Tiemin sat there silently, hoping that his father could tell more about Xie Guizhi.

Zhou Zhiqiang himself is not good at talking. Usually when he and Tie Min are together, they talk about things when they have something to do, and they are busy doing their own thing when there is nothing else. There is no nonsense at all.

At this moment, he had finished what he should say, and he would never say another word. Hearing Aunt Zhou's voice coming from outside the house, he got up and went out.

Aunt Zhou got off work and went to the vegetable market for a walk.

It was Liu Dongmei's first time at home, and she even bought groceries with her own money at noon. As a godmother, she should express herself.

Aunt Zhou bought five yuan of pork and two bundles of celery. When she entered the house, she raised her voice and said, "Tomorrow morning, let's make dumplings to eat."

Zhou Zhiqiang returned to the outer room and saw that the Kang table had been set. Liu Dongmei heated up the leftover lunch dishes and brought them out. She also made a special plate of fried peanuts for Zhou Zhiqiang, as well as the pig paws that Tie Min brought back.

Liu Dongmei asked Zhou Zhiqiang: "Godfather, do you drink?"

Zhou Zhiqiang smiled "hehe" and reached for the wine jar on the cabinet. Aunt Zhou pushed it away and said, "You don't want your life."

"Just a drink." Zhou Zhiqiang was in a rare good mood. Aunt Zhou hesitated and decided to comply with Zhou Zhiqiang's request. She took a small wine cup and wanted to pour him wine.

"No, I almost forgot. The doctor said that you are not allowed to drink alcohol for at least a month." Liu Dongmei grabbed the wine cup from Aunt Zhou's hand, poured the wine into the jar, stopped in front of Zhou Zhiqiang and said, "I will wait for your illness."

It’s completely healed. I’ll go home and catch a chicken for you, and ask my dad to come and have a good meal with you.”

Zhou Zhiqiang swallowed his saliva, smiled and slipped on the kang.

Shengzi has already laid out the dishes and chopsticks.

Yanzi also walked into the house carrying her schoolbag. She put down her schoolbag and got on the kang, sat next to Zhou Zhiqiang, and stared at the pig's paws.

Aunt Zhou and Liu Dongmei brought the food from the kitchen, and the family sat around to eat.

"Brother, it's time to eat." Liu Dongmei called into the back room, but there was no reply.

The whole family suddenly became nervous. Liu Dongmei opened the door of the back room, but Tie Min was nowhere to be seen.

She wondered: "Where has my brother gone?"

"This bastard." Zhou Zhiqiang became furious. He put on his shoes, got off the ground, and rushed out.

"Having a baby, go with your father to see what's going on." Aunt Zhou noticed that Liu Dongmei's expression was very ugly, so she hurriedly interrupted her by saying "Having a baby": "Why are you still standing there, go quickly!"

Zhou Zhiqiang rushed out of the house and ran all the way to the backyard. When he turned around and saw his son following him, he ordered: "Go and get me the rolling pin."

Seeing that something was not going well, he stood there not knowing what to do.

Zhou Zhiqiang opened the courtyard door, walked into the courtyard, and heard the sound of moving things from the small room.

He opened the door and saw that Tiemen had moved some wood aside, wondering what he was going to do.

Zhou Zhiqiang was so angry that he kicked him.

Tiemin turned around and saw his father, who was also kicked by Zhou Zhiqiang. He did not dodge, but faced his father's feet, grabbed his arm and said, "Be careful, don't fall."

Zhou Zhiqiang's foot changed direction because of Tie Min's words. He kicked the ball in the air. Fortunately, Tie Min caught him early and did not fall. He cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, my family is waiting for you to eat. You

What kind of fool are you going to make?"

Shengzi opened the door, waved to Aunt Zhou and said, "Mom, come out for a moment."

"What's the matter? Let's just talk about it." Aunt Zhou said so and walked out of the house to welcome the birth of her child.

Shengzi explained the situation to his mother in a low voice, but Aunt Zhou was unhappy. "You're such a scumbag, your father is having trouble even before he recovers from his illness."

Aunt Zhou said and ran to the backyard. She was not afraid that Tie Min would be beaten, but that Zhou Zhiqiang would get sick due to anger.

She ran all the way outside the small room and saw Zhou Zhiqiang standing there with his head bowed silently. Tie Min stood aside, saying something in Zhou Zhiqiang's ear.

"You big bastard, you are trying to make your father angry to death." Aunt Zhou's voice startled Zhou Zhiqiang. He scolded Aunt Zhou in a low voice and said, "Why are you calling a ball!"

No one needed to say anything, Liu Dongmei knew that Tiemin was avoiding her.

Yanzi sat on the kang, looking at the food on the kang table in a daze. Shengzi walked into the room, turned around, glanced at Liu Dongmei, and went out again.

Liu Dongmei lowered her head and thought for a while, feeling her face getting hot. She took off her apron and walked out of Zhou's house.

Zhou Zhiqiang realized that he had done something stupid, and he stood there not knowing what to do.

He spent the entire afternoon making a series of arrangements in front of Liu Dongmei. Liu Dongmei did not express any objection, which meant that she had approved everything.

Zhou Zhiqiang told his son, "Tonight, you will sleep on the kang cabinet."

Although I felt resentful about giving birth to a child, I didn't dare to object on the surface.

Yanzi originally slept with her parents in the outer room, but Zhou Zhiqiang arranged for the child to sleep in the outer room. The implication was that Tiemin and Liu Dongmei slept in the inner room.

