Chapter 394 Apology(2/2)
Xue Yuantong shouted: "Chu Chu, I'm here to help you!"
She stretched out her legs and helped Chu Chu move things.
"I'm sorry to trouble you." Hua Fengmei said apologetically, "When I finish moving, I'll treat you to a nice meal."
"No trouble." Aunt Gu helped.
As for Jiang Ning, she was responsible for transporting the luggage downstairs to the truck.
After all, after living there for a year, the Chu Chu family had a lot of miscellaneous things, including pots and pans, not a single one of which was left behind.
Jiang Ning often carries one in each hand to the car easily. He moves very quickly, and the luggage downstairs is not enough for him to carry.
Seeing that there was still room in the truck, Hua Fengmei sent Aunt Gu's battery car up. She sat in the open-air compartment and looked at the luggage, while Aunt Gu sat in the passenger seat.
The truck started and backed out of the alley.
There were only three boys and girls left in the place.
Xue Yuantong waved her little hands to fan the wind. She was so tired just now that it was difficult to breathe.
After resting for two minutes, she kept talking to Chu Chu about Jiang Ning's feats at the entrance of the alley, such as picking up a small iron cart with one hand, which shocked the old man and scared him so much that he shouted that he must not stay here.
In short, Fancy boasted about Jiang Ning, and finally patted her chest and said proudly: "You grew up eating my food."
Xue Chuchu lowered her head to look at Tongtong's small figure and said something that would affect friendship, but she didn't say it.
Xue Yuantong also complained: "Chu Chu, there are so many bad people. Last time I came to your place, I encountered someone fighting. Now that old man wants to blackmail someone again. Fortunately, Jiang Ning is here."
Hearing this, Xue Chuchu brushed her wet hair on her forehead, showing a sweet smile on her plain face:
"There are too many residents nearby. Many people moved to new communities when they got rich, leaving many older people behind. Moreover, the rent here is cheap and there are all kinds of tenants."
"Before, there were people skipping rope at home at night, and there were dogs and chickens that barked every day. Neighbors said that a few years ago, the outdoor unit of an air conditioner fell off in a house."
Xue Chuchu said that although she had not been happy staying here in the past year, she was often woken up at night and could not rest well.
But she still spoke softly, without any anger or complaints.
Xue Yuantong: "It's so chaotic!"
She raised her head and looked up from the narrow alley. Above her head were tangled wires, densely packed old windows, air-conditioning units outside the walls, and dirty white thick water pipes that ran up and down.
She heard the sound of flushing coming from the water pipes from time to time.
Xue Yuantong, who was accustomed to living in the countryside and accustomed to nature, suddenly felt that this place was like a cage, extremely depressing.
Xue Chuchu patted the dust on her clothes and found that it couldn't be dusted off, so she had to change her clothes.
"You must be tired, I'll treat you to some popsicles." She took Tongtong's little hand and walked out of the alley, "I know a shop that sells popsicles, come with me."
Two little girls, all dirty after moving, got together.
Passing by the alley, Xue Chuchu looked at the old man selling sesame cakes, then turned back to look at Jiang Ning. She unexpectedly discovered that Jiang Ning was spotless, as clean as ever.
Jiang Ning was given an old popsicle, and he bit off a piece. The sweetness and coldness were just right, which made him quite enjoy it.
It only costs 50 cents a stick, which is very affordable.
Xue Yuantong wanted to imitate him in biting a popsicle hard, but she was afraid of breaking her teeth. She had no deciduous teeth. If the teeth were gone, they would not grow back.
She secretly thought, how great would it be if Jiang Ning could bite it for her?
No, she was too shy. Just thinking about it made her blush.
Xue Chuchu stood on the side of the road, looking at the vehicles passing by: "Let's go home after eating the popsicles."
"Go back home to Heba!" Xue Yuantong said for her.
"Yeah." Xue Chuchu's brows were filled with unspeakable joy. She had a home in Yuzhou.
After finishing the popsicle, she said, "I'll go back to ride my bike."
Just now they went out to buy popsicles empty-handed, and Chu Chu's battery car was still parked under the building.
Xue Chuchu's journey back was particularly pleasant. She may not have to come to this place again in her life.
Last year, she came to the city from a rural area to study in high school. She was actually not used to it. However, this was her mother's request. For a better education and a better future, she couldn't refuse.
Thinking of Heba's new home, which is equipped with air conditioning, the girl's mood became even better.
God knows how hot it will be in summer if you live on the seventh floor.
In the distance, there was a noise, a roar, and a woman's scream coming from the alley.
Xue Chuchu's expression changed.
Xue Yuantong asked strangely: "Chu Chu, what's going on over there?"
"If I guessed correctly, there was a fight." Xue Chuchu stepped a little faster.
As soon as he saw the entrance of the alley, as expected, a man in his thirties kicked the woman down, then stepped forward, pulled her hair and kicked her.
The woman fell to the ground, her nose and face were bruised and swollen from the beating, and she was unable to fight back.
He kicked and grabbed the woman and pushed her to the side of the big smelly trash can. The scene looked extremely miserable.
Xue Yuantong was stunned, unable to move his steps, and chanted: "Jiang Ning Jiang Ning."
Xue Chuchu looked at the man with disgust in his eyes. He was a rotten man who smoked, drank, gambled, and was crazy. He beat his wife when he came home. He was worse than the worst man in the village before.
But Xue Chuchu didn't dissuade her because her mother had tried to dissuade her before, but it was completely useless.
At this time, many residents came out of the balconies and windows to watch the excitement.
Xue Yuantong didn't know what was going on. She stuck next to Jiang Ning and heard the woman scream. She couldn't bear to see her get beaten. She mustered up her courage and shouted:
"You'll beat her to death!"
After the words fell, Xue Chuchu secretly thought something was wrong.
The next second, the man who committed the crime suddenly turned around, stared at him coldly, and suddenly shouted sharply: "Get away!"
His face was extremely fierce and ferocious.
Xue Yuantong was startled and couldn't help but take half a step back.
Xue Chuchu held Tongtong's hand tightly.
Jiang Ning touched Xue Yuantong's soft hair. He took a step forward, stood tall and said with a smile:
Chapter completed!
