Chapter 544: Sweet Request
Long Wu's mother said that those who serve as soldiers are good people, and Ning Fei didn't dare to agree with this sentence.
Thinking of Long Wu's death and the sacrifice of the Dragon Blood Brigade, he felt that Long Wu's mother was really a smart woman, and how connotative it was to see how sarcastic people were!
"Hey, actually, squad leader Tang is really a good person." Long Wu's mother wiped the beads of sweat on her head, looked in a certain direction, and said, "He knew that my daughter had leukemia, so he paid me 100,000 yuan himself, and this small restaurant was also the money he gave, saying that it was a condolence money from the army, I knew that he lied to me, and there was a young man in our village who went to be a soldier, and then sacrificed, so he took 20,000 yuan of condolence money." β
"Twenty thousand? Human life is so worthless? Ning Fei was stunned.
"I know there's more than that, but it's good to get 20,000 after all the layers of allocation." Long Wu's mother glanced at Ning Fei and explained. When she said this, the tone she used was not anger or helplessness, but it was so natural, which made Ning Fei suddenly feel ridiculous.
What kind of person did you protect in the first place?
"Auntie, can you take me to see my sister?" Ning Fei said with a smile, he tried hard to make his smile more natural.
"Huh? Of course! Knowing that Ning Fei and his son were comrades-in-arms before, Long Wu's mother had no defenses against Ning Fei, and said with a smile, "Her father is still taking care of her in the hospital, and there are no guests anyway, so I'll close the door!" β
With that, she walked into the kitchen and said, "The third child, I'll get off work today, you can go back first!" β
"Oh! Yes! The man, who was in his forties, was wearing a dirty overalls and said with a smile.
"He's a fellow villager of ours, and he's helping out at our restaurant now." As if she could see that Ning Fei had doubts, Long Wu's mother explained with a smile.
Ning Fei nodded and did not speak.
Closing the door of the hotel, the two walked to the side of the road, Ning Fei beckoned, stopped a taxi, Long Wu's mother waved her hand and said, "Otherwise, let's take the bus, right?" It's a bit far from the hospital, and if you take a taxi, you won't be able to get off without 40 yuan. β
"Auntie, it's okay, I've got the money with me." Ning Fei smiled, just at this time, a taxi stopped in front of them, Ning Fei first opened the door of the back compartment, let Long Wu's mother sit in, and then sat in the co-pilot.
In the car, Ning Fei also learned from Long Wu's mother that her name was Zhu Caixia, her husband's name was Zhang Wei, and the family was from the countryside, that is, with the help of Tang Hu, she came to the county seat and opened a small restaurant.
But I didn't expect that there were unforeseen circumstances in the sky, as if God destined this family to have many disasters, the son died on the battlefield, and the daughter now has leukemia.
If the two hard-raised children are gone, what is the point of their lives? This is the true thoughts of Zhu Caixia and Zhang Yong, the pain of losing their son has relieved them for several days, but they have not completely erased the scars in their hearts, and now their daughter has such a thing, which has almost put them in a desperate situation.
The hospital was indeed not close to Zhu Caixia's residence, and when she came to the hospital, Ning Fei followed Zhu Caixia into a ward.
This is an ordinary ward that has reached what time it is, there are eight beds in it, and all of them are inhabited by patients, there are old people, middle-aged men, and two women, Ning Fei saw Zhang Tian's hospital bed at a glance, and he found that Zhang Tian and her brother did look a little similar.
"Mom!" Seeing Zhu Caixia, Zhang Tian, who was lying on the hospital bed, screamed sweetly.
Zhang Tian is only ten years old this year, and he looks a little thin, but his skin is fair, and his watery eyes look very cute, but he is sick, and his hair looks yellow and a little thin.
"Are you here?" Sitting next to Zhang Tian's bed was a middle-aged man, who should be Long Wu's father, his eyes were still bloodshot, he should not have slept well and was overly tired.
After speaking, his gaze fell on Ning Fei's body again, and he asked curiously, "Who is this?" β
"He is Xiao Yong's former comrade-in-arms!" Zhu Caixia explained.
"Xiao Yong's former comrades-in-arms?" Zhang Wei frowned, turned his face away and didn't speak.
Ning Fei is a person who knows how to observe words and feelings, although Zhang Wei has never said anything, but Ning Fei can see that the other party does not seem to have a good impression of him.
Zhu Caixia glanced at Ning Fei and whispered: "His father is like this, all these years, he has always thought that the army killed Xiao Yong, so ah, he has no good impression of some soldiers." β
Ning Fei smiled: "I can understand. β
Zhang Yong died on the battlefield, although this is a heroic act in theory, and the family should understand, but Zhang Wei and Zhu Caixia are Zhang Yong's own sons, and the son is not there, and they have to say that they can understand, their son is good, and they are not angry...... Isn't that all?