After listening to Zhou Zhiqiang's words, Liu Dongmei laughed very awkwardly. She held it in for a few times, but she didn't say a single word "no".

Zhou Zhiqiang still looked nonchalant and said: "The relatives have already done it, so don't worry about the details."

Liu Dongmei knew Zhou Zhiqiang's good intentions and went to the kitchen to cook dinner with a smile.

When Tiemin heard about his father's arrangement, he didn't raise any objection on the surface, but refused with practical actions.

Faced with his father's dissatisfaction, he reminded him in a low voice: "Is it appropriate for a young girl to live with me without any name or status?"

"No one said anything, so why are you so poor?" Although Zhou Zhiqiang said this, his heart was still touched by Tie Min's words.

Despite Liu Shoucheng's usual charisma, he is still a serious person after all.

Liu Dongmei has a clear heart and is a responsible child. Zhou Zhiqiang found that he had indeed been a little too hasty.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Zhiqiang knew clearly that Tiemin was still thinking about Wang Li, so he insisted on giving Tiemin a clear instruction in form: You will never marry anyone other than Liu Dongmei in this life.

"I..." Tiemin wanted to tell his father that Wang Li was pregnant.

The words came to his lips, but he still didn't have the courage to say them. It was not because he was afraid that his father would punch him, but because Liu Dongmei had just moved into the house, his words could only make things more complicated.

The father and son were in the small room each having their own secrets, and it was hard to explain. Aunt Zhou's shout focused the conflict on how to explain to Liu Dongmei.

Zhou Zhiqiang's words have been spoken, and it is difficult to take them back. What Tie Min said is not unreasonable. The most irritating thing is Aunt Zhou. Liu Dongmei heard her voice and how to deal with it.

Shengzi hurriedly ran in and said, "Liu Dongmei is missing."

Before Zhou Zhiqiang could say anything, Tie Min rushed out with a shuttlecock and ran away aimlessly.

After all, Liu Dongmei is from a girl's family, and it will be dark when she talks. If anything happens if she runs out, the old Zhou family will be responsible.

Tiemin almost ran around the railway residential area of ​​the town, but he didn't see Liu Dongmei.

He stopped and began to think about Liu Dongmei's possible origins. Finally, he decided to go home, ride his bicycle, and visit Liu Dongmei's house.

When Tiemin returned home, he saw Zhou Zhiqiang lying on the kang with a towel on his forehead. He was surprised and said, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"You big bastard, you really want to piss your dad off to death, right?" Aunt Zhou picked up the broomstick, hit Tie Min on him and said, "Your dad fell down, take him back to the hospital quickly."

"Have you found it?" Zhou Zhiqiang frowned and asked Tiemin.

"I searched a lot, but couldn't find it." Before Tiemin finished speaking, Zhou Zhiqiang sat up immediately, threw off the towel and said, "They sent me back. What if there is a girl who is long and short, how can I talk to her father?"

Explain."

"I'll go to her house right away." Tiemin took the bicycle key, turned around and left.

"Do you know her family?" Zhou Zhiqiang asked.

"I don't know." Ironborn answered truthfully.

"Then why are you going!" Zhou Zhiqiang's anger finally found an outlet. He glared at Tiemin and cursed: "Damn it, why didn't you go to the police station to inquire about it?"

"I know." Tiemin ran out of the house and unlocked his bicycle, his mind at a loss.

The experience of entering the police station twice gave him a psychological fear of the railway police station, and he really did not want to set foot in the police station again.

Zhong Zhiqiang's anger caused him tremendous psychological pressure. He was worried that his father would be angry and sick again because of this incident.

In his wild thoughts, Tiemin put one foot on the bicycle pedal, and the whole weight of his body was concentrated on this foot. For some reason, he hesitated and tried to pedal again, just like that time when he gave Wang Li a sunshade.

Like an umbrella, his feet were empty and his whole body fell down.

Hearing a "crack" sound, Tiemin's body fell heavily to the ground. His feet and ankle bones formed a ninety-degree angle, followed by a heartbreaking pain.

Tiemin lay on the ground and waited for more than ten seconds. He slowly got up and found that his left foot did not dare to touch the ground. He held his left foot and broke it hard, and there was another "click" sound.

One sound.

From the outside, his foot had returned to normal. When he wanted to stand up, he suffered from the excruciating pain in his left foot, lost his balance, and fell heavily to the ground.

It happened that Erguo walked out of the house at this time and saw Tiemin falling heavily to the ground. He was startled and hurriedly helped Tiemin up. Seeing that Tiemin's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, he said in confusion: "What happened?"

"My foot sprained a bit." Tiemin said so, his left foot did not dare to touch the ground.

Zhou Zhiqiang waited impatiently for Tiemin to come back. He saw that Tiemin was held back by the two countries. Looking at Tiemin's ankles, they were already swollen and as thick as his thighs.

"This useless thing." Zhou Zhiqiang got up and, together with Erguo, sent Tiemin to the railway health center. The doctor on duty went through the transfer procedures for Tiemin. Erguo got on Tiemin's bicycle and sent Tiemin to the hospital.

Went to Steel City for treatment.

Zhou Zhiqiang was so anxious that he didn't know Liu Dongmei's whereabouts.

He got on his bicycle and went to the railway police station. He found out the address of Liu Shoucheng's home, got on his bicycle and went to a place called Pobaozi, which was actually less than ten kilometers away from the town.

He found Liu Shoucheng's home along the way.

Liu Shoucheng was sitting cross-legged on the head of the kang, sighing and sighing. Liu Dongmei was sitting beside her, already crying into tears.
