I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 237 Is it cold?

The author of "Star Dream" dog has updated two chapters today.

Ye Linhan glanced at it, and could only say that there was no accident, as expected of the author of the dog.

After clicking on the newly updated chapter, Ye Linhan moved on the stool and sat in a more comfortable position.

Look at the updated chapter of "Star Dream".

previously,

The first chapter of Star Dream,

The plot progresses to the scene where the old man Yan Xingguo and Honghong look at the stars under the night,
After that, the plot continued to develop.

With Honghong, the life of the old man Yan Xingguo became much more lively and less cold.

Sleeping at night is much more at ease, Hong Hong always wants to sing to him by the bedside, he is always stubborn,

However, there seems to be only one song that Honghong will sing, and she likes it very much.

Every time, the old man fell asleep listening to the singing, and sometimes had dreams at night,
Dreaming about when he was young, dreaming about old friends.

However, he still feels more and more tired. Sometimes when he walks on the road, he loses his strength unconsciously, and then stands on the side of the road, unable to move his legs anymore, and can only stand tremblingly on the spot,
But compared to before, with Hong Hong's support, Hong Hong would help him to sit down and rest on the steps by the side of the road when she saw that he couldn't walk anymore.
The old and the young sometimes talked on the steps.

"Red red..."

"Huh? Grandpa, what's the matter?"

"...it's okay..."

Yan Xingguo didn't know if it was right to keep Honghong by his side. He is already so old, can he really take care of Honghong?

More often than not, Hong Hong is taking care of her.

But if Hong Hong was sent away, he would be a little bit reluctant,
I don't want to think about it.

"Honghong... Why don't I go buy you gloves later. It will be late autumn in a while, and the weather will be cold. Buy a pair of cotton gloves to keep your hands from freezing."

Hong Hong was stubbornly unwilling to change into other clothes, as if the red dress with the star pattern on her body had a special meaning.

Yan Xingguo could only buy some extras for the girl.

"Okay! Thank you, Grandpa."

Hong Hong grinned and nodded emphatically.

Yan Xingguo smiled.

"...Okay, enough rest, let's go back."

"Yeah, grandpa, I'll help you up."

"Grandpa, let me cook tonight."

"I'm cooking twice-cooked pork at night, can you fry it?"

"Grandpa, teach me and I will be able to..."

The old and the young supported each other and walked forward.

book.

In the end, Hong Hong also picked out a pair of red knitted woolen gloves, which she liked very much.

But before it was time to wear woolen gloves, Yan Xingguo helped Honghong put away the gloves temporarily.

The plot continues to develop like this,
In the book, Yan Xingguo and Honghong spend their days like this.

Even if the TV is not turned on in the room, there are still conversations.

The time soon came to the time when the organization agreed to give his old comrades a full physical examination.

when the time comes,
Yan Xingguo received the call first, saying that the person who came to pick him up had already arrived at the gate of the community.

He changed into clean clothes and went downstairs.

Only this time, he didn't bring Hong Hong.

Although Hong Hong always wanted to stay by his side, even this time Hong Hong looked at him wrongedly,
He still asked Hong Hong to stay at home and wait for him to come back.

Maybe it was because he was subconsciously afraid of being familiar with him. Comrades who usually pay attention to his physical condition saw Hong Hong.

They should all know that he does not have a nephew or granddaughter like Hong Hong.

"...Just in the house, let's watch cartoons."

"Grandpa is going for a physical examination and will be back soon."

"Um……"

Before leaving, Yan Xingguo turned on the TV for Honghong.

But Honghong was not interested in the animation on the TV at all, she just kept looking at him,
There was grievance on the small face, as if he was about to be abandoned again,

Seeing that Yan Xingguo's heart softened for a while, he finally made up his mind, changed his shoes, left the room, and closed the door behind him.

Standing in the corridor with the door closed, I don't know what to think,
Yan Xingguo straightened his clothes again and went downstairs.

During this time,

He felt more and more tired, often sleepy and lacked energy, even if he slept enough at night, he still remained the same,
He was a little afraid of this physical examination, especially after having Hong Hong.

This may also be an important reason why he is unwilling to let Hong Hong accompany him to the medical examination.

"...Uncle Yan, let's go to the Municipal People's Hospital today. I'll accompany you for a physical examination."

There was a car parked at the door, and besides the driver, there was a middle-aged man waiting in the car.
Probably knowing that the older you are, the more you avoid physical examinations, the middle-aged man smiled and then explained,

"Routine physical examination every few months."

"...It's okay, just send it there for me, or those projects? You don't have to waste time in the hospital with me."

"That can't be considered a waste of time. How can you let Uncle Yan go back and forth in the hospital alone. Besides, this is also my job. Uncle Yan, you can't let me miss work, right? Uncle Yan, please cooperate with my work."

Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Yan Xingguo just shook his head and didn't speak again.

quickly,

Yan Xingguo and the middle-aged man arrived at the hospital.

