"Low on the left, okay, okay." In the summer, he ate potato chips, and stilted his legs to command Xia Xi to post the word Fu.

"I bought so many Fu character New Year paintings, but I didn't do it myself, it's true." Xia Xi got down from the small stool and complained.

"I'm going to make a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner later." Summer leaned her neck and poured the rest of the chips into her mouth, the bag of chips was about the size of her head.

Xia Xi finally pasted a few blessing characters on the glass of the bedroom, and then picked up a broom to clean up the tape and shredded paper on the floor, as well as the snack residue at his feet in the summer.

"You are so sloppy, will you be able to marry in the future? Lift your feet......"

"If I can't get married, I'll live with you."

"Oh, you want me to raise you for nothing."

"I'm so cute, my second sister-in-law will definitely stay at home, and I can also help take care of my nephew."

The fingers holding the broom tightened unconsciously, and his eyes were empty, as if he were just an empty shell.

"If you don't transplant, the situation is not very optimistic." The director said to him at the time, "Now start to quit drinking and smoking, and bring your immediate family members over as soon as possible, you are so young, and the possibility of cure is very great." ”

Out of the director's office, Xia Xi sat on the cold plastic chair in the hall on the first floor, looking back and forth at the various data that he couldn't understand......

"What is this?"

"I will never come to the hospital unless I have to, and if I come, I will be sentenced to death."

"Immediate family? They wish I was going to die. ”

"More than 500,000 ......"

Xia Xi threw the medical records aside, drooping his head, the treatment fee was like two mountains and he couldn't look up, and after a fierce psychological struggle, he made a choice.

How can you sleep without alcohol?

Besides, all this is retribution, and he should pay for his life if he hurt his own brother.

Let's live one day at a time.

Coke bubbled out from the mouth of the bottle, and Summer ran towards Xia Xi with it.

"Brother—hurry—"

The cold cola smacked Xia Xi's face, and the conditioned reflex of his body made him pick up the broom in his hand and knock off the Coke bottle.

The bottle swirled on the ground, and the Coke kept bubbling out, spraying all over the floor and in the corners of the walls, like spinning fireworks.

"I'm really convinced of you, you clean up yourself, I'll go out to buy things, and I'll come back later." Xia Xi threw the broom angrily, picked up the down jacket hanging at the entrance and went out.

Summer poked her head out and asked him, "Today is thirty, are there still shops open?" ”

The elevator opened with a clang, and Xia Xi walked straight in: "Many shops will be open until the afternoon, you quickly close the door." ”

"Oh."

Xia Xi took a car and went to the digital mall in the city center, although it was Chinese New Year's Eve, there were no fewer pedestrians on the street.

The money earned in the past few years, in addition to daily expenses and buying alcohol and cigarettes, the rest is basically saved, deducting the jewelry bought for the summer last time, there is less than 150,000 left.

Originally, I planned to hand over everything after my death to San'er, hold a simple funeral, and buy an ordinary cemetery......

If there is still some left, it will be left to San'er as a hard fee, and if there is no left, he will repay him in the next life.

"If I knew this, I should have drunk less, not to mention spending money, and even my life was involved." Xia Xi sighed and walked into a specialty store.

"We're closing." When Xia Xi stepped into the store, she said.

The woman didn't look like a clerk, she was calculating at the bar, nonchalantly raising her eyelids and glancing at Xia Xi above the monitor.

"Then I'll just buy something more expensive." Xia Xi said.

She thought he was just coming in and walking around, but she didn't expect to pay so quickly.

"Need anything else?" Her courteous appearance is the same as before.

"Holster." Xia Xi said, "For girls, pink, blue, purple, ......"

"I'm sorry." She was afraid that Xia Xi would regret asking for a refund now, "The holster is only black, in addition to these gifts, how about I give you an additional Bluetooth headset?" I sell hundreds of them in my store. ”

Xia Xi frowned, the black was too dull.

"That's it, I will buy it after the year, I will buy a few more colorful ones, and call you when it arrives, and give you the cost price."

Seeing her begging eyes, Xia Xi reluctantly agreed.

There are many restaurants around the mall that are still open, through the floor-to-ceiling door, Xia Xi saw a few people dressed like migrant workers drinking in a barbecue restaurant, he pushed open the door and walked in, asking for 20 skewers and 3 taels of liquor.

Since Xia Xi came, Xia Xi has never touched alcohol again, and he has quit smoking, what he once thought was difficult, it turned out to be effortless to do.

I'm afraid that after I leave in the summer, the cigarettes and alcohol will be picked up again.

In less than half a month, the summer is about to return to school, and Xia Xi is now in the sadness of parting.

He took a sip of wine, and it was so spicy that he burst into tears.

The boss saw him rubbing the bridge of his nose and "crying", so he sat down opposite him.

"What's wrong? Lad. ”

Xia Xi raised his head, pretended to be "I'm fine" and said, "The wine is too bitter." ”

The boss knew in his heart that it was not the wine that was bitter, but his heart.

"I'll change the beer for you, daughter-in-law, and bring me some snacks."

The proprietress opened them two bottles of beer, and brought them peanuts and a few vegetables.

The boss personally poured wine for Xia Xi.

"There is no hurdle in this world that cannot be overcome, for example, I ......" he took a sip of wine, "The doctor said at the time that I had advanced bowel cancer and there was no hope, but I didn't dare to die, the old and the young, what should they do if I die?" ”

Xia Xi saw that although he was bald, he was fat and ruddy, and he didn't look like a cancer patient.

