Chapter 061: Jumping Into the Fire Pit "
But Dad, if you don't say this, I'm more curious. Auntie and Du Jiading have something to do with the uncle's murder, or did you offend the Du family before?" There must be other important reasons behind it.
"Don't ask! I will continue to investigate this matter. You stay in the army and come back to spend more time with your mother when you have time." Zhao Zhiguo once again did not let him ask more.
Zhao Lichen knew that his father wouldn't talk any more. He was forced to talk about it today, but he usually ignored him.
He murmured, "It's better for me to accompany my mother than you to accompany her, Xiaoxiao said that she often has something to worry about, and now she's sick. If you care more about her, she won't be too worried about herself. I think I'm sick."
Zhao Zhiguo felt guilty after hearing the words, "Okay, it's my fault, I've stayed for the past two days. In the end, I owe your mother too much to this family." One thing came to mind, "You said that Li Xiaofang ran away from marriage, so you don't have a wife now. I heard you have been mentioning that Xiaoxiao just now. That girl is medically skilled and works here. If you are interested in her, marry her."
Zhao Lichen scolded angrily: "Our family is as complicated as a fire pit, so people can jump into a fire pit. Besides, she... doesn't look down on me!"
Zhao Zhiguo's foot that was about to leave immediately stopped, looking up and down his son became suspicious.
This is not right! My son is about 1.8 meters tall. He looks good, and he is not bad at the military level. One girl escaped marriage, and the other one doesn't like it. What is the situation? His son is not so bad!
"Lichen, I think you're fine. How could one or two girls not want to marry you? No one else knows about our family. How could it affect your life-long affairs?"
Zhao Lichen looked up at the sky and said speechlessly, "Dad, you forgot that Xiaoxiao knows medical skills. Grandma's poisoning in her own home must be done by her family. Plus Lijuan has been targeting her, she can still be happy to stay, the key is I thought she was Li Xiaofang at that time, and it was not good for her... Thinking about the situation in our family, let it go... Don't harm her, she is also pitiful, her parents are gone, she is the only one left in the family, and now she is in this hospital She is also taken care of at work, let's not disturb her life."
His eyes were frustrated and his expression was a little depressed, especially when he heard Xiaoxiao's conversation with her mother, he knew that Xiaoxiao didn't want to enter Zhao's house.
Zhao Zhiguo looked at his son's lost expression and knew that he must be looking for a girl, but unfortunately the girl didn't want to marry her because of the Zhao family.
"Maybe you will still have a chance in the future...I will stay at home for the past two days, and you can go back to the army tomorrow."
"I know." With him staying to take care of his mother, he can go to work with confidence, just remembering what Ye Qiaosheng said thing, he has to go out. "I have something to go out and come back later."
After speaking, he strode away.
Zhao Zhiguo doesn't worry about him. This son has always been prudent in his work. As long as he doesn't go to investigate the family's affairs, he would rather be involved alone than to have any trouble with his son in the future.
Zhao Lichen went out to find someone to help Xiaoxiao's house rebuild.
In the hospital, Zhao Zhiguo returned to the ward.
When Zhao Lijuan saw her father came back, she went out on her own, so she didn't have to stay in the ward and smell the unpleasant medicine all the time.
"Sit, don't move! Take a good rest these few days." Seeing that she was about to sit up, Zhao Zhiguo didn't let her get up.
"Don't scold Lichen, he just has a bigger temper..."
Tian Hua was afraid that when he came back, the relationship between father and son would become strained because of her illness.
"No, don't worry, you know my temper, I may scold him outside, but I rarely talk about him at home. When the child is older, he doesn't need to be watched by us all the time. You, I've been worrying about this and that all day, no wonder you're tired and sick now."
After sighing, the old husband and wife are tired, and he feels uncomfortable when she is so tired.
Tian Hua didn't know why her eyes were flushed with grievances and the urge to cry, and she didn't know how long he hadn't talked to her so peacefully.
"I'm not tired. Besides, I'll be tired if I just do some housework. Maybe my body is not as good as I used to be when I'm older." With both children so old, she changed from a flower-like girl to a middle-aged woman who kept worrying about the house every day. The old man is tired, how can he give half of his life.
Zhao Zhiguo saw her lonely look in his eyes, and he always felt sorry for her and didn't play the role of a good husband and father.
I couldn't help but apologize: "You are two years younger than me, so how old are you. Listen to my words and do less work in the future. As for my sister-in-law, Lixia will help her work in the future. Lixia is not married yet. If you're so old, it's better to help you with some work, otherwise how will you get married in the future."
Tian Hua felt a little panicked when she heard what he said, and she was in trouble! The sister-in-law must have known about the last time Lichen quarreled with his sister-in-law. That's why he would talk like that, or he wouldn't inexplicably say let Lixia work.
"Don't blame Lichen, that child is also afraid that I will get sick again. I will do less work in the future, and I will not cause you any more trouble!"
Zhao Zhiguo frowned and looked at her flustered look, "What are you talking about, I really don't care. Strange Lichen, but I am very glad that he is a filial child. Don't worry about me scolding him. He is taller than me now, and his eloquence is sometimes better than me. How can I teach it, and you see Do I look like I'm angry now?"
After speaking, let Tian Hua look at himself.
"People are dark and old..." Tian Hua said after taking a look.
"It's not for you to see... Forget it! I'm indeed getting old too. Thinking that our son Lichen is twenty-two years old this year, don't think too much about it, I usually protect some sisters-in-law, except for the reason why my eldest brother passed away, I also think they are It's not easy for the family to give in more now, so don't take it to heart. After all, I'm sorry for the big brother, and I didn't take good care of our family."
After saying that, there was more vicissitudes on his face, and more sadness in his eyes.
When his father left, his brother had been protecting him. He didn't expect his brother to be so young and only in his thirties.
"But why did you treat your sister-in-law... I know that the object of my sister-in-law's blind date was you..." After speaking, she turned her face away.
The old couple shouldn't have bothered about this kind of thing, but she couldn't help but ask now.
Zhao Zhiguo helped his forehead, these two people suspected him, he was really wronged.
Can't help but hurriedly defended: "You, think about it again, I told my sister-in-law that it was because of the big brother, there is one more thing, you will know it later, just wait for two years to set up a new university, you are fine now Don't think too much about recuperating, don't think about the messy things that you don't have, I'm in my 40s this year, how can I still do things that I'm sorry for you, don't you want an old face, let the children know how ridiculous you are to think like this.
Recuperate well, these two God, I asked for leave to come back to take care of you. Thinking about how fast time flies, we have been married for 23 years, and it feels like only ten years have passed. I should retire after Lichen gets married in a few years. I brought my grandson."
After speaking, he sighed with emotion.
Chapter 62 Treating others as Fools
Tian Hua scolded angrily: "There is no grandson, the daughter-in-law has run away, don't let our family Lichen, without a daughter-in-law, where can we hold the grandson?!"
"This... You are saying that the Li family regretted their marriage. Well, this Li family is too outrageous, and they don't say anything about their repentance." Zhao Zhiguo said angrily.
Tian Hua leaned against the head of the bed, a little annoyed on his face.
"I can't blame the Li family. If I want to blame Lijuan, she told Yumei the address of the Li family. Yumei may have written to the Li family and told Li Xiaofang about the fact that our family Lichen killed a fiancee before, and also said People in our family are not easy to get along with, and the family is complicated and has a temperament like Lijuan. How dare other girls marry.
This is not Xiaoxiao, that baby is not willing to marry Lichen, Lichen's marriage Yumei was completely ruined, you tell the Lu family, and tell her daughter to stop running to our house in the future. It's also your fault. You are so kind to Yumei on weekdays, it seems that our family still wants her to marry. It 's like Lichen.
You see something happened now. He secretly persuaded Lichen's fiancée to not dare to marry him, and here he instigated Lijuan and Xiaoxiao to get along. I have always looked down on her. I really want to ask such a daughter-in-law to come back. After that, the Zhao family will be even more uneasy. When I was a child, it looked fine, but when I grew up, it became crooked. It's like messing with other people's affairs like this."
Tian Hua said, and people became angry.
Zhao Zhiguo frowned, "There is such a thing... that Lichen really can't marry her, besides her parents don't agree with this marriage?"
