Make a living

Chapter 35 Sago Dew

When returning home from get off work, Qi Yushun bought a bowl of noodle soup at Gui's restaurant along the way.

Most of the kitchen in the old house has been cut out, and now there is only a very narrow part.Qi Yu didn't plan to live here permanently, so he didn't even buy kitchen utensils, and planned to take out food to spend this time.

Gui's restaurant is where he ate since he was a child, and Aunt Gui often took care of him when he was young.Now that Qi Yu has grown up and is capable, he naturally wants to do his best to take care of their business.

Of course, in fact, the mother and son of the Gui family, who own far more real estate in urban villages than his family and Cheng Zijun's family, are not short of money. Doing this business is a long-standing family business and a place to pass the time.Aunt Gui didn't even receive any money after seeing Qi Yu's visit. She was very happy and generously packed two servings of sugar water for him besides the soup powder, and forced it to Qi Yu to let him go home to drink.

"It's all because you didn't want to eat when you were young, so go back and eat."

Qi Yu wanted to refuse, "Grandma, I'm already this old, I don't drink sweets at night."

"What a big deal," the old man patted him reproachfully, "Don't worry about it, it's my grandma who's so young."

Aunt Gui watched Qi Yu grow up, so in her eyes, Qi Yu has always been a child, which is not wrong.The elder didn't dare to say goodbye, Qi Yu didn't have a good face to other people, and he couldn't be cruel to the kind Aunt Gui.

He reluctantly took it, and asked his grandma to go to the hospital for a follow-up physical examination after a while. No need to wait for a number, just get the medical examination report and wait for him to read it after get off work. Then he bid farewell to the old man and walked to the old house across the street.

"You are welcome as always, Yuzai."

As soon as he walked through the perennially open iron gate, Qi Yu heard a playful joke.

"...Aunt Hong," Qi Yu called out politely, "this sentence should be given to you."

The thin woman with faded eyeliner and eyebrows didn't look popular at all, she rolled her eyes at Qi Yu with an ungraceful look, "Thank you."

Sitting next to the sewing machine, Sister Hong's appearance has changed a lot from the enchanting demeanor of her youth, but the soul under that skin is still as straightforward and casual as she was when she was young.She shook the hem of the trousers she was sewing, "If my wife is still so popular, she wouldn't be changing men's torn trousers here now!"

Qi Yu always only hurt others, but now seeing Sister Hong hurting herself, she was silent for a moment before speaking.

"A beautiful body pleases others, and a good craftsmanship pleases oneself."

"It's all about earning money to eat anyway, there is no difference."

Sister Hong didn't seem to have imagined that the taciturn kid in her childhood could say such a thing.She raised her head and looked at Qi Yu curiously for a long time, then she lowered her head and pondered his words for a while, the more she pondered, the better her complexion became.

That's right, I think she was a master in Kowloon back then, how many men are willing to spend money for her?Now even if there is no man to want, at least he can support himself, right?

Heh, compared to those women who rely on men for food, is it worse?not count!

"gone."

Qi Yu and women have never had much to say, so they started to go upstairs.

But when he passed by the stairs, out of the corner of his eye, he happened to catch a glimpse of a small figure nestled under the corner of the stairs, huddled in Sister Hong's tailor's stall.

"Uncle Green."

Zheng Jiahe, who was lying on the small desk writing, also saw Qi Yu, and shouted timidly.

"……Um."

Qi Yu nodded slightly, remembering what he was carrying in his hand, he simply opened it and took it out and handed it over.

"Take it and eat it."

After all, he called himself uncle. Although Qi Yu felt that he didn't want to be called 'Uncle Law', Qi Yu didn't have any ill feeling towards the quiet kid.

Not to mention being so disgusted and speechless like his uncle, that idiot.

Zheng Jiahe hesitated.

The boxes in Uncle Green's hands are colorful.The inside seems to be milk, but it is smooth and bouncy, and there is a layer of red, green and green fruits on it, which looks delicious.

But Dad Yao said that it is not allowed to take other people's things casually.

But Uncle Lu...Yao Pa said that Uncle Lu is a very powerful person, he is Yao Pa's friend, or their neighbor, so is he someone else?

"Take it, Xiaohe Miao, anyway, your Uncle Lu is past the age of eating sugar water."

Sister Hong coaxed Zheng Jiahe aside, raised her red lips and smiled and urged him to continue, "If you don't eat it, you can keep it for your uncle to eat."

When Zheng Jiahe heard this, he reached out to pick it up.

It's just that Qi Yu wanted to withdraw his hand.

If that idiot Zheng Haichuan ate it, maybe he would have to knock on his door again, forcing him to eat another messy meal?

I'm so annoying.

