Chapter 9: Mother

It was almost a trot, and when Duan Yun stood at the door of his house again, the excitement in his heart was already irrepressible.

Before the crossing, my mother had paid too much for herself, and she was just in her early fifties, and she had already reached the end of her life because of her hard work.

When Duan Yun didn't honor him for a day.

It's not that I don't want to, but I don't have the ability.

But Duan Yun's body has completely recovered now, and even with the help of the system, his body has surpassed ordinary people.

The building where Duan Yun's house is located was built with the help of the Soviets when the locomotive factory was built, and it looks low and old, but it carries too many of his childhood memories here.

And a few months later, in order to raise the money for Duan Yun's treatment in Beijing, Duan Yun's mother finally sold the house here and moved to a low-rise bungalow on the outskirts of the city.

Duan Yun stood at the door of the house for half a minute, and then he barely calmed down his excitement, and then knocked lightly on the door

With a squeak, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman with graying hair opened the door.

"Mom!" Duan Yun shouted softly, and then directly stepped forward to give a bear hug.

Some things will only be cherished more if they have been lost, and family affection is even more so.

"What's wrong with your child today, how old are you, and you're still like a child. After touching Duan Yun's head with a smile, Duan Mu gently pushed him away.

After Duan Yun let go of his mother, he looked around, and there were only a few simple old pieces of furniture displayed in a house of less than sixty square meters, and as for electrical appliances, there was only a Toshiba black-and-white TV and an electric fan on his desk.

Since his father died in a car accident when he was in elementary school, the family's only source of income is his mother's meager income from odd jobs.

And just by leading Duan Yun around to seek medical advice over the years, he has almost emptied the only savings in his family.

"I've boiled the medicine for you, the old Chinese medicine doctor I showed you last time said that your qi and blood are too weak, these American ginseng are good things to replenish qi, after you drink it, lie on the bed and rest before studying." At this time, Duan Mu brought out a bowl of steaming medicinal soup from the kitchen and sent it to Duan Yun.

"Mom, I'm well now, and I don't need to drink these pills. Duan Yun looked at the brown medicinal soup in the bowl, shook his head and said.

"Why are you disobedient, child? You can't be sloppy with medicine, your body can recover better than anything else. Duan Mu frowned and said in a stern tone.

"......"

"Hurry up and drink!"

"Okay. Duan Yun didn't want to argue with his mother about this kind of thing, so he simply raised his head and poured the entire bowl of medicinal soup into his stomach.

Spicy, bitter, this is almost the taste that accompanied Duan Yun's high school days, and even continued until he crossed over.

Seeing Duan Yun drink all the medicinal soup in the bowl, Duan's mother's face soothed a little.

"Lie down in bed and rest, and I'll make you dinner. ”

Duan's mother said and was about to walk to the kitchen.

Duan Yun knew that his mother was very hard, in order to raise enough money for himself to buy medicine, he worked two part-time jobs at the same time, it was very hard during the day, and he had to boil medicine and cook for himself after work, Duan Yun had already seen the hard work.

In the past, Duan Yun was really weak, and even a little heavier physical work would make him faint, but now he is as strong as a calf, so of course he has to find an opportunity to share his mother's suffering.

"Mom, let me cook today. ”

"Nonsense, what if your body faints again?" Duan Mu shook her head and said.

"Mom, there is an old saying that 'life lies in exercise', my disease can only get better faster if I move more, let me cook today. Duan Yun said, already striding towards the kitchen.

"You kid......"

"Knock knock!" At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?" After hearing the knock on the door, Duan Yun's mother hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door.

A stout and slightly balding middle-aged man appeared at the door, and it was Duan Yun's uncle, Li Gang!

"Brother, you're here. After seeing Li Gang appear, Duan Yun's mother hurriedly stepped forward and shouted affectionately, and then invited him into the room.

And after Duan Yun saw Li Gang, his face suddenly turned cold.

