Chapter 272 I didn’t expect it to be so refreshing
Shen Meng stared at Old Chu with her round eyes and didn't look away for a long time, because Old Chu was drinking dumpling soup while looking at her with a smile. What was there for her not to understand?
After calming down for a while, she looked at Old Chu and asked, "Dad?"
Chu Heng was so frightened by the cry of "Dad" that the dumplings he was eating got stuck in his throat. He stiffened his neck and couldn't swallow them. Lin Xin looked at Chu Heng who had rolled his eyes, and quickly reached out and patted him hard on the back twice.
Mr. Chu had always hoped that Shen Meng could become his relative, but he didn't expect her to be so direct. A mouthful of dumpling water choked on his throat, and the old man coughed for a long time before he stopped.
The person involved was so shocked, not to mention the other people at the table. Several children also stared at Shen Meng in amazement, wondering what had suddenly happened to their mother.
"Ahem, well, I thought you would consider it, but I didn't expect that..."
"I didn't expect that I would be so straightforward. In fact, I think this is just a title. When I first gave it to A-man, I felt sorry for him and gave him some food. Later, I often secretly asked the children to bring him things. It has been so long. In my heart, you two, grandfather and grandson, are already my relatives. To be honest, I am actually thinking about you when you are old, and I will take care of you in your old age. With my current prestige in the village, I will build a house for A-man and marry him a wife, so that he can live a good life. As for removing the poverty hat, he can go to the leaders to apply for it when he is older. After all, I am here, and I will never let him suffer."
Are you kidding? The boss wants to adopt her as his daughter. She would be crazy to refuse. She has been helping him for such a long time, just waiting for this moment. What friendship? The relationship between relatives cannot last long. What's more, she has really given a lot to Mr. Chu and Chu Heng, just so that they can help her when she goes to Beijing in the future. If she doesn't agree now, when will she agree?
These heartwarming words she said were not just uttered, she certainly thought so in her heart. Mr. Chu had made contributions to the country. As a new-age woman who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze, there was nothing wrong with her doing something for the hero in distress.
After Chu Heng recovered, he kept his head down after listening to Shen Meng's words, his eyes were red, and it was unclear whether he was moved or because of the pain in his throat, but he didn't say a word.
Old Chu's hands were shaking as he held the bowl. After so many years in the countryside, he had seen the warmth and coldness of human nature. When he was most desperate and heartbroken, it was the girl Shen Meng who stood up and helped the two of them. In fact, if he recognized her as his own daughter, he would be taking advantage. After all, he was already this old and how many years could he live? By then, Ah Heng would be the only one left in the world. How would he survive then? What would he do if others bullied him?
Shen Meng is a vengeful person who dares to love and hate. He feels very relieved to hand Ah Heng over to her. As for himself, he will do his best to provide a support for the children in the remaining days. Even if he is gone at that time, they will not care about other people's faces.
"Okay, well said, Xiao Meng, from now on you are my daughter. Aman is not called Aman, he is called Chu Heng, and he is my only grandson. You will be his aunt in the future. Remember your words, when I am a hundred years old, I will give this child to you."
Shen Meng: “.”
How did you hand over the child? Shouldn't you give a compensation for changing your statement after you acknowledged her as your daughter? ? ?
"Lin Xin, bring the things here."
Lin Xin nodded and handed the thing he brought to Old Chu. It was a small dark red box. When he opened it, a emerald green jade bracelet lay in the red silk. Both the color and the quality of the jade were top-notch.
"This is our Chu family's heirloom. It has been kept by Lin Xin all these years. Now I'm giving it to you. From now on, you will be the head of our Chu family. I'll give you a name that will be recorded in the Chu family's genealogy. Let's call you Chu Jue. What do you think?"
Shen Meng took over the table and poured another cup of hot tea for Mr. Chu.
"It's all up to you."
Old Chu looked at her and smiled kindly. When his eyes swept over the children, they were very understanding and rushed directly to Old Chu, calling him grandpa as soon as they opened their mouths.
Lin Xin felt around his body, took out four big unity notes and handed them to Mr. Chu. He looked at Lin Xin with disdain. It was the first time he gave his grandson a gift, and the money was so small. It was really embarrassing.
"Well, grandpa didn't bring that many things with him. Wait until I get back. I'll send you some goodies from Shangjing later!"
Mingyang, Mingliang, Mingfang and Mingkai happily took the big unity and looked at it again and again. Their parents were generous people and never ran out of change, but they never gave so much as a big unity. "Thank you, Grandpa."
"I like money the most, grandpa, just send me money next time, hehe!"
"Me too. I also like the big frog, the green tin frog."
Mingkai didn't say anything. Not only was his eyes staring at the big unity in his hand with excitement, but he didn't even notice that his snot was about to flow into his mouth.
Mr. Chu: “.”
They are indeed a family, both are equally straightforward. If he really sends money, how much will be appropriate? ? ?
After recognizing the relationship, Chu Heng quickly changed his words and called Shen Meng "Auntie". Shen Meng rubbed his head and said, "Be good."
He is so tall and handsome, just like a college boy. Wow, so eye-catching!!!
"Mr. Chu, time is running out. We still have to go to the provincial capital."
"Got it, got it, girl. I'm leaving with Ah Heng now. When you have time, you must come to Beijing to see my old man."
"Dad, don't worry. Sooner or later, Zhenping and I will take the children to the capital. That is the biggest goal."
Old Chu looked at Shen Meng's confident expression and nodded with satisfaction. His daughter was different. She was a person with a lot of ideas and her consciousness and thoughts were extremely advanced. The country lacked such female comrades!
Chu Heng was walking at the back. While Old Chu was talking to a few children in front, Shen Meng went back to the house for a while, packed out a big bag of food and handed it to Chu Heng.
"Ah Man, no, it's Ah Heng. These are the food I packed. It will take you a long time to go to the capital. I have another old ginseng here. When we get to the capital, I will ask someone to make some soup for Dad to nourish his body. If I have anything else good, I will send it to you, ok!"
"Oh, thank you, auntie. I'll write to you as soon as I get to the capital. Please check it out."
"Okay, this is the phone number of my bus company. If there's anything urgent, call my aunt. Do you understand?"
Chu Heng nodded and waited for the car to arrive. Old Chu looked at his grandson who looked dazed and patted him on the shoulder.
"Why are you in such a daze? It's not like you won't come back. Just book a ticket whenever you want to come back. Come on, let me see what your aunt got for you."
Chu Hengji forced a bitter smile, opened the bag given by Shen Meng, and showed everything to his grandfather one by one. Suddenly, his hand paused, he looked at Old Chu in a daze, and then took out an envelope from it.
"Hey, this is, how come there is so much money, and there are also food coupons and sugar coupons, how, how did my aunt take so much?"
Old Chu took it and took a look at the money inside. There must be at least a thousand yuan. His daughter is worried that he will suffer in Beijing!
