At this point, Cui Guide paused, took a few breaths, calmed down, and then continued: "My mother and I have been sick and sick these years, and we can't even take care of ourselves. Don't worry about him... He will become like this, mostly because of me!"
"I don't know how to compensate you. You can keep this basket of eggs first and help the Red Guards recuperate..." Cui Guide slid the basket of eggs he brought to Qu Zhongdong, probably because he felt ashamed. Panicked, a rare blush appeared on his cheeks.
Of course Qu Zhongdong and the others refused to accept it, "Your Cui Fuxing is still a baby who hasn't grown up. He did something wrong. You parents should take responsibility. But he is already twenty this year, so he is an adult." Now, you should be responsible for whether it's good or bad, right? There's no reason for us to blame you and your wife. Where are the eggs, just take them back."
"Yes, Guide, please take the eggs back. Don't you and Chunhua be reluctant to eat them? After your body and bones have been well nourished, are you going to have a hard time?"
"You and your wife didn't have any involvement in those messy things, so what's the matter with you two?!"
"We can't take these eggs."
Everyone means the same thing.
"I, I'm really——" The more reasonable Qu Zhongdong's family became, the less Cui Guide could say his request. He himself felt that it was too much to mention this.
"What's wrong? Is there any difficulty? Just say it." Seeing Cui Guide babbled for a while but still couldn't get to the point, Qu Zhongdong had no choice but to take the initiative. He couldn't stand people who said half-words and left half-words. I'm anxious to death.
"I want to say, can you please take back that sentence, the one that said Fuxing shouldn't be admitted to college." Cui Guide gritted his teeth and spoke out his plan in one go. He was afraid that If I linger any longer, I won’t have the courage to say, “I know I shouldn’t mention this shamelessly, but, but—”
Originally, Xiao Quning had a good impression of Cui Guide and thought he was quite reasonable, completely different from Cui Fuxing. She didn't expect that Cui Guide would make such a request, and she felt quite uncomfortable and her face hurt a little.
The rest of the Qu family just laughed. Since they knew it shouldn't be done, why did they bring it up? !
Just at this time, someone stood at the gate and asked, in a low tone, as if he was out of energy. The visitor announced his door and said he was Cai Chunhua, the wife of Team 5 Guide. Her appearance made Cui Guide shut up.
For a moment, the mood of the Qu family was a little subtle. How should I put it, the timing of Cai Chunhua's arrival was too coincidental, and it was difficult for them not to murmur - are the couple planning to take turns to fight, and then sing together?
After thinking about it, the Qu family simply responded. To be honest, they were quite curious and wanted to hear what Cai Chunhua had to say.
"You know you shouldn't mention it shamelessly, but you still mention it?! Aren't you embarrassed?" Cai Chunhua scolded Cui Guide as soon as she entered the yard, "Little darling baby is right, just because of the things he did , you should fail the exam."
deideidei……
Qu Zhongdong and the others nodded, feeling extremely comfortable. Cai Chunhua's words were so poignant. They were entirely from their hearts.
"I know, but he ended up in this situation because I didn't take good care of him. I can't just let him go as soon as he makes a mistake!" Cui Guide's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head as he spoke. .
"Why didn't we take care of him? You said, except when we were sick and couldn't get out of bed, we didn't cook for him on any day. Whenever the family saved some cloth money, didn't we use it first for him? No matter how poor the family was, It didn't delay him from going to school, but he didn't study hard when he was in junior high school. He knew about the revolution all day long. Did we take care of it? Take care of it! For this, he was pointed at and scolded by the group of teenagers..." Cai Chunhua When he heard this, he was trembling with anger, and his face turned a sickly gray color. Look at her like this, as if she will faint in the next second.
Qu Ning ran to Cai Chunhua, raised his hand and held her cold fingertips, and softly comforted her, "Don't be angry, don't be angry!"
Almost instantly, the warmth from her fingertips spread to her heart, and Cai Chunhua burst into tears. How could she not feel sad that her biological son, whom she had worked so hard to raise, was not as considerate as a little girl she had never met before?
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't be anxious, don't be anxious!" Cui Guide was as panicked as anything, admitting his mistake repeatedly to Cai Chunhua and the Qu family, and at the same time, he slapped himself hard A few slaps, "Uncle, aunt, I'm so confused that I made such a request. Oh, I, I can't help you!"
"After all this trouble, I'm not afraid of the family scandal being exposed -" Cai Chunhua calmed down, smiled bitterly, and said, "Our guide is soft-hearted and confused. Fuxing The boy swore and swore, saying that he had changed, and then he got tough, saying that if he couldn't get into college, the rest of his life would be like this, and he wouldn't be able to live well, so don't count on him to provide for him in old age. .”
