Today's weather is exceptionally clear, the sun is shining, and white clouds are drifting by; The cool autumn breeze urged the crops to ripen quickly, and the sorghum in the field was gradually blown red with layers of red, and the tall branches on the roadside knew that they were so hoarse, sad, and sad at the moment.

After breakfast, Peach Blossom and Liu Haitao coincidentally got on their bicycles and were on the road to the county seat, and neither of them was silent.

Just when the peach blossom cart went out, the mother-in-law knew that the peach blossom would definitely not tell the naughty child, so as soon as she left with her front foot, Aunt Liu immediately went to call Liu Haitao: "Naughty child has eaten?" Peach Blossom rode away, you hurry up and chase it, otherwise I won't be at ease if she goes to the county alone. ”

"Okay, Auntie, I'll leave right away." After Liu Haitao finished speaking, he rode a few times and caught up with the peach blossoms as soon as he left the village.

On the way to the county seat, people come and go, some know each other, and some don't know each other.

Peach Blossom didn't need to look back, she had already noticed that Liu Haitao was following her, but she didn't want him to follow too closely, and she didn't want people she knew to see it, especially by people in her village, so as not to cause any gossip.

So she rode fast and always wanted to keep a distance from Liu Haitao.

Liu Haitao also seemed to understand the meaning of peach blossoms, so he drove forward slowly without hurrying.

When she arrived at the gate of the county hospital, Peach Blossom looked around and didn't find any acquaintances, so she got out of the car and stopped.

When Liu Haitao arrived, Peach Blossom pulled his face and said, "Don't tell the army about my father's injury." He is a dutiful son, and he knows that his father is injured and he has to die in a hurry. ”

Liu Haitao asked: "Doesn't he know sooner or later?" ”

"When I get home, tell my mother to tell him slowly, maybe it will be better."

"Okay, I got it." Liu Haitao responded.

Peach Blossom told again: "Don't talk too much after you enter the ward, pack up your things and leave first, and then I will take the army with me." ”

"Okay, I got it." Liu Haitao promised again: "Otherwise, this car doesn't need to be saved, save a few cents, I'm watching outside, you go in first, it's not too late for me to go in when I call me, okay?" ”

Peach Blossom hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, let's save the car and go in together." ”

The two of them were at the door of the corridor to the ward, Peach Blossom suddenly stopped, turned her face to Liu Haitao and asked, "I have something I want to ask you, I was on the way back to my parents' house in the first half of last morning, was it you who followed me?" What do you want? ”

Liu Haitao was stunned by Peach Blossom's sudden question: "This ...... This...... You're ......."

"What is it? I ask you if it's you. ”

"Yes, but ......"

"But what? But you didn't have time to start, did you? ”

"No, it was my aunt who asked me to go, she felt that the deep crops, she was not at ease when you left alone, so I was asked to send you, but I felt that the matter of this night had not been explained clearly, and I was afraid that you would misunderstand again, so I was far away from you, and I came back when I saw you enter the village. This is true, I don't believe you will understand it when you ask my aunt when you go back. ”

Of course, Peach Blossom believes that this is true, and this must be the arrangement of her mother-in-law again, only her mother-in-law is so meticulous.

She didn't say anything more, but an inexplicable feeling suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart, I don't know whether it was gratitude or grievance, and crystal tears glistened in her eyes.

She stepped into the hallway, and quickly came to the door of the ward, gently wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and pushed the door into the ward with a steady expression.

Just in time for the doctors and nurses to check the ward, the army had already completed the discharge procedures and was waiting on the hospital bed.

Seeing Peach Blossom and Liu Haitao coming in, Dajun bounced up from the bed, he smiled at Liu Haitao and nodded, "Naughty brother, are you here?" This time I'm delaying you again. ”

"Don't be verbose, hurry up and pack your things and leave." Peach Blossom urged.