"But she can't help but like our son's destruction behind his back!" Tian Hua was angry and scolded, so it would be difficult for Lichen to find a daughter-in-law.
Zhao Zhiguo understood what she meant, and persuaded: "Don't worry, I will tell the Lu family very much about this matter. Since Yumei's mind is not right, Lichen doesn't think she can marry her. Of course, it's just Lichen's marriage. After such a bad situation... Forget it! There have been a lot of family affairs recently, and he is not too old now, so I will give him another marriage next year."
Tian Hua sighed regretfully, "Unless Yumei gets married, that girl will not be at ease. Although she is now infamous, Lijuan doesn't want to be with her anymore, for fear that she will not give up. But I like Xiao Xiao. Xiaoxiao is a daughter-in-law, I think Lichen is also interested in her, otherwise Xiaoxiao would not be unhappy when he left him. It's just that Xiaoxiao doesn't want to get married now, saying that he is still in school. At that time, but I heard Lichen say that Yunhai's child also liked her. They were both classmates in medical university. Yunhai's hope of chasing Xiaoxiao was bigger than Lichen's. It is estimated that this daughter-in-law will be robbed by others ."
After speaking, he became depressed again, how could his son's marriage be so unhappy...
Zhao Zhiguo didn't think anything, "Don't worry about Lichen anymore, besides Lichen is a soldier, it is not easy to be a military wife, not ordinary women can be. Yes, you are someone who has come here who understands the hardships of being a military sister-in-law the most. Besides, a twisted melon is not sweet. If that child doesn't want to marry Lichen, it will be bad if he finds out that Lichen can't stay at home often and then make noises. Besides, maybe the two of them can't stay together for a long time. It's better to see if they get along with each other before marriage and see if they can be together. Besides, why should a good man be without a wife, not to mention the fact that our son has a cousin who is afraid that he won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law."
"But "..."
"Don't be rude, drink some water and sleep for a while, I've said that for so long."
After speaking, he stood up and poured some water from the thermos into the enamel jar, tasted the temperature before giving it to Tian Hua.
After Tian Hua finished drinking, he knew that this person would not say anything if he continued to ask. In addition, she had drank the medicine before, and now she was really tired.
Zhao Zhiguo saw that she was asleep and did not leave the ward but stayed by her side, picking up a book beside the bed and flipping through it.
When Zhao Lichen came back, he brought some food, which he bought from outside. He wanted to stay to watch the night at night, but because he had to return to the army tomorrow, he was driven back by his father, and he stayed alone to take care of Tian Hua.
Zhao Lichen thought about it too. If parents spend more time with each other, it may be good for mother's illness and get better soon.
When he was walking home, he saw a man standing at the door. Zhao Lichen was very angry when he saw this man.
"Lichen, you're back, how is Auntie... I've been worried at home." Lu Yumei clutched at the corner of her clothes and looked worried.
After she came back from being detained for a few days, the whole community ridiculed her. Her parents even educated her for several days, and then went outside to explain to everyone that it was just a misunderstanding that she didn't steal anything. But her reputation has been completely ruined. Those who originally intended to marry the Lu family backed away and refused to care about her family. Suddenly, the girl in the community was envied by everyone and became the object of ridicule and gossip. , She had never felt so embarrassed in her heart.
Zhao Lichen glanced at her and said angrily, "My mother is fine, and why are you here? Don't come to my house in the future, so as not to ruin Lijuan's reputation."
He didn't want to talk to her, and wanted to go in.
Lu Yumei hurriedly grabbed him, "What do you mean by this? What happened to Lijuan?" She thought it was Lijuan's accident.
"Lijuan is all right, but I'm afraid that she will become as bad as you if she spends more time with you. You don't need me to tell you about the Li family. I warn you, don't think that others don't know what you do. , don't take yourself too seriously and treat others as fools."
"Brother Lichen, you're so strange today, why can't I understand what you're saying?" looked at him confused.
"Humph! If you hadn't said it, how would the Li family know that my wife and my family are difficult to get along with? Lu Yumei, i warn again, next time you dare to do something like this to hurt my Zhao family, I will never let it go. After you!" After saying that, he slammed the door shut.
Lu Yumei looked at the closed door angrily, but she didn't expect Li Chen to look at her with disgust now, never before.
Obviously she is an excellent employee in the group, and she looks good here, but Li Chen has always looked down on her. When I saw her before, I didn't want to talk to her at most, but now I hate seeing her. It was all because of that woman, but she was not her opponent. Not only was that woman a college student, but she was also an intern in such a big hospital. She was more capable than her. Except for her family background, she couldn't beat her in any way, and she felt very aggrieved. The man she has liked for so many years has been hooked away like this. Does she really want to obey her mother's advice and marry the son of the head of the grain station...
She is bitter and unwilling, what will she do in the future...
Chapter 63 Rejection Again
Tian Hua has been in the hospital for two days and has to go home after going through the discharge procedures. She can only take care of her disease slowly, mainly because she should pay more attention not to overwork and not to fluctuate too much. When she returned home, Zhao Lichen The invited sister Zhao also came, and she really helped her a lot on weekdays.
At the end of February, Ye Qiaosheng came to the hospital and told Xiaoxiao that her house could be built, but she had to keep a low profile and not let too many people know about it.
Xiaoxiao felt that there was no need to worry about this problem at all, it was a hidden place, in the innermost part of the alley, and few people usually went there. Even if there is any big movement there, it will not attract a lot of people's attention, plus she will tell people not to make too much movement when the time comes. Moreover, Ye Qiaosheng also took the initiative to help her find a few masters who built houses, so that she could work with peace of mind, and he helped to watch other things besides her money for building the house.
Xiaoxiao felt a little sorry that he helped so much, so he said that Xiaoxiao saved Qiao An's life, and that Xiaoxiao was helping her in the rehabilitation of Qiao An later, so he thought it was her favor this time.
So Xiaoxiao felt more at ease. The workers also built the house according to the drawings she gave, and Xiaoxiao also bought the old house next door. The family had no money to sell the house. She just saw that she had money now Bought it, so now her old house has a large area, which is larger than the area of Zhou's own house for her uncle's house before, and this time, Xiaoxiao specially designed the drawings to build it according to her ideas.
It looks like a very ordinary courtyard from the outside, but the inside is designed according to the modern layout, and the bathroom should be very complete.
Building such a house directly cost Xiao Xiao nearly 1,000 yuan. Fortunately, she sold the medicine to Dr. Xue twice and the compensation money left by her parents was enough. It is estimated that the house only cost half of her savings. arrive.
Xiaoxiao walked out of the yard, and it will be completed in half a month and can move in.
I went back to the dormitory in a happy mood. Before I went upstairs, I saw a familiar figure. It was Yunhai waiting for her downstairs. I don't know how long she waited for her.
"Aren't you still in class today?" Today is still class time on Friday.
"No class today, I'll come to see you when I'm free. Are you alright now?"
"It's alright, what's wrong?"
"No, I just came to visit you when I'm bored." Zhao Yunhai said.
Xiaoxiao knew that he was interested in her, but she hadn't decided whether to date him or not. She felt that Yunhai was a good person, just regarded him as a friend, and didn't think about a marriage partner.
He has come to see her several times these days, but it's not good if he doesn't see him, so why don't you just make it clear today and refuse.
"Let's go, I just want to talk to you about something."
Zhao Yunhai was very happy to see that Xiao Xiao did not refuse to go out with him this time, unlike the previous few times, when he asked her out for a walk, he was unwilling to always shirk and say the hospital There is something in there.
Zhao Yunhai took her to the park. In the spring, many flowers bloomed in the park, especially this small peach garden. The peach blossoms were in clusters, as if to drive away the remaining spring cold, and the breath of spring was getting stronger and stronger. Under the peach blossom tree, in the flowing stream, the falling peach blossoms flow with the water, and the charming scenery attracts many people around to watch.
Xiaoxiao looked around and smelled the fragrance of flowers and felt relieved.
It's very easy to be with Yunhai, and I always take her to some fun and beautiful places.
"How is it, the scenery here is good." Yun Hai looked at Xiao Xiao and smiled.
Xiaoxiao nodded, "It's really good, the temperature has risen a bit and it's not as cold as before."
