeat him will only make him stronger."
An Jie crossed his hands and shook his head, and said solemnly.
Although Jack is not very old, his mind is more mature than that of children of the same age.
will not be as fragile as ordinary children,
However, Jean didn't think it was any good, and in her opinion, children should not suffer.
"If it's okay in the future, I'll eat three meals here."
"He labored for me in exchange for the food I needed, and if you didn't want to, you could only watch him grow thinner and more skinny."
An Jie suggested to Qin with an expressionless face.
This is the best choice to help the mother and son, and the nature of giving money has changed.
It's safer to exchange your own labor for food.
It also makes Jean more acceptable to this.
Qin Meiyu sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed, and after hesitating again and again, he finally nodded and agreed with his proposal:
"Thank you very much, Mr. Anjie, if you don't mind......"
"I'm fine, maybe I'll be able to teach him something later when I'm free."
An Jie smiled and nodded when he heard this.
However, what Jean didn't know was that after agreeing today, Jack would have an extremely unforgettable and lifelong experience in his life~
More than three years later......
Fourteen seasons have passed since spring and autumn.
At this time, in the backyard of An Jie's house, Jack was exercising shirtless.
Although the sun is high in the sky, the temperature is not as warm as expected, but a little cool, but Jack is not cold,
"Two hundred and ninety-nine...... Three hundred! ”
Jack gritted his teeth and struggled to prop himself up, shouting at a raised voice.
Strong muscles all over his body, sweat kept leaving from his body, after completing the daily push-up training,
Catapulted up from the ground, reaching out to wipe the sweat left on his face and neck,
Turning his head to look at the man sitting quietly on the ground next to him:
"Teacher, the daily training is complete."
"Go to the old place and run five kilometers, take the dog meat and go out together,"
An Jie sat on the ground with his eyes closed.
Three years have passed, and Jack has transformed from the skinny imp he was to a big boy, and his sturdy body is outstanding among children of the same age in the town.
Of course, excellence is not only physical,
Even knowledge, An Jie also taught him some knowledge in all aspects.
But that's just a small part,
But Jack is a very good learner, and he can gain a lot of knowledge through books, and he will have a good future if he changes families.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Jack took a towel to wipe the sweat stains and put on his clothes, and immediately walked into the house,
Take the dog meat away next to the fireplace and go for a long run around the town's roads, thanks to the daily exercise as well as the replenishment of meat,
He can have the healthy body he has today,
So in his heart, An Jie's weight is very heavy, and with the growth of age and thinking,
He understands that what he does can't be exchanged for three meals a day.
But An Jie has been working for three years, still providing food for their mother and son, and also teaching him all aspects of knowledge, martial arts, and life philosophy, even if his mother is sick, he will do his best to help.
So Jack respects his teacher very much.
once joked that his father would be the same as An Jie.
But as soon as these words came out, An Jie and Qin's faces changed,
Directly scared Jack, and since then he has not mentioned this joke again, maybe he is serious, but who knows what he thinks?
