"Sister, otherwise, you go to Aunt Niu's house to sit for a while, and I'll pick you up later." Zhou Xiaoquan looked at Zhou Xiaoan worriedly, her face became even more sallow all the way, and she couldn't hold on.

There is no need to look back, Zhou Xiaoan also knows that everyone in the courtyard is paying attention to this side, she shook her head, "It's okay, let's go, enter the house!" "Mrs. Wang didn't dare to do anything to her today.

As soon as he stepped into the house, Zhou Xiaoan blinked his eyes to get used to the dim light in the room.

Zhou's house is a south room of about 20 square meters, sitting in the south and facing north, almost all year round, the sun is less in winter, and the light in the house is not good.

In addition, the house is cut and high-low beds and hanging buildings, and there is a coal shed outside the window, and there are one-person-high cardboard boxes next to the windows inside.

As soon as Zhou Xiaoan glanced at the room, Zhou Xiaoling ran over and grabbed her, "Second sister, are you okay?" I'm in a hurry! ”

Zhou Xiao'an looked at this sister with a stumble body, a pale face, a pair of big eyes misty and watery, looking at you with concern and concern, even she felt pity, she was really a little girl who I saw and couldn't help but feel weak.

"Second sister, don't be angry with grandma, she is also distressed cousin. Back then, if it weren't for ......" Zhou Xiaoling glanced at Mrs. Wang and swallowed the words behind. Then he took Zhou Xiaoan's hand and gave her a look, "You go to your uncle's house to sit for a while, and I will persuade you to come back after I have persuaded my grandmother." ”

Zhou Xiaoan blinked, glanced at Zhou Xiaoling in front of him seriously, and shook his head very dryly, "I'm tired, I have to lie down for a while." ”

After speaking, he didn't look at Zhou Xiaoling's worried look, and didn't care about what she wanted to say, and walked directly into the house.

The south room of the Zhou family lives in a family of more than ten people for three generations, and the degree of crowding can be imagined. Wang Lamei and Mrs. Wang took over the job of pasting cartons from the street carton factory again, and the bed and floor were full of sundries and cartons, and there was no place to put their feet.

The room is divided into two parts with thin plywood, and the inner room is two double beds side by side, and two husbands and wives, Zhou Xiaozhuan and Zhou Xiaozhu.

There is a big bed and a bunk bed outside, Wang Lamei takes her two granddaughters and a little grandson to live in the big bed, Zhou Xiaoling and her uncle's cousin Wang Caixia live in the bunk bed, and Zhou Xiaoquan makes a hanging tower less than one meter wide and hangs it on the wall.

Zhou Xiaoan walked directly to the bunk bed farthest away from Mrs. Wang, no one looked at it, turned a deaf ear to Mrs. Wang's scolding, and sat directly on the bed.

It was the neatest part of the room, with an old-fashioned mattress and no sheets, a homespun lining sewn into a cotton tire with a few patches, but clean, a junior high school math book on the pillow, and half-calculated scratch paper next to it.

This is Zhou Xiaoling's bed, the only place in the family where sundries and cartons are not placed, and the thickest and cleanest set of bedding in the family is spread.

Zhou Xiaoling is in the third year of junior high school entrance examination this year, because she was too hard to work hard and fell ill and missed the exam, Wang Lamei decided to let her repeat the exam for another year next year, and she was usually not allowed to do any work, only let her concentrate on studying.

Zhou Xiaoan was so tired that he couldn't care about anything, so he just lay on the bed.

"My book!" Zhou Xiaoling didn't expect Zhou Xiaoan to sit directly on her bed, let alone lie down without saying a word, and cried out without controlling her emotions.

The whole family knows that she loves to be clean, and no matter how busy Wang Lamei's paste box is, it will not occupy her bed, nor will she let others sit on her bed.

Zhou Xiaoan walked over only a few steps, and before anyone could react, she had already lay down.

"What kind of corpse are you!? Hurry up! Wang Lamei threw down the half-pasted carton in her hand and was about to pull Zhou Xiao'an, "Xiaoling's mattress was just dismantled today (dismantled and washed)!" You're lying down! ”

Zhou Xiaoquan rushed to the side of the bed faster than anyone else, "Sister! What's wrong with you? What's uncomfortable? ”

Zhou Xiaoan has always been suffering and tired, and when he fell down in front of others, he suddenly lay down without saying a word, and Zhou Xiaoquan panicked.

Wang Lamei only then remembered that Zhou Xiaoan was still a patient covered in injuries, and the scolding that came to her mouth could no longer be spoken, and she sat down heavily to paste the cardboard box.

Zhou Xiaoling hurriedly walked over and patted Mrs. Wang's back to give her a smile, "Grandma, don't be angry, my eldest cousin is so filial, if he knows that you are angry underground, he will definitely feel distressed."