"I can only do it to death, I will do whatever I want to make money, and one day I will leave, so I can leave them more money. I didn't expect it, after I didn't think about anything, I really didn't feel so uncomfortable, I had chemotherapy a few times, and the effect was not bad. He glanced at his wife and children watching TV next to him, "I have one more day to live now, my daughter-in-law will have a husband, and my son will have a father." ”

"You're lucky that not every cancer patient recovers so well." Xia Xi took a sip of beer and immediately put down his glass again, "It's still bitter." ”

"You can't be lucky, mentality determines everything, and the power of belief is very strong." He snatched Xia Xi's wine glass, "Don't drink it bitterly, I'll cook you some dumplings?" ”

Xia Xi declined, packed the skewers and left after settling the account.

The boss personally sent him to the door, and said that he could come to the store to sit if he was bored in the future, and he accompanied him to drink and chat.

"What a kind man." When Xia Xi arrived at the door, he grabbed the wooden skewer in his hand and knocked on the door with the back of his hand, and the skewers were cold, but he could still smell the fragrance.

"Are you here, brother?"

"Hmm."

Summer was wearing an apron and sniffed Xia Xi who had just entered the door, and then raised his face and asked him dissatisfiedly, "You actually secretly ate barbecue?" ”

Xia Xi took the skewers to her and said, "Buy them and eat them with you." ”

Summer sniffed the plastic bag on the skewers and said, "It's quite fragrant, so I bought so many skewers?" Here's what you're left over, right? ”

He is alive and has an older brother in the summer, which can be regarded as a kind of belief!

But if you want to live, how can you rely only on the belief that you can't see or touch?

Appropriate liver and surgery fees are all things that cannot be ignored.

He has disappeared for more than 5 years, for the summer, it is no different from death, without surgery, his days will not be many left, will she taste the pain of losing her brother again?

It's a gift from God to be able to reunite with my sister this time, so after sending her on the train, let's leave again.

Xia Xi tilted his head to look at Summer, his sad gaze was about to pull Summer into his miserable inner world.

What kind of mentality has he had in the past few years to live alone, as a younger sister, how could he not know?

Summer asked him distressedly: "Is it too early to start dinner now?" ”

Xia Xi took the handbag to her and said, "Open the gift first." ”

"Wow-" Summer put the skewers on the floor, wiped her hands on her apron, and said, "It looks like a flatbed!" ”

Xia Xi smiled and said, "You can't use your mobile phone to watch the Spring Festival Gala at night, it's too small." ”

Summer entered the bedroom, sat on the floor and carefully opened the box, and after Xia Xi washed his hands, he found that there were 7 dishes on the coffee table, basically fried goods and cooked food.

"This is the Chinese New Year's Eve meal you made? Chicken fillet, chicken cutlet, squid ring, ......"

"Yes, it's fried twice, by the way, there's a pig's knuckle in the pot, and I braised it myself." In the summer, I plugged in the tablet and turned it on.

Xia Xi took out the pork knuckles, just enough for 8 dishes.

"The braised pork bun you bought?"

"Well, throw it in the pot, watch the fire, just don't dry the pot."

"What about dumplings? Also bought a quick-frozen? ”

"No, I have all the dumpling wrappers and fillings I bought, and we will wrap them together in the middle of the night." Summer fiddles with the tablet and can't put it down.

"Do you like it?" Seeing this, Xia Xi asked with a smile.

"Like, this is expensive, isn't it?" Summer asked him, pointing to the logo.

"It's not expensive if you like it." Xia Xi said, "But the leather case only has this color, and there is nothing pink, so I'll buy it for you when the goods are delivered." ”

"No need, the powder is good." Summer was busy connecting to the Internet, and replied to him in a daze.

"I mean no......" Xia Xi was stunned, and the question that had been bothering him was answered.

It became clearer and clearer like a cloud.

"Every day, put on the powder leather case first to avoid wear out the corners." Xia Xi deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "powder".

"Oh." In the summer, he obediently put on a black "coat" for the tablet.

Turns out she can't recognize colors!

So you can't see my dull yellow eyes.

Impossible......

Xia Xi clenched his fists tightly, still unable to believe it.

So he was going to make sure again: "Every day, your pajamas had better be washed separately from the rest of your clothes, because it stains your socks red." ”

Summer touched her socks and asked suspiciously, "Is there one?" ”

Xia Xi's voice was smaller than that of a mosquito: "It's a little red." ”

The pajamas she was wearing at this time were obviously gray.

"That's fine." After downloading the live TV in the summer, I turned on the central one and said happily, "Brother, look at it, the picture is really clear." ”

"How did I find out until today?" This cruel fact dealt Xia Xi another heavy blow.

My heart has long been full of holes, and I still have tears of bitterness and regret in my heart, and I can't be discovered by my sister, so it's good to pretend not to know for the time being.

The thoughts I had when I first walked in the door now seem so vile and unforgiving.

It doesn't matter if his illness is cured or not, the important thing at this time is to show his sister his eyes first, and he must cure her eyes, and if necessary, he can also take his eyes, anyway, he won't live long.

"Oh, brother, the skewers aren't hot, and there are 9 dishes for it." In the summer, put the flat plate and go out to get the skewers.

"Nine is nine." Xia Xi took the opportunity to wipe his eyes with a tissue.

"How do you want to heat it? It's okay to fry it, okay? Summer asked.

"I'll do it." Xia Xi then came to the kitchen and took the skewers in her hand, "You go play, WeChat keeps ringing." ”
