Teddy lives next door

Seeing his parents' attitude, Gao Chao reached out and grabbed Chen Suiwen's hand: "Let's go upstairs."

Chen Suiwen instantly felt that Gao Chao did it on purpose, holding his hand in front of his parents, is it really okay to do this?He tried to withdraw his hand, but was caught by Gao Chao, so he had to lower his head and dare not look at Gao Chao's parents.

Seeing Gao Chao like this, Father Gao coughed hard: "Sir, don't go up, I have something to tell you."

Gao Chao pulled Chen Suiwen to a stop, and said to his eldest niece, "Tingting, take your younger brothers and sisters upstairs."

The eldest niece, who was wiping her tears, suddenly stopped crying, hugged her younger brother, and led her younger sister upstairs.Seeing that his nieces and nephews had left, Gao Chao said, "Dad, I said I don't like women. I'm not joking. I like essays. We're already together. If you can't accept it, we'll live outside. Help After my brother this time, I will not come back in the future, and I will continue to give the living expenses."

Mother Gao, who had just stopped crying, burst into tears again when she heard this.Father Gao's hands and mouth trembled violently, and he looked at Chen Suiwen with complicated eyes. He didn't speak for a long time, and finally said: "I knew it, I knew it..."

Chen Suiwen was extremely guilty, and lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Uncle, please understand me and Gao Chao."

Gao's father and Gao's mother didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the room was oppressive and dull. Seeing that his parents were silent, Gao Chao pulled Chen Suiwen out the door: "Let's go."

It wasn't until they reached the door that Gao's mother yelled: "Sir, don't go! Where are you going? This is your home." She said with tears.

Chen Suiwen listened, his eyes were a little wet, he pulled Gao Chao, Gao Chao stopped, lowered his head and said: "Mom, I won't leave, who can handle this situation at home without me. My dad They don’t let me live at home, so we have to live outside. Just call me if you need anything.”

Dad Gao finally spoke up: "The whole family is like this, and you still feel that the house is not chaotic enough, and even poked a knife in the hearts of your mother and me, can you live with your conscience?"

Knowing that his father was blaming him for bringing Chen Suiwen home at this time, Gao Chao gritted his teeth and said, "You only ask if I am sorry for you, why don't you ask me if I am sorry for Suiwen? As soon as he heard that you I was hospitalized, and I tried my best to prepare three meals a day and sent them to the hospital without a single complaint. As soon as he heard that my brother had an accident, he took out all his money and gave it to my brother to pay without saying a word. Medical expenses, pay off debts for the family. Where in this world can you find someone who is better than him? What kind of bottomless pit is the situation in our family? Have you ever thought about it? The illnesses of my brother and that worker can be cured with hundreds of thousands It’s a small amount, and you’ll have to pay someone else’s money after it’s cured. You don’t have hundreds of thousands to pay for the dead one? It’s at least a million, which isn’t enough even if I sell the house! It's a woman, and if you break up with me at this time, do you dare to say that she has no conscience? Who wants to be in debt with me?"

Gao's father was silent, and Gao's mother's tears flowed like spring water. She had never seen so much money in her entire life.

Chen Suiwen said: "Uncle, Auntie, don't worry, Gao Chao and I will definitely find a way to get money to save Eldest Brother, and we will cure him no matter how much we spend."

Gao's mother's cry turned into a sob, and Gao's father's shoulders collapsed, and he blew his nose vigorously: "I know the family is short of money, so I'm wasting money by living outside."

Hearing what his father said, Gao Chao knew he was letting go, and turned to Chen Suiwen and said, "Let's go, let's go upstairs."

Mother Gao didn't speak, she turned around and went upstairs to clean up the house for him.Father Gao asked from behind: "How is your brother and Lao Liu's situation?"

Gao Chao said: "My brother is in the intensive care unit, and he hasn't completely escaped danger. Lao Liu escaped danger, but needs amputation, and he will be disabled in the future."

Father Gao sat down slumped, his eyes staring blankly at something, not knowing what he was thinking.Gao Chao knew that he must be thinking about compensation. The worker was disabled and lost the ability to work. In addition to medical expenses, he had to pay a large amount of compensation.

Gao Chao didn't say anything, and led Chen Suiwen upstairs. Gao's mother was going to clean up the house, but they stopped her. Gao Chao took the basin and rag from his mother's hand: "Mom, I'll do it myself."

Gao's mother said, "I'll come, I'll clean up."

Gao Chao said: "Mom, you go wash your face and have a rest. I will do it myself. I can do it now, as taught by Wen." He skillfully rubbed the towel and plastered.

