Chapter Seventy-Seven: Behind Closed Doors

Meng Guoqiang looked at Meng Chuntao's figure walking away in a daze, and sighed heavily.

He stood still for a long time before dragging his heavy steps back to the emergency room.

The red light outside the emergency room is still on.

Zhao Di looked at Meng Guoqiang coming back, but she didn't see Meng Chuntao's figure, she couldn't help but stretch her neck to look into the corridor.

Zhao Di looked, Nian Di also craned her neck to watch.

"What are you looking at?"

Meng Guoqiang suddenly spoke, startling the sisters, they subconsciously shrunk their necks and spoke weakly: "We are looking at my sister, just now my sister said to buy food for us, why haven't we come back yet." ”

The hospital has a canteen, which is not far away, so it is convenient for doctors and patients to eat.

It stands to reason that it shouldn't take so long for my sister to buy something.

Meng Guoqiang was stunned for a moment, and then took out six cents from his pocket and gave it to the sisters: "Your sister has something to go out." You guys go to the hospital cafeteria to buy some food, do you know each other in the cafeteria? ”

Zhao Di carefully took the money and said, "Thank you, grandpa, we know each other, if you don't know each other, you can ask for directions." ”

Hearing this, Meng Guoqiang waved his hand and asked them to hurry up and buy something to eat.

As soon as the sisters left, a nurse came to Meng Guoqiang to pay the bill.

Meng Guoqiang pinched the pocket of his coat and followed the nurse.

Meng Chuntao went to the supply and marketing cooperatives first.

I bought some fruits, rice, flour and other grains, and then hurried to donkey riding alley.

Buying these things Meng Chuntao is also considered.

Fruits, rice, and flour, although not as good as cigarettes, are real things.

It fills your stomach solidly.

And these things are the most suitable for the little people.

After buying things, Meng Chuntao went to Riding Donkey Alley to inquire about Lao Chu's home.

As Lao Chu said, Meng Chuntao can find out when she goes there to inquire.

Guy Lao Chu's surname is special, and his family's surname is Chu in this alley.

Lao Chu's family is in the innermost room of Donkey Riding Alley, the alley is a narrow road, and Rude is lined with houses.

Low and low, they form two rows, basically one next to each other.

Meng Chuntao walked along the alleyway, walked to the innermost room, and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door was opened by an old lady and cracked.

Through the cracks, I could see that the room was dark.

And the old lady was full of silver hair, slightly hunched at the waist, and her face was engraved with the traces of time.

She saw that it was Meng Chuntao, and a touch of vigilance appeared in her eyes.

"Who are you looking for?" The old lady asked.

"Hello, I'm a friend of Brother Chu, does Brother Chu live here?"

Hearing that Meng Chuntao was here to find Lao Chu, the old lady's guard between her eyebrows relaxed a lot, and she also had a smile on her face.

She opened the door and turned sideways, "Xiao Chu is out, you can come in first." ”

Meng Chuntao hurriedly thanked her and followed the old lady into the house.

As soon as Meng Chuntao entered the house, the old lady closed the door and locked it.

The room was plunged into darkness for a moment.

Meng Chuntao chuckled in his heart, and many plots had flashed through his mind.

I'm afraid this old lady is not a human trafficker, right?

This time it was replaced by Meng Chuntao's vigilance.

She took a defensive step back and asked:

"Auntie, why are you closing?"

"Hey, get used to it. It's dark in the house, I'll turn on the lights. ”

As the words fell, the old lady reached for the switch of the light.

With a click, the tungsten lamp lit up instantly.

As the lights turned on, Meng Chuntao breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Chuntao briefly looked at the room and found that the things inside were extremely simple.

Two beds were placed side by side by the doorway, one against the east wall, and one near the west wall, with curtains now fastened next to the bed.

It is estimated that it will be pulled down when sleeping. At the foot of the bed on the east side are stacked cabinets, next to which are two large wooden chests.

A small table is crammed between the two beds.

Behind the west side of the bed were buckets, stoves, pots, stoves, and coals.

The small room was jammed with these things, and it was instantly packed.

