4. Chapter IV
Xie Ling didn't expect that what Xie Xing said about working hard to make a lot of money was not just talking.
Here's the thing, an old gentleman who had been treating rheumatism with Dr. Sun had recently come to Dr. Simon's clinic, and Dr. Simon's method was different from Dr. Sun's, and he often had to lie there for two or three hours as soon as he was treated, so the old gentleman kept pulling Xie Ling to talk about it, and one day he suddenly asked her if she had a younger brother.
Xie Ling only thought that he had heard about it from Dr. Simon, and responded, "Yes." ”
"That's it." The old gentleman said.
She wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
The old gentleman lay there touching his beard, and his tone was full of admiration, "Your brother has recently come to my son's private school every day to observe, saying that he wants to study hard and make a name for himself. ”
Xie Ling was almost stunned in place, and his hand holding the medicine stopped, "...... When did it start? ”
"Five days ago?"
…… Xie Xing did run away from home with her on the night six days ago.
"He said that his sister was already working hard in the hospital every day, and he didn't want his sister to pay for him to go to a private school, so he went to my son's side every day to observe."
Xie Ling was dumbfounded: "Yes...... Is that the case? ”
Dr. Simon, who was consulting a pregnant woman, also heard their conversation, and after explaining to the pregnant woman, he turned his head to look at her, "You brothers and sisters only think about each other." ”
“…… I didn't expect that to be the case. Xie Ling scratched his face and asked the old gentleman, "Can I inquire about going to a private school?"
"Miss Xie's younger brother is very smart, and my son originally wanted to accept him as a disciple, but as for the money, I don't know very well."
"Well, I'll ask in the next two days." If it weren't for the fact that people were still standing in the infirmary, Xie Ling really wanted to slap herself, but she always felt that there was no big problem with Xie Xing's education, and she actually forgot a crucial point and didn't let him go to school!
As for how smart Xie Xing is, she, as an elder sister, must have the right to speak, and naturally she heard that the old gentleman was not vain.
has such a smart younger brother, a little tired and a little hard, let him study hard and get a good reputation in the future, it's really good, not to mention whether you can avoid those cannon fodder plots in the martial arts world, at least you can still have a little bit of security.
And no matter how powerful the knight is, he will not have nothing to do with the ban by force, so in the direction of the imperial examination, he may really be able to avoid a catastrophe.
After making up his mind, Xie Ling went to the old gentleman's private school the next day to pay Xie Xing's tuition, and asked the master to supervise Xie Xing well.
The master heard about this from his own father, and he was happy to be a favor, not to mention that Xie Ling also gave a little more money, saying that he was grateful to him for letting her brother audit before.
It is rare for a sixteen-year-old girl to be so good at behaving.
Doctor Simon seemed to be very concerned about Xie Xing's schooling, and after learning that she had made arrangements, he asked a few words about the master in the private school, Xie Ling thought about the master with a wide heart and a fat body, nodded and said honestly: "It looks very kind." ”
"That's it." He pondered for a while, and suddenly turned to Ximen Fuxue, who was sitting quietly on the side, "Ah Xue, do you want to go to the private school to study too?" I see that you stay at home all day and have nothing to do—"
Xie Lingxin said no, do you want Ximen to blow snow and her brother as classmates, then what is she trying to do so hard!
Fortunately, at the moment when Ximen Fuxue raised his head and was about to speak, Chongqi, who was sitting next to him, had already jumped up, "He won't go!" ”
Dr. Simon sighed, "Okay then. ”
Xie Ling: ??? Your son hasn't spoken yet, has he?
However, this result was still satisfactory to her, and at Chongqi's request, Ximen Chuixue did not go to private school, but continued to stay in the hospital to play with Chongqi.
Xie Ling once accidentally caught a glimpse of the books he was reading on weekdays, except for the sword book is a medical book, it is hard to imagine that an eight-year-old child can actually read these quietly every day, but when he thinks that this is Ximen blowing snow, there seems to be nothing wrong.
She felt satisfied, but Xie Xing didn't.
In fact, Xie Xing did plan to do so at first, but after listening to it for a few days, he felt that Lu Xiaofeng was right, reading was boring.
But Xie Ling asked the master to take care of him more, and the master especially liked him to recite or answer questions. went to find Lu Xiaofeng on his day off, and was ridiculed by the other party, "I just said it was boring!" ”
He had a bitter face: "I didn't know it was so boring, and my sister has already paid the tuition, and if I don't go, I will definitely be beaten to death by her." ”
Lu Xiaofeng waved his hand, and he didn't look like an eight-year-old child at all, "Sister Ah Ling loves you so much, no." ”
"Forget about anything else, but she really seems to want me to take the imperial examination!" Xie Xing's face was full of sadness, "What else do you say, it's up to me to live a life of drinking a bowl of soy milk and pouring a bowl of soy milk!" ”
Lu Xiaofeng laughed, learning what the master did to him, patting him on the shoulder, "Then you work hard." ”
The two chased and fought, and only when the moon was on the willow tops did Xie Ling rush back from the hospital.