Chen Suiwen put down the bag in his hand, ready to help.Gao Chao said, "You rest, I'll come."

Chen Suiwen sat down on the place he brushed off: "You told your family during the Chinese New Year, why didn't you tell me?"

Gao Chao raised his head and glanced at him: "Actually, I didn't say anything. I just went to my uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of junior high school. They wanted to arrange a blind date for me. I didn't want to. When I came back, my parents still talked about it, so I said I didn't want to. I like women, but I won’t get married. They probably thought I drank too much, so I didn’t take it seriously. When I held a family meeting at home on the fifth day of the fifth day, I mentioned this matter again, and I said again, this time I didn’t drink, my dad may have noticed What happened, he was so angry that he threw a teacup at me, saying that if that was the case, don’t come back, I left at that time.”

Chen Suiwen looked at him: "I knew something was wrong that time, as expected, I came out to my family."

"I didn't tell my family that I was with you, so it's not completely out of the closet. But my dad must have guessed it. You were more caring than your own son when he was hospitalized." Gao Chao said.

Chen Suiwen was silent, and this time he came here by himself, which completely confirmed Dad Gao's conjecture.Chen Suiwen suddenly felt a little sorry for the old man, maybe he was taking advantage of others.

After Gao Chao wiped the bed, he took out the sewage, and Gao's mother came in with a mat.Chen Suiwen quickly got up to help: "Auntie, I'll come."

Gao's mother looked at Chen Suiwen, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing, silently helping to make the bed.Gao Chao came in, looked at the mat on the bed, and said, "Mom, you don't need a mat, just change the sheets."

Mother Gao looked at her son in surprise: "Aren't you afraid of the heat?"

"It doesn't matter if it's hot, just don't catch a cold, it's still quite cool at night." Gao Chao opened the closet, rummaged through it to find the sheets, pulled out the mats that had been made, and shook out the sheets to make the bed.

Chen Suiben originally wanted to say that there was no need to change it, and that it was okay to sleep on a mat, but Gao Chao had already pulled out the mat neatly and put a bed sheet on it.Gao Chao used to sleep on a mat when he lived by himself. After being with Chen Suiwen, he was in poor health and never used a mat. This habit has been kept. When the weather is hot, he would turn on the air conditioner and cover the quilt. better off.

Seeing her son there, Gao's mother hesitated and asked, "Does Xiao Chen still sleep in the room over there?"

Gao Chao straightened his waist: "No, just sleep with me, there is no need to make the bed. Follow the text, you have a rest first, I will go to the factory to see."

Chen Suiwen said, "I'll go with you."

Gao Chao said: "No, you sleep for a while, you don't have a break at noon. Mom, you haven't had dinner yet, can you do it? If you can't, I'll go out and buy some."

Gao's mother nodded hurriedly: "I can do it, I can do it, don't waste money, there is food at home." Said and hurried outside.

Gao Chao said, "Make two non-spicy dishes."

"Oh, good." Gao's mother glanced at Chen Suiwen, she knew her son's taste very well, the non-spicy dishes must be for Chen Suiwen.

Seeing his mother gone, Gao Chao said to Chen Suiwen, "Go to sleep. I'll wake you up for dinner when I come back."

"I'm not sleepy, I want to take a look with you." Chen Suiwen said.

Gao Chao said: "The site is very polluted and it's bad for your health. Don't go. I'll go and have a look and come back. Don't worry, I won't stay for long. Go to sleep."

Chen Suiwen had no choice but to stop insisting, Gao Chao walked over and closed the door, came back and hugged Chen Suiwen tightly in his arms: "When we get through this difficulty, everything will be fine."

"Okay, I'll accompany you." Chen Suiwen put his ear on the side of his neck, listening to his pulse beating, one by one, from the eardrum to the atrium, especially calm and powerful, this man has become so calm and reliable unconsciously It's really a blessing he cultivated in his previous life, "Then you should be careful, there won't be any more accidents at the scene, right?"

"Of course not. The fire is all extinguished, so I won't go in. I'll just look outside to get a general idea of ​​the situation." Gao Chao said.

After Gao Chao left, Chen Suiwen lay down on the bed. The sheets and blankets were obviously washed, but there was still Gao Chao's breath, mixed with the smell of washing powder, which made Chen Suiwen feel at ease. He thought he couldn't sleep, but in the end I fell asleep quickly. I have been running around all day today and I didn't take a nap. I am really tired.

