Chapter 95 True Purpose
December 2nd, Saturday, sunny and windy,
The warm sunshine of early winter shines into the room through the window, adding a bit of warmth.
Chen Yang rolled his eyes twice, but he still didn't open them after all. He just wrapped the thin blanket tightly around him. Well, the weather is a bit cold, and one blanket is not enough. It seems that he has to buy a thicker quilt.
Then he turned over and stretched out his arms lightly, hugging the delicate body next to him. Well, it felt much warmer.
Zou Rong, who was still sleeping soundly, moved her lips twice, and unconsciously bent her body sleeping on her side slightly, bringing her body closer to the chest behind her.
After a few more minutes, she felt something pressing on her body, and then she woke up in a daze.
With one small hand, he grabbed the arm that was pressing on his body. Without turning around, he muttered, "What time is it?"
Chen Yang didn't open his eyes. He leaned his head in again, smelled the fragrance and said, "I don't have to go to work today, so I don't care what time it is."
"I'm going to buy groceries. I'm late and all the good groceries have been picked out." Zou Rong turned to face her and put her arms on him. Then she opened her eyes and arched her head upwards, with the tip of her nose facing her.
The tip of his nose smiled, "It's your turn to cook today, I want to eat braised pork ribs with potatoes."
Chen Yang leaned his head forward and pressed it against her forehead, still not opening his eyes. "I order this dish every time. I won't get tired of it."
"It's not greasy, your cooking is delicious." After saying this, Zou Rong couldn't help but lick her lips, and then she couldn't help but pout forward,
Hey, this is playing with fire, how can I bear it?
Just when he tensed his arms and was about to start a fight, the cell phone under the pillow suddenly rang.
Immediately his old face fell down, which completely ruined the scenery.
I opened the quilt and sat up, took out my mobile phone from under the pillow and looked at it. Hey, it's my mother calling. What's the matter?
Press the answer button and put it to your ear, look at the position of the sun in the sky outside, "Mom, you haven't rested yet, what's wrong?"
Normally, she should have gone to bed by this time.
At this time, my mother's voice came from the mobile phone, "I didn't go to sell goods yesterday. Your father was alone at the stall. Your aunt was sick and I was staying with her. You have a rest today? Come and have a look if you have time."
"
"Auntie is sick?" Chen Yang was stunned for a moment and said quickly, "What's going on? Is it serious?"
My mother said angrily, "It's not just the old problem of herniated discs in the waist. She slipped her waist while rushing for goods two years ago, and this is the root cause of the disease. She still doesn't take it seriously, and always outperforms those men."
I still try hard, but I had a relapse last year. It’s better now, but it relapsed again yesterday.”
When Chen Yang heard this, he didn't know what to say.
The phone call from his mother also reminded him of something. Although his aunt is the youngest among the elders, she is the hardest working one and her health is also the worst. She is doing well now, but she will relapse every one or two years.
After a few years, it became once or twice a year, and then more and more frequently. By ten years later, the entire lumbar spine had been severely deformed, and I couldn't even straighten my waist and couldn't walk steadily. Naturally, the business here stopped.
After the law was over, I had to pack up my things and go back to my hometown.
But what can you say to her? There are two children in the family. The older one needs to prepare a dowry, the younger one needs to prepare a house and betrothal gifts for their future marriage, and the old couple also have to leave a sum of money to support themselves in old age. For these
They don't dare to rest for a day, even on New Year's Eve, they are selling goods and vegetables, because the money is the best on that day. If others don't sell, they sell, and one day can last as long as the usual ten days, so every time during the New Year, they are either busy or not.
If you go back, or go back after the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, you are completely exchanging your life for money.
In fact, her two children, although they are very rebellious now and make people want to throw them into the river, their future achievements are not bad. One of them became a teacher, first in a public school, and later he was poached by a private school with a high salary.
The income is very considerable. The younger one joined the army after the college entrance examination, and re-entered the military academy. He was immediately promoted to work, and he was paid while attending school. It can be said that he is the best-successful person in Chen Yang's generation.
, but no one knows now, and he can’t tell.
