Chapter 41: Grandpa's Illness

The dilapidated house of Xiaowan's family is in the northwest corner of the village, not far from the big tree at the head of the village, and with Ah Xiong's pace, it took less than five minutes to find the dilapidated courtyard.

"Alas, it's Ah Xiong here." Xiaowan's grandfather saw Ah Xiong suddenly walk in from outside the door, and immediately greeted him warmly, Xiao Wan's grandfather's health has not been good, and his body has long been rickety, and at this moment he is coughing while standing next to Ah Xiong, but it is only to Ah Xiong's shoulder height.

Although Ah Xiong was not angry in his heart, in the end, the other party was the only relative of Xiaowan in the world, so he reached out to help the old man who greeted him, and helped Xiaowan's grandfather into the house from the courtyard.

Grandpa Xiaowan actually likes Ah Xiong, a young man, Xiaowan has been taken care of by him since he was a child.

Although this kid is quite rude to other people, he has nothing to say to himself and Xiaowan's grandmother, and every time he comes to the house as a guest, he will bring some good things from the city to himself.

Sometimes it's a box of imported cigarettes, sometimes it's a small bowl of grandma's favorite fruit candy. Don't look at Ah Xiong's big and three thick, but his heart is very thin, and the little bowl that can be teased every time is very happy.

Grandpa Xiaowan sat down on the wooden stool in the house, reached out and patted the hands that were holding him: "Ah Xiong, how many days are you going to come back today?" ”

Ah Xiong didn't expect that his stomach was full of questions and he didn't ask them, and Grandpa Xiaowan actually cared about him like a nobody.

"Two days." Ah Xiong was embarrassed to ask, so he could only answer in a deep voice.

"Oh, that's good, then you can accompany my little bowl more." Grandpa Xiaowan was immediately overjoyed, and continued to Ah Xiong with some invitation: "Xiaowan has been upset lately. ”

"Little bowl of her...... What's wrong? Ah Xiong looked at the old man whose spirit was far less than before, and then asked.

"Don't you know, a few days ago, Fu Zai and his family came to me recklessly, saying that they wanted to talk about Xiaowan's marriage." Grandpa Xiaowan raised his eyebrows, and said a little angrily: "I was really angry at the time, and I was going to drive them out without saying a word." ”

After that, Grandpa Xiaowan suddenly coughed loudly, coughed for a while before continuing: "It's all because I'm old and useless, I'm an old man with a crop, and I can't push Fu Zai's parents who do business, and then I was so angry that I had a desperate heart with them, who rarely got their broken things." ”

Ah Xiong looked at the grandfather of the little bowl who was still wheezing after coughing, and knew that his illness that had been haunted for decades was much more serious, so he reached out and pressed the old man's back, and said while helping the old man to calm down: "You too, what are you angry with them." ”

"Hmph, Fu Zai's parents think that if you have money, you can do anything? He wants to buy my good grandson, who is rare with their stinky money. After that, Grandpa Xiaowan suddenly said to Ah Xiong with some embarrassment: "When you come back this time, did you help my old man bring ......?"

Ah Xiong reached out and took out a pack of Marlboro that had been prepared a long time ago from his pocket, and handed it to the little bowl grandfather with some hesitation: "Smoke less, your lungs are not good." ”

Grandpa Xiaowan immediately took the pack of imported cigarettes in his hand with a happy eyebrow, skillfully opened the package, and took one out, and then said with a satisfied expression: "Alas, no way, I'll just take this mouthful, this cigarette is still smoked when I was fighting, and imported cigarettes are expensive at that time, I can't imagine that you kid is so methodical, and every time you come back, you will help me bring a few packs." ”

Ah Xiong stretched out his hand to help Grandpa Xiaowan light a cigarette, but he didn't forget to instruct in his mouth: "It's not the old society now, this cigarette is easy to buy, but your body can't smoke a lot, just smoke a pressure addiction, don't let Xiaowan see it, otherwise she should blame me again." ”

