Inheritance of Rebirth

125. Pick up

When his mother came back, Luo Chao was reading a book with his younger sister, and he took all the clothes that the little friend spread on the sofa into his bag.

I didn't wash it, so I was going to carry it back as soon as my mother agreed.

The mother who came back from get off work looked tired, ugly, and impatient.

Luo Chao decided to wait until she was eating, hoping that her mood would improve by then.

Dinner was mixed elbow and stir-fried cauliflower. Luo Chao put the rice on the table for his mother, and said carefully, "Mom, I will discuss something with you..."

Luo Chao talked about the day-care situation, the necessity for Luo Shan to go to school, and finally explained that he will take full responsibility.

Mom's first question, "What is the charge there?"

"Based on a daily basis, one hundred a day. They don't rest, you have to work overtime on weekends, and you can leave your children there if you have something to do. It's a hundred anyway."

"You're making it sound like you're paying for it now," my mother doubted, "With the little money Hu Lihua gave you, how many months can you pay for it?"

Luo Chao suppressed his displeasure and said patiently, "After Hu Ni's class is over, we will be on vacation soon, and I will go to work during the vacation."

"Ah."

Mom took a few more mouthfuls of food before saying, "Yuan Cheng will pick you up, I'm afraid it's too much trouble for others."

Hearing her agreement, Luo Chao breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a little troublesome, but it's okay."

Because Yuan Cheng was mentioned, Luo Chao laughed with a particularly proud expression, "He said he would help me."

"Who is Yuan Cheng?" Grandma suddenly asked.

"my friend."

Luo Chao added according to what he had discussed with Yuan Cheng, "My mother helped him open the shop, and he has always been very grateful to my mother."

Mrs. Wang looked at her daughter suspiciously. She knew her daughter—how could she help others?

Luo Ma was about to speak. The phone flashed, and it seemed that she had received a new message. She immediately clicked on it and read it.

Mrs. Wang gave her a white look, "Take a look! I know how to carry a mobile phone all day long!"

Mom seems to have never heard of it.

Luo Chao took the opportunity to say, "Then I will take Shanshan home, mom. You and grandma are also exhausted during this period. You should take a good rest for a few days."

"Why do you go back! How can you, a student in school, bring a baby?"

Grandma patted the dining table and shouted to her mother, "Say something, how about letting Xiaochao bring Shanshan back? You are not afraid of other people's gossip!"

"What are you afraid of? This store wouldn't be able to open without my original inheritance."

Mom didn't think so, "Besides, Xiaochao hangs out in Yuancheng's shop all day long. Yuancheng also likes to cook, and he also likes Shanshan."

Grandma was in a hurry, and she nodded to her mother, "You haven't rented that one yet!"

My mother was taken aback, and after thinking about it, she turned to Luo Chao, "Wait for a while, we'll talk about it in a few days. Shanshan put it here first, and your grandma will help watch it."

"Mom, why did you change your mind again?"

Luo Chao became angry, "Shanshan's going to school is a big deal, can you stop being so casual."

"Why am I so casual!"

Seeing his impatience, my mother immediately became angry, "Shanshan is not yet three years old this year, and she can't even get a lottery, so why worry!"

Luo Chao tried his best to suppress the fire, and recounted the considerations that Yuan Cheng and him had analyzed about Luo Shan's birthday and not being able to go to school.

My mother didn't interrupt this time, but kept eating until she put down the bowl before saying, "You're so far-fetched. According to what you say, you have to go to English kindergarten in the future."

"It's a bilingual kindergarten."

Mom scoffed, "You haven't been to kindergarten, you just went to preschool for a year, isn't it good for your studies now? This is the condition of our family, and you paid for Shanshan to go to such an expensive kindergarten!"

"I'll pay for it. It's an agreement that day. I'll take care of Shanshan from now on."

"Tsk, then I'll wait."

Having said that, my mother's expression was very disdainful, "Don't just talk nicely now, it counts only if you can do it. Okay, then wait a few days for you to pick her up, and then I will call you."

Luo Chao still wants to fight, "I have agreed with the trusteeship center, and I will send it over tomorrow."

"It's okay, it's okay, a few days later."

Mom got up and went to the bathroom to get a haircut, "I have something to go out, you can watch her sleep before leaving."

"Mom, what do you mean!"

Luo Chao chased to the door of the bathroom, "You don't care about her, and if you don't let me take her away, what on earth do you want!"

Grandma also came over, "Where are you going? I cook and eat for you every day and have to wash for you! Wash the dishes before leaving!"