Sighing slightly, Chen Yang asked, "Have you been to the hospital? What did the doctor say?"
"I went to Liu's Clinic at the entrance of the village and prescribed some medicine. The doctor told me to rest for a few days and wait until I feel better before I can start working. I also can't do heavy work in the future, otherwise it will get worse and worse." At this point,
Mom also sighed, "It's not like you don't know your aunt. It's more uncomfortable for her not to do anything than to lie down. This disease probably won't be cured, but fortunately, it's not a serious illness and her life is not in danger.
Let’s see later.”
Chen Yang gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, then asked, "Didn't you go to a big hospital for a checkup? It wouldn't cost much to go to a big hospital for this disease."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he knew that his question was in vain. With their frugal character, how could they send money to a big hospital?
Sure enough, my mother said in a low voice on the phone, "Dr. Liu works in a big hospital. His clinic also has instruments. He checked it last night."
After saying that, his emotions quickly rose again, and he persuaded Chen Yang, "It's okay. No one working here has any minor problems, and I haven't seen anyone running to a big hospital. Okay, let's not talk about it."
That’s all, if you have a day off today, come over and take a look later.”
"Well, okay," of course Chen Yang agreed without hesitation, and then asked, "Should I go to your place, or go directly to my aunt's place?"
"Come to our place. I took her over. She will live with me these days. Your uncle has to sell goods and has no time to take care of her. I will put her in place. You can just come over later."
"Okay, let me clean up. I'll come over now."
It's been two months since I've been there, so I just happened to go and have a look.
"Okay, then let's eat here at noon and evening today, and I'll go buy groceries later,"
Hearing that he was going over, my mother seemed to be in a much better mood suddenly, but then she changed the topic and asked, "Is Rongrong coming?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang was immediately speechless. Is this the real purpose of your old man's phone call?
I asked why I didn't remember receiving this call in my previous life. It turns out that I have a girlfriend now and you want to see your daughter-in-law.
At this time, Zou Rong had already sat up and leaned against him. Hearing the voice on the phone, she nodded without hesitation, but then she reacted and said immediately, "Auntie, I will come with you later."
On the other end of the phone, my mother heard Zou Rong's voice and immediately smiled from ear to ear, "Okay, later auntie will make you your favorite braised fish, stew a turtle, and tell me what else you like to eat."
Say, I'll do it for you."
Chen Yang looked embarrassed and thrust the phone into Zou Rong's hand. "Yes, this is your biological child. You two can talk among yourself."
Then he got up and got out of bed and ran to the bathroom to wash up.
…
After quickly washing up, Chen Yang looked at the time. It was already eleven o'clock in the morning. It was really hard for his mother to wait until this time to call.
After packing up, the two of them went out and went downstairs. When they reached the street, Zou Rong suddenly grabbed him, pointed to the fruit shop on the roadside and said, "Let's buy some fruit."
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment. It had been two lifetimes, and it seemed that he had never given a gift to his elders. These past decades had been in vain, and no little girl had yet understood the truth.
It is said that a country is easy to change but its nature is hard to change, and the old saying is indeed true.
The two of them entered the store together and picked out some cheap and delicious fruits to carry. They didn't choose anything like a fruit basket gift box.
Gift giving depends on the person. If it is given to outsiders, of course the gift box and fruit basket will look good, but Chen Yang knows the temperament of his relatives. If he really wants to bring a gift box or buy some expensive fruits, they will feel distressed for a long time, so he might as well get something more affordable.
, a few big bags cost less than a hundred yuan, they like this the best.
After paying the money, Chen Yang took the fruit in his hand and realized that he had bought it early.
Why buy it here? Wouldn’t it be better to wait until you get to Pengjia Village to buy it? This will save you a lot of transportation!
Looking at the several big bags in Chen Yang's hand, Zou Rong also had a headache. After pausing for two seconds, she grabbed them with her two small hands and said, "Let me carry two bags."
"No," Chen Yang naturally shook his head repeatedly. His principle was not to let women do heavy work, let alone his own wife. He was about to think about taking a taxi when suddenly something moved in his heart and he smiled at her, "Wait for me here.
I'll be right back."