At the end of February, winter has gone, and spring has come.
"Xiaoxiao, if you don't go to class now, the class is less lively. There are not many girls in our class. Without you, the classmates often ask me how you are doing now."
Xiaoxiao smiled, "Really, thank them for caring, and tell them I'm doing fine now."
A few days ago, Yunhai said that he would take her to see her classmates, but she refused. She is not the real Zhou Xiaoxiao, and I was afraid that she was not Zhou Xiaoxiao who was discovered, so the people who Zhou Xiaoxiao knew before basically disappeared. .
"Xiao Xiao, I found that you have changed a lot. You used to be more lively. Is it because your parents passed away that you are now like this..."
Yunhai looked at Xiao Xiao, and every time she saw her, she always felt that she was with her. A lot has changed before. I didn't know that she was hiding such a good medical skill. She was so arrogant in school that most people didn't look down on her. He was the only one who could tell him a few words, but she always treated him as a friend. Not a relationship between men and women.
Xiaoxiao looked at the front and said lightly, "Yes, maybe I have really changed." More than that, the soul inside is not the original Zhou Xiaoxiao. The two have different personalities and hobbies. How could it be possible? Still the same person.
Looking at Xiao Xiao now, Zhao Yunhai always felt that she was getting further and further away from him.
Can't help but ask: "You are alone... Do you want someone to care about you and take care of you in the future?" The meaning of the words is very obvious, and she has confessed it before, but she rejected it.
"Yunhai, didn't we say we're just friends for the time being? Besides, we're both young now. If you meet a more suitable girl in the future, you may regret knowing me too early, and I'm the only one in my family. , your family is different, can your parents accept me as an orphan girl without parents!
I know for myself that the gap between our two families is too big, and besides, we are only in freshman year, so it will be too late to talk about relationships in the future."
Rejected again He, she really doesn't want to have anything to do with anyone right now.
"Is it because of Cousin Lichen, before you and him..." Yun Hai asked unconvinced.
"I have nothing to do with him at all. I'm friends with him, don't get me wrong. It's my reason for not wanting to get married too early. I'm used to living alone, and I'm less willing to accommodate others, including you. Also my friend, I don't want to change my current state, besides, I'm living a good life by myself, and I really don't want to talk about personal issues."
"But Xiaoxiao, I really like you!"
Zhao Yunhai said anxiously, anxious in his heart, when Xiaoxiao rejected him again, he was flustered.
"But I—" Before he could finish speaking, he heard someone calling his name from behind.
A middle-aged woman came, and Zhao Yunhai was somewhat similar to her in appearance. Wearing a grass-green military uniform with a bit of majesty on his face, such a person can see at a glance that he has a family background.
When Xiaoxiao saw her, she guessed the identity of this person, and sure enough, Yunhai called out when he saw him: "Mom, why are you here?"
"Your grandfather is here, when the weather is warmer, I will push your grandfather out for a walk. "
Grandpa Zhao Yunhai participated in the war and injured one foot, and now he can only use a wheelchair when he is old.
Yun Hai saw his grandfather not far behind and heard his mother say, "Go and talk to your grandfather for a while, your grandfather mentioned you just now."
Chapter 64 Can't Marry My Son
Yunhai nodded and said to Xiaoxiao, "This is my mother. Mom, this is Zhou Xiaoxiao, my classmate."
After introducing them to each other, Zhao Yunhai walked over to his grandfather.
Zhao Yunhai's mother, Xu Wenhui looked at Xiaoxiao up and down. She had heard her siblings talk about this girl, saying that she worked in their hospital, and her medical skills and abilities were very good. Now that I met the real person, I didn't expect that such a young and good-looking classmate would be Yun Hai's classmate. Everyone would do major surgery, but his son had never even taken a scalpel, but no matter how good a girl was, her family was not worthy of theirs.
"You see it's classmate Yun Hai. I heard that my younger brother and sister said that your parents are no longer there. Are you alone in the family now?"
Xiao Xiao nodded, her eyes filled with sadness. She has been alone in her two lifetimes. There are relatives in this life, but they are all unreliable.
When Xu Wenhui heard the smile on her face, she lost her life. According to what she said before, the child had a hard life, and her family was killed by her.
"That Yun Hai of my family is the youngest at home. He was spoiled by my father and I on weekdays. This is a big marriage, but we need to take care of it when the time comes. He is still young and still focuses on his studies. You are the only one left when your parents are not there. It's not easy either. I'm working in the hospital now, and I'll be promising in the future. At that time, many people will come to ask. As for my son Yunhai... forget him. The two of you have different family backgrounds. You are a smart child, you should understand our idea of being good parents and children."
Xiaoxiao raised her head sharply after hearing her words, what she meant was that she disliked her being an orphan without a family, and was not worthy of their Yunhai? She also asked them not to come back in the future, thinking of this she couldn't help but get angry.
"Auntie, although my parents are not here, but I go to work dignifiedly. If I don't steal or rob, why can't I be worthy of your son!"
"But you are an orphan without a parent, our family is different, and others will mention Yunhai in the future. Who is the wife, we have to say it, and you are the only one left in your family. Have you gone to someone to read your horoscope? Maybe there is something wrong with your horoscope, so you can't marry my son. now!"
He spoke very rudely and his tone was strong.
"What age is it now, you seem to be educated and still say such things, you are not afraid of being said to be spreading superstition, and I don't want to marry your son, please put a hundred peace of mind, your son It's very good, but I just don't like it!"
Xiaoxiao's words are also very tough, this person looks like a literate person, but his words are so uneducated, she taught her a lesson for the first time and slandered her so much. , Just because her parents died, do you say that her life is not worthy of her son!
Now even if Zhao Yunhai is good, she doesn't want to deal with him anymore, so she turns around and leaves.
Xu Wenhui was also angry, and she was also very angry when a girl like this said she didn't like her son.
Zhao Yunhai pushed his grandfather, only to find that Xiaoxiao had left.
"Mom, where's Xiaoxiao?"
Looking around, she didn't see anyone, so she didn't know where to go.
"Already gone, Yun Hai, that child's life is hard, and her parents are gone, so don't associate with a girl from such a family background, otherwise people will laugh at our Zhao family for finding such a terrible girl!"
Xu Wenhui couldn't help it . She complained about Xiaoxiao again, so she didn't have the quality to speak to an elder like her in such a tone, and she didn't look down on her son, which made her dislike that girl very much.
"Mom, how can you say that Xiaoxiao, her parents are already very pitiful, but she is very strong to work and support herself alone. You dislike such a good girl, no! I'm going to apologize to her!" Zhao Yun The sea wants to go.
"Stop!"
It was Grandpa Zhao Yunhai who spoke out. Although the old man was sixty years old, his voice was loud and clear, with a commanding tone in his words.
"Yunhai, don't hang out with such a girl anymore, our family is not an ordinary family, just like your mother said to marry such a girl, others will laugh at our family, and besides, that girl must have a life, or her parents are so young. It's gone, such a girl is unknown and not suitable for marrying back."
Zhao Yunhai was very dissatisfied, "Mom, grandpa, what age is it now, you still pay attention to these things. Originally, Xiaoxiao had a good impression on me, but she never accepted contact with me. I'm still grinding, and now I'm mixed up by you guys, Xiaoxiao. Xiao Na would agree to date me."
Xu Wenhui immediately taught her a lesson: "No, no, unless you are not my son, you don't want to marry that girl. Besides, I just said a few words and she has that attitude. I don't dare to ask her to be my daughter-in-law for such a disobedient girl. Your aunt still praises her. She is like that when she sees a real person. Son, listen to my mother. With our family background and your conditions, I'm afraid to find her. There's not a good girl."
"Mom, why are you doing this, no way! I have to go to Xiaoxiao to explain." After that, he ran away to chase after Xiaoxiao.
"Yunhai!" Xu Wenhui was angry, this son was really fascinated by that girl.
"Dad, look at Yunhai!"
"It's okay, as long as we don't agree to him, we don't want to marry that girl. Didn't you mean to work in your brother's hospital? It's okay to be fired!" The old man's eyes were more stern. "Teach that girl a lesson, let her know that Yunhai is someone she can't make friends with, and she won't dare to pester Yunhai in the future. Your younger brother and sister did not do this kindly. How could you introduce such a girl to Yunhai? I also praised how good that girl is, I didn't expect to be such a person."
