After confirming that Xiao Le was just asleep and not dead, the couple wiped off the blood lightly, and then closed the door, wiping the tears still hanging on their faces while feeling a little sad.

"Fortunately, it's okay."

Half a moment later, Mrs. Xiao said dryly.

To be honest, it's a bit embarrassing, nothing happened to them, but they felt like they were really gone, and they were always a little ashamed.

"Yeah, it's fine, it's fine."

Brother Xiao is even more dry than sister-in-law Xiao.

After all, he is such an old man, he has never cried in front of his wife and children, but just now he cried harder than a little girl.

What a shame.

"Would you like to invite Doctor Wu to come and take a look?"

Mrs. Xiao didn't mention the man crying just now, Brother Xiao was very grateful, and then nodded, "I'll go ask Dr. Wu, you should be careful at home, in case something happens, let Shuang'er come to me."

"Hey," Mrs. Xiao nodded.

As soon as brother Xiao left, sister-in-law Xiao entered Xiao Shuang's room.

Originally, Xiao Shuang didn't have a room of his own, but now that he's grown up, he still has a small bed in his parents' room.

Because he was afraid that if he lived in the original owner's room, the original owner would not be able to rest because of the noise, so he lived with his parents all the time.

Xiao Shuang didn't move into their room until Xiao's parents passed away.

At this time, Xiao Shuang was sitting in front of the wooden table that Boss Xiao made for him, holding a booklet that he copied out by himself in both hands, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"You also heard what your second uncle said just now." Looking at her son's back, Mrs. Xiao pursed her lips and said softly, "When this person feels that he is about to fail, he always speaks the truth. It can be seen that your second uncle I am thinking of you, and I am really afraid that something will happen to you and you will end up like him."

Xiao Shuang didn't speak, and didn't look back, but his hand holding onto the booklet became tighter.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao didn't talk too much in the past, but said, "Your father and I are also afraid if you drop out of school. How can we poor people fight against those powerful and powerful? You are the only one who learns well, which makes people hate you." , me and your father are very scared..."

"The dream your uncle had was just an introduction. Your father and I thought about it and didn't dare to let you go. Now that your uncle asks us so much, I'm still a little worried."

"I'm not afraid."

Xiao Shuang turned around, her thin face was full of seriousness, "I'm not afraid."

Mrs. Xiao's eyes were red again. They only thought about themselves, but never thought about their children. "We must all feel at ease after all."

Disappointment flashed in Xiao's eyes.

"Let's change to a private school, shall we? There is a private school in the next village. The teacher is an old scholar, but the students are all ordinary people's children. Let's go there, okay?"

The private school that the patriarch let go really made them afraid to send it again.

"As long as I can continue to study, I am willing to go anywhere! Thank you, mother!"

Xiao Shuang got up excitedly and said repeatedly.

"Stupid child," Aunt Xiao also smiled, "Then you have to be filial to your second uncle in the future."

"I will!" Xiao Shuang pursed her lips, and said in a low voice under Aunt Xiao's gentle gaze, "Second Uncle, he is actually not a bad person."

If Xiao Le heard this, he wished to beat up the family of three idiots.

Let them know the dangers of society!

Not long after Dr. Wu went back, he was invited to Xiao's house again.

After taking the pulse, Dr. Wu frowned, "The pulse is still the same as before."

Boss Xiao and his wife frowned.

"Anyway... time is running out," Doctor Wu sighed softly, "What you just said may be a phenomenon of flashbacks, sorry."

After finishing speaking, he didn't talk about money this time, and left with the medicine box.

A family of three stood in the yard with sad faces, without saying a word.

Xiao Shuang felt that his heart was very heavy.

And Xiao Le, who woke up in the evening, opened his eyes, and saw his skinny nephew, sitting on a small stool with a bowl of steaming medicine, guarding him.

"Shuanger?"

Smelling the stinky smell of medicine, Xiao Le called Xiao Shuang tremblingly, his voice was very low, and his whole face was still so pale.

Seeing that the spirit is also very weak.

Seeing him wake up, Xiao Shuang first rushed out the door to call his parents, then leaned forward, "Second Uncle, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Oh my god, this attitude is really good, Xiao Le sighed in his heart, look, how deceitful this kid is.

It's no wonder that the original owner is always creating crises, and this child can also be tricked.

"what?"

Xiao Le's face was weak, he really didn't pretend, he was feeling weak all over.

Seeing his blank face, it can be seen that he is not feeling well all over. Xiao Shuang pursed his lips, and at this time Boss Xiao also entered the room, and asked Xiao Le if he was in good spirits. back.

