Yang Ping turned around and walked back. Zhang Minmin couldn't understand what her mother meant, so she followed behind and asked, "Mom, why did you get fooled?"

"Xia Chutang deliberately provoked us away." Yang Ping gritted her teeth angrily: "How could I have been fooled!"

Zhang Minmin still didn't understand and was confused: "Then what are we going back to do now?"

"I want some spicy food!" Yang Ping said bitterly: "I will take it even if I take a jar! Why not take it?"

Don't be in vain!

Zhang Minmin: "..."

The mother and daughter were reluctant to take the bus and spent more than ten minutes returning.

After entering the family courtyard and walking to the edge of the tube building, the aroma of meat wafting from the kitchen of Aunt Zhao's house made the mother and daughter excited.

"My aunt's house is cooking meat!"

Zhang Minmin walked to the kitchen window and smelled it: "It smells so good! Mom, let's go in quickly!"

"and many more!"

Yang Ping reached out and grabbed her daughter's clothes, "Don't go in!"

"Why don't you go in again? Didn't you say you want spicy food?"

Zhang Minmin didn't understand what her mother wanted to do, so she pouted: "You can still eat meat and drink soup if you go in now."

Aunt Zhao is very good at cooking.

Very common vegetables can be made in many ways in her hands.

Not to mention the meat, the braised meat is soft, waxy and crispy, especially delicious.

Zhang Minmin especially likes to eat the vegetables and meat cooked by Aunt Zhao. Unfortunately, Zhao Lanying will only let her help with the cooking during the Chinese New Year, and will rarely call her at ordinary times.

After all, when you call someone over, you always have to give them something, fresh meat and vegetables, which neither Zhao Lanying nor Yang Ping can bear to part with.

The aroma wafting from the kitchen made Zhang Minmin salivate, urging: "Mom! Let's go in! What are we doing standing here?"

"Something's wrong!"

Yang Ping stood still, staring at the kitchen, frowning: "I went through the old lady's cabinet, and there wasn't a dime in it. Apart from potatoes and pickled chilies, there were no decent vegetables in the kitchen, so why was there meat? ?”

If there was meat, she would have cooked it long ago. How could she wait in vain all morning?

"Xia Chutang came back just now. Did you carry anything in your hand?"

"No...probably not."

Yang Ping thought about it carefully, and when she was grabbing spicy food in the kitchen, she didn't see any meat.

"Hmph. You're playing tricks on me!"

Since they didn't just eat meat as soon as they left, wouldn't they be hiding it on purpose?

"walk home!"

"Huh? Aren't you going in?"

Zhang Minmin looked unhappy, "Mom, we're already at the door..."

At least go in and drink a bowl of broth and eat two pieces of meat...

"Come again tomorrow!"

It is impossible to finish the meat in one meal.

In the weather like this in Xihai, even if you leave things overnight in summer, they won't go bad.

Yang Ping had already made up her mind, with a vicious calculation in her eyes: "Let's go home and call Xia Chutang's father!"

If the little girl is playing tricks on her, then let her have a taste of the pain.

……

Yang Ping took her daughter and left quietly.

A girl walked out of the door of Tongzi Tower, staring at their backs with a cold look in her eyes.

Looking for her dad? It's really vicious.

In my memory, my father, besides drinking, also beat and cursed people.

Xia Chutang's legs trembled with fear when she saw her father since she was a child.

She didn't know which words or actions could anger the man and lead to a severe beating...

In her last life, when she woke up from the hospital, she was slapped by Xia Zhigang, making her completely rebellious and unwilling to go home.

Returning after rebirth, probably because of her transformation, this did not happen.

However, with Yang Ping stirring up trouble behind her back, Xia Chutang felt that she would be able to see her father soon...

When Xia Chutang got up on Sunday morning, she did a math, physics and chemistry exercise, and memorized English and linguistics. It was noon.

"Strange, your mother promised to come to the city today, why didn't she come?"

Aunt Zhao specially left a lot of pork ribs, fried some shredded potatoes, simmered rice, and waited for her daughter to come and improve her food to satisfy her craving.

But I waited here and there and saw no one all morning.

"Maybe there was something delayed."

"What's the delay? When I left last week, I promised to come on Sunday... and I also said I would take you to the hospital for a follow-up visit."

