In the laughter of sister-in-law Jiang and He Hui, the second sister-in-law, Jiang Li's eyebrows were full of smiles, pretending to be her daughter's coquettishness: "I'm really leaving, but before I leave, I still have to say a word, hard sisters-in-law!" ”

"It's just such a little work, but it doesn't tire us!"

Sister-in-law Jiang shook her head with a smile, waved her hand at Jiang Li, and then looked at He Hui: "Our Li Bao is as naughty as ever, right?"

"That's right, but it's good to be naughty, it's lively."

The dialogue between He Hui and Jiang's sister-in-law undoubtedly treated Jiang Li as a child, which made Jiang Li can't help but have a hot face: "I am already a mature adult!" ”

With that, she pulled her legs and left.

It's shameful.

In fact, the second sister-in-law Jiang and He Hui, the second sister-in-law, are a lot older than Jiang Li, after all, Jiang's eldest brother Jiang Li is twenty years old, and the second brother Jiang Guosheng is eighteen, as far as the age of the two is concerned, it is completely reasonable to say that there is a daughter as old as Jiang Li.

In fact, in terms of Jiang Yiyang's age, there is a year difference between him and Jiang Li.

But Brother Jiang dotes on Jiang Li much more than he loves his own son.

As wives, Jiang's sister-in-law and sister-in-law sing with their wives, so there is no need to say much about Jiang Li's pampering.

As for He Hui and Jiang Guosheng, as well as Jiang Sange and Jiang Siwei, they spoil Jiang Li no less than Brother Jiang.

Therefore, in the eyes of several brothers and sisters-in-law, Jiang Li is really a child, even if Jiang Li is nearly thirty years old now, she is still a little girl in the eyes of her sisters-in-law.

Well, although Jiang Guoan is the same age as Jiang Li, but, to tell the truth, he also loves Jiang Li very much.

Otherwise, Wang Pan would not be jealous just because Jiang Guoan was good to Jiang Li, and he couldn't help but want to pick on Jiang Li when he saw him.

……

After breakfast the next day, Jiang Guosheng's family went back to the station, because Jiang Guosheng and He Hui had to go to work and could no longer stay in the courtyard.

After Jiang Guosheng left with his wife and children, Jiang Guoan and Jiang Yihong accompanied their wives and children to their respective fathers-in-law's houses.

"Let's go, I'll drop you and the kids off the way to your parents."

This is Jiang Li's voice, she was about to take her own children to the Jiang family's old house, and when she saw Lin Dan carrying a bag in one hand and holding a child in the other, she couldn't help but smile and say something.

"No, no, I'll just go out and take the bus."

Lin Dan declined, she didn't want to trouble Jiang Li.

"Listen to me."

Jiang Li said, took the travel bag that Lin Dan was carrying, and gently pushed Lin Dan to sit in the passenger seat.

She put her travel bag in the trunk.

"Sit all down?"

Sitting in the driver's seat, Jiang Li turned his head to look at the back seat.

"Hmm."

Mingrui and Minghan Mingwei nodded, and were hugged by them, and the dumplings and tangyuan guoguo sitting on their laps also nodded their little heads.

Retracting his gaze, Jiang Li told Lin Dan: "Hold the child well." ”

Lin Dan let out a light "um".

Through the half-open window, Jiang Li, Captain Jiang, Cai Xiufen, Brother Jiang and other countries started the car, held the steering wheel, and the car slowly drove out of the hospital gate.

Sending Lin Dan's mother and son safely to the gate of the family courtyard where the Lin family lived, Jiang Li took out Lin Dan's travel bag from the trunk, and saw someone calling this nephew.

"I called my parents before I went out."

Hearing his parents' voices, Lin Dan had a smile on his face.

Jiang Li naturally knew Lin's father and Lin's mother, and after the two approached, she smiled and said hello, handed Lin Dan's travel bag to Lin's father, and said hello without chatting much, and sat back in the driver's seat.

"Sister-in-law, pay attention to safety on the road!"

Stuffing his son into his mother's hand, Lin Dan went to the side of the car and waved his hand with a smile.

Jiang Li nodded, she said, "It's cold outside, go home with your parents, don't freeze the child." As the sound fell, she drove away under Lin Dan's gaze.