Thinking of what Dr. Wu said again, my heart was very depressed, and I helped him up very gently with my hands, looking at my generous shoulders, and asked my son to feed Xiao Le the medicine.

"I-I'll come by myself."

Xiao Le was very persistent.

"I'll take it, Second Uncle, you can scoop it up and drink it yourself."

Afraid that after rejecting him, he would get emotional and cough up blood, so Xiao Shuang retreated.

Hearing this, Boss Xiao looked at his son with relief.

Under this gaze, Xiao Shuang straightened his back suddenly, as if he was already a recognized adult.

Xiao Le nodded when he heard the words, and then, in the eyes of the father and son, tremblingly drank the medicine with a wooden spoon, shaking his pale and thin hands.

This medicine, it's the best when you take a sip, and it's like tasting how bitter and unpalatable this medicine is.

So Xiao Le, who just drank a spoonful, began to retch.

Boss Xiao was so frightened that he hurriedly gave him a break.

Just like that, Xiao Le's head was covered in cold sweat, making it even more uncomfortable to watch, but he himself just felt that he didn't have any strength in his body, and the medicine smelled a bit too much.

So when Boss Xiao and Xiao Shuang were so nervous that they were going to die, Xiao Le asked Boss Xiao to straighten himself up, then held the medicine bowl with both hands, and swallowed the medicine in one gulp.

"bitter."

Xiao Le, who was stuffed with drugs, had a wrinkled fair face, looking very pitiful.

Without saying a word, Xiao Shuang went to the kitchen and poured a bowl of warm water for Xiao Le to drink.

"It's much better, Shuang'er is so nice," Xiao Le lay down slowly, praising her with a comfortable face.

"I asked Shuang'er Niang to stew chicken, and I will drink more chicken soup later."

Boss Xiao covered him with a quilt and said in a low voice.

"Okay," Xiao Le looked happy, but after he finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, and then breathed evenly, obviously falling asleep again.

"Shuang'er, stay here and watch over your second uncle. I'll cook for your mother."

Boss Xiao said softly.

"it is good."

Xiao Shuang nodded.

There are only four chickens in the house, one rooster and three old hens.

Boss Xiao killed a hen that was the oldest in the year, and it could be stewed with firewood for some time.

When Xiao Le woke up again, it was already too dark to see anyone.

It was early spring, and it was a bit chilly at night. He asked Xiao Shuang to go out, and put on his clothes slowly.

Xiao Shuang stood outside the door, listening to the occasional coughing from inside, feeling uncomfortable.

What Dr. Wu meant was that the second uncle may not have many days left, but the second uncle is not married yet, and he doesn't even have any friends.

Really poor.

Thinking of his second uncle's face, which was prettier than many young people in the village, Xiao Shuang sighed long.

If they had a healthy body, they would have been married long ago.

Thinking of what his parents often said, Xiao Shuang sighed again.

"Little people have too many things on their minds," said Xiao Le, who opened the door and was wearing at least three pieces of clothing, looking down at his sighing nephew with his hands behind his back.

This day, if you are in good health, such as Boss Xiao, you can just wear one layer. Sister Xiao only wears one piece of clothing in addition to her close-fitting clothes, and only Xiao Le, who is not in good health, wears the most.

Xiao Shuang wanted to help Xiao Le go, but Xiao Le avoided him. Xiao Shuang's familiar expression appeared on his face, "Do you think I'm useless? I can't even walk the road by myself?"

It was still the second uncle he was familiar with, but just listening to it made people feel a little distressed.

"It doesn't mean that," Xiao Shuang explained for the first time, "I just want to support my second uncle."

"I don't need your help," Xiao Le walked slowly towards the main room, "I'm an adult now, and I don't need children's help."

Xiao Shuang didn't speak, but followed him closely.

When Boss and Boss Xiao brought the food to the main room, Xiao Le was still coughing softly.

Boss Xiao hurriedly scooped him a bowl of fragrant chicken soup, "This is an old hen, which is very nourishing for the body."

"My dilapidated body, it's a waste to make up for it. Eat more."

Xiao Le lowered his eyes and said.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Boss Xiao couldn't hear this, and Aunt Xiao frowned.

"Uncle, don't think about it. Doctor Wu said that your body is much better than before."

It's just talking nonsense with your eyes open.

But Xiao Shuang did not have the previous disgust, but nodded along with his parents' words, "Yes, I heard it with my own ears."

"is it?"

Xiao Le raised his head with some joy, "Then I must eat well, and I will never let you stop eating meaty cough cough cough cough."

"Speak slowly, speak slowly," Boss Xiao quickly reassured him.

