15. Insomnia
Zheng Shan was talking about his own words, but Li Yuan was also silent and did not speak.
Li Yuan really didn't know what to say.
The sky tonight is very good. Although it is night, he can still see some of Zhengshan's situation clearly.
His complexion was rosy, and his temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes.
And what about him?
Looking at his dirty and patched clothes, the yellow sneakers under his feet were even more tattered.
Dirty face and tired look are in stark contrast to Zheng Shan.
"Okay, I'll talk so much tonight. I think you're tired too. You can take these. When I go to you tomorrow morning, don't refuse, or my brother won't be able to do it." Zheng Shan saw Li Yuan's mentality, so he took out something from his pocket, stuffed it into Li Yuan's pocket, and left.
Li Yuan stared blankly at the back of Zheng Shan leaving, and when Zheng Shan entered the room, he still didn't move.
Li Yuan really didn't expect that Zheng Shan would still treat him as a brother.
To know the people in the entire compound now, who is not avoiding him, Li Yuan?
Zheng Shan must also know about his Li Yuan's situation, but it is still the same.
Taking a deep breath, wiping the corners of his eyes, Li Yuan took what Zheng Shan had given him from his pocket.
I didn't look at it much, and I didn't think about returning it to Zheng Shan.
From Zheng Shan's tone, Li Yuan knew that if he really didn't want it, then this brother really couldn't do it.
As for why he took it out of his pocket, it was very simple, his pocket was broken.
It's fine when sitting down, but as long as you get up together, the contents of your pockets will definitely fall.
Li Yuan returned home and saw his mother still in the main room, not only his mother but also his daughter-in-law.
"Mom, Yuefen, why haven't you slept yet?" Li Yuan asked.
Immediately, I saw that there were stir-fried vegetables and rice on the table. Although it was brown rice, it was unaffordable for their family before.
Seeing her son, Li Ma couldn't hold back her tears again, but she still forcibly held it back and said quickly, "Sit down and eat."
"Mom, what are these?" Li Yuan still hasn't reacted.
Li Ma said, "My mother borrowed it from Zheng Shan's house. Don't blame my mother. The family really can't support it. Mom is fine, but Yuefen and Nannan are not good."
Saying that, Li Ma looked at her son a little nervously.
Seeing his mother like this, and thinking of what Zheng Shan said before, Li Yuan's throat seemed to be choked on by something.
For the sake of his so-called face, he was cruel enough to starve his mother, wife and children, especially because of Zheng Shan, who took him as his brother.
In fact, this is also normal. If Zheng Shan didn't play well with Li Yuan, Li Yuan wouldn't be so reluctant to give up the little face left.
"Mom, it's okay." Li Yuan took a deep breath.
Then he sat down and handed the things in his hands to his mother, "Mom, keep these."
He hasn't looked closely yet.
Li Ma took it subconsciously, and then said with some fear: "Xiaoyuan, where did you come from? You must not..."
She didn't say anything later, but the meaning was obvious. She was afraid that her son would go astray again.
It's really a lot of money and tickets.
One hundred yuan, plus some food stamps, including meat stamps.
These were exchanged by Zheng Shan on a special trip to Liu Yi and the others this morning. This time, they were exchanged in US dollars. Of course, Liu Yi and the others were very happy.
Moreover, Zheng Shan used the official exchange rate to exchange these things. Although Liu Yi must have given more in the end, no matter what, Liu Yi and the others still earned it.
In this regard, Liu Yi and the others have no psychological burden. They are not particularly aware of Zheng Shan's specific situation, but they also know that this amount of money is probably dropped on the ground, and Zheng Shan is too lazy to pick it up.
Moreover, there is no problem with Zheng Shan's money, and he can take it out at will.
Li Yuan was also taken aback when he saw this, "Mom, don't worry, Dashan gave it to me."
"Dashan?" Li Ma was still in disbelief. She only borrowed 50 yuan and some food coupons from Zheng Shan's house this morning.
Now give your son so much?
Li Yuan affirmed: "Yes, it is Dashan. He was waiting for me in the yard just now and gave me the things."
"But...that's...so much." Zhu Yuefen couldn't help but speak.
She had never seen so much money. Zhu Yuefen herself was from the countryside, and the poor in her family couldn't help it.
Otherwise, Zhu Yuefen would not have come to the capital to become a blind stream.
Now, my husband's friends take out so much at will, and this was given in the morning.
"Da Yuan, we can't ask for it, it's too much, and Dashan gave it in the morning, enough for our family to live for a long time." Li Ma said quickly.
At this time, Li Yuan calmed down and persuaded: "Mom, you can keep it. If I take it back now, Dashan may not recognize me as a brother."
After speaking, Li Yuan said again: "And I will return it to Dashan, you can rest assured."
Li's mother was still a little uneasy with the money, but when her son said so, she didn't say anything more.
Now this family is also the son in charge of the house.
Li Yuan asked his mother and wife to eat it too, but both of them said they had eaten it. They did eat it, but only a little.
Although there is some money in the family now, it is borrowed, and I am really poor and afraid to eat more.
After Li Yuan finished his meal, he ate all the food in the pot and bowl cleanly. He was really hungry.
"Xiaoyuan, this child Dashan really has nothing to say to you, there is nothing else in our Lao Li family, but you must know what's wrong.
No matter what you become in the future, you must remember this feeling today. "In the end, Mama Li just said this.
Li Yuan nodded fiercely, and he naturally understood in his heart.
After Li Yuan and Zhu Yuefen went back to sleep, Li Yuan hugged his daughter-in-law and said, "Yuefen, from today onwards, you should also eat more, and tomorrow you will use the money to buy some brown sugar to supplement it."
"Yeah." Zhu Yuefen heard her husband's concern and answered in a low voice.
In this era, brown sugar is actually equivalent to a tonic in the minds of many people.
At this time, Li Yuan couldn't fall asleep either. One was to support it, and the other was what happened today.
In fact, Li Yuan was also very confused, because he didn't know what he would return the money to Zheng Shan in the future.
Over one hundred and fifty dollars.
If this is put in the past, let's not talk about some of my family's wealth, that is, my father's monthly salary for work is more than 33 yuan.
If you save for a while, you can always pay it back.
But now that he can't even support his family, what will he give back to Zheng Shan?
So thinking about it, Li Yuan lost some sleep.