The holiday passed quickly, and Jiang Liniang and Jiang Liniang accompanied Jiang Boya and Jiang Hongfa in the Jiang family's old house for less than a week, and it was the day of registration for the new semester.

Time passed day by day, and it was less than two months before the Mingrui college entrance examination in a blink of an eye.

In order to ensure that Mingrui can get a good score in the college entrance examination, led by Jiang Li, the adults and children in the family are very quiet every day, trying not to make loud noises, affecting Mingrui's study and rest.

And in the food, Mingrui is supplemented with nutrients, so as not to lack any kind of nutrition, resulting in a lack of spiritual qi.

On this day, Ming Rui finished his evening self-study and was driven home by Jiang Li, he hesitated for a while and called Jiang Li softly: "Mom." ”

"Huh?"

Jiang Li was driving the car, and when she heard Ming Rui's voice, she looked at her big eyes: "If you have something, just say it, Mom listen." ”

"Actually, my family doesn't have to treat me specially, and it's still early before the college entrance examination, if it's because of me, my family is suppressed, I can't talk loudly or laugh, I feel very sorry."

The corners of his lips pursed slightly, Mingrui was silent for a moment, and continued: "I've reviewed almost completely, it doesn't matter if I go home and read for a while, or if I don't read." ”

Jiang Li: "It's the family that puts pressure on you, right?" ”

"No, it's not that my family puts pressure on me, it's that I don't want to put pressure on my family because of me."

Ming Rui hurriedly explained, reiterating his meaning, this is true, he is just facing the college entrance examination, and it is not a matter of life and death, and he needs his family to make "sacrifices" for him, even talking loudly at home, not even laughing.

"Okay, mom knows, from tomorrow onwards, the family will return to the way it used to be." After listening to Ming Rui's words, Jiang Li didn't have to think too much, and guessed that it was the atmosphere at home that made her good son feel pressure invisibly, not that he himself was under pressure, it was his family's practices that made the teenager feel pressure, which is not good.

With this understanding, Jiang Li naturally had to make a change, so that the family would not continue to be tense and create pressure on Mingrui.

"Mom......"

"Huh?"

"I promise to get good grades!"

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, let's just play normally."

"Okay."

Ming Rui nodded, but what he thought in his heart was that he wanted to make a long face for his parents and strive to become the top student in the college entrance examination like his parents. Of course, if you think about it, you can't relax in the pre-exam review, strive to review in place, review solidly, and then walk into the exam room with a calm mind.

But no one expected that on a weekend evening more than 20 days before the college entrance examination, on the way back from his classmates, Ming Rui was injured by gangsters because of his righteousness and bravery.

After receiving a call from the hospital, Jiang Li's heartstrings tightened, and he drove to the hospital alone without telling the children at home.

The left arm was comminuted, two ribs were broken, and the person had been pushed into the operating room, which Jiang Li learned after rushing to the hospital.

"Aunt Jiang, woo...... I'm sorry, Brother Ming Rui was injured by the bad guys to save me......"

The girl cried and blamed herself, Jiang Li looked cold, but her eyes could not hide her anxiety and worry, she did not respond to the other party.

"Tongtong!"

The sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near, the person who came was a gay man, and he knew Jiang Li, he was full of anxiety, and as soon as he walked to the girl's side, he said: "Okay, don't cry, Dad is here!" ”

casually comforting his daughter, the man turned his gaze to Jiang Li: "Mingrui's condition is okay with that child?" ”

"I had a comminuted fracture of my left arm, two broken ribs, and now I am undergoing surgery, and if there are any other problems, I will have to wait until the end of the operation to know."

Jiang Li glanced at the other party and responded casually.

"I'm sorry!"

The man bowed deeply to Jiang Li.

However, Jiang Li staggered, she said: "I already understand the general situation of the incident, it is not your daughter's fault, it is my son who acted bravely and was accidentally injured by the gangsters." ”

said so, but Jiang Li regretted it very much at the moment, and couldn't drive to his classmate's house to pick up Mingrui, so that Mingrui had an accident on the way back.

It must be mentioned here that Mingrui's tablemate had surgery for acute appendicitis a week ago, and he couldn't go back to school to review in time after being discharged from the hospital, so he called Mingrui and asked Mingrui, a tablemate, to come to his house to give him a few questions.

