Chapter 69
In Wang Cuicui’s small single room, the three helped Wang Cuicui pack her luggage. Wang Cuicui sat on the bed and changed her previous anger and sat quietly without saying a word.
Cheng Nan called her, she looked up at Cheng Nan and lowered her head.
Cheng Nan knew that Ling Xinyue’s reappearance after fifteen years not only brought shock and anger to her, but also to Wang Cuicui. When Wang Cuicui woke up, her daughter ran away with the household registration book and threw her in the The ex-son-in-law’s family ignored it, making her ashamed to death.
Ling Xinyue’s abandonment of her mother and daughter made Wang Cuicui heartbroken. She never thought that the flesh that fell out of her stomach would be so cruel to her.
When Cheng Nan helped Wang Cuicui to open the door of the single room, Ling Xinyue and Ju Minwen were not seen, but the gift bags that had been kicked in a mess in the corridor were neatly placed at the door.
Cheng Nan bent down and picked up the post-it note on one of the gift boxes.
[Suddenly came to visit, poorly prepared, a little thought, but also hoped to accept it with a smile. Officially visit again another day. ——Ju Minwen]
“Ju Minwen left it.” Cheng Nan put the post-it note back and said.
“Who is that person?” Wang Cuicui asked.
Cheng Nan and Shen Chenxi helped Wang Cuicui to the exit, passed by the pile of gift bags without looking at them, and explained as they walked, “She is the current husband.”
That pile of gift bags full of expensive items was just abandoned in this empty corridor.
The emotions that have been destroyed over the years, how can this sudden gift be repaired, it has been shattered into ashes, and the wind blows and dissipates.
When the four of them returned home, Shen Chenxi took the initiative to grab Xiang Siyu’s arm for the first time, and brought her to the kitchen to cook dinner with him, letting Cheng Nan and Wang Cuicui, who had been silent, stay silent for a while.
Xiang Siyu followed Shen Chenxi into the kitchen in a trance, and his mind was immersed in the fact that Shen Chenxi took the initiative to grab his hand.
A potato and a paring knife were handed to Xiang Siyu, who then came out of his own world, the corners of his mouth cracked open, and he kept nodding his head.
“Sister, do you need me to do anything besides peeling? I can do anything!” Xiang Siyu stood happily in front of Shen Chenxi, changed his calmness before, and kept praising himself like a child. I hope Shen Chenxi can let her do more.
Shen Chenxi is willing to contact her, this is a good start, isn’t it?
Compared to Jiang Yichen, who was nicer to her at first, and then ignored her all the time, this sister, who has no blood relationship with her and can’t speak, is the person she wants to get close to the most.
Shen Chenxi looked at Xiang Siyu with a bright smile in silence. She was calm on the surface, but she was a little stunned. She didn’t do anything.
After Xiang Siyu’s words fell, the whole kitchen fell silent. Shen Chenxi’s silence gradually disintegrated Xiang Siyu’s inner joy. The corners of her mouth slowly lowered, and then she pursed her lips into a smile, covering up her heart. Bitterness, lowered his eyes and lowered his head: “Sister, if not, I will peel the potatoes first.”
Xiang Siyu was about to squat in front of the trash can to peel the skin, when he saw a slender white finger carrying a bag of vegetables and handed it to Xiang Siyu.
Xiang Siyu raised his head in surprise and saw that Shen Chenxi was still slightly nodding at her, and instantly opened his arms to hug the bag of vegetables, his little head kept tapping, and excitedly said: “I will definitely cut all these vegetables. Clean skin!”
Looking at Xiang Siyu happily squatting beside the trash can and peeling carefully, Shen Chenxi pursed her lips, raised the small plastic stool beside her with her feet, kicked it on Xiang Siyu, Xiang Siyu turned around in a daze, and saw The small stool behind him raised the corner of his mouth again: “Thank you, sister!”
Shen Chenxi looked at Xiang Siyu silently for a few moments before turning around and putting on her apron, went to wash rice and cook, and then opened the refrigerator to take out the unfinished meat and cut it up. One is standing and the other is sitting. The atmosphere of the kitchen is just right, very warm.
