Extra 3: Brother
In a life of suffering, Yan Qingwen can be happy in suffering.
For him, as long as his mother is alive, he has hope of living.
It wasn't until she took care of her mother that she ate and drank water, and it wasn't until Shi Nianjiu fell asleep that Yan Qingwen had her own time.
After cleaning the small hut, he began to cook for himself, and he could not cook it in the house for fear of waking his mother, and even though it was cold outside, he still made a fire outside and cooked porridge.
The winter in the north is really difficult, even charcoal is a big expense, fortunately he can go to the back mountain to pick up some firewood and come back, no matter how bad it is, he can also pick up some firewood that others don't want, and barely be able to survive this winter.
Luckily, he still has an electric blanket, so at least his mother won't get frozen.
Yan Qingwen just roasted the fire, and when the vegetable porridge was cooked, he held the pot and ate it.
Shen Xingzhi was about to step forward, but was stopped by Nanxing.
Why did Yan Qingwen leave back then, wasn't it because of self-esteem? Now if they go out rashly, won't they shatter Yan Qingwen's dignity?
He didn't want to be seen in such embarrassment.
The two of them left quietly, wanting to go to the town for one night, but after thinking about it, they went to disturb the village chief's house.
Nanxing donated a sum of money to the village as the boss of Yuanxing Capital, and learned about the situation in the village by the way.
For outsiders like Yan Qingwen, the village chief will pay special attention.
"It's a very honest person, just live with a mother, two people live in the innermost part of the village, the small courtyard is deserted, I symbolically asked for some money to live for them, he has no job, a person with a name crepe, but no culture, and then I arranged for him to do chores in school, and he can earn five or six hundred a month."
The village chief took a puff of dry tobacco, spit out the smoke ring and continued: "Of course, the life of the two people is not good, the eldest sister is not in good health, and she has to take medicine all year round, most of the people in our village are old people and children, and the children have no heart, and the old people are too, everyone will occasionally help them, but the village is also poor, and they can't keep the young people. ”
Speaking of this, the village chief looked at the two people in front of him with a pair of eyes, and the dry smoke knocked on the stove on the side before the village chief spoke: "Is it true that you said that you want to invest five million?" I'm not afraid of your jokes, let alone five million, the village can't take out 10,000 yuan, and if this money is really invested, you have to ask the city...... I appreciate your help to the village! ”
Shen Xingzhi took over the words and forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart: "Don't worry, this money will be donated to the village through official channels, I think the roads in the village are not very good, first build roads, then repair houses, and then hope primary school, the elderly and children in the village also need to be guaranteed, and my wife and I will continue to invest money in the follow-up......"
"I'll take the liberty of interrupting." The village chief is old, but he is not confused, why has the village not developed for so many years, is because the village has no value, the geographical location is not good, and there is no planting land and breeding land, what does the village want, why should rich entrepreneurs come to invest in such a place?
But now that the New Year is approaching, two people suddenly came, making the future plan of the village clear, this is to take them out of poverty! Rich people can't spend money so indiscriminately, if they don't give them something in return for the village, right?
The village chief doesn't have to think about it to know that this is related to that outsider Yan Qingwen!
As soon as people came, they kept asking Yan Qingwen, this is for Yan Qingwen!
It's strange to say, those two people are living so pitifully, how can there be two friends who are so rich?
The village chief didn't want to sell Yan Qingwen in a daze, so he didn't mention the investment, and asked directly: "What is the relationship between you and Qingwen's child?" ”
Nanxing and Shen Xingzhi did not hesitate at all, and said in unison: "It's my brother." ”
Brother?
That's a relative?
"Since it's my brother, why did you come to see him after the New Year? That kid is really bitter, he uses everything good for his mother, and gives it to his mother, he is a big man who doesn't even have a hundred and twenty pounds, and he is skinny and skinny. The village chief frowned.
"I'm not suspicious of you for anything, I just can't understand why Qingwen is ......so rich that you are so rich."
"Uncle Fan, I know what you mean, after chatting for so long, I can feel that you are a warm-hearted and kind-hearted elder, my husband and I should not bother you with our own private affairs, but we haven't seen each other for a few years, and we dare not bother my brother rashly."
Shen Xingzhi held Nanxing's hand and took over: "This matter is a long story, and the thing is like this......"
The village chief listened quietly and made sure that these two people were not bad people, so he called his wife over: "Bring the rice!" It's cold these days, remember to boil another bowl of ginger syrup to drive them away. ”
Nan Xing and Shen Xingzhi glanced at each other and smiled silently, it was a good thing for the village chief to prevent them, which proved that this village would not be bad, and it also proved that Yan Qingwen had really been helped to live here, which made Nan Xing and Shen Xingzhi's heavy mood soothe a little.
The two of them were not squeamish, they followed the customs, and after eating something simply, Aunt Fan made the bed and burned the house warm.
The car of the two people was parked outside the village, they didn't bring anything, fortunately there were some snacks in the bag, the granddaughter and grandson of the village chief's family were a little older than her two, five or six years old, Nanxing distributed snacks and candy to them, although the two children were still shy, they were willing to talk to Nanxing and Shen Xingzhi.
also took the initiative to come up: "If you don't dare to go to the toilet at night, you are here, I will help you pour it out tomorrow!" ”
The little granddaughter swallowed the snack and spoke: "This room is very clean, you can rest assured, and it is winter, there will definitely be no little mice running out, this quilt is my mother's quilt when she got married, grandma has been putting it, no one has covered it, auntie, don't dislike it." ”
"How can Auntie dislike it, I want to thank your grandparents for their enthusiasm, it's not too early, go to bed, see you tomorrow."
When the two children were about to leave, they suddenly turned around, the little girl thought about it, and still told Nanxing: "Are you really Brother Qingwen's family?" He is really pitiful, during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, I saw him crying, he secretly cried alone, but when he looked at us, he was smiling all the time. ”
Nanxing's heart ached, and he looked at Shen Xingzhi, and sure enough, his face was not very good, and his eyes were full of guilt and sadness.
It's too late today, she is afraid that if she listens to it any longer, she will hug Shen Xingzhi and cry, as long as she waits, they will be able to meet after dawn.
But this night, the village chief went to Yan Qingwen's house in the dark......