Xia Chutang closed the book and looked at the time, "Are you at work? I'll call their work."

"Then ask quickly. How old are you? I don't know how to tell my family if I don't come."

Aunt Zhao was a little unhappy: "I cooked so many dishes."

Xia Chutang took out her phone book, found her mother's work number, and dialed: "Hello, I'll call Li Hui from the supply and marketing cooperative."

"She doesn't go to work today."

There was an old man's voice on the other side of the phone, "Are you her daughter?"

"Yes. Yes." Xia Chutang had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Then come and see your mother quickly. She was beaten by your father yesterday."

The uncle clicked his tongue several times on the phone: "I called for a long time last night. The sound was so miserable that even the dormitory area heard it."

"Okay. I'll go there as soon as possible." Xia Chutang clenched her fists and forced herself to calm down.

After hanging up the phone, Aunt Zhao asked, "How was it? Are you at work today?"

"My mother... sprained her hand while moving things yesterday. I went to their unit to have a look."

Xia Chutang lied and quickly went into her cabin to change clothes, "Grandma, I'm leaving right now, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late and I won't be able to come back."

I wonder how my mother is doing?

Xia Zhigang always hit people with a fatal blow, but he didn't know why he got mad yesterday.

Yesterday... Xia Chutang suddenly thought of Yang Ping. Could it be that she and Xia Zhigang said something that made her mother get beaten?

If this were the case, she would never let Yang Ping go.

"How about I go? You are still in school!" Aunt Zhao was also very worried.

"Grandma, I'd better go. Bus No. 7 is not easy to ride on."

The bus to Li Hui's workplace runs once an hour, and every time there are so many people, the bus is almost overcrowded.

Aunt Zhao was in her seventies and had bad eyesight, so it was impossible for her to squeeze into that car.

"Then I'll pack the dishes and you can bring them to your mother." Aunt Zhao hurriedly turned around and entered the kitchen.

The rice and vegetables were packed in three aluminum lunch boxes, and the ribs were packed in separate plastic bags.

Aunt Zhao didn't finish the ribs, but left some for her granddaughter to eat when Xia Chutang came back.

After packing the lunch box, Aunt Zhao took out a wrapped handkerchief from her inner pocket.

Inside the handkerchief, there were several pieces of one yuan and a pile of 12 cents neatly placed.

This is money that Aunt Zhao has saved for a long time, and she keeps it close to her body.

I guess the total is no more than ten dollars.

"Tangtang, take this money and use it for the car."

Aunt Zhao counted out the one-dollar bills and asked, "Is five yuan enough?"

A trip to where Li Hui works costs two or three yuan, which is ridiculously expensive for Aunt Zhao.

Xia Chutang felt sour in her heart when she looked at the money handed over by her grandma.

Holding back tears, he patted his pocket and forced a smile: "Grandma, my mother left me money. I have money for the bus, you can keep this money."

"Be careful on the road!"

Aunt Zhao knew that her daughter would leave pocket money, so she didn't worry too much. She handed the meal over and said, "Look at your mother's injury. If it doesn't work, you guys come down and go to the hospital opposite!"

"Yeah. Got it!"

Xia Chutang carried the plastic bag and said, "Grandma, don't come out. I'll go back quickly."

Xia Chutang trotted towards the station, fearing that she would lose control of her tears.

However, when she got on the bus, she saw from the window a rickety old man standing on the roadside, and Xia Chutang still couldn't hold back her tears.

She must work hard and not let grandma suffer anymore!

After leaving my grandma's house, I had to take another bus to get to the No. 7 bus going to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

When she got off the bus, Xia Chutang put the food she was carrying into the space.

When she showed up at the No. 7 bus stop again, she was empty-handed and ready to squeeze the bus with all her strength.

After waiting for about forty minutes, bus No. 7 finally started slowly.

The crowd of people rushed over, and Xia Chutang followed the crowd. When the car door opened, she was squeezed into the car...

Getting into the car successfully is the first step, and then the smell in the car and the bumps on the road are the torments.

The bumpy road and the unpleasant and stifling smell in the car made Xia Chutang feel like she was about to vomit. At this moment, she clearly felt something hard pressing against her back...
