32 There are two kinds of poor
"This is Li Tangni, my classmate," Qu Nanxiu pretended to be calm and briefly introduced, "How is my dad now?"
Lenghua tried hard to suppress the uneasiness in her heart: "I just found out the intracranial tumor yesterday, and I was immediately hospitalized. Tomorrow afternoon we should be able to know whether the result is benign or malignant. ”
"How did you find out?"
"Your dad suddenly said yesterday that he had a terrible headache, and your aunt asked me to help, so I came to the hospital quickly. ”
Qu Nanxiu looked at this virtuous and capable woman who he had loved for many years and was still silently working for her home: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"What's the matter? Uncle Qu watched me grow up, just like my father, shouldn't I do my best?"
Qu Nanxiu's gratitude can no longer be expressed in poor words.
Lenghua said considerately: "By the way, you must be tired after sitting in the car for so long, right?"
"It's fine. ”
"Aren't you tired, aren't you tired Xiao Li?"
Li Tangni hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm not tired, I'm not tired." ”
Lenghua arranged in an orderly manner: "Go in and take a look at your father, and then take your object home to rest." Your aunt and I will keep an eye on it tonight, and you will take over tomorrow during the day. ”
Li Tangni immediately had a good impression of Lenghua, and the reason was very simple - she called herself "the object of Qu Nanxiu", and she loved this name to death!
Qu Nanxiu didn't care about explaining, he first went to visit his sleeping father, he couldn't bear to disturb, he turned over the river and the sea in his heart, and comforted his aunt, and then waited for the next day's tough battle.
He pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Linghua, when is the wedding going to be held, and where are you going to do it?"
"Yet, it's not decided, now is not the time to talk about this. ”
Several people scrambled to stay vigil, and in the end, Qu Nanxiu decided to take Li Tangni back first. She is not her real girlfriend, how can she stay up late?
Home is not far from the hospital. It's really a golden nest and a silver nest is not as good as his own kennel, as soon as he arrived home, Qu Nanxiu felt extremely kind, but it would be nice if his father and grandmother were there.
"Well, that's where I grew up. ”
Li Tangni's gaze swept over every old but cleanly wiped furniture and things, as if he saw Qu Nanxiu's materially scarce childhood.
Thinking about when I was a child, I had fine clothes and food, and all kinds of toy dolls were piled up in several rooms, and I couldn't help but feel a little more understanding and distressed about him.
A kind of tenderness peculiar to a woman to the man she likes pervades this humble house.
In the dim light, she saw unwashed dishes and chopsticks in the sink in the yard, and immediately started to clean up.
"I'll come," Qu Nanxiu grabbed her green fingers, "you're not here to work for me, it's not dawn yet, go take a shower and rest for a while." ”
Li Tangni squeezed his eyes: "No, I have to help you share some housework, or how can I deserve the title of 'you object'?"
Qu Nanxiu smiled stiffly.
But Li Tangni has never done much work since he was a child, he washed and washed clumsily, and if he didn't grasp it steadily, he fell to the ground and broke it when he "snapped".
"Broken peace, years and years of peace!"
She kept reading, embarrassed to run to the corner to get a broom.
On her birthday a few days ago, she was still a glorious princess with stars and moons, but now she ran to her home to be Cinderella. Qu Nanxiu thought as he took the dustpan and shook her hand with his big hand naturally.
This is his way of expressing his gratitude.
It was such a small move that made Li Tangni as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
Sometimes, men do a little bit of sesame for women, as long as they put their hearts into it, it will make them move a mess. Women in love are the stupidest and not demanding.
The conditions for bathing are very poor, the water heater is sometimes good and bad, and sometimes the water becomes cold when you wash it, unless you artificially pat it from time to time.
So, Qu Nanxiu waited under the water heater outside the bathroom, and as long as Li Tangni shouted "the water is getting cold" inside, he hurriedly "banged" a few times. Li Tangni has never taken such a lively bath.
If it weren't for the fact that my father was seriously ill, such an errand as guarding the bathing beauty would definitely make Qu Nanxiu think about it.
When Li Tangni's hair came out wet, it was really as bright and moving as a hibiscus out of the water, without a trace of pink grease decoration.
Qu Nanxiu looked at her like a fairy who had just come out of a painting, but the background of this painting was a little miserable.
Looking at the beauties, he didn't forget to ask Li Tangni to call her home to report her safety.
Li Tangni curled her fingers at the ends of her hair and said, "Actually, I didn't tell my parents at all. They're on a business trip anyway, and it's okay if they don't know, and if they do, they'll be in trouble. ”
Qu Nanxiu was silent for a long time, feeling very guilty in his heart: "It's better to talk to your family in the future, they will worry about you." ”
"Okay......"
"Now you go to sleep in the back room. ”
"Oh. ”
Li Tangni hesitated to go in. But after a while, he hurried to the outhouse again with his hair disheveled, and came to him, his face pale.
