Chapter 169‖ Zhang's Family Affairs (3)
Wang Yaozu and Zhao Yanping went all the way to Wang's house.
After the two of them sat down, they said a few more polite words, and Wang Yaozu went straight to the point.
"Lao Zhao, what do you think about this today?"
Zhao Yanping sighed for a moment and said: "It's hard to say, this young man surnamed Zheng, I seem to have heard of it somewhere, you let me think about it." ”
"Huh? Have you heard of it? Tell me what's going on. ”
When Wang Yaozu heard this, he immediately became calm, revealing an incredible expression.
Zhao Yanping pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "I remember, his family lives in No. 95 Courtyard of Nanluoguxiang, which is said to be a military martyr's family, and there are many relationships above, so it is not easy to mess with.
There are family members in their courtyard, just because they offended their family, it seems that they went to the labor camp to gnaw on the nest like Zhang Jinwang. ”
"This..., this is the fold, you say what should we do? Lao Zhao. Wang Yaozu thought for a long time, and finally rubbed his teeth and asked.
"What to do? Cold. ”
"No, Lao Zhao, what do you mean by that? Why don't I understand it? Wang Yaozu didn't understand what he meant, and hurriedly asked.
"Don't rush." Zhao Yanping put on an unfathomable look, and said to Wang Yaozu: "This has happened, it's useless for you to be anxious now, it's better to wait and see what the relationship between this young man and the Zhang family is, and wait for the situation to be clear, and then we'll talk about it." ”
"Well, Lao Zhao, what you said is right, now it can only be like this!" Wang Yaozu nodded after hearing this, and agreed with Zhao Yanping's statement, and then thought of today's incident, and said hatefully: "It's all to blame on the girls surnamed Zhou, otherwise where would there be so many things today!" ”
Zhao Yanping saw Wang Yaozu's annoyed look when he mentioned Zhou Yan, he also shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said: "The matter has happened, what can you do if you blame her, it is better to think about how to make up for the Zhang family, otherwise the Zhang family is really close to that young man, and we will sit on wax then." ”
"Well, you go and talk to the Zhang family, see what this young man surnamed Zheng has to do with their family, and then we will see the situation." Wang Yaozu nodded and commanded.
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow." Zhao Yanping happily agreed.
The two of them lasted for a long time, and finally Zhao Yanfang went out of Wang's house.
…………
Backyard, Zhang's house.
Zhang Chuxue, who got Zheng Zhendong's orders, walked quickly to the house with the medicine bag.
As soon as I entered the door, the room was pitch black, and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when I heard Zhang Yaoyang, who was still coughing.
Zhang Chuxue groped at the door, and then pulled hard, and in an instant the room was illuminated by the faint light emitted by the tungsten lamp.
"Little brother, you wait a while, sister will boil medicine for you."
Zhang Chuxue walked to the side of the bed and gently comforted her, then lay under the bed and hurriedly turned over the medicine pot at home.
"Hurry up and boil the medicine, my little brother's illness can't be delayed any longer."
Zhang Chuxue muttered in a low voice, then walked out of the house quickly with the medicine pot and came to the pool in the courtyard to wash up.
After a period of chaos, Zhang Chuxue sat on the mazha next to the stove, looking at the medicine in the medicine pot without blinking, but her heart was in deep thought.
Thinking about what happened at home, Zhang Chuxue couldn't help but shed tears of grievance.
At this time, Zheng Zhendong walked into the house and saw Zhang Chuxue sobbing, and immediately leaned up, "What's wrong with you, why are you crying, is your brother uncomfortable again?" ”
"No, it's fine." Zhang Chuxue choked up. "Brother Zheng, don't worry."
Zheng Zhendong glanced at the medicine pot on the stove, thinking that Zhang Chuxue was worried about his brother's condition, and comforted: "Don't worry, as long as your brother drinks this dose of medicine, he will get better soon, you are worried." ”
"Hey, hey, well, thank you, Brother Zheng, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."
After Zhang Chuxue finished speaking, she couldn't bear it anymore, and her eyes were red and she cried.
"Don't cry, you can tell me what's wrong." Zheng Zhendong hurriedly persuaded.
"Woo, Brother Zheng, you must have seen the situation in my family, woo!
Ever since my dad had an accident, these people in the compound have been bullying my family.
