Chapter 23 The Happy Family(1/2)
Si Chen rode his bicycle all the way to the county hospital.
Mao Yuanchao was riding in the back seat, making a lot of noise along the way:
"Brother, when will you take me to the video room again?"
"I heard from my classmates that the new movie that came out recently is called "The Flying Dragon", but it stars Brother Long!"
"Also, Fa Ge also has a new movie out, called "Tiger Comes Out", and all our classmates have watched it."
"You don't know, the heroine in it, Li Zhi, holy shit, she has a hot figure!"
The naughty kid kept beeping.
These days, there are no movie theaters in Yuanmeng County, but there are video parlors that secretly play pirated CDs in nooks and crannies, and business is booming.
Of course, if you are not careful, you will be seized.
Because most of the video halls play Category III films.
Si Chen was pedaling the car while silently calculating in his mind:
I made 800 today and gave 500 back to my fifth aunt, leaving 300 left.
I gave 50 yuan to my sister, and it probably cost less than 10 yuan to visit Grandma Mao.
I originally had 330 left in my pocket, plus the 300 left today, subtracting 60, leaving 570.
Si Chen does not plan to repay the five hundred from Si Yuzhu for the time being. He must keep the money he has with him just in case.
Yan Lixia's condition is improving, but the hospital stay costs 40 yuan a day, which is indispensable.
These two four-legged gold-eating beasts need to buy something almost every day.
What's more, starting from tomorrow afternoon, the weather will clear up, which means that there will be no need for wild boar sacrifices.
However, Sichen's way of making money was never by hunting wild boars.
This 1,400 yuan is indeed quick money to solve an urgent need.
In his mind, he had already made his own plan. The key point was that he had to conquer the Seventh Sister Li Ge.
When the brothers returned to Si Xianglan's house, everyone in the house was waiting.
"Grandma, I'm here! I'm here to eat the meat!" Mao Yuanchao blew in with a gust of wind and came right in front of Mrs. Si, baring his teeth and saying "hehehehe."
"Skin monkey! You came here by smell, didn't you?" Mrs. Si laughed and scolded, but her eyes were full of doting.
"That's not true! I am clairvoyant and have an ear for the wind!" Mao Yuanchao slapped his chest, proudly.
"Do you have a dog nose?" Si Letian grinned in a destructive way.
The two of them immediately started fighting, going back and forth, it was so lively.
It's almost July, the weather is hot and it won't rain anymore, so I might as well move the dining table to the yard.
The whole family had a great meal happily.
Si Chen was thinking about Yan Lixia and hurriedly finished eating, then put the rice bowl and steamed buns that had been served in advance into the bamboo basket:
"Grandma, Aunt Hong, and uncle, you eat first, and I will deliver food to Lixia."
"Let's go, let's go, it's already six o'clock." Mrs. Si drank some wine, her face glowing red.
Wan Hong was so politely treated by Si Chen that she quickly put down her bowls and chopsticks, and awkwardly wiped her hands on her apron:
"Si Chen, you sit down and eat, and I'll deliver food to Li Xia."
"Aunt Hong, you eat, I will take care of Lixia, it will be more convenient."
"Let him go on his own. He must not take care of his own wife."
Mrs. Si took a handful of Wanhong and said, "Sit down and eat quickly!"
…
Si Chen carried the basket and quickly came to the ward.
The curtains on Yan Lixia's hospital bed were closed.
"What's wrong? You closed the curtain so early." Si Chen was a little surprised and said casually:
"Did someone else eat delicious food and make you want it?"
"No!" When Yan Lixia said this, she obviously lacked confidence.
"Oh, it's my fault. I should have come over earlier to feed you."
"Disgusting!" Yan Lixia scolded in a low voice.
"Try Aunt Hong's cooking, stewed pig's trotters. They are full of collagen, which is good for your wound recovery."
Si Chen said, and deliberately opened the curtain to release the poison.
The rich and delicious stewed pig's trotters fills the room with fragrance and makes your mouth water.
The other two mothers and pregnant women watched helplessly as Yan Lixia, who always kept the curtain open during meals, miraculously opened it.
Oh my God!
She actually wants her husband to feed her?!
Eat such good food and still be so pretentious? Tsk, tsk, tsk!
Especially Song Qianqian, who was on the hospital bed diagonally across from her. When she saw her doting attitude, and then thought about her husband, she felt sour in her heart.
Si Peng couldn't write a book to commemorate his young year. Seven years ago, Si Qingsong interceded and arranged for him to drive for the coal mine director in the town.
This coal mine director is none other than the husband of Si Qingsong's sixth sister, Si Xueqin.
If you drive for others, you will naturally be away from home all year round, and your boss will always be at your call, right?
At this moment, mother-in-law Aunt Liu has gone back.
Song Qianqian is alone here waiting for delivery, which is very sad.
In fact, that's what she did. Before the baby was due, she came to the hospital early to wait for delivery.
The doctor sent her away twice, saying she still had at least half a month left, so don't suffer here.
Song Qianqian is not pretentious, she must be in the hospital to show that her family values her.
Under normal circumstances, the baby will come to the hospital to wait for delivery when he shows signs of seizure or is feeling unwell.
Under normal circumstances, wouldn’t it be comfortable at home? Isn’t it more convenient?
Yan Lixia's face turned red and she whispered: "Si Chen, I'll eat by myself."
"Stay close, don't move, tell me I'll feed you." Si Chen looked serious and spoke softly.
In other people's eyes, good guy, this affectionate person is also whispering?
So sour!
The two pregnant women next to me have silently made a decision: I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow!
Si Chen was feeding him, then he deliberately came over and whispered:
"Grandma said that when you are discharged from the hospital, we will go back to live at home."
"Yeah." Yan Lixia thought she was going back to the adobe house in the brick factory, but couldn't help but worry about the children.
In that place, where adults live, there is draft in winter and rain in summer. There are many mosquitoes and it is deserted and remote.
The thought of the children going back to suffer the consequences made Yan Lixia feel extremely uncomfortable.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
But listen, Si Chen continued: "Aunt Hong said that we raise a lot of hens at home, so you can have meat to eat every day."
Before Yan Lixia could react, Si Chen said again:
"Old hen stewed soup is nourishing and can help you recover quickly."
"You, you mean, we live with Aunt Hong?" Yan Lixia said in surprise.
The brick house where Wan Hong and Si Letian live now was the earliest brick cave dwelling in Sijia Village.
There are five spacious and bright brick cave dwellings with a large yard.
There is a small garden built with bricks in the front yard, where vegetables and flowers can be grown.
There are two acres of land behind the house for raising chickens, pigs, vegetables, and fruit trees.
So beautiful!
New rural houses in Sijia Village, and even in the entire Yuanmeng County, are built according to this standard.
"Well, with Aunt Hong and grandma helping to take care of you and the children, I can make money without any worries."
As Si Chen spoke, he stared deeply into Yan Lixia's eyes and said softly:
"I used to be a bastard. I can't forgive you and I can't forgive Aunt Hong."
"From now on, you, the children, grandma, Aunt Hong, and Lotte are all my responsibilities."
Yan Lixia was speechless for a moment.
