Raising a Family [Rebirth]

A man just came out of the house. He was tall and wore round glasses with gold wire rims. He looked very gentle.

When the man saw them, he immediately smiled: "Hello."

"Hello, hello." Li Mincheng and the landlord also greeted him.

Wen Rui stared at him blankly without making a sound.

Did he really guess wrong?But this idea was vetoed by him as soon as it came out. Wen Guoqing was also a decent person back then, wouldn't he still beat his wife and children?Outwardly unbelievable.

The landlord said: "Mr. Jiang is going to work? Let's go down together."

"Okay," Jiang Hao replied, "you go first."

Several people went downstairs one after another, and Wen Rui was the third from the bottom.

Jiang Hao's voice came from behind: "Little brother is here to see the house?"

Wen Rui smiled: "Well, yes, we will be neighbors in the future, and we will ask Mr. Jiang to take care of us in the future."

Jiang Hao's face did not show the enthusiasm just now. He pushed his glasses and said coldly: "Your accent is not from the local area."

"Well, I'm from out of town."

"Why do you want to rent this place?"

Wen Rui frowned almost invisibly. Although Mr. Jiang had no problem asking such a question, he always felt that this person didn't seem to welcome him very much.

Before he could open his mouth, the landlord walking in the front jokingly said, "My house is cheap and in a good location. Who would want to rent it?"

Jiang Hao immediately laughed, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Mr. Li is right."

After several people left the doorway, Jiang Hao walked towards a battery car: "Everyone, you are busy, I will leave first."

Landlord: "Oh good."

Wen Rui looked at him silently, just as Jiang Hao also looked over, his eyes were cold, obviously he was not welcome.

Although he didn't know the reason why this person didn't welcome him, he was sure that this person was definitely not as glamorous as he appeared on the surface.

He watched Jiang Hao go away on the bike, and he didn't look back until he couldn't see anyone.

Li Mincheng and the landlord were moving things from the trunk of a van, so he also hurried over.

"I brought mops, buckets, towels, etc. Let's go up and clean them up." The three of them took some things one by one.

Li Mincheng raised his chin towards his tricycle: "Wen Rui, take your luggage with you too."

"Row."

They were busy for more than an hour. Wen Rui was quick to clean up everything. Li Mincheng and the landlord basically didn't do much work, they just helped wipe the table.

While twisting the towel, Li Mincheng said, "I really can't see that your big boy family is so proficient in doing it. My son won't help the soy sauce bottle when it's down at home."

Wen Rui just laughed and said nothing.

The landlord patted the dust off his body and said, "Okay, I'm busy now, so I'll be leaving first."

Wen Rui quickly put down the words in his hand and went to get the mop: "Wait a minute, I'll rinse the mop and everything, and you can take it back."

"No, no, no, just keep it here, it's so troublesome to bring it around. I have those at home, and I keep one set here every time, but they are worn out when I go home, and they don't give me a new set before I leave. "

Although there was a smile in the landlord's words, Wen Rui could still hear the hint of complaint. He twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, but didn't answer.

"Oh, yes! I'm so smart." The landlord took out a bunch of keys from his purse, "Here, here are the keys to all the rooms. If you think it's not safe, you can change the lock yourself. There are advertisements posted in the corridor, You can call someone to come over."

"Okay, thank you."

The landlord glanced at Li Mincheng: "Aren't you leaving?"

"I'll take him to get a card or something."

"That's it. I'll go first."

Wen Rui sent people to the door: "goodbye."

The landlord waved his hand, "No need to deliver it, no need to deliver it." Then he went downstairs.

"What else is there to do? How about we go buy a mobile phone card first?"

"Okay, trouble."

Li Mincheng laughed at him: "The big cities are different, people are so polite."

Wen Rui was so teased by him that he touched his nose embarrassedly: "It should."

Li Mincheng took him to the nearest business office to apply for a mobile phone card. He originally planned to send him back, but Wen Rui firmly refused.

"Uncle Li, I will go around by myself and get familiar with the environment. Thank you very much."

"Then Cheng, be careful, call me if you can't find the way."

Wen Rui replied: "Don't worry, if I'm really lost, I can go back by asking a passer-by."

"That's true, okay, I'm leaving." Li Mincheng was about to start the car to leave when Wen Rui stopped him.

"what happened?"

Wen Rui asked him to wait, and after speaking, he went into a canteen in front of him, and he bought a pack of cigarettes for 20 yuan.

He walked up to Li Mincheng and handed over the cigarettes: "Uncle Li, I'm sorry to trouble you all afternoon. I saw that you like smoking, so I bought a pack. I wanted to sell boxes of milk, but your children are away. I guess you and Auntie didn't like drinking, so she bought cigarettes. Keep it, and treat it as a favor from me."

"Oh, what are you doing with this money! It's really~ you are out alone, this child." Li Mincheng complained, but he was moved in his heart, and he felt that this child was a good person.

He accepted the cigarette, "Call me if you need anything, and I'll help if I can."

Wen Rui: "OK, I see. Uncle Li, go quickly."

"gone."

After Li Mincheng left, Wen Rui asked someone if there was a bank nearby.

He wanted to get a credit card. If he asked Uncle Li, Uncle Li would definitely take him there, but he was too embarrassed to bother Uncle Li for too long.

It's already four o'clock now, if you don't go, the bank will have to close.

He hurriedly stopped a tricycle, and it was quite convenient to travel here. Tricycles are everywhere, but it is not safe.

