Chapter 142 Chen Shuning and Chen Jiawang are looking for Zhou Dajiang
The morning light poured into the Chen family's courtyard, giving the snow on the top of the wall a layer of golden light.
Chen Jiawang slept well last night and got up early, squatting in the corner to brush his teeth. Chen Shuning pushed open the door and happened to meet Chen Jiawang's eyes.
Chen Shuning stretched and yawned as he asked, "Second brother, do you know Zhou Dajiang?"
"Zhou Dajiang?"
Chen Jiawang's voice was a little unclear. He drank some water, rinsed his mouth, and spit out the white foam in his mouth before speaking.
"Why are you asking about him out of the blue? What happened? Did he bully you?"
"Not really." Chen Shuning came over, squatted beside Chen Jiawang, and whispered, "Second brother, do you know him? What kind of person is he? Is he a vicious person?"
Chen Jiawang sighed and asked, "You're not attracted to him, are you? I'm telling you, that guy isn't someone who can live a decent life. Don't have any bad thoughts about him! Just study hard~"
"I haven't even met him! How would I know him?" Chen Shuning said dissatisfiedly: "I have something important to tell you. Please tell me quickly."
"I know him! He's my junior high school classmate. What's going on?"
"Hmm..." Chen Shuning hesitated for a moment, and thinking that he would need Chen Jiawang's help to meet Zhou Dajiang, he whispered about Chen Qin, Ma Chunlei and Zhou Dajiang.
After hearing this, Chen Jiawang frowned and said, "You guys were deceived by Ma Chunlei, right? Zhou Dajiang is a scoundrel, but he's not that bad.
Besides, if he really dared to do something like that, would the police have let him go during the last crackdown? They would have arrested him long ago."
Chen Shuning blew some warm air on his hands, rubbed them, and said, "Second brother, how about you accompany me to meet him? I need to get to the bottom of this matter.
If it weren't for him, we would have gone to Ma Chunlei to resolve this matter."
"Okay~" Chen Jiawang wiped the corner of his mouth, stood up and said, "Let's eat first! After dinner, we'll go. Dajiang... Anyway, based on what I know about him, he wouldn't be able to do it."
Breakfast was still corn grits porridge. Now that I didn't have to do farm work, the porridge was very watery. Fortunately, I was able to get half a steamed bun, which was enough to barely fill me up.
There was half a plate of pickles on the table, cut into cubes, sprinkled with vinegar, and a drop of sesame oil, and it was considered a dish.
Chen Shuning didn't dare to eat such pickles.
Chen Feng saw Chen Shuning eating cautiously, always glancing at the pickles. He sighed and said, "I'll go to the woods and catch a few sparrows to improve your meals tonight."
Chen Jiawang shook his head and said, "Grandpa, the road outside is not easy to walk on. You can just rest at home! I'll go in the afternoon~"
Chen Shuning finished his meal in two or three bites, clapped his hands, and said, "Grandpa, just listen to my second brother! I'm full. I have something to do in town. Don't wait for me for lunch."
"Yes! I'll go with Shuning."
Chen Feng drank a mouthful of porridge and asked, "Why are you going to town? You two haven't been studying hard lately! This won't do~"
Chen Shuning smiled sweetly and said, "Grandpa, I will definitely study hard tomorrow at the latest! I really have something to do today~"
After she finished speaking, she gave Chen Aiguo a look, and Chen Aiguo immediately said a few good words for her: "Dad, Shu Ning is not fooling around, there is really something wrong!"
"Hey~ you guys~" Chen Feng put down his chopsticks and said earnestly: "Yesterday, Shi Tou came again and wanted Shu Ning to run for the Women's Director. I pushed him to death!
Although these things in the village are not big, they are very energy-consuming. If you are busy with these things all day long, how can you have the time to read?
It’s not that I don’t have a spirit of dedication, but as a person, you can only talk about dedication when you are strong! If you are nothing, you can’t accomplish much practical work even if you devote yourself for a long time~”
Chen Shuning sat up straight and said solemnly, "Grandpa, don't worry, I know my limits! I don't interfere in everyone's affairs."
Chen Aiguo echoed, "Dad! We and Chen Wanlin's family are actually relatives going back three generations! Did you really watch that child Chen Qin get ruined? Just this once!"
I promise you that after I take care of Chen Qin's affairs, I will make sure Shuning and Jiawang study hard and not go anywhere."
Chen Feng picked up the chopsticks again, sighed and said, "You decide~"
Chen Jiawang quickly finished the rest of the porridge, wiped his mouth, and winked at his sister. The brother and sister tiptoed out the door.
Zhou Dajiang's family lived in the alley behind the post office. Chen Jiawang knocked on the Zhou family's door based on his memory.
"Is Zhou Dajiang here?"
An old voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
Chen Jiawang scratched his forehead and responded loudly: "Hello, Grandma! I am Chen Jiawang. I have been to your house before."
"Oh~ Dajiang's classmate! Wait, I'll open the door for you."
After a while, the wooden door opened from the inside, and an old lady with white hair stood at the door, looking at Chen Jiawang with a smile.
"Jiawang~ I haven't seen you in years. Come in quickly~"
"Hey~ Is this your wife?"
Chen Jiawang glanced at Chen Shuning and said with a smile, "No! Grandma, this is my sister Chen Shuning. We have something to ask Dajiang. Is he home?"
"He's not here. He didn't come back last night!" The old lady said with some worry, "Usually at this time, he would be at the bun shop!
Why don’t you go over and take a look? This kid is not obedient at all. I don’t let him mess around, but he insists on going...ah..."
Chen Jiawang nodded and said comfortingly: "Okay, then I'll go find him. Grandma, you go back, it's very cold outside..."
"Jiawang, Dajiang rarely brings friends home, so he brought you here. Please help me persuade him!"
"Got it!" Chen Jiawang agreed: "I'll talk to him later!"
After leaving the alley, Chen Shuning asked, "Second brother, what's their family situation like? They look quite poor..."
Chen Jiawang was a little depressed. He looked back and said, "He is an orphan. There are only him and his grandmother in his family. His grandmother raised him with great difficulty.
He was allowed to study up to the seventh grade, but he refused to go any further, saying he was not cut out for it.
"Second brother, are you good friends?"
"Yes, but later on he often hung out with those scoundrels, and I had to study, so we didn't see each other very often."
"Second brother, you are unhappy."
Chen Shuning's words weren't questions, but affirmatives. Chen Jiawang's unhappiness was written all over his face.
Chen Jiawang sighed and said, "How can you be happy? Look at their family. Zhou Dajiang hasn't taken the right path either. Come on. I'll take you to find him!"
Zhou Dajiang likes to eat buns, especially those with thin skin and big meat fillings. They sizzle with oil when you bite into them, and the taste is amazing!
Take a plate, pour vinegar on it, eat it like this, and pair it with garlic cloves. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
"Shuanzi, sure! That's very generous~"
Shuanzi pushed the meat bun towards Zhou Dajiang and said flatteringly, "We are going out together, how can I let you go hungry?
It's Dajiang. There will be an operation soon. Do you want to go? I'll give you a share..."
"Get out~"