Qu Nanxiu was taken aback: "What's wrong with you?"
Li Tangni trembled and pointed in the direction of the inner room and said, "Spiders, there are spiders, so big ......"
The two hands were the size of a walnut.
"Ahem," Qu Nanxiu breathed a sigh of relief, crying and laughing, "I thought something was wrong, it's normal to have spiders, I'll help you get rid of it!"
But when she came to the back room, she saw that the "big" spider the size of a walnut was actually not much bigger than a soybean, even counting the legs!
Qu Nanxiu's nose was crooked, but seeing her frightened, he couldn't bear to count her. Where is all the domineering she used to have?
But it didn't take long for Li Tangni to come to the outhouse with his arms trembling again: "Qu Nanxiu, have you slept? I'm a little cold, do you still have an extra quilt?"
To say, this kind of "God-given opportunity" can't be found with a lantern, and if it were someone else, it would have been taken advantage of a long time ago. But now Qu Nanxiu is full of worries about his father's illness, and he still rejects Li Tangni in a certain sense: "Ah, it's a little cold at night, you don't wear much, take my quilt away, I can't sleep anyway." ”
"It's just right, I can't sleep either, so I'll chat with you. ”
A few nights ago, they chatted face-to-face in a luxury villa, but at this time, their mood was very different, and the relationship between the two seemed to have quietly taken a step forward.
The air in my hometown is better than in Beijing, and you can see the long-lost stars while sitting in the yard.
"When I was a child, my grandmother told me that when she was gone, she would become a star and watch me from the sky. Although I know now that this is not true, I still can't help but look at the stars for a long time, but unfortunately the air in Beijing is so poor that there are almost no stars. ”
Li Tangni looked at the sky sympathetically, wrapped the quilt tightly, and said, "Qu Nanxiu, tell me a little more about you." ”
"My Story ......"
"Wow-"
A small waterfall cascades down a moss-covered boulder, splashing like a diamond. The ground is full of flowers, and the treetops are hung with a lot of fruits of seven colors, and when the wind blows, there is a rhythmic "click" sound.
As expected, Qu Nanxiu became the man surnamed Tu in black again, and Li Tangni became the girl with a little silt between her eyebrows......
Qu Nanxiu is used to it and no longer makes a fuss about hallucinations. He shook his head to drive the white light away, and then recalled, "Tell me about my grandmother, she is a very interesting old man. In the past, before the exam, I spent all night reviewing my homework, and other parents generally said that if I worked so hard, I would definitely be able to do well in the exam, guess what my grandmother said?
"Hehe, that seems to be true. ”
"When I was a child, my family was poor, and although I am not rich now, I was significantly poor before I was six years old. When my grandmother walked around town, she used to have a rope tied around her waist, and at the end of the rope was a large magnet that could absorb a lot of iron sheets and nails along the way, and she could sell them for money. ”
Qu Nanxiu raised the corners of his mouth and continued: "At that time, there was a canal not far east of here, and the upper reaches of the canal was a vegetable market, and vendors would wash vegetables and fruits in the river. It's normal to accidentally get washed away with an apple or a few greens. My grandmother was very clever and made a barrier out of branches and nets, so that the river became my family's special supermarket, and at one moment two corns floated in, and then a few dates. It's just that this supermarket can't just pick up random things, and you can eat whatever you want. That's when I developed my swimming skills. ”
"One year, my dad was working outside, and something may have happened and he couldn't send his living expenses back on time. One night, I was lying in bed and said weakly, "Grandma, we haven't had dinner yet." My grandmother said, "Go to sleep, kid, you don't have dinner every day." I said, our days are so hard, I feel uncomfortable. Grandma said that don't talk about unhappy things at night, no matter how difficult the day is, it's not a big deal during the day. ”
Qu Nanxiu's face was quiet, not like he was telling about his poor childhood, but like he was talking about some happy memories. But Li Tangni's eyes were a little red.
"My grandmother also famously said. She said that there are two kinds of poor people in the world, one is the negative poor, and the other is the optimistic poor, isn't it good that we are optimistic poor? Enjoy poverty, and when you become rich in the future, you will be busy, busy eating delicious food, picking out good things, busy playing around, and worrying about soiling beautiful clothes, and people who are richer than you have good things, and you will be entangled in wanting to ......."
Qu Nanxiu stopped suddenly: "Why are you crying? Don't tell me that your eyes are in the sand, and don't say that you cut the onion." ”
Li Tangni burst into tears and laughed again.
Qu Nanxiu deliberately eased the atmosphere: "Don't talk about this, by the way, there is something I want to tell you." ”
"What?"
"The last time I said I looked like I had swam with you, I wasn't really talking. ”
Li Tangni pursed his lips and smiled: "I believe in you." ”