My mother came out after finishing her makeup and said to her grandmother, "Wang Tao said that there is a house suitable for me to go and have a look."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Luo Chao, "You wash the dishes and watch your sister fall asleep before leaving. If everything goes well, you can come and bring her back next week."

Grandma stopped talking and went to the living room to continue watching TV.Luo Chao also understood, but no matter what his expression was, my mother just changed her shoes and went out by herself.

It was past ten o'clock when he returned to the small apartment. After his mother left, he called Yuan Cheng and said that he would be back later, but his sister would not answer it.

On the phone, Yuan Cheng didn't ask any more questions, but only chatted with Luo Shan who had snatched the phone for a while.

After Luo Chao listened to a few words, he went to wash the dishes, then opened the big bag he had just put away, and took out his sister's clothes to wash them off.

But until he put the child to sleep, the mother didn't come back, and he called to urge her to come back early, but he was suppressed.

Before leaving, Luo Chao moved the chair over to block the bed, looked worried and blocked the quilt and pillow on the other side.

This bed was placed in the middle of the floor, unlike the one in his bedroom, only the head of the bed was against the wall, and the other three sides were empty.There was no light by the bed, so he could only open the door wide to let the light from the living room in.

Grandma has gone to bed, her bedroom door is closed.If the mother doesn't come back, no one will care whether the younger sister wakes up or rolls under the bed at night.

Luo Chao wasn't angry anymore, he just felt sad, very sad.

Yuan Cheng didn't sleep, he came out when he heard the door opening, and smiled when he saw him, "I'm back, I made some soup, let's have a bowl first."

Luo Chao's heavy heart lightened suddenly after seeing this smile, and he stretched out his arms to hug Yuan Cheng, "Cheng Cheng."

"Ah."

Yuan Cheng followed his back, "Is it because Auntie is worried about us taking Shanshan?"

"You think too well."

Luo Chao said bitterly, "The store that Wang Tao promised to open for her has not been moved yet. It will be useful to keep Shanshan."

Yuan Cheng's movements stopped suddenly.

"I really can't figure it out!"

Luo Chao said angrily, "She is a mother, she only wants to use the child, she doesn't think about what will happen to Shanshan in the future! My grandma is a mother, she has no sense of right and wrong, and she helps her cover up her calculations, really"

Yuan Cheng rubbed Luo Chao's back, but didn't speak.

In a place where he couldn't see, Luo Chao murmured about the situation at night, and finally said, "I'm really worried about Shanshan, when I left, she shrunk herself into a small ball again, it was too uncomfortable to watch. "

Yuan Cheng sighed, "You should bring her back today."

"I thought about it."

Luo Chao also sighed, "I'm afraid I will bring it back by force, and my mother will come to trouble you tomorrow."

"Probably not. I heard what she meant when she talked to your grandma. It seems that she was just talking about Shanshan and asked Wang Tao to open a shop for her."

"Ah."

"As long as Wang Tao is not a fool, he will not help her open this store."

Yuan Cheng sighed, "As far as my aunt's performance these days at work, she doesn't have the ability to support a store at all, and she doesn't even know how to receive customers."

Yuan Cheng let go, and separated the two, "Just from what you said, you probably had two or three quarrels with customers."

"Ah."

Luo Chao thought for a while, "I heard her say it three times, and there must be more to say. Or even though she didn't quarrel, she has offended the customer. There must be more cases like this."

"That's right. So why would Wang Tao throw away money for nothing? I guess he just perfunctory her. In this case, it doesn't matter whether Shanshan stays or not."

"I should have brought Shanshan back."

Luo Chao frowned again, "I foolishly put her to sleep."

Yuan Cheng persuaded him in a hurry, "Next week, you go back at noon and your aunt is not there, and it's too late, and Shanshan fell asleep by the end of the make-up class at night. Wait for the weekend, and I will tell Teacher Li tomorrow."

"Yeah." Luo Chao looked annoyed.

"Don't worry, it's only a week, nothing will happen."

Yuan Cheng turned and walked to the kitchen, "I have stewed local chicken, why don't you drink a bowl first, and then some sliced ​​noodles?"

"Ah."

Luo Chao changed his shoes and went into the kitchen, "My grandma's stir-fried cauliflower was unpalatable, rotten and salty."

Yuan Cheng opened the refrigerator and took out the reconciled dough, "For the elderly, their teeth are failing and their sense of taste has also deteriorated, so they can only eat soft ones, and the taste is getting stronger."

Luo Chao watched Yuan Cheng set up a pot to boil water, and sighed, "My mother can eat outside, and eat with Wang Tao. I have you, and I can eat well every day. Shanshan can only eat those."

Yuan Cheng also felt uncomfortable hearing it, he tilted his head and kissed Luo Chao's face, "Don't worry, I'll pick it up on the weekend."