"Big brother, are you my brother's friend?" Zhang Tian blinked at Ning Fei with wide eyes and asked with a smile.
She doesn't seem to feel that she is seriously ill, but feels sad and even desperate, such a mentality is very good, of course, it may be because Zhang Tian is still young now, so she doesn't know so much, and her parents didn't tell her the truth.
"Kid's father, come out with me, let's go pay the medical bills for the past few days." Zhu Caixia said to Zhang Wei, "By the way, ask the doctor how the child's condition is." β
"Yes, good!" Zhang Wei stood up.
"That'...... Ning Fei, can you help us stay with Tian Tian for a while? Zhu Caixia looked at Ning Fei and said earnestly.
"Absolutely." Ning Fei said with a smile.
Zhu Caixia hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Tian Tian just thought that she had a relatively strict cold, so you better not sue him for a good ......."
Ning Fei put away his smile and nodded sternly: "I understand." β
Zhu Caixia smiled reassuringly and walked out with Zhang Wei.
After the husband and wife left, Ning Fei sat in Zhang Wei's previous position, he looked at Zhang Tian, and he didn't know what to say, a little embarrassed.
Zhang Tian also seemed to see Ning Fei's embarrassment, and showed a sweet smile at Ning Fei, and said, "Big brother, isn't your relationship with my brother very good?" β
"Yes, very good." Ning Fei said with a smile.
"Can you tell me about him in the army? I think he must be very handsome in a military uniform! Zhang Tian said with a grin.
Ning Fei was silent for a moment, and simply said some interesting things that Long Wu did when he was in the Dragon Blood Brigade, and Zhang Tian laughed.
"Brother is so fun!" Zhang Tian laughed, laughed and laughed, and stopped, his eyebrows were full of sorrow, if it weren't for Ning Fei seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that a teenage girl would have such an adult's sadness, "It's a pity that my brother is gone, if my brother is here, he will definitely be able to protect me well, don't let me be bullied, and will buy me a lot of delicious food, those little gangsters won't go to our restaurant to find trouble with my parents." β
Ning Fei was stunned for a moment and asked, "Will you and your parents be bullied?" β
"Yes! It's just a few gangsters on the other side of the street, who like to bully our family, and ask my parents to give them money every month! Zhang Tian mentioned this, quite angry, and said, "My parents also called the police, but the police uncle knew those bad guys, and he didn't arrest them at all, and last time they started to beat my father, my mother cried several times." β
Ning Fei frowned, and his face was completely gloomy.
After a long time, he took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and touched Zhang Tian's head, and said, "Don't worry, I'll be your brother in the future, okay?" I'll buy you a lot of delicious food, and when you're well, I'll take you to play, and I'll teach you a lesson to those bad guys, okay? β
"Really?" Zhang Tian was still a child after all, and when he heard Ning Fei say this, the previous unhappiness and sadness disappeared in a blink of an eye, and was replaced by a look of joy.
"Of course it's true!" Ning Fei assured.
Zhang Tian first laughed for a while, and then his eyes dimmed again: "But, I'm already dying." β
Ning Fei was stunned for a moment, his face shocked.
Zhang Tian glanced at Ning Fei and smiled bitterly: "Actually, I already knew, although my parents didn't tell me, but the aunt in the bed next door to me told me before, and persuaded me to be strong, I will be very strong, my parents think I don't know, I don't want them to know, it's good." After speaking, she looked at Ning Fei cautiously and said, "Big brother, can you help me keep it secret?" β
Ning Fei's heart seemed to be stung by something, looking at Zhang Tian's serious expression, Ning Fei didn't speak for a long time, he felt like his throat was blocked by something, and even breathing became a little difficult.
I don't know how long it took him to ease up, and said with a serious face: "Tiantian, don't worry, as long as the big brother is here, you will definitely be fine!" When you're ready, I'll take you to the amusement park, and we'll buy whatever you want to eat! β
Zhang Tian just smiled, she didn't seem to take Ning Fei's words seriously, she knew her condition very well, and she also knew her family background, she was just because Ning Fei was comforting her.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Tian opened his mouth and asked, "Big brother, can you promise me one thing?" β
"Huh?" Ning Fei was stunned for a moment, and said with some curiosity, "What's the matter?" β
"After I die, you will often go to my parents' restaurant to eat, so that they can make more money, okay?" Zhang Tian's words seemed a little naΓ―ve, but they once again made Ning Fei's heart twitch violently.
