Chapter 4

"I really can't. I'll give him something back when Xiao He comes next time!"

Aunt Xu is not a cheap person. Although a watermelon is worthless, she can't ask others for it in vain.

Besides, aunt Xu, as a retired old worker, has at least some vigilance.

Aunt Xu likes Xiao He, but these days, unlike when they were young, everyone looks at money, and there are a lot of tricks outside.

Like aunt Xu, an old lady living alone with a high pension and filial children is often the key target of swindlers.

Aunt Xu put the watermelon in the kitchen, went to the second bedroom and found several sets of newborn gift boxes on the bed.

Although the eldest grandson returned to the provincial capital with his wife and children, the news that they had children in their hometown was also known to relatives and friends.

When relatives and friends go to the hospital to visit, they will bring some gifts.

For the practical type, just send some eggs and milk.

Face type, will send a fruit basket or a newborn gift bag.

This gift box is exquisitely packaged, but the contents are just some little monk clothes and small bags.

Children grow fast. Two sets of such small clothes and small bags are enough.

But there are several gift boxes sent by relatives and friends, which can't be used up at all.

When Aunt Xu's grandson left, he left several sets.

Looking at these gift boxes, aunt Xu estimated the value: it's much more valuable than a watermelon.

However, seeing that Xiao He is so proficient in human and worldly skills, if he comes to the door again, he should also bring some small gifts.

Two for one, everyone won't suffer!

Aunt Xu secretly planned and was still wary of he Hongtu.

He Hongtu didn't know this. He came out of aunt Xu's house and didn't hurry home. Instead, he turned the corner and went to another block.

"Uncle Chen, it's me, Xiao He! Are you better today? Have you had dinner?"

He Hongtu entered a dormitory. He came to a building and pressed the intercom on the access control.

"Xiao He, come in!"

A slightly old male voice came out of the phone, followed by a click, and the anti-theft door was opened.

Enter the floor hole of the unit door and come to the east house on the first floor. The door has been opened.

He Hongtu pushed the door in, but when he came in, he didn't forget to say hello: "Uncle Chen, I'm in!"

After entering the door, he Hongtu smelled a smell mixed with the smell of food.

He Hongtu's face didn't respond, so he went into the living room with a smile.

"Xiao He, did you eat? Oh, I'm sorry I couldn't help you last time. I thought --" you won't come to my house in the future.

It was an old man in his 60s and 70s. He was white and fat with gray hair. The whole man looked very rich. It was obvious that he was an old man who had a good life.

"Haven't eaten yet! My daughter-in-law has given birth to children these days. I wait in the hospital every day, so I don't have time to come and see you. How are you? Are you recovering well?"

He Hongtu didn't seem to see the slightly embarrassed smile of the old man. He was as kind and attentive as ever.

He looked at the living room. There were two freshly fried dishes on the wall table, and there was a nanny like person busy in the kitchen.

Not long after, the nanny came out with a stainless steel basin and said to the old man like a show of merit: "Uncle Chen, I went to the vegetable market today and saw new flowers. I specially bought some for you. I'll boil it first today. You can taste it. If you like it, I'll fry some peanuts for you tomorrow!"

Before the old man could speak, he Hongtu said first, "peanuts? Absolutely not. Uncle Chen is allergic to peanuts!"

The nanny's smile froze. She looked at he Hongtu and old man Chen.

Old man Chen nodded slowly with a wooden face. He is really allergic to peanuts. As long as he eats a little, he will have difficulty breathing and rash.

The nanny became more and more embarrassed and explained, "what, Mr. Chen didn't say you can't eat peanuts when he told me."

When a son doesn't know that his father can't eat peanuts, how can she know when she's a nanny who hasn't been here for two days?

The nanny said this and found that the old man's face was darker.

On a little thought, the nanny understood that his son didn't know his father was allergic to peanuts, and it wasn't a happy thing for the old man.

The nanny opened her mouth and wanted to say something more, but she didn't know what to say. She simply pretended to look at the time and glanced at the quartz watch hanging on the wall.

She said deliberately, "it's almost half past five, Uncle Chen. I, I should go!"

She is not a housekeeper, but a hourly worker.

When Chen's son hired her, he agreed to cook two meals a day and clean and wash clothes by the way.

Come at noon and leave in the afternoon. It's exactly five hours.

"... OK, you go!"

Old man Chen opened his mouth and stopped talking, but in the end, he didn't say the unspeakable words from the bottom of his heart, but nodded to let the nanny leave.

Seeing the nanny off, he Hongtu put down his basket, gathered in front of old man Chen's wheelchair and asked softly, "Uncle Chen, have you solved your big hand?"

He Hongtu took care of the old man's self-esteem and didn't directly ask him if he pulled his pants.

Old man Chen still flushed with embarrassment and embarrassment.

He Hongtu didn't think so. He rolled up his sleeves and directly pushed the old man to the bathroom.

He Hongtu put down the cover of the toilet, then directly picked up Uncle Chen and let him sit on the toilet.

He held the old man in one hand to prevent him from slipping and undressed him in the other.

He Hongtu threw his dirty trousers aside, picked up the shower and began to clean up the dirt for the old man.

After taking a bath, I changed him into clean clothes, and then put him back into the wheelchair.

"... Xiao He, it's really, really troublesome for you. You, you don't have to -"

That day in the park, Uncle Chen accidentally broke his leg. Xiao he found him and enthusiastically helped him to the hospital.

During the period of recuperation, Uncle Chen had difficulty moving. Although his son hired a nanny, those people were not very dedicated.

Or Xiao He comes to help every day, helps him go to the bathroom and cleans him. It's more considerate than the kind of nurse who needs to spend a lot of money.

Last week, Xiao He asked him for help. It was not a big deal. He just asked him to help get together.

But the son heard that he was a liar and shouted at the phone not to let the old man go.

Uncle Chen was worried about his son and worried that Xiao He really had another plan, so he didn't promise.

Later, Xiao He didn't come to the door again.

When his son heard about it, he was even more proud: "I said he was a liar. What to save people? What help? It's all for money!"

"Now if you don't take the bait, you'll simply slip away!"

"Dad, you can be careful in the future. Don't be sold and count money for others!"

"There is no love for no reason in the world. You can't get up early without profit. People coax you like your ancestors. Why? It's not for the money in your trouser pocket!"

But after listening to what Xiao He said just now, Uncle Chen knew that his wife had a baby, so he didn't come.

I don't really have a problem with him.

More and more not a liar!

In fact, what if it's a liar?

Uncle Chen sat in a wheelchair fresh all over and looked at the figure who gave him noodles in the kitchen. Such an idea suddenly came into his mind
