Western suburbs, Li family. ,!

Under the scorching sun, Boss Li sat on the steps of the door dejectedly, and in front of him was the big jujube tree in the yard, which he could remember growing in.

Boss Li can't remember what this tree looked like when he was a child, but he only remembers that when he was a child, many dates would grow on the jujube tree, and the three brothers couldn't eat them all, and now, the jujube tree is old, and it is no longer so leafy, it can't bloom many flowers every year, and naturally it can't bear many fruits.

"Alas......"

Boss Li sighed, from the situation of this tree, he thought of himself and his family. Ring this year, he has been in this world for forty years. I still remember that when he was young, this courtyard was so lively, and those uncles and uncles used to be so tall in his eyes. But now, he felt that he was old, and his body was obviously not as good as before, and the uncles who once made him look up to him had turned to dust.

There was a cough from the old man Li in the house, and the courtyard was cold, since the loss to the wild bull, few people came here, but fortunately, there was the cough of the uncle and the sound of cicadas on the trees, otherwise it would be as cold and silent as a haunted house.

My uncle's health is getting worse and worse, he used to cough every half an hour, but now he coughs almost every two or three minutes. Is this the tragic end of a generation of heroes?

Boss Li smiled, laughing a little miserably, over the years, when people mentioned the western suburbs, their Li family was almost synonymous with the western suburbs, and now, everything is different. With the passage of time, people will get old, and iron-clad men will have a day of crutches.

The Li family can't dominate the western suburbs forever!

Boss Li has nothing to do these days and thinks a lot.

At noon, Li Laoer, who was wearing big pants and shirtless, carried a fish basket into the house. He glanced at the eldest brother sitting on the steps, since the western suburbs were no longer surnamed Li, Boss Li has been silent and decadent, like a pessimistic philosopher.

"Big brother, hey, I had a good harvest today. Catch a lot of fish, come and help, kill the fish, today at noon, let's try the whole whole fish feast! ”

Beads of sweat flowed down Li Laoer's bronzed skin. Due to the exposure to the scorching sun. There were already a few broken skins on his back, and the new white skin was particularly eye-catching.

Boss Li raised his head, glanced at Elder Li with blank eyes, and snorted. Keep thinking about it.

Li Lao Er was not angry, smiled slightly, leaned the fishing rod against the wall, carried the fish basket to the pool, and hummed a small song to scrape the fish scales.

Lin Dong arrived at Li's house shortly after Li Lao Er arrived home. He got out of the car two miles away, braved the scorching sun, and walked to Li's house.

"What are you doing here?"

As soon as Lin Dong entered the door, Boss Li suddenly raised his head as if he felt the yin wind behind him, and slowly stood up, his eyes showing a fierce light, as if he wanted to kill someone.

Li Lao squatted on the ground and scraped the fish scales, and when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at the door. When he saw Lin Dong coming, he was also stunned, and he didn't understand why Lin Dong would come to the door at this time.

"Let's take a look at Uncle." Lin Dong lit up the tonic in his hand and said with a smile. As soon as he opened his mouth, he called Old Cripple Li Uncle and was very humble. Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, the Li brothers didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Li Lao Er washed his hands, walked over to Lin Dong, and said lightly. "Let's come into the house and talk."

Lin Dong followed him and entered the hall. None of the Li brothers invited him to sit down. Lin Dong is not surprised, the Li family brothers did not blow him out, it was already better than he expected.

Boss Li clasped his arms in front of his chest, his face was cold, and his eyes were very unfriendly when he looked at Lin Dong. Li Lao Er looked more indifferent, and there was no sadness or joy on his face.

"I heard that my uncle's illness was serious, so I went to Wumen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall to find Wu Lao and prescribe some medicines and supplements, hoping to help my uncle's illness."

Lin Dong handed over the bag in his hand, and Li Lao Er reached out to take it.

"Who? cough cough ......" The cough of Old Man Li came from the room again, one after another, endlessly. "Uncle, it's me, Lin Dong has come to see you." Lin Dong said loudly.

"Ahem, the distinguished guest is here, the old man is rude, let me change my clothes for a while, and come out to meet the guest later." After the old cripple Li finished speaking, he coughed violently again.

Li Lao Er glanced at Ambassador Li Lao and asked him to take care of his uncle, who had been bedridden for several days, and said that he wanted to get up at this moment, because he was afraid that he would not be able to do it.

Boss Li agreed, nodded and walked towards Elder Li's room.

There were only two people left in the room, Lin Dong and Li Laoer, the two looked at each other, and no one spoke first, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

"I'm afraid you're not here to deliver medicine to my uncle, are you?" Li Lao Er finally opened his mouth, although he knew that Lin Dong must have other purposes for coming here, but he couldn't guess Lin Dong's actual purpose. In his opinion, he became a king and lost a king, but looking at Lin Dong's appearance, it didn't look like he was here to show off his might.

Lin Dong smiled: "Second Li, I have always felt that the relationship between the two of us is very delicate, saying that we are enemies, but sometimes we are friends. ”

Li Lao Er was still expressionless, thinking that Lin Dong should have a request for him to make friends with him at the moment, but what help could he give Lin Dong as a loser?

Old man Li walked into the hall with the support of Boss Li, his face was gray and red, which was very bad. Lin Dong only glanced at it, and knew that Old Cripple Li should die soon.

"Uncle......" Lin Dong greeted him, grabbed the hand of the old man Li, and saw the appearance of the old man Li like this, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour.

Old Li Lao's face was dejected, like a late autumn leaf, and he smiled at Lin Dong, "Sit down, the two brothers are not sensible, don't take it to heart." ”

After the guests and hosts sat down, the old lame man Li said: "A few days ago, you married the daughter of the Red Army, and I was sick in bed, so I couldn't go to congratulate me. The eldest and second brother are in trouble again, Xiaolin, don't be angry. ”

Lin Dong said: "Uncle, why am I angry about this, on the contrary, I have to ask for your understanding, I am really busy preparing for the wedding these days, so I can't come to visit your old man in time." Lin Dong was really frightened in his heart, he was free today, and he specially came to the door to ask for guilt. ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then they got down to business. Old Li was sick in bed for a long time and lacked energy, so after chatting for a while, he retreated to the room and asked the two Li brothers to accompany Lin Dong one by one.

"Lin Dong, let's talk about serious things." Li Lao Er said.

Boss Li stared at the copper bell with big eyes, and looked at Lin Dong with the smell of gunpowder, thinking that this kid actually dared to go to his door alone, if he said a word and a half that made him listen to the ear, he would regret coming here!
