Chapter 570 Eating Wontons
The next morning, Jiang Guangyi took Jiang Sanniu to the town.
After queuing up to enter the city, the grandparents and grandchildren came to the sleepless alley of Baishi Street.
The Fang family, whom Jiang Sanniu met, rented a house in this alley and made a living by collecting slop.
Although I wouldn't starve to death, after paying the rent for the house and daily food and drink, there wouldn't be much left.
Jiang Guangyi asked five people before he found where the Fang family was.
The Fang family’s house is located at the fork at the end of the Never-Sleeping Lane.
The narrow path can only allow one person to pass through, and there are more than a dozen households in the narrow alley.
There were more than a dozen people in the Fang family, and they slept on a large bunk bed. The house had only one room, no toilet and no kitchen. There was only a simple stove in the house. The windows were particularly small, and there was no chimney, so the smell of firewood smoke could not dissipate every time they cooked.
Before entering, Jiang Sanniu found that the Fang family's house was pitch black due to the smoke from firewood, and an unpleasant odor was also present.
Following the stench, Jiang Sanniu stretched her head and looked to the left.
Two urine buckets were neatly stacked on the left side of the house. This was probably the Fang family's toilet.
"Oh, you're here? Come in and sit down." Ma was helping Fang Silang put on his clothes.
He just pooped all over himself.
Seeing Jiang Guangyi and his grandson standing at the door, she hurried out to greet them.
There weren't even any stools inside because it was so small.
It was so dark in the room that Jiang Sanniu walked over with a frown, only to see a person huddled in the corner of the large bunk bed.
It is said to be a human, but in fact it looks more like a ghost.
He was so thin that he looked unrecognizable, his face was pale, his skin was as yellow as rice harvested in autumn, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, sunken in his eye sockets, he looked lifeless, and his hair was messy like a chicken coop. He seemed to be very shy, and when someone came in, he shrank to the corner of the bed.
If his head hadn't turned as Jiang Sanniu approached, Jiang Sanniu would have thought he was dead.
"Silang, this is the girl from the Jiang family." Ma said to her youngest son Fang Silang.
Fang Silang is Ma's youngest son, and he is twenty-six years old this year.
Because his family was poor, he never got married. When he was 20 years old, he fell and hit his head. Since then, he became confused and couldn't even poop or pee, let alone work.
From then on, no woman was willing to marry him.
Ma had four sons, two of whom died, leaving only Fang Erlang and Fang Silang.
If he hadn't been the youngest son, the Fang family wouldn't have raised him for so many years in vain.
Seeing that life at home was becoming increasingly difficult, it was becoming difficult to collect the swill.
Forced by her second son, Ma had no choice but to reluctantly let her youngest son marry into another family.
This middleman was the one Jiang Guangyi met when he went to the town to sell vegetables.
"Did you poop on yourself?" Jiang Guangyi couldn't hide the disgust on his face when he saw the clothes covered with feces on the ground.
I thought he was just a little confused, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid.
If I marry his granddaughter, can I have sex with him?
"Although my son is confused, he is in good health. As long as you teach him, he will know everything. Life is not easy at home, and none of us have enough to eat. There is no other way. If it were not for this, I would not be willing to let my son marry into your family. So, I will not accept your betrothal money, okay? As long as you treat my Silang well and don't beat or scold him, I will feel at ease."
Ma wiped her tears.
After all, he is her youngest son.
She had a difficult labor and was in pain for three days before giving birth.
But if he didn't send his youngest son away, he would be alienated from his second son's family.
She has to think about her future.
The youngest son was extremely stupid. Instead of helping, he even caused more trouble. The family could not even pay the rent, so they had to send this youngest son, who was eating and drinking for free, away.
"No dowry? Then when will it be decided?" Jiang Guangyi instantly felt that Fang Silang was pretty good.
There is already a crazy person in the family, so it’s okay to have another fool.
As long as you can give birth, it doesn’t matter if you’re a little stupid.
No money anyway.
"Grandpa, I don't..." Jiang Sanniu was slapped back by Jiang Guangyi before she could finish her words.
She covered her face and tears fell heavily.
"Let's do it now. It's better to do it now than to wait for a better day. Both of our families are having a hard time. Let's not prepare any banquets. Just take my son away. Silang, come here and follow this grandfather. He will take you to eat delicious meat."
Ma waved to her youngest son who was hiding in the corner.
When Fang Silang heard that there was meat to eat, he immediately ran over happily.
He pulled the corner of Jiang Guangyi's clothes, smiled foolishly, and his saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth to the surface of his shoes.
Seeing his silly look, Jiang Sanniu cried even harder.
"Okay, then we'll leave. We'll deal with the household registration another day."
Jiang Guangyi didn't care about these at all. As long as his granddaughter could give birth to a great-grandson, he would not bother to look for Fang Silang even if he ran away.
It hasn’t been a quarter of an hour since we arrived at the Fang family.
The grandparents and grandchildren left.
There's a fool behind me.
Coming out of the narrow alley one by one, the three of them arrived at the end of the alley that never sleeps.
There are many shops and stalls selling food here. Fang Silang could hardly move his feet when he smelled the fragrance all over the air.
"Grandpa, eat, eat this." He pointed at the bun shop and said to Jiang Guangyi.
"Eat your mother..." I wanted to curse him, but was afraid that he would cause trouble in the street.
Jiang Guangyi had no choice but to swallow his curse words and patiently coaxed him, "Good boy Silang, we not only have buns at home, but also meat. How about I make you a roast chicken? Have you ever eaten roast chicken? It's so delicious! Do you want to eat it? If you want to eat it, come with me. There are some to eat when you go home. These buns are not delicious. They are bitter."
Sure enough, Fang Silang stopped making trouble.
He took a step forward and pulled Jiang Guangyi forward, and even felt that he was walking slowly.
Coincidentally, Jiang Fubao was invited to eat wontons at Kong's Restaurant today, and Kong's Restaurant happened to be located in the Never-Sleeping Alley of Baishi Street.
Holding the eldest sister's arm, Meng Bujiu stood on the right, and the three of them walked side by side.
Met Jiang Sanniu face to face.
Jiang Guangyi saw Jiang Fubao at a glance, and of course Jiang Sanniu who was crying was also there.
When she saw the man from yesterday, Jiang Sanniu's face turned red like a red-hot piece of iron.
Meng Bujiu was wearing silver-gray clothes today, his hair was casually tied up with a ruby-inlaid silver hairpin, and he was holding a folding fan in his right hand, waving it gently, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Because of crying, her eyes were covered with tears and Jiang Sanniu couldn't see him clearly.
She quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeve, but when she opened her eyes again, there was no one in front of her.
At that time, Jiang Fubao and the other two had already turned and entered the Kong Family Restaurant.
The Kong Family Restaurant has been renovated once today.
The entrance looks extremely luxurious and is not much inferior to the restaurants in town.
If the food sold there was not relatively cheap, it would have been changed to Kong's Restaurant long ago.
"You are finally here. The wontons have been wrapped and are waiting to be cooked. Come and sit in the box." Kong Mingxue, who had been waiting for a long time, came out and took the three of them to the box.
