"You brat, are you still in the mood to smoke?"
Before Du Yongxiao had time to react, his mother Li Cuilian grabbed his ear.
"What's the point of changing your career to a plainclothes job? What's the point of offending Yan Xiong? What's the point of borrowing a loan shark?"
"Let go, Mom, it hurts!" Du Yongxiao didn't expect his mother to be so tough and begged for mercy without even bothering to smoke.
"Yes, wife, don't ask three questions in a row! Ah Xiao needs time to explain! Also, he is so old and in civilian clothes. It's embarrassing for you to pull his ears like this!"
"If you don't grab him, why grab you?" Li Cuilian said, "It's ten thousand yuan, how can I pay it back?!"
Du Dapao hurriedly covered his ears, "Then you should grab him! Ah Xiao, I'm sorry, I can't protect myself!"
Du Yongxiao was dragged into the house by his mother, his handsome image completely gone.
"Listen to my explanation - I am working as a plainclothes employee because I ranked first in the written examination. I did not mean to offend Yan Xiong. As for borrowing money from loan sharks, don't worry, I have a way to solve it!"
Du Yongxiao finished speaking in one breath and told the whole story in detail, and then said that Li Cuilian didn't need to worry. He was now a plainclothes and could easily pay off the debt.
How can Li Cuilian believe it? Ten thousand yuan is not a small amount, and it might kill the whole family!
Looking at the four walls of her family, even if she really owed money, she would have nothing to do.
Li Cuilian let go, and Du Yongxiao was still frightened.
Du Dapao tried to smooth things over by saying, "Ten thousand yuan is not a lot. I used to do business in my hometown in Chaozhou and I have hired people with ten thousand yuan! Besides, our Axiao is a Wenquxing. Look at how casual he is." I ranked first in the written test, so impressive!"
"It's up to you!" Li Cuilian scolded, "If you hadn't ruined the whole family by gambling, Ah Xiao wouldn't have applied for the police force! Ah Shun wouldn't have gone to the dock to work hard, and Amei wouldn't have been unable to pay the tuition for school. !”
Du Dapao was scolded so much that he didn't dare to say a word.
The Du family is from Chaozhou. There are five people in the family. Originally, their family was very well off and they were engaged in soap business in Chaozhou. After arriving in Hong Kong, Du Dapao took 30,000 yuan in capital and originally planned to return to his old business. Unexpectedly, he got into the bad habit of gambling and soon ruined his family fortune.
"I don't want to! Isn't it because of this family that I'm gambling? If I win, we will become rich immediately!"
"What a win! Nine times out of ten, you lose. If you can win, I won't have to work in the plastic flower factory day and night!" Li Cuilian became angrier as she spoke. She grabbed a feather duster and whipped it on her husband.
"Don't fight, don't fight! It's not good for children to see you!" Du Dapao hurriedly hid behind Du Yongxiao.
Du Yongxiao had to protect his father in turn. Seeing this, Li Cuilian had to stop, "You two are both good!" She threw away the feather duster and went to cook.
Du Dapao patted his heart, "It scared me to death. Your mother really doesn't give you any face! I'm a man too, I want face too!"
As he spoke, Du Dapao stood up again and put his arms around Du Yongxiao's neck: "Good boy, luckily I gave you a good name, Yongxiao Yongxiao, so that you will always be filial and know how to protect me in times of crisis!"
"Wouldn't it be better if you named me Yongfa? I'll always be rich, what auspiciousness!"
"You brat, you're making fun of your dad!" Du Dapao patted Du Yongxiao on the shoulder, "Take off this suit quickly and let me try it on! I haven't worn a suit in a long time. I used to wear a suit when selling soap in Chaozhou. Wear a tie and everyone calls me handsome!"
Du Yongxiao had just taken off his white suit, and before he could hand it to his father, Li Cuilian had already come over from the stove and snatched it away. She patted it carefully with her hands, fearing that the suit would be stained by Du Dapao, and scolded: "It's so good. Are you wearing the same thing? Look at the fabric, look at the handiwork - Tomorrow Ah Xiao will rely on it to support his appearance, don't get it wrinkled!"
With that said, Li Cuilian found a clothes support and wanted to hang up the suit. However, her family was poor and they didn't even have a clothes support. So she had no choice but to ask Du Dapao to temporarily find a piece of wire and bend a clothes support. support.
Here, Du Dapao reluctantly held up his suit and hung it in the corner. Looking left and right, he felt that it matched him very well. He turned around and saw his wife glaring at him. He coughed hurriedly: "I was thinking about Ah Xiao." It’s different than before.”
"What's the difference?"
"He used to be like a dull gourd, but now he is so fierce! And his walking posture is so awkward! Those who didn't know better thought he was some kind of detective!"
Li Cuilian was stunned for a moment, then slapped her husband on the head, "Is the baby I gave birth to fake?"
"No!" Du Dapao screamed and was busy protecting his head.
…
The fire had just started on the stove when Du Yongshun, the second son, came back from work at the dock with five eggs in his hand.