Due to the good relationship between the two, Ming Rui agreed immediately after receiving the call, saying that he would go to each other's house this weekend, that is, today.

Unexpectedly, near the evening, the two at the same table said goodbye, Ming Rui came out of the family courtyard where the other party's family lived, passed through a small alley, and saw a girl being dragged off the bicycle by three young people, obviously trying to mistreat the girl.

recognized the girl as Minghan Mingwei's classmate, a little girl in the compound, and there was a great possibility that she was a half-brother and sister with him, Mingrui naturally couldn't let it go.

Well, even if he didn't know him, in this situation, Mingrui still couldn't turn a blind eye, so he ran directly forward and rescued the girl without saying a word.

As a result, the young man told him not to meddle in his affairs, otherwise, he would bear the consequences.

Ming Rui spoke sharply, angrily reprimanding the three of them for being useless, and seeing that one of the young people in society was even more fist-struck at him, where could he take care of anything else, so he fought with the other party.

Seeing that the other party did not have the upper hand, clinker, another social youth joined in.

Ming Rui has practiced fist and foot kung fu with Jiang Li since he was a child, and he also learned a few hands with the Jiang family's bodyguards, and one person is more than enough for two young people in society.

But the bad thing is that the other party is three people, and the third young man who joined the society actually held a stick about one meter long in his hand, this stick was very strong at a glance, the other party held it tightly in his hand, looked hideous, and slammed it hard at Mingrui's head.

This move was too fast, Ming Rui knew that he couldn't dodge, so he used his left arm to resist in a hurry, and the result was a "click" sound, and his left arm was directly broken by the other party.

The girl, that is, Xiao Tong, cried and shouted for help!

When someone rushed over at the mouth of the alley, Ming Rui had been knocked to the ground by the young people of the society, with bloodshot on the corners of his mouth, protecting his head as much as possible, and enduring the young people of the society.

There were seven or eight people who heard the cry for help and ran over, and they were running from both ends of the alley, and the young people of the society realized that something was wrong and wanted to flee, but they were all caught.

From the kind people who sent Ming Rui to the hospital, Jiang Li could say what he could say? Say that your children shouldn't be brave? This is certainly not a no-no.

After all, children have three positive views, and when they encounter bad people bullying girls, if they pretend not to see it and turn around and go in the other direction, from a personal point of view, although it is not wrong, but from a moral standpoint, it is too indifferent.

What's more, the girl who was bullied was Xiao Tong, if Ming Rui really didn't care about it, because of the development of the situation, I am afraid that she would feel guilty for the rest of her life, and even hate herself today.

"But Mingrui's kid was injured in order to save Tongtong."

Xiao Jin looked apologetic, and the worry in his eyes was undisguised: "In this way, I will be responsible for Mingrui's surgery and hospitalization fees, as well as the later nutrition expenses." ”

It was his son lying in the operating room, even if he didn't recognize the child, but the blood relationship continued, and if it weren't for the child, Tongtong would be ruined today, thinking so, Xiao Jin couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, and at the same time felt distressed for Mingrui.

At this moment, he only hopes that Mingrui's situation is not too serious, otherwise, it will not be good to miss the college entrance examination.

"No, you don't."

Jiang Li shook his head.

"It stands to reason that my family will bear all the expenses of Mingrui in the hospital, not to mention that I am ......"

What's more, I am Mingrui's biological father, Xiao Jin didn't fully say it in the second half of the sentence, he knew that he was not qualified to call himself Mingrui's father in front of Jiang Li, after all, he had never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father for a day.

Even if it wasn't his fault, because he didn't know that he had such a son in the first place, what did he do for that child after he knew?

No, he didn't do anything.

Although it's not that he doesn't want to, he can't, but this still makes him unworthy of claiming to be Mingrui's father.

Xiao Jin smiled bitterly in his heart.

It's not that he is selfish, he is afraid that admitting Mingrui will affect his current family or have any impact on his work, but he doesn't want to add a psychological burden to Mingrui, he doesn't want to be shameless, pick peaches from Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing, and don't want to shame Mingrui's life experience because of the existence of his biological father.

Therefore, after Xiao Jin learned that Mingrui was his blood, he pondered and made a decision again and again, as long as it was not conducive to Mingrui, he would not do it.