After all, before crossing over, he died at the hands of this man, even if Duan Yun was blessed by misfortune, it was impossible for Duan Yun's hatred for this man to disappear.

It's just that Duan's mother hasn't seen the ugly side of this man clearly at the moment, in her eyes, Li Gang is a relative who has a blood relationship with her after all, even if his brother almost never gives her any help.

"Xiaoyun, go and pour a glass of water for your uncle. After seeing Li Gang sit down, Duan's mother instructed Duan Yun.

Although Duan Yun hated this man very much in his heart, his mother couldn't turn her face directly at the moment, so she simply turned around and walked into the kitchen.

"Girl. At this time, Li Gang sat on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, lit a cigarette and said to Duan's mother: "How have you been like this recently?"

"It's okay!" Duan Yun's mother bit her lip and said, she is a woman who has always been self-reliant and self-reliant, and no matter how much suffering she has, she will choose to bear it silently.

"Don't pretend, I know you're bitter. Li Gang looked disapproving, and then said: "I came today to help your ......."

"Help me?" Duan's mother was stunned when she heard this.

"That's right, I know that your family is suffering financially now, Duan Yun's child is in poor health, and the money you spend on his medical treatment every year is not a small amount, just rely on your woman's family, if you continue like this, you will die of exhaustion sooner or later. ”

"Hey. Duan's mother sighed, and then said: "Brother, I can't help it, Duan Yun After all, I pulled the eldest child, he is sick, even if he smashes the pot and sells iron, he has to treat him, this child's life is hard, his father died early, otherwise he would not have suffered so much with me......"

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, your son is bitter, aren't you bitter?" Li Gang sighed, and then said: "After so many years, haven't you thought about finding someone to marry again?"

"That's so easy, if it's okay for me to say it alone, the problem is that there is a child next to me, and the girl is okay to say, who is willing to carry such a big burden for a boy?" Duan's mother bit her lip, and then said: "I'm not young anymore, I used to have the idea of remarrying, but now it's long gone, but even if I am alone, I will raise him as an adult......"

At this time, Duan Yun, who was standing in the kitchen, heard his mother's words through the door, and suddenly felt that his nose was sore, in his previous life, because he was lying on the bed after school at that time, he rested first, and he didn't hear this paragraph.

It's just that later, my mother did sell the house to Li Gang, which eventually led to me and my mother moving to the outskirts of the city two months later.

But at the moment, it seems that Li Gang has not talked about buying a house, is he mistaken, or is Li Gang really coming to visit his sister and nephew this time?

But then, Duan Yun finally saw Li Gang's fox tail.

"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world. Li Gang lit a cigarette at this time, sighed, and then said: "It's difficult to be a parent, especially to raise a son, for him to eat, for him to wear, for him to go to school, and finally for him to marry his own son, and when they can mix freely in society, we are all old, and we are left to settle down......"

"But isn't it, but people are boiled out like this, what can be done?"

"In fact, in the final analysis, people are still emotional animals, after all, you are my only sister, seeing that you are living so hard now, I have to help you as a brother. Li Gang took a puff of cigarette, and then said: "It stands to reason that Duan Yun is sick, and I, who is an uncle, have to reach out and pull a handful, but you also know that your sister-in-law manages the money in my family, and even if I want to buy a pack of cigarettes, I have to apply with your sister-in-law, and I am also powerless......

"Brother, don't say it, if you have this intention, I will appreciate it. ”

"Actually, I have a way to solve Duan Yun's medical expenses. ”

"What way?" Duan's mother's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"It's very simple, just sell your house. Li Gang flicked off the cigarette ash and said with a raised brow.

"Sell the house!? This is impossible!" After hearing this, Duan's mother shook her head repeatedly.

After all, this house is the only place left by Duan Yun's mother and daughter, and no matter how miserable life is at home now, it can be regarded as a shelter from the wind and rain, but once this house is sold, this home will not exist at all!
