At noon, Niu Xin went out to buy a lot of wine and meat, and Ma Min also fryed a few dishes. The family of three had a hearty lunch. Looking forward to the future, Niu Xin and Ma Min burst into tears excitedly. The son was promising, and they were so proud!
After lunch, Niu Bi took the roast goose bought by Niu Xin and went to a nearby neighbor's house.
A house that is even more dilapidated than Niu Bi's family, with blue bricks and mud tiles, and straw and tarpaulin on the roof. When you walk into the house, it is so dark and damp that it makes people feel depressed. The space of less than 30 square meters is Niu Bi's destination.
"Aunt Wu, Yu Yan, are you at home?" Niu Bi shouted into the room as soon as she arrived at the door.
The door was opened, and a woman in her thirties appeared in front of her. The woman was beautiful, but her face was unhealthy and pale, her figure was a bit thin, and she showed obvious malnutrition. She was wearing common street stall goods and was washed white.
Seeing Niu Bi, the woman smiled: "Bi Bi is here, come in quickly."
This woman is Niu Bi's neighbor, her full name is Wu Nan. She is only 35 years old this year. She is a very miserable woman. She was passed by someone when she was young, which has caused her to be taciturn and almost sickly guarded against strangers. However, she is not very wary of Niu Bi's family, and she likes Niu Bi very much and treats Niu Bi as her son.
Niu Bi was not polite, and walked in. When she walked into the house, she saw a thin little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old sitting in front of the shabby small square table. The girl's appearance was amazing, but her face was also unhealthy pale, and she was wearing a white dress, which made the girl look extremely holy and innocent. She was holding a shabby Chinese book and watching it seriously.
"Yu Yan." Seeing this little girl, Niu Bi screamed softly.
The little girl turned her head and saw Niu Bi. She showed a happy smile on her face. She stood up and gestured with her hands.
"Well, here we come, Yuyan, you and Aunt Wu have not eaten yet! This is the roast goose that my dad just bought, eat it quickly!" Niu Bi smiled and put the roast goose on the table.
This girl named Yuyan is a natural mute, her full name is Wu Yuyan. She is 15 years old this year. She is the product of Wu Nan being after being ###. Although God gave Wu Yuyan a beautiful appearance, she permanently deprived her of the right to speak. Because she was born to be a mute, she was bullied by children of the same age since she was a child. Later, Niu Bi saw it once and taught the trash boys who bullied her a lesson. From then on, Wu Yuyan became Niu Bi's little tail and liked Niu Bi very much.
Because he couldn't speak, Wu Yuyan learned sign language at a very young age. In order to facilitate communication with her, Niu Bi slowly understood sign language. However, Wu Yuyan was only dumb and not deaf, so Niu Bi could communicate with Wu Yuyan with only voice.
Seeing the roast goose, Wu Yuyan couldn't help swallowing and gestured with both hands.
Niu Bi smiled slightly: "You're welcome, Brother Bi, I'll be rich in the future. It's okay to treat you to roast goose every day in the future."
Wu Nan asked curiously: "Bibi, what did you say? Why did you make a fortune?"
Wu Nan knew that Niu Bi had been working as a loader and unloader in the past two years. Although she made a lot of money every day, she had no connection with getting rich. There was no way to start with the words "get rich".
Niu Bi smiled slightly: "Aunt Wu, you don't know! I learned slaughtering from someone a few days ago and found another cheap source of goods. Today I set up a meat stall on the side of the road. I sold it cheaper than others and had a very good business. I made more than 700 in the morning. Do you think I will get rich in the future?"
"More than seven hundred!?" Wu Nan was startled: "Bibi, is it true?"
Wu Yuyan blinked her spiritual eyes, which were full of worship.
Niu Bi smiled and said, "Of course it's true. Aunt Wu, I will definitely make more and more money in the future. If the business is not good and I can't be busy, just stop working as a cleaner. I will help me. I will pay you 200 yuan a day, and Yuyan. If you are the image spokesperson of my meat stall, I will give you 100 yuan a day."
Wu Yuyan's eyes lit up and her hands gestured repeatedly, as if she was saying, "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Niu Bi patted his chest: "When did Brother Bi not keep his word? But wait, because Brother Bi's business has only opened. After a while, his popularity has increased. I will definitely ask you and Aunt Wu to help me."
Wu Yuyan was very excited, her face turned red, she nodded repeatedly, and gestured with her hands.
"What are you grateful for!" Niu Bi held Wu Yuyan in her arms and kissed her in the face hard: "You are my wife, my money is yours. When we make enough money, we will buy a big house in a good location in the city and let's move in together."
After being kissed by Niu Bi, Wu Yuyan's little face was almost smoking when she heard what Niu Bi said. Her face was buried in Niu Bi's arms, both ashamed and happy.
Niu Bi said that Wu Yuyan was his wife, or the agreement between two young men and women in childhood. Niu Bi was only 11 years old and Wu Yuyan was 9 years old. Because Wu Yuyan was always bullied, Niu Bi was used to standing up for her. After knocking away the gangsters who bullied Wu Yuyan, Niu Bi said to Wu Yuyan: "Don't be afraid, I heard that my husband should protect his wife. In the future, you should be my wife and I will protect you."
