"What?" Xiao Li didn't believe his ears a little, and asked anxiously, "Where do you live after selling the house?" ”

Huang Ying raised her neck and pretended to smile easily: "It's okay, it's a big deal to live in the company's collective dormitory!" ”

Xiao Li listened, was silent for a moment, raised his head and caught Huang Ying's eyes and said, "Are you just going to see me like that?" ”

"No, if I had seen you, I wouldn't have called you out today." Huang Ying smiled, but smiled a little reluctantly.

Xiao Li sighed secretly, turned his face, glanced at the pine and cypress in the Qinglong Cemetery, and said, "Okay, I'll help you inquire about it." ”

Back downstairs in the community, the two got out of the car.

"Do you need me to accompany you up?" Xiao Li looked at Huang Ying's pale face, a little worried. Since the last time he bumped into Lin Yifan, Xiao Li has not come again, he understands that every time he comes uninvited, it brings too much embarrassment and confusion to everyone, especially Aunt Huang doesn't say it, but from her weak eyes, it can be seen that he is not a popular person, but every time he sees Huang Ying's thin shoulders, his heart will shrink and ache for a while, so he still runs to Huang Ying's house again and again with a shy old face, but it seems to have some effect, at least Huang Ying is not so repulsive to him at the beginning. But now, he had to hesitate.

"I'm sorry to call you out on such a cold day." Huang Ying glanced back at Xiao Li and said with some difficulty: "Or, go up and drink hot tea!" ”

Xiao Li didn't expect Huang Ying to take the initiative to invite him up, but he was stunned for a moment, a little unpredictable about Huang Ying's true meaning.

"Let's go!" Huang Ying didn't say anything more, then turned around and walked towards the corridor alone.

Xiao Li paused. Looking at the slender figure of the yellow warbler. My eyes were a little moist for no reason. I don't know if it's pity or what, but I can't help but keep up.

Entering the door, Huang Ying said: "You go to the kitchen to see if there is hot water, pour yourself a bowl of tea to drink, I'll take a look at my mother first!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Li was quite relieved, and he could hear that Huang Ying had accepted him deep down, at least. Already considered him a friend.

Mother has been awake for a while.

"Mom, when did you wake up? I just went out to do something, don't you have anything to ask for? What do you want to eat? Want to roll over? Want to get rid of it? Huang Ying walked quickly to the edge of the bed, touched her mother's face, and asked a series of questions, just afraid that after leaving for so long, what did her mother need.

Mother shook her head and asked softly, "Is he outside?" ”

"Who?" Huang Ying didn't expect her mother to be so weak, her ears were still very good, and she noticed the slightest movement in the living room outside, but she knew who her mother was talking about, so she nodded.

"Alas!" Mother sighed. He pointed to the door.

Huang Ying understood, got up and closed the door. came back and shook his mother's hand and said, "Mom, what are you going to say?" ”

originally thought that her mother would talk about her and Xiao Li, but she didn't expect her mother to mention it, just looked at Huang Ying's face kindly, and said with a smile: "You are older, you have really grown up, time flies really fast!" ”

Huang Ying put her mother's hand on her face and said coquettishly: "Of course, you have been feeding me for more than 20 years, can you not grow up, can you still treat me as the little slug who pesters you to buy candy to eat?" ”

"yes, I remember when you were lying on your dad's back and didn't want to come down!" A gray mist gradually formed in the mother's eyes.

"Mom...... Okay, what's wrong with you? Huang Ying wiped the corners of her mother's eyes and said angrily.

"I'm fine!" Mother looked around the slightly simple bedroom, patted Huang Ying's hand and said: "Xiao Ying, mom is sorry for you, your father left early, and he didn't leave you anything, only this house is worth a few dollars, our family has lived here for decades, and the best time is all in this house, I originally wanted to keep a thought, and when I get old, it can be regarded as a dowry for you, but now...... Alas! ”

"Mom, don't worry about it, the difficulties are only temporary, and they will pass sooner or later." Huang Ying pretended to smile easily.

