In the afternoon, Xu Damao, who returned from the factory, brought the news of Jia Dongxu's death.
Chen Jingnian was a little worried, not because of anything else, but because he was worried that his daughter would be scared.
Chen Jingsheng and his wife passed away one after another, and the one who was hurt the most was Nannan.
Nannan was young and lost her parents and close relatives one after another. On the one hand, she was sad, but mainly because of fear.
At that time, after a person passed away, they would stay at home for a few days. This situation was very shocking and terrifying for a child.
My daughter's timidity was left over from that time. Because of this, she would always wake up in the middle of the night and sometimes urinate on the bed.
It was not until last year that Nannan got over her problem of peeing at night.
"You can only send it to your godmother!"
Chen Jingnian took some leave in the afternoon and hurried back home.
There were many people coming in and out of the yard, carrying wood, white cloth and other things, and faint cries could be heard.
Chen Jingnian pushed the car to the door of the main house, opened the door and ran into the house.
"Uncle Wu, my daughter."
Li Xianwen was telling a story to his daughter, and his voice was so loud that it could be heard outside the house.
"Uncle Wu, I plan to let my daughter go to stay with her godmother for a few days."
Seeing that Li Xianwen had no intention of stopping, Chen Jingnian had no choice but to raise his voice.
Li Xianwen nodded while talking, until Chen Jinnian put his daughter in his arms and covered her ears.
"Go quickly and get this money."
Li Xianwen reached out and took out a handful of money and handed it over.
"No, Fifth Uncle, I haven't touched the reward money from the factory yet, and I gave it to my godmother and she can't take it back."
Chen Jingnian held his daughter in his arms, said something to Li Xianwen and ran out.
I picked up my daughter's schoolbag and the mesh bag for her lunch box, pushed the car and rushed out of the alley.
When he reached the entrance of the alley, Chen Jinnian put his daughter on the bumper of the car.
"Brother, I'm not afraid."
The little girl lay on the handlebar and spoke softly.
"Well, brother knows that Nannan is not afraid. Nannan is a big child. She can pick up bowls and take care of Uncle Wu. She is studying well. I am sending you to your godmother's house today because she misses you."
Chen Jingnian rode fast all the way, until he got to the main road and there were more people, then he slowed down.
"Brother, my eldest sister is so timid! She even cried when she took me to sleep."
Nannan watched the street become lively with people coming and going, and she became more lively. She straightened her back and looked around to watch the excitement.
Chen Jingnian saw a shop selling sesame sesame cakes next to the shopping street, so he went over and bought six sesame cakes, and bought a candy ear for his daughter next to the shop selling sesame cakes.
Put the sesame cake into your pocket and let your daughter hold the candy ears wrapped in oil paper.
Nannan had spiritual sustenance and began to talk more.
After riding to Zhao Changshun's home, Nannan was basically back to normal.
"sister!"
"ax!"
When Chen Huiling opened the door, her face turned pale and she spoke with a vibrato.
"Sister, everything is fine at home."
Chen Jinnian took his daughter down and said with a smile.
When Chen Huiling saw her brother smiling, her tense face relaxed.
"Come in quickly, my parents are just going out. They will be back in a moment. I will come over and pack your brother-in-law's clothes."
"Sister, please try it. Brother won't let me eat it because I'm afraid that the wind will get into my stomach."
Chen Huiling hugged her daughter, and she reached out and handed over the candy ears.
"Hey, sister, I just finished eating. I'll pour some hot water for you later. Drink the hot water before eating."
Chen Huiling put her forehead on her daughter's head and led the two of them into the house.
"Nanny, after drinking this cup, you can only eat half a cup."
Chen Huiling poured a cup of hot water and put it on the square table, squatted down and gave instructions to her daughter.
"Half a glass!"
Nannan felt a little worried and slid her finger down halfway.
"That's all, there can't be any less."
Chen Huiling tapped Nannan's forehead, making her laugh out loud.
"Today, Jia Dongxu had an accident in the backyard. When I came home, a funeral shed was being set up in the backyard. Sister, my daughter..."
Chen Jinnian and Chen Huiling briefly talked about the matter, and Chen Huiling reached out and hugged her sister.
"Then I'll take my daughter to live here these days. It just so happens that your brother-in-law is working the night shift this week."
