Reborn back to 1984

Chapter 71

Shao Han was so jealous that he was going crazy, he clenched his fists tightly, his nails pierced deeply into his palms, forcibly resisted the urge to kick Xie Mingfei away, thanked Xie Mingfei with a smile, and asked his name What's your name, where do you live, what are you doing in Shanghai...

Xie Mingfei had a pale face, his clothes were torn like a beggar's, but they were still clean.As soon as Shao Han asked, all eyes fell on him, among dozens of eyes, Zhang Xiuqing's was the most intense.Shao Han had seen this kind of gaze a lot in college, it was the expression that a woman would only show if she liked a man.

If Xie Mingfei felt it, he couldn't help looking at Zhang Xiuqing a few more times, but then he was shocked by the biting chill emanating from Shao Han's body. , is from Henan, and originally learned carpentry from relatives in his hometown. A month ago, because his mother was seriously ill, he went to Shanghai to seek medical treatment..."

The hospital is a bottomless pit. For poor families, even minor ailments cannot be afforded. If a serious illness occurs, it will be a disaster.Looking at his dejected expression, everyone guessed that he must have spent all his money and was unable to go home, so he had to stay in Shanghai and earn a living by picking up junk.

Why is there another filial son whose mother is seriously ill and has gone to Shanghai to seek medical treatment?Why are there so many filial sons these days?Shao Han thought of Zhang Xiuqing's first visit to Shanghai, the two "big filial sons" who had lost all the money he borrowed to help his mother's medical treatment he met in the car. .

To find out whether this person is a true filial son or a hypocritical filial son, he had to go to his hometown to inquire. Shao Han decided to send someone to Henan for a walk, and pretended to be unintentional and said, "Where are you from Henan? I have a roommate who is also like that." People from Henan Province are from your hometown, maybe you still know each other?"

Xie Mingfei scratched his head, and smiled embarrassedly: "I went to a relative's house to learn to be a carpenter after I finished primary school. Over the years, I followed my relatives from house to house and met many people, but all of them even They didn’t even go to high school, they either farmed at home or worked in factories, and none of them went to other places to study…”

The voice was unhurried, with a little helplessness, but he said a lot, but he didn't answer where he was from.

Shao Han was not reconciled, but it would be aggressive to ask further, and it would easily arouse Xie Mingfei's suspicion. Shao Han turned his head and glanced at Ma Tao.

Ma Tao immediately understood Shao Han's meaning. Although he didn't understand why Shao Han was interested in this little boy, but based on his intuition that he had never made a mistake all along, this little boy was going to be in trouble.

The same question is asked by different people, and the effect is completely different. Shao Han has always been cold and reticent, and his eyes are indifferent and distant. If he keeps asking questions, it will give people a strange sense of disobedience.But Ma Tao is different, this flirtatious bastard boy is very friendly, even if he keeps chattering and asking, people will not be disgusted, they will only feel that he is very familiar.

Ma Tao asked the question that Shao Han was eager to know again, and the question was very level, which made people not disgusted: "Henan is a good place. Ever since I watched "Shaolin Temple", I want to go to Henan for a visit. , but my parents were worried that I would encounter a liar, so they would not let me go out...Where are you from Henan? Is your home next to the Songshan Shaolin Temple? Have you ever practiced martial arts? It is said that many people at the foot of the Shaolin Temple have practiced martial arts since childhood The masters live in seclusion there..."

Since the movie "Shaolin Temple" was released nationwide, Songshan Shaolin has become one of the most yearned-for places for teenagers. As a native of Henan, Xie Mingfei stood up with honor and said, "I am from County A in Henan. There is a distance, I have not practiced martial arts, but my relatives once took me to Shaolin Temple to play..."

As soon as Xie Mingfei finished speaking, he immediately received dozens of envious and jealous looks, including Zhang Xiuqing's admiring look.Everyone looked at Xie Mingfei with hot eyes, Zhang Xiuqing was just one of them, no one felt awkward.

Shao Han is very satisfied with Ma Tao and decides to treat him better in the future.

From ancient times to the present, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been an unsolvable problem. Zhang Xiuqing married Shen Anlin in the previous life, and she suffered a lot from the first mother-in-law, but her second mother-in-law was very kind to her. She saw her coming home from work to do laundry. , cooking, cleaning the floor... She is always not allowed to do it: "Xiuqing, you work so hard at work, take a break when you get home, don't get tired, I will do these housework..." Her The root cause of the disease fell in Shen's family, and she often fell ill. Xie Mingfei's mother treated her as her own daughter, serving soup and water, taking medicine and feeding her without complaint.Even if she did not give birth to a son and a half for Xie Mingfei, this mother-in-law never said something like "the old hen eats only rice and does not lay eggs"... Until later, Xie Mingfei died to save her. The kind-hearted mother-in-law was sad that her son died young, so she changed her attitude...

