When Bai Han came over to pick up the two children, Lin Lao was playing chess with Zhou Lao.

"Uncle Lin, these two little guys are bothering you!" Bai Han was embarrassed, he had only known each other for a day, and the two children stayed here all day.

"Xiaohan, don't see outside, I'm an old man here, and I have two children here, it's quite lively. Dinner has already been eaten, and if you don't come back, I'm going to let Xiao Li clean up the bed and let the two little ones sleep here. Lin Lao said with great interest, and he didn't stop playing chess.

Bai Han smiled and nodded, and shyly pulled the two children away.

"Brother Zhou, this Bai Haoyun's daughter and granddaughter are not simple. The chrysanthemum cake you just ate was made by Bai Han. Lin Lao said approvingly, looking at Bai Han's back from afar.

"Bai Haoyun? Isn't that the physicist? Zhou Lao asked curiously, twisting his eyebrows.

"yes!" Lin Lao sighed, such a smart and proud person, he was tortured and committed suicide to death, how many talents have been lost during the special period, and the loss of the country.

"Then take care of the mother and daughter! Hey, don't talk about it, you hurry up and take care of your body and fight for more welfare for these children, hehe. "Zhou Lao knew that Lin Lao had been doing the work of putting things right before, and after helping many martyrs and scholars. Bai Han still lives next to him, and it is more convenient to take care of it.

This sentence is said to Lin Lao's heart, during the special period, Lin Lao was isolated, although he was not hurt, but watching his comrades around him fall, he felt uncomfortable. These were the backbone of the revolution in those years, and those who climbed snow-capped mountains and grasslands, broke through the five anti-encirclement and suppression campaigns of the Kuomintang reactionaries, and made outstanding contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, actually died in the most humiliating form. If they had known that this would be the case, they would rather die on the battlefield and be honored.

The next day, Xiao Li took Lin Lao to do the test, and several experts and professors consulted Lin Lao, Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and the results of the examination surprised the people around him, the cancer cells were actually reduced by one-third, which seemed to be much better than the results five days ago, and unanimously asked Lin Lao to stay in the hospital for treatment; Maybe it can be cured without surgery.

But Lin Lao refused, the smell of disinfectant water in the hospital was too strong, and he didn't like it, so he should have regular follow-ups. Everyone couldn't resist Lin Lao, so they could only do it.

Qin Ruhua and Bai Han were not idle at home, they were busy writing invitations, and wanted to invite their neighbors over for tea and snacks. The two small flower beds in the yard, watered every day with improved well water, are growing happily, and today there is no need for small branches to support them, and there are still a few faint flower bones, and the flowering period is much earlier. Bai Han and Qin Ruhua didn't understand this, and they didn't care.

There are a total of nineteen households in this area, and Bai Han wrote nineteen invitations, and took Bai Ling and Wu Bin to send them to everyone. As these people were busy, but when it was time for dinner, a dozen people came; For those who didn't have a good time, they asked the guards or nannies to send gifts, some fruits and some snacks. Whether he came or not, Bai Han prepared a beautifully packaged chrysanthemum cake as a return gift.

Most of the people who came over were intellectuals, and most of them had only heard of Bai Haoyun and his wife, but they had never seen real people, and they knew that they were invited by later generations, so they also gave face.

It is very coincidental that there is a couple who happen to be professors at BJ University, and the male host, Geng Wenqing, is actually an expert professor of traditional Chinese medicine in the medical school, which happens to be Bai Han's major; The hostess Pei Fangmei is very good at language and literature.

"Xiaohan, when school starts, Auntie will take the two of you to sign up, thank you for eating chrysanthemum cake and chrysanthemum tea today." Pei Fangmei said with a smile, the daughters and sons of the two all went to study abroad, and there were only two old people in the family, "If no one takes the children for you, they will be put in our house. ”

As soon as I heard that the school had started, the problem of Wu Bin's school had not been solved, Qin Ruhua asked: "Teacher Pei, I won't tell you, Wu Bin has already gone to the first grade in his hometown, and after the school starts, he will be in the second grade, but he has not found a good school yet, how can he go to a good primary school in City B?" ”

Pei Fangmei pondered for a moment and said, "Now there is a way, it depends on whether Xiao Han agrees?"

Bai Han saw that when it came to himself, he and Sister Qin were like sisters, and he almost regarded Wu Bin as his own son, no matter what the conditions were, he quickly nodded and said, "Teacher Pei, just say it, I will do my best!" ”

"It's that you adopted Wu Bin as a righteous son and moved Wu Bin's hukou to your family's hukou book, but now it takes a long time to move the hukou, you can find a school to borrow first, and when the hukou is settled, you can go through the official enrollment." Pei Fangmei is a native of City B, so she knows a lot about local things.

"That's no problem, we'll write to Yang Zhishu now and ask him to help, it shouldn't be a big problem." Bai Han said happily, thinking that it was a big deal, wasn't it just to enter an account, just to think that Xiaoling had an extra brother.