Wen Rui went to the bank to get a bank card. He deposited 2000 yuan in the card, and kept more than 2000 yuan for spending.

When he went back, he didn't take a car, and walked back slowly, firstly to get familiar with the environment here, and secondly, there was nothing to do when he went back and forth.

It was almost five o'clock, and although the sun was setting to the west, there was still heat in the air, and Wen Rui was sweating again.

He passed by the vegetable market, and originally wanted to buy vegetables, but then he thought about it, his rice noodle kitchen utensils had no gas, and he couldn't turn on the fire at all.

There happened to be a small supermarket in front, and Wen Rui turned in.

He walked around the supermarket for a long time, calculating the price of everything he bought, and comparing them repeatedly.

A few hundred yuan was gone after one trip. Wen Rui knew that the 2000 yuan would not take long, so he had to hurry up and find a job.

When he got home, he brought in the mattress that was drying on the balcony.

The former resident left in a hurry, and the big bed was not moved, which happened to save him a sum of money.

He made the bed, and as soon as he straightened up, he heard the sound of the door opening and closing from the next door.

There is no soundproofing here, so you can hear clearly what's going on next door.

Wen Rui took the phone and checked the time. It was 23:[-], it should be that Dr. Jiang came home from get off work.

He looked in the direction of the door and didn't move for a long time.

What could he do knowing that the man next door was abusing the child?A few years later, the law on domestic violence was introduced, but even then, the effect was minimal, so what can we do now?

If he meddles in other people's business, someone will say "this is my own family business" can block him to death.

He is docile by nature, even if he has sympathy, he is still an adult and tends to think too much for fear of getting into trouble. If he meets another Wen Guoqing again, he will die of nausea.

It's just...he can't let things like domestic violence go.

He has experienced that kind of pain, although he survived it, but that period of memory is the darkest in his life, recalling it is enough to make him have nightmares all night long.

Wen Rui took a deep breath and walked to the kitchen. When he came back, he put the shopping bag on the kitchen counter.

He found out the newly bought bowls and chopsticks, washed them with detergent, and took out a bag of instant noodles from the bag.

He opened the bag and broke the dough into two pieces, put them in a bowl, and walked out with the bowl in hand.

He went to the next door to borrow some hot water to cook noodles, and took a look at how the family was doing.

Wen Rui knocked on the door, and after waiting for a while, Jiang Hao's voice came from inside, "Who!" The tone was so fierce that Wen Rui couldn't help frowning.

"Mr. Jiang, hello, I'm next door."

Wen Rui heard footsteps approaching, "creaked" the door opened a crack, Jiang Hao poked his head out and smiled at him, as if he wasn't the one who got angry just now.

"It's you, what's the matter?" Jiang Hao spoke very gently, and there was no trace of hostility towards Wen Rui in the afternoon in his words.

Wen Rui felt strange, but kept his expression on his face. He lifted the bowl in his hand and smiled apologetically: "I just came here. I didn't buy a lot of things, I didn't start a fire, and I couldn't even cook, so I just wanted to come You want some boiled noodles here, can you?"

Jiang Hao hesitated a little, he looked back slightly into the room.

Wen Rui noticed his movement and immediately said, "Is it inconvenient at home?"

"No." Jiang Hao vetoed it with his mouth open. He opened the door and stood sideways, "I was just wondering if there is any hot water at home. But it's okay if there is no hot water. You can boil it now. Come in quickly."

"It's troublesome." Wen Rui entered the house and found that Jiang's house was well-decorated. The floor was covered with tiles, and the lobby was decorated with leather sofas and small tea tables. It looked decent. It could be seen that this was his own house or a rented house. the difference.

Jiang Hao closed the door and led him to the restaurant.

"You just sit and wait, I'll go and boil some hot water for you."

Seeing Jiang Hao being so polite, Wen Rui murmured in his heart, what's going on?

"Thank you so much."

Wen Rui saw him enter the kitchen and looked around the room. The doors of both bedrooms were closed tightly. Is the child in the bedroom?

"Mr. Jiang, your house is beautifully decorated. Do you live alone?" Wen Rui is not a gossip, but he has not forgotten his purpose of coming here.

"Oh, no, I also have a son. He is afraid of strangers, and he is doing his homework in the room." Jiang Hao's voice became obviously colder, obviously he didn't want to talk about it.

Wen Rui pretended to be stupid and continued: "Mr. Jiang is a doctor and a senior intellectual. The child must be very smart."

"Where? He doesn't like reading, he always likes to skip classes, and he doesn't obey discipline at all. He has no manners, is very aggressive towards people, and behaves differently from other children. I can't do anything about it. The teachers say he is a problem child. "Jiang Hao walked out while talking, "The water is boiling, wait a moment."

Wen Rui lowered his eyes and repeated Jiang Hao's words, problem child?

"To tell you the truth, my wife ran away because of him," Jiang Hao lowered his voice, "This child is abnormal since he was a child. He has a bad temper and goes crazy at every turn. He likes to throw things at home, and he also likes to hit the neighbor's children. , my wife insisted on throwing him away, but how can I say that this is also my own, how can I just throw it away? I don't want to, so she just abandoned me and left. "

Wen Rui's expression became serious, he looked at Jiang Hao's sad face, thoughtful, is that so?Is that kid a problem kid?

creak-

The door of the bedroom opened suddenly, and Wen Rui and Jiang Hao heard the sound and looked over. The child was still wearing long clothes and trousers, standing at the door and staring at him.

His eyes were still cold.