Although Zhang Xiuqing knew that Xie Mingfei's mother's illness was not serious and that she had lived longer than herself in her previous life, she was afraid that there would be changes in this life, so she asked with concern: "Then how is your mother now? Her illness has been cured. Yet?"

Although Xie Mingfei hadn't studied for a few years, he was very smart. He couldn't sense the concern in Zhang Xiuqing's words. He couldn't help but glance at her in surprise, but he quickly looked away under Shao Han's gaze: "Thank you for your concern, my mother is much better now."

Zhang Xiuqing was embarrassed to ask him where he lived now, so he could only ask in another way: "Then is she discharged from the hospital now?"

Xie Mingfei nodded, with a look of sadness in his eyes.

His mother was not discharged from the hospital, but was kicked out of the hospital because she had no money to pay the medical bills.Shanghai is a place where land is very expensive. They have no money to rent a house, so they can only sleep in the park. They have no money to buy food, so they can only pick up garbage. If they want to go back to their hometown, they can only pick up the train...

Zhang Xiuqing's heart couldn't help but ache. She knew that the conditions of Xie's family were very poor, otherwise Xie Mingfei would not have finished junior high school and would learn to be a carpenter from his relatives.Once Xie Mingfei got drunk and told her everything about his childhood.

His relative has a bad temper, and Xie Mingfei would beat him and scold him if he didn't like him a little bit, and he was afraid of teaching his apprentices and starving his master to death, so he only ordered him to do physical work, and he didn't teach technical work at all.

According to their customs, apprentices are provided with food and housing by their masters. At most, they will give a red envelope during the New Years and festivals, but usually they will not be paid.Xie Mingfei worked as an apprentice for many years, worked hard, and didn't save any money. Later, he couldn't take it anymore, so he took his mother and younger brother to C City to join his fellow villagers...

Zhang Xiuqing speculated that Xie's mother must not have fully recovered, but she had no money for treatment, so she had to be discharged from the hospital early.Traveling all over the world with money, it is difficult to walk without money. Zhang Xiuqing took out the more than 200 yuan that he put in his pocket in the morning, and stuffed it into Xie Mingfei's hands: "Thank you for what happened just now, otherwise we will suffer a lot... …By the way, my name is Zhang Xiuqing, and I am from Xindong Village, J County, Jiangsu Province. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can come to me, or write to me. If I can help, I will try my best to help you."

Xie Mingfei's face flushed red: "No, this is what I should do, I can't ask for your money..."

Zhang Xiuqing said in a low voice: "Take it, treat it as if I lent it to you, and return it to me when you have money in the future."

Xie Mingfei was taken aback for a moment, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart again.

After Zhang Xiuqing gave the money, she realized that she hadn't asked her father's opinion. 200 yuan is not a small amount, and she didn't know if he would be angry... She was not afraid that Zhang Lingen would blame herself, but she was afraid that Zhang Lingen would anger Xie Mingfei. An uneasy expression appeared on his face.

The two robbers just ran away with daggers in hand, and everyone else hid far away. Only Xie Mingfei dared to help, which proved that he is not a coward who hides when things happen; He took his mother all the way to Shanghai to see a doctor, proving that he is a filial child.

Zhang Lingen's first impression of Xie Mingfei was good, so even though Zhang Xiuqing made a presumptuous claim, he did not step forward to dissuade him.What's more, that bag contained more than 2000 yuan in cash, and Xie Mingfei risked his life to help them stop the gangsters, how could he just say "thank you"?

Shao Han has been studying and earning money all these years. He has seen a lot of people of all levels. To be honest, he really didn't believe what Xie Mingfei said, so he asked, "What's wrong with your mother? Which hospital did she see before?" Diagnosed? I have a classmate who is the son of the director of Shanghai No.1 Civilian Hospital. If you need it, I will ask him for help."

Xie Mingfei took the money Zhang Xiuqing gave him, and was so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head: "No need, my mother's health is much better, I want to send her home to recuperate..." After speaking, he raised his head, pursed his lips and looked at Zhang Xiuqing took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for helping me, I will definitely return the money to you..."

We just met and were about to break up, and I didn't know when the next meeting would be. Zhang Xiuqing was very reluctant, but she was not qualified to stay, so she could only hold back her sadness and asked, "Then will you come to Shanghai again?"

Xie Mingfei shook his head: "I don't know either." Before coming to Shanghai, he thought Shanghai was full of gold, but only after he came did he realize how hard it is for people with no education, no relationship, and no special skills to find a job.

Although Zhang Xiuqing had expected that Xie Mingfei would answer like this, but when he heard him say that with his own ears, his disappointed expression was still palpable.

Xie Mingfei glanced at her secretly, feeling a little joyful in his heart.

Zhang Xiuqing couldn't help but took a step forward, wanting to talk to him a few more words.

Shao Han stood between the two and said in a deep voice, "The police are here!"
