The world is broken, the cubs mend it

Chen Jiahe received a reply from Wang Ziheng, saying that everyone in the factory lived in dormitories, and he needed to rent a house to live outside with his children.

Wang Ziheng also rents a house with his family, so you can help him look for a house near home.

These days he took all the chickens in his home to the town to sell them and bought a ticket to the city.

The old yellow cow at home has been raised for a long time and is the only animal he is reluctant to sell.

In the evening, he led the old yellow cow to the village chief's house. Yuanyuan sat on the cow's back hill, gently touching the hair on the cow's back with her little hands.

"Dad, when are we leaving?"

All the small animals at home have been sold these two days, and there is some more money in Dad's iron box.

"In two days, once we have packed our things, we will go to the city."

Chen Jiahe was originally worried that he would have to come back if he failed the interview, but later he heard from Wang Ziheng that many places in the city were recruiting jobs, so he wanted to give it a try.

The village chief's house is surrounded by a wall and the gate is closed when it gets dark. The father and daughter are outside knocking on the door, leading the cow.

The person who opened the door was Village Chief Wang. Aunt Chen was cooking in the kitchen, and he was pounding garlic in the yard. When he saw the father and daughter, he warmly invited them in.

"Uncle village chief, can you take in my cow?"

Yuanyuan looked at him seriously, her big round eyes full of reluctance.

"Are you going to give me the cow?"

Village chief Wang understood what the child meant and thought Chen Jiahe would sell the cow.

Last year, this cow was so thin that you could see its bones. It was fattened by the little guy bit by bit.

"All the other animals in the house have been sold. This cow is quite old and has done a lot of work for the family, so I don't want to sell it."

Chen Jiahe held the rope and after much thought, he felt that it would be most appropriate to give the cow to the village chief's home. He wanted the cow to live longer.

"I feel so embarrassed to give me a cow for nothing."

Village chief Wang took the rope from him, led the cow into the yard and tied it up.

"I'm leaving soon. I don't know when I'll be back next time. Stay for dinner. Your aunt has cooked a few more dishes."

Chen Jiahe took the child into the house without hesitation. The little guy couldn't sit still and ran to the yard to help peel garlic.

It takes two or three minutes to peel a small garlic. After peeling one, Village Chief Wang has already mashed the garlic for the cold noodles.

Yuanyuan held the garlic in her hand and looked at it for a while, then put it in her mouth, took a small bite, chewed it less than twice, and spit it all out.

In order to avoid wasting the garlic, she quietly put it into the old ox's mouth, and the ox rolled up its tongue and ate it all for her.

"Who will eat the garlic I peel when you're gone?"

The little guy felt inexplicably sad and gently stroked the cow's leg with his little hand.

"I'll eat. Wash your hands before eating."

Chen Jiahe felt sad when he saw the reluctance of his children. It is hard to get used to leaving a place where you have lived for a long time suddenly.

"Will Dad eat the leaves I pick?"

Yuanyuan was pulled back by her father holding her wrist. Who would eat the leaves she picked in the future?

"..."

Chen Jiahe's originally somewhat sad mood was immediately shattered. Did the kid want him to be a replacement for the old workhorse?

When they came to Aunt Chen to learn needlework before, Village Chief Wang also invited the father and daughter to dinner.

At that time, he felt embarrassed to ask others to stay for dinner since he was bothering them to help him, so he made excuses to decline most of the time.

This time they sat together and had a good meal. At the table, Village Chief Wang took out a stack of change.

"Jiahe, I can't take your cow for nothing. You will need money a lot in the future, so you can take it. This is also what your aunt wants."

"Take care of the children in the city and be well. If things don't work out, come back."

Aunt Chen served the child a bowl of soup. She usually attached great importance to money.

Her husband is a soft-hearted and nosy person, and they have often quarreled over money, but this time it was her idea.

"No, we can't take it."

Chen Jiahe pushed the money back, saying that as long as the old ox had a place to settle down, he could not accept the money even if he loved money.

If the adults didn't want Village Chief Wang, he would put the things into the children's pockets. Before Yuanyuan came, her father told her not to accept things from the Village Chief.

Just as Village Chief Wang was about to put the money into the child's pocket, the little guy suddenly crawled under the table. His agile appearance made people want to laugh.

"This……"

"Village chief, you keep this money for yourselves, and then you can return it to us."

Chen Jiahe had never taught his children like this, but he didn't expect that the little clever boy would be so smart.

Seeing that the father and daughter were determined not to accept the money, Village Chief Wang had no choice but to take the money back, poured two glasses of homemade liquor and started drinking with him.

Chen Jiahe got drunk once during the Chinese New Year, but he still drinks occasionally during normal times. His alcohol tolerance is much better than before.

"Aunt, please eat more vegetables."

While eating the cold noodles in the bowl, Yuanyuan did not forget to pick up some vegetables for Aunt Chen.

I made the spicy garlic into a dipping sauce and mixed it with the other ingredients. It tasted sour and spicy and was very delicious.

"When you go to the city, you must listen to your father..."

Aunt Chen is not usually a nagging person, but she said a lot tonight, reminding the children to be careful and not to go with strangers.

It was late at night and both Chen Jiahe and the village chief were a little drunk. The father and daughter stayed at the village chief's house for one night and went home the next morning.

The two of them packed their clothes into two large bags, most of which were children's clothes.

Whenever Chen Jiahe has free time, she likes to make shoes and clothes for her children, and before she knew it, she has made so many pieces.

Noon——

Yingying and Wang Shuo came back from school and visited Yuanyuan.

"You must come back early for the New Year."

"Yeah, I'll definitely come back early to play with you."

The two little guys huddled together, and Yuanyuan curiously flipped through Yingying's textbook.

Yingying studies very hard, and with the special tutoring from her brother, she learns faster than other students and is often praised by the teacher.

Chen Jiahe was cooking lunch in the kitchen. Wang Shuo went in and took out the money he had given her earlier from her schoolbag.

"Brother Jiahe, my mother paid for my schooling. This money is useless. You can take it back."

Qian's father had been asking him where he put it and even secretly searched his schoolbag, but he hid it well and was not found.

"Keep it for later use in case of emergency."

Chen Jiahe stuffed the money back into his pocket. It was not easy for his mother to be the master of the matter. It was uncertain what the future would hold, so he kept the money as it would be useful somewhere.

"That's what the village chief said, too. I gave the money back to him but he refused to take it."

Wang Shuo held the money in his hand, the gratitude in his heart was beyond words.

He was also afraid that his father would regret it in the future, so he wanted to save the money for a rainy day, but he didn't want to owe anyone else.

"This money is for Yingying's tuition. You don't need to pay it back. Just study hard."

Chen Jiahe patted his shoulder and said that he was still a child after all and didn't need to think so much.

"Brother Jiahe, when I become capable in the future, I will never forget your kindness."

Wang Shuo stood straight with a determined look in his eyes. He promised to help them if they needed anything in the future.
