Mu Chen

58. Serve as a soldier

When he arrived at Mu's house, Mu Chen went to boil hot water first, and then began to tidy up the bed.

The house hadn't been lived in for a month, and there was a lot of dust, but neither of the two of them was in the mood to take care of it. Mu Chen just spread out the big bed in the back room and dragged it to the ground hastily, while Yu Yong was writing homework on the side.

After the water was boiled, Mu Chen asked Yu Yong to wash it first. He took the time to sort out the agreement, bank card, and confirmed with Lawyer Liu the time to go to the hospital tomorrow.After Yu Yong finished washing, he went in to take a shower, washed the clothes of the two of them, and set the alarm clock.

Seeing that Yu Yong was still doing his homework, Mu Chen walked over, "How much is left? Can I not write? I will get up at five o'clock tomorrow."

Yu Yong, "It will be over soon, you sleep first, I can sleep in the car tomorrow."

Muchen was also extremely exhausted, "Okay, I'll go to bed first, hurry up too, don't stay up too late."

The morning self-study in Shigao starts at seven o'clock, and Mu Chen must send Yu Yong in before then.Time was tight, and he didn't make breakfast. He just made himself a strong cup of instant coffee, which he didn't usually drink, but now he drank a big cup.

Early in the morning, on an empty stomach, I immediately felt my heart beating like a drum after drinking it. Of course, I was very sober.

In Shicheng in October, the morning was quite chilly, and the two got into the car without talking.Muchen took a coat from the back seat, "Put it on for sleeping first, and I'll call you when we arrive."

Yu Yong took the clothes and covered his body, "I'm not sleepy, let me talk to you, lest you get sleepy."

Muchen smiled, "It's okay, I drank coffee, so I won't doze off all day today."

Yu Yong didn't make a sound for a long time, and Mu Chen thought he was asleep, so he heard him say, "Am I really troublesome?"

It is an interrogative sentence, but the tone is affirmative, like a declarative sentence.

Muchen was sad in his heart, but he couldn't show it.He said flatly, "If you know it's troublesome, you should restrain yourself next time. Don't be so insignificant. You can just pull Wang Fang and the others away. Why do you play so hard?"

Yu Yong, "At that time, I didn't think too much about it. But if you don't play some ruthless, that woman will never end."

Mu Chen said coldly, "If you are being cruel, is that woman finished?"

Yu Yong...

Mu Chen lowered his tone, "How many times have I told you, think about the consequences before doing something, don't be so impulsive, and learn to protect yourself."

Yu Yong was silent for a while, "How much will it cost this time? I didn't see my mother give you money."

Mu Chen's voice was indifferent, "There's not much money, there's a lawyer talking about it, don't worry about it."

Seeing that Yu Yong was silent, he persuaded, "Study hard, let's try to pass the test, the world outside is big, don't trap yourself here."

After a long time, Yu Yongcai said, "I think my grades are pretty bad, and I probably won't get anywhere in the exam."

Muchen stretched out his hand to pat him, "High school is a hurdle. If you don't get used to it, neither will others. It's okay, you'll be fine if you get through it. As long as you don't give up studying, you will always catch up."

Yu Yong...

Muchen, "Go to sleep, I'll call you when it's almost here."

There were few cars in the early morning, and it was just 06:30 when we arrived at the gate of Shigao. Mu Chen took Yu Yong to have breakfast again, and then watched him enter the school.

The 16-year-old boy has a long back, with one shoulder raised slightly to prevent the schoolbag he is carrying from slipping off, but his steps are not fast, his head is half down, and he has no energy at all.

Muchen didn't have time to sigh, he had to go back to Shicheng again, and had to withdraw money, he didn't dare to waste time at all, for fear of another accident.

From Lin Lan's attitude last night, he began to seriously consider making Yu Yong a soldier.After all, even if he brought people to N city, they would still be able to get news and be able to come back.

Yu Yong's ruthlessness, his ignorance and fearlessness towards life and death, made him shudder.

Things went well. He brought the money and the agreement when he went to the hospital. There were only three members of the family in the hospital today. Wu Pingan and Wang Fang happily signed the agreement. He, Wang Fang and Lawyer Liu each had a copy.

After it was done, Lawyer Liu said goodbye and left. Jiang Cheng said he would be responsible for his expenses.

In the hospital, Mu Chen paid [-] yesterday, which is definitely enough according to the doctor, because Wu Tianyu can go home to recuperate within a few days.

Mu Chen left his mobile phone number and told Wang Fang very politely that if the fee is not enough, he can call him. If there is any surplus, he can buy some delicious food for Tianyu to make up for it, plus a pack he brought. With the notes and the photocopied materials sent by Ding Bowen, Wang Fang's complexion finally became less ugly.