According to the appointment with the hospital, I started the physical examination project.

The middle-aged man accompanied Yan Xingguo to carry out various examinations in various departments of the hospital.

"...Uncle Yan? Why don't we sit down and have a rest. I'm a little tired from running back and forth here."

Noticing that Yan Xingguo seemed to be unable to move, the middle-aged man quickly reached out to support him,
But he just said that, and didn't mention the matter of putting Yan Xingguo in a wheelchair.

Probably knowing that these old people are more stubborn.

"In fact, we should make an appointment with the hospital to wait for you, Uncle Yan, so that we don't run back and forth here."

The middle-aged man smiled again.

Hearing this, Yan Xingguo couldn't help turning his head to look at the middle-aged man.
"...I'm not the only one in the hospital who needs to see a doctor for a physical examination. If I call all the doctors, will others still see it?"

"Uncle Yan, you're right, it's because I'm not enlightened enough."

Middle-aged men actually just want the old man to answer,

"Uncle Yan, let's go and sit down."

Yan Xingguo glanced at the middle-aged man and shook his head, and followed him to the aisle to rest temporarily.

It took about half an afternoon to go back and forth between various projects, plus taking breaks from time to time,
Finished all the physical examination items,
Yan Xingguo's physical examination report came out soon.

Sitting in the car, the middle-aged man and Yan Xingguo both looked at the medical examination report issued by the hospital.

According to the report, Yan Xingguo has no major illnesses, but keeps minor illnesses.

But the biggest problem is... aging, his body and organs are too old,

This is also the reason why he has been getting more and more tired recently, maybe one day after sleeping...

"...Uncle Yan, the organization said before that it would arrange a nurse for you, and this is the treatment you should enjoy."

"You are so old and live alone...Although I call you from time to time, I'm afraid that if you accidentally fall in the house one day or something..."

Looking at the medical report, the middle-aged man brought up the old story again, looking at Yan Xingguo and said cautiously and hesitantly.

Yan Xingguo, who was also holding the physical examination report, felt an inexplicable anger in his chest when he heard this.
So he said angrily,
"...I'm a useless person, and I can't play any role anymore! What are you doing wasting that resource! Just die!"

"Uncle Yan, how can you say that? According to you, then... Uncle Yan, Uncle Yan..."

The middle-aged man persuaded,

The old man opened the car door and walked out.

The middle-aged man also hurriedly opened the car door and chased after him.

The old man Yan Xingguo walked forward a few steps along the road angrily.
Panting again, he stopped in his tracks, and finally stood there, bowing his head in silence for a while,
Another sigh.

"Uncle Yan... I said something wrong, don't be angry, don't get mad..."

The middle-aged man had already run to catch up, and said nervously,

"...Sorry, I shouldn't lose my temper with you."

Yan Xingguo turned his head and apologized to the middle-aged man,

"It's okay, Uncle Yan, it's okay Uncle Yan, are you okay?"

"It's okay..."

"Then let's... go back to the car first? What about the nurse?"

"Forget about the nurses. If there are other old comrades who need it, just let them arrange it. You can just send me back to where I live."

……

"……grandfather!"

After returning to the house, he politely refused the middle-aged man to send him back to the house,
Yan Xingguo touched the handrail of the stairs and slowly went upstairs.

When I opened the door, I saw Hong Hong standing behind the door,
There is a small stool behind him, and there are cartoons on the TV, but he has never watched them.

It seems that after Yan Xingguo left the house, Honghong moved a stool and sat behind the door with her chin propped up, looking at the living room door and waiting for him to come back.
Until he heard the rustling sound of the door opening, he stood up happily from the stool.

"Hey, grandpa is here."

Yan Xingguo looked at the happy look on Honghong's face, and a smile appeared on his face,
Hong Hong ran over quickly and helped Yan Xingguo into the house.

Although Yan Xingguo had been refusing the support of middle-aged men before, he did not refuse Honghong.

"Grandpa... let's eat fried twice-cooked pork tonight. I learned everything you taught me yesterday, Grandpa."

"well……"

"Grandpa, sit here and I'll cook."

It seems that Hong Hong is very happy when she is next to Yan Xingguo.
Some cheerfully helped Yan Xingguo to sit on the sofa and ran towards the kitchen.

"Be careful."

Yan Xingguo quickly stood up from the sofa again and greeted him.

"Grandpa, it's okay! I can do it!"

Hong Hong smiled and turned her head to answer.

Yan Xingguo was sitting on the sofa, looking at Honghong all the time, talking to Honghong from time to time,
It's just that the physical examination has been busy for a long time. After sitting down now, Yan Xingguo felt tired again.

Before she knew it, after answering Hong Hong's words, she fell into a drowsy sleep.

