Chapter Eleven The Girl Next Door
Reunion of the whole family, with three generations living under one roof, is the warmest memory in everyone's heart. Grandpa Li and Grandma Li smiled from ear to ear. Their sweet grandson grew taller and stronger. Looking at their talented grandson, the two elders saw Li
The hope of home.
Not long after Li Kaihe's family of three arrived home, seven aunts and eight aunts who heard the news came to Li's house one after another. They greeted Li Xuyang and praised him for his handsome appearance and decent conversation.
The noise gradually calmed down until about ten o'clock after dinner. The whole family gathered around the stove and had a good time. A figure suddenly flashed in Li Xuyang's mind. He had never seen Gao Luoluo. Ordinarily, Luoluo should come over.
Lively and lively.
Luo Luo and Li Xuyang are the same age, three months younger than him. They grew up playing together. Luo Luo's home is about meters away from Li Xuyang's hometown, so they can be considered neighbors. Luo Luo's appearance clearly emerged in his mind: Tie-up
She has two pigtails, her eyes are round and translucent, shining with mischief and wisdom, her pretty face is pink, and she pouts her mouth when she is angry.
Li Xuyang was most afraid of Gao Luoluo's anger. When he saw the tears in Luoluo's eyes, he was always at a loss and couldn't comfort him.
Isn't she at home? Luo Luo studied two years later than Li Xuyang, and should be in her third year of high school now.
When Li Xuyang left his hometown, Luo Luo was just in the first grade of junior high school.
When he came home three years ago, Luo Luo was in the third grade of junior high school. She had changed her age. They hadn't seen each other for several years. When they met, they saw a pretty girl looking at him playfully. Li Xuyang suspected that he was deceived.
.
Three years later, what has she become now? She is definitely more beautiful than the "goddess" Zhao Yuling in his heart.
When Li Xuyang asked his grandfather about Luoluo's current situation, his grandfather said "Hey" without saying anything and smoked "bah bah bah".
Did something happen to Luo Luo? Li Xuyang's heart tightened and he looked at his grandfather anxiously.
"Luoluo is sick." Grandpa said in a low voice. The Gao family's family background was not very good. Luoluo's father was paralyzed in bed due to an accidental injury many years ago. Gao's mother supported the Gao family by herself. Grandpa has always been very kind to the Gao family.
pity.
Hearing that Luo Luo was sick, Li Xuyang's eyes widened and he looked at his grandfather in disbelief. "What's the disease?"
"Didn't you see her when you came back in the afternoon?" Grandma said.
Have you ever seen Luo Luo? No! Li Xuyang looked at grandma with confusion on his face.
"When you first came back, wasn't it Luo Luo who walked by your car?" Grandma thought Li Xuyang had recognized Luo Luo.
"Oh!" Li Xuyang suddenly realized, no wonder he looked familiar. He was much taller than before, but also a lot thinner.
"The disease Luo Luo suffers from is very strange. I have seen many doctors but can't find the cause. With their family's conditions, they don't have the money to go to a big hospital for examination." Grandpa said sympathetically, "Hey...!"
"Is this disease serious?" Li Xuyang was very concerned about his childhood playmate.
"We can't explain clearly. The child's temper is not very good now. It's so late and you are tired. Take a rest. Yangyang, you can go see Luoluo tomorrow!" Grandma got up and turned on the light in her grandson's room.
.
Li Xuyang still got up early in the morning. His grandparents had gotten up early. Getting up early was a good tradition of the Li family. Looking at his grandparents' stooped bodies, his nose felt sour and he wanted to go forward and hug his grandparents.
The two elders looked at their sweet grandson lovingly, and grandma tremblingly handed over a cup of hot yogurt. Li Xuyang took a sip and felt that what he was drinking was not milk, but deep family affection and deep love.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of white frost, and the air was filled with light smoke. Li Xuyang stamped his feet and rubbed his palms for a while before starting to practice Wu Qin Xi.
To practice this kind of gymnastics, you need to concentrate and raise your energy, feel the aura of heaven and earth, and let the aura of heaven and earth wash away the turbid air in your body. You need to concentrate and not be distracted.
For some unknown reason, Li Xuyang had a lingering feeling of uneasiness weighing heavily on his heart. He could not concentrate on practicing. After completing a set of movements, he had a slight white eye on his head. He felt that the effect of the practice was not as good as before.
