After being in this world for so long, Chen Liyang truly treats them as his own children, even though he is not much older than them.
In fact, he could just walk away and live his own life. Anyway, there is no blood relationship between them and he has no obligation to raise them.
But when he thought that he was gone and these five children became orphans without parents and no guarantee of life, his heart hurt as if someone had cut them out with a knife.
In the real world, he is just a loser. He has reached the end of his life and has no hope.
But it's different now. He has five smart and sensible children, and his life is very fulfilling, tiring and happy every day. Perhaps this is the meaning of God letting him come through, to heal and redeem each other.
Especially when he saw the five children holding watermelons and gnawing on them, with happy and satisfied faces, at that moment his heart seemed to be filled with something, and he was more satisfied than ever before.
"Eat slowly, I see all the watermelon juice you ate is flowing on your body." Chen Liyang wiped Wan Ning and Xiao Bei's mouths with a tissue.
"This watermelon is so sweet." Zhou Chengdong was hot and thirsty. After eating this sweet and juicy watermelon, his tongue could swallow it all.
Chen Liyang looked proud after hearing this: "That's right, we don't even care who picked the watermelon."
Looking at Chen Liyang's beaming expression, if he had a tail, he might be able to lift it up to the sky.
Zhou Chengdong hummed in a low voice: "Well, you are the best!"
But he was eating watermelon in his mouth, his voice was not loud, and his words were a little slurred. Chen Liyang didn't hear what he said clearly: "What did you say?"
"No... nothing!" Zhou Chengdong shook his head repeatedly, then continued to eat watermelon with his head down. If you look closely, you will find that the entire back of his neck is red.
After eating the watermelon, Chen Liyang looked at the time, it was already five o'clock.
The children had eaten snacks just now, and now they have eaten watermelon. I'm afraid they don't have enough food in their stomachs.
He planned to cook dinner after he came back from setting up the stall today, so he asked several children for their opinions, and they all agreed that they were indeed not hungry at the moment.
Knowing that he hadn't left home so soon, Zhou Chengnan went to the third child's room to do his homework.
He had already completed more than half of his summer homework, and he wanted to finish it as soon as possible so that he would have time to go to the library to read later.
Chen Liyang wrapped the remaining half of the watermelon in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. Then he rushed to the air-conditioned room to rest with the boss, who was a big wolf dog by his side.
Zhou Chengdong graduated from the third grade of junior high school this year and is now a freshman in high school, so he has no summer homework.
Seeing his second son doing homework at the desk, Zhou Chengdong didn't say anything for fear of disturbing him.
Just as I was sitting on the bed, I saw the second child rustling and I didn't know what he was doing. When I got closer, I found that he was eating chewing gum.
Guessing that this should be something Chen Liyang bought for him, he immediately stretched out his hand: "Boy, give me a piece."
I thought that the second child would immediately take out a piece from the box and give it to him, but who knew that he would actually hide it in his arms like a treasure? He was even afraid that he would snatch it. He bowed his whole body forward and said the words of rejection: "No. ,this is mine."
This reaction surprised Zhou Chengdong. In his opinion, the second brother was not a stingy person. He would even give his own food to his younger brothers and sisters even when he couldn't eat enough before.
Now you are living a normal life, you don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, and you still have snacks to eat. Why are you so stingy?
"What's the matter with you? There's still so much in the box, why are you so stingy?"
Zhou Chengnan was unmoved: "This is mine anyway. If you want to eat it, buy it yourself."
Zhou Chengdong laughed angrily: "I gave him all the money, what did you want me to buy?
Okay, I won’t give it if I don’t want to. I didn’t expect you to be such a stingy person. "The eldest brother must have the demeanor of an eldest brother. If the younger brother doesn't want to give it, he can't take it by force.
I just feel that this is too inconsistent with the character of the second child, as if what I want is not chewing gum, but his life. Does a piece of chewing gum matter?
Not caring what the boss thought, Zhou Chengnan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him sit back on the bed. If the boss tried to grab him, he really couldn't grab him.
Staring at the chewing gum in his hand, the image of Chen Liyang calmly buying him chewing gum appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but tighten his hands.
At six o'clock in the evening, as the sun set, Chen Liyang set off with his children.
There aren't many toys left and there aren't many options to choose from, so today's sales aren't as good as the previous two days.
But more than half of it was sold, and the income was 500 plus. After excluding the cost, I still made a small profit of 300.
This amount of money is either a lot or a lot less. If Chen Liyang wants to invest, he must have more capital, so the stakes must continue to be set up.
But besides setting up a stall, he had to think of other ways to make money.
At eight o'clock, the lanterns came on, and the curtain fell in the sky. Scattered stars were floating in the sky, but they were not as shining as the moon.
People were coming and going in the square, and some people put on heavy doll costumes to attract customers for their shops, and all this was for the sake of living.
Chen Liyang put the remaining toys into a bag and planned to take the children home.
At this moment, a young man and woman called out to Chen Liyang: "Sir, wait!"
Chen Liyang stopped and looked at the two people walking over. They both wore glasses and had clean faces. The man was dressed very casually, and the girl was wearing a white skirt and was very ladylike. At first glance, she looked like an artistic young man.
One of them is holding a camera, and the other is holding a photo frame on the stage, but you can't see whether there are any photos.
The children also looked at them with some vigilance.
"Hello sir, we are majoring in photography and we are shooting night scenes.
We happened to see you and your children setting up a stall here to make money. We thought this picture was very warm and beautiful, so we took it on our own initiative, and then developed the photo at a nearby photo studio.
Now we want to send this photo to you, okay? "The person who spoke was a girl, and her voice was soft and nice.
After saying that, she handed over the photo frame in her hand. There was a twelve-inch photo in the photo frame.
In the photo, Chen Liyang is wiping Wan Ning's sweat, the eldest brother is showing the children who are buying toys how to play the toys, and the second child is introducing the price to the children's parents.
The camera zooms out, and you can see the third and fourth children struggling to introduce their toys to people passing by.
Obviously there are many passers-by in the photo, but the six of them are like luminous bodies. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that they are the protagonists of the photo.
Chen Liyang fell in love with this photo at first sight. The very plain but very warm picture fixed the memories of him and his children in it.