At that time, Niu Bi didn't know the meaning of her husband and wife at all. She was just a joke to pretend to be a little adult. However, after Niu Bi entered puberty, she gradually came into contact with things between the two genders and understood what her husband and wife meant. However, he did not regret it, but regarded this sentence as his lifelong commitment and responsibility. Since then, Niu Bi has regarded Wu Yuyan as her daughter-in-law and bought some delicious food to supplement her nutrition. However, the two were too young after all, and they didn't understand what they should do between husband and wife, and they were not very embarrassed. So far, the two have only developed to the level of hugging and kissing, which is still far from being a real couple!
However, Niu Xin, Ma Min and Wu Nan still had a happy attitude towards this "abnormal" relationship between Niu Bi and Wu Yuyan.
First of all, both families are poor and have equal identities. Secondly, Niu Bi is tall and handsome, while Wu Yuyan is taller and more beautiful, and the two can match their appearance. In addition, the two have had a very good relationship since childhood. Niu Bi protects Wu Yuyan like a wild bison protecting her. Whoever dares to bully Wu Yuyan will inevitably make the other party's head bleed. Wu Yuyan is as sucked as a small tail, and she is unwilling to separate at all times. In addition, Niu Bi and Wu Yuyan are only two years apart, and are of the right age. Although Wu Yuyan is born to be able to speak, she is skillful, can do any housework, and is gentle and kind-hearted. Although Niu Bi is not very tuned, she is enthusiastic and generous, full of justice, and can endure hardships. In this case, the parents of both parties naturally have no objection. They just wait for the two children to grow up and reach the age of marriage, and will hold weddings for the two children.
When Wu Nan saw her daughter snuggling happily in Niu Bi's arms, a hint of relief and loneliness flashed in her eyes. She remembered that when she was young, she was also a flower that everyone loved, but once misfortune made her pregnant with a sin. Out of the greatness of her motherhood, Wu Nan cut off relations with her family, came to the slums, and gave birth to Wu Yuyan. The originally happy life turned into misfortune. Her daughter was born unable to speak and had no source of income. In the end, she was unable to work as a cleaner and relied on her meager income to maintain the survival of her mother and daughter every month.
As the saying goes, there are many troubles in front of the widow. Wu Nan is alone with a child and beautiful, so naturally attracted the covetment of many perverts. But at this time, Niu Xin stepped forward and broke the legs of five or six hooligans with a shovel, shocking everyone. Since then, Wu Nan has developed a sense of closeness to Niu Bi's family and has a sense of dependence. Later, Niu Bi and Wu Yuyan's closeness made Wu Nan feel even more relieved. But at this moment, she felt envious and jealous for no reason, but in the end she could only turn into extremely loneliness and sad for her life.
Wu Nan chopped the roast goose and ate it with Wu Yuyan, steamed buns, pickles, and millet porridge, which was particularly sweet.
Wu Nan works as a cleaner and only earns over 1,000 yuan a month, which is pitiful. Now the small steamed bun is 50 cents a day, and each egg is about two yuan. Needless to say, the meat is too expensive. He can only eat some steamed buns, pickles, and millet porridge every day. Over time, it has caused both mother and daughter to be malnourished and weak and sickly. If it weren't for the help of Niu Bi's family from time to time, the mother and daughter would have been unable to stand it.
The mother and daughter have not eaten a roast goose that costs dozens of yuan for a long time. Fortunately, Niu Bi has been a loader and unloader for two years and has made some money. She will also send some meat to her every now and then. Compared to two years ago, the mother and daughter's situation is already quite good.
Niu Bi sat on a double bed made of broken bricks and wooden boards. When her butt was gently squeaking, she made a creaking sound and frowned: "Aunt Wu, the wooden board is not very strong, it's time to change it."
Wu Nan took a sip of millet porridge and smiled bitterly: "It's okay, I put two rows of bricks under it, so I can sleep if I make do with it."
"Oh." Niu Bi held the edge of the door panel with both hands and stood up: "Aunt Wu, Yuyan, you guys eat, I'm back."
Wu Nan and Wu Yuyan quickly stood up: "Bibi, why are you doing so anxious? Let's sit for a while!"
Wu Yuyan also pulled Niu Bi's arm, kept gestured with her hands, and looked begging on her face.
Niu Bi touched Wu Yuyan's face and smiled and said, "It's not that I'm not here anymore. Be obedient. I'll go back and come here later."
Wu Yuyan blinked her innocent big eyes and made a gesture: "Really?"
"Really." Niu Bi nodded: "I'll be back in an hour at most."
After receiving the guarantee, Wu Yuyan smiled and let go of her hand. Niu Bi touched her face again, turned her head to Wu Nan and said, "Aunt Wu, you eat slowly, I'll come over later."
"Then you slow down, Aunt Wu won't send you away." Knowing that Niu Bi will come back in a while, Wu Nan will no longer try to keep him.
"What are you going to give me! I'll leave after eating you guys." Niu Bi smiled and left.
