Chapter 440: : Jinling

Three days later, Hong Dabao’s beauty and cosmetics store opened. Fang Bai and a group of classmates went to congratulate him. Xia Chenyu and Ruan Hongpeng also went around, but the two of them After offering a heavy gift, he found a reason to leave first.
Most of the congratulations to Hong Dabao were his classmates. Xia Chenyu and Ruan Hongpeng also understood that if the "big men" in the eyes of these two Hong Dabao and others stayed, others would feel restrained, so it was interesting. left.
For the next two days, Fang Bai ate a few meals with Xia Chenyu, and pointed her some questions about her practice, and then drove to Jinling alone.
The reason why he rushed to Jinling in such a hurry was because Qin Yaoluo had news of Zhou Dabai's family.
Although Jinling has millions of people, it is not easy to find people, but the Qin family is the largest family in Jinling. It is not only rich in financial resources, but also has a huge network. The power of the entire family was mobilized. It took only two days to find out. The residence of Zhou Dabai’s family.
The Qin family did not disturb the normal life of Zhou Dabai's family, but informed Fang Bai of their detailed address through Qin Yaoluo's mouth, and then quietly withdrew from the incident.
When Fang Bai arrived in Jinling, it was around 8 o'clock in the morning. He didn't tell Qin Yaoluo of his arrival. He drove directly to an area of ​​the urban-rural junction in the northwest corner of Jinling according to the address provided by Qin Yaoluo.
The buildings in this area are mostly bungalows and tiled houses that have been around for a long time, and some small buildings with two or three floors, but they look very old.
The streets in this area are not only narrow, but due to disrepair, the roads are also bumpy, making it difficult for cars to get in. Fang Bai simply parked his car in a nearby parking lot, got out of the car and walked inside.
Walking two or three miles forward along a street full of puddles and mud, a small courtyard composed of three bungalows appeared on the north side of the road. Fang Bai looked at the house number of the small courtyard and determined it was here. Slowly pushed open the black painted double wooden doors and walked in lightly.
It is far away from the downtown area. There is no noise of pedestrians and vehicles. The courtyard is very quiet. Under a jujube tree whose branches and leaves have fallen out, a middle-aged man in a shabby jacket is squatting there, brushing his teeth and gargle.
When the middle-aged man heard the door ringing, he raised his head and glanced up. After seeing Fang Bai with a smile on his face, his expression was frozen in there with an incredible face.
"Uncle Zhou!"
Fang Bai approached the man and yelled softly.
"Fang Bai!"
The middle-aged man returned to his senses and lost his voice: "You... why... why did you get here? This... did Dabai tell you the address?
The middle-aged man is Zhou Dabai's father, Zhou Houde.
In Fang Bai's memory, Zhou Houde and Zhou Dabai's father and son were almost carved out of the same mold. They were tall, white and fat, and smiled when they greeted people, like Maitreya Buddha.
In the past, Zhou Houde loved cleanliness. Although the clothes he wore were not brand-name, he was always ironed upright. When he went out every day, his beard would be shaved clean.
It was Zhou Houde in front of him, as if he had changed his person, his whole body was thinner, his skin was much darker, and his expression was full of gloom. Obviously, the time passed was very unsatisfactory.
The jacket he was wearing was not known for how long it had not been washed. It looked dirty and old, as if it had come from a garbage dump.
"Dabai didn't tell me, I found it by myself."
Fang Bai looked at Zhou Houde and sighed, "Uncle Zhou, why are you so downhearted?"
"Ugh……"
Zhou Houde also sighed and said with a wry smile: "I borrowed a loan shark to do business, but the family lost all the money and it was not enough to repay the debt, so I had to run away... Forget it, I won't mention the past! Fang Bai, sit in the house! I will call Dabai and ask him to come back and speak with you!"
"Da Bai is not at home?"
"He helped in a small clinic nearby, earning some pocket money and spending it himself."
"Where's Auntie?"
"Your Aunt Wu, she washes dishes, cleans and cleans people in a small hotel not far away. She can earn one or two thousand yuan a month. If you come ten minutes later, you may not find it. When someone arrives, I am ready to go out and find work!"
"Auntie is okay?"
Fang Bai asked again.
In the past, Zhou Dabai’s mother, Wu Yufen, was not in good health and stayed at home to recuperate. Later, Fang Bai prescribed some medicine for her to be cured. However, Wu Yufen’s physique was so bad that she could not do heavy work even if she recovered. , Otherwise there is a possibility of recurrence.
When Fang Bai returned to Zhongzhou last time, he wanted to give Wu Yufen a second treatment, trying to restore her body to normal, but he did not expect that their family moved to Jinling in order to avoid debts.
Fang Bai once warned Wu Yucha to take care of her body, but now she goes to the hotel to do chores to earn money, which shows how embarrassing their family's life is.
"Uncle Zhou, call and let Dabai and Aunt Wu come back! Also, let them quit their job and stop doing it!"
Fang Bai said sternly.
Fang Bai and Zhou Dabai are iron buddies, and the relationship between the two has always been very good. Fang Bai had no ability to help Zhou Dabai's family before, but now he can do it easily.
Fang Bai is going to let Zhou Dabai’s family and himself go back to Zhongzhou to pay off their debts, and then help them get a house near their home of Chinese medicine. Both parties continue to be neighbors. When nothing happens, the parents of the two families can do as before. Sit down and talk together.
"Can not be done!"
Zhou Houde shook his head and said: "The jobs of Dabai and your Aunt Wu were hard to find. They both quit their jobs. Our family has to drink Northwest Wind! Wait, I will call Dabai and ask him to invite him for a long time. Fake, you two good brothers have a good chat! Let Aunt Wu buy some food at noon, let's sit down and have a meal together!"
"Let me call! What is Dabai's current cell phone number?"
Zhou Houde told Fang Bai his son's mobile phone number. Seeing that Fang Bai actually used a fruit phone, he asked casually, "Fang Bai, has your TCM clinic been doing well recently?"
When Zhou Houde took his family out to hide from debts, the business of the "Fang's Traditional Chinese Medicine Museum" just picked up. He saw that Fang was dressed well and used a more expensive mobile phone. He wanted to come to their house for better business than before.
The life of the old neighbors gets better, and Zhou Houde is happy for them, but he can't help but feel a little sad when he thinks that his family has fallen to where they are now.
"Okay!"
Fang Bai answered vaguely, then dialed Zhou Dabai's phone, only saying "Dabai, I am Fang Bai, I am at your house, talking to Uncle Zhou." Then he hung up.
