488. Chapter 488 The popularity draws a clear line
Today's Cheng family compound is no better than before. The so-called exchanges are just friendships of giving bowls of dumplings and packages of noodles. This person is also strange, or to put it bluntly, "cheap"!
When you are rich, people line up to give you gifts, and it is hard to remember. When you are poor, a bowl of dumplings and a bowl of noodles can become a mountain of kindness.
Therefore, every time Bai Nianxiu met Cheng Mingxuan, he was very polite and respectful. But it was this extremely humble courtesy that made Cheng Mingxuan feel real and sincere!
Cheng Mingxuan didn't want to usurp the excellent moral character of his two children, so he didn't want to hold on to this matter. However, even if he was thinking about their safety, he knew it was right, but he couldn't encourage them.
"Okay! You go to the west wing to say hello to the great-grandmother, and then go back to your rooms!" Cheng Mingxuan said.
Cheng Yinghao and Cheng Yingnan looked at each other for a moment. They didn't know why their father suddenly changed like this, but they still hurriedly responded and exited the main room, "Hey!"
They actually wanted to ask their father to help save Teacher Bai, but they managed to escape the disaster today. At this moment, their father's face was still very gloomy, and they didn't want to send him to their door again by themselves.
Cheng Yinghao and Cheng Yingnan didn't dare to say much, but Cheng Mingxuan had already seen what they were thinking. Needless to say, the two children couldn't worry about Bai Nianxiu. In fact, in the final analysis, he and Bai Nianxiu were from the same family.
Bai Nianxiu was luckier than himself before. He had really been to the West and witnessed the industrial revolution. But he was not able to follow Mr. Lu to France in his early years!
Cheng Mingxuan spent a lot of effort and finally found out about the labor reform team where Teacher Bai worked.
At that time, there were thousands of "re-education through labor teams" and "re-education through labor farms" across the country. They also had a very proletarian name, "cattle shed." It sounded like a great prosperity of the national breeding industry, but in fact it was a miscellaneous "cow shed".
All the "ox demons and snake gods" were locked up together and taken out by the revolutionary rebels every day to work endlessly.
Cheng Mingxuan went to see Bai Nianxiu without telling his family that day, bringing only two changes of clothes and a jar of home-made dried fish and pickles.
He really didn't know if he could help him!
When passing by the gate of the detention center, Cheng Mingxuan claimed to be Teacher Bai's cousin. Everyone knew that Bai Nianxiu had no relatives except the half-dead old woman in the hospital bed, so a cousin appeared out of the blue and they were still confused!
But who can tell clearly in this year!
As long as people live in this world, it is impossible to have "no relatives or friends". The so-called "no relatives" here does not really mean "none" or "all dead", but the early memories of those seven aunts and eight aunts.
After Bai Nianxiu was put under dictatorship, he drew a clear line with him.
Nowadays, the word "draw a clear line" is particularly popular. Husbands and wives, fathers and sons can draw clear lines. It's not surprising that Bai Nianxiu's aunts and uncles don't interact with each other. Maybe there is someone who has a good relationship with them.
My brother showed up out of the blue and recognized me!
Furthermore, after checking what Cheng Mingxuan brought, there was indeed nothing important or suspicious, so he was let in.
Bai Nianxiu himself, on the other hand, was really frightened when he heard that a cousin suddenly showed up to see him.
And when I saw it was Cheng Mingxuan, I was even more surprised.
