48. Repay the debt
"By the way, have you found a place to live?"
The two fought for a while, but they didn't dare to go too far. After all, they were still in a public place and there were many people.
Sister Tao noticed the suitcase at Song Yiyi's feet, and couldn't help asking with concern.
Speaking of it, it really took a lot of courage for Song Yiyi to come here from Nanling City to become a village official.
Sister Rang Tao admired him a lot.
"Not yet. I'll find a hotel to stay after eating. I'll have time to rent a house tomorrow."
Song Yiyi spoke with a guilty conscience, secretly glad that Sister Tao and Sister Tao came late, and didn't know that she had just finished eating a large plate of rice.
"Miaomiao, isn't there still a vacant room in our place... I think let Yiyi move in and live together."
Sister Tao is a warm-hearted person, and Song Yiyi has just arrived here, so she and Chen Youcai are the only friends here.
In terms of emotion and reason, everyone should find a way to help this lonely girl.
"Hey, of course I'm happy to live with a beautiful woman."
Miaomiao's eyes glowed with excitement, like a hungry wolf staring at a little sheep, so angry that Sister Tao gave her another look, for fear that she would scare Song Yiyi.
"You don't have to worry about the rent. The three of us split it up, and it's only about [-] yuan a month."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Tao."
Song Yiyi was also very happy, and she was able to solve the housing problem smoothly, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after, the three people's meals were served one after another.
The three girls were pretending to be reserved at first, but unfortunately they revealed their true colors as they ate and started gobbling...
Fortunately, this scene is not uncommon at the stalls, and no one laughed at them. After all, everyone was working hard, so how could they care about others?
"Oh, I really love and hate this place. I'm afraid I'm going to gain a few pounds again this month. I'm really mad..."
With Chen Youcai's "special care", the three of them were naturally different from other diners, and they had a great time eating.
Of course, the disadvantages are also more obvious, that is, they are too full to eat, and they can only support each other to stand up.
Miao Miao had a bitter face, and glared at Chen Youcai, who was busy behind the iron chopping board, indignantly. Sister Tao and Song Yiyi couldn't laugh or cry.
"This meal is mine, it's a cleansing for Song Yiyi."
Song Yiyi took out her mobile phone and wanted to pay the bill, but Chen Youcai waved his hand, trying to make up for the meals of the three of them out of his own pocket.
"Is it necessary for you to pretend to be rich?"
Zhang Dagui was so annoyed that he stuffed the money back into Chen Youcai's hand, and then hurriedly greeted other guests.
"Okay, Yiyi will leave it to us, you guys do your work first."
Sister Tao said hello, and led Song Yiyi and Miaomiao back to the rented complex with great difficulty.
"Brother Talented, I think that sister Miao Miao's eyes are very strange. She doesn't like women, does she?"
Still, the ingredients were sold out in less than two hours. Chen Youcai and Zhao Xiaolin received their wages and headed back to Chenjiacun on the same road full of exhaustion.
Walking along the moonlit country road, Zhao Xiaolin said casually while fiddling with her mobile phone.
"... read less unhealthy novels."
"Oh, I just think, Sister Miaomiao is better than Wang Zhuzi, cabbage can't let pigs do it."
"you shut up."
"Oh, talented brother, don't you like sister Yiyi a little bit?"
Zhao Xiaolin was still staring at the screen of the mobile phone, but she secretly pricked up her ears after she finished speaking.
"Zhao Xiaolin, you are enough..."
Chen Youcai's head was full of black lines, the corners of his mouth twitched violently, and he was a little bit dumbfounded, where did this question come from?
"Brother talented, you better stop thinking about it, sister Yiyi is from the city, so she probably won't take a fancy to you."
Zhao Xiaolin plucked up her courage, and it took her a long time to raise her head, and seriously persuaded Chen Youcai.
"How did you know that I like Song Yiyi?"
Chen Youcai was suffocated when he heard it, and almost collapsed on the spot, and immediately asked back with a dark face.
"Of course it's a woman's intuition."
Zhao Xiaolin pulled Chen Youcai's sleeve pitifully, and said in a low voice: "Brother Youcai, you are not good enough for him, so forget it..."
"I'm in your heart, is it that bad?"
Chen Youcai was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and after being depressed for a long time, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, that's not true, but, but sister Yiyi is..."
Zhao Xiaolin was a little anxious to defend herself, her face flushed red.
Chen Youcai sighed with a look of hopelessness on his face, shook his head, and planned to keep silent, lest he be pissed off by Zhao Xiaolin.
The two were silent all the way, and returned to their respective small courtyards in Chenjia Village.
Chen Youcai turned on the lights, took out all the money he earned these days, and spread them on the bed one by one.
The last time I bought a wheelchair for my father Chen Dazhuang, I spent more than 1 yuan, but fortunately, I made more than 4000 yuan at the stall in the past half a month.
I counted it carefully, um, there is still about 6000 yuan... It should be possible to pay off the foreign debt first.
You know, in order to treat his father, Chen Youcai borrowed almost all the people in the village.
And his mother left early, and Chen Dazhuang was paralyzed in bed all the time, life was very tight.
Therefore, the natal family has almost lost contact, and they don't even move around during the holidays.
The other party looked down on his family, and Chen Youcai didn't want to put a hot face on a cold ass, so he never borrowed money from those uncles and aunts.
"Old fifth uncle's house, 800."
"Uncle Sanping's house, 450."
"Old Uncle Hai's house, 700."
"Jianjun cousin's house, 350..."
Pulling out an old wooden box from the bottom of the bed, Chen Youcai took out a diary from the bottom of the box, and then opened the debt records on it.
These are the villagers who extended a helping hand to his family.
According to the records, Chen Youcai divided the money into shares, and planned to pay back the money from door to door early tomorrow morning.
"Well, I have to add some interest..."
After thinking about it, he put 100 yuan in each repayment, counting it as a thank-you to those who gave charcoal in need.
"Dad, I have prepared the money. I want to pay back all the money from the villagers first."
Early the next morning, after making a simple breakfast, Chen Youcai carried his father off the bed.
Then put him on an electric wheelchair and push him out of the house to wash and eat.
After finishing a bowl of millet porridge, Chen Youcai put down the bowl and chopsticks, took out the diary, and placed it in front of his father.
"...Okay, pay it back if you can. It's not easy for everyone at this age."
Staring at the crooked handwriting on the diary, Chen Dazhuang pursed his lips, and then spoke hoarsely.
"Dad, don't worry, I will make more money in the future."
Sensing the flash of pain in his father's eyes, Chen Youcai also felt a little uncomfortable, so he forced a smile and comforted him immediately.
"It's dad who dragged you down... you are talented, you are a good boy, but don't violate your conscience just to make money."
Chen Dazhuang patted Chen Youcai's shoulder, solemnly exhorting him.
"Well, I won't do those illegal and criminal things, and I have to have a conscience."
Chen Youcai smiled, and waited quietly for his father to finish eating, then he packed up the dishes and went out with his worn-out shoulder bag.