"What if my mother still agrees?"

Yuan Cheng smiled, "Then you steal the little thing back."

"Then what if she troubles you?" Luo Chao was still worried.

"If you really want to trouble us," Yuan Cheng sneered, "If you want me, I will say: I just promised to help you, and I don't want to meddle in this business, let her take it away."

Seeing that Luo Chao's eyes were rounded, Yuan Cheng smiled, "If she wants to find you, just say, "You can pick up whatever you want today, but after you pick it up, don't think about me anymore." gone."

"Huh?" Luo Chao was suspicious.

"To tell the truth, there is no reason to let a brother who is in high school take care of the children without both parents."

Yuan Cheng sneered, "She doesn't love children, as long as she knows how to settle accounts, she definitely doesn't want you to let go."

After speaking, Yuan Cheng asked, "But you can't say that in front of Shanshan."

Although he agreed with him to continue to make up lessons for Hu Ni, Luo Chao found that Yuan Cheng seemed to have a new understanding, that is, he had suffered a lot - now the supper at night has become chicken soup, pigeon soup, ribs soup, No more hot and sour noodles.

Luo Chao protested.

was suppressed.

Yuan Cheng was fiercer than ever before, "Either drink, or go back to study at night."

Luo Chao pursed his lips and surrendered.

On Monday, Luo Chao called his mother, who was very impatient when she picked it up, saying that they were all well, and told him not to call if he had nothing to do.

Hearing what she said, Luo Chao didn't contact her again for a few days.They have decided to pick up the kids on Saturday.

Luo Chao came out of Hu's house on Saturday morning and went directly to his grandmother's house. This time he didn't buy anything.When I entered the room, I found that my mother was not there and my sister was sleeping.

"Grandma, are you watching TV?"

Luo Chao said hello, "Where is my mother, isn't she resting today? I'm here to pick up Shanshan."

I don't know if it's because he was empty-handed today, but grandma's attitude became even colder. "Your mother went to work. Two days ago, when Luo Shan was sick, she switched shifts with someone else. Today, someone else is on duty."

"What happened to Shanshan?"

Luo Chao immediately rushed into the hut and probed the child's forehead. The body temperature was normal.

Seeing nothing, he went back to the living room, "I don't think Shanshan has a fever, is she a cold? She's already recovered."

"Well, after hanging up the water for three days, your mother went to the hospital for one day, and I took the other two days to the hospital alone. The hospital is full of patients, and there is no bed at all. I hug and lose every day..."

Luo Chao patiently listened to her grandmother tell her unpleasant experience in the hospital, and then said carefully, "Grandma worked too hard, I will take Shanshan back today."

"okay."

"Give me all her medical records, and is she still taking medicine? I'll take them all back."

Just as grandma was about to speak, the door lock turned, and the two turned their heads, it was my mother.

Luo Chao stood up, "Mom, are you off work? I'll pick up Shanshan."

Grandma also asked, "Why are you back now? What happened today?"

The old mother threw off the pedals angrily, and stepped on the slippers, "I quit! I had a fight with that bitch Meimei today! Damn, being an old lady is so rare..."

Under repeated questioning by his mother and grandma, Luo Chao heard what happened clearly.

The mother and the store manager have been in conflict for a long time. Today she said that her daughter is sick and needs to take half a day off with an infusion. The store manager said that the leave can be granted, but the wages will be deducted.

Mom disagrees, because there are not many people in the store, and they switch shifts when they have something to do.But the store manager emphasized that my mother asked for too much leave, and she couldn't make up for the make-up shift, and no one wanted to change shifts with her.

It turned out that although my mother only took her to the hospital on the first day after her illness, she had asked for leave several times in the store under the banner of this.

Hearing this, even grandma scolded her—it was all because of her nonsense, and my sister really followed her words and fell ill.

Mom and grandma were arguing loudly, and Luo Chao retreated to the hut.

Luo Shan had already woken up, she was sitting on the bed with her mouth flattened, she started to cry when she saw him, "Yes, Shan Shan is very old."

As he said that, he stretched out the back of his bruised and purple hand that had been injected.

Luo Chao picked up his sister, feeling that the weight was a lot lighter, and his heart was sore, but he wanted to laugh when the child stretched out his hand to complain.

Kissing the back of the little hand twice, Luo Chao whispered, "It's not pitiful, it's not pitiful, Shanshan has an older brother, so don't cry, my older brother will take you home."

Luo Shanshan wrapped her arms around her brother's neck, sobbing louder and louder. She was sick these days, and her grandmother and mother kept scolding her. The child was sad and scared for a long time.
