Chapter 224
Ji Shu's footsteps stopped: "bacon."
"The bacon that was just smoked this year." Ji Dad's voice was proud, "It's best to use bacon fried with fresh garlic sprouts in winter."
Ji Shu can't quite remember what Dad Ji looked like. In his memory, Dad Ji always hunched over his back and worked at the breakfast stall. He nodded and bowed to the teacher during the parent-teacher meeting, and his clothes were still stained with oil stains that could not be washed off.
He avoided meeting: "I still have classes."
"Then I'll put a dormitory for you?" Ji Dad's voice was enthusiastic, "A basket full of bacon, ask your aunt to finally move it from the border town, enough for one winter."
Hearing the last sentence, Ji Shu thought of the food without meat and hesitantly said, "Our dormitory does not accept things from outsiders. I will give you my mother's address."
Ji Shu didn't want to be seen that he had such an adoptive father. He was about to hang up after saying the address, and suddenly said, "Your grandfather was sick last year, thanks to Mrs. Shen's willingness to transfer to another hospital."
He hummed vaguely and hung up the phone.
Ji Shu stared at the phone for a while, wondering if it was his illusion. Ji's father had a cold attitude towards him. He was the one who hung up the phone first.
Should be thinking more.
Ji Shu's face couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or comfort, how arrogant Shen Chi was in front of him would not be loved by his biological parents.
On the other side of the phone, Dad Ji hung up the phone and sighed. He came to Yancheng this time to confirm with the official doctor of the People's Hospital that the transfer had nothing to do with the Shen family, but asked Ji Shu again that he was still lying.
In the past, the couple were afraid of grievances against Ji Shu, and they would rather suffer and be tired than have children. Even if they found out later that they were not their own, they still regarded them as their own, always thinking about whether Ji Shu was doing well in Yancheng.
He thought he had never owed Ji Shu, never thought that the child he loved since childhood would lie about important matters, treat the Shen family who was standing on the sidelines as a benefactor, and even cause them to have a relationship with their own children, and he didn't dare to think how much grievance Shen Chi suffered.
He was full of thoughts and wanted to do his best to compensate Shen Chi, and said to Aunt Ji beside him, "Give Xiao Chi the bacon first."
Aunt Ji just got out of the detention center and was kicked out by her in-law's family as a shame. She knelt outside Ji's house for a long time before letting her in. She changed her previous bossiness and became cautious, and she didn't complain at all when she was busy beside Ji's father.
She asked with a guilty conscience, "Should I go and deliver it to the Shen family?"
Aunt Ji didn't dare to come forward because she was afraid that Shen Chi would hold grudges, and she also had the intention to please the Shen family.
She thought that Dad Ji would not agree, but Dad Ji agreed, and handed her a half-circle of bacon baskets, obviously unwilling to board the door of the Shen family.
Aunt Ji suppressed her doubts, if there was something good in the past, she would definitely hold Xiaoshu close, but she didn't think much about it, and happily walked to the address given by the bacon basket.
She had never been to Yancheng, the high-rise buildings were in the sky, and the canopy gathered in the car Malong, and she couldn't take her eyes off the road.
Aunt Ji walked to the building where the Shen family lived and saw a person who looked like the luxurious and dignified Mrs. Shen on TV. She called out hesitantly, "Mrs. Shen?"
Mrs. Shen had just returned from taking care of Father Shen from the hospital at this time, when she heard Aunt Ji's loud voice and turned her head back, frowning at Aunt Ji in a big green padded jacket: "I don't know you."
Aunt Ji quickly held up the heavy bacon basket: "I'm Xiao Shu's aunt. Xiao Shu kissed me when he was in the border town. Tian Tian's aunt was short, and his father asked me to deliver the bacon."
She didn't dare to look up at Mrs. Shen, she was lingering in her words to please her, and she couldn't survive in the countryside. If the Shen family was willing to look at Xiaoshu's face, it would be better to find her a job in Yancheng. but.
Mrs. Shen never looked down on the Ji family who came from a low-level background. She saw a basket full of bacon and suppressed the disgust in her eyes: "Come in with me."
Aunt Ji responded earnestly, wiped her sweat as if affirmed, and walked into the high-rise building, her steps carrying the bamboo basket could not hide her excitement.
She had never seen a high-rise building in Border Town, and the tallest building was only 20 stories tall. She stared curiously at the number of floors on the elevator: "How did you build such a tall building, it's just like the TV show, I've never lived in such a building before. place."
Aunt Ji also regarded the advertisement screen in the elevator as something unusual, and reached out and touched the screen playing the advertisement: "There is a TV in the elevator, it looks more advanced than the one at my house."
She was sprayed with cheap toilet water, mixed with the greasy smell of the bacon, and the elevator was filled with a strong pungent smell.
Mrs. Shen's face was indifferent. If it were the past, she wouldn't even look at Aunt Ji, but now she has to stay in an empty space, and she frowned and covered her nose.
The elevator stopped on the negative floor. Mrs. Shen walked to the door of the single room and said subconsciously in a commanding tone, "Put your things next to the door and leave."
Mrs. Shen opened the door with the key.
She thought that Aunt Ji was obedient and left, but she just opened the door, and before she entered, Aunt Ji squeezed in with bacon, this woman from a small county town had no eyesight.
Aunt Ji put the bamboo basket next to the cabinet, turned around and stared at Mrs. Shen with her mouth half-open. She looked extra stunned when she matched with the red, green, and thick cotton-padded jacket.
"Look what I do?"
Mrs. Shen's voice showed displeasure.