After hearing his words, several people's brains were wide open: it was because they were afraid that they would die and spend the money of the family, so they were not allowed to eat meat, because they were afraid of spending more money.

The chicken soup has no fishy smell at all and is very fragrant.

Xiao Le drank in small sips, ate a little rice, and after drinking two bowls of soup, he put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said to them, "I'm done eating, you guys eat more."

The three agreed, but none of them stretched their chopsticks into the small wooden basin containing the chicken, they were all eating pickles and green vegetables.

Seeing this, Xiao Le sighed, and said with red eyes in bewilderment, "It seems that you didn't forgive me, otherwise, how could you not take what I said seriously, yes, I don't deserve your forgiveness, I This kind of person deserves to die..."

How could they hear these words? Immediately, three pairs of chopsticks reached for the chicken.

The three people who hadn't eaten meat for a long time squinted their eyes at the moment they ate the chicken, unconsciously revealing expressions of happiness.

While Xiao Le spurned several handfuls of tea on himself, he also felt that the avatar created for him by the original owner was really convenient.

They ate chicken, but the chicken soup was reserved for Xiao Le.

Because Xiao Le only drank chicken soup at night and didn't eat chicken. He also liked to drink soup in the past and didn't eat much meat.

"I'm going to work in the town tomorrow, you can watch your uncle at home, and when I come back, I'll take you to see the old scholar."

After eating and packing up, the family sat in the main room and talked, Boss Xiao made a bamboo dustpan while talking to Xiao Shuang.

It was Xiao Le who first brought up the matter of going to the private school, and then came to this point.

"Hey," Xiao Shuang held back his excitement and nodded.

Mrs. Xiao was making straw sandals for him, and Xiao held the booklet that was almost torn apart in both hands and recited the contents in a low voice.

Only Xiao Le was lying on the special recliner made for him by Boss Xiao, shaking and coughing.

He didn't cough too loudly, he coughed once in a while, drank a little warm water from time to time, and looked better than the previous few days.

But the more he was like this, the more the three of them felt that their days were numbered.

But no one said it out, instead telling Xiao Le that his health was getting better day by day.

"Brother, sister-in-law, Shuang'er won't go to the private school in the town, you have to tell the patriarch cough cough, so as not to misunderstand cough cough..."

"Don't worry, we won't forget about this."

Boss Xiao told Xiao Le not to worry.

Xiao Le looked at the fireflies in the yard, and said with a smile, "Shuang'er, look at the fireflies, how beautiful they are."

The original owner liked to speak with a harmless and innocent face.

In the past, if Xiao Shuang heard the second uncle's emphasis, he would definitely feel that something was going to happen, but now after hearing what he said, he said, "I'll catch it."

"Don't catch, don't catch," Xiao Le said very kindly, "They are all small lives, living so freely, why bother to disturb them, let's cough and cough and watch."

In Xiao Le's room at night, except for a few coughs in the first half of the night, there was no big movement.

But the couple couldn't fall asleep.

The original owner tossed and tossed at night, which had made the two of them a habit, and suddenly stopped yelling for them to pass in the middle of the night, and really couldn't sleep.

Early the next morning, Boss Xiao set off.

Xiao Le also slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound of the courtyard door closing.

He coughed a few times, the door was knocked a few times, and then Xiao Shuang's voice appeared, "Second Uncle, would you like some water?"

Ever since he went to the private school, he has developed the habit of getting up early every day. Even though he hasn't gone to the private school for two years, he still maintains this habit very well.

"it is good."

Xiao Le's voice was not loud, but Xiao Shuang, who put his ear on the door, still heard it.

He pushed open the door and came in with a bowl of steaming water.

"Your dad went to town?"

"Well," Xiao Shuang nodded, "Mother is making breakfast, the water is still a little hot, Second Uncle should sleep for a while."

"You want to guard me?"

Xiao Le stared at him.

"Well, I won't make a sound, I won't disturb you."

Xiao Shuang changed a lot.

Xiao Le sighed, and suddenly asked Xiao Shuang to come over. Xiao Shuang did not hesitate, and really moved in front of Xiao Le, but Xiao Le slapped him lightly on the face.

Under Xiao Shuang's dazed expression, Xiao Le was extremely serious, but his voice was very weak, "Do you know what it means to be defensive? I treated you badly before, and you treated me just because of a trivial matter. Change cough cough, what if I still treat you badly?"

"But second uncle is kind to me."

Xiao Shuang pondered for a while, then replied.

"When will I be nice to you?"

"You let me continue my studies."

Xiao Le: ...

Is that all right?

Little silly white sweet ah.