That was probably the only thing he could do for Mingrui!

"If you insist, then it's up to you." Jiang Li knew that if she insisted on refusing, the person in front of her would definitely not be upset, and she might become a heart disease.

That's it, since the other party is willing to bear all the expenses of her eldest son in the hospital, she will do as he wishes!

More than two hours later, the lights on the operating room door went out.

There was a "clang" sound, and the operating room door opened from the inside.

Seeing the doctor come out, Jiang Li and Xiao Jin hurriedly asked about Mingrui's situation, and were told that the operation went smoothly and the patient's condition was stable...... It is determined that Ming Rui is not in danger of life, and the internal organs are fine, and then he only needs to raise it, and there is no problem in recovering his health.

Jiang Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Jin is the same.

……

"Why didn't your eldest brother come back from his fellow students?" The night had completely fallen, Cai Xiufen stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking left and right, neither saw Ming Rui's figure, nor did she see Jiang Li driving back, and couldn't help but chatter: "And your mother, seeing that the sky is dark, but after answering a phone call, she drove out without saying a word, and there is no shadow until now." ”

Mingwei stood beside her, and when she heard this, she smiled slightly and said, "My eldest brother may be kept by his classmates for dinner, as for my mother, eighty percent of them have something important to go out to deal with, so they didn't bother to say hello to grandma." ”

"But why am I so up-and-down in my heart?"

Cai Xiufen frowned: "Since your mother drove away, I have felt flustered, otherwise, let's go and call your mother, right?" Call your eldest brother's classmate's home again and ask if your eldest brother is gone. ”

After listening to Cai Xiufen's words, Ming Wei said: "I don't know the phone number of my eldest brother's classmate, so let's go call my mother first and ask my mother to see if my eldest brother has contacted her?" ”

"That's it, that's it."

Cai Xiufen has no opinion.

"Hey, Mom, it's me, where are you now?"

In the living room, Mingwei dialed Jiang Li's mobile phone and asked, when she heard that Jiang Li was in the hospital, her heart immediately "sighed", but before she could make a sound, Jiang Li's voice came again: "Don't panic, it's not that something happened to your mother, it's your eldest brother who had an accident because of righteousness and bravery, and this will be no big deal......

Listening to Jiang Li talk about Mingrui's situation, Mingwei still couldn't feel at ease: "Mom, or I'll ...... it"

Without waiting for her to say more, Jiang Li's voice came through the microphone again: "Obedient, don't panic, your eldest brother will be in the ward, and your mother will accompany you, don't be surprised, lest your grandma, your second brother, and Tuanzi worry when they find out, by the way, you will give the phone to your grandma in a while, and your mother will say a few words to your grandma." In addition, I will call the old house, your grandfather has been at home recently, and with him, my mother will take the time to go home. ”

Mingwei: "I know, then I'll give the phone to grandma." ”

Jiang Li: "Hmm".

Cai Xiufen: "Li Bao." ”

"Mother, it's my ......" Jiang Li lied, explaining that Rui stayed at the same school tonight, and she would come back later if she had something to do, so she didn't have to wait for her to have dinner, after listening to him, Cai Xiufen responded: "Okay, my mother knows, you drive back and pay attention to safety." ”

"Okay."

Jiang Li responded with a smile.

Cai Xiufen: "Then this, I'll hang up." ”

Jiang Li: "Goodbye." ”

At the end of the call, Cai Xiufen put the microphone back on the landline, she said: "Don't wait for your mother and your eldest brother, one of them will come back later, and the other will stay at the same school tonight, let's have dinner now." ”

Mingwei: "I'll set the dishes and chopsticks." With that, Mingwei got up from the sofa and disappeared outside the door of the living room in a blink of an eye.

Before the start of school, Jiang Liniang and the elders lived in the courtyard of Shuimu University with the elders of the Jiang Brigade.

"To tell you the truth, our mother didn't come back so late, where is the person?" After dinner, Mingwei took the three dumplings to walk in the yard to eat, and then took care of the three dumplings to wash until the three went to bed, she returned to her room and prepared to go to bed, but Minghan knocked on the door and asked when she came in.

