The next morning, after breakfast and washing the dishes, I went straight to my uncle's house.

My cousin went back to work in the field, and there was only an uncle sitting at the door basking in the sun, a sister-in-law who was busy working in an apron in the kitchen, and a little niece who was writing her summer vacation homework in the room.

The little niece looked seven or eight years old, looking thin and small, but she had a long ponytail, silky smooth bangs, round eyes, and as bright as grapes.

When she laughed, her eyes crooked, she heard my voice calling uncle, poked her head out to look at me, and shouted, "Sister-in-law! Wow, I haven't seen you in a long time, where have you been?"

I patted her head and said, "Hehe, I've been caught going to cram school." ”

"Grandpa, are you thirsty? Shall I pour you a glass of water?" She looked nervously at the uncle, put her hands on his arms, and asked.

"Hey, I'm not thirsty, go and pour a glass of water for your sister-in-law. Haha, our granddaughter is so good. Uncle caressed her little face lovingly and said softly.

"I, I don't need to. I'm here to see you. Uncle, how are you feeling lately?" I asked nervously as I looked at his complexion and figure.

"It's much better, look at me, I'm fat." He said with a smile.

Indeed, he looked much better and was in good spirits. I'm much more relieved that way.

But every day, a plastic jar must be inserted from the liver to draw out some yellow water.

The wound on my stomach had to be cleaned every day, and it hurt when I looked at it.

He was able to endure such great pain because he thought he would be healed, and the thought of this made my heart hurt even more.

If one day, if I get seriously ill and don't have the faith in my heart, I can't endure such pain and suffering. If I had been told that I had terminal cancer, I would have packed my bags, brought my family, and spent the last days of my life enjoying the joy of family, going to see the scenery I had never seen, and not suffering from such torture, taking medicine and surgery every day.

Watching him dislike his clothes and put the jar in his body made my hairs stand on end. The little niece next to him looked at him distressedly, her eyes were red, and she asked with a sob, "Grandpa, does it hurt?" Grandpa, when will you get better? I'm waiting for you to go shopping with me! ”

The uncle frowned, and said in a weak voice: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, it's almost well, good granddaughter." When grandpa is ready, he will take you to the supermarket and buy lots and lots of chewing gum, okay? ”

The little girl immediately smiled, and there were tears left in the corners of her eyes.

I stood behind my uncle, looking at his lean but strong back, and I couldn't hold back for a while, and tears poured out. I immediately turned around, turned my back, covered my mouth, and hurriedly wiped away my tears.

I can't explain the question of death to a child, and I can't bear to explain it clearly; For a person whose time is short, if he is told that he is incurable, he will collapse and give up treatment.

Looking at the scene of the two of them comforting each other, I could only silently endure this indescribable bitterness in my heart, and at this moment I understood that "white lies", sometimes falsehood is also beautiful and kind, out of the mentality of protecting the parties, so that a lot of harm can be avoided.

I stayed at my uncle's house all morning, and after a while of basking in the sun, he was not very energetic, and went back to the bedroom to rest.

I couldn't understand the behavior of being outside in the sun on a June day, and if it was a normal person, I would have to laugh at it.

But if it's an uncle, I can't laugh at all. Obviously in June, he was still wearing very thick clothes, indicating that his body was already very weak.

I even secretly wondered in my heart whether he already knew the fact that he was seriously ill, and he was just afraid that we would worry, so he accompanied us to act.

Because, none of us can guarantee that he will be able to see the sun this winter. A great living man, just like that, fell ill, and was declared to leave my world forever in the near future.

At this moment, I suddenly realized what a terrible thing death is.

It is said that life and death have a destiny, and everyone cannot escape death. But this was the first time death had come so close to me.

chatted with my cousin-in-law for a while, and listened to her pour out the bitterness in her heart.

She is a smart, virtuous and considerate sister-in-law, and she talks to me in a low voice throughout the whole process, for fear of disturbing my uncle. Some expressions that can be replaced by shaking the head or nodding the head are not too much to say.

She is the most tired here, taking care of the elderly, educating children, and not having the opportunity to chat with anyone. But she has always been kind, there is no too much sadness on her face, and she is smiling, just let us not worry.

I like her very much, she has a personality but is gentle, she is a brave, strong and optimistic person. That's why her child, my little niece, is so smart and cute.

When the little girl saw that her grandfather was asleep, she quietly wrote her homework on the side.

When I was about to leave, she was coquettish and her mother agreed to go to my house with me.

Who can refuse such a cute child?

So, she succeeded.

I packed my schoolbag and took a bunch of homework to my houseAs soon as I arrived at my house, I sorted out the books and put them next to my desk, neatly arranging them.

Then I moved a small stool, sat down, straightened my waist, and began to do my homework. I also quietly wrote my homework.

It's not good to have such a little guy next to her half-heartedly, you can't be a bad example for her, right?

She will ask me questions when she doesn't understand them, and I will teach her patiently.

For the next month, she came to my house to do her homework.

I'm tired of writing, turn on the TV and watch cartoons, our two hobbies in this area are the same, watching cartoons, eating snacks, and this summer is quite comfortable.

My brother Ling Ming also likes her very much, as soon as she comes, he will pretend to be an elder and talk to her in an adult tone.

Compare him to her uncle.

But I watched my brother pretend to be very funny, but I had to hold back and not dare to laugh.

Obviously, we are also a child, but when we meet a real child, we will immediately change into the appearance of an adult and protect her. Is this a human instinct?

From time to time, the little girl would hold my badminton racket and ask me and my brother to play with him.

She was so small that in order to catch her, we had to light the ball every time so that it didn't float so high that she could catch it.

This reminds me of when I was a child, my dad played fishing with me with Oak cards, and every time he deliberately lost to me, just to make me happy to win.

At the time I didn't understand why he did that, but now I do.

Because when a child loses, she will not only cheat, but also cry, and if she wins, she will not only be happy, but also more obedient, and at the same time, she will become interested in this activity.

Actually, the most important thing is that I found that losing to her is also a very happy thing, she will cheer happily when she wins, and I will be very happy to see her happy.
