When the father and daughter came to Xiushui Town, the town was already lively, just in time for the first day of the new year, the fifteenth day of the big market, the shops on both sides of the street set up early, and the business was quite good.

The market is even more lively, with vendors filling their stalls. The town, which was originally a little lonely, seems to be lively again all of a sudden.

"How it feels like going back to when I was a kid."

In the memory of the original owner, the market in the town was very lively, but later with the loss of population, there were fewer and fewer people in the town, and the town lost its former liveliness.

"Isn't it coming to the end of the year soon, the countryside has a heavy New Year's flavor, and it is customary to prepare early, and it is estimated that it will be more lively after a while."

"Isn't there still two months left until the Chinese New Year, so prepare so early."

Qin Weiming didn't look weird, "Habit, there are many relatives in the countryside, and they have to leave relatives before the New Year, and the children outside have to go home for the New Year, so it's normal to prepare early." ”

Anyway, Qin Yike didn't understand, he said that normal is normal.

The two of them met a lot of acquaintances on the road, the third brother and the fifth uncle chatted for a long time, and finally returned to Qin Jianjian's courtyard.

As soon as she pushed open the courtyard door, Qin Yike heard Qin Jianjian's cough, she glanced at Qin Weiming, "What did I say, I was reluctant to burn coal, and the clothes I wore were not thick, so I didn't cough." ”

The father and daughter pushed the door and entered, and found that the house was cold, Qin Jianshe was lying on the kang with an old military coat on his body, as if he hadn't heard anyone enter the house at all.

"Second grandpa, why are you sick!" Qin Yike put the things on the kang, reached out and touched Qin Jianjian's forehead, fortunately there was no fever.

Qin Jianshe opened his eyes, "Huh? Ahem...... I'm fine, when are you here? ”

When a person is sick, he is very unenergetic. Qin Jianshe is not young, and his sick and crooked appearance looks like he doesn't have many days to live, and he looks very miserable.

Qin Weiming saw it, and his tears almost fell.

His second uncle's life was not easy, he lost his lover when he was young, and he lived a lifetime with unimaginable pain for ordinary people. Now that he is old, he is lying on the kang alone, and there is no one around him to bring tea and pour water.

Do the math, he hasn't come to see his second uncle for half a year, and the last time he came to see him was during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Second uncle, what are you doing now, let's go to the hospital!"

"Ah, you're here too?" Qin Jianshe waved his hand, "I'm fine, don't make a fuss!" Last night, there was less coal, and it froze in the middle of the night, which is not a big deal, ahem...... I'll just take some medicine. ”

Qin Weiming hurriedly said: "I'll go make a fire, it's too cold in the house." ”

The father and daughter acted separately, Qin Weiming lit a fire, and Qin Yi could find medicine.

After rummaging through the drawer for a long time, it turned out that there were only a few boxes of painkillers and a little anti-inflammatory medicine in the drawer, which were still expired.

"I'm going to buy medicine. Dad, you cook some porridge for the second grandfather, and I'll be back in a while. ”

"Yes, you go!"

Qin Yike went to the pharmacy to buy some anti-inflammatory drugs and cough syrup, and when he came back, he passed by the shop early and bought a few big buns.

After the fire was lit, the house was much warmer. Qin Weiming boiled water to cook porridge, and Qin Yike poured the syrup into the measuring cup and asked Qin Jianshe to take it.

"It smells pretty rushing."

"Eat these two anti-inflammatory pills again." Qin Yike's tone was not very good, obviously because the old man didn't take care of himself and was angry.

Qin Jianshe took the medicine, sighed and said, "When people are old, they are useless." ”

"Even young people can't be sure when they will get sick." Qin Yike asked him to drink more warm water, sat on the side of the kang and talked to him, "It is said that this year is a cold winter, and you don't have to prepare more to burn." ”

"So much coal! The firewood is also ready-made, I just didn't expect it to be so cold, so I didn't burn much. ”

"Do you think you're a young man in your twenties or thirties? Don't accept the old line? ”

Qin Jianshe smiled, "Serve the old, I will serve the old." ”

At this moment, Qin Weiming's porridge was also cooked, and Qin Jianshe ate a hot breakfast with the buns that Qin Yi could buy.

"I told you a long time ago to go back to the county seat with us to retire, but you didn't listen."

"What county are you going back to! I'm happy to stay here and not go anywhere! Qin Jianshe coughed twice before saying, "Besides, you are my nephew, what's the matter with me letting you support your old age!" Your dad is so careful, he can't scold you eight times a day? ”

Qin Weiming smiled bitterly, "Anyway, he doesn't need me to support his old age, people don't look down on me!" You are my uncle, I spent a lot of money on you when I was a child, and when I encountered difficulties, it was you who reached out to help me, and it was only right to raise you. ”

Qin Yike nodded secretly, although her cheap father was a little timid, her three views were still upright.

"Net nonsense." Qin Jianshe counted him down, but in his heart he was happy, he regarded Qin Weiming as his son.

"Second uncle, otherwise you can go back to the county with me, so you don't need to light a fire in the building, and it's still warm."

Qin Jianjian's head shook like a rattle, "I'm not going anywhere!" The words were too hasty, his breath was not smooth, and he coughed again.

"Drink some water." Qin Yi could see this, and hurriedly poured him a little water, Qin Jianshe drank the water, and this breath was calmed down.

"What are you two doing here?"

Qin Weiming muttered: "I don't mean to say that I want to run a private restaurant, I want to inquire about the news, and I just came to see you." ”

Qin Yike took out the down jacket he bought for him, "I'm afraid that you are reluctant to buy cotton clothes, so I specially went to choose a thick down jacket for you, which is long, and the effect of blocking the wind and keeping warm is much stronger than your military coat." ”

Qin Jianjian's military coat has a history of thirty years, and the cotton inside has long been out of shape, and it is not warm to wear at all.

"What are you doing with that money, I don't go out of the house, it's a waste to wear such good clothes." Although he said this, Qin Jianshe gently touched the down jacket and cherished it very much.

The children thought of him, and he was content, and his heart was sweeter than drinking honey!

"What a waste, this is a child's heart, you go out in this dress, you can also let the neighbors see it! Second uncle, although you don't have your own children, you have us! I mean, when the Medicinal Diet Pavilion opens, you will live in the Medicinal Diet Pavilion with us! Qin Weiming's face was full of smiles, "When the time comes, our family of three will go back to the town to accompany you." ”

A few flashes of light flashed in Qin Jianjian's cloudy eyes, he felt that he was much better at this moment, and he didn't want to cough anymore, "Really? ”

Qin Yi laughed and said: "Then there is a fake!" Didn't you say you were comfortable in the town and didn't want to leave here? If you don't leave, then we will have to go back to town to accompany you. ”