"Didn't grandma say it all when she was eating, our mother was busy with things outside......" Before he could say the last words, he was truncated by Minghan: "You lie!" ”

Mingwei frowned: "Why should I lie?" ”

"You have to ask yourself." Minghan said: "At the dinner meeting, I saw it very clearly, you obviously have something on your mind, and your mind is related to our mother." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Mingwei's mouth tightened, and she didn't speak for a long time.

"Is our mother's going out with the eldest brother?"

Minghan said: "Tomorrow is going to school on Monday, and it is impossible for the eldest brother to stay at his classmate's house tonight." ”

Mingwei: "Why can't it?" The eldest brother can go to school from his fellow students. ”

"Assignments. Big brother's homework is at home! As soon as Minghan's words came out, for a while, Mingwei didn't know how to answer, seeing this, Minghan raised his eyebrows: "There's nothing to say, right?" ”

"Okay, I'll tell you." Mingwei no longer hesitated, she said: "Our mother is taking care of my eldest brother in the hospital." ”

"What?"

Minghan's eyes widened: "What's wrong with big brother?" His eyes were full of anxiety and worry: "Tell me quickly, what happened to the eldest brother, how could he appear in the hospital?" Is there also a serious situation with the eldest brother? ”

"Righteousness and bravery, the eldest brother was injured by the gangsters in the righteousness and bravery, but my mother said that the eldest brother had surgery and is not in danger of life now."

Jiang Li did not explain on the phone that Rui was injured in order to save Xiao Tong, but simply told Ming Wei that Ming Rui was injured by gangsters in the name of righteousness.

Minghan: "Which hospital?" I'm going to see Big Brother now! ”

Mingwei: "Don't make trouble for your mother!" ”

"I'm going to the hospital to see my eldest brother, are we just making trouble for our mother?" Minghan glared at Mingwei: "Do you want to be together?" ”

"Do you want grandma to know?"

Mingwei said: "Grandma is old, if you know that your eldest brother is injured and hospitalized, what will happen to them in a hurry?" ”

"I ......"

The corners of Minghan's mouth twitched, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.

"Mom didn't tell grandma directly on the phone, and asked me to hide it from grandma, because I was afraid that grandma and grandpa would be anxious when they found out, and what kind of movement are you going to make now, it's hard to guarantee that grandpa won't see any clues."

"But big brother will be lying in the hospital!"

"Didn't you hear what I said? Mom said that the eldest brother's life is not in danger now, so let's not worry. ”

"You didn't tell me, I asked from you myself."

Minghan's eyes were full of resentment: "Luo Mingwei, I am your second brother, you shouldn't hide it from me if something happens to your eldest brother." ”

"You think I'm willing to hold it in my heart? I'm not uncomfortable and flustered, worried that after telling you, you were startled and attracted the attention of my grandmother. Giving Minghan a roll of the eyes, Mingwei said: "We have to cooperate with our mother to see what arrangements my mother has next." ”

"This is about to take the college entrance examination, and I don't know if the eldest brother's situation can recover before the college entrance examination."

Minghan voiced his concerns.

"We can't help it no matter how anxious we are, it's better to wait for my mother to come back and ask carefully, but I think my eldest brother should be able to take the college entrance examination smoothly." After a moment's pause, Mingwei continued: "Even if you miss it, you will participate next year." ”

At about half past ten, Jiang Li returned home, and she parked the car at the gate of the courtyard.

In order not to wake up the family, she entered Mingrui's room lightly, quickly packed up a few sets of clothes and toiletries, went to the kitchen to get a lunch box, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Mom!"

Putting things in the car, Jiang Li heard Minghan's voice behind him, and couldn't help but turn around, and saw Minghan standing at the gate of the courtyard at some point.

"You...... What are you doing standing at the gate of the courtyard without sleeping at night? ”

Jiang Li leaned her back against the car door, and she wrinkled her eyebrows to look at Ming Han.

"Is my eldest brother's injury serious?"

Minghan gets straight to the point.

"Vivi told you?" Jiang Li was asking, but he actually knew the answer in his heart, and seeing Minghan nodding, she said: "The left arm was comminuted and fractured, and two ribs were broken, the operation went well, and everything else is fine." ”

Minghan: "Influence my eldest brother to take the college entrance examination, right?" ”

"The right hand is fine, the leg is fine, there are still about twenty days before the college entrance examination, and there will be no problem for your eldest brother to walk into the examination room."

Then catch the insects...
