Chapter 129 Confused life
Chapter 129 "Dragon and Phoenix Catastrophe" Confused Life
Chen Long fell asleep in a daze, but was woken up by his two children early in the morning.
After Chen Long got up and packed away the old clothes and sheets on the floor, he washed a pot, boiled water, and boiled some noodles. Then he added two eggs and mixed them in, and cooked them. This was breakfast for the day.
Two bowls and two basins were used to fill up all the egg noodles, two children and two adults, four people each had one portion, and they finished it quickly while it was still hot.
So the soldiers divided into two groups and walked out of the residence. Before leaving, Wu Mei wanted to ask Chen Long about why he came back to bed so late last night, but Chen Long didn't answer her. He really didn't want to know about his unlucky experience and the current difficult situation of being very poor.
Let her know so as not to affect her study and internship.
Outside the small house, Wu Mei said goodbye to her two children and went directly back to work in the company's outpatient department.
Chen Long, on the other hand, took the schoolbags of the two children and walked to school holding the children's hands one after the other.
Halfway through, I met Grandpa Li Jianzhong again.
Li Jianzhong was used to getting up early. Especially these days, after school in the afternoon, after teasing Chen Long's two children a few times, he felt much happier and more comfortable. It seemed that he had returned to the feeling of taking care of his grandchildren.
This morning, he walked on the road to school, paying close attention to every child going to school. He was looking forward to meeting Chen Long's two children, but he never expected that he would actually meet them now.
Chen Long and his two children happily greeted the grandfather.
Of course, Li Jianzhong happily accompanied his child, talking and laughing as they walked to school together.
What a warm and harmonious scene of sending a child to school. Uninformed passers-by really thought that three generations of parents were accompanying the child to school!
When he was approaching school, Li Jianzhong even made a request to Chen Long, saying that he hoped that he could help pick up and drop off the two children in the morning and afternoon...
However, Chen Long politely declined.
Twice in a row, he helped take care of the children at the school gate, gave them fruits to eat, and generously paid for the children to have dinner with him... Li Jianzhong's generosity and kindness had already deeply moved Chen Long.
After all, he had never received or experienced the so-called father's love since he was a child. Therefore, in this big provincial city, he suddenly received the care of a stranger who was better than his parents, which made Chen Long deeply feel the warmth of human love.
In such difficult days, he felt the positive energy of the world and gained the motivation to live. It seemed that he saw more hope in front of life...
Chen Long understood the good intentions and wishes in the grandfather's heart. However, after all, he was a stranger who was neither close nor related, so how could he have the nerve to accept too much care and help from others? Love cannot be accepted or abused casually.
Proper distance may be the best thing!
Without Chen Long's consent, Li Jianzhong proposed to him that he hoped to come to school more often in the future, or go to his residence to pick up and drop off his children with him. Or, he hoped to play with his two more children.
Especially when playing in the company community... After all, he really likes these two children so much, saying that he has a special and indescribable feeling towards them...
Of course, Chen Long readily agreed to this request. Likewise, the two children and Chen Long himself gradually developed a special feeling of respect and love for him...
After sending his children to school, Chen Long hurried back to the company's security department to report and went to Section Chief Zhang Yujun's office to accept his security work arrangements.
Since the incident of catching a thief when he first came in, Zhang Yujun has always taken good care of Chen Long's work arrangements. He has been assigned a relatively good and relaxed duty position. In addition to seeing that he was specially recommended by Li Feng to be recruited, Zhang Yujun
In addition to being a "household figure", it was more because of what happened that Chen Long helped him, so he received his work care... Chen Long could also vaguely feel and understand this.
However, Chen Long did not take advantage of this to be lazy at work. Instead, he worked harder to do his job well. He understood that only in this way could he not make his colleagues jealous and hate him, and could he build a good relationship with his colleagues.
Today, Zhang Yujun arranged for Chen Long to freely patrol and inspect the group company and residential areas. This kind of job is the least stressful and the most relaxing.
However, for the same patrol work, other colleagues basically drive electric cars. Driving an electric car for patrol work is of course fast and convenient. But he himself patrols slowly by walking, which is much slower.
During the day, there are quite a lot of people moving in and out of the company, especially in residential areas. However, the light and viewing angles during the day are very good, and the inspection effect is much better than that at night. However, it is relatively noisier than at night.
A lot. If it is at night, there are less pedestrian activities and it is much quieter. It is very suitable for thinking about life.
But during today's inspection work, Chen Long was still feeling uneasy, always thinking about his current severe life situation...
In fact, Chen Long couldn't sleep well during the whole sleeping time last night. The reality of poverty surrounded him. The dozens of dollars in his trouser pockets are all his current net worth. These days of no money will be
How to survive?
The unlucky thing last night still makes him regret it. He wanted to go out to earn some living expenses, but he couldn't earn any money. He was beaten up and lost his shoe polishing tools, and he also lost a lot of money.
The amount of money! Moreover, it alarmed the person he respected the most in his heart and went to handle the compensation himself... His face was really completely ruined and completely lost.
However, no matter what, things have already happened that we didn’t want to happen and things that shouldn’t have happened. It’s useless to feel regretful and regretful. Everyday work and life must continue, and we must live our lives normally, and our normal living expenses are even more important.
It’s indispensable! But, what should we do in these days of no money? The cruel reality is right in front of us! Life is so tragic, with too much helplessness, and too much inability to control ourselves...