Du Yongshun is fifteen years old this year, but he is very powerful. When he was a child, he had a fever and burned out his brain. He has some intellectual problems and cannot read, so he can only work hard at the dock.
Today he learned that his brother had returned from the New Territories and bought eggs for him to eat.
Du Yongxiao also loved his silly brother very much. After Du Yongshun washed his face, he took out the clothes he had changed and gave them to him.
Du Yongshun was very happy to wear "new clothes". He smiled widely and said to his mother: "Mom, I have new clothes to wear. They were given by my eldest brother!"
Li Cuilian lit the fire to cook, and said "hmm" when she saw this. She felt sour in her heart, feeling that she owed her second son too much. If she hadn't been reluctant to spend money to see a doctor for him, she wouldn't have turned into a fool.
Du Yongxiao felt uncomfortable in his heart.
In his last life, he was an orphan. He worked hard to become a social elite through unscrupulous means. He has luxury cars, mansions, and women. He has everything except his family. In this life, God has given him so many family members, and he must cherish them.
"By the way, there are also these leather shoes!" Du Yongxiao took out the old leather shoes that had been polished and brushed until they were shiny.
Du Yongshun had been coveting these shoes for a long time. When he saw this, he almost laughed out loud with a silly smile.
"Sit down!" Du Yongxiao found a small piece of wood for his younger brother to sit on.
Du Yongshun is very obedient, like a big baby.
Du Yongxiao didn't mind being dirty, so he knelt down and started to help the younger guy take off his rag shoes that were almost exposing his big toes. After loading and unloading goods at the dock for a day, the smell of the younger guy's feet immediately hit him, but Du Yongxiao didn't feel it at all. Disgusted, he even touched the thick calluses on the soles of his feet with his hands, raised his head and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"No pain!"
"Silly man!" Du Yongxiao's heart heated up, "Remember, I will let you wear more new clothes and new shoes in the future, so that you can be happy every day, okay?"
"Yes!" Du Yongshun smiled stupidly and clenched his fists, "If anyone bullies you, tell me and I will beat him!"
Although Du Yongshun is not smart, he is not completely stupid. When he came back just now, he heard that his eldest brother had offended the loan shark Jin Yagui and Detective Hua Yan Xiong. He might suffer a loss, but Du Yongshun would suffer more. Keep an eye out.
"Okay! We brothers work together and we can defeat gold!" Du Yongxiao stood up and patted Du Yongshun on the shoulder.
…
"Brother, you're back!" Just as Du Yongxiao was washing his hands, a sparrow-like little girl jumped in from outside, her pretty and cute face full of surprise.
She is her younger sister, Du Yongmei, who is twelve years old and studying at the Charity College near Shek Kip Mei.
This academy is a Christian college built with donations from the church. All children who go to school here must recognize the Lord Christ and sing carols every day. Only then can they study for free. However, they only have to pay for food and accommodation. Because Du Yongmei cannot afford the accommodation fee, Day reading only.
"Yeah, I haven't seen you grow taller for a few days!" Du Yongxiao wiped his hands and opened his arms towards his sister.
Du Yongmei threw herself into Du Yongxiao's arms, smiling coquettishly: "Did you bring me a gift?"
"Yes!" Du Yongxiao touched her little head and grabbed a handful of mint candies from his trouser pocket, "Hey, your favorite candy!"
"Thank you, brother! You still love me! Hee hee!" Du Yongmei took the candy and peeled it open to eat.
Li Cuilian, who was cooking next to her, said: "Eat less, be careful of tooth decay!"
Du Yongmei stuck out her tongue, picked up the fresh mint candy and said to Du Yongxiao: "Open your mouth."
Du Yongxiao opened his mouth.
Du Yongmei stuffed the candy into his mouth, and then asked her second brother Du Yongshun to open his mouth and put a candy in.
Seeing this, Du Dapao also came over, squatted down, and opened his big mouth like a bird waiting to be fed.
"I won't give it to you! Humph!" Du Yongmei said and ran over to give the peeled candy to her mother. Then she peeled one and stuffed it into her mouth to eat happily.
Du Dapao felt uncomfortable and muttered: "Little girl, don't you treat me as a human being? Without me, where would you be!"
"Come here and light the fire!" Li Cuilian ordered.
"Oh!" Du Dapao walked over.
Li Cuilian picked up the five eggs, wanted to boil a white-shell egg, and threw one in, thinking of replenishing Du Yongxiao's health. He looked at his second son again, sighed, and threw another one into the pot. I took one last look at my daughter and lost another one.
Du Dapao could see clearly that three of the five eggs were lost. It seemed that he was not responsible for it. He swallowed and said, "Do you want to lose another one?"
"What a waste! If you take back the money you lost, I wonder how much you can buy!"
Du Dapao hurriedly shrank his neck and kept silent.
Li Cuilian sighed and burst into tears: "That's 10,000 yuan. If it's not enough, let alone eggs, the whole family will eat ingot candles!"
Here, Du Yongxiao has a clear view of everything and will report to the Kowloon Police Station tomorrow---
Not for yourself, even for this family, you have to give it a try!