"You'd better sell this house!" Mother said calmly.

"Mom, what are you talking nonsense!" Huang Ying stood up suddenly, her voice a little excited. Of course, Huang Ying understood what her mother meant, although her mother had been lying on the sickbed for several months, she saw everything in her eyes and listened to everything, and her heart was like a mirror.

"You don't have to hold on any longer!" The mother looked at her daughter's face painfully and said.

Huang Ying squeezed out a smile and said, "Mom, don't say it again, I know what you're worried about." Okay, I'll tell you the truth, Xiao Li and I have nothing to do, he is Yifan's friend, so I did ask him to borrow some money, but it's not much, it's only tens of thousands of yuan, don't worry, a few days ago Yifan called me and told me that the company has raised wages again, so, it won't be long before I can pay back the money in two or three years at most, you don't have to think about it anymore, just recuperate with peace of mind! ”

"Really?" The mother asked softly, apparently not wanting to expose her daughter's lies any more.

"Of course it's true, Yifan gave me money later, but I didn't ask for it, I think it's borrowing money anyway, it's better to borrow one person's, fortunately, it doesn't cost much, it's enough." Huang Yingfu sat back beside her mother, tucked the quilt for her, and said with a smile: "Mom, this house was left to us by my father, and I will never sell it easily, because there are memories left to us by my father." By the way, Mom, I must have been born in this room, right? ”

"Yes, the due date is still a few days ago, you have been very quiet before, there is no sign at all, that night suddenly stomach aches, after a while the amniotic water will break, there is no phone at that time, there seems to be no ambulance, there is not even a bicycle at home, your father is in a hurry or something, all the way to the hospital to call the doctor, this person has not yet arrived at the hospital, you will come out when you say it, and when your father and the doctor come home, I will wrap you up well." The mother recalled, her face glowing with happiness.

"Mom, you're really capable!" Huang Ying exclaimed.

"Thanks to your father, when I was leaving, I remembered to knock on the door and call the grandmother on the other side to help watch me, otherwise I really don't have that much ability alone." Mother laughed.

"Is it Grandma Fan on the other side? It turns out that she is also my savior! ”

"yes, it's a pity that I'm gone!" At this thought, the mother's face darkened again.

"Mom......" Seeing this, Huang Ying called timidly.

The mother sighed and said, "Call him in, I have something to say to him." ”

"Mom, don't do it!" Huang Ying said a little reluctantly, she probably knew what her mother wanted to say to Xiao Li, she was afraid that after her mother made it clear to him, it would be more embarrassing and embarrassing for the two to see each other again.

"Don't worry, no matter what, he is our benefactor after all, I won't do anything, but call him in, I just want to talk to him casually." Mother insisted.

"Alright then!" Huang Ying was a little reluctant.

When I came out of the bedroom, I saw that there were already a few dishes on the table.

"I saw that you still have some dishes in the kitchen, so I made you a few casually, you can eat some quickly! I'll go first! Xiao Li took off his apron, but seemed to be a little cautious.

Huang Ying felt a trace of emotion in her heart, but then she was diluted by another trace of worry.

"Your mother called you, I have something to tell you." Huang Ying regained her composure and said softly: "Whatever she says, you just listen to it, don't take it too seriously." ”

"I understand." Xiao Li also estimated what his aunt would say.

"Auntie, you called me?" Xiao Li gently pushed open the door and screamed, approaching the side of the bed.

"Mr. Xiao, I'm not well, you better sit on the chair over there and stay away from me." Aunt Huang waved her hand with some difficulty.

"It's okay, there's nothing to do, I'm closer, you can save some effort when you speak." Xiao Li could hear the raw points in Aunt Huang's words, but he didn't think too much about it, and still sat down on the edge of her bed.

"Mr. Xiao, although you are Yifan's good friend, I still want to thank you for your good thanks, thank you for always helping us for Yifan." Aunt Huang saw that Xiao Li didn't care, but she still sat on the edge of the bed, but it was not easy to refuse. (To be continued......)