"You all know. I thought I was hiding it well..." Cui Guide grinned and wanted to smile, but he couldn't. His expression was uglier than crying. "It's okay if you don't support me. I have such a weak body." , he may not live for a few years. I was afraid that if he didn’t raise spring flowers, he wouldn’t be able to grow old and become homeless, so I shamelessly came to visit him.”
"He, he is so heartless!" Qu Hongwei couldn't bear it anymore. He knew that Cui Fuxing was not a good person from the time he collected the books, but he never expected that Cui Fuxing was such a bad person. , they can use both soft and hard tactics against their parents, and even threaten them with pension issues.
"You expect him to provide for you in old age?" Qu Zhongdong shook his head. He felt that this was unreliable, "But the matter has not reached a dead end. Even if it does happen one day, there are still production teams and communes. , there is a country, no matter what you do, you two can be fed and clothed!"
Cui Guide sighed, "I'm just afraid of dragging everyone down. Over the years, the fifth team has taken good care of our family. We still can't pay it back, but we can't always count on them. They are all people with families and families." .”
Qu Ning also started to worry, her two little eyebrows that were neither thick nor light were wrinkled, her little mouth pursed, and her face became even more puffy. Suddenly, she had an idea and thought of a good idea, so she said out loud: "I promise you!"
Her voice was clean and clear, instantly dispelling the heaviness and depression that was hovering in everyone's hearts, "If you said Cui Fuxing shouldn't be admitted to college, I can take it back!"
Cui Guide, who lowered his head after sighing, suddenly raised his ears. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Qu Ning. His originally dim eyes seemed to be lit up by something, "Really, really?"
Even though he knew in his heart that Cui Fuxing would not be the couple's hope, he still wanted his only son to have a good home.
"Really, but I have a condition!" Qu Ning nodded and added: "As long as he sincerely regrets, the words I said before will be invalid."
"My dear, you are so - so smart!"
"That's right, oh my dear, you are much smarter than me, why didn't I think of that!"
"That's right, our little baby's little head is so smart. How can you compare with her with your slender pimples?"
"My little aunt is much better than Uncle Hongwei and the others. If I take the exam with them this year, I will definitely be the top pick!"
The more the Qu family thought about it, the more they felt that it was best for Xiao Qu Ning to deal with it this way. Of course they had to brag very hard, no matter how exaggerated they were, they were all bragging to no end.
Qu Ning raised her little hand to cover her hot and red face. Through her fingers, she glared hard at her brothers and nephews who were blowing rainbow farts, grinding her white teeth again and again. She groaned inwardly, why are you bragging so hard in front of others? How embarrassing!
Cai Chunhua didn't miss Xiao Qu Ning's cute appearance. The corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously when she looked at her, her eyes were bent, full of smiles. She put her hand on the top of Xiao Qu Ning's head and rubbed it, her eyes were extremely gentle: "Thank you, little dear!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Qu Ning was most afraid of others thanking her in such a serious manner. Her little face became redder and hotter than before, and she shook her little hands very fast.
"Hey, look, I've delayed you for so long. Let's go back today. We'll come back tomorrow and thank you very much." I don't know who's stomach rumbled twice. This is a reminder. Cui Guide, it was too bad that he came just in time for the meal and delayed others' eating time.
"Yes, yes, we'll come back tomorrow." Cai Chunhua also reacted now. She nodded quickly, feeling embarrassed.
The Qu family sent Cui Guide and Cai Chunhua to the gate. Just as they turned to leave, little Qu Ning trotted forward. She had just gone back to the house to get the Xiangyun knot. Although this Xiangyun Knot is just made of hemp rope, she kneaded the hemp rope bit by bit and dyed the color with her own hands. It took a lot of time. It should be a big gift to them. use.
"Uncle, aunt, these two auspicious cloud knots are for you!" Qu Ning stuffed two pink auspicious cloud knots into Cai Chunhua's hands and warned her very seriously, "Wear them every day, and you will be lucky! From now on, you guys It’s going to be great!”
"Hey, okay, okay, it's up to you. We both wear them every day." Cai Chunhua held the two auspicious cloud knots tightly, as if she was afraid they would fall off. She nodded repeatedly, with wet eyes. "Thank you, dear baby. You are doing well too!"
The two of them supported each other and walked home. In the past, they would stop to rest after walking three to five hundred meters, but this time, they didn't feel tired until they reached the door of the house, and their hands and feet were all warm. It’s a temperature I haven’t seen in a long time.
"My dear, you are right, we will be fine in the future!" Cai Chunhua felt warm on her body and warm in her heart.
"Yes, yes!" Cui Guide felt his waist was a little sore, but he was still in good spirits. He suddenly thought, if you can't count on your son, then you can't count on him. Take good care of yourself in the future, and they can take care of themselves.
