Chapter 0018 Porridge, Steamed Buns, Pickles ()

On Saturday, Tang Sheng, who was sleeping in with pillows in his arms, heard someone knocking on the glass of his south room.

Tang Sheng opened his eyes in a daze, and his first reaction was to get up and open the curtains to see who was disturbing his sweet dream.

There was a pretty face posted on the glass, and it was Tang Jin. She was lying down to take a closer look, but the curtain inside suddenly lifted up, and then she saw a guy wearing small briefs kneeling in front of the window sill.

Ah', the beauty yelled and ran away.

Tang Sheng inside was completely sleepless. Uh, it's Tang Jin. Why did he run away?

I looked down and saw, oh, that’s it!

With a wry smile, Tang Sheng quickly dressed, folded quilts, washed, and dressed up. Well, boys also need to dress up briefly. After about twenty minutes, Tang Sheng came out. In the yard, Mr. Tang was having sex with Li Guoguo, who was in the hospital.

The mouth speaks.

When they saw Tang Sheng coming out, they all smiled at him. Li Guoguo was a fruit seller to support his family. He was an honest country man who came to live in the city. His wife had a big belly and a thick waist.

The kind of simple peasant woman who can endure hardships.

"Brother Sheng, today is Saturday, why are you up at only seven o'clock? I never see you getting up so early during school."

Li Guoguo teased Tang Sheng. Ever since Tang Sheng smashed the Mercedes-Benz that day, people of all ages in Old Tang Alley were happy to get close to him. Li Guoguo's wife pushed her husband, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and open a stall."

Are you also teasing me about giving birth to my brother?"

This sentence made Tang Sheng a little embarrassed. Mr. Tang, who was standing under the eaves of the main house with a cane, looked at Tang Sheng with a kind smile. For some reason, since Tang Sheng smashed his son's car, the old man had

He looked particularly pleasing to the eye.

Tang Sheng scratched his head and smiled at Li Guoguo and his wife, "Uncle Li, Aunt Li, don't laugh at me, okay?"

"No way, brother Sheng, but people in the alley are surprised that you smashed his nice car and he didn't come to you?"

"Hey...what's the use of him looking for me? I'm not worth a piece of glass in his car if I sell it."

"Then you dare to smash his car?" Li Guoguo's wife said in a frightened voice.

"Aunt Li, I made a mistake. Let's not talk about it. I'm going out for a walk...Old man, have you had breakfast?"

Mr. Tang smiled and said, "Go and slide your legs. I've already eaten. Was it the girl from across the door who knocked on your glass?"

"Hey, you are really good at calculating. Let me go out and have a look..."

Tang Sheng turned around and went out, leaving Mr. Tang and Li Guoguo shaking their heads and laughing, unable to see through this young man.

The narrow alleyway paved with hexagonal bricks is only about six or seven meters wide. It is convex in the middle and concave on both sides. The road surface is seriously deformed. There is a cement telephone pole about 20 meters away, and it is actually the kind with holes.

, an old pole that can be climbed up by people. The light on the electric pole in front of the compound door stopped working the day before yesterday. It was Tang Jin's father who climbed up and changed the light bulb to turn it on.

When she came out, she saw Tang Jin sitting on the cement block in front of her house with a handkerchief on her hands. When she saw it was Tang Sheng coming out, she gave him a look and muttered in a low voice, "Perverted lazy guy... the sun is hitting your butt."

Don’t know how to get up? No wonder you are late..."

Tang Jin is the kind of girl with strong self-discipline. She has been sensible and diligent since she was born. She helps her mother with a lot of work at home after studying, including washing and cooking, tutoring her younger brother in studying, etc. It can be said that

Tang Jin's childhood life was 'fulfilling'.

In Tang Sheng's memory, every bit of Tang Jin was hidden deep in his heart, and he would never be able to forget it in a few lifetimes. At this moment, listening to her whisper of blame, Tang Sheng felt a particularly warm and kind feeling in his heart.

I would be happy to protect her and get beaten every day.

"Tang Jin, it's morning. By the way, have you had breakfast? I'm about to go..."

Tang Jin looked at this sunny and energetic boy with a cold face. He couldn't combine him with the image of the little devil who was angry and furious that day. Looking at his current appearance, he still looked a little shy. This

Are the changes too big?

Thinking of the ugly look he had seen while lying on the glass before, Tang Jin's pretty face turned a little red.

"My mother asked me to call you. She said she had something to discuss with you and that she should stop by my house for breakfast, otherwise I would ignore you."

"Aunt Li is so kind? I'm so touched... I don't know what Ning Meng said to you yesterday. In fact, I am a good person." After saying this, Tang Sheng went to Tang Jin and their small courtyard. Tang Jin pretended to be disdainful.

She curled her lips, got up and came in with her little handkerchief.

The weather in September was crisp and clear in autumn, with a slight chill in the morning. It was a refreshing coolness. Tang Sheng was very strong, and wearing a T-shirt was enough to deal with it. He was not used to covering up his coat so early, but Tang Jin's T-shirt

Wear a small waistcoat over the shirt.

The yard of Tang Jin's house is half smaller than Mr. Tang's house. This yard faces south and faces north, as does the main house, but there are large windows on the south side, which can receive sunlight, and the house is very warm. There are three upper rooms.

, in the middle is the main room (living room), the east wing is where old man Tang, the old lady and Tang Jin’s younger brother Tang Wei live, the west wing belongs to Tang Jin alone, and the east room is where Tang Jin’s parents live.