Xu Wenhui was a little embarrassed, and now she had to excuse her siblings.
"Dad, she may not know her family background very well. I heard that the girl just went to work in the hospital for a month." Pushing a wheelchair, they both plan to go home when they encounter unhappy things.
After listening to the old man, he didn't say any more, taking care of his daughter-in-law's face and not scolding her younger sibling.
On the other side, Zhao Yunhai went to chase Xiaoxiao, but fortunately he caught up under the dormitory building.
Holding Xiao Xiao's arm, she panted and said anxiously with an apologetic expression on her face: "Xiao Xiao, I'm sorry, my mother is outspoken, if she says something that shouldn't be said, don't take it to heart, she is a knife mouth. Tofu Xin, people are actually very nice on weekdays."
Xiaoxiao stopped and didn't go any further, thinking that it would be better to make things clear.
"Yunhai, you are very good. In fact, it's not just because of your mother. I haven't planned to think about personal matters. Besides, there is only one left in my family. A big family like yours is really not suitable for me. I like simplicity. In a single life, there are not so many bad things in the family.
So we are not suitable. You will meet a more suitable girl in the future. It is good for us to cut off the relationship before we have really been in contact with each other. Your mother won't blame you anymore."
Chapter 65 Living Alone
Zhao Yunhai objected very excitedly, with a look of disapproval, "No, my mother is my mother, I am me, I like you, as for my mother, I will definitely persuade her to let her accept you, anyway, I have already It's decided that you won't marry in this life!"
Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at the boy in front of her for the first time seriously, one year older than her, and younger than her in her previous life, if it was Zhou Xiaoxiao in the past, she might listen I will be very touched by this speech. Two classmates of the same age know each other very well, and they seem to be very suitable. Maybe they will be tempted. It's a pity that she is a reborn Zhou Xiaoxiao. The cruel and ruthless reality has long made her realize that no matter what age, there will be some parents who like to pay attention to the marriage of the family background. It's a pity that her parents died early and she was left alone in the family. Some of the girls will find it hard to marry.
Even if Zhao Yunhai can convince his mother, she is not willing to make their mother-son relationship bad because of her. Besides, she still subconsciously feels that she and Yunhai are just friends, not the object of his development.
So he sighed and persuaded: "We don't communicate during this time. After all, that's your mother. Besides, we just happen to be young. We'll talk about our relationship later. Now it's more important to work hard and work hard."
She, her current mind is also on In terms of career, Yunhai is still studying.
"But Xiaoxiao, in case you're so good...you're taken away by someone else..." Zhao Yunhai said anxiously.
Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, with a sour face on her face, "I won't marry someone easily, because I like to live alone, maybe too many things have happened in a while, I don't want to live a life of looking at people's faces anymore."
"Xiao Xiao..." Zhao Yunhai opened his mouth and did not continue.
He understands that his mother must have said something very exaggerated today, so Xiaoxiao will talk to him like this, and he doesn't know what he wants to persuade Xiaoxiao to change her mind at this moment.
Xiaoxiao smiled and said indifferently: "I'm fine, this matter really has nothing to do with your mother, I have adjusted myself to the current situation, you can study hard in the future, and be a good doctor in the future."
He was only in his freshman year, but I still hope that he will focus on his studies. There is a shortage of doctors and medicines these days. One more doctor will help many people.
"Are we still friends?" Zhao Yunhai was very sad and asked without giving up.
"Of course it's a friend, but... I'd better avoid suspicion in the future. There are a lot of people here. It's not good if you go back quickly and be seen."
A few people looked over here. It was very clear that she didn't want to associate with him, and neither did his family, so it's better to meet less.
"Xiaoxiao..."
Zhao Yunhai watched Xiaoxiao leave, his eyes were full of sadness. After all, Xiaoxiao got along well with him, but suddenly met her mother, and she was directly rejected. Xiaoxiao was so arrogant. Mom said too much, and now she's so angry that she probably won't change her mind no matter how much he persuades him. It's better to wait for a while and come back to her...
Xiaoxiao ate her lunch gloomily, but didn't eat much.
When I remembered a previous life, there was a man who was interested in him and wanted to chase her, but his family didn't agree. The meaning was probably the same as Yun Hai's mother. She disliked her as an orphan and had no family background. Such a girl has no blessings and cannot be prosperous. , so their love blew up before it even started. Since then, Xiaoxiao has never believed in love, especially those who fell in love at first sight. She lived alone and was almost thirty years old, if not because of the explosion. , Maybe when she stayed in that world, she lived alone and alone. Every time she went to the festival, she would feel a little uncomfortable when she just watched the reunion of thousands of lights.
When I was feeling down, there was a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, he saw two acquaintances - Ye Qiaosheng and Zhao Lichen.
"What's the matter with the two of you?" They came over together, and they didn't see Zhao Lichen for half a month, so they probably didn't have a vacation.
Zhao Lichen said: "I know an old lady who has been feeling a little unwell recently, but she refuses to come to the hospital under any persuasion. I wondered if you could go there on vacation today and help her take a look."
Xiaoxiao tilted her head to look at him, "Why don't you come to the hospital? Some diseases, especially the internal organs of the five internal organs, do not need to be checked by machines and some tests are done. The disease may not be detected."
After all, Chinese medicine is still different from Western medicine, and some diseases use machines Check it out.
"This... But she is not seriously ill, but she is often ill for a long time. I am afraid that her condition will be serious. In addition, she is reluctant to go to the hospital because many of her family members died in the hospital, so she does not dare to come to the hospital again."
Zhao Lichen explained that if he could persuade her to go to the hospital, he would have persuaded her long ago, but unfortunately no one could persuade the old man to be stubborn.
When Xiao Xiao heard him say that the auntie's family members all died in the hospital, she understood why she did not dare to come to the hospital. After some people's close relatives passed away in the hospital, they would be very unhappy with the hospital and would be very resistant to it. Go to the hospital.
Thinking of this, she should come down: "Okay then, I'll go with you."
Besides, there's nothing left or right, so if you can help someone, go out, but the expression on her face is not serious.
Seeing the dull look on her face, Zhao Lichen thought she was sick, so he worried and asked, "Not feeling well... Are you sick?"
Xiaoxiao shook her head and just said, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."
"Why don't I take you there another day ?" , you have a good rest."
"It's fine, it's fine to go out and get some air, and what kind of illness the patient you said has been suffering from, it's not good for the illness to drag on for a long time, it just happens that I'm fine now, so I'll go and
take a look." took out the medicine cabinet and planned to go out with them.
Spring is a time when many diseases occur frequently, and she is afraid that some diseases will not be cured if they drag on for a long time.
Seeing her depressed look, Ye Qiaosheng secretly bumped Zhao Lichen with his arm, "I guess this girl has encountered some troubles, after she is done, you can accompany her to enlighten her more, it just so happens that you keep in touch with her for a longer time. After communication, she might have you in her heart."
Don't forget the idea of trying to match these two people at this time, don't look at Zhao Lichen's indifferent in front of people, but Ye Qiaosheng knows that he cares about Xiaoxiao, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of asking Xiaoxiao to see Aunt Lin, but he still knows him. As for other doctors, it's not as good as Dr. Lin, who treated his grandmother before. They are very familiar. If anyone in the Zhao family is sick, they will go to that doctor.
Xiaoxiao was carrying the medicine box on his back, but Zhao Lichen naturally picked it up and carried it on his back, even if the medicine box was missing, he didn't want Xiaoxiao to be tired.
This time, they didn't ride bicycles, but walked over. Zhao Lichen met Ye Qiaosheng before and asked him if he was okay and decided to go to Xiaoxiao.
Chapter 66 Strong Woman
The three of them went to Aunt Lin's house together, but it didn't take long for Xiaoxiao to feel annoyed that she didn't go to that place by car before, because they didn't get there after half an hour's walk, and the two big men had good physical strength. I went to sleep with Zhao Yunhai again in the morning, and now my feet hurt and I feel sleepy after walking so long.
God knows that she has never traveled such a long road in her previous life. There is a lot of traffic there. When you go out, you can either drive by yourself or have someone pick you up and walk for five minutes at most.