Hong Hong, who was jumping happily in the kitchen, heard that Yan Xingguo hadn't replied to her for a long time,
Immediately, he became a little nervous, and ran out of the kitchen, looking at the old man who was asleep on the sofa,

Hong Hong breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that the old man was just asleep.
Then he took a blanket from the side and carefully covered the old man,

Then he ran back to the kitchen, set up a small stool, and continued cooking on the stove.

in the book,

At this time,
Also described the dream of Xia Yan Xingguo,
Yan Xingguo, who fell into a drowsy sleep, dreamed again,

In the dream, he didn't know where he came from, but he was trapped on a Gobi Desert,
Surrounded by yellow sand all over the sky, the dim yellow sand swept across, covering the surrounding land, and nothing else could be seen.
In the dream, Yan Xingguo tried to move forward, but he couldn't get out of the place surrounded by the yellow sand all over the sky.
And apart from the haze, he couldn't see anything else in the dream, and he couldn't get out anyway.

Feelings of despair and loneliness pervade.

Until he was woken up, the dream was always that dull and dim scene.

"Grandpa? Grandpa..."

In Honghong's small cry,
Yan Xingguo woke up from the dream and was in a trance for a while before he came back to his senses.
He raised his head, facing in front of him, and there was a smile on his red face, who was calling cautiously,

"what happened?"

"Grandpa, dinner is ready, let's have dinner first, and go to bed after dinner."

Yan Xingguo turned his head to look out the window and found that it was already dark.

After a pause, Yan Xingguo smiled at Honghong again, nodded,

"it is good."

……

In the book, the plot continues to develop,
Yan Xingguo and Honghong continue to live in this way, and during this time with Honghong,
It was the busiest time in Yan Xingguo's house, and it was also the most relaxed and happy time for Yan Xingguo.
From the very beginning, he had a strong sense of intimacy with Honghong, as if he was familiar with an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, as if he had known her before.

Only in such busy days,
Yan Xingguo sleeps longer and longer every day, and sometimes he starts to doze off while sitting.

He was still talking to Hong Hong in the last sentence, but fell asleep again in the next sentence.

Every time I opened my eyes, I could see Hong Hong looking at him nervously.

until one day,
Yan Xingguo dreamed of the scene of the yellow sand Gobi again,

Only this time, he walked for a longer and longer time in the yellow sand surrounded by the sky,
But this time, before he woke up, some familiar figures walked out of the surrounding yellow sand,
Some are young, some are old, they are all old friends he is familiar with,
They all had smiles on their faces, as if happy to see him again.

Just watching them laugh, Yan Xingguo felt an inexplicable and intense sadness in his heart.

this time,

In this grief, Yan Xingguo struggled to wake up,

I just feel dizzy and extremely tired, as if a night's sleep didn't help,
It just made him more tired.

And Hong Hong, standing beside his bed at this moment,

Hong Hong sucked her nose, her face was aggrieved, tears were already rolling down from her eyes.

"grandfather!"

Hong Hong yelled at him with a crying voice,
"Don't cry...don't cry..."

Yan Xingguo saw Honghong's appearance, under the current weakness and exhaustion,
Instead, he seemed to understand something, he raised his hand with some difficulty, touched the red hair,
Then gently wiped away the tears on the red face,

He didn't ask where Honghong came from, he just asked Honghong,

"Is it cold in there?"

"not cold!"

Hong Hong shook her head vigorously, tears still in her eyes.

"Don't cry, don't cry... Grandpa is fine, grandpa is fine."

Yan Xingguo felt sorry for Honghong, and sat up while supporting the bed with difficulty.

With red eyes, he kept sucking his nose, as if wronged and sad,
Supporting Yan Xingguo, he got up from the bed again,
"...Grandpa can't even stand up now."

Yan Xingguo said with a smile, his voice was a little tired.

"It's almost noon? What do you want to eat at noon? Grandpa will make it for you."

"...I want to eat buns."

When Hong Hong first came to Yan Xingguo's side, the first thing she ate was the steamed buns Yan Xingguo bought for her.

"Okay, grandpa will do it for you, grandpa will do it for you..."

Yan Xingguo said with a smile, and went into the kitchen with Hong Hong's support.

But he couldn't even stand alone, so Honghong brought him another stool,
It's just that Yan Xingguo sat down and poured the flour and water to be kneaded into the basin, but he didn't have the strength to knead the dough.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Yan Xingguo was panting heavily, his lungs were like an old machine that was going to collapse at any moment.

Even so, Yan Xingguo still wanted to have a face-to-face meeting.
"...Grandpa, let me come."

"Okay. Come Honghong, then grandpa is waiting to eat."

Hong Hong said aloud, Yan Xingguo panted heavily, stared at Hong Hong for a while,
Putting down the hand that met the noodles, he responded with a smile.

Hong Hong lowered the bowl for kneading noodles, and worked hard to knead the dough.

Yan Xingguo sat by the kitchen and told Honghong what to do.
Just talking and talking, exhaustion and drowsiness will come up, let Yan Xingguo close his eyes,

Every time at this time, Honghong would call out to Yan Xingguo, and Yan Xingguo would wake up again and continue talking to Honghong.
