The three of them then walked to Aunt Lin's house together, but it didn't take long for Xiaoxiao to be annoyed that she hadn't gone to that place by car before, because she hadn't arrived after walking for half an hour, and the two big men had good physical strength, but she slept very late last night and went out with Zhao Yunhai in the morning, and now she walked such a long way and her feet hurt and she was sleepy.

God knows that she had never walked such a long road in her previous life, where the traffic was developed, and it was only a five-minute walk at most to go out by either driving herself or being picked up by someone.

When she walked for an hour, Xiaoxiao felt that she really didn't have much physical strength to go on, no matter how tough she was, she was also a woman, how could she compare with two people who had been soldiers and had physical perversion.

Fortunately, when he walked to the door of a dilapidated courtyard, Ye Qiaosheng grinned and said, "It's here, that's it." ”

He didn't come out on a bicycle today, and it was a coincidence that he saw Zhao Lichen, he said that he wanted to go to Aunt Lin's house to help, so he agreed to come down and simply asked Xiaoxiao to help too. I didn't expect Xiaoxiao to be really able to endure hardships, and after walking such a long way, he didn't say a word of complaint on the way.

Xiaoxiao vomited in her heart, if she heard him say this, she would definitely wail, she was so tired that she didn't want to talk more.

Zhao Lichen glanced at Xiaoxiao, and saw that there was obviously a tired look on her face, and she didn't complain when she walked so far, it's very good, if she was replaced by her own sister Lijuan, she would have been tired and tired, and she would never let her suffer this kind of hardship next time, and blamed her for being greedy before and wanting to talk to her more and not going to the car.

Pushing open the somewhat dilapidated wooden door, Ye Qiaosheng shouted familiarly: "Is my aunt there?" We're coming!" A loud voice rang out in the courtyard.

Shino looked at the house.

The house was dilapidated, with gray bricks on the floor and patches of green berry moss growing on the walls. The yard is not big, there are a few pots of flowers and plants in the corner, but the whole small courtyard is cleaned up very clean and elegant, and the smoke is slowly wafting from the roof at this moment.

Sister-in-law Lin walked out of the west wing, she had just been boiling water in the west room, and when she heard her called outside, she walked out of the stove in the kitchen.

He looked like he was in his fifties, with a blue scarf wrapped around his head, and his old clothes were gray and patched, but he looked very kind, and when he saw them, he looked at them with a smile on his face.

"Qiao Sheng and Lichen are here...... Hey? There is also a female baby. "I saw Shinoxiao standing behind.

"Auntie, she is our friend, and we came to see you." Ye Qiaosheng said with a big grin.

"yes, that's great, you guys are good boys." The old man looked at Xiaoxiao with a smile, just the eyes of an elder looking at the junior child kindly. "You and Lichen are also not small, you have to find a partner quickly."

Ye Qiaosheng pouted a little helplessly, "Auntie, you also know the situation in my family, there are four younger brothers and sisters below, plus now that my sister is lame in one leg, how can the daughter of a good family be willing to marry into my family." ”

A trace of loss flashed on his face, he and Zhao Lichen were small, but the family background of the two families was far apart, his father also went to be a soldier, but he was injured in a battle and fortunately picked up a life, and then his health was much worse and he could no longer continue to stay in the army and then demobilized and went home, his family later moved out of the military compound to the outside, many people cut off contact with his family, only Zhao Lichen did not look down on him, and continued to communicate with him.

Xiaoxiao didn't expect this person's family to be like this, he hadn't heard Zhao Lichen talk about his family before, but he only knew that Ye Qiaosheng's family had many younger brothers and sisters, and the situation in the family was not very good.

Ye Qiaosheng laughed at himself and said that he was afraid of making the atmosphere cold, so he said again: "Auntie, I heard Lichen say that the roof of your house is broken, so we will come over to repair it, and there will be more rain in the next spring, so if you don't repair it, you are afraid of leaking into the house." ”

Aunt Lin nodded, these two are very busy people, and they are basically here to help her do things, and they don't dare to delay their time.

Pointing to a corner of the yard, he said, "Then there are a few good tiles, you can replace the broken ones." ”

Zhao Lichen nodded and swept the yard to find a small bucket, Aunt Wen took out some lime powder from the house and mixed it with soil to stir, and then Ye Qiaosheng moved the ladder from the back room.

The two big men were repairing the broken tiles on it, because the house was old, there was green moss on the eaves, and the tiles were broken a lot, and it was estimated that it would take them a while to repair them.

Xiaoxiao and Aunt Lin watched them work in the courtyard while chatting and waiting to see her later, which was also the purpose of her visit.

From her words, I know that she used to be a military wife, but her husband and son sacrificed their lives for the country successively, leaving only the old man to live here alone, her son is a comrade-in-arms with Zhao Lichen, and Ye Qiaosheng is also a very good friend.

Ye Qiaosheng also served as a soldier before, but his father was injured, his mother was not in good health, and there were four younger brothers and sisters at home, so he couldn't retire and come back to take care of the family.

Xiaoxiao saw that the eldest lady coughed from time to time, and then looked at her sallow face and said, "Auntie, are you not feeling well?" ”

thought that Zhao Lichen called her here just to see Aunt Lin.

The eldest lady shook her head, with some sadness in her eyes, "It's an old problem, it will be like this every spring, and it will naturally get better when the weather warms up in March." ”

No one cares if a person is sick, and she doesn't worry about whether she is sick year after year.

After hearing this, Xiaoxiao guessed that she might have chronic bronchitis, with long-term cough accompanied by wheezing and recurrent attacks, each attack for more than a month in winter, and it will be relieved when the weather is warm in spring.

"Auntie, I'll do some medical skills, I'll show you when I go in, okay?" There is concern in the voice, a woman, there is no one in the family, and it is also a family that has contributed to the country, this woman is very strong and open-minded, and ordinary women may not be able to survive or leave here for a long time, but just now I heard the old man say that she will always stay here, this is where their family once lived, and she guarded this house as if her husband and children were still there, until the last moment of her life.

Aunt Lin looked at her with some surprise, seeing that she was not very old, but she actually knew how to use medical skills.

"The baby is amazing! I will treat people, but I have an old problem, so I don't care. Subconsciously refused, she didn't want to see a doctor, and she was a little scared at the thought of getting sick.

"Auntie, I'm just blind, think about whether I can help, and today is also Lichen called me over, they are worried about your body, saying that you don't want to go to the hospital to see a doctor, just call me over, don't let me run in vain, besides, I'm just checking, I don't think your illness will be very serious, but it's not good if it drags on." Xiaoxiao persuaded, and then picked up the medicine box and planned to help Aunt Lin go to the house.