"Don't worry." After taking a sip of the little bowl with satisfaction, he continued to tell Ah Xiong about the events of the previous days: "Later, it was my old woman who found it out, persuaded me a few words, and pulled Fu Zai's parents outside the yard, and I don't know what she muttered to others, anyway, after listening to Fu Zai's parents, they went back in disgrace." ”

As he spoke, Grandpa Xiaowan pointed to a bunch of things in the corner of the yard: "Well, it's that they are leaving, but the things are forgotten in our house, I shouted to send them back, don't want their tattered things, but I carried it for a long time, and I didn't move it, and called the old woman to send it back, and the old woman still thought I was troublesome, saying that I didn't have the time to make trouble with others, and it was like deliberately finding fault to tear my face." ”

"Let's two masters, when we finish lunch, you send them back with me, I won't even allow you to enter the door of the house for those things, and I'll be upset when I see them." Grandpa Xiaowan finished smoking a cigarette very happily, and then threw the cigarette butt out of the door, and beckoned his wife: "Old woman, hurry up and make lunch, Ah Xiong is back!" ”

Grandma Xiaowan happened to come out of the kitchen in the courtyard, and when she saw Ah Xiong, she just nodded a little embarrassedly, and her expression was obvious.

Ah Xiong listened to this for a long time, and probably understood what was going on, and after taking the initiative to say hello to Grandma Xiaowan, he continued to chat with the old man.

At this time, Xiaowan had already hidden at the door and peeked at it for a long time, and she also wanted to know what was going on, but she was even more angry and didn't want to pay attention to Ah Xiong, who left her.

Seeing that Ah Xiong was chatting with his grandfather, he didn't come out to coax himself when he saw that he was showing up at the door, so Xiao Wan stomped his feet angrily, and when he was angry, he didn't go to the house, and he didn't come out again when he got into the kitchen of the small courtyard.

For a meal, the small bowl was given to grandma, and it was made quickly.

The two of them ate at the dinner table in the house, and Xiaowan and Grandma ate in the kitchen, and they also saved their eyes from staring at Ah Xiong.

At the dinner table, Grandpa Xiaowan specially took out the bulk Lao Baigan that he was reluctant to drink on weekdays, poured a cup for Ah Xiong, and asked Ah Xiong: "Boy, I know what you mean to Xiao Wan, you see that the people in the village have begun to match Xiao Wan, but my family has not allowed it, you know what I mean, right?" ”

Ah Xiong drank the liquor and nodded.

"Well, you know, I'm not going to worry about that." The old man instantly took a sip of the white wine in the cup happily: "When you and Xiaowan have done something, before I put this old bone into the ground, maybe I can drink a glass of your two happy wine." ”

Before he finished a sip of wine, Grandpa Xiaowan coughed violently again.

Ah Xiong reached out to help the old man pat his back, but he didn't say a word.

After eating, Ah Xiong sent the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, and the small bowl in the kitchen saw Ah Xiong coming, turned his head angrily and walked out of the kitchen.

Ah Xiong didn't stop him, but put the dishes and chopsticks in the sink and was about to reach out to wash them, when the little bowl grandmother hurriedly stopped Ah Xiong, rolled up her sleeves and washed the dishes and chopsticks.

"Grandma." Ah Xiong called to Grandma Xiaowan: "There are some things I want to ask you." ”

Grandma Xiaowan's hand washing the dishes suddenly stopped, and then she nodded and sighed: "You ask." ”

"Small Bowl...... Is it engaged to Fu Zai? ”

When Grandma Xiaowan heard this, tears flowed down, and she didn't dare to look back at Ah Xiong, she lowered her head and said while washing the dishes: "Ah Xiong, Grandma knows that you are good to Xiao Wan." ”

"But your uncle, he's dying."

As she spoke, Grandma turned off the faucet that was running and the kitchen fell silent for a moment.

