Chapter 23 Courtesy
"Zhiqiu, I don't want to see my mother suffer like this, but you know, your second sister-in-law and I have been weaving bamboo weaving for half our lives, and the little money we earn is used for Huang Zhao and Huang Wen's education.
Huang Zhao looked to be in his early 20s and didn't even have a date, not because he had no money.
Huang Wen will be in his third year of high school soon, and the tuition fee is still far behind. Your second sister-in-law and I really don’t have any money in our hands. "
"Second brother, can you borrow some from the second sister-in-law's natal family?"
Peng Fang curled her lips secretly, and said with a smirk, "little sister, I can brazenly ask my mother's family for thirty or fifty yuan, but mother's leg, this money is not worth the trouble what."
"Second sister-in-law, can you borrow more, preferably a hundred or so, the doctor said, if my mother's leg wants to be cured, it will cost five hundred, and I will find other people to find a solution for the rest."
"Borrow a little more?"
Peng Fang put down her chopsticks with a "snap", and choked back with a smirk: "You said it lightly, and you can only borrow a hundred if you open your mouth. We are all poor people digging through the earth. How can we lend so much spare money to outsiders?" .”
Huang Jianguo also persuaded Huang Zhiqiu to give up his thoughts, "Zhiqiu, according to me, my mother is so old, and how many years can she live? Even if the leg is cured, so what? Don't bother, let fate Bar."
Even though Huang Zhiqiu said nothing, Huang Jianguo and Peng Fang both had the same attitude.
Whether you want money or not, borrowing money is out of the question.
After leaving Huang Jianguo, Yun Mo couldn't help but comfort Huang Zhiqiu when she saw Huang Zhiqiu was very depressed.
"Mom, don't worry too much, I will definitely find a way to heal grandma's leg."
Daughter's sensibility and filial piety made Huang Zhiqiu feel a little comforted, she barely cheered up, "Let's go, let's visit your third uncle's house."
"it is good."
The sun is getting higher and higher, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but the walking direction is getting farther and farther away from the direction of the village, Yunmo panicked a little.
"Mom, where does the third uncle live?"
"Live in town."
What?
Yunmo's head buzzed as if someone had hit him with a stick, "Mom, don't we want to walk to the town?"
Huang Zhiqiu looked at her strangely, "How do you want to go if you don't walk?"
"..."
Yun Mo was about to cry, "It's a 20-kilometer road. How long will it take to go on two legs?"
"Take a faster walk, and you will be there in 2 and a half hours."
Seeing that Huang Zhiqiu was serious, Yun Mo almost fainted on the spot.
"Is there no other way to go to the town but to walk? For example, by motorcycle or something."
Seeing his daughter's fair little face flushed by the sun, Huang Zhiqiu felt a little guilty and distressed.
She was about to comfort her daughter when suddenly the roar of a motorcycle came from behind her.
The mother and daughter looked back at the same time.
Coincidentally, the person riding the motorcycle happened to be Chen Bin who sent Yunmo back to the village yesterday.
Chen Bin also recognized the mother and daughter, slowly parked the car in front of the two, and greeted them with a smile.
"Sister Qiu, where are you going?"
Huang Zhiqiu: "Go visit relatives."
Yunmo: "Go to town."
Hearing the mother and daughter's answer, Chen Bin immediately invited them to get in the car, "Come on, I'll give you a ride, and I'm going to the town for a run too."
Huang Zhiqiu subconsciously refused: "Your kindness is appreciated, no need, you can be busy."
"Oh, it's okay, anyway, the empty car is still running. Yesterday, Uncle Huang brought me two Shau Kei, but I didn't give any money. It happened to be the fare. Come on."
Yesterday, when I gave you the fare in Shau Kei, you were not happy to get it, but now you are more attentive.
Yunmo slandered silently. Although she could see that this Chen had some thoughts about her own mother, Yunmo couldn't care less about being reserved. If she really had to walk 20 miles to the town, her legs would be ruined. .
"Mom, let's go to town by car, and take care of Chen, Brother Chen's business."
Yun Mo originally wanted to call her uncle, but Chen Bin would be of the same generation as Huang Zhiqiu, so she changed her name to brother, so Chen Bin would be a generation younger than Huang Zhiqiu.
Huang Zhiqiu hesitated.
On the one hand, she knew that her daughter grew up in the city and was spoiled and spoiled, so she couldn't bear the hardship of traveling long distances.
On the other hand, as a single mother, she doesn't want to have too much contact with an older bachelor like Chen Bin, for fear of spreading rumors.
Yunmo is a soul from the 21st century, and she couldn't understand Huang Zhiqiu's avoidance of suspicion. She begged a few words in a soft voice, and Huang Zhiqiu finally let go.
Taking a car is much easier than walking, and even the bumps make Yunmo feel less unbearable.
In less than half an hour, the mother and daughter arrived in the town.
Under Huang Zhiqiu's repeated insistence, Chen Bin finally only received a symbolic gas fee of two yuan.
"Sister Qiu, I usually do work near the station. If you need a car when you go back, come to me."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you."
"What are you being polite about, people in the village should take care of each other."
After Chen Bin rode the motorcycle away, Yunmo asked casually, "Is he also from our village?"
"No, he lives in the upper village, and ours is the lower village."
"Then what's his name?"
"Chen Bin."
"Then is he married?"
"not yet."
"How old is he this year, and he is not married yet?"
"Not sure, probably less than 30."
After learning about Chen Bin's real age, Yun Mo was a little surprised.
It may be because of the wind and the sun. Chen Bin looks a little old. She thought she was about 30, but it turned out that she was not yet 30.
This era is not as open as the later generations. Sister-brother love is still tested by the world, and Huang Zhiqiu is 37, more than a little older than Chen Bin.
Thinking, Yunmo couldn't help but look at her mother carefully.
Although she is middle-aged, her skin is fair and smooth, without a single wrinkle, let alone unsightly sunburn and freckles, and her figure is well-proportioned and slender under the calico shirt. The two of them walk together like this, not at all like a mother and daughter, but like sisters .
It's no wonder that Chen Bin is so courteous to his mother.
—
The mother and daughter walked outside the small courtyard of Huang Jianye's house and found that the courtyard door was locked. Obviously, there was no one at home.
"Your third uncle should be working, let's go to the winery to find him."
"it is good."
When he came to the entrance of the winery, Huang Zhiqiu asked someone to help him call Huang Jianye out.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Huang Jianye wiped his face and neck with a sweat towel while looking at Yunmo, "Who is this?"
"This is Momo, who came to look for me from Jiang City, and just arrived yesterday. Momo, my name is Third Uncle."
"Third Uncle."
"Um."
Huang Yao was not about Huang Zhiqiu's own daughter, so Huang Jianye naturally knew about it. After Huang Yao ran away, he asked someone to look for him, but he couldn't find anyone.
It may be because of the first meeting, Huang Jianye's attitude towards Yunmo is not very warm.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Huang Zhiqiu handed over the candy in his hand, "Just bring Momo over here to recognize someone. This is the candy bought by Momo. You can take it back and give it to Huang Yingjin and his brother."
"Okay, then I will not be polite."
