Chapter 24: Fighting the Edge

Chapter 24: Playing Sharp

Li Jiancheng is familiar with the role of masks, especially the SARS epidemic that swept the world in 2002, which once sold masks out of stock.

But Li Jiancheng couldn't say this, so he said with a smile:

"Mother, there is a saying, there is no road in the world, and when there are more people, it becomes a road, I don't know if you agree with this."

This is a famous sentence written by Mr. Lu Xun, the founder of modern Chinese literature and a writer, in the article "Hometown".

can be remembered by everyone and praised by everyone, which naturally has its charm and truth.

Even if you get the Sui and Tang dynasties more than a thousand years ago, it is very convincing.

When Dou Hui heard what Li Jiancheng said, he couldn't help but be touched, it sounded very straightforward and simple, but it made people think about it.

Seeing that Dou Hui's face flashed thoughtfully, Li Jiancheng immediately said: "Mother, we haven't tried this mask yet, you can take a look at it when it is made, and then it's not too late to decide." ”

Dou Hui thought that even if he tried anyway, it would be harmless, in case it was useful, he nodded and said, "Nacheng, go back and let Aunt Gu go to you, what do you do to her." ”

When Li Xuanba heard it, he said anxiously: "Mother, let the eldest brother talk about it now, I want to know." When he spoke, he first looked at Dou Hui, and then at Li Jiancheng.

Without waiting for Li Jiancheng to speak, Dou Hui took a step forward and said: "What's the hurry, even if you make it, you have to let others try it before you can use it." ”

Li Jiancheng immediately said at this time: "Mother, in fact, the third brother's health is still quite good, as long as he exercises up, he will only get better and better." ”

Dou Hui hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed, looked at him deeply, and said, "That's right, but you should also pay attention." "It's a euphemism for expressing his thoughts.

Li Xuanba was already sensitive in his heart, but he still felt the difference between his mother and eldest brother, and immediately said, "Mother, I will pay attention." ”

Li Jiancheng changed the topic with a smile when he heard this: "Third brother, when the mask is made, I will show it to you as soon as possible, your task now is to rest well and recover from your illness as soon as possible." Okay, now that today's story is over, I'll go back first. ”

After saying this, Li Jiancheng began to put on his shoes, and took the opportunity of bowing his head to pull Dou Hui's placket.

Dou Hui understood that Li Jiancheng had something to say, and originally she also wanted to ask Li Jiancheng why he used his good health to encourage Li Xuanba just now, so she touched Li Xuanba's head, and then said: "It seems that there will be no more high fever tonight, go to sleep quickly, it will get better faster." ”

After speaking, he watched Li Xuanba lie down, covered him with the quilt, and then put on his shoes and went to bed.

Li Jiancheng had already dressed up at this time, talking to Luliu outside, telling her to take care of Li Xuanba's precautions; When he saw Dou Hui come out, he said:

"Mother, you didn't sleep well yesterday, I see that the temperature of the third brother is not high, you better go back today and have a good rest, don't tire yourself out again."

Dou Hui nodded, he didn't sleep well all night last night, and he had to deal with family affairs during the day, but he took a nap for less than half an hour at noon.

In the evening, Li Xuanba had a fever, she was worried that he would have a high fever at night, so she didn't take care of herself, and now seeing that Li Xuanba was fine, her heart was relieved, and fatigue struck.

So, she nodded and said to Qingzhi, the maid who was waiting beside her, "You can stay here at night, or take a nap with the green willow." However, if there is any situation, come back to me immediately. ”

Qingzhi answered, waited for Dou Hui to put on the big hat, and said, "Madam, it's night outside, I'll go back with you with the lantern, and I'll come back later." ”

Li Jiancheng immediately said to Qingzhi: "You don't have to toss, I'll just send my mother back." After speaking, he stepped forward and held Dou Hui's arm, and said with a smile: "Mother, let's go." ”

Li Xi had already cleverly lit the lantern at this time, and was waiting outside the door.

After seeing Li Jiancheng helping Dou Hui out, he took half a step ahead and took the road ahead.

After taking a few steps, Dou Hui asked Li Jian, "What do you want to say to me?" ”

"Mother, don't you want to ask me why I said that the third brother's health is good?" Li Jiancheng asked rhetorically.

"I originally wanted to go back and talk to you about it, but now that you talk about it, let's talk about it, since you know that Saburo is not in good health, why do you want to talk like that?" Dou Hui didn't mean to blame, it was the tone of talking about things.

"Mother, if I don't say it, you probably won't be able to sleep well, as soon as I say let you go back to rest, you should go down, don't you just want to know the reason why I did this?!" Li Jiancheng said with a smile.

A smile flashed in Dou Hui's eyes, and he raised his hand and tapped Li Jiancheng's forehead and said, "You know how ...... you are, okay, what kind of trick are we playing." ”

Speaking of this, her voice was darkened: "Saburo's frailty was brought out of his mother's womb, and it was I, the mother, who was sorry for him and didn't give birth to him as healthy as you. ”

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he instantly understood why Dou Hui lost his usual transparency when dealing with things about Li Xuanba, it turned out to be because of this deep guilt.

Li Jiancheng knew from his obsession that Li Xuanba was sixteen years old, when he came back from worshipping Buddha, he was drenched in a light rain and was killed by lobar pneumonia caused by fever.

When Li Jiancheng listened to his obsession talking about this matter, he felt that Li Xuanba's body was weaker than Lin Daiyu's, and he fell when the wind blew, otherwise how could he be sick with an umbrella and drenched in the rain.

And when he saw Li Xuanba, although he felt that his body was weaker, it was not as bad as he imagined.

When he knew that Dou Hui would not let Li Xuanba go out in winter, he had his own speculation, knowing that Li Xuanba's body finally became like that, because he stayed in the house in winter, and after many years, under the vicious circle, his already weak body became even weaker.

In fact, I don't blame Dou Hui, it's not that there is no mask at this time.

Li Jiancheng couldn't say these words to Dou Hui, so it was too heart-wrenching, so he said: "Mother, what if a person who is in good health is suddenly told that he has a terminal illness one day?" ”

Dou Hui's eyes flashed, and after a few breaths, he nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, this is not to increase San Lang's psychological burden." ”

Li Jiancheng saw that Dou Hui understood, so he said again: "Mother, you believe me, the third brother's health will get better and better; When I get back, I will go to Dr. Liu's house, and after reading their medical books, I will agree on a better treatment plan with Dr. Liu. ”

Dou Hui looked at Li Jiancheng with a determined face, nodded, and said, "You can do this matter secretly, don't let your grandmother know." ”

Even if Dou Hui is a housekeeper, but what Li Jiancheng and Dugu's grandmother said in the house, she doesn't know, after all, she can't put her hand in her mother-in-law's house. (To be continued)
