Chapter 263: Chinese New Year's Eve 4
"Shen Zhou, why did you come out?" Li Mingyuan looked sideways.
"Don't worry grandpa, I'll take a look. ”
Li Mingyuan nodded clearly, "Your grandfather is too, at such an old age, he is still drunk, he doesn't care about his body at all, when he is sober, you have to talk about him." ”
Li Shenzhou smiled and didn't speak.
Li Mingxin glanced at Li Shenzhou quite unexpectedly, and listened to the words, as if the third uncle listened to Shenzhou's words, which is strange!
At the fork in the road, Li Shenzhou handed Li Kainian over to Li Mingxin, and she and Li Mingyuan helped the old man back to the yard. Hold the old man to lie on the bed and cover it with a quilt.
Li Mingyuan wiped his sweat and smiled at Li Shenzhou: "Zhouzhou, you go to your aunt first, your uncle is here to take care of your grandfather." ”
"No need grandpa, you can go! Uncle Mingshan, Uncle Mingchen, and Uncle Mingxin will all watch for the New Year; Li Shenzhou shook his head with a smile, and when he saw that he was going to say more, he said: "Uncle, you also know that I know some medical skills;
Li Mingyuan thought of Shen Zhou's past behavior, which was proper and steady, but he was also relieved, "That's okay! After you watch your grandfather fall asleep, bring him a bowl of water and put it next to the bed, and you will go back early to rest; you haven't kept the old age, and you will definitely fall asleep later." ”
"Okay, I know, uncle, go quickly!" Li Shenzhou nodded with a smile in response to his advice.
Li Mingyuan smiled, turned around, and strode away.
Li Shenzhou took out a bottle of Xiao Peiyuan paste from the space, "Grandpa, grandpa, wake up." ”
"Boat, boat...... Don't, call. The old man waved his hand, half-opened his mouth, and snored.
Li Shenzhou shook his head and smiled, put the bottle to his lips, and urged Xiao Peiyuan to put the ointment into his mouth with spiritual power, reached out to close his mouth, and raised his forehead.
The old man only felt a cool breath enter his mouth, relieving the hot mouth and throat, and swallowed it smoothly.
Li Shenzhou put away the bottle and sat on the edge of the bed with peace of mind, watching the blush on the old man's face gradually fade away, and he fell asleep quietly. Looking up at the outside, a burst of firecrackers rang out, crackling to show that it was twelve o'clock.
poured a bowl of warm water for the old man and put it next to the bed, looked at the old man again, and then closed the door and left.
Walking on the path in the courtyard with the sound of firecrackers, Li Shenzhou smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking up at the night sky, the stars were scorching, and hoped that everything would go well next year.
Walking out of the gate with the sound of firecrackers, I saw the four Li Shuzhi brothers squatting on the steps, watching the red firecracker slag outside fly with the crackling sound.
Li Mingyuan, Li Mingxin and others gathered on both sides of the door, staring at this scene fixedly.
After the firecrackers were released, Li Shuzhi's four children rushed up, looking for the unreleased firecrackers.
"Shuzhi, take your younger brothers, be careful, don't run, don't run, just released, don't be in a hurry to find it. Tian Linglong eagerly swallowed.
Li Shuzhi and several children were already rummaging through the pile of crumbs.
"Sister-in-law, forget it, let them go! Xu Liang stopped Tian Linglong.
Tian Linglong looked eagerly, "These little rabbit cubs are too worry-free, and the child in Xiajia Village last year just saw the firecracker handle blow up, how dangerous it is!"
"That's all in the past, our children are sensible, don't worry about it, watch how they play, when they finish picking up, there are still two rounds of firecrackers to be set off!" Xu Liang didn't care, where could it be so clever every year?
Tian Linglong stomped her feet anxiously, and for a while, she didn't hear the firecrackers bursting, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
These kids are really bad, too.
Li Shenzhou stepped forward with a chuckle, "Auntie." ”
"Zhouzhou, why are you here?, is your grandfather asleep?" Xu Hongqi asked, taking her hand.
Li Shenzhou nodded with a smile, "Grandpa is already asleep, I can't sleep, so I'll come over to take a look; ”
"I also think it's lively, and it's the same when I go home in previous years, it's the New Year! A big family is busy from morning to night, but I'm very happy. Xu Hongqi nodded and agreed with what she said, "You little girl, you've been outside for ten years, and you haven't celebrated the New Year like this, have you?"
"yes!"
"I came back every year after that. The smile on Xu Hongqi's face became even stronger, "You are also older now, when you go back, the eldest uncle and eldest aunt will talk to your grandfather; ”
Li Shenzhou's eyes lit up, and then he laughed out loud, "Auntie, I'm only fifteen years old, it's early!"
"It's not early, find the right person, get the certificate at the age of eighteen, it's just right. Xu Hongqi touched her little tender face, "However, I think Shen Yuan is a good kid, what do you think?"
Li Shenzhou's heart jumped, "Auntie ......"
"There's no urgency, it depends on what your grandfather says. Xu Hongqi thought that his little niece had not yet opened his mind, so he was embarrassed, so he diverted the topic.
Li Shenzhou breathed a sigh of relief, Li Shenyuan's slightly childish face appeared in his mind, and then the face that gradually became resolute; for a while, he remembered Li Shenyuan who was fighting abroad.
"I don't know what happened to my brother. ”
"Your brother is on the battlefield, and no news comes is good news. Xu Hongqi pulled her back to the corner and whispered, "In the past, when your uncle went out on a mission and went to the battlefield, I was also worried; No news is the best, indicating that he is safe. ”
Li Shenzhou nodded suddenly, "Auntie, can grandpa get news of my brother?"
"No, your grandfather has been retired for a long time, and those people above won't give you the news; Xu Hongqi smiled and comforted her, "Okay, don't worry, have a good New Year, if you are really worried, when we return to Sijiu City, you can write a letter and ask your eldest uncle to help you send it to Shen Yuan." ”
"Won't it be troublesome? Uncle didn't intervene in this battle. Li Shenzhou hesitated.
Xu Hongqi smiled and said: "It's okay, there are a few comrades-in-arms of your eldest uncle over there, just let the people who came to support here bring them over, and you don't need to go through the hands of those people above, it's very safe." ”
"That's fine. Li Shenzhou had a smile in his eyes, and his worried heart was also relaxed.
Xu Hongqi patted her on the shoulder, "It's better now, isn't it? You girl, at a young age, is a worrying life, how can you get it in the future!"
"What are you two talking about here?" Xu Liang stepped back from the front and retreated to Xu Hongqi's side before stopping, staring at the two of them curiously, "Could it be that you are whispering?"