Dajun asked, "Why haven't you been here for the past two days?" What are you busy with at home? ”

"I have to do the work at home here, and I have to do the work at my mother's house, anyway, there is no time to be idle. Let's talk about it when we get home. ”

Liu Haitao heard the words of the perfunctory army of peach blossoms, he was afraid that the army would ask him questions and ask questions, and it would be difficult to answer at that time, so he quickly packed up the army's change of clothes, tableware and other items for eating, and said: "I went out first, you go slowly." ”

Liu Haitao walked away with his things, and the army was accompanied by peach blossoms and slowly walked to the door of the hospital, and the army asked, "Why am I a little unhappy when I see the naughty brother today?" ”

"Don't guess, why are people unhappy? Can he listen to the two of us? Really. ”

Peach Blossom knows very well in her heart that what happened between her and Liu Haitao, the army can't know, except for the two of them, the mother-in-law will never reveal half of the truth to her son, judging from the situation encountered these times, because the mother-in-law has her own thoughts and plans, but it's not easy to say clearly. As for my father-in-law's injury, I can't hide it, and I can only take one step at a time.

It was already noon when they returned home, and Aunt Liu had already prepared lunch, she finally looked forward to her son coming home, looking at her son's haggard face and emaciated body, she felt pain in her heart.

And the army entered the house full of joy and asked, "Mother, where is my father?" ”

"Jun'er, your father is not comfortable, he is lying down and falling asleep in the house, there is no big problem."

The army lifted the curtain and looked into the house, and saw that his father was sleeping soundly under the quilt, so he didn't think much about it, so he turned around and asked, "What disease does my father have?" Did he take any medicine? ”

At this time, Liu Haitao hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Auntie, Dajun, you can eat, I'll go back." The captain arranged for me to give the cattle a mile of grass in the second half of the day. ”

"Hey, naughty brother, don't go, wow, let's have a meal together at noon today." Dajun pulled Liu Haitao to sit at the table: "I have heard a long time ago, you are helping with all the work at home, you see that I am not allowed to drink alcohol because of this disease, otherwise I have to have a few drinks with you." Why don't you drink some wine, and I'll accompany you with water instead of wine, okay? ”

Liu Haitao hurriedly excused himself and said: "The army's words are too foreign, what do you mean by 'help'?" I was raised by my uncle and aunt since I was a child, who doesn't know? If it weren't for my uncle and aunt, where would I still have my naughty life? Let's not drink this wine today, your illness will be cured another day, let's have a good drink, is it okay? Liu Haitao's words were a little excited.

As soon as she mentioned drinking, Peach Blossom remembered the situation of drinking that night, her face was red to the root of her ears, and she hurriedly said to the army: "What kind of wine do you drink in the daytime?" Hurry up and eat, people will have to give grass to the cattle in the afternoon. ”

Peach Blossom's tone of not sour or sweet made Liu Haitao very uncomfortable to hear, the key is that after she said the word "people", even Aunt Liu, who was lying on the edge of the pot and serving rice, also heard the mystery, Aunt Liu understood in her heart that Peach Blossom was still gambling with naughty children.

Aunt Liu said with a smile after finishing the meal: "Yes, naughty is not an outsider's politeness, you can eat quickly." ”

Aunt Liu turned around to enter the house, but the army said, "Yes, what does my father eat?" I'm going to see my father. ”

Aunt Liu hurriedly said: "You eat together first, I see if your father is awake, will he eat something?" ”

"Let's go, I haven't said a word to my father yet." The army was just about to enter the house, but was stopped by Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu glanced at Peach Blossom and sighed and said, "Mother and Peach Blossom originally planned to tell you after lunch, but I always thought that your illness was just better, and I was afraid that you would be in a hurry, so I dared to tell you the truth at this time." ”

Dajun heard his mother's words and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with my father?" I'll go in and have a look. ”

The army opened the door curtain and arrived in the inner room, at this time, Liu Laohan had already woken up, opened his eyes and saw his son's army coming in, he asked: "Is the army back?" ”

Dajun hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Alas, I was kicked by a mule yesterday, and today I am much better, it's okay." Liu Laohan tried his best to hide his pain.

Aunt Liu sighed on the side: "Your father and son are injured and sick, and our family will be supported by peach blossoms in the future." ”

"Auntie, if you have any strength to do it in the future, I can do any work."

"I can't stop the trouble...... naughty brother, I'm a waste, and the family affairs depend on you......" Dajun said a little choked.

Peach Blossom urged: "Okay, okay, let's hurry up and eat, it's not too early, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later." ”

Aunt Liu held back the sadness in her heart and said: "Peach Blossom is right, the days are still long, don't say anything now, hurry up and eat." ”

The family ate together with their own hearts, but no one wanted to say anything more, only heard the sound of the dishes and chopsticks clattering.

By this time, the sun had begun to turn to the west, and the busy people began their afternoon work again.
