"Go to the room and read a book obediently. Dad will come later."
"Ang, okay."
Xie Hui bought him a few new picture books, coaxed Xie Chu to go back to the room first, and followed Lao Li to the balcony.
Lao Li lit a cigarette, took a sip, looked at Xie Hui who came over, thought of what the leader said, sighed and said:
"Brother, I want to keep your son here, but a leader came down to inspect it before and said that there are children in the construction site that are not in compliance with the rules."
Hearing this, Xie Hui already understood the general idea.
"Look, when you go to the construction site with us in the future, how about leaving that child Xie Chu here and let my wife look after it for you?"
Lao Li received the news last night, but he still didn't know how to tell Xie Hui. Seeing that the leader sent a message to urge him, he couldn't get over this matter, so he brought it up to Xie Hui.
"Brother Li can't do it now, I'll think of another way."
Xie Hui knew that Lao Li was a good person, so he asked his wife to take care of the children for him. But I originally came here to work for Boss Li, so how could I trouble his wife to take care of the children for me.
"It's fine, you can stay here for the time being, and wait until you find a suitable place. Anyway, I'm renting this house until next year, so don't worry."
Lao Li took a deep puff of his cigarette. He couldn't decide this matter, but he really couldn't bear to drive the father and son out.
"Okay, sorry to trouble you, Brother Li."
After returning to the room, Xie Hui looked at Xie Chu sitting on the bench reading seriously, sighed and began to think about the future.
Bringing a child, no matter which construction site is probably afraid to take them in. For the time being, I don't have the conditions to send the child to the nursery, even if there is, I don't want to thank you.
Walking over and rubbing his little head, Xie Chu subconsciously leaned against his father when he saw it was his father.
That afternoon, Xie Hui took Xie Chu out, intending to find out what he could do. Compared to before, he now has a month's salary on hand.
Because he worked hard enough, after spending part of it, he still has 6,000 left.
Xie Chu thought his father was taking him out to play, and he used his short legs to jump around happily.
The whole afternoon, Xie Hui didn't think of a way out. When he was about to go back, he passed by a small alley, but unexpectedly saw a notice that he was going to sell on a small cart.
It's the kind of fried food trolley that is very common at the school gate. It looks a little worn out, and the contact number is posted under the notice. Xie Hui silently wrote down the phone number, and already has an idea in his mind.
Xie Chu has been by his father's side all the time. He is very smart. After seeing his father's behavior, after his father finished memorizing it, he asked carefully:
"Dad, do we have no place to live again?"
The reason why he couldn't continue to stay there was because it was not in compliance with the regulations to bring children to the construction site, but Xie Hui definitely couldn't tell him directly for this reason.
This brat was originally insecure because of the ideas instilled in him by the client before, and Xie Hui didn't want to tell him the truth of the matter again, making him think that his existence was a drag.
I found a sidewalk, sat on a bench resting on the side of the road, hugged the little boy on my lap, and said softly:
"What if Dad doesn't want to do that? Dad feels very tired."
Xie Chu didn't even think about it, so he moved into his father's arms, stretched out his hand and hugged his father's neck, and rubbed against his father comfortingly.
"Then dad won't do that. We can go back to our hometown. I won't listen to what those people say. Dad doesn't have to worry."
"Father, I won't be unhappy because others say my mother doesn't want me anymore, because I have the best and most outstanding father in the world."
Xie Hui originally just wanted to confuse this matter, but he didn't expect to hear this little guy talking to him so seriously.
Looking down into his clear and clean eyes, do you really not care? Thank you for not believing me.
Even adults may not be able to turn a blind eye to other people's offensive remarks, let alone such an old child. Compared to him not really caring what others say, Xie Hui is more willing to believe that he is being stubborn.
"But what if Dad likes this place more? Does Chu Chu want to go back?"
Upon hearing Xie Hui's words, Xie Chu frowned in confusion, sighed helplessly, patted his father's back like a little adult, and said in a low voice:
"Then let's stay here."
"Well, then Dad wants to try making that?"
They only took two steps, not far from the location just now, Xie Hui pointed to the car.
Xie Chu leaned on his father's shoulder, clenched his little meaty hands and waved in front of his father.
