0007 [Father's Kindness and Filial Piety]
"Stinky boy, are you still in the mood to smoke?"
Before Du Yongxiao could react, his ears were grabbed by his mother Li Cuilian.
"What the hell did you change careers to plainclothes for? What the hell did you offend Yan Xiong? What the hell is borrowing usury? β
"Let go, Mom, it hurts!" Du Yongxiao didn't expect his mother to be so tough, and he begged for mercy directly without smoking.
"Yes, wife, don't ask three times as soon as you open your mouth! Ah Hyo, he needs time to explain! Also, he's so old, and he's in plainclothes again, it's a shame for you to pull your ears like this! β
"Don't pry him, pinch you?" Li Cuilian said, "10,000 yuan, how can you pay it back?!" β
Du Cannon was busy covering his ears, "Then you still pinch him!" Ah Xiao, I'm sorry, I can't protect myself! β
Du Yongxiao was dragged into the house by his mother's ears, and his handsome image was gone.
"Listen to my explanation---- I took up a job in plainclothes because I was the first in the written test, and I didn't mean to offend Yan Xiong, as for borrowing money from loan sharks, don't worry, I have a way to solve it!"
Du Yongxiao finished his words in one breath, explained the reason for the matter in detail, and then said that there was no need for Li Cuilian to worry, he was now in plain clothes, and it was easy to pay off the account.
Where is Li Cuilian willing to believe it, 10,000 yuan is not a small amount, and if you don't do it, the whole family will die!
Looking at the four walls of the family, even if she really owes money, she has no problem.
Li Cuilian let go, and Du Yongxiao had palpitations.
Du Cannon played a round next to him and said: "10,000 yuan is not a lot, I used to do business in my hometown in Chaozhou, and I also made 10,000 yuan!" Besides, our family's Ah Xiao is a Wenqu star, you can see how much follow me, the first in the written test, so majestic! β
"Whatever your fart!" Li Cuilian scolded, "If you hadn't lost your family by gambling badly, Ah Xiao wouldn't have applied for the police exam!" Ah Shun will not go to the dock to do hard labor, and Ah Mei will not go to school and pay the tuition! β
Du Cannon was scolded bloody, but he didn't dare to say anything.
The Du family is from Chaozhou, with a total of five people in the family, and the original family is also very wealthy, doing soap business in Chaozhou. After coming to Hong Kong, Du Dacang took 30,000 yuan of capital, and originally planned to return to his old business, but who knew that he would be contaminated with gambling and soon lose his family.
"I don't want to! Am I not going to gamble for this family? If I win, we'll be in the thick of it! β
"Win a fart! Nine out of ten bets are lost, if you can win, I don't have to work in the plastic flower factory day and night! The more Li Cuilian spoke, the more angry she became, so she grabbed the feather duster and pumped it on her husband.
"Don't fight, don't fight! It's not good to be seen by children! Du Cannon hurriedly hid behind Du Yongxiao.
Du Yongxiao had to protect his father in turn, and Li Cuilian had to stop when she saw this, "You father and son don't have a good thing!" "Throw away the feather duster and go cooking.
Du Cannon patted his heart, "I'm scared to death, your mother is really, she doesn't give any face!" I'm also a man, and I want to save face! β
Du Dacang said and stood up again, hugging Du Yongxiao's neck: "Good boy, fortunately I gave you a good name, eternal filial piety, let you always be filial, know that you protect me in times of danger!" β
"Wouldn't it be better if you would help me name Yongfa? Fortune forever, Fortune! β
"Stinky boy, I'm going to make fun of your dad too!" Du Dacang patted Du Yongxiao on the shoulder, "Hurry up and take off this suit, let me try it on!" I haven't worn a suit for a long time, I used to wear a suit and tie to sell soap in Chaozhou, and everyone said that I was a pretty boy! β
Du Yongxiao just took off the white suit, and before he could hand it to his father, Li Cuilian had already snatched it from the stove, and patted it carefully with her hand, for fear that the suit would be stained by Du Cannon, and scolded: "You also wear such a good thing?" Look at this fabric, look at this handmade---- tomorrow Ah Xiao will rely on it to support the faΓ§ade, don't crumple it! β
Saying that, Li Cuilian found a clothing support, and wanted to hang up this suit, but her family was poor, and she couldn't even support herself, so she had no choice but to ask Du Cannon to temporarily find a piece of iron wire and bend a clothing support.
Here Du Dacang unwillingly propped up the suit, hung it in the corner, looked left and right, and felt that it was very compatible with him, and when he turned his head, he saw that his wife was staring at him, and he coughed busily: "I'm thinking about Ah Xiao, it seems that it is different from before." β
"What's the difference?"
"I used to be like a stuffy gourd, but now it's so fierce! And that walking posture, so dragged! I don't know, I think he's a big detective! β
Li Cuilian paused for a moment, and then slapped her husband on the head, "The boy I gave birth to, is there still a fake?" β
"Oh!" Du Cannon screamed and was busy protecting his head.
β¦β¦
As soon as the fire at the bottom of the stove rose, the second son, Du Yongshun, came back from work at the dock, still carrying five eggs in his hand.