After knowing that nothing happened at home, Chen Huiling returned to her usual calm state. Before Chen Jinnian finished speaking, she had already made arrangements in her heart.
"Sister, I heard from my godfather and godmother that you only ate steamed buns at school. How can this be okay? We have to repay the debt, but we can't ruin our bodies in order to repay the debt. Our mother was in good health before, but you can't
Don’t take this as a lesson.”
Chen Jingnian looked at his sister who was still as old as ever, and couldn't help but want to say a few more words.
"I know, I'm fine. Your brother-in-law will buy me some delicious food if he's fine. Dad and mom will send things over from time to time. They even prepared some eggs for me before, saying that you sent them to them."
Chen Huiling asked Chen Jinnian to sit on the stool and poured him a glass of water.
"Sister, here are some sesame cakes. You can try them later, and the factory will give me a reward."
As Chen Jinnian spoke, he took out something and took out a stack of money. Chen Huiling's eyes froze when she saw the money.
"If you are like this, you are no longer my sister. My godfather and godmother have helped our family so much inside and outside. It is useless for me to have money now. If I give it to my godmother, she will definitely not want it. Just say that at school
I earn money by writing materials for others, so my godfather and godmother can accept it."
Chen Jinnian seemed unaware and continued to finish his words.
"Sister, just take it!"
Nannan finally drank half the glass of water and heard what was said behind her, so she couldn't help but say.
"Axe, you're grown up now, and you want to start a family!"
Chen Huiling's eyes turned red and tears flowed down her face.
"Oh, isn't money just for spending? Look at you, how big a deal you are. If you take good care of your health and achieve a great career in the future, I will point to you and give me pocket money!"
Chen Jinnian put the money into his sister's hand, his consciousness was concentrated, his thoughts were divergent, and his eye circles were red.
Even though she knew her brother was faking it, Chen Huiling still panicked and wanted to wipe Chen Jingnian's eyes. Since it was inconvenient to hold money in her right hand, she panicked and knocked over the cup with her left hand.
"Ah, I'll get a rag."
Chen Huiling yelled and quickly took the rag from the stove to block the water flowing down.
"Sister, I'm leaving."
Chen Jingnian got up and went out. When Chen Huiling took the money and chased him out, he had already turned out of the alley on his bicycle.
Chen Huiling came back, wiped the table clean, and squeezed the money in her hands again and again.
"Sister, none of our teachers know the questions my brother asked me. The third uncle will run away when he sees me now."
Nannan was chewing on her candy ears, not caring about what was happening outside.
"Sister, I'll make you some sugar water, and you can eat some candy ears."
Chen Huiling smoothed the money, folded it, and put it into her pocket.
"Sister, these candy ears are delicious, please help me eat some!"
"Then I'll save it for you to eat tomorrow."
"Sister, I'll sleep outside at night."
"Ah, okay!"
Chen Huiling closed the door, took out the brown sugar jar from the cupboard, put a little less sugar into the water glass, and made a cup of slightly sweet water.
Chen Jingnian bought four pancakes on the road. When he returned to the courtyard, people coming and going in the courtyard were all going to or coming out of the backyard.
Chen Jingnian put the car away, locked the warehouse, went back to the house, washed his hands, changed into old clothes, put on a pair of gloves, locked the door of the side room and went to the main room.
"Uncle Wu, let's deal with each other."
Chen Jingnian put the fried cake on the table and poured two cups of hot water.
"Nanny, are you okay?"
Li Xianwen leaned against the kang table and took a glass of water and a piece of fried cake.
"It's okay, I forgot everything just because of the candy ears. When I came out from my godmother's house, they were still eating. My sister happened to be there, and they have been living there these days!"
Chen Jingnian took a sip of hot water and took a bite of the fried cake.
"That's good, Lingling is also timid!"
After sending his daughter away, Li Xianwen felt relieved and drank hot water and ate fried cakes.
After a few mouthfuls and a piece of pancake, Chen Jinnian drank the hot water, put the cup back on the plate, and said, "Uncle Wu, I'm going to the backyard to take a look. I'll lend a hand if you need help."
"Go ahead and put this in your pocket."
Li Xianwen took out a small piece of red cloth from the side as he spoke.
"Okay, you eat slowly and I'll give you some water."
Chen Jingnian took the red cloth and put it into his pants pocket, poured the water and came out. This chapter has been completed!
