Xia Zhi inquired for a long time before finally asking for the house number.

In these days, there is no house number at the door, so it is all up to inquiry.

When I came to the door, I heard a shouting sound coming from inside the door.

"Boss, what do you mean? Why didn't you send me my salary this month?

You don't know, the whole family has to eat. ”

Only a man's voice could be heard from inside.

"Mom, Chenghua is sick this month, and it took some money to be hospitalized, we are nervous this month, I'll bring it to you next month."

The man's helpless voice could hear the lack of heart.

As soon as he heard Chenghua, Xia Zhi knew that he had found the right door.

But she didn't rush in, she listened outside the door first, and figured out what the relationship was in this family.

"Mom also blamed me for my bad bones, and I was very sick this month, so I went to the hospital and stayed in the hospital for a few days.

Next month, next month, we pay our salary, so we will make up for this month. ”

A weak woman's voice came, and when she heard the voice, she knew that she was not confident enough, and she was coughing.

This kind of thing seems to be normal, after all, every family is like this in this year.

Being a son does not mean that if you are married, you will not care about it at home.

It is normal to take out some funds to help the family, after all, everyone has five or six children these years.

Even the size of the family adds up to a dozen people.

As soon as I heard that the other party was the boss, I knew that the eldest brother would definitely have more responsibilities at home.

This must be a very common thing, and the average old man will not hold on to it.

But it was clear that the old lady in the house did not think so.

Immediately I heard a roar in the house, and the voice was so sharp that everyone passing by couldn't help but poke their heads.

"Shen Chengyue, Shen Chengyue!

Who else do you have besides your daughter-in-law in your heart?

Since you married your daughter-in-law, what have you seen of our family?

Because I married such a sick son as her, I have taken medicine and seen a doctor for so many years, and I haven't given birth to a son and a half daughter for you. ”

"I don't know what you're trying to do, why did you marry such a woman?

If you had married Chunmei as I said, the children would have been born at this time, and if you look at the eldest son of the family, he is now about to graduate from elementary school.

But look at you, look at what you've been like.

She is a sick child, she doesn't go to work all day, and spends your money all day long, just like that, you are still willing to raise it.

Why don't you want your father and mother, and you don't want your family?

I said that I would give me 20 yuan a month for living expenses, what's the matter? Now I don't even raise my father and mother. ”

The woman's mean words made Xia Zhi understand at once that it was estimated that Aunt Chengyue would not have a good time in this family.

"Mom, I've really had trouble this month, which month have I been short at home?

This month, the sicker and sicker the serious hospitalization, it did cost some money.

I really don't have a penny on hand now, you can't let the two of us drink the northwest wind, right? ”

The man's voice was full of helplessness, and who knew that after saying this, the old lady in the house jumped to her feet.

"No, I'm telling you, even if you go to borrow money today, you'll have to take out 20 yuan for me.

Otherwise, don't blame me and your father for going to the factory to find your leaders to sue you for disloyalty. ”

"I have money to see my daughter-in-law and son, but I don't have money to take care of my parents, let's go out and reason and see if there is such a reason."

"Mother! Why do you have to make such a fuss?

I've asked my colleagues around me to borrow a lot of foreign debts, and these money haven't been made up, can't you let your son take a break? ”

"What are the reasons for borrowing those foreign debts? You don't count it in your own heart, how much money you make alone, you don't know the bottom in your heart.

Is 20 bucks more? 20 bucks is not much at all!

You can't even take out 20 yuan, what kind of man are you? ”

Xia Zhi heard that the man did not have any objections, and he also knew what the situation was in the house now, so he immediately made a decision and reached out to knock on the door.

It can be regarded as a relief for the two people in the house.

Sure enough, as soon as there was a knock on the door, the quarrel in the house immediately stopped, and only a man's voice was heard.

"Who?"

"Hello, comrade, is this Shen Chengyue's home?"

The door opened, the curtain was lifted, and a man almost fifty years old appeared.

He was still wearing the blue overalls of the factory workers, and the clothes were full of oil stains.

The beard is unshaven and has not been cleaned up.

On the bridge of his nose was a pair of black-rimmed glasses, which must have been broken several times, wrapped around with white tape.

Hunched back, looking crushed by life.

When he saw the summer solstice, he showed a kind smile, and at first glance, he should be an honest man with no temper.

"Comrade, you are looking for Shen Chengyue, Shen Chengyue is my lover, ...... are you?"

Xia Zhi smiled.

"Oh, it turns out that you are my little uncle, my name is Xia Zhi, and I am here to find my aunt Shen Chengyue."

The man was stunned for a moment, and reacted quickly.

"Oh, Xiao Xia, please come in, please come in!"

When Xia Zhi walked into the house, he saw an old lady with a fierce posture and standing in the center of the room.

I was a little uncomfortable the moment I saw myself, and I hurriedly put my hand down, obviously I wanted to be embarrassed.

Xia Zhi is relieved, if you want to be faced, you won't be splashing and rolling, and it doesn't seem to be ugly.

The old lady didn't care, and she didn't ask who Xia Zhi was, but turned her head and said to her son.

"I told you that I will go back first, and you will go home in the evening, this matter must be made clear."

Then he snorted coldly at the people in the room, turned around and left.

The door slammed, and the sound of the doorknob hitting the door frame was deafening.

The man in front of him was a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Xiao Xia, the old lady is a little angry about something today, that's why it's like this, usually she doesn't do this."

Xia Zhi smiled and didn't speak, only heard the man say towards the house.

"Satsuki, Satsuki, come and see who's coming."

Although he shouted into the house, he himself went over and lifted the curtain, and after a while, the man helped the woman out.

The woman looked very weak.

Pale face.

It's surprising that the whole person is thin, although malnutrition is common in these years.

But now it's been more than eight years, and basically there are still a lot fewer things like hunger.

Especially in the city, even if it is the supply, it can barely fill the stomach, so as not to be hungry like this.

But this thinness of a woman can be seen as an abnormal thinness.

It should be caused by perennial weakness and illness.

But from the facial features, it can be seen at once that the Shen Chenghua in front of him is indeed a bit similar to the old man.

It is certain that this is the daughter that the old man never forgets.