The old lady turned around and poured a glass of water and handed it to Meng Chuntao.

"Sit down, what are you looking for my son?"

Meng Chuntao took the water and glanced at the old lady in surprise.

"It turns out that Brother Chu is your son." Meng Chuntao breathed a sigh of relief, took the water and thanked the old lady, and also gave the old lady a share of the fruit and rice flour she had just bought.

She bought two copies of these things in total.

I want to give one to Lao Chu and one to Lao Chu's old Chinese medicine doctor.

Seeing what Meng Chuntao handed over, Aunt Chu didn't rush to take it, and looked at Meng Chuntao suspiciously and vigilantly.

"No merit is not rewarded, although my old woman is old, this truth is still understood. Little girl, if you have something, just tell me. ”

Seeing that Aunt Chu refused to take things, Meng Chuntao put things on the table.

"Auntie, I won't hide it from you, I came to find Brother Chu because my mother was seriously injured in the hospital. I heard Brother Chu say that he knew an old Chinese medicine doctor, and I wanted to ask him to come over and have a look. Auntie, do you know the Chinese medicine that Brother Chu said? ”

When Aunt Chu heard this, her face tightened, and she said coldly: "I don't know, I'm sorry little girl, Auntie can't help you." You'd better take your things and go! ”

After speaking, Aunt Chu opened the door with the things on the table, pushed Meng Chuntao out, and stuffed the things back into her arms.

Meng Chuntao didn't expect that Aunt Chu, who looked weak, had a lot of strength.

Before she could react, the person was pushed out the door.

Syllable!

The door slammed shut!

Meng Chuntao crossed over by himself, and it was the first time he had eaten closed-door soup.

She was stunned for a moment, only to feel that this closed-door soup was a little inexplicable.

If you come to Brother Chu, you will open the door, but when it comes to finding a doctor, you will directly push people out!

Meng Chuntao felt strange in her heart, and a thought flashed in her heart.

Aunt Chu must know where that Chinese medicine doctor is!

Meng Chuntao knocked on the door for a while, but Aunt Chu was reluctant to open it.

There was no way, Meng Chuntao had to carry her things and go back.

I just walked to the mouth of the alley, but I saw Lao Chu coming over.

Meng Chuntao's eyes lit up and beckoned to Lao Chu.

"Brother Chu!"

The sound is crisp and bright, like a mountain spring knocking jade.

Lao Chu looked up, saw Meng Chuntao, his eyes lit up, and he rode a tricycle to Meng Chuntao's side.

"Comrade, why are you here?"

"I came to you and wanted you to help introduce the old Chinese medicine doctor. Whether you can help me or not, please accept these things, this is my heart. Meng Chuntao stuffed the things that Aunt Chu didn't want just now into the tricycle.

"You're too polite, you, have you seen my mother?" Lao Chu asked.

Meng Chuntao nodded.

"Then you go back with me first." Lao Chu rode the car to his home, and Meng Chuntao pushed the car and walked behind.

After a while, I walked back to the innermost part of the alley.

This time, Lao Chu made a forbidden gesture to Meng Chuntao and walked at the door and knocked on the door.

"Mom, open the door, I'm back!"

Meng Chuntao stood silently behind Lao Chu.

Hearing Lao Chu's voice, Aunt Chu opened the door.

Seeing Meng Chuntao behind Lao Chu, displeasure crossed her eyes, "Why did you bring her over." ”

"Mom, if you're all friends, let's help." Lao Chu said while squeezing straight into the door, so that Aunt Chu had no chance to close the door.

No matter how ruthless Aunt Chu is to the outside world, she can't be ruthless to her own son.

I had to turn sideways and let them in.

"Mom, do you remember that today I brought two quilts from home, just to pick up this comrade's family. At that time, it was miserable, lying on the ground, estimated to have multiple fractures on the body, and I didn't know if there was bleeding in the internal organs. Mom, you can help her. ”

Lao Chu put the things brought by Yiping on the ground, pulled Aunt Chu's arm, and pleaded.

Only then did Meng Chuntao understand that the Chinese medicine that Lao Chu was talking about turned out to be his own mother!