After walking for an hour, Xiao Xiao felt that she really had no physical strength to go any further. No matter how tough she was, she was still a woman. How could she be compared with two people who had been soldiers with abnormal physical strength.
Fortunately, when he reached the gate of a dilapidated courtyard house, Ye Qiaosheng grinned and said, "It's here, that's it."
Today, he didn't come out by bicycle, and it was a coincidence that he saw Zhao Lichen. He said he was going to help Aunt Lin's house, and agreed immediately. Then I just asked Xiao Xiao to help out too. I didn't expect that Xiao Xiao was really able to endure hardships. After walking such a long road, she didn't say a word of complaint on the road.
Xiaoxiao vomited in her heart, she would cry if she heard him say that, she was so tired that she didn't want to talk more.
Zhao Lichen glanced at Xiaoxiao and saw that she had a tired look on her face. She walked so far without complaining, which was very good. If it were her own sister Lijuan, she would have been screaming tired, and she would never let her eat again next time. This kind of suffering is also blamed for being greedy and wanting to walk around and talk to her so much that she didn't go to the car.
Pushing open the shabby wooden door, Ye Qiaosheng shouted in a familiar voice, "Auntie here? We're here!" A loud voice rang out in the courtyard.
Xiao Xiao looked at the house.
The house was a few years old, with blue-grey bricks on the floor, and patches of blue berry moss growing on the walls. The yard is not big, with a few pots of flowers and plants in the corners, but the whole yard has been cleaned up very cleanly and elegantly, and the smoke from the cooking is slowly wafting from the roof at this moment.
Sister-in-law Lin came out of the west wing. She had just boiled water in the west room, and when she heard her being called from outside, she came out from the stove in the kitchen.
He looks like he is in his fifties, with a blue scarf wrapped around his head, and he wears gray clothes and patches in his old age, but he looks very kind. follow them.
"Qiao Sheng and Lichen are here... Huh? There's another girl." Seeing Xiao Xiao standing behind.
"Auntie, she is our friend, come to see you together." Ye Qiaosheng said carelessly.
"Really, that's great, all of you are good children." The old man looked at Xiaoxiao with a smile, just like an elder looked kindly at the younger children. "You and Lichen are already old, so we need to hurry up and find someone."
Ye Qiaosheng curled his lips and felt helpless, "Auntie, you also know the situation in my family, there are four younger brothers and sisters below, plus my sister now. One leg is crippled, how could a daughter from a good family want to marry me."
There was a hint of disappointment on his face, he and Zhao Lichen were young, but their families were far from each other, his father also went to serve in the army, However, he was injured in a battle and saved his life. After that, his health was so bad that he could no longer stay in the army and returned home after demobilization. His family later moved out of the military compound and many people lost contact with his family. Only Zhao Lichen didn't look down on him and continued to communicate with him.
Xiaoxiao didn't expect that this person's family turned out to be like this. He hadn't heard Zhao Lichen talk about his family before, and only knew that Ye Qiaosheng's family had many younger siblings and the situation was not very good.
Ye Qiaosheng laughed at himself and said that he was afraid of making the atmosphere cold, so he said: "Auntie, I heard that your roof is broken, so we will come to repair it. There will be more rain in the spring, so if we don't repair it, we will be afraid that water will leak into the house."
Aunt Lin nodded, these two are very busy people, and they came to see her basically to help her with things, and they didn't dare to waste their time.
Pointing to a corner of the yard, he said, "There are still a few good tiles, you can just replace the broken ones."
Zhao Lichen nodded and swept the yard to find a small bucket, and Aunt Wen took out some lime powder from the house. After mixing the soil, Ye Qiaosheng took out the ladder from the back room.
Two big men repaired the broken tiles. Because the house is old, green moss has grown on the eaves, and the tiles are broken a lot. It is estimated that it will take them a while to repair.
Xiaoxiao and Aunt Lin watched them work in the courtyard while chatting and waiting to see a doctor. This was also her purpose.
She knew from her words that she used to be a military sister-in-law, but her husband and son died for the country one after another, leaving only the old man to live here alone. Her son and Zhao Lichen were comrades-in-arms, and Ye Qiaosheng was also a good friend. People often go out together, but unfortunately now Zhao Lichen is alone in the army.
Ye Qiaosheng also served in the army before, but when his father was injured, his mother was not in good health, and there were four younger brothers and sisters at home, so there was no way to retire and come back to take care of the family.
Xiaoxiao saw Auntie coughing from time to time, and then looked at her sallow complexion and said, "Auntie, are you not feeling well?"
Thinking that Zhao Lichen called her here to see Aunt Lin.
The aunt shook her head, with some sadness in her eyes, "It's an old problem, it happens every spring, and it will naturally get better when the weather warms up in March." No one will care if
a person is sick, and she doesn't worry about it year after year. Are you sick.
After listening to Xiao Xiao, she guessed that she might have chronic bronchitis, a long-term cough accompanied by wheezing and repeated attacks. Each attack occurs for more than a month in winter, and it will be relieved after the warm weather in spring.
"Auntie, I will teach you some medical skills. I'll show you when you go in, okay?" There was concern in the voice. There was no one in the family for a woman, and she was a family that made contributions to the country. This woman was very strong and open-minded. Ordinary women may not be able to endure it or leave here to go elsewhere, but I heard the old man say that she will always stay here. This is where their family once lived. She guards this house like a husband and children. In general, until the last moment of her life.
Aunt Lin looked at her with a little surprise, seeing that she was young, but she actually knew how to practice medicine. There is a shortage of doctors and medicines these days.
"Wazi is really amazing! She will see a doctor, but I have an old problem, it doesn't matter." Subconsciously refused, not wanting to see a doctor, she was a little scared when she thought of being sick.
"Auntie, I'm just blind, thinking if I can help, and Lichen called me over today, they are all worried about your health, they said that you don't want to go to the hospital, so they called me over, you can't let me come over. I'll run for nothing, and besides, I'm just checking, I don't think your illness is serious, but it will be bad if you drag it on." Xiao Xiao persuaded, and then carried the medicine box and planned to help Aunt Lin into the house go.
Cahpter 67 Healing
Aunt Lin thought that people would come to see her in person, and it would not be good to refuse at this moment. After all, these children were all thinking of her. I don't expect her illness to be cured. Besides, Xiaoxiao is so young, it is impossible for her medical skills to improve. Since she wants to see it, let her see it.
After entering the house, I took the pulse of my aunt, and then took out a small stethoscope and heard some wheezing sounds inside. It really was chronic bronchitis, and the cough was caused by internal injury and dysfunction of the viscera.
"Auntie, I'm going to give you acupuncture treatment now, and then give you medicine, okay?" Xiaoxiao asked cautiously, for fear that Auntie wouldn't treat the disease and wouldn't believe in her medical skills.
Aunt Lin didn't say anything. When Xiao Xiao saw her, she agreed to treat her.
Take out the small box containing various needles and take out the filigree needles.
First, puncture the Feishu on the back of the aunt, then puncture Taiyuan on the wrist, and finally puncture the inner side of the calf. The needles are kept for five minutes each, and the acupuncture is performed again.
After the needle was pierced, Aunt Lin obviously felt that her chest was less stuffy and blocked, and she didn't breathe so much. Li Chen's future daughter-in-law was really amazing.
Xiaoxiao put away the needles, and then said to Aunt Wen, "Auntie, just sticking the needles is not enough. I'll prescribe a few medicines for you. Do you have any paper and pen here?"
"Yes, wait for me. I'll go in and get it."
I'm very happy, but I didn't expect that the disease has been dragging on for a few years. In the past, it relapsed after a long time after taking medicine. Now I try to treat this girl, maybe it will be cured. Woolen cloth.
When Aunt Lin took out the paper and pen, these things were bought when her son was there, otherwise she wouldn't be able to use them because she didn't know how to read.
Xiaoxiao took a pencil and wrote down the prescription, and what kind of medicine should be written clearly and how much to eat.
Seeing that Aunt Lin's house is in ruins and not very wealthy, the family may not have much money, a woman has lost her husband and son, and the pension army given by the state does not know whether it will be enough to spend, or she should go to the space to get her medicine, and she will save a fortune. Money, and two flavors are very scarce, I am afraid that there are not so many now, and it may not be sold in general pharmacies.