First, under the pretext that my father was a labor prisoner, he drove our family of three to this dark and damp little house.
My grandmother was already in poor health, and after living in this house for a while, her physical condition was even worse.
Some time ago, I couldn't afford to be sick, I survived for a few days, and before I got through, I passed away, woo! ”
Zhang Chuxue cried sadly, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.
Zheng Zhendong looked a little distressed, and comforted: "I'm sorry, the mourning is changing, the deceased is gone, the living must always look forward, you want to open up, Miss Zhang, if your grandmother knows about it, I guess her old man doesn't want you to be like this." ”
When Zheng Zhendong said this, he sighed in his heart, and said: "Miss Zhang, you have to be strong, your family's situation is indeed a little worse now, but life has to go on, you still have your brother to take care of, if even you are not strong, you are afraid that it will be really difficult." ”
"Well, Brother Zheng, I know I know, don't worry, I will definitely live well." Zhang Chuxue wiped her tears, gritted her teeth and replied firmly.
Seeing that Zhang Chuxue gradually stopped crying and showed a firm gaze, Zheng Zhendong breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, in order to change the topic, Zheng Zhendong was curious, so he asked, "What about your mother?" ”
"Dead, long dead."
Zhang Chuxue's tone of reply was resolute, but there was a trace of panic in her eyes, obviously not telling the truth.
Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw her lying, but after thinking about it, what did this matter have to do with him, so he gave up asking.
After all, everyone has their own secrets, and since people don't want to talk about it, why should they be strong.
"Goo-doo... Goo-too..."
At this time, the medicine pot on the stove was boiling, and a trace of white gas came out, and after Zhang Chuxue saw it, he was about to bring the medicine pot down.
Zheng Zhendong hurriedly stopped: "Don't, you have to wait, don't be in a hurry." ”
"How long will it take? Brother Zheng. When Zhang Chuxue heard this, she immediately stopped and asked.
"Fry for a while, wait for the medicinal properties in the Chinese herbal medicine to dissolve, otherwise your brother will be useless if he drinks it, the Chinese medicine is boiled, I will tell you, don't worry!"
Zheng Zhendong explained, then opened the lid of the medicine pot with a rag, sniffed the fragrance of the medicine carefully, looked at the situation inside, and then closed the lid again.
"A few more minutes will do."
"Uh-huh, that's good, that's good."
Hearing Zheng Zhendong say that there were still a few minutes, Zhang Chuxue immediately felt a lot more relieved.
After a few more minutes, Zheng Zhendong saw that the medicine was decoctioned, so he took the medicine pot off the stove and poured it into the bowl prepared by Zhang Chuxue in advance.
After Zheng Zhendong finished pouring the medicine, Zhang Chuxue hurried the medicine bowl, walked a few steps, and came to the bedside to serve Zhang Yaoyang to drink traditional Chinese medicine.
After a while, after Zhang Chuxue finished feeding Zhang Yaoyang the medicine, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and asked Zheng Zhendong: "Brother Zheng, what do you do?" ”
"Students."
"Students? How can it be? ”
Hearing Zheng Zhendong say that she was a student, Zhang Chuxue's jaw was about to drop, and she opened her mouth wide, revealing a look of disbelief.
Zhang Chuxue never dreamed that Zheng Zhendong was a student.
She previously guessed that Zheng Zhendong was a street office worker, a worker in security, a prison guard, a driver and other professions.
But when Zheng Zhendong said that he was a student, his heart couldn't help but be full of doubts.
"Can I still lie to you, I'm really a student, and I'm studying at a technical secondary school in the Institute of Technology." Zheng Zhendong saw that Zhang Chuxue didn't believe it, and couldn't help but explain it to her.
"Ahh You're really a student, Brother Zheng. ”
Seeing the solemn look of what Zheng Zhendong said, Zhang Chuxue reluctantly believed it, but the words were still full of disbelief.
Zheng Zhendong was surprised to see Zhang Chuxue, and he didn't feel strange, after all, this matter made anyone think about it incredible, and then took out the student ID card in his pocket and showed it to her, "Well, this is my student ID card if it's fake, let's believe it." ”
Zhang Chuxue took the student ID card and looked at it carefully, and then returned it to Zheng Zhendong, but said in her mouth: "I believe it, I believe it, but...?" ”
"But what? You just ask, why bother and spit out? ”
Seeing that Zhang Chuxue wanted to ask questions, but didn't know how to speak, Zheng Zhendong encouraged her to be generous.
