Chapter 193: Lu Chengze lives in the Sheng family
Separated from Tong Hao, Sheng Qihui went home.
entered the house, but only Grandma Sheng and Sheng Jia were at home, and Su Ge and Sheng Rui were nowhere to be seen.
"What about Su Ge and Xiao Rui?"
Grandma Sheng was waiting anxiously, and when she saw him coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward.
"Hurry up and take a look, Xiao Rui said that something happened to fellow student Lu. He sent croquettes and sauerkraut in the afternoon, but he went for a long time before coming back, and when he came back, he took Su Ge away, saying that Lu's grandmother had passed away. ”
As soon as Sheng Qihui heard it, he knew that the classmate Lu in Grandma Sheng's mouth was Lu Chengze.
That child's grandmother passed away?
Why so suddenly?
He had heard Sheng Rui and Su Ge mention before that Lu Chengze and his grandmother, an old man and a young man, depended on each other, and his father was sent to the northwest, thousands of miles away, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
"They didn't say where Lu Chengze's family lives?"
"In Jinyang Hutong."
"Auntie, you take Xiaojia to wait at home, I'll take a look."
Sheng Qihui gave a word of advice and hurriedly went out.
At this time in Jinyang Hutong, Su Ge and Sheng Rui rushed to Lu Chengze's house, and as soon as they entered the door of the Lu family's house, Su Ge couldn't help but feel sad.
The Lu family lived in a serious house at all, a small room next to the ear room.
The walls were made of thin wooden planks, the roof was covered with straw, and only one wall had a small window with no glass on it, and it was pasted with Korean paper.
At this time of the Spring Festival, although spring has begun, the spring is cold and the weather is still very cold.
It's hard to imagine how Lu Chengze and his grandmother survived in this residence.
When they arrived, Lu Chengze's grandmother had already lost her breath, and Lu Chengze lay next to him crying with tears on his face, sobbing and kneeling on the side of the bed.
The Lu family lives in a large courtyard, but the structure here is much more messy and dilapidated than the courtyard where the Sheng family lives.
A large compound was divided into six or seven small courtyards, each of which was crowded with more than a dozen families.
In short, the yard is messy, and the people who live in it are people with more difficult conditions.
Because of the composition of the Lu family, there are very few people in the compound who have contact with them.
But the housekeeper and a few enthusiastic neighbors still came, and everyone sighed and sighed, worried for Lu Chengze.
"I don't know if there are any other relatives, he can't live by himself as a child."
An aunt said.
The other aunt shook her head, "He's just one of his grandmother's relatives, oh, yes, and that ...... His dad can't count on it at all. ”
"What can I do in the future, it's really sad."
These neighbors are living in a tight situation at home, and they see Lu Chengze pitiful, but they really can't help it.
Seeing Su Ge come in, several people looked at her, whispered, and asked each other who this big-bellied pregnant woman was?
I've never seen it in the Lu family, is it a distant relative?
The housekeeper stepped forward and asked Ming Suge's identity, and after learning that she was Lu Chengze's classmate's aunt, the housekeeper showed a disappointed look on his face.
He originally had a glimmer of hope, thinking that it was a relative or something, at least Lu Chengze could have a trust.
turned out to be just a classmate's aunt.
This relationship has nine twists and eighteen turns, and it can't be relied on at all.
"Are you here?"
Uncle Steward asked.
Su Ge said: "My nephew and Lu Chengze are good friends, I heard that his grandmother passed away, I will see if there is anyone who can help." ”
"You're so kind-hearted. The main thing is to do his grandmother's funeral as soon as possible, but now that the New Year is over, he is resting everywhere, and it is really difficult to do it at this time. ”
Su Ge heard the implication of his words, during the Chinese New Year, it is not the same price as usual, the price is higher.
In the current situation of the Lu family, it is obvious that they can't come up with this money.
The people in this compound are all bitter, and it is impossible to pay this money.
Su Ge took out twenty yuan from his coat pocket and gave it to the housekeeper.
"You take these first, and I'll solve the problem of money, but I need the help of the people in the compound to take care of it. I also know that the New Year is really troublesome for everyone, but it happened suddenly, please bear with me. ”
Uncle Steward didn't expect that the aunt of Lu Chengze's classmate in front of him took out twenty yuan without saying a word, and he was a little surprised.
However, he wished that someone would be willing to pay, so naturally he wouldn't say anything more, and agreed to it.
The housekeeper took a few people to work on Grandma Lu's funeral, and Su Ge went to see Lu Chengze's situation.
Lu Chengze's eyes were crying like peaches, swollen and tall, and he was still sobbing at this moment, and his tears couldn't help but fall.
Sheng Rui was by his side, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Su Ge for help.
Su Ge walked over and took out a handkerchief to help Lu Chengze wipe his tears.
"Cry if you want. With me and Sheng Rui by your side, remember, you are not alone. ”
Her gentle tone made Lu Chengze's tears even more fierce.
Su Ge sighed, remembering himself in his previous life.
Her parents left when she was three years old in a car accident, leaving her with a large inheritance.
Relying on this money, she has a worry-free life, but since she was a child, she has not experienced the warmth of her relatives.
All she had to do was the wolf-like relatives who were eyeing her and wanted to snatch her fortune out of her.
Therefore, whenever she sees Lu Chengze, she always thinks of her past self.
When Lu Chengze was tired of crying and finally stopped his tears, Sheng Qihui also rushed over.
Su Ge asked Sheng Rui to stay with Lu Chengze for a while, and went over to discuss his matter with Sheng Qihui.
"It's not easy for an eleven-year-old child to live here alone. Moreover, this environment is impossible to live in, and I don't know how he and his grandmother have survived for so many years. ”
As soon as Sheng Qihui entered the house, he saw the environment in the house clearly, and it was indeed too sinful to live here.
"What do you think? Take him to our house? ”
"Is that okay?"
Su Ge thought so, but she couldn't make up her mind alone, and she had to depend on Sheng Qihui's opinion.
"Of course, no problem, but it's just a matter of more pairs of chopsticks. Xiao Rui's bed was big enough for them to sleep in one bed at night. After a while, I said to Lu Chengze, your face is not very good, go home and rest first, there is me here. ”
Su Ge ran all the way, and his emotions experienced ups and downs, and he was indeed a little tired.
She didn't take it easy, handed over the follow-up to Sheng Qihui, and went home first.
In the evening, Sheng Qihui carried Lu Chengze's small luggage and led him home.
Sheng Rui followed behind, learning that Lu Chengze would live at home in the future, and the two could stay together every day, it was difficult to hide the excitement in his eyes, but his little face was tight, and he didn't dare to show it when Lu Chengze was sad.
Grandma Sheng went to clean up Sheng Rui's bed and replaced it with a larger quilt, which was enough for the two of them.
The Sheng family brought back a child, and soon the rest of the compound would know.
Widow Meng, who loves to chew the root of her tongue, and Aunt Xu got together and muttered whether the Sheng family's head was kicked by a donkey, and her own family couldn't raise it, and she had to raise other people's children.
Grandma Sheng passed by and happened to hear the conversation between the two, and said, "What, was you kicked by the two of you?" It's really salty and eating radishes and worrying about it, it's your! ”
Then Shi Shiran left.
Leaving Aunt Xu and Widow Meng, the two old faces turned into the color of pig liver.
