"Hongyi? I didn't think it was really you. I was in the house and I heard it and it sounded familiar, oh, why did you suddenly come back? Luo Hongyi's voice didn't alarm his family, but he lured out Aunt Li next door.

"Auntie, I received a telegram in the army saying that my mother is critically ill." The expression on Luo Hongyi's face was anxious, "There is no one in our family at this time, is it that my mother is still in the hospital?" Do you know which hospital it is in? ”

"What? Your family sent you a telegram saying your mother was critically ill? Aunt Li had a look of surprise on her face.

"That's right, you see." Luo Hongyi immediately took out the crumpled telegram that he had carried with him and had been deliberately kneaded by him and handed it to her, and then asked with doubts and some hesitation, "Auntie?" Is there something wrong? Could it be—" His eyes darkened suddenly, and his face turned gloomy, "Is it that I'm too late to come back?" ”

"No, no, don't be cranky. Your mother is fine, she followed your father to your future brother-in-law's house to propose marriage. Aunt Li was taken aback by Luo Hongyi's appearance, and quickly waved her hand to explain. She muttered to herself, "Really, how can there be such a person who curses himself to his son for no reason that he is going to die?" ”

"She, she's okay alright? That's great? Luo Hongyi Huo Ran relaxed, and he admired his performance in his heart.

"Hongyi...... Your mom, she's all right. It's that I haven't seen her sick at all, but there are still people who are about to die because of your fourth brother's mess. Aunt Li looked at the telegram in her hand, and saw that it was obviously crumpled and wrinkled all the way because she was worried, and she couldn't bear to come so she told the truth.

In other words, although her family and Luo Hongyi's home are next-door neighbors, it is not wrong to say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It's a pity that the relationship between the two families is really not a good word. She and Luo Hongyi's mother often quarrel over trivial matters, basically the Luo family except for Luo Hongyi who will greet her politely when he sees her and the rest of her family, and the others from old to young have always ignored her and her family.

This is also the reason why she heard Luo Hongyi shouting outside the door at this time, knowing that no one in the Luo family would come out to respond. If it was Luo Hongyi's second sister who went back to her parents' house, tsk, even if she shouted out her throat, she wouldn't care.

"My fourth brother? What could happen to him? Luo Hongyi looked dazed.

"Hongyi, you are probably tired from rushing all the way. Your parents can't just come back so quickly this time, and your eldest brother, sister-in-law and nephew don't seem to be going back to their parents' house. You can't get into the house, I think you might as well come to your aunt's house to drink saliva and rest first, and then your aunt will tell you slowly, so we don't have to keep the pestle at the door. ”

For Luo Hongyi, who heard that he was already a senior official in the army, and now Aunt Li, the most promising person in their village, is still very willing to stammer. One is that I don't want to offend; the second is to also want to borrow strength when it is critical; The third one, naturally, I think it's best to be angry Luo Hongyi Second Sister Tang. So at this time, Aunt Li was very enthusiastic when she greeted Luo Hongyi.

"Okay, auntie, then you're welcome. I was so anxious that I couldn't even drink water, and I was really thirsty. ”

Luo Hongyi readily agreed. In his previous life, even if he was thirsty and tired, he would not nod his head. With this neighbor Aunt Li, who doesn't have a good relationship with his mother, he can maintain his politeness on the surface, how can he not see the little calculation behind the other party's kindness to him?

"Don't even care about drinking water? Isn't that ......" Aunt Li was overjoyed and pulled Luo Hongyi into her house, her eyes swept over the old-fashioned table clock in the hall, and saw that the time on it pointed to one o'clock and ten o'clock, and she really didn't value it for Luo Hongyi now, she sighed, "You sit down first, and my aunt will boil some hot water for you." ”

"Auntie, don't bother. The water we use here is good, and the spring water we picked up from the mountains is sweet, so you can scoop it directly from the water tank and drink it. Luo Hongyi hurriedly stopped, "I used to drink like that at home since I was a child. ”

"Nonsense, don't you look at what day it is now? Although it's not cold yet, how can you drink cold again in this weather? Aunt Li smiled and shook her head, "It's okay to boil water quickly, and it doesn't take much effort." ”

"Then I'm going to help my aunt light the fire?"

"Sitting, sitting, how can there be a reason to call the guests who come to the door to help with the work." Aunt Li hurriedly held down Luo Hongyi.

"Then it's troublesome." Luo Hongyi said gratefully.

"It's not troublesome, it's just a convenient thing." Aunt Li said as she went to the kitchen, and after a while, she brought out a big bowl of hot poached eggs and put them in front of Luo Hongyi. Luo Hongyi's eyes swept over and saw that there were no less than five or six poached eggs floating in it, and he couldn't help but redden, "Auntie, what are you doing here?" ”

"Don't be polite to your aunt, it's all chickens raised at home and it's not worth anything. Since you called Auntie, Auntie can't be stingy, right? You've probably been scared enough along the way, and you don't need to ask to know that you must have rushed back without having lunch. Wait for your parents, eldest brother and sister-in-law, it is not certain whether they can come back when it gets dark, do you still make you hungry until that time? ”

Aunt Li is fighting for Luo Hongyi in her heart, she is also the son of the family, why didn't she even give the child a key to the door of the house because she went out to be a soldier? There are many things that the Luo family does, so I don't want to say it. Anyway, she is reluctant to treat such a promising child like that.

Wrong, even if the child is not good enough, she will not treat him badly. If the child who comes out of his belly doesn't hurt, who else can he expect to feel distressed?

She shook her head secretly but didn't say anything more, as the saying goes, you can't kiss each other. She didn't want to make Luo Hongyi dissatisfied again because of her mouth. She only said pityingly: "Our village is far away from the county, and the road is not easy to walk and is not open to traffic. Every time my family Junzi comes back, he can eat such a bowl of poached eggs in one go, you can't be as good as him, right? ”

"Thank you, auntie, then I'm welcome." The people's minds were in front of them, and everything was cooked, Luo Hongyi couldn't say anything that he didn't know, so he no longer politely lowered his head and took a sip of the soup first, sweet.

He was a little in a trance: Yes, even Aunt Li next door could think that her village was difficult to walk and there was no traffic, and her son would be hungry when he came back, but why did he go in his previous life and a few years earlier in this life. In the sum of two lifetimes, when did he come home all the way and his mother remembered whether he was thirsty or hungry? Will you ask, or will you go into the kitchen and bring yourself such a big bowl of poached eggs without even asking? Even if you don't use so much, you don't need to add sugar, but you just have a clear soup with two eggs and little water?

I thought that every time he got home, if he didn't meet a meal, then it didn't matter if he was hungry or not, as long as he didn't take the initiative to ask for designation, he would have nothing to eat. He couldn't help but recall the treatment he received every time he went to Zhang's house in the past few years, every time, the first time he saw him, whether it was Nuan Nuan's grandmother or her aunt or his mother-in-law, it seemed that the first question he habitually asked was always hungry? What do you want to eat?

He lowered his head, and many things that he hadn't thought about in the past came to his mind very clearly, and he had to think deeply.