"Well, Brother Zheng, how did you meet my dad? Aren't you a student, supposedly you two shouldn't have crossed paths? ”
Zhang Chuxue nodded, gritted her teeth, and finally asked her doubts.
"This matter can't be explained in a sentence or two, you don't have to ask, anyway, you don't have to worry, I definitely don't have any malicious intent." Zheng Zhendong didn't want too many people to know about his family's affairs, so he said perfunctorily.
"Well, since you don't say it, then I won't ask." Zhang Chuxue nodded knowingly, after all, everyone has their own secrets, and since Zheng Zhendong doesn't say it, she can't ask anything.
After a while, Zhang Chuxue asked with a complicated expression, "Is my dad okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's good to be alive in that kind of place, don't think about anything else, hey!" Zheng Zhendong sighed and said, "Miss Zhang, do you want to write a letter to your father?" I'll bring it to you when I go to the farm. ”
"Letter? Can you really piggyback the letter in? Brother Zheng! Zhang Chuxue couldn't believe it, so she hurriedly asked Zheng Zhendong to confirm whether this was true.
Zheng Zhendong nodded and said, "Well, don't worry, my words count." ”
"It's just right, I'm going to go to 107 Farm again tomorrow, if you want to write a letter, write it quickly."
"Really?" Zhang Chuxue looked surprised, thought for a while, she restrained her smile, shook her head and said, "Forget it, Brother Zheng, I don't want to trouble you." ”
When Zheng Zhendong heard this, he couldn't help but nod secretly.
This girl knows how to think about others, and her humanity is really good.
Zheng Zhendong smiled, waved his hand, and said to Zhang Chuxue: "It's okay, you can just write, it's just a letter, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”
"Eh, that's okay, Brother Zheng, since that's the case, then I'll write one, and you wait for me for a while."
Zhang Chuxue nodded in agreement, then took out the letter paper and fell down on the table to write the letter.
Zheng Zhendong didn't bother too much when he saw her writing letters, so he was going to see how Zhang Yaoyang looked after drinking the medicine.
As soon as he came to the bedside, he saw that Zhang Yaoyang's face had begun to sweat at this time, and Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but let go of it.
Although he has studied medicine for a long time, after all, he has not seen many people, for fear that he will be careless and make a mistake for others, and now he sees that the symptoms are the same as he guessed, Zheng Zhendong can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After a while, Zhang Chuxue finally wrote the letter, looked up and saw Zheng Zhendong sitting on the edge of the bed, so he asked him: "Brother Zheng, how is my brother, is there any better?" ”
"It's much better, I guess I'll be able to get the fever off tomorrow." Zheng Zhendong nodded back.
"That's good, that's good, thank you so much, Brother Zheng!"
"You're welcome, since I've studied medicine, when I encounter this situation, of course I have to take a hand, otherwise it won't be in vain."
After Zheng Zhendong finished speaking, he said: "Miss Zhang, I see that your quilt is not only a little damp, but also very thin, how can you not get sick like this, why don't you make it thicker?" ”
Zhang Chuxue shook her head and smiled bitterly, and then said to Zheng Zhendong: "Hehe, Brother Zheng, do you think I don't want to?" It's not impossible, hey! ”
"I had a few good quilts at home, and that morning, I dried them on the rope outside.
But when I went to collect it in the afternoon, it disappeared, don't you say it's strange? ”
"Ah..., is there anything else going on?" Zheng Zhendong looked at Zhang Chuxue in surprise, and then asked, "It can't be that the neighbors in your yard have made a mistake, right?" ”
"I think so too, but no one admits it, I asked the uncle in the courtyard for help, and they promised to help me find it, but it's been more than a month, and they haven't found it, do you think it's funny?"
Zhang Chuxue was full of mocking words, so that Zheng Zhendong didn't know how to persuade her for a while, so he could only sigh faintly.
"Brother Zheng, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me, I've long been used to it, really!"
Seeing Zheng Zhendong sighing, Zhang Chuxue smiled and comforted him.
It's just that kind of laughter, Zheng Zhendong is very worried, thinking of his previous life, and there is a sadness in his heart that is difficult to erase for a long time.