I can never calm down.
Li Xuyang went to Luo Luo's house after breakfast. His sleep was not very good last night. Luo Luo's innocent and lively figure always hung in front of him, and a pair of watery eyes always looked at him mischievously.
How is her illness? He has been worried about Luo Luo's illness, which makes him uneasy. In the past, Li Xuyang and Luo Luo went out to a primary school far away in the morning sun, playing and laughing in the afternoon light of the setting sun.
Back home, Luo Luo's mother asked Li Xuyang to take good care of Luo Luo. He was in a higher grade, but in fact the age difference between them was not much.
Li Xuyang took good care of Luo Luo, and they were like brothers and sisters. Luo Luo's family was poor, but Luo Luo was a strong girl and never accepted his gifts for no reason.
Memories were stringed together in Li Xuyang's mind bit by bit, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the door of Luo Luo's house. It was still the same, the house with brick and wood structure was about a year old, and the yard was covered with fallen leaves.
, when the wind blows, the fallen leaves dance with the wind, and a few hens are looking for food in the yard.
The courtyard was deserted, the halls were open, and there was not a soul in sight. He walked to the door of the hall and shouted into the room: "Aunt Yueqin, Aunty Yueqin."
Luoluo's mother, Wang Yueqin, is a typical kind-hearted and hard-working rural woman. After her husband Gao Tingshu was injured in an accident, she took care of her paralyzed husband and young daughter alone. Although her life was hard, she had no complaints. The kind-hearted neighbors wanted to
Wang Yueqin refused to help them. Her temper was a bit stubborn, and the neighbors had no choice but to secretly pray to Bodhisattva to bless this kind family.
The Bodhisattva did not bless them, but their life became more and more difficult. The health of the Gaoting tree was getting worse day by day, and Luoluo suffered from an inexplicable strange disease.
Wang Yueqin had just finished her chores at home and was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. She heard shouts outside, wiped her hands on her apron, turned around and went to the main room, and saw Li Xuyang standing at the door of the main room looking into the room.
Wang Yueqin was helpless and wiped her hands on her apron. Her appearance made Li Xuyang dare not recognize her. There was a trace of doubt in her turbid eyes. Her hair was messy, with a few strands of hair randomly scattered on her forehead and temples. Her face was dark, and her skin was like jujube bark.
The cracks on the hands are heart-wrenching to look at.
"Are you Yangyang? Come in, come in." Wang Yueqin's voice was trembling, and her shoulders were shaking.
"Aunt Yueqin!" Li Xuyang stepped over the threshold, placed the fruits and nutritional supplements on the old-fashioned Eight Immortals table in the middle of the hall, and held Wang Yueqin's hand tightly. Tears rolled down his face involuntarily. He felt that Wang Yueqin's hand was as rough as sandpaper.
My heart aches.
"Luoluo, Luoluo. Yangyang is here." Wang Yueqin withdrew her hand and kept wiping the corners of her eyes.
"Hey, here we come." A lazy girl's voice came from inside the house.
A thin figure slowly came to the main room. Li Xuyang looked at the visitor expectantly. Is this Luo Luo? His heart was filled with confusion, and doubts solidified on his face.
The light in Luoluo's eyes flashed, "When did you come back?" There was a perfunctory tone in her voice.
"Yesterday." Li Xuyang was a little flustered and couldn't find the right words for a while.
"You sit down, I'll make you tea." Luoluo didn't have the slightest surprise or surprise, and his voice was very flat.
"Hey, hey, hey." Li Xuyang sat down on the old-fashioned wooden chair and looked at Luoluo's back as if in a dream. This was a familiar yet unfamiliar back. It was still the same outline as three years ago, but it was taller and taller.
I have lost weight. But I have lost the agility and vitality of three years ago and feel dull and dull.
"I'll cook for you, Luoluo, and you stay with Yangyang." Wang Yueqin's mood was very complicated, with happiness mixed with sadness. Comparing the two children, she felt sad.
Luo Luo made tea and placed it on the Eight Immortals table in front of Li Xuyang, and sat opposite him. Li Xuyang looked at Luo Luo's sallow face and wandering eyes, and couldn't help feeling sad. He restrained his tears from filling his eyes and lowered his head to drink.
Had a sip of tea.