But the kid's hand had already been reached, so Qi Yu had no choice but to hand it to him.

"Thank you, Uncle Lu." Zheng Jiahe raised his hand to hold the bowl, and thanked him very politely.

Qi Yu nodded, and by the way put another box beside Sister Hong's sewing table.

"I'm getting older and still so skinny. Add more blood sugar." Along with the action, there are good words that don't sound like good words.

"A woman's figure is also something you can say?" Sister Hong rolled her eyes again, but she didn't refuse, and just continued to do her sewing.And out of the corner of Qi Yu's eyes, at this moment, he happened to see the little boy's retracted wrist after taking the sugar water box carefully, and his gaze paused.

Why is this kid's wrist so thin?

But the elbows are still fleshy.

Qi Yu attributed the problem to the fact that a migrant worker surnamed Zheng couldn't raise children, so he went upstairs and went home without thinking too much.After all, every family has a scripture that is difficult to recite, and he is not a Bodhisattva, so he cannot save the world.

But when he went back to the house and ate the noodle soup at the dining table, the more Qi Yu thought back to seeing the little guy's hand just now, the more he felt a little abnormal.

When he saw the little boy several times before, he was always wearing long-sleeved trousers, and he felt very small and thin.But from the outline of Zheng Jiahe's limbs and the exposed parts of his hands and feet, he can roughly know the size of his skeleton.

Comparing today's forearm and forearm, Zheng Jiahe's bone development from the elbow joint is obviously different from other places. Although it is normal compared with his peers, but placed on such a thin boy, it is a bit... Unusual swelling?

As a doctor's instinct, Qi Yu subconsciously analyzed the disease, but he couldn't find the real problem at all with just a cursory glance.

So after a few days, Qi Yu opened the video software again.

This time, he was very calm.

In another room separated by a wall, Zheng Haichuan had just returned home and was snoring and drinking sugar water with Xiao Hemiao.

"Ouch, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and every day when I get home, I can wring out my clothes!"

"I'm lucky today, the neighbor sent me something cold and delicious, it's a life-saving thing!"

Zheng Haichuan just turned on the live broadcast for a few minutes.

At this moment, the live broadcast room was empty and there was no one there, so he didn't care, and just talked cheerfully to the camera.

"Let me show you, this is the authentic Cantonese-style sugar water. Our grandma downstairs made it herself. Many people come from all the way to drink it!"

While talking, Zheng Haichuan held the bowl in front of the camera, scooped up a spoonful of milky white soup with fine translucent particles in it, "Hey, this one I drink should be called... Sago? Milk flavor Damn, honey should have been added, the ice scum in it hasn't melted yet!"

As he said that, he stuffed the spoon full of sugar water into his mouth in one gulp, the movement was casual and rude, but when those two thick lips were stained with soup, his well-defined face appeared more than usual. An unknown taste.

"Well... it's too comfortable to take a sip!"

Zheng Haichuan swallowed a mouthful of rock sugar water and sighed comfortably.

There was still a cold feeling at the corner of his lips, he stuck out his tongue and licked it, and swallowed a small sago that slipped through the net hanging on his mouth into his mouth.

"Our Xiaohe Miao'er drinks double-skin milk with red beans on it," Zheng Haichuan moved the camera to Xiao Douding who was sitting on the other side of the table, "Can you tell me if it's delicious, Xiaohe Miao'er?"

"Well, it's delicious!"

Zheng Jiahe held the spoon in his left hand and drank in small sips, nodding frequently.

"Hey, did you thank anyone when you picked it up?" Zheng Haichuan seized the opportunity to educate the children, "I heard from your aunt Hong that it was given by your uncle Lu next door."

"Thank you!" Zheng Jiahe was so young that he couldn't remember all the words, so he said, "Uncle Lu said to drink, your bowl...to replenish blood."

"what?"

Zheng Haichuan stared at the milky white soup bowl for a long time in a daze, "Can this also nourish blood?" He stared at the milky white sugar juice, but he didn't see any ingredients for nourishing blood.

"Hey, I knew I wouldn't pick it up. I should let Sister Hong drink it. I am a big man and I am not short of blood!" Zheng Haichuan rubbed his nose embarrassedly, but now he drank it, so he took another big gulp, " Forget it, although I'm not lacking blood, it's good to replenish more! Hehe."

As he spoke, he raised his head and took a sip, directly drinking the sago milk to the bottom.

And Qi Yu looked at the young man's wet lips and the protruding and distinct Adam's apple through the mobile phone, and unconsciously forgot the purpose of poking open the live broadcast.

He only felt that the noodle soup he ate today was a bit spicy, which made his mouth dry, and he wanted to drink some sugar water.