Looking at the miserable Zhang family, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but feel compassion, so he took out the money from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Chuxue.
"Well, okay, my ability is limited, I can't help you too much, this is 300,000 (yuan), you take it, it's a little bit of my heart."
"Brother Zheng, I can't ask for it, you have helped me a lot today, how can I ask for your money!" Zhang Chuxue hurriedly refused.
"Be obedient, count me as borrowing you, otherwise how will you and your brother live, put it away, otherwise I will be angry." Zheng Zhendong saw Zhang Chuxue's refusal, and couldn't help but say with a blank face.
"But...!"
"But what is it, put it away, I don't lack this money, give it to you, you can take it."
After Zheng Zhendong finished speaking, he forcefully stuffed the money into Zhang Chuxue's arms, not giving her a chance to refuse at all.
"Okay, Brother Zheng, thank you, I borrowed this money from you, and when I have money in the future, I will definitely pay you back, thank you!" After Zhang Chuxue finished speaking, she bowed to Zheng Zhendong and put the money away.
Seeing that Zhang Chuxue accepted the money, Zheng Zhendong did not stop and prepared to go home.
"Miss Zhang, my family lives in No. 95 Courtyard of Nanluoguxiang, if you encounter anything in the future, you can go directly to the courtyard to find me, just go and ask my name, it's not early, I should go back, you give me the letter!"
"Hey, okay Brother Zheng, wait a minute, by the way, Brother Zheng, don't be a girl Zhang, my name is Zhang Chuxue, and everyone in my family calls me Chuxue, so you can call me that!" Zhang Chuxue picked up the letter on the table and handed it to Zheng Zhendong as she spoke.
"Zhang Chuxue, Zhang Chuxue, this name is quite good, it seems that your father was careful when he chose the name back then." Although Zheng Zhendong had known the girl's name for a long time, he still praised it.
After Zheng Zhendong heard this, Zhang Chuxue was a little unhappy, only to see her frowning and explaining: "What, I was born in Chuxue, my family sees me as a girl, in order to save trouble, so I gave this name, do you think they can work harder!" ”
"Huh? So that's what happened, okay, I'm lonely. Zheng Zhendong was stunned for a moment, but then added: "But your name is really good!" ”
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Brother Zheng." was praised by Zheng Zhendong, and Zhang Chuxue immediately showed an embarrassed and polite smile on her face.
"I'll call you Chuxue in the future, how about it?" Zheng Zhendong said with a smile.
"Yes, Brother Zheng, I'll still call you Brother Zheng, hehe!" Zhang Chuxue was rarely naughty.
"It's good if you like it, but it's not early, I'm really going back." After Zheng Zhendong finished speaking, he walked out.
"Chu Xue, if you encounter something in the future, go to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang to find me, don't forget, I'm leaving!"
Walking to the door, Zheng Zhendong turned his head and said another word, and then walked towards the courtyard with confidence.
"Okay, Brother Zheng, you slow down on the road, pay attention to safety, I won't send you!"
Zhang Chuxue listened to Zheng Zhendong's words, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and hurriedly shouted behind him.
"Go back and take care of your brother, I'm leaving."
Zheng Zhendong waved his hand and strode towards the outside of the courtyard.
Out of the eighteenth courtyard, Zheng Zhendong walked quickly to the car, and it took a long time to shake the car on fire.
Zheng Zhendong sat in the car, turned on the headlights, released the handbrake, put on the gear, stepped on the accelerator, the jeep started slowly, and galloped all the way towards Nanluoguxiang.
Because the distance is not very far, it is only a few turns away, Zheng Zhendong drove for a few minutes, and then arrived at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.
After finding an unobstructed place at the gate of the courtyard and parking the car, Zheng Zhendong hurriedly got out of the car and quickly walked towards the house in the middle courtyard with a crank.
Just a few steps away, Zheng Zhendong suddenly stopped, it turned out that he found out that he had gone out to patronize the labor camp today, and he had forgotten Zheng's mother's instructions in the morning.
Thinking that he didn't buy melon seeds and peanuts, Zheng Zhendong wanted to turn back and drive to buy something.
But seeing that it was getting late, the store had already closed, so I had to shake my head helplessly and continue to walk home.