After leaving the hospital, Muchen let out a long breath.I called Ding Bowen and made an appointment to go back to City N together tomorrow, and it will not be easy to buy air tickets in two days.

After thinking about it, he drove the car to the market and bought a bag of noodles and a bag of rice for Lin Lan, both of which were fifty catties.I bought another two barrels of oil and some cooked food. I looked at Yu's kitchen yesterday, and there seemed to be nothing but a few dry steamed buns.

It was confirmed last night that Lin Lan would also be off today, so he went upstairs with a bag of rice on his back, but no one opened the door when he knocked.Muchen asked the neighbors, and they said that Lin Lan went out at noon.Mu Chen put the rice at the door and went back to his home first. He cleaned up the house, poured a glass of water and sat by the window, and didn't see Lin Lan enter the community until it was dark.

Muchen's car was downstairs, and when he saw the lights of Yu's house turned on, he went downstairs and moved other things up.

Lin Lan's expression was calm, and Mu Chen didn't say much, so it took two trips to transport them up.

Putting the rice noodles back, Mu Chen looked at Lin Lan, "Aunt Lin, where did you go this afternoon, I'm here and there's no one at home."

Lin Lan looked a little impatient, but her character made her not easy to throw face at anyone, "I went to my sister's house to see how much she can pay me back, isn't she going to pay Wang Fang?"

Muchen's heart softened again, "Then how much do you want to come back?"

Lin Lan, "Two thousand. My sister said that she really has no money, so she asked someone else to borrow it."

Mu Chen sighed, "Aunt Lin, don't blame me for speaking badly, you should also think about it for yourself. If I didn't have money for this incident, what would you give Wang Fang to compensate? Wang Fang really can't be compensated. What should I do if I call the police? You see, you can’t bear to eat and wear all day, you save all the money you save and lend it to others, and you are caught blind when you have something to do with your family.”

Lin Lan's voice became louder, "That's my sister, not someone else!"

Mu Chen, okay, "Even if your sister is not someone else, you still have to save some for yourself. You didn't pay back what you borrowed the first time, so you shouldn't borrow it for the second time. I didn't say, save some Is it easy to make money? It includes what you saved by working overtime and saving money, and what Xiaoyong earned from working part-time!"

Speaking of this, the voice is a bit difficult, "Aunt Lin, Xiaoyong was only a few years old when he went out to work as a part-time job. You haven't forgotten, this summer vacation is actually a bad luck for part-time workers. Tell me about the little money you two have. Is it easy?"

Lin Lan, "..."

Muchen, "their sports car family, the money comes in much faster than you. Look at what they live in, what they eat, and what they put in the house. Then look at your place, Aunt Lin, over the past few years If you don’t pay tens of thousands of dollars, who will you trust? Now that you have such a big incident, you can’t even get your own money back, so I think you should be careful.”

Lin Lan opened her mouth, but said nothing.

Mu Chen asked again, "Then what did your sister say? When will she pay back the money? Or is she not going to pay it back?"

Lin Lan was a little flustered under Mu Chen's questioning, "She said that Xiaoyong is too stubborn after following his father, so he should make him suffer."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Mu Chen's ugly expression.

She didn't dare to say any more, actually this afternoon Lin Hong not only didn't sympathize with her to comfort her, but instead scolded her all afternoon.

For a while, she said that she shouldn't be messing with Wu Ping'an in such a nameless way, that man is unreliable, and she can't afford to offend Wang Fang. Now that she has made her reputation so bad, it will be difficult to find another step in the future .After a while, he said that Yu Yong followed Yu Jianguo, he was just a wolf cub, and he should only know the seriousness after suffering a loss so as not to cause trouble.

But what he said in the end was that since Mu Chen paid a large amount of money and agreed to such a large compensation, he should let him pay the money himself, so don't say she has no money at the moment, even if she has money, she won't return it to her now Sister, whoever negotiated the compensation will pay...

Lin Lan was dragged around all afternoon, and she didn't want much money back. She was feeling aggrieved, and seeing Mu Chen's gloomy expression made her even more sad.

From her heart, Mu Chen's actions and words yesterday were too harsh. She didn't want Mu Chen to pay the money and owe him a favor, but now that she hasn't got her money back, she was short of breath in front of Mu Chen. As soon as I said it, I couldn't help crying.

Muchen is annoyed seeing her like this, but thinking that this is the first time of Yu Yong's rebellious period, he still has to try his best to appease her.

So I twisted a hot towel again, and persuaded me in a good voice, "Aunt Lin, don't cry, I just want you to think more about yourself. You are only in your thirties, and you should plan for yourself for the rest of your life." Have a good time."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Lan's crying became louder.