While Chen Long was walking and inspecting his work, he was thinking about all kinds of things and problems in his mind, especially thinking about the way out of the life in front of him...
It seemed like a boring day's work, and along with his very nerve-wracking mental struggle, it was soon time to get off work in the afternoon. Thinking about getting off work, he had to pick up his children from school, and then go to the vegetable market to buy groceries.
Cook……
Thinking of this, Chen Long subconsciously touched the few dozen yuan of change left in his trouser pocket, planning in his mind what he was going to buy at the vegetable market later.
When I was cooking breakfast this morning, all the noodles that were left had been cooked. There was no rice, and there was basically nothing edible in the small house... However, the two growing children were hungry almost all the time.
The belly is eager to eat all kinds of food, just like a young eagle with its big mouth open and howling, waiting to be fed and nurtured all the time...
In fact, he already knew how much change there was in his trouser pocket. He didn't know how many times he touched it with his hands today. Thinking about this moneyless day made him uncomfortable! Now, he simply took it all out again and carefully repeated it.
Zhang counted it once: 56.8 yuan!
56.8 yuan, this is all the wealth!
What can I buy with this little money? How long can it last?
Prices are so high now, this change is not enough to buy a better piece of meat! If this small amount of money falls on the ground, no one may even open their eyes to see it or be willing to pick it up!
Looking at the old and worn-out cents, Chen Long had mixed feelings in his heart, so he continued to count them boringly one by one, for fear that he would make a mistake in counting them, or in other words, he wished that all the cents could be collected at once.
Turn it into a hundred dollar bill... In that case, it will be enough for living expenses for a while, and many problems can be solved!
Haha, it’s really an extremely ridiculous and unrealistic fantasy!
It was already time to get off work. Chen Long folded all the receipts again, put them into his trouser pocket, and rushed back to the security department to hand over the shift...
After all the work was clearly handed over, I rushed back to the small house, hurriedly changed into security work clothes, and went straight to school to pick up my children...
Today, Chen Long rushed to school to pick up his children relatively early. When he arrived at the school gate, the children were happily carrying their schoolbags and walking out of the school one after another. Many parents were waiting outside the school gate to claim their children.
Take it back.
Chen Long originally thought that he could arrive early to pick up the child today and avoid Grandpa Li Jianzhong, so he could no longer bother him to spend money to buy food for the child. However, when he arrived, he saw him standing not far from the door, holding a hand in his hand.
He was waiting there with a bag of fruit. As if he was going to pick up his own children, he carefully and intently stared at every child who came out...
Seeing the old grandfather from a distance, Chen Long was shocked and speechless at first for his persistent pursuit of spirit, but he also felt more respect for him!
Soon, Tingting held little Binbin's hand, carried a small schoolbag respectively, and followed the other children out of the door.
Little Binbin recognized the old man standing not far from the door at a glance, so he shook off his sister's hand and ran over to hug the old man's legs, rushing to open a bag of paper in the old man's hand.
Bags of fruit…
When little Tingting saw it, she ran over and competed with her brother for the fruit in the grandpa's bag...
It’s like being born again and getting to know him twice. After a few days of getting along with each other, the children all remember and recognize this old grandpa!
Li Jianzhong’s bag contained the best apples he had picked and washed at home. After the two children grabbed each of them from the bag, they immediately put them into their mouths and started to bite them. It looked like they were really hungry...
…
Li Jianzhong teased and looked at the two cute children biting into the apples with big smiles on their faces, looking very proud and satisfied...
What a beautiful and touching picture this is!
Chen Long stood on the sidewalk in the distance, looking at the scene in front of him from a distance. His heart was already so moved that it was indescribable, and tears welled up in his eyes unknowingly...
Chen Long stood looking for a while, raised his hand to wipe his eyes, flashed past the children who came out, and walked forward.
When the clever little Binbin saw her father coming to pick them up, she immediately ran towards him while eating the apple in her mouth. Then she stretched out the bitten apple to him and said to him:
"Dad, this is grandpa's apple. It's delicious. You can take a bite too."
"Well, if it's delicious, you can keep it for yourself." Chen Long did not bite the apple that the child extended.
"No, Dad, take a bite, it's really crispy and sweet!"
As Xiao Binbin spoke, she forced the apple in her hand into his mouth, forcing him to take a bite and taste it.
"Okay, I'll take a bite." Unable to resist the child's request, Chen Long had to take a small bite.
Sure enough, he enjoyed eating the crispy, sweet and delicious apples in his mouth.
"Grandpa gave you an apple to eat, little Binbin, did you say thank you to him?" Chen Long taught the child while eating...
At this time, little Tingting was also biting the apple and holding the old man's hand and walked to Chen Long.
Li Jianzhong said to him with a smile on his face: "You came to pick up the children very early today. I was planning to take the children to buy food for them if you came late."
After hearing what the grandpa said, Chen Long quickly declined politely: "No, no, grandpa, I really appreciate your kindness to the child. I will go to the vegetable market with the child to buy vegetables and cook later.
Already."
"Haha, no need. How about we go out to eat the same meal together as yesterday?" Li Jianzhong asked Chen Long for advice.
"No, grandpa, thank you for your kindness. It's really no need." Chen Long still insisted on politely declining.
Chapter completed!