"Then I'll help Dad push the cart together!"
"it is good."
That night, Xie Hui added the person who wanted to sell the car, because it was a second-hand car, and it was not a particularly luxurious fried skewer car, and there were some tools used in the fried skewers, etc., packaged and sold Thank you, the total is three thousand seven.
In the early morning of the next day, Lao Li gave Xie Hui the salary he had worked for the past half month, and added a little more himself, giving him a total of 5,000.
"Brother Li, it's not easy for you to support your family by yourself. How can I take so much from you? It should be as much as you want."
Lao Li avoided the hand he wanted to refuse, stuffed the money into Xie Hui's clothes, waved his hand and said a word, then turned around and went out the door.
"It's not easy for you to bring a child to find something to do, so don't refuse. At worst, you'll do well in the future. Come and see us when you have time."
Lao Li's wife is not here now, and Xie Hui really needs money at this time, thinking about paying it back later, with the money, he went out and rented a house with a small courtyard.
After renting the place, Xie Hui packed his luggage, greeted Lao Li's wife, and moved to the place.
After the money for the fried skewer car was transferred, the owner of the fried skewer sent the car over.
On the first day when he arrived at this place, Xie Hui did a simple cleaning first, and then took Xie Chu to buy some daily necessities. On the first night after temporarily settling down, Xie Chu's eyelids went up and down while taking a bath. Start fighting.
Xie went back to the bedroom where he carried him, put him on the bed, and helped him cover the quilt.
The environment of this rental house with a small yard is just average. Although it is dilapidated and simple, the lighting is good.
Lying on the bed this time, I really felt at ease in my heart.
On the morning of the next day, Xie Hui and Xie Chu cleaned up the grilled skewer cart together, cleaned up every corner, and took Xie Chu to buy various raw materials for fried skewers when it was drying.
There are ready-made meat skewers for sale, and fried vegetables need to be prepared by yourself. I bought wooden skewers, fresh vegetables, and some seasonings.
This whole afternoon, Xie Hui was very busy. Fortunately, Xie Chu is very obedient, and he is very serious in helping.
Fortunately, the landlord left behind a refrigerator, so that these ingredients can have a preservation environment. After making preparations before starting a small business, Xie Hui went to observe carefully, and found a school gate that didn't sell many fried skewers.
This kind of skewer car, as long as it is hygienic, the general business will not be too bad. In addition, the sauce was prepared by Xie Hui himself. After all, he is also a five-star chef. Whether it is tomato or hot sauce, the taste is very special.
The landlord of the small yard they rented was old and liked a well-behaved child like Xie Chu very much. Seeing that their father and son were planning to start a business, he even gave them a loudspeaker at home.
Xie Hui felt that the smell of the food was more important than the shouting, so he didn't care much about it. But Xie Chu liked it very much. After the kindergartens were over, he turned on the speaker with his hands on the speakers, and began to yell very enthusiastically in a small milky voice.
"Fried skewers, super delicious fried skewers~ come and try the delicious fried skewers~"
Although no one bought it, Xie Hui still fried a portion of meat and a portion of vegetables first. After the aroma spread, several people came over and asked the price.
Xie Hui coated the freshly fried one with tomato sauce and handed it to the yelling brat.
Those who came to buy were more or less relieved when they saw this scene. Since the stall owner can feed his son, it means that the hygiene of this food is guaranteed.
In the beginning, there were only two people scattered here and there, but Xie Hui couldn't keep busy with so many people later on.
After seeing off the last customer, Xie Hui first checked that there were not many ingredients left in it, and then looked at the money earned today displayed on his mobile phone, and heaved a sigh of relief.
It was his first time doing this and he had no experience at all. Judging from the collection, the business is quite good.
"Chu Chu, go, go home."
"Come on."
After Xie Chu responded, he put the horn away, and then he thought about it, and helped him push it together as he told his father before.
Before touching his hand, Xie Hui picked him up and put him on the car.
"Dad, you are so stupid, you have to push me one more time!"
"You eat more food from now on, and you can help Dad when you grow up."
