The next day, Cheng Xiang gnawed on the persimmons and looked at the wedding candies he had brought back from the wedding banquet yesterday on the table.
Thinking of the conversation between Zhang Qingxiang and Su Qing yesterday, Cheng Xiang's mother was mentioned.
Ten years ago? Is it the time when the original owner’s mother died?
Grandma said that the original owner's mother died of a heart attack. Could it be related to Su Qing?
Cheng Xiang tidied up and put two packs of wedding candies into his bag.
I got on my bicycle and went to Shilipu.
When she walked to the door of Old Man Zhang's house, she vaguely saw a figure at the end of the alley, turning around and disappearing.
Cheng Xiang hesitated and asked: Could it be that Cheng Ningning really came to see Old Man Zhang?
She carried the gifts and walked into Old Man Zhang's home. The home seemed deserted. The tools that Old Man Zhang used to work with were piled scatteredly against the wall. The few chickens that had been running in the yard were also missing, which seemed a little... depression.
Cheng Xiang opened the door and walked into the house.
A sour smell hit him, and Cheng Xiang walked in with a slight frown.
I saw old man Zhang half leaning on the kang, looking dazed, with a heavy face, and a dazed look. He looked older and weaker than before.
Lian Cheng wanted to walk in without noticing.
"Uncle Zhang." Cheng Xiang called out and walked over.
Old man Zhang's distracted eyes drifted over. When he saw Cheng Xiang, he thought for a while, then squeezed out a smile on his face and made a gesture: "Why are you here?"
Cheng Xiang walked over, put the things on the table, smiled slightly and said, "I heard from Brother Zhang that you are sick. I came to see you."
Old man Zhang smiled naively and waved his hands: "I am old and no longer useful."
Cheng thought: "Take care and you will get better."
Looking at the old man's bitter smile, Cheng Xiang suddenly didn't know how to comfort him or how to ask.
She hesitated and asked, "Has Ning Ning come to see you?"
Old man Zhang's face darkened and he shook his head slightly.
But that figure just now seemed familiar. It was a woman's voice. It wasn't Cheng Ningning. Could it be...
Cheng Xiang suppressed the doubts in his heart and took out two packs of candies from his bag: "Ningning, you're married. I went to the wedding yesterday. These are her wedding candies. I'll bring them to you."
Then he put the candy in the old man's hand.
The old man held the candy in his hand, feeling a little surprised and a little relieved. He made a gesture to Cheng wanted to say: "Thank you."
Then looking at the candy in his hand, the old man's expression became very sad, he sighed, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, and he smiled.
Cheng Xiang's mother's heart moved slightly: "Actually, Ning Ning wants to come to see you, but she just got married and has many things to do. Moreover, she is pregnant and may not be feeling well. She will come back to see you after she is done with her work. You should take good care of yourself and wait until she gives you a grandson."
Cheng Xiang comforted the old man.
The old man looked up at her, with a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes. He stared at Cheng Xiang, his eyes seemed to contain a thousand words.
"Do you have something to tell me?" Cheng Xiang asked tentatively/
The old man raised his hand and made a series of gestures. Cheng thought that he had learned some simple sign language before, but she couldn't understand such a long, complex, and fast sign language. She only saw a few words, "I'm sorry, mother." , past, future, thank you and other simple words.
Cheng Xiang frowned and read the old man's sign language, full of doubts: "What are you talking about? I can't quite understand? Is it related to my mother? Do you know anything about my mother?" "
After the old man finished the sign language, he seemed a little excited and had difficulty breathing. He looked at Cheng Xiang weakly, shook his head with a sad expression, and gestured: "I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while."
The master gave the order to expel the guests, and Cheng didn't want to stay any longer. He comforted the old man again, then stood up and left.
Old man Zhang does seem to be in poor spirits, and it's hard to keep asking questions. Since Zhang Qingxiang also knows about this, I should find an opportunity to ask him in the future.
Cheng wanted to ride home and passed by Chen Jiao's greenhouse, so he went in to take a look.
When Chen Jiao saw her, she repeatedly blamed her for running around while pregnant.
Cheng Xiang was embarrassed and explained this oolong incident to Chen Jiao.
Chen Jiao said with regret and pity: "Oh, I thought I was going to be an aunt."
Cheng Xiang smiled and said, "What kind of aunt do you want? When I give birth to a child, I will recognize you as my godmother."
Not only do you have to hug the rich woman's lap, but you also have to hug your own child. This is called parents' love for their children.
Chen Jiao's eyes lit up: "Really? Can I?"
Cheng Xiang put his arm around her shoulders: "Of course, if we have children of different genders in the future, we can still be in-laws."
Chen Jiao chuckled and said shyly: "What are you talking about? Where did I get my child? Where is the child's father?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the greenhouse door was opened, and Zhang Qingxiang walked in. When he saw Cheng Xiang, he greeted him naively: "Cheng Xiang is here? Chen Jiao asked me to prepare the fish for you. Just take it."
Cheng Xiang and Chen Jiao were both stunned, and then Cheng Xiang looked at Chen Jiao meaningfully and smiled, saying that she is your employee, and she knits sweaters for her employees? Also instructing employees to go fishing for friends? Also asked where the child’s father is?
Chen Jiao was so embarrassed that Cheng Xiang laughed, and looked at her angrily: "I asked Xiaotian to go fishing for you to eat. Xiaotian was too busy, so Brother Zhang helped to remove it. Whether she is pregnant or not, you can wait for a while Take it away."
Zhang Qingxiang picked up the hoe and started weeding, and then said to Chen Jiao: "I caught two, you can eat one too. Aren't you always dizzy? Give it a try too."
Chen Jiao responded in a low voice: "Hey, okay"
Cheng Xiang smiled slightly, and then said to Zhang Qingxiang: "Brother Zhang, I went to see Uncle Zhang today. He doesn't look good."
Zhang Qingxiang stopped what he was doing and said with a heavy expression, "Yes, I'm taking medicine."
"I have a friend in the city hospital. If you need anything, you can talk to me." Cheng thought.
Zhang Qingxiang whispered: "No need, I've seen a doctor."
Cheng Xiang understood in his heart that old man Zhang's illness was partly due to illness, but the most important thing was heart disease.
I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate to ask about those old things now, so I kept silent and said nothing more.
The three of them chatted for a while.
Chen Jiao asked: "How is the planning for Brother Tianlei's branch factory going?"
Cheng Xiang really didn't know much about this matter. She only knew that the town had already marked out the land. She didn't ask where it was now, and Zhou Tianlei rarely talked about it at home.
"I don't know either." Cheng Xiang said.
Chen Jiao smiled and said, "You're the boss lady, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Cheng Xiang smiled brightly. He was very lucky. He came here through a book, got married casually, and turned out to be a nouveau riche. He made a friend and turned out to be a rich woman in the future. Alas, there is nothing I can do about my fate.
Chen Jiao then said: "I heard from Xiaotian that now we have to choose the construction team to build the factory. Several construction teams are eyeing this piece of meat. I guess there are many people who are fawning over Brother Lei recently."
Everyone knows that working for Zhou Tianlei will result in quick settlement and no arrears, and the scale of the new factory is not small. If we can win this project, the benefits will indeed be considerable.
"The more you please and fawn over, the more people you will offend in the future," Cheng Xiang said quietly.
Chen Jiao smiled after hearing this: "That's the truth, but Brother Lei has never cared about this."
That's true, his choice naturally has his own considerations, and he doesn't care about your relationship or whether he will offend you.
"By the way, I saw Zhou Jinhua in the village today." Chen Jiao said again.