The living room was even quieter. Cheng Nan poured a cup of hot water for Wang Cuicui, and then sat beside Wang Cuicui who had kept his head down and said nothing after returning home.
After a long time, Cheng Nan got up and turned on the TV switch, then walked back to the sofa and took the remote control placed on the coffee table to Wang Cuicui, and asked with a smile, “Grandma, which war movie do you want to watch today? Is it 27 or 48? Seems like 53 is putting a new anti–“
Cheng Nan did not speak, but was interrupted by Wang Cuicui’s choked voice: “Nan Nan.”
Cheng Nan stopped abruptly, turned off the TV, and replied, “Well.”
Wang Cuicui lowered her head, looked at the backs of her hands with loose skin on her legs, and said, “Nannan, there are only two people I’m most sorry for in my life, one is your father and the other is you.”
Cheng Nan heard the words, bit his lower lip, and tried his best to keep his eyes open, so as not to let the uncontrollable gathering of water mist turn into tears.
“No, you didn’t feel sorry for my dad, and you didn’t feel sorry for me.”
“No! I’m sorry! My fault! It’s all my fault!” Wang Cuicui reacted violently, she sat back, clenched her fists and looked at Cheng Nan, a face with sagging skin and age spots covered with tears.
“My daughter, I know what kind of person she is! She has no conscience since she was a child, she is vain and likes to compare herself, and she can’t do anything except look better than ordinary girls!”
Seeing Wang Cuicui’s excited face, Cheng Nan hurriedly went to appease; “Grandma, don’t be excited—”
“Nannan, listen to grandma!” Wang Cuicui interrupted Cheng Nan’s words and waved away the hand that Cheng Nan wanted to support her.
“She was good-looking and was easily harassed/harassed by the little gangsters. It was your father who had a good heart. He dragged her and me home every night with a lame leg, and knew that our mother and daughter were poor and had no money. Half of the salary will be given to us. She was also moved, and then married your father, and gave birth to you not long after, but in just a few years, she couldn’t stand it anymore, she couldn’t stand people saying she was lame Leg husband, can’t stand someone else driving a car, your father can only take her on foot and take the bus, arguing and complaining every day.”
Wang Cuicui reached out and held Cheng Nan’s hand, choked and said, “your father is really the best person I have ever met. The salary is almost handed over to your mother every month, and the vegetable rice distributed by the factory will stay and bring back. The family gave us food, and I ate the steamed buns myself, and said that I ate very well with only a few meat on my body.”
“When you were eight years old, she forced your father to get a divorce. The night before the divorce, your father drank for the first time, and the next day, she divorced her. But I never thought that she On the night of the divorce, I will take the household registration book and walk away, leaving your father, you, and me…”
Cheng Nan’s father has a lame leg and has no good job. The family is financially poor. Every month’s money is used for Ling Xinyue’s face, because Ling Xinyue was recommended to a high-end store as a counter lady with her beautiful face. , After staying in that kind of place for a long time, she became more and more dissatisfied with the poor life. With her strong vanity, she spent a lot of money in the family on food and clothing every day.
Ling Xinyue’s departure made this poor family even more embarrassed. A crippled man, an old mother left by his ex-wife, and an eight-year-old daughter made people collapse.
But in the end, this man used his thin shoulders and crippled crippled legs to carry the house, pulling Cheng Nan up and taking Wang Cuicui by his side. He was kind and sturdy, but God never treated him kindly. One late night in my freshman year of high school, when I went home from overtime and went upstairs, I stepped on the air and died. Since then, only Cheng Nan, who is still studying, and Wang Cuicui, who is not in good health, are left in the family.
Cheng Nan almost collapsed. Forced to make a living, he privately told the head teacher that he would drop out of school and go out to work to earn money to support the family. Big cut, is a good material to go to a famous school in the country!
After the head teacher left, Wang Cuicui cried bitterly, thinking that she was useless, that she was a drag on Cheng Nan’s father, and now she is still dragging Cheng Nan. , Cheng Nan cried and agreed.