Mu Chen became even more irritable, and waited for a long time for her crying to subside before saying, "Aunt Lin, don't be foolish, think outside the box, look, you are still young, have a job, a house, and a filial son, how many do you have now?" How many children can go out to work to supplement the family during the holidays, and how many sons can work hard for their mother? Right."

Lin Lan, "..."

Muchen, "Don't be sad, just find someone. Seriously, it doesn't matter if you find someone with a heavier burden. I have Xiaoyong's expenses. You can easily live your own life. Walk wide.

Muchen felt that his words were extremely difficult, he was really not good at resolving depressed middle-aged women, especially Lin Lan just kept crying like this, as if he was the villain who sabotaged her and defended her love.

He said a few more dry words, but didn't get a half-word response, so he could only run away.

After going out, he thought about it and went to Liu Xiaogang's house.

Because of planning and helping Liu Xiaogang in his studies, his parents have always been very polite to Mu Chen.They are all old workers in the factory and know many people. As long as they are willing, they can hear any gossip.But thanking them face to face, Mu Chen still couldn't ask the two of them to keep an eye on Lin Lan's movements.

But Liu Xiaogang complained without any scruples, "Oh, you haven't seen Yu Yong's mother, how can you cry so much, what's the use of crying? I don't know what's going on with Wu Ping'an, if I were Yu Yong, I would have gone crazy .”

Mu Chen smiled wryly, but had nothing to say.

Mother Liu patted her son next to her, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not uncommon for a woman to be frightened by such a big deal."

After Mu Chen said the content of the agreement between the two parties, he left.After Liu Xiaogang sent him out, he solemnly asked him to pay attention to Lin Lan's situation, and to tell him if there was any conflict with Wang Fang.

Liu Xiaogang agreed, but he didn't approve of Mu Chen's cautiousness. He is a big and mature person, and he thinks it's nothing for Yu Yong to fight.How many teenagers in Shicheng haven't fought?

Moreover, Mu Chen, as a neighbor's brother, actually guards against other people's mother like a thief, no matter how you control him, he is too lenient.

He and Mu Chen have a good relationship, so naturally they would say whatever they have, and Mu Chen could only smile wryly after hearing this.

That's right, if you say that he can't surpass the child's mother, but his own mother told him with the facts that not all mothers are necessarily reliable, and Yu Yong's mother made him feel even more cheated.

Moreover, Yu Yong is not just a neighbor's younger brother, Mu Chen often thinks, even if he has his own child in the future, he probably won't be able to put in more effort than Yu Yong.

Maybe Mu Chen didn't realize that either he, Mu Wen, or even Grandpa Mu had a vaguely giving personality.

After returning to N City with Ding Bowen, Gu Ning still thought it would be better for Yu Yong to join the army after hearing what had happened.Muchen hesitated for a long time, and made up his mind that if Lin Lan didn't look back, he would ask Yu Yong for his opinion on whether he would like to go to N City or serve as a soldier.

But before he could make up his mind, news came from Liu Xiaogang that Wang Fang blocked Lin Lan again.

Maybe it was Yu Yong's ruthlessness that played a role, after all Wu Tianyu's arms were still hanging on his chest, this time Wang Fang didn't make a move, just scolded, the words were ugly and Lin Lan didn't refute anything.

When Yu Yong's routine phone call came again, Mu Chen asked about his studies first, but Yu Yong was still struggling and irritable.

After that, Mu Chen tentatively proposed the option of serving as a soldier or coming to N City, and explained all the pros and cons. As expected, Yu Yong immediately chose to be a soldier.

He can't keep up with high school in City Y, so what can he do if he goes to City N?Although he really wanted to stay by Mu Chen's side, he didn't have the qualifications yet.

Yes, in the last few months, Mu Chen probably spent tens of thousands of money for his two fights and going to high school.He can't give him anything except accepting his kindness, so what right does he have to be by his side and continue to worry about him like a younger brother?

And the current situation is like a quagmire, making it difficult for him to even breathe.Going to be a soldier is also one of his dreams since he was a child. Now it is in front of him. Although he still benefits from Gu Ning, the temptation is too great.

Muchen didn't notice Yu Yong's thoughts, not even Yu Yong's thoughts of avoiding study.

He was too worried that Yu Yong would be arrested and beaten as soon as he received the call one day. He might be the most frightened by the two consecutive accidents.Now Lin Lan's behavior is like a whip whipping behind him, so he has to speed up the selection.

Under Gu Ning's arrangement, Yu Yong successfully enlisted in the army in November, and was immediately pulled to other provinces for recruit training.

During this period, Yu Yong only called him once, but wrote three letters. The tone seemed to be well adjusted. Of course, through Gu Ning's relationship, he also realized that it was really okay, so he was relieved.
