Chapter 183: A Man with a Sense of Security
"What? Give me a bath? Hearing that Qin Shuang was going to help her take a bath, Mother Li's mouth opened wide in surprise. Pinshu.com
She didn't expect that Qin Shuang asked her about the wooden basin to give her a bath.
Like them, because of the remote location, there is no bathhouse in the village at all. Usually, everyone makes a basin at home and scrubs it briefly. When I go to the town, I take my toiletries and go to the local bathhouse.
All the people in their village have done this from old to young, and after a long time, they have all gotten used to it. Even some people don't go to the bathhouse to take a bath once a year.
Normal people are like this, let alone an old woman like her. Because her legs and feet remain the same, Mother Li even has to hold on to a stool or crutches when she walks, let alone be able to wipe her body with water.
Although Li Guosheng is her biological son, no matter how you say it, there is a difference between men and women. In order to leave a good reputation for her son and marry a good daughter-in-law in the future, Li's mother insisted on wiping her body by herself. Every time she wiped it, she was so tired that she sweated, and the result was that she wiped it in vain.
Li Guosheng also mentioned it, saying that he was looking for someone to help Li's mother. But Li's mother refused. Although everyone is a neighbor, they usually take care of it, once or twice, but they always have to be served by her wife, who wants to.
Over the years, because Li Guosheng had to be busy with things in the field for seven or eight months of the year, he could only carry his wife to the bathhouse in the town to take a bath once a year. Fortunately, in the bathhouse, there are special people who help people take a bath, which saves trouble.
For the fact that it took his wife to take a bath once a year, Li Guosheng felt deeply guilty. He also wanted to marry a daughter-in-law and come back to help him serve his mother. But after the girls knew about his family conditions, they lost their faith. Finally, a few people who were willing to look at him also saw him, and after seeing his overly serious face, they were all scared away. Because of this, Li Guosheng became the oldest leftover man in their village.
What the son thinks in his heart, the mother naturally knows. Mother Li felt that it was she who delayed Li Guosheng. If it weren't for her, Li Guosheng might still be in the army now. With her son's excellent ability, he will definitely be upgraded to something else now. How can it be like now, every day I am in this mountain col, dealing with the yellow earth all day long!
I thought that this life would be like this. Unexpectedly, there was a change. Qin Shuang's appearance unintentionally brought a new hope to their old Li family.
Now Qin Shuang stayed, and said that he wanted to bathe himself. Mother Li felt that happiness came too quickly, and she couldn't hold back for a while, and her eyes turned red.
After helping Mother Li change into clean clothes, Qin Shuang glanced at Mother Li casually. As a result, this look startled her.
"Big ...... Auntie, what's wrong with you? Is it uncomfortable? Thinking that Mother Li was not feeling well, Qin Shuang became a little flustered. She wondered if she should help find two pills.
"It's okay, auntie, I'm happy." Seeing that the worry on Qin Shuang's face was not a fake, Mother Li reached out and patted the hand that Qin Shuang put on her shoulder with relief.
"Happy? What is the aunt happy about? ”
"Of course, I'm glad to have met such a good child as you. Not only help the eldest mother wash the dirty clothes, but also help the eldest mother take a bath. You're such a good kid, it's really a few. ”
Probably not very accustomed to being praised by others, Qin Shuang lowered his head a little shyly.
"Auntie, these are nothing. Compared to how good you and Brother Li are to me, what I have done is simply insignificant. ”
When she mentioned her son, Mother Li's eyes flashed, and she wondered if she should take this opportunity to test her stupid son.
"Shuang, what do you think of your brother Shengzi?"
What do you think? Qin Shuang frowned. She didn't understand why Mother Li asked this, but out of politeness, she still had to answer. She thought about it for a moment before she spoke.
"Hmm...... Brother Li is very good. Although he always has a straight face, he is very careful and knows how to take care of people, which makes people feel very secure. ”
Hearing Qin Shuang's evaluation of his stupid son so well, Mother Li was happy in her heart. But she didn't show it, but her face was full of sadness.
"Alas, if Katsuko is really as good as you say, why hasn't he married a daughter-in-law until now?"
"Huh? This...... Maybe it wasn't fate. Auntie, don't worry, there must be many girls like Brother Shengzi who want to marry him! ”
"Really?"
"Really."
"You must be bluffing me, otherwise, why haven't you seen Katsuko bring back a girl until now. Shuang, you say, is it because there is a paralyzed old woman like me at home, so it delays Katsuko's family affairs? "Mother Li decided not to go around the bend anymore and directly threw out the 'bomb' topic.