The next day, Wang Cuicui ignored her health and found a job in the factory to do sanitation. Cheng Nan also privately found a lot of tutors for part-time jobs. Life got better a little bit, but in the end, when Cheng Nan was in the third year of high school, Wang Cuicui fell. The family was not only poor, but also heavily in debt. Fortunately, Shen Chenxi appeared in Cheng Nan’s world at that time.
Seeing Wang Cuicui crying sadly, Cheng Nan took out a few tissues, gently wiped Wang Cuicui’s tears, and then looked at Wang Cuicui’s cloudy eyes seriously and said, “Grandma, all this is over, you have me now, you have Xi Xi, and Xiang Siyu.”
Cheng Nan raised his smile and embraced Wang Cuicui’s shoulders.
“What’s wrong with you? I’m lucky to have you by my side. When I wanted to drop out of school, it was you who strongly opposed persuasion. You let me get ahead by studying, and I did it.”
Cheng Nan suddenly patted his forehead hard and exaggerated: “Oh, I forgot to tell you something good.”
Sure enough, Wang Cuicui was distracted by Cheng Nan’s topic, and soon stopped crying and followed Cheng Nan’s topic.
“What good thing?” Wang Cuicui wiped away her tears and asked.
Cheng Nan smiled happily, and pointed his finger around the house: “Xi Xi and I bought this house from the landlord a few days ago, and we don’t have to pay rent in the future, this is our home! Yes! Home for a lifetime!”
“Really!” Wang Cuicui was very surprised, but she frowned the next second, “It’s not cheap to buy a house, how can you have so much money?”
Cheng Nan paid for the house in full, and she earned it herself, but she deliberately said in front of Wang Cuicui, “I don’t have enough money for Xixi, so I asked Xixi to get the money and bought the house.”
Wang Cuicui frowned slightly and looked at Cheng Nan with a bad expression: “Whose name is written on this house?”
Cheng Nan shrugged: “Of course it’s me.”
Wang Cuicui clenched her fist, and the next second it hit Cheng Nan’s shoulder.
“You are so bad, you dare to take Xixi’s money and not write Xixi’s name, I will kill you!”
At this moment, the kitchen door opened and Shen Chenxi came out. She seemed to have heard her grandmother calling her just now.
Cheng Nan covered Wang Cuicui’s mouth with one hand and Wang Cuicui’s fist with the other. He turned to Shen Chenxi and said, “It’s alright, go and prepare the food, I’m hungry!”
Shen Chenxi didn’t know the reason, just nodded and walked back to close the kitchen door.
Since hearing Xiang Siyu’s cry outside the door of the guest room a few years ago, Cheng Nan and Shen Chenxi thought about doing healthy exercise, and it didn’t take long for the walls, glass and doors of the house to be soundproofed. great.
Cheng Nan did some exercise with Shen Chenxi on the night of the installation, and found that the effect was really good, and he was very satisfied.
Seeing Shen Chenxi closing the kitchen door, Cheng Nan turned his head back, let go of the hand covering Wang Cuicui, put up an index finger to his mouth, whispered “shh”, and then reluctantly said, “I see. , I’ll find a time to write her name on it too.”
Wang Cuicui stretched out her hand and twisted the back of Cheng Nan’s hand, lowered her voice and said fiercely, “Go as soon as possible! Don’t delay! Tomorrow! Do you know!”
Cheng Nan took a deep breath: “I know, I know! You let go! It hurts, it hurts…”
“Humph” Wang Cuicui released her hand and looked at Cheng Nan dissatisfiedly.
When the four of them came to the table for dinner, Wang Cuicui treated Shen Chenxi with great enthusiasm.
“It’s really hard to cook so many dishes in winter and wash them with cold water. Don’t do it next time, let Nannan do it. Come on, eat more dishes, the dishes you cook are really for your grandmother. It’s the best food I’ve ever had.” Wang Cuicui kept adding vegetables to Shen Chenxi until the bowl couldn’t fit.
Cheng Nan, who was on the side, ate the cabbage in front of him with a bitter face, and the back of his hand was still red.
After the four of them finished eating, Cheng Nan was pushed into the kitchen by his grandmother to wash the dishes. Looking at the dishes in the sink, Cheng Nan resignedly put on dishwashing gloves and washed the dishes with water.
