Chapter 30

Seeing that Erwa didn’t say anything, Lin Minjun asked again, “Did he scold you behind your back, or did he find someone to beat you together? Tell me”

With Cao Bin’s habit of being a dead dog hooligan, it was most likely both

Erwa pinched his chopsticks tightly, glanced at Lin Minjun, and opened his mouth

Just when Lin Minjun thought he was going to say something, this child wanted to speak again and again, sullenly lowered his head, “No, I’m just worried ”

“Worried about what?” Lin Minjun is still pursuing the question

“This matter you were dragged into by me, offended a master family, I am afraid that you will be ostracized in the courtyard, they do not take care of you, and, Cao Bin will also retaliate” Erwa said in a muffled voice

Lin Minjun: “Do you remember what I said today? I don’t have parents, you don’t have, we are both orphans, you call me a sister, I will treat you as a younger brother, there is no such thing as being involved?”

She raised the corners of her mouth, raised her eyebrows, and smiled, “What’s the point of ostracizing me, isolating me, in the end it’s just a neighbor, just don’t interact with each other, you may feel that we’re all old neighbors, and it’s scary to think that no one cares about us, but maybe after a few decades we’ll all be living in high rises, and we won’t even know who lives across the street” She comforted Erwa, “I have no parents, and you don’t have any, we’re orphans

She consoled Erwa, “Besides, I’m an adult, if they retaliate against me, I’ll think of ways to deal with it, and I can even report it to the public security, didn’t we deal with it well this time?”

But Erwa probably had something on his mind, his brows loosened a bit after hearing this, but he was still worried

Lin Minjun looked at him with a worried look and said heartily, “Wrinkled nose and wrinkled face, you really look like a little old man now”

She finished her sentence and snorted out a laugh herself first, not taking it seriously at all

Just like she said, neighbors, just don’t interact with each other, it’s just neighbors anyway Cao Bin will retaliate, she will not resist? She can not, but also can report to the public security, and Zhao Ning, Luo Lin, Han Xiaorui they help to think of ways, but also afraid of a small hooligan not

But this thing in the ten-year-old Erwa seems, simply the sky is falling, the little boy wrinkled his nose, more and more like a little old man

Lin Minjun saw that he was really fretting, so she changed the topic and talked about another thing, “By the way, today I heard them say that you have an older brother, what’s going on? How come I haven’t heard you mention it all along?”

Thinking about how sister-in-law Xia had also mentioned it before, saying that Erwa had killed her brother, Lin Minjun thought she was talking nonsense at the time, but today, a big mom mentioned it again, so it seems that there really is such a thing?

This is strange, Lin Minjun lived here for almost two months, about Erwa’s parents have heard several times, just not much to hear people mention this brother

“They said that you grammed your brother to death, I don’t believe it, what’s going on here?” Lin Minjun asked again

Just now when he said that Cao Bin retaliated Erwa was just worried, when he mentioned his brother, Erwa suddenly had his teeth biting his upper lip, his nose was red, and after a second, he suddenly cried with a wow

He sobbed, “My brother is not dead! He just went to the army, he often sent letters back in the first few years, but suddenly there was no news a year ago, everyone said he died, I don’t believe it, my brother is definitely still alive!”

Lin Minjun hurriedly said, “Not dead, definitely still alive, I have to tell you lad, if something really happened to your brother, someone would have come to your door to notify you and give you the relics and pension, no one came to your door, your brother is fine”

“They just see my brother not coming home for so long and always say people are dead, I know they’re not” Erwa hatefully sucked in a mouthful of rice noodles

Lin Minjun: “Auspicious people have their own destiny, don’t listen to their nonsense, but why did I come for such a long time without realizing that you have a brother”

Erwa lives in the gatehouse, this courtyard belongs to the two brothers, so there should always be traces of his brother’s life, Lin Minjun is quite curious about this

Erwa holding a big bowl of rice noodles, mouth oily explained: “At that time the state returned this house to me, the street office and I discuss which houses can live here, I said where can, but the east room can not live, that is my brother’s room, I am, he came back to have a home So the east wing was locked, and all the old things my family used to have were in there, so you don’t know”

“You miss your brother, don’t you?” Lin Minjun said

Erwa nodded

Lin Minjun: “Then until he comes back, I’ll help him take care of you, don’t be sad anymore, okay, what’s with the hard life and grimacing family members, it’s all nonsense”

“Okay, I’m not upset right now, sis, I’m going back to bed” Erwa said, picked up the bowl to go to the door to wash up, on the way out is still smashing mouth, do not know if it is because a moncler outlet store apologized, or because for the first time in the aggrieved, there is a person who trusts him, stood by his side, from the beginning to the end of the day, stood with him, Erwa feel that today’s rice noodle extraordinarily tasty, out of the few steps he turned back, “What to eat tomorrow? ”

He was beginning to look forward to the next day

That said, today Lin Minjun always felt that she had forgotten something, this moment to Erwa a reminder to remember, “Right, tomorrow at noon I’m going to visit someone else’s home, by the way, I’ll bring some food over, so eat lunch in advance, or I’ll leave it in the pot, and you can eat it by yourself, tomorrow eat drunken chicken”