"No, how could it be! Don't think about it, auntie. A good mother-in-law like you, and a good husband like Brother Li, those girls who marry in must only enjoy happiness! Worried that Mother Li was thinking wildly, Qin Shuang was a little anxious to guide her old man. As everyone knows, I have now jumped into the trap set by others.
"Is it really that good?" Mother Li turned her eyes that were not too big, but shrewd and shining, and carefully looked at Qin Shuang.
"Really, don't worry, auntie."
"Then if it were you, would you marry a man like Katsuko?" Finally, Mother Li threw out the key topic of this discussion.
Almost without thinking about it, Qin Shuang blurted out: "Of course, if it were me, I would definitely marry a man like Brother Li." ”
Half of this sentence is because it is because he does not make Mother Li sad, Qin Shuang will say this. As for the other half, naturally, she herself thinks that if she really wants to marry someone in the future, a choice like Li Guosheng is also good. At least I know how to feel sorry for people.
When she got the answer she wanted, Mother Li was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. I don't mind at all, because of this smile, I make the old folds on my face look even more.
What is the lady laughing at?
Not understanding why Mother Li was smiling so happily, Qin Shuang was slightly puzzled. She thought for a moment what the two of them had said before, and then her delicate face turned red again.
Oh my God, what did she just say! He was ashamed to say such a thing.
"Auntie, that, I'm going to do the laundry, otherwise the water will be cold." Picking up the clothes that Mother Li had changed on the kang in a little panic, Qin Shuang lowered his head, didn't dare to look at Mother Li, and hurriedly ran out with a red face.
"Hahaha." Seeing Qin Shuang's almost life-threatening back, Mother Li couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that the little girl is also interesting to her stupid son. Well, her eldest grandson probably won't be able to run.
After leaving the house and coming to the courtyard, Qin Shuang sat on the small stool placed next to the laundry tub, taking a deep breath, ready to adjust his fast-beating heartbeat.
What did Aunt Li mean by what she said just now? Is it the same as she thinks?
Picking at the nails of his index finger in some confusion, Qin Shuang frowned, and began to ponder what Mother Li had just said to him.
If she understood correctly, combined with what Aunt Li said, coupled with the meaningful smile at the end, Qin Shuang felt that it was likely to be what she imagined.
Could it be that Aunt Li wants to marry Brother Li?
At this time, the figure of Li Guosheng suddenly appeared in Qin Shuang's mind. The man with a muscular body and a stern face.
The first person she saw when she opened her eyes was him, so for no reason, Qin Shuang had a good impression of this man who didn't like to talk very much.
If she stays here and lives with this man who gives her a sense of security for the rest of her life, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
Thinking that he might marry Li Guosheng, Qin Shuang felt that his face was even hotter.
"Ah...... Qin Shuang, you are really hopeless. A girl would like to do such a thing! Covering his face shyly, Qin Shuang blamed himself with some chagrin.
Alas, it's so tangled.
Licking his somewhat dry lips, Qin wrapped his hands around his knees, leaned his chin lightly on it, and stared at the clothes in the basin.
It was a good place, but she was curious about the memory she had lost. She felt that the loss of a part of her memory was like some regrets in her life.
Qin Shuang wanted to know what kind of life he had lived before and what kind of friends he had met. But she forgot it cleanly, and there was no trace of 'slag' left.
Compared with Qin Shuang's distress, thousands of kilometers away, there are also some people who are worried.
In the VIP ward of a private hospital in H City, there was a man with a handsome face and a thin body. He lay there like a sleeping angel, motionless. If it weren't for the slight fluctuations of the body due to breathing, it would be difficult for people to perceive that it was a living person and not a puppet.
"Xiao, how is Haoyu?" At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open from outside, and a man in a camel-colored tweed coat with a cold face walked in. The man gave people a very cold and arrogant feeling, but when he saw the person lying on the bed, a flash of pain flashed in his eyes.
"Haoxuan, you're here." Seeing the visitor, Lin Xiao, who was still sitting on the sofa in the ward, stood up.
It turned out that it was none other than Qin Haoyu, who was stunned that day because of L's actions.
After he fainted, he was sent to this private hospital by Lin Xiao and Zhongyi as soon as possible. At that time, the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with the examination, but he was too stimulated and couldn't help but faint for a while.
They thought it would be such a simple matter, and after a few hours, Qin Haoyu would be fine when he woke up. Therefore, they did not inform Qin Haoyu's family of this matter.
But after waiting for a few hours, Qin Haoyu still didn't wake up. So they waited patiently for some more time. It wasn't until two days later, when Qin Haoyu still didn't have any intention of waking up, that Lin Xiao and Zhongyi realized that something was wrong.
