An energy-saving lamp emits a soft light. Sprinkle not very strong light into the room.

A few pairs of children's shoes and a pair of outdated women's sandals are neatly arranged on the shoe rack at the door.

There is a simple sofa in the small living room of about ten square meters, which is very old, but it is very clean, and it is covered with a white sofa towel. A white casserole on the coffee table has black-brown residues of Chinese medicine.

A pot of small jasmine flowers is quietly blooming against the edge of the sofa, although there is a faint fragrance, but it is difficult to hide the smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

Xiao Momo, who walked in closely, pointed to the wall and said with a smile: "Sister, this is my father, is he handsome?" ”

Several women looked at Xiao Momo's hand, and on the slightly yellowed wall opposite the sofa hung a black-framed photograph of a man in his forties with a rude face.

Bai Ruoyun's body trembled slightly, took Song Wenjuan's hand and whispered, "Wenjuan, Xiao Momo's father is already ......"

Song Wenjuan's eyes were a little moist, and she bit her lip and nodded.

Before the three of them sat down, they only heard a weak voice from the bedroom: "Mo Mo, please sit down first, pour some water to drink, and my mother will come out." ”

Before the words fell, the door opened gently, and a woman in her forties walked out of the room, with a slender figure and a delicate face, but her face looked pale and haggard. Wearing a set of black tight-fitting thermal underwear, she outlines her slightly bulging breasts and her waist is thin. A pair of long straight legs were a little weak and trembling. However, it can still be seen that if this woman is not seriously ill, she must be a graceful beauty.

The woman held the door with one hand, smiled vigorously, and said softly: "I'm sorry, it's very difficult for me to get out of bed because I'm weak, and I've neglected a few people." ”

Bai Ruoyun hurriedly waved her hand, frowned slightly, and said lightly: "It's okay, it's a few of us who disturbed your rest." ”

The woman walked to the living room with difficulty, sat on a chair, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, I don't know how to thank you for sending my family Momo back so late, sit down." ”

"We don't have anything to do, so let's take a walk." Song Wenjuan said softly.

The three women sat on the sofa, Xiao Momo came to them with a big cold cup, Bai Ruoyun hurriedly leaned over to catch the cold cup, and said to Xiao Momo: "Little sister, sisters are not thirsty now, thank you." With that, she gently placed the cup on the coffee table.

Xiao Momo smiled and said, "Okay, when you are thirsty, I will pour you water to drink." ”

The woman coughed lightly a few times and said with a smile: "You kid, you are really ignorant, my sister has to pour water if she is not thirsty." ”

Bai Ruoyun hurriedly said: "There's really no need to be so polite, Xiao Momo is quite sensible." ”

Xiao Momo ran to the woman's side, stretched out her little hand and touched the woman's forehead, and then touched her little brain, and said with a happy smile: "Mom, don't you have a fever?" ”

The woman nodded and said, "Mom is almost ready, I can go out with you in a few days, you go write for a while, and Mom chats with her sisters." Xiao Momo nodded and walked into the bedroom.

The woman took a few deep breaths and said to them, "I'm sorry, our house doesn't smell very good." ”

"It's okay, the smell of Chinese medicine smells very pleasant." Erin, who had not spoken, said with a smile.

Only then did the woman notice Irene's face, and said with a slight surprise: "You are a friend from abroad, you speak Chinese so well!" ”

"Thank you, I'm also trying to say, why don't you go to the hospital when you're sick? Will your doctor come to your home and see you? Erin asked, puzzled.

The woman smiled helplessly and said lightly: "I'm not seriously ill, I can eat some herbs at home." ”

Women have their own unspeakable secrets, and she doesn't want to let foreigners know about the phenomenon that it is difficult to see a doctor and expensive to see a doctor.

Bai Ruoyun seemed to see her thoughts, and hurriedly interjected: "I guess these medicines were caught by Xiao Momo for you, right?" ”

The woman nodded and smiled, "Yes, I gave her a prescription, and she went to catch it, this child is a little adult." ”

"Will you prescribe?" Erin asked, "Then you must be a doctor?" ”

The woman shook her head and whispered, "I used to be a doctor for a while, but now I'm not." ”

"Why?" Bai Ruoyun asked.

"I studied Chinese medicine with my teacher for more than ten years, and I met Momo's father when I was on the side. Later, because he married Mo Mo's father, he married here from Dingcheng, and he didn't have any acquaintances here, so he couldn't go to the hospital. The woman smiled wryly.

"Are you from Dingcheng?" Bai Ruoyun asked with some surprise.

"Well, the native of Dingcheng, because Mo Mo is small, he hasn't been back for four or five years." The woman's eyes were slightly red.

"I'm also from Dingcheng, we are fellow villagers!" Bai Ruoyun stood up and walked up to the woman excitedly.

The woman struggled to get up from the chair, tears flowed down, took Bai Ruoyun's hand and said, "It's really good, I just felt that your voice was extraordinarily close." ”

Bai Ruoyun asked the woman to sit on the chair and said with some emotion: "Do you mother and daughter live together?" ”

The woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled, pulled Bai Ruoyun and said, "Is it okay to call you sister?" ”

"Hmm." Bai Ruoyun nodded.

The woman glanced at the picture hanging on the wall and shook her head weakly, "He's a good man and a good teacher." Last year, when he was teaching in the mountains, he happened to encounter a major earthquake, and he used his body to prop up the classroom door and directed more than 20 of his students to escape smoothly, but ...... But he remained in his beloved classroom forever.

He has been gone for more than a year, and I have been hiding from Mo Mo, thinking that she will tell her the truth when she grows up in a few years.

This child has been close to her father since she was a child, and if she sues her now, I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it......" The woman said this, and she could no longer restrain the love in her heart, and choked back tears from her eyes.

Bai Ruoyun trembled her shoulders, one hand caressed the woman's shoulder, and the other hand covered her mouth hard, but tears couldn't stop flowing out.

Song Wenjuan and Erin were also deeply moved, holding each other's hands and crying.

After a while, the woman seemed to remember something, and said to Bai Ruoyun: "Sister, let's stop crying, let the child hear it badly, sister will get you braised eggs!" ”

Bai Ruoyun gently pressed the woman: "Sister, don't use it yet, you are still very weak, don't be busy." ”

The woman sat on the chair and smiled slightly: "It's okay, I just can't go out to see the wind, it's okay to walk around the room." You don't know, the braised eggs I made are added with dozens of Chinese herbs, which have a good tonic effect, and I will give you a taste. ”