Erwa had already braced himself and didn’t know his last name, he didn’t hear anything, he only heard that he would eat drunken chicken, so he craved for it, nodded his head, and went back to his own little room

The next morning, Lin Minjun got up early to finish preparing the night to stall the yams, and then went to the market to buy a hen, specifically looking for a place to buy a tile jar, take time to do this chicken

After finishing, I didn’t fill the bowl, I carried the pot and went to Zhao’s house

The last time the youth gathering from the mouth of Zhao Ning, Zhao aunt has lung cancer, Lin Minjun has always wanted to visit, but the business has just opened really can not spare time, this is not, the business is on track to have a stable source of customers, which is ready to go to visit the aunt Zhao

Walked to the door of the Zhao family, knocked on the door, a long time before someone to open

Auntie Zhao’s face was a little pale, walking slowly, but her spirit was good, seeing Lin Minjun was also very happy, “Minjun is here, I heard Zhao Ning say that you set up your own stall and are self-reliant, why are you free to come over today”

“I came to see you” Lin Minjun said, carrying the tiles and entering the door, when she entered, she saw that the kitchen still had a stove burning, a pot on the stove, as if she was going to cook

She looked around, “Where’s Uncle Zhao, is Zhao Ning not home either?”

“They’re both at work, Zhao Ning went to work at the party school” Mother Zhao smiled

“But you’re home alone, and you have to cook, can you do it?” Lin Minjun couldn’t help but worry

Zhao mother waved her hand, “You don’t have to treat me as a patient, that disease is serious, but I’m not so bad that I can’t move right away, it’s just a meal, without them, I can’t eat my mouth?”

As soon as she said this, Lin Minjun lifted up the tile jar, “I don’t need to cook today, look, I brought you drunken chicken, I’ll go get you a spoon, just drink the soup and eat the meat, it’s very nourishing to the body”

She said this and took out a porcelain spoon from the kitchen, handed a Zhao mother and said with a smile, “I added angelica brought from home in it, and this time the practice is more authentic, simmering in a tile pot over a small fire, the mouth of the tile pot is covered with a small bowl, and it is also sealed with a flour living water, so there is no loss of nutrients and flavor at all, it is very nourishing to the body”

“It does taste good, better than the last time” Zhao mother tasted it and simply raved

Drinking soup while catching up, this was the point of Lin Minjun’s visit today, she looked up and down at Zhao mother and was pleasantly surprised, “You don’t look like a patient at all, you’re in such good spirits”

“What do you think a patient looks like?” Zhao mother said with a smile

Lin Minjun couldn’t say, in her last life, because of her quest for a child, she had been to big hospitals, went to old Chinese doctors, and looked for godly men, where she bumped into a lot of terminally ill people, but those people basically had a waxy face and a bad mental state, and very few of them had a face that looked so good as Zhao mother’s

“Not like you anyway” Lin Minjun said

Zhao mother smiled particularly open-minded: “That may be because I think open-minded, my disease anyway, now there is no rule of law, the doctor also said that the knife can not be good, is to live a little longer, and the body is not good, I thought it would be better to take advantage of the body when you want to eat what to eat, want to drink what to drink what to drink, to make yourself happy on the line, I’m just at home to adjust their bodies, but the body much better, the only bad thing is that you can not see at home The only bad thing is that I can’t see anyone at home, it’s a bit boring”

“What about you Minjun, how is your life now? Tell me about it” Zhao mother asked again

Lin Minjun said, “Then why don’t I tell you about what’s happening on my side of the family and relieve you of your boredom?”

“Sure, tell me about it” Zhao mother was excited, and poured two cups of tea, brought peanuts for New Year’s treats, which was ready to start eating melons

Things just happened a day ago, some details Lin Minjun remembers very clearly, so one by one he told Zhao mother about what happened yesterday

From the time he came home and found Erwa tied up, an older woman wanted to beat him up, to the time when a grandpa and an older woman sang and acted together in the courtyard assembly in an attempt to muddle through, to the time when there was no way out and he could only apologize, Lin Minjun told Zhao’s mother once and for all

After listening to Zhao mother has been nodding, “this thing you do right, is it possible for a child to be wronged? Our two children from childhood are, but where someone wronged, regardless of whether it is true or false, as long as I hear, I must pull the child door to the people to break clear, the child has no self-esteem, the child is not face?”

She smiled, “So now I can go without worry even if I get sick, because Zhao Ning has self-confidence and self-esteem, she can climb up even if she really meets setbacks in the future”

Wasn’t this the best thing a mother could leave behind for her child?

However, after praising Lin Minjun, Zhao mother said angrily, “But your yard this one moncler outlet store family did really unlike, not to mention that the child did not steal, even if the child really stole you should also tell the parents, no parents to tell the street office, you count what onion to beat other people’s children This is I am now sick at home can not go out, otherwise I have to go to the door with their theory theory, are what things”

“That’s the truth, but, after this happened yesterday, I still don’t get it, I heard the neighbors say that a grandpa’s family was particularly good before, and polite to everyone, this time, how come they just grabbed Erwa and didn’t let go?” Lin Minjun frowned and brought out the question that had been bothering her all night to ask Mother Zhao