Qin Ruhua looked at Bai Han gratefully, feeling that he couldn't express his feelings by saying anything, so he could only hold Bai Han's hand tightly and said, "Thank you!" ”

"You're kind to me!" Bai Han said angrily and hugged Wu Bin over, "We, Wu Bin, Xiaohan want to go to a good school, and we will definitely be able to become a talent in the future!" ”

"Ruhua, Xiaohan, there is a primary school near us, the primary school affiliated to BJ Normal University, the principal is my classmate, I will ask you tomorrow, and I will reply to you tomorrow night." Pei Fangmei is a very enthusiastic person who does everything.

Early the next morning, Bai Han and Qin Ruhua made a few pots of chrysanthemum cakes, and asked Bai Ling and Wu Bin to send some to Lin Lao, Teacher Pei and his wife, and the two went to many stalls to do business. Most of the money originally earned has been spent, and not to mention Wu Bin, Xiaohan still has to go to school, so he spends a lot of money.

Pei Fangmei sent good news, you can borrow it there, but the borrowing fee is very expensive, 80 yuan a year, and 40 yuan a semester. Forty yuan is a lot, and I have half a month's salary as a university professor.

"If you don't have any money, I'll lend you some first!" Pei Fangmei asked, not a little money.

Listening to forty yuan for a semester, Bai Han and Qin Ruhua breathed a sigh of relief, there is still some money. But for Pei Fangmei's kindness, Qin Ruhua said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Pei, Bai Han and I made chrysanthemum cakes and sold them, and made some money, forty yuan, and we can afford it!" ”

Pei Fangmei nodded, it is not easy for two women to pull two children, it is better to do a small business to subsidize the family than to have no money.

"Lin Lao, you have to observe in the hospital this time, while we keep an eye on your condition at any time!" Dr. Liu resolutely said that in just a few days, there are many fewer cancer cells, and it is estimated that only one-third of the original number will be recovered, and at this rate, it will recover quickly. Although it was a good thing, the doctors in the hospital didn't know why Lin Lao was getting better, so they were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks.

"Lao Tzu said, if you can't say it, you can't stop it! The smell of disinfectant water is so bad that I want to vomit! Lin Lao pulled his nose and said impatiently, picking up the cup on the side and about to smash it.

At this time, an old man who was actually many years old came in, and said with a smile: "Xiaolinzi, where is the style of hard work of our party." Such a good cup, it's not a waste to break. It's a big deal, isn't it just to stay in the hospital for a few more days, and you have such a big temper, look at your little bit of interest. ”

When Lin Lao saw the visitor, he was still a lion with upside-down hair just now, but now he was a docile kitten, and said with a smile: "This hospital smells bad, it can't be like this, it can't be like that, how can it be comfortable at home." Old Qin, just let me go back! ”

Seeing Lin Lao's attitude, he knew that Qin Lao was a more difficult character. Lin Lao doesn't give face to others, but Qin Lao's words can't be ignored, listening to Xiao Linzi, it is Qin Lao who gave Lin Lao a nickname when he was crossing the grassland. At that time, Lin Lao had a fever and couldn't walk, it was Qin Lao who carried Xiao Lin and walked for a few days and nights, until Lin Lao's cold cured, and since then, Lin Lao was full of admiration for this big brother who was ten years older than himself, and ran ahead of everything, only to become the general of New China from a rural cattle herding baby.

"Humph! Give you face, you still have a temper, this is a military order, you are not allowed to go anywhere! Stay here honestly, Guard Lu, you are watching here, if you don't comply, report to me immediately! After Qin Lao finished speaking, he turned around and left, facing Xiao Linzi, who had followed him and Rong Ma all his life, for himself to block two bullets, and three knives, he felt a deep debt and distress in his heart, his wife and children were killed by Japanese devils, and he was still alone. Now that he is terminally ill, even if he has surgery, there is not much hope. During this time, I have been very uncomfortable, this morning when I received a call from the hospital, put down a big mess of things, and ran over to see what happened, much better than I imagined, I hope Xiaolinzi can survive this catastrophe.

Lin Lao, who stayed in the hospital for two days, began to vomit as soon as he got up in the morning, and the mixture in his stomach was bloodshot, which frightened the doctors in the hospital. As a result of the examination, the cancer cells began to spread again, and cold sweat broke out on everyone's head.

Lin Lao's face, which was originally a little ruddy, became pale, and he lay weakly on the hospital bed.

Xiao Li went home and got some things, and happened to meet Bai Han, Qin Ruhua, who went out to sell chrysanthemum cakes, heard that Lin Lao was sick and hospitalized, so he had to pack a big bag of chrysanthemum cakes for Xiao Li and bring them over. Xiao Li knew that Lin Lao liked to eat, so he didn't shirk it, and left with it. When I arrived at the hospital, I saw Lin Lao's haggard appearance, his eyes were red, and he tried his best to suppress his whimper.

"A man bleeds, sweats, and does not shed tears! What is it like to cry and cry! Lin Lao said vigorously, but his weak body couldn't support such a big breath, and he coughed incessantly.