"Auntie, I'll go out and get you some medicine." When I came here, I saw a pharmacy not far from Qian Street. Of course, this was just an excuse made by Xiao Xiao.
"Don't, child, auntie wait and go by yourself."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qing Huan had already run away.
I ran outside and found a remote place where no one passed by, and then chanted a spell on the bracelet, the person approached the space, and the medicine store in the space went to dispense medicine.
She came out in no time.
Aunt Lin was afraid that the time was too short to suspect, so she walked around in a circle before going back.
When she walked to the main room, Aunt Lin was still waiting for her there.
"Auntie, this is three courses of twelve medicines. Drink one in the morning and one in the evening. Also, you should wear more resting clothes. The temperature is still very cold in the cold spring."
Aunt Lin said excitedly, "It's really bothering you. This child, right! I have to give you how much this medicine costs." After speaking, he went to his pocket.
Seeing her like that, Xiaoxiao hurriedly stopped: "Don't give it, auntie, it doesn't cost a lot of money, it's all cheap Chinese herbal medicines, but the effect is not bad, you should eat it first and see, if it's good, stop the medicine, there's no good medicine. You keep it, and then you go to the pharmacy to get the medicine." It
doesn't matter if the two missing medicines are not available later.
That said, but Aunt Lin insisted on giving it, and Xiao Xiao refused to accept it. Just between the two of them, Zhao Lichen and Ye Qiao climbed down the ladder from the roof.
Xiaoxiao said again: "Aunt, it really doesn't cost a lot of money without the use of medicines."
Zhao Lichen came in after finishing his work.
"What's wrong?"
Xiaoxiao shook her head immediately, "No, Auntie wants to give me money for medicine, I won't let it, I'm just doing a little favor."
"Really... Then don't take it. In fact, half of my aunt's food is donated to After leaving the orphanage, I usually go to the orphanage to help."
It means that she often does good deeds, so she is not rich, and if the medicine is not expensive, she cannot receive her money.
"Orphanage?" Xiao Xiao was surprised and felt a little bitter in her heart. She was an orphan in her previous life, and was later brought back by the organization for training.
Zhao Lichen didn't notice the slight change in her expression, so he said to himself: "Auntie is a very good person. Her son is gone, so she usually goes to the orphanage to help take care of the child in her spare time. Her children are treated as her own. In fact, the pension and food given to her by the state are enough for her, and if she hadn't donated half of it to the orphanage, her life would not have been so poor."
Xiao Xiao admired after hearing this: "Auntie, you are such a good person."
Zhao Lichen stared at her quietly, with a bit of confusion over his eyes.
Aunt Lin shook her head and smiled bitterly, "It's nothing, baby, since you don't want to receive money for medicine, then I'll go in and get you some mountain goods. Those were given by others. I can't bite my teeth. Eat it as a snack." After saying that, he walked to the next room.
Xiaoxiao didn't stop her this time, knowing that if she didn't give her something, she would feel sorry for her.
Standing next to her, Zhao Lichen said: "Being a military wife is not easy, and it is a great role if you are not good at it. Otherwise, it would not be said that the military medal of the military has half of the wife's wife. The wife of a military must not only overcome the lack of separation from her lover, but be willing to do so. Waiting, but also bear the burden of the family, become a woman who is responsible, tenacious and forbearing, and loves life."
After finishing speaking, she looked at her firmly.
These words also seem to be telling her that if the person she wants to marry is a soldier in the future, her life may be the same. I don't know if she is frightened. I want to know what she thinks, in case she doesn't want to be a military sister-in-law. Then he won't chase after her after letting go.
Xiaoxiao realized after listening to it, is this guy trying to remind her of her thoughts? Being a military sister-in-law is very honorable, but the process requires a lot of effort. She also feels that military sister-in-law is not easy, and life is often hard, especially when she When the other half is out on a mission, he will be worried in his heart. Once in danger, just like Aunt Lin, her husband and son are gone, so she is left to live alone.
It's just that it doesn't matter how hard she works. She didn't say she wanted to marry him. Did he misunderstand and think she likes him, but it's not like that, he never said that he liked her. At present, he and Ye Qiaosheng are the few of her. Many friends, it is estimated that she thinks too much.
So he said gently: "Yes, it's not easy for a military sister-in-law, so you have to treat your other half well in the future!"
Zhao Lichen's heart that was a little nervous immediately put down, looking at the girl's sparkling eyes under the sunset, he There was a smile on the corner of his mouth. If his spouse was Xiao Xiao, he would definitely treat her well and wouldn't let her work as hard as Aunt Lin.
After washing his hands, Ye Qiaosheng walked over to them, looked at them, and then teased with his eyebrows raised, "Hmmm... I said you two kept talking non-stop, are you finished now?"
Chapter 68 Going to the Orphanage
Xiaoxiao didn't know why he said that, with a little embarrassment on his face, they just said a few words and it didn't matter.
Aunt Lin came out and took a packet of dried fruits such as peanuts and red dates and stuffed it into Xiaoxiao's hands.
"Wa'er, I'll give you these things. I'm old and my teeth are not good, so don't dislike it."
Xiaoxiao took it and said sincerely: "Aunt, I won't dislike it. Remember to take medicine, I will take it in a week. I will come over for a re-examination, and remember to keep warm on weekdays, and don't get cold again."
This kind of body is afraid that the condition will worsen if you get cold again, and even if you get older, you will not recover so quickly even with treatment.
After hearing that, Aunt Lin grabbed Xiaoxiao's hand, and was very moved. This is a really good boy. It would be nice if she was her daughter, but unfortunately she can't drag such a good girl down.
The three left Aunt Lin's house, but Xiao Xiao didn't want to go back immediately.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Lichen asked strangely, watching her standing suddenly and not walking away.
"The orphanage you mentioned earlier... Can I go and have a look?"
She didn't know why the word 'orphanage' made her heart hurt. She stayed there for seven years, and was later picked up by the organization to train her. .
"You want to go..." Zhao Lichen didn't say anything. Seeing the sadness in her eyes, she didn't know where she was going at this time. Could it be because her parents passed away and she became an orphan?
Look at the sun and take her there while it's still early.
Ye Qiaosheng didn't say anything else. He hadn't been there for a while, so he followed along.
The orphanage is not far, just across a street.
When Xiaoxiao saw it, she found that this place was only a little better than the Zhou family's old house. The one that could barely live in people was also messy inside, probably because there were many children.
The children were playing in the yard, and their bodies were basically dirty. They were all skinny and wearing tattered and patched clothes. There were a few children who didn't wear shoes on such a cold day. Their bare feet were red from the cold. I feel sorry for them.
Xiaoxiao looked sad, with more compassion in her eyes. Even though she was in the Li family in the countryside at the time, the children in the countryside were not so pitiful, let alone the orphanage where she stayed in her previous life. Even if the conditions were poor, the conditions were not very good, but they were not as pitiful as the children here.
"The dean here has a good heart and took in these children, otherwise they would have nowhere to go. A few years ago, many people starved to death outside the natural disaster, and the situation has been better in the past two years. Aunt Lin put her food They can all come here to raise their children, and Qiao Sheng and I will also help, but sometimes many children cannot be taken care of, and one died of illness last week. In fact, some of them have no physical problems, but their parents' home Too many children can't afford to support them, so they throw them away when they are born, and the dean takes them back and raises them when he looks pitiful."
Zhao Lichen said with some sadness, there are more poor people in the countryside, especially if the birth is a girl, the family already has Several children are more likely to be abandoned that way.
When Xiao Xiao heard this, she remembered her previous life. She had no physical problems at all, but her mother secretly abandoned her at the gate of the orphanage a few days after she gave birth.
So she decided: "I will treat the sick children here in the future, and I will help take care of the children when I have time."
Anyway, when she has nothing to do on weekdays, she might as well come out and help the children in need. She also came out of the orphanage before, and she understands that there are many children in it who need to be cared for. Some of them came out and
Zhao Lichen looked at her with more admiration in his eyes. Sure enough, she is not an ordinary girl, she is kind and brave, and she is very considerate of others.