"...The house on the west side has been vacated, but it has never been rented out. It is too small, and it is a shady house. No one rents it."

"It doesn't cost much to rent, so don't bother... Why hasn't Jin'er called Brother Sheng yet?"

In the yard, Tang Jin's father, Tang Wangping, was squatting on the ground, eating breakfast around a small square table. A plate of pickles, a few steamed buns, and a pot of gruel. It was a very simple breakfast, but looking at it made people feel appetizing.

Tang Jin's mother, Li Guizhen, was sitting aside. The middle-aged woman in her forties looked older than her actual age. Her beauty in the past could be vaguely seen. Otherwise, how could Tang Jin be so beautiful?

Old Man Tang was also sitting at the table, listening to the chatter between his son and his daughter-in-law without interrupting. Then he looked up and saw Tang Sheng coming in, "Hey...it's Brother Sheng. Come sit down and eat together. There's nothing good at home."

The food for you is porridge, steamed buns, and pickles."

Tang Wangping and Li Guizhen also hurriedly stood up. They did not treat Tang Sheng like a child. The smashing of the car and the words they said to Tang Yu made Tang Sheng completely change in the eyes of the adults in Old Tang Alley. He was just a child.

' image, a child cannot say that kind of thing.

"Brother Sheng, please sit down quickly. Auntie will scoop you a bowl of gruel, as long as you don't dislike it..."

Li Guizhen looked at Tang Sheng with much more cordial eyes. He had stood up for his family several times, but he had not formally thanked them yet.

In Tang Sheng's eyes, Li Guizhen was his future mother-in-law. He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Aunt Li, you're welcome. Grandpa Tang, don't say that either. Rice porridge, steamed buns and pickles are the most delicious breakfast. I

I want to eat it even in my dreams..."

He was not polite at all, he just sat down and picked up a steamed bun and started eating it. Tang Jin who was following him almost laughed when he saw how he was eating, but Tang Jin did not dare to reveal anything in front of his parents, "...Mom

, I went into the house to study..."

Li Guizhen said oh, scooped up the porridge and handed it to Tang Sheng, rubbed her hands on her apron, and gave her husband a wink.

Tang Wangping understood. He drank up the remaining porridge in a few mouthfuls, then got up and entered the east room... At this time, the window in the west wing of the upper room creaked. It was Tang Jin who was standing on the kang and papering the upper half of the room.

After putting up the fan, Li Guizhen looked back at her.

Tang Jin panicked and forced a smile to his mother, "...the air is good in the morning, I, I will put up the window to get some fresh air..."

Li Guizhen gave her daughter a cute look, "When did you lean through the window? Did you want to eavesdrop on Tang Sheng talking to us?"

Both Mr. Tang and Tang Sheng noticed this subtle scene, but no one said anything. Tang Sheng continued to eat his white steamed buns and pickles. Tang Wangping came out of the east room, carrying the black plastic bag in his hand, and stuffed it in

Gave it to his wife Li Guixiang.

In the west chamber, Tang Jin secretly lay on the quilt at the end of the east kang, listening to the sounds outside without studying at all.

Tang Sheng glanced at Li Guizhen who took the black bag. She also forced a smile on her face and sat down next to her.

"Brother Sheng... Look, we haven't touched this money. It's not a penny. We are not that kind of people, and we don't dare to ask for Tang Yu's 100,000 yuan. How can we return it to Tang Yu? How do we get it back?"

Uncle Ping and Tang Yu are also speechless. Do you think it's you..."

Old Man Tang and Tang Wangping just looked at Tang Sheng. Li Guizhen had always made the final decision on family affairs. She was a shrewd woman.

Tang Sheng swallowed the last bite of the steamed bun, drank the porridge in the bowl in two or two gulps, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, looked at the black money bag, and then looked at Li Guizhen, "...Aunt Li, this money is for Tang Jin

It’s for grandma’s medical treatment. I don’t care what kind of people your family is. If the old lady has been wronged, she should be compensated. Tang Yu will not come here to cause trouble. You can use this money however you want..."

"Well, how can this be done?" Tang Wangping answered.

"There's nothing wrong with it... By the way, Uncle Wangping, I heard that you and Aunt Li used to be workers at Jiangji?"

Tang Wangping looked at his wife and then at Tang Sheng. He always felt that this child looked like an adult. He would always ask some adult questions when he sat with you, which was incompatible with children. It seemed that Qian wanted to make him come back.

It is impossible to return it to Tang Yu.

"Well...Jiangji Gear stopped working two years ago. The quality of the gears it produced was so poor that its reputation was ruined. We were laid off a long time ago!"

Jiangge Gear is a gear factory in Jiangling City. It is a large state-owned enterprise that mainly produces various automobile gearboxes. However, the situation in the past two years has been extremely pessimistic and has gone from bad to worse. More than half of the five to six thousand workers have been laid off. Even so, it is not bad.

The elephant cannot be sustained.

Tang Wangping used to be a truck driver for the transportation team in Jiangji, and he often traveled to other places to deliver goods.

Many of the Tang family members in Lao Tang Lane are workers from Jiangji, and they were among the first batch to be laid off.

Tang Sheng knew in his heart the future direction of "Jiangji". When it was in dire straits, "Sinotruk" acquired "Jiangji". Now Tang Sheng asked about the situation of "Jiangji", of course he had some ideas, but at this time "Jiangji" was still a giant.

It's simply not something he can move.

The top priority at the moment is the demolition and resettlement of Lao Tang Lane. Once this matter is done, I can put one worry aside.