In the evening, Sister Gao also came over, and the family ate around the table. Except for the three ignorant children who ate deliciously, the adults had no appetite.Gao Chao himself didn't have an appetite, but worried that Chen Suiwen was hungry, so he brought him a bunch of vegetables, and even picked the fish bones and put them in his bowl.Chen Suiwen had no choice but to finish the food that Gao Chao gave him under the amazed gaze of the crowd.

Gao's mother looked at her younger son, and silently turned her head to wipe her eyes. The third child finally became considerate, but the person she was considerate to was a man.

After dinner, Gao Chao said: "Have a meeting to discuss how to deal with this matter."

Dad Gao acquiesced, his son has grown up and has his own opinions, he has lost the ability to work, can no longer make money, the right to speak is no longer in his hands, and more often he listens to his son's arrangements. This fact once made him the master of the house. Dad Gao, who has been around for decades, has been sad for a long time, but now he is gradually getting used to it. The eldest son is not around, so naturally the younger son is in charge.

Gao Chao held this meeting mainly to find out about the financial situation of the family and the compensation situation in various aspects. It is not ignorant, but he was taken aback. The most optimistic estimate is that it will cost one hundred thousand or hundreds of thousands.As for their money, only one hundred thousand from Chen Suiwen, 3 yuan from Gao's father and mother, and 2 yuan from Gao's elder sister's private house. As for Gao's brother's money, they didn't know the details. 2 yuan came out to pay the medical expenses, saying that this is the only money.

Gao Chao did some calculations, and the money in hand was a drop in the bucket: "Didn't it mean that the payment for the goods has yet to be recovered?"

"Your brother and sister-in-law are in charge of the payment. Whose it is and how much is it, you have to ask your sister-in-law." Gao Dad said.

Gao Chao scratched his head, looked at Chen Suiwen and said, "I sold my house, and then borrowed some from a friend."

Before Chen Suiwen could speak, Eldest Sister Gao said, "What are you selling your house for? If you want to sell it, you are selling Gao Yang's own." Gao Yang is Eldest Gao's name.

Gao Chao turned his head to look at the house: "You mean this house? How many people can buy a house in the town, and it will be difficult to sell it for a while. Besides, after selling the house, where do parents live?"

Dad Gao said, "Let's go back to our hometown to live."

Gao Chao licked his lips: "Dad, this house cannot be sold. This is the house of my brother and my sister-in-law. In case, in case something happens to my brother, or even if he recovers, it will definitely not be the same as before. , I have to give my sister-in-law something to think about, so that this family will not be broken up, otherwise what will happen to the three children?"

Gao's father was silent, Gao's mother's eyes were red, and elder sister Gao also lowered her head.What Gao Chao was thinking about was the fact that if his brother was gone, or disabled, and the family was poor, in debt, and didn't even have a place to live, and the sister-in-law said she wanted a divorce, people would not only accuse her of having no conscience, but also What can I say, the truly pitiful ones are the children.

Chen Suiwen opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.Gao Chao said: "Let's just settle this matter. This house can't be sold for much money, and even the capital can't be sold back. Just keep it. Well, you don't have to worry about the money. I'll borrow some from my friends. "

Father Gao said, "How can you have a friend who can lend you so much money?"

Gao Chao said: "I can borrow as much as I can. You can also discuss with the creditors, pay the urgent ones first, and pay back the compensation slowly. Money is dead, people are alive, and they will always find a way." The big deal is how hard he is. Just a little, write more books, take more small classes, and after a few years of hard work, it will pay off.

After returning to the room, Gao Chao sat down dejectedly, stared at the ground for a long time without making a sound, only in front of Chen Suiwen, he didn't have to pretend to be so strong.Chen Suiwen walked over and reached out to touch his head: "Don't worry, it will pass. Let me borrow some money from my mother, she should understand."

Gao Chao hugged his waist, buried his face in his stomach, and said sullenly: "No, I sold my house, and I will borrow some from some friends, and I will pay back the rest slowly." .It’s because of your hard work that you haven’t had a good time with me for a few days.”

"What can I say, life without you is not a good life. You can't sell that house for much money, and you are still paying off the loan. Sell my house, at least for the full price." Chen Suiwen said.

Gao Chao shook his head: "No, you can't sell what you say. This is the only thing I can give you. I may not be able to take care of our little family for a long time in the future. I need you to support me. You won't Do you dislike me?" Gao Chao looked up at Chen Suiwen.

Chen Suiwen held his face, lowered his head and kissed him on the lips: "Of course not. I like such a responsible man, your family is also my family, we bear the burden together."

Gao Chao hugged his neck and deepened the kiss: "Sui Wen, thank you! Sui Wen, I love you!"