"The old man has been in poor health, I accompanied him to the hospital a while ago to have a look, the doctor said that this disease has been delayed for too long, and if he does not have surgery, he will not be able to save it." Xiaowan's grandmother wiped her tears: "How can the family have money for surgery, and I really can't ...... it"

"Grandma, I have saved money, I'll give it to you, don't sell the small bowl to Fu Zai." Ah Xiong suddenly knelt down for Grandma Xiaowan: "I'll marry Xiaowan." ”

"What are you doing, you kid! Hurry up. Grandma Xiaowan hurriedly reached out to help Ah Xiong, but Ah Xiong was tall and big, how could Grandma Xiaowan help him up.

"Ah Xiong, I know that you are a good kid and kind-hearted, and you have nothing to say to Xiaowan." Grandma Xiaowan couldn't pull up Ah Xiong, so she could only sigh and continue: "But your uncle's operation, you have to hand over 100,000 yuan in one breath, and it will cost endless money for hospitalization in the future, you are a lonely child, where can you get so much money?" ”

Lakh...... Ah Xiong suddenly felt a basin of cold water splashed on his head, and he had saved 40,000 or 50,000 yuan for a few years, thinking that saving 40,000 or 50,000 yuan would be enough to buy his marriage with Xiaowan, but he had to take 100,000 yuan out of it himself, he had no relatives and no support, even if he borrowed it, he couldn't borrow this amount.

"Grandma can't stand you." Grandma Xiaowan wiped her tears again: "If you want to hate, hate Grandma, don't hate Xiaowan, and don't tell your uncle about this, you don't know your uncle's temper, don't be angry when he is sick, even if Grandma begs you, hide this matter for Grandma, okay?" ”

Ah Xiong nodded, only to feel that his knees were weak, and the cold on the ground rubbed against his body through his legs, and he shivered in his heart.

Coming out of the kitchen, Ah Xiong saw that although Xiao Wan ran away just now, he didn't run far, and he was squatting in the corner of the courtyard at the moment, and when he saw himself, he deliberately turned his face away, looking wronged.

Ah Xiong approached the small bowl and reached out to touch the small bowl's head.

Although Xiao Wan still wanted to pretend to be angry, the smile on his face couldn't even deceive anyone, grabbed the rough palm that touched him, and said to Ah Xiong: "Grandpa said that I will return the bride price of the Fu Zai family with you in the afternoon, so that you won't be angry, right?" ”

Ah Xiong looked at the small bowl and was silent for a long time before finally squeezing out a smile: "Fu Zai is actually ...... People are nice. ”

Xiaowan was suddenly stunned, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared: "What did you say?" ”

Ah Xiong withdrew his hand from between the hands of the small bowl, bowed his head and said, "He doesn't dare to treat you badly, just tell me if he treats you badly, and I will clean him up." ”

Xiaowan tears instantly poured out of a pair of big eyes: "Li Shixiong, what did you say?" ”

This is the first time that Ah Xiong has called his name since he can remember.

"I wish you happiness." Ah Xiong was ruthless, raised his head, took one last look at Xiaowan, and then walked out of the courtyard of Xiaowan's house without looking back.

Xiaowan was stupid in place, looking at the pile of dowries in the corner of the courtyard, and he couldn't come to his senses for a long time.

Ah Xiong left, and since that day, he has not returned to the village.

It is said that before Ah Xiong left, he rushed to Fu Zai's house and beat Fu Zai severely, while beating Fu Zai, he couldn't help but shed tears, Ah Xiong threatened Fu Zai with tears: If you dare to treat Xiao Wan badly, when he comes back, he will definitely not let him go.

Xiaowan waited under the big tree at the head of the village for a few days, and waited until Xiaowan's grandmother came to persuade her, and then she returned home with her grandmother.

With no phone number and no address, Ah Xiong seemed to have disappeared from the world of the small bowl, completely losing all news.