Du Yongshun is fifteen years old this year, but he is powerful, he had a fever when he was a child, his brain was burned out, he had some intellectual problems, he could not read, and could only work under the dock.
Today he learned that his brother had returned from the New Territories and bought eggs for him to eat.
Du Yongxiao also felt very fond of his stupid brother, and when Du Yongshun finished washing his face, he took out the clothes he had changed and gave them to him.
Du Yongshun was very happy to wear "new clothes", opened his mouth and smirked, and said to his mother: "Grandma, I have new clothes to wear, which were given by my eldest brother!" β
Li Cuilian burned the fire to cook rice, and when she saw this, she said "um", her heart was sour, she felt that she owed the second child too much, if she hadn't been reluctant to spend money to see him for a doctor, she wouldn't have burned into a fool.
Du Yongxiao didn't feel good in his heart.
In the previous life, he was an orphan, relying on unscrupulous means to become a social elite, famous cars, mansions, and women, everything, except for the lack of family, God gave him so many family members in this life, he must cherish it.
"By the way, and these leather shoes!" Du Yongxiao took out the old leather shoes that had been polished and shiny.
Du Yongshun has been coveting these shoes for a long time, and when he saw this, he smirked and laughed.
"Sit down!" Du Yongxiao found a small wooden tie and asked the little guy to sit on it.
Du Yongshun is very obedient, like a big doll.
Du Yongxiao was not too dirty, squatted down, and directly helped the little guy take off the rag shoes that were about to show his big toes, and loaded and unloaded the goods at the dock for a day, the smell of the fine guy's feet hit immediately, but Du Yongxiao didn't dislike it at all, and even touched the thick calluses on the soles of the thin guy's feet with his hand, and looked up and asked, "Does it hurt?" β
"It doesn't hurt!"
"Silly!" Du Yongxiao's heart was hot, "Remember, I will let you wear more new clothes and new shoes in the future, so that you can be happy every day, can't you?" β
"Yes!" Du Yongshun smiled stupidly and clenched his fists again, "If anyone bullies you, you also tell me, I'll beat him!" β
Although Du Yongshun has a bad brain, he is not completely stupid, when he came back just now, he heard that the eldest brother offended the usury gold tooth expensive, and what Inspector Hua Yan Xiong, if he doesn't do it, he will suffer a loss, Du Yongshun has more eyes.
"Good! Our brothers work together, and their profits are golden! Du Yongxiao stood up and patted Du Yongshun on the shoulder.
β¦β¦
"Brother, you're back!" Just as Du Yongxiao was washing his hands, a sparrow-like little girl jumped in from outside, her delicate and lovely face full of surprise.
She is her younger sister, Du Yongmei, 12 years old, studying at the Charity Academy near Shek Kip Mei.
This academy belongs to the Christian College built with donations from the church, and all the children who go to school here must confess the Lord Christ and sing carols every day, so that they can study for free, but they have to charge money for food and lodging.
"yes, I haven't seen you grow taller in a few days!" Du Yongxiao wiped his hands and opened his arms to his sister.
Du Yongmei threw herself into Du Yongxiao's arms, looking up and smiling: "Did you bring me a gift?" β
"Yes!" Du Yongxiao touched her little brain melon and grabbed a handful of mints from her pants pocket, "Na, your favorite candy!" β
"Thank you, big brother! Or do you hurt me! Hee-hee! Du Yongmei took the candy and peeled it off to eat.
Li Cuilian, who was cooking next to her, said: "Eat less, beware of tooth decay!" β
Du Yongmei stuck out her tongue, picked up the freshly peeled mint candy and said to Du Yongxiao, "Open your mouth." β
Du Yongxiao opened his mouth.
Du Yongmei stuffed the sugar into his mouth, and then asked the second brother Du Yongshun to open his mouth and stuffed a piece of sugar into it.
Seeing this, Du Cannon also came over, squatted down, and opened his big mouth like a bird waiting to be fed.
"I won't give it to you! Hum! Du Yongmei said and ran over to stuff the peeled candy to her mother, and then peeled one and stuffed it into her mouth and ate it deliciously.
Du Dacang didn't feel good in his heart, and muttered: "The little girl doesn't treat me as a person? Without me, where are you! β
"Come and light the fire!" Li Cuilian ordered.
"Oh!" Du Cannon walked over.
Li Cuilian picked up the five eggs, wanted to boil the white-shell eggs, threw one down, and thought about making up for Du Yongxiao's body. looked at the second son again, sighed, and threw another one into the pot. One last glance at my daughter, I lost another one.
Du Cannon could see clearly, three of the five eggs were lost, and it seemed that he had no share of his own, so he swallowed and said, "Do you want to lose another one?" β
"Shame on you! You get your lost money back, and you don't know how much you can buy! β
Du Cannon hurriedly shrunk his neck and kept silent.
Li Cuilian sighed, let's click, tears smashed into the pot: "That's 10,000, if you can't pay it back, don't talk about eating eggs then, the whole family will eat ingots and candles!" β
Here, Du Yongxiao has a full view of everything and will report to the Kowloon Police Station tomorrow---
If you don't want to do it for yourself, even if it's for this family, you have to give it a go!