Once again being dismissed as a small person, Xie Chu puffed up his cheeks a little unhappy. According to what he knew about his father, since his father had already spoken out, there was basically no room for turning around.
Sighing, he sat down on the small bench and waited for his father to push him back.
Xie Hui found out during his previous inspection that besides the school, the business in those squares at night is also pretty good. Originally, I planned to go home and have dinner after the school sold out, and then try to go to the square.
Unexpectedly, he didn't prepare enough ingredients today. When he closed the stall and went back for dinner, there were only two bunches of leeks left.
After returning to the yard of the rental house, I cleaned up the small cart first, and locked it after it was done. In the room, Xie Chu had already begun to obediently read the book.
Xie Hui took out the vegetables he bought earlier from the basket, went to the kitchen to fry two dishes and made some soup, and when he was done, he yelled, and Xie Chu ran out in a hurry.
Going to the kitchen, Xie Chu took the initiative to serve the rice with bowls and chopsticks, and when it was brought to the table, Xie Hui also brought the dishes to the table.
Xie Chu didn't know how much money he made with his father today, but seeing so many customers, he felt very satisfied.
"Dad, do you want to buy more things tomorrow?"
There were still a few customers behind, and they left because they didn't have anything they wanted to eat. Xie Chu still felt a little pity when he thought about it.
"You can prepare a little more for those that are easy to sell today."
In terms of food, Xie Hui has no habit of hoarding goods. Fresh ingredients are more reassuring. What's more, the place where they sell it is at the entrance of the kindergarten, and they are all children who are about the same size as his son, and he dare not sell them if they are not clean.
"Then dad, do you still remember the ones that were sold?"
After Xie Chu took two mouthfuls of food, he couldn't help but start worrying again.
"I remember."
After the meal, Xie Hui washed the dishes. The brat insisted on helping, but Xie Hui didn't scold him, but taught him how to clean the dishes that had been washed with dish soap.
"Dad, I am so happy today."
While bathing him, Xie Hui suddenly heard his words.
"Huh? Why are you happy?"
"Because Dad has earned a lot of money, and he didn't work so hard like before that his hands were covered with blisters, so he can still make money."
The more Xie Chu thought about it, the happier he became. After laughing twice, he got up from the bathtub and kissed his father.
"Daddy is the best!"
Xie Hui hooked his lips helplessly, this is really a real little sycophant.
Putting on pajamas and lying on the bed, Xie Chu was still so happy that he couldn't fall asleep, so he just lay there, propped his chin with both hands, and stared at the door of the bedroom, waiting for his father to come back.
As soon as Xie Hui walked into the bedroom door, he heard Xie Chu's voice first.
"Dad is so cute, my dad is the most cute dad in the world."
"It's time to sleep, Chu Chu."
"Understood, just kiss Dad and go to bed."
…
The next day, Xie Hui prepared slightly more ingredients than yesterday, and kept some at home, planning to sell them in the square at night.
Now he is very short of money, and this little boy will go to kindergarten next year.
Selling this next to the square at night is obviously not as good as the business at the school gate. Xie Hui sat on the stool and fried two skewers for his son.
At this moment, a car stopped at the intersection, and a middle-aged man in unusual clothes came out after the door opened.
I was walking briskly at first, but attracted by the scent of this small vendor, my pace started to slow down involuntarily.
Before Xie Hui found out, Xie Chu had already found the business opportunity first, got out of his father's arms, tiptoed to look at the uncle, and said loudly:
"Uncle, do you want to buy fried skewers? It's delicious."
When Gu Jingtong heard the child's voice, he subconsciously turned his head and took a look. Sensing that he was looking at him, Xie Chu waved at him.
"Uncle, why don't you buy fried skewers?"
It was rare for Gu Jingtong to see such a cheerful and cute kid, standing in front of the fried skewer cart, pointing a few things through a layer of glass.
"Dad, hurry up and make fried skewers."
Xie Chu wrote down what the uncle wanted, and turned to urge Xie Hui.
While waiting for the fried skewers to be ready, Gu Jingtong received a call and stepped away a few steps away. When he answered the phone, his tone was obviously impatient.
"Where do you want me to find the right person? I can't make you a little actor for no reason, can I?"