Do you remember, my eldest uncle was angry with you, and my eldest cousin jumped up and put his head on her stomach, when he was still a child......"

Mrs. Wang was poked to the tip of her heart, and she cried out with a wow, scolding Zhou Xiaoan while crying.

This time it was really crying, tears and snot came down together, babbling inarticulately, gray hair also fell out, the old Long Zhong looked old and pitiful, seeing that Wang Lamei also had red eyes, threw the carton and glared at Zhou Xiao'an, and there was no more distress just now.

Zhou Xiao'an didn't see it, so he asked Zhou Xiaoquan to pour her a bowl of water, and after drinking it, he asked Zhou Xiaoling, "My whole body hurts, I can't sit still, lie on your bed for a while, okay?" ”

If it didn't work, she lay down, and spontaneously took off her shoes and covered them with a freshly washed quilt.

Zhou Xiaoling pursed her colorless lips, and spoke as gently and considerately as ever, "Second sister, you lie down, it's okay, they say that severely malnourished patients are prone to hepatitis, I'm not afraid, the disease is most likely to be transmitted to children and the elderly, and I'm not afraid to cover a quilt with you to eat in a pot." ”

Ma Lan, who had been hiding in the room and preparing to watch the excitement, couldn't sit still, so he rushed out, "Dabao and Erbao are still young!" It's okay if you don't help your aunt, you still bring it home if you have an infectious disease, what kind of heart is this? ”

She originally didn't agree with Zhou Xiao'an to go home to live, but after discussing it with Zhou Xiaozhu, the uncle would definitely have to give her money to see her, maybe there would be something good, she wanted to come back to live, and that thing had to stay.

But now she has to speak, what is hepatitis? That's tuberculosis! Contagious disease! And there is no cure, if you get it, you will die sooner or later!

Zhou Xiaoling hurriedly clarified, "Second sister-in-law, the doctor said that it was easy to get, but he didn't say that he would have to get it, maybe my second sister is not sick......"

"Look at her face! Sallow! It's not hepatitis, is it?! Ma Lan rushed over and was about to pull Zhou Xiaoan, Zhou Xiaoquan blocked her with all his might, and the two were about to start.

Zhou Xiaoan lay on the bed steadily, without moving, "Second sister-in-law, it was my uncle who asked me to go home to live, if you have any opinions, he will come soon, you tell him to go." ”

Malan stopped in a moment. Zhou Yuehai has the absolute right to speak in this family, although he has never exercised it, but he takes money to support his family, who dares to refute his words?

The most important thing is that his identity and momentum are also so strong that people dare not refute them, especially Ma Lan is still asking him for a small abacus in his heart, and he is even more in awe of him.

Ma Lan had nothing to say, so Zhou Xiaoan explained to her slowly, "Second sister-in-law, I don't have hepatitis, and the doctor can't let me be discharged from the hospital so quickly." Then he took out the discharge certificate in his pocket and showed her, "What kind of disease am I written on it, don't worry, it will never be contagious." ”

Zhou Xiaoquan angrily stuffed the piece of paper to Ma Lan, sat on the edge of Zhou Xiaoan's bed and sulked, and couldn't help yelling at Zhou Xiaoling, "I don't know what you're blind ****?!" ”

Zhou Xiaoan also looked at Zhou Xiaoling, "Zhou Xiaoling, you didn't go to see me, which doctor said I had hepatitis?" ”

Zhou Xiaoling glanced at Wang Lamei aggrievedly, her eyes were full of tears, with her pale face and thin body, Chu Chu was pitiful, "Second sister, don't be angry with me, it's not that I don't want to see you, I'm so worried that I can't sleep all night, but my grandmother has been coughing for the past two days, and I don't worry about her ......being alone."

"I'm sleepy," Zhou Xiao'an interrupted her, "let me sleep for a while." He turned around and gave Zhou Xiaoling the back of his head.

From the moment she entered the door, Zhou Xiaoling pit her one pit after another, which was completely different from the considerate, sensible and caring sister in Zhou Xiaoan's memory.

Fortunately, she is not the same Zhou Xiaoan anymore.

Looking at Zhou Xiaoling with the calm attitude of a bystander, it is quite easy to see the difference in many things she has done, but Zhou Xiaoan used to be obsessed with sisterhood and was blinded by family affection.

She is not as good at talking as Zhou Xiaoling, and she doesn't have the ability to cry when she wants to cry when she is wronged, but she never lets herself suffer, this is just the beginning, let's wait and see what happens in the future.

Zhou Xiao'an pulled the quilt on her body, let herself fall asleep quickly, Zhou Yuehai was coming at night, she had more important things to do.