Occasionally, a bright light flashed in Luoluo's eyes, and it disappeared briefly. Her expression was complicated, and she tried hard to control her excitement.
"Luoluo, I heard that you are sick?" Li Xuyang's eyes showed the care and concern of a big brother.
"Hey." Luo Luo sighed softly, and the resentful voice made Li Xuyang's heart twist.
"Is it serious?" Li Xuyang asked cautiously.
"I don't know, I can't say for sure." Luoluo's tone revealed a helplessness.
"Didn't you go to the hospital for a checkup?"
"I've been there and found nothing." Luoluo's mood suddenly became a little irritable.
Li Xuyang saw a trace of restlessness in her eyes, so he couldn't continue to ask further, so he changed the topic: "You should graduate from high school this year, right?"
"I haven't studied for two years." Luoluo stood up, with a bit of anger in his tone, and turned around and returned to his room.
Li Xuyang was stunned there, not knowing how he had angered Luo Luo.
"Hey, this kid has a bad temper now and gets angry for no reason." Wang Yueqin came out of the kitchen and explained to Li Xuyang sheepishly.
Li Xuyang guessed that Luoluo's temper might be related to her illness, and planned to go back and discuss with Li Kaihe whether he could lend some money to Luoluo's family so that Luoluo could go to a good hospital for a thorough examination.
Wang Yueqin hurriedly went to the kitchen. Li Xuyang could not understand Luo Luo's condition. After sitting alone for a while, he suddenly heard the sound of a wheelchair turning behind him. He knew it was Luo Luo's father Gao Tingshu, so he quickly stood up and went to help Gao Tingshu push the wheelchair.
.
"Sit down, sit down, I can do it by myself." Gao Tingshu was so thin that he was just skin and bones. He heard the noise outside and knew that Li Xuyang was coming, so he struggled to get up. When he saw the lively Li Xuyang, his face changed.
Full of relief and joy.
Li Xuyang pushed his wheelchair to the Eight Immortals table and took out an apple from his bag. There happened to be a rusty knife on the table. He wiped the rust on the knife on his sleeve and peeled the apple for the Gaoting tree.
"Don't blame Luo Luo. This child has a very bad temper after getting sick." Gao Tingshu's face was pale, his cheekbones were high, his eyes were sunken, but he looked very happy and looked at Li Xuyang happily.
Li Xuyang looked up at the Gaoting tree and hesitated to speak.
"The child Luoluo's illness is very strange. I heard from Grandpa Changfa that it seems to be something accumulated on the liver. Although it is not an incurable disease, I have seen many doctors, but they can't do anything. Now I am taking the herbal medicine prescribed by Grandpa Changfa.
My condition is much better than before."
Li Xuyang said "Oh", "I'd better ask Grandpa Long Hair, he should know more about Luo Luo's condition." He thought to himself.
As soon as Li Xuyang got home, he wanted to visit Grandpa Changfa, but his relatives and friends came to visit Li Kaihe's family whom he hadn't seen for many years. It was a bit late, and he was worried about Luo Luo's condition. He planned to visit Grandpa Changfa after visiting Luo Luo.
, I heard from grandma that grandpa with long hair is in good health, no different from before.
Li Xuyang and Gao Tingshu chatted about the current situation of the Gao family. Gao Tingshu said "Hey" with a depressed expression and looked worried. Everyone pointed out that relying on Wang Yueqin, how could the family live a better life?
At this time, Wang Yueqin had prepared breakfast. The meal was very sumptuous. This was probably the luxury item that the Gao family had the most to offer. Li Xuyang had just finished breakfast, but could not ignore Aunt Yueqin's kindness, so he had to sit down and join us.
Have a meal.
Luo Luo sat next to Li Xuyang, occasionally looking at him, and there was a sadness in his eyes that made him feel sad.
Luo Luo ate in silence, and Li Xuyang was in a very upset mood. He talked to Gao Tingshu and his wife every now and then, and he didn't even understand what he said. The originally delicious food was also unpalatable.
After the meal, Li Xuyang stood up to say goodbye. Luo Luo stood at the door to see him off. Luo Luo's eyes were watching him from behind. Li Xuyang felt a little warm in his heart. "I will definitely cure Luo Luo's disease and make her lively again."
Cheerful years." He secretly made up his mind.