So Xiaoxiao went to the dean, donated a sum of money to her, and then told her that she would treat the children here for free. The dean was very excited after hearing this. If you are sick, eat some local recipes, or you can ask the old doctor in the pharmacy to see it, but how can there be so much money for children to see? The dean immediately called the children to thank Xiao Xiao.
Originally, because Zhao Yunhai's mother Xu Wenhui said such sarcastic words to her in the morning, she was sulking, but now nothing disappeared. Xiaoxiao wondered why she was pessimistic. She worked hard to live and helped those in need. Living hard without stealing or robbing her, no matter what the predicament is, she can't be troubled by any difficulties. Is it just because she doesn't have parents that she can be looked down upon, or inferior to others!
She doesn't want to live with grievances, just like now, she has The ability to do good deeds helped these children, she felt very good, and she felt that her life was very valuable...
Then she treated several children who were not in good health, and secretly took medicine from the space for them to eat, and told the hospital Chang said that she would come over when she was not at work and had a rest, or if there was a sick child in the hospital, she could go to the People's Hospital to find her.
When I'm busy, it's getting dark.
When they came out, Zhao Lichen said to her and Ye Qiaosheng, "Go! Let's go to dinner!"
"Okay, it's rare for a stingy person to treat a guest, so let's make a few more dishes." I've had a full meal, and the food at home has been so bad recently that I don't even want to eat pigs.
Zhao Lichen glared at him, shook his head, and walked to a nearby small restaurant to eat.
I ordered scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a plate of shredded potatoes, a large bowl of hot and sour soup, and a large plate of steamed buns, enough for the three of them. Ye Qiaosheng asked Zhao Lichen to buy some wine again, but fortunately Zhao Lichen had a wine ticket to exchange, so he bought two pounds of Erguotou.
"Come on, Xiaoxiao also have a drink."
Ye Qiaosheng poured a cup for Xiaoxiao too.
"Don't give her a drink." Zhao Lichen stopped him, but Ye Qiaosheng had already poured Xiaoxiao's cup.
"It's okay, I can drink." Xiaoxiao said.
She was an alcoholic in her previous life, especially when it comes to the holidays and New Years, when she's alone, she doesn't want to go anywhere, she just stays at home to drink, because she's envious when she goes out to see that every household is reunited to eat and chat, she is an orphan She has no family, so she can only spend the festival by herself, so she can drink wine very well.
After taking a sip, a mellow fragrance overflowed in the mouth. Although the degree was high, it was not strong, and it was very pure and had no unpleasant smell. Xiaoxiao had never drunk such wine in her previous life. She never thought that such an ordinary wine would taste so good.
So a small cup immediately went into her stomach, and she automatically poured another cup to drink.
Zhao Lichen was talking to Ye Qiaosheng about his sister looking for a job. Before, Ye Qiaosheng asked him to help his sister find a job. Some of the ones he found were not good, and his reluctant sister went to those places to endure hardship. Zhao Lichen knew more people than him, so he asked someone to help Ye Qiaosheng once.
Chapter 69 Drunk
"I asked someone to let your sister go to work in a spinning mill, but in the past she could only work as a temporary worker, and she could become a regular when she performed well. If your sister also goes to work, you will be able to relax in the future."
Zhao Lichen said, but his eyes But he has been paying attention to Xiao Xiao.
Ye Qiaosheng's family relied on him to work in a steel factory by himself to support a large family. Fortunately, his father had some retirement salary, but three of them had to study before the family, and his mother was not in good health and had to take medicine all year round. One leg, now has a younger sister who is seventeen years old. She doesn't want to go to college, so she wants to go out to work. Ye Qiaosheng sees that this younger sister's usual grades are generally not suitable for studying, so she agrees to work. It's just that it's hard to think of working in the factory these days, so He asked Zhao Lichen to help him, but luckily he found it. Although it was a temporary worker, it would be great to be able to go in, and he would have a chance to become a regular in the future.
"Thank you, it's not bad. My mother's job has been accepted by me. Now that my sister has a job, the family will be better, and—"
Zhao Lichen interrupted before he finished speaking.
"Stop drinking, you'll get drunk if you drink again." The words were said to Xiao Xiao.
Seeing that Xiaoxiao had already drank three glasses, Zhao Lichen was afraid that she would be drunk and would not let her continue drinking. He didn't expect a girl to love drinking so much, Zhao Lichen frowned.
"It's okay, I'm good at drinking, and I'm not very drunk, you guys can talk about it."
Xiao Xiao waved his hand, then ignored him and continued to pour another glass.
Seeing that she was drinking, Zhao Lichen really looked like she knew how to drink, so he didn't care about her anymore. I heard that some girls in the countryside drink better than men. This girl is not like that, and she doesn't know how to do housework and even meals. She doesn't even know how to cook, she 's still an alcoholic, but her medical skills are very good and kind. She's a complicated and multi-faceted girl...
So she continued to talk to Ye Qiaosheng regardless.
Just after Xiaoxiao continued to drink two more glasses, she felt a little dizzy, and the things in front of her gradually became blurred. She won't get drunk after only half a catty of wine, right? In the past, regardless of red wine, white wine, beer, and various wines, she would never get drunk easily. Could it be that she changed her body, so that's why?
Zhao Lichen next to her saw that her face was red and her eyes were half-squinted and blurred. At first glance, she looked like she was drunk.
Hold his forehead! How could he just believe what this woman said.
Ye Qiaosheng also saw Xiaoxiao's drunken appearance, and laughed hehely: "This Xiaoxiao is drunk after drinking a lot. Lichen, we have almost eaten, so you should send her back quickly.
" It was an hour away, and there was no last bus. Ye Qiaosheng thought that Xiaoxiao had drunk so much that Lichen would take her to a hotel.
In this way, the two will not have the opportunity to get together.
It's just that Zhao Lichen's brows are twisted up. This is also called a good drinker. The drinker is very good. Now she is drunk and lying on the table, but she looks drunk, Zhao Lichen is not willing to let others look at her.
After going to pay the bill, he walked over to her and helped her up.
"Then let's go first."
"Let's go, take good care of her." Ye Qiaosheng told him maliciously.
Zhao Lichen gave him a stare.
The man with a dark face helped Xiaoxiao out.
Xiaoxiao walked staggeringly, if it wasn't for Zhao Lichen to support her, she would have fallen to the ground long ago.
I don't know if it was because of drinking, Xiaoxiao's head was very dizzy and she became confused.
Pointing at Zhao Lichen, he started talking nonsense.
"Zhao Lichen, I think you are a good person...it's just that your mouth is too stinky...sometimes your words are too ugly. No wonder that Xiaofang doesn't want to marry you..."
"What did you say?"
He listened to what she muttered later. It's not very clear why he doesn't want to marry him, nor does he want to marry the real Li Xiaofang.
Xiaoxiao stared at him with drunken eyes, but she couldn't see clearly.
"Hehe, I'm actually very uncomfortable this morning. Mother Yunhai... That woman is so hateful. She said that my parents died and they wouldn't let me interact with Yunhai."
Zhao Lichen frowned after hearing this. No wonder he was looking for her at noon. She looks gloomy, does she really like Yunhai? I was a little annoyed.
"Why do you want to associate with him!"
Xiaoxiao didn't look at him, and said to herself: "I refused...but his mother thought I liked Yunhai, and said that I was forcibly disgusted that there was no one in my family, hehe! My family is like this, even if I am alone, but I have a better life than many people, why should I feel inferior, hehe, it's funny! Don't you know... I used to be an orphan—"
"I used to be an orphan? "
Zhao Lichen is puzzled, why did her parents say she was an orphan before her parents died a few months ago? Did her parents treat her badly and let her live like an orphan? It seems unlikely, just a daughter, she can't be spoiled.
Xiao Xiao giggled.
"When I saw those children today, it seemed like I saw myself in the past... But I'm doing well now... So I'm not sad at all..." Before he
finished speaking, his stomach rolled, and he felt very uncomfortable.
"Are you going to vomit, wait, let's go to the side
of the road—" Before she could finish, Xiao Xiao had already vomited, and half of it was on Zhao Lichen's coat, Zhao Lichen's face darkened immediately.
Pulled her to the side of the road to make her vomit enough at a time, then took off her overcoat, shook it vigorously, and finally didn't want to wear it again, even though it was cold at night.