Because Xie Xing started going to school, she also developed the habit of cooking the next day's meals the day before, and then heating it up when she came back, so that her younger brother was so hungry that he didn't want to study.
Knowing that today was a rest day for their private school, Xie Ling originally planned to go home early, but he didn't want to have a lot of patients today, so he dragged it out until Youshi, and the shops on the street had closed early, and when he walked back, he didn't see half of his figure, and he was also very frightened.
"Sister Ah Ling is back!" Lu Xiaofeng jumped off the stool first and ran towards her, grabbed Xie Xing's waist in front of her, and rubbed it twice, "Can I come to dinner?" ”
As a face control, can you say no to such a snow-white and cute face with dimples? Of course not.
"But I didn't fry the snails today." She patted Lu Xiaofeng's head, "If you're hungry, go to Ah Xing to ask for pastries to eat, and my sister will cook for you first." ”
Xie Xing was so angry that he was going to die, but when he thought of what happened after the quarrel with his sister last time, he didn't dare to make trouble with her willfully, so he could only glare at Lu Xiaofeng, thinking that he was shouting in a low voice: "You are too dirty!" Don't hold my sister! ”
"I took a shower before I came." Lu Xiaofeng was puzzled.
"I don't care!" Xie Xing's eyes widened and he refused to give in, "Not allowed is not allowed!" ”
Lu Xiaofeng has seen a lot more of the world than him, so he naturally knows what he looks like this for, and he really likes this friend very much, so he still nodded in response, "Okay, then I won't hug it next time." ”
Maybe because her cooking is really delicious, Lu Xiaofeng has come more and more often, Xie Ling can come whenever she should be, and she can't swallow the words back, not to mention that in the face of the cute and explosive little face of the eight-year-old Lu Xiaofeng who has not yet grown, it is too difficult to ask her to say the three words "don't come".
It's not a big deal to bring one more person to eat, but the cost of eating with one more person for a long time is not small.
It is impossible to tell Xie Xing or Lu Xiaofeng about this trouble, on the one hand, she really likes this little ghost and sweet child, on the other hand, Xie Xing has not made any friends at all in the private school, and after so many years, it is only Lu Xiaofeng such a friend, and it is too cruel for Xie Xing to cut off the relationship between the two.
Xie Ling thought about it and still felt that it was better to eat less by himself, and it was always bad to treat children badly.
But at the age of sixteen, before the crossing, she was a high school girl, not to mention that she was still growing her body, and she still needed the necessary nutrients, and she always only ate five points full or made her lose weight quickly.
The first to discover this was naturally Dr. Simon, who saw her every day and was as attentive as dust, "Ah Ling, your face has not been very good recently, is there something difficult about you?" ”
When Chongqi, who was bought by the pastries she took to the hospital, heard this, he even ignored Ximen Fuxue, and hurriedly ran to her side, looking her up and down, and his tone was frightened, "Is Sister Ah Ling sick?" ”
"Uh...... I'm fine. She waved her hand, "It's just that my appetite hasn't been very good lately, so I'll be fine after a while." ”
Dr. Simon noticed that she didn't really want to say anything, and very considerately lifted the stubble, and only said, "Anyway, if there is any difficulty, you can tell me." ”
Xie Ling crossed his fingers and calculated, he couldn't ask the boss for a salary increase after staying in the new unit for less than two months, so he had to grit his teeth and deny, "It's really okay, thank you, Dr. Simon." ”
Just when she was worried about how to solve the current predicament, Xie Xing and Lu Xiaofeng brought back another child.
The child's clothes were more torn than Lu Xiaofeng's, but his eyes were amazingly bright, but he was also very polite, and when he saw her, he obediently said hello, "Hello Sister Ling." ”
Xie Ling could only comfort his brother that it was a good thing that he had new friends while going to cook for them. During the whole cooking process, Lu Xiaofeng and Xie Xing were almost full of words praising her cooking skills to this child, which was extremely noisy, but it made people angry.
It is the most common West Lake vinegar fish and stir-fried cabbage, and she made the whole fish in order to entertain the guests, and the amount is very large, so that it will not be enough to eat.
The child seemed to have not eaten for several days and nights, eating fast, a bowl of rice seemed to be only a matter of a moment, and after eating clean, he still held the bowl and looked at her with eyes: "Sister, is there still any food?" ”
"It's called Sister Ah Ling! Sister is the only one I can call! Xie Xing kicked him under the table.
"You're so lucky, you have a sister who cooks so deliciously." The child looked envious, looked at Xie Ling and gave him another bowl of rice, and showed a smile after taking it, "Sister, I can't come to your house for dinner." ”
Xie Ling: ......
"I'm not like Lu Xiaofeng, I'll give money."
Wow, that's so sweet!
