Liu Chen packed up his things and pushed his bicycle. Gu Wanjun followed behind. They were going to see Chen Yadong.

When we arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, we bought some rice, noodles, oil, and some canned food, brown sugar and candies to take with us, as well as the turtles and eels that Liu Chen brought. Last night, Gu Wanjun took some home and brought some more.

Give it to Zhang Mei. After all, Zhang Mei has not yet given birth.

Liu Chen got on the bicycle and Gu Wanjun sat behind and set off.

Soon they arrived at Chen Yadong's door. Just as they were about to knock on the door and go in, they saw Chen Yadong pulling a cart and preparing to go out.

"You are here."

Chen Yadong put the cart aside and waved Liu Chen and the others into the house.

Liu Chen was pushing his bicycle and saw many cabinets, stools, chairs, etc., as well as some porcelain and printed pickle jars collected in the yard.

"Have you collected this all in the past few days?"

"yes."

The three children here heard Liu Chen and Gu Wanjun's voices and hurriedly came forward to greet them.

"Uncle, aunt, you are here."

Gu Wanjun held the youngest child in her arms and said with a smile, "Are you well behaved recently?"

"Well, we are all very well-behaved."

Liu Chen took some things and handed the purchased items to Chen Yadong.

Seeing so many things, Chen Yadong really didn't know what to say. Liu Chen and the others were really the saviors of his family.

"It's worthless. I'm going to cry with this little thing. Take it to the room quickly."

Liu Chen looked at Chen Yadong wiping his tears and scolded him with a glare.

Chen Yadong didn't know that he was worthless. If Liu Chen and Gu Wanjun hadn't woken him up, he would still be an alcoholic. His wife and children couldn't eat three meals a day, and he would be drunk all day long.

"Mom, uncle and aunt are here."

Chen Yadong's eldest daughter Chen Daya shouted into the room.

Zhang Mei came out holding the child with a towel tied on her head.

When she saw the things on the broken table, she said nothing and knelt down with a plop.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Liu Chen and Gu Wanjun quickly pulled Zhang Mei up.

Although she is undergoing confinement, Zhang Mei's complexion is obviously much better and rosier than before.

Food was part of the equation, and the most important thing was that Chen Yadong found out recently that she had done it, and after having a son, he never beat her again, even scolded her less, and even cooked for her.

She was no longer groggy as before and felt that she had hope in life.

Not to mention that Zhang Mei was in a good mood, even the children felt a little fatter.

"Give my sister-in-law that turtle soup to drink. It's for milk."

After hearing this, Chen Yadong quickly went to deal with the turtle, eel, and loach.

"Uncle, dad is very hardworking now and even cooks for us."

Chen Erya lay next to Liu Chen's ear and said with a smile on his face.

People are not afraid of being poor, but they are afraid that if they do not want to make progress, they will still be a "tyrant".

Looking at Chen Yadong, Gu Wanjun smiled and nodded, looking like a man now.

Gu Wanjun unwrapped the candies and divided a few candies among each of them.

The children held the candies tightly in their hands.

"Eat, there's still more left after you've finished eating."

"We won't eat it, we'll save it for the New Year."

The children usually don't even have food to eat, so how have they ever eaten this candy?

"Eat it, it's so sweet."

Gu Wanjun peeled off a candy and put it in Chen Sanya's mouth.

"Sweet, so sweet."

Liu Chen took her son from Zhang Mei, "The child is not very fat, but he is in good spirits."

"What a cute doll, Sister Mei, you should eat more."

Zhang Mei smiled and nodded.

Gu Wanjun took the child from Liu Chen's hand and held it in her arms.

"It's so cute, Liu Chen, look at that little mouth and eyes."

"When the time comes, your and Liu Chen's children will be equally cute."

"Pfft"

Liu Chen almost choked to death with a mouthful of saliva. What the hell is this?

When I went to Wang Xiong's house, I was bullied by my grandma, and when I came here, I was bullied again. The reputation of being a golden single cannot be lost.

"Sister, he and I are not..."

Zhang Mei smiled deliberately, patted Gu Wanjun's hand and said, "Not now, sooner or later we will be a family. Looking at you, I feel right."

"Okay, just tell me, I'm going out."

Liu Chen walked out directly.

As soon as Liu Chen left, Gu Wanjun was not happy. What did this mean? She was not good enough for him? She was nothing like a woman, but he, a man, was shy.

Zhang Mei saw that it was true. Gu Wanjun still had Liu Chen in her heart. She was someone who had been there before, so she couldn't be wrong about it.

"you like him?"

Zhang Mei and Gu Wanjun were the only ones left in the room. Zhang Mei looked at Gu Wanjun and asked with a smile.

In this era, people generally don’t talk about what they like, and even if they like it, they won’t say it easily.

Gu Wanjun didn't know how she felt about Liu Chen. Anyway, being with him made her feel comfortable and happy. Maybe it was because Liu Chen brought him wealth every time he came, and he had meat to eat with him.

"dislike."

Gu Wanjun lowered her head and said, blushing.

"Okay, no, you don't like him."

Zhang Mei took the child and said with a smile.

Gu Wanjun quickly changed the subject and asked about the baby's name.

Zhang Mei watched Gu Wanjun change the topic and didn't want to ask any more questions.

She told Gu Wanjun that the child's name was Chen Ganfen, and thanked Liu Chen and Gu Wanjun for their kindness.

This child, if Liu Chen and Gu Wanjun had not saved her in time, would not have been able to come into this world. Not only that, Chen Yadong has also gotten better now. She feels that life is full of hope and she has hope.

When Gu Wanjun heard this name, she felt indescribably happy and felt that she had done a great thing.

Liu Chen took out two hundred yuan and gave it to Chen Yadong.

Chen Yadong was shocked when he saw so much money.

I don’t know what Liu Chen means.

Liu Chen told him that he was doing well now, no longer drank too much, and he was hardworking and capable. He had collected a lot of things in the yard.

Two hundred yuan, fifty yuan is the reward for Chen Yadong, and the rest is money for him to collect things. As long as he sees something good, just accept it.

Chen Yadong didn't know what the use of the things he collected was. Who would want these scraps of copper, iron, porcelain dishes and earthenware pots?

Anyway, Liu Chen told him to just accept it, so he listened.

After the turtle soup was prepared and served to Zhang Mei, Chen Yadong took the son, held him in his arms, and kissed him again and again.

Chen Yadong feels that he has hope in life and is energetic in everything he does. The key is that now he has a direction and a goal. He just needs to collect things every day. People, as long as there is hope in life, there is endless energy in everything.

Liu Chen also asked Chen Yadong to pay attention to the house. When the house is built, there will be a place to put the collected things.

It was getting late when we came out of Chen Yadong's house. The house was still being built. Although Liu Jiefang was in charge, he had to go and see if it was right, otherwise it would be ridiculous.

"I'm going back, are you going?"

Liu Chen looked at Gu Wanjun, smiled deliberately and said, "Just go, I'm afraid of you."

Liu Chen was just joking and didn't really ask Gu Wanjun to go. Who knew she really jumped on the back seat of the bicycle.

Liu Chen was shocked. Is this a girl of this era? Is she reserved? Is she graceful?

No, he just said it and didn't really let her go.

"You go, and I have to send it back to you. It's too hard on you. When the house is built, you can go with the screening."