After Xiaoxiao vomited, she felt that no one had any strength, so she sat on the ground.
Zhao Lichen looked at her, just heard what he said about orphans, but thinking about her parents passed away, she really looks like an orphan now, and when Yunhai's mother said this to her, she felt uncomfortable, and she was only gloomy and sad before. .
"Let's go!" Zhao Lichen came over and pulled her up, and put on her coat unkindly. Anyway, this drunkard is full of alcohol all over his body now, and he is afraid that she will be cold.
"I can't walk anymore, you carry me." After saying that, he sat on the ground and didn't want to move, and he was full of shame.
"Hey! Stand up for me!" looked at her speechlessly.
It's just that Xiaoxiao was pulled up and spread out to sit down. Zhao Lichen's face turned black, and he really regretted letting this girl drink. In the end, he squatted down and carried her back like he accepted his fate. Ever since he met this idiot, his hard life began. But thinking about her being a poor girl, she was actually disliked by Yunhai's mother, but she just felt that this was not better, Yunhai would not chase her in the future, and the little bit of anger in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace... ...
Xiao was lying on Zhao Lichen's back, only feeling very warm and comfortable, with a wide back, Xiao Xiao was lying on her back and looked at the things around her, her eyes blurred, not knowing whether it was in reality or in a dream.
Under the dim streetlights, only a few pedestrians passed by occasionally. Although they would look over and see Zhao Lichen carrying her, but if they smelled the stench of wine, they knew that the girl was drunk and no one would talk about it. Although it was a little more open these days, But on the street, men will still be said to carry women behind their backs.
Chapter 70 Stay
Zhao Lichen walked step by step with Xiaoxiao on his back. Although he didn't wear a jacket, he didn't feel cold when he carried it on his back. Xiaoxiao was very light, so he didn't feel tired even after carrying a long distance.
Xiaoxiao is behind him, her eyes are hazy looking ahead, she suddenly wanted to sing on the quiet street, so she hummed softly...
Winter is gone, spring is here, the feelings have not dissolved, the cold wind is still there , The flowers haven't bloomed yet, who can understand, what is left of the broken dream... The
voice is full of sadness, as if there is a story hidden in it, the clear singing voice is very abrupt at night, but it is also very nice. Zhao Lichen didn't know that Xiaoxiao was born with a good singing voice. He listened to her singing seriously. On the street covered by night, it seemed that only her singing lingered in his ears.
Just listening to it, he found that he had never heard this song, and the tune was also very unfamiliar. He was a soldier, and the army sang songs of the army, but there are no such bold songs that are popular outside, this girl Where did you learn it?
Although he had doubts, he didn't interrupt her singing, and there were no one on the street now, and he didn't worry that others would hear her, instead he thought Xiaoxiao's singing was very good.
Xiaoxiao fell asleep after singing, but Zhao Lichen saw that she was not singing and looked back to see that she was asleep, her eyes were closed, she wondered if she was dreaming, and the corners of her mouth moved slightly.
In the quiet night, under the dim streetlights, Zhao Lichen sighed and walked back to her dormitory step by step, as if resigned.
Went to the door of her dormitory, put her down, took out the key from her coat pocket, opened the door, and helped her into the house.
She took off her coat and her own coat that was dirty from her vomit, took off her shoes and carried her to her bed.
When I caught a glimpse of a big puppet sewn on her bed, the corners of my mouth twitched slightly. She was such a big man that she could sleep with a puppet every day, but this puppet was so delicate that it seemed that she had never seen it in a shopping mall. Maybe he didn't care about it on weekdays. I haven't seen anything like this.
Covered her with a quilt, and then wetted her with a towel and carefully wiped her face so that she could sleep more comfortably.
Looking at Xiao Xiao who was sleeping soundly at the moment, Zhao Lichen slowly leaned down and gently placed a kiss on her forehead.
Just looking at her pink mouth when he was about to leave her face, he couldn't help wanting to kiss her, but fortunately, Zhao Lichen stopped immediately, straightened up and annoyed himself.
He's being frivolous, and doing such a thing while she's asleep is really disgusting, and he even looks down on himself.
When he calmed down, he quickly got out of the bed and went to wash the coats of the two of them. They all smelled of alcohol and were spit out by him.
After washing and hanging his clothes, he was about to leave, but he heard a loud noise next door. When he went out, he saw that the door next door was open, and there were a group of men drinking, and then looked back at Xiaoxiao's dormitory.
After drinking like that, I really don't worry about her sleeping in the dormitory alone. In case someone sneaks in, the door of this dormitory is not very safe at all, and if the person next door is drunk and makes trouble in the middle of the night, it is also very dangerous.
After hesitating again and again, he stayed. Xiaoxiao slept on the bed. He found a quilt and put it on the chair. He just dealt with it for one night.
It's just that the noise next door was very late. It seemed that someone had a birthday next door. The noise caused Zhao Lichen to close his eyes and fall asleep very late. Fortunately, Xiaoxiao was drunk and slept on the bed obediently without being disturbed.
The next day, when it was just dawn, Xiaoxiao woke up. To be precise, she was woken up by a soak of urine. She rushed to the toilet and came out.
"Why are you here?" This is her dormitory, why is this person here, looking at the watch on his wrist, it's only past six o'clock in the morning.
Zhao Lichen woke up when she shouted like this. To be precise, he didn't really fall asleep all night. In the first half of the night, he couldn't sleep because of the noise from the next door. In the second half of the night, it got colder and colder. Change positions but can't sleep.
"Wake up? That's good, I have to go back too."
I stood up, but what I saw in front of me seemed to be moving, my head felt a little dizzy, and I sneezed after speaking.
Folded the quilt and handed it to Xiao Xiao.
It was only at this time that Xiao Xiao remembered that she seemed to be drunk after drinking last night.
"Did you bring me back? Why don't you go home..."
Zhao Lichen glanced at her and said angrily, "A lot of people were drinking next door last night. I don't worry about you living here alone as a girl.
" That's right, Xiaoxiao's heart didn't know why there was warmth flowing through him. He was thinking of her safety. No one had ever cared about her like this.
"Thank you!"
"No, didn't you help me see Aunt Lin yesterday to treat her, but I'm not at work today, so I'll buy some breakfast nearby." After that, she sneezed again.
"Don't you have a cold?" After speaking, he came over and put his hand on his forehead. "It's a little hot, I have a cold." Then he saw that he was not wearing a coat. The blanket just now was very thin, and it was only a few degrees at night. I sat like this all night and slept all night, it's no wonder I didn't catch a cold, my lips were still peeling, and my complexion was a little worse.
"It's still early, you don't have to be so early for work. You have a cold. I'll cook you a bowl of ginger soup later."
I wanted to get him the cold medicine directly, but there is no such cold medicine these days, and then I think he has a cold. You don't need to take medicine, it's a three-point poisonous medicine, try not to take it if you can.
Xiaoxiao boiled a rich bowl of ginger soup, which also smelled of brown sugar. Drinking ginger soup can drive away cold and treat colds and colds.
Zhao Lichen took it and drank it directly. After drinking the ginger soup, his body felt warm.
"Do you know how to cook?"
He was a little surprised if there was ginger at home and he would still make ginger soup.
Xiaoxiao scratched her head, "I was at your house before, and my aunt taught me some things, but now I can only cook simple things. I usually eat them in the cafeteria."
After hearing this, Zhao Lichen joked: "Yes, if you can cook, you can get married!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help thinking that he had mocked her before, and he glared at him, "Hmph. Now that I can cook, I don't want to get married!"
Zhao Lichen felt that since he was talking about marriage, he wanted to talk about Yunhai.
"Did you run into Yunhai's mother yesterday?"
"How do you know?" Xiaoxiao frowned, she was surprised that she was drunk and said things that shouldn't be said.
"I heard you nagging a few words last night."
Xiao Xiao helped her forehead, and she really said it when she was drunk.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Lichen persuaded: "You are very good, you are a capable doctor, and you have helped a lot of people. Even if you are like that in your family, you are better than many people. If nothing else, you are better than my sister. Lijuan, besides her family background is better than yours, Lijuan is better than you."
Take her sister out to make her feel more confident, and she is not ashamed of her own sister being used at this time.
