Chapter 8: Gathering on a Narrow Road (4)

Li Xin was standing in the pavilion, holding a piece of matcha cake that I loved, looking at me and Gu Qichen in surprise.

"Li Xin, Li Xin!" I was like a fish on the verge of drying up and meeting water.

Li Xin threw down the things in his hand, took a step with long legs, and ran towards us.

"What's wrong?"

"She sprained her foot and had to seek medical attention immediately. Gu Qichen briefly explained the situation to him, his tone was cold, and there were no ups and downs.

Li Xin glanced at my swollen ankles and stretched out her arms.

"You give her to me, don't worry, she'll be fine!"

He seemed to make up his mind, and sighed softly. In the end, I was handed over to Li Xin.

My tight heartstrings were loosened at this moment.

Li Xin took me and entered the house through the back door. In the courtyard, there are already figures floating.

"I can walk on my own!"

"How do you walk? Jumping on one leg? Golden Rooster Independence?" his tone also carried a hint of warm anger.

"Or is it only Gu Qichen who can hold you?"

I......

In this matter, the two of them are surprisingly consistent. The same stubbornness. The same machismo.

But I'm willing to endure the pain and go by myself, it's better to wander between two men.

"Don't be afraid, you have been condemned by your grandfather, and it is justified for me to hold you like this. No one dares to gossip. ”

In order to break this embarrassing atmosphere, Li Xin pretended to be humorous.

But I was so hurt that I really didn't have the energy to deal with him, so I faked sleep.

......

When Grandpa Li heard that I twisted my foot, he immediately brought his family doctor to come, the old man is old, and often has minor illnesses and pains, and the family has a doctor by his side all year round. At this point, it was cheaper for me.

While the doctor was chatting with me, he quickly touched my dislocated ankle, and the joint was reset with a "click".

Although it hurts, it is only for a moment, and the discomfort just now has been reduced a lot.

"It's no big deal, apply a hot compress for 15 minutes in the morning and evening, and then I will give some external medicine, don't rush to move after the swelling has subsided." It won't take 10 days to be back to life. ”

I thanked the doctor and he left. Grandpa told Li Xin to take good care of me, and he went out to meet guests again. There are a lot of people here today, and the protagonist of the old man can't be away from the table for too long.

"You're going to have to stay in bed for a while. Tell me about you, I got into a fight with someone a few days ago, and my hand was cut just right. Now my foot is sprained again!"

"The passing year is not good, do you think I should go to the temple to worship and see if I have collided with something?"

"Rush at you!" Li Xin tapped on the top of my head.

"Are you hungry? The feast has begun, I'll get you something to eat!"

"I want to eat matcha cake!" I licked my lips.

"Don't mention cake to me!"

I remembered the piece that was thrown on the ground by Li Xin, and hurriedly shut up.

"I can be kind and let Sister-in-law Liu cook pig's trotter soybean soup for you, and make up for what you eat!"

By the time I realized that he was scolding me, the man had already left the room.

I lay on the bed in the Li family's guest room, staring at the ceiling. Suddenly, Gu Qichen's eyes flashed in his mind as he stood under the pavilion with his shoulders down.

Sad, sad, and mixed with a hint of powerlessness.

......

After Sister-in-law Liu took a set of home clothes for me to change, Li Xin still came in with a piece of cake. I knew he was always soft-hearted.

"Niannian, you have to do a good job of psychological construction!" he said suddenly.

"Lin Qihong wants to see you!"

I almost threw the cake out of my hand. There was a slight chill in the palms of the hands and feet.

My own uncle is an existence that is stranger than a stranger.

If that's all there is to it, there's nothing wrong with that. None of the laws stipulate that he has an obligation to support us.

However, after his father left, Xia cleared his assets, but his uncle transferred his equity one step earlier and withdrew. And quickly rising. All these coincidences are incredible.

There is an even more cruel thing, the driver of the mother's car accident has not been apprehended. I have every reason to believe that this is a long-planned plan.

However, Lin Qihong is too cunning, and he has already moved his local assets to the south a few years ago, leaving no traces.

"If you don't want to see it, I'll let grandpa refuse!"

"See, why not, sooner or later, they'll go head-to-head!" I was more resolute than ever.

Very good, the old man has a birthday. The sacredness of all sides has been revealed.

......

When Uncle Li pushed the door and came in, Li Xin and I were sitting in the side hall of the guest room, because my left foot could not step on the ground, I did not get up to salute him, he waved at me, with a loving smile on his face, just like my father did to me when he was alive.

Immediately afterwards, a slightly bloated figure dressed in a fine costume also walked in.

"Xixi! Uncle has come to see you!. Before anyone arrived, the voice resounded through the hall.

I looked at the face I walked in, trying to overlap him with what I remembered. That's right, he's my own uncle.

"Xixi, uncle has been looking for you for many years. All these years, you have suffered!"

He had walked in, took me into his arms, and burst into tears.

Those who don't know will definitely be moved to tears by the picture of our uncle and nephew recognizing each other.

However, Li Xin pulled me back in time. explained: "Uncle Lin, miss her sprained foot. You can bear with the inconvenience. ”

"Yes, yes, it's my uncle who is reckless!" he immediately changed to a grinning appearance, and the change was so fast that it was astonishing.

"Xixi, uncle came back this time, my biggest wish is to take you to Shanghai, your sister is about to come back from abroad, then we will live together as a family, let me make up for what I owe you all these years!"

Even I was almost moved by his hypocritical feelings.

"Uncle!"

"Huh!" he replied crisply.

"You haven't been to your grandparents in years, have you? My mom and dad's grave is with theirs, don't you know?"

Despite the quick dodge, I caught a hint of sluggishness in his expression.

Great, my goal has been accomplished!

"Uncle, you don't have to worry about me, I'm living well. Grandpa Li loves me very much, and Uncle Li treats me as his own daughter. What else do you have to worry about!"

"Yes, yes, I just came back and already heard that the girl is so blessed to be blessed by the Li family. Our Lin family girl is the best. ”

He went down the stairs I had given him.

Yes, the opponent is strong. This aroused my fighting spirit even more.

If I didn't have a follow-up, I think I could have scored a perfect score for my performance today, and I practiced well.

"Xixi! Do you remember the boy of the Gu family who grew up with you and your sister when you were a child, Gu Qichen? I have business dealings with their family, and he has come back this time, you should have all seen it, right?"
