Chapter 50 Identity Exposure
"What are you thinking, girl, you are smiling so happily."

Old man Xu entered the door with a large bundle of wheat straw on his back, and he saw his tall daughter laughing foolishly there, and he was also happy in his heart. His body, which was so tired and sweaty and couldn't straighten up, regained energy in an instant.

Seeing the person coming back, Xu Baozhu hurriedly put down the things in his hands to meet him, and then took another look outside, "Brother Yun, didn't he go out with you? Why didn't I see anyone?"

"There seemed to be something on the road, so I called him over."

"Oh."

Xu Baozhu took off the wheat straw from his body, and said: "You're exhausted, you should rest first, I'll get you a glass of water, the meal is ready, we'll eat when Brother Yun comes back."

"Ah."

The old man Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead, went to the table under the locust tree and sat down to enjoy the coolness. He glanced at the reed flowers on the ground and the materials that had been cut, and said, "You have already started making cold clothes."

"Yes." Xu Baozhu replied with her neck raised, "I see that your winter clothes are all torn, and brother Yun also needs them. He is weak, so he made them, but our family's reeds are not enough. The money just now The aunt asked Ah Jin to send a bag over."

"Their family has a heart."

The old man Xu wiped his hands, carefully picked up the unfinished clothes, and said while taking them: "You only care about ours, not your own."

"I have it." Xu Baozhu poured the hot water from the kettle onto the teacup, and walked out holding it in both hands.

"You usually add new clothes to me every year. Those winter clothes are still in good condition. They are not broken at all. You can continue to wear them and don't need to make them again."

"I still need to add more. My daughter's family should buy more new clothes. It will look good if they are festive and lively."

The old man Xu's eyes were full of kindness, and he stroked the unformed cold clothes with his hands carefully, feeling a warm feeling in his heart, but soon, his smile froze on his face.

He was stunned for a long while, a little uncertain, thinking that he had misread it, so he took it closer and looked at it carefully for a long time.

No, not at all!
Very rough stitches.

The old man Xu looked at the person who was walking towards him with a smile on his face, and then looked at the stitches. It was obviously only the mid-autumn season, but his heart was so cold.

"What's the matter, Father, is my dress not well made?" Xu Baozhu hurriedly asked as she saw people staring at the clothes in a daze.

"No...no." Old man Xu replied dumbly, put down his clothes, and Xu Baozhu passed the water over, "Come on, take a sip of hot water first."

"No, no need."

Old man Xu took the water away, "I'm a little tired, I want to go in and rest for a while."

After all, without waiting for Xu Baozhu's reaction, he entered the house.

"It was fine just now, why did it suddenly change so much?" Xu Baozhu was puzzled.

inside the house.

The old man Xu who entered the door closed the door and window, and immediately ran to the corner of the bed, pulled out a broken wooden box, opened it hastily, dug out his winter coat that was already damaged, and compared it carefully at every stitch. Observed, afraid to miss a little detail.

……

"Where's daddy?"

When Zhu Yun entered the door, he saw Xu Baozhu alone in the yard and asked a casual question.

"He's too tired, so he went to rest first." Xu Baozhu replied, and said again: "Since you're back, let's have dinner, you go wash your hands, and then ask daddy to come out, and I'll prepare something."

"it is good."

After Xu Baozhu prepared the meal, he waited for a long time, but no one came out. Zhu Yun was stopped outside the door. The door of the old man Xu's room had never been opened since he entered. No matter how people shouted, he didn't care In the end, I was anxious, and there was only one sentence: "I'm not hungry, you eat!"

"It's really weird."

Xu Baozhu walked over and shouted into the room: "Father, let's eat first, there is still in the kitchen, if you are hungry, come out, or tell me what you want to eat, and I will make it for you. "

silent.

It was as quiet as if no one lived there.

The two looked at each other, and finally Xu Baozhu said, "Let's go, eat first, maybe Dad will come out after he rests."

"OK."

Xu Baozhu thought very well, but the reality was not as she wished. Not only did the old man not rest well, he walked out of the house, but fell ill. , holding his ragged winter coat in his arms, he was already in a daze, as if he was only half breathed.

"Father!"

Xu Baozhu ran to the bed quickly, calling for someone frantically. The old man Xu opened his eyes slightly, revealing a slit. Seeing that it was her, he closed his eyes tightly again.

Does he look... or is it all because of himself?

Xu Baozhu lowered her eyes, and her eyes fell on the cold clothes in his arms, thinking of all the changes when she came back, one possibility hovered in her mind.

"Father." She sat up, held his hand, and took the opportunity to feel his pulse. There was no danger to her life, but it was just a state of urgency, which confirmed her guess in her heart.

"Master, Dad is not feeling well. Go to the pharmacy and get three grams each of light bamboo leaves and rush grass. Make tea with water and bring it to me. I'll watch and talk with Dad."

"it is good."

Zhu Yun didn't understand medicine, but he could read and write. What Xu Baozhu said was not difficult for him, so he walked out in response.

Seeing people leave, Xu Baozhu sat closer to old man Xu, never taking his eyes off the winter coat.

"Father, did you guess what it was?"

Old man Xu took a deep breath, closed his eyes tightly and did not speak.

Silent is better than sound.

This is already his answer.

Xu Baozhu apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't know...maybe...maybe it's not appropriate, but I don't know how I got here. These days, you treat me very well. I'm not afraid of your jokes. In fact, I used to , I haven’t seen what my father looks like. I grew up with my grandma in the country, and I didn’t see my mother. Later, my grandma disappeared. I understand how you feel now... I don’t know how to tell you, But I want you to know that I am really grateful to you, I really treat you like a father..."

She didn't know how to explain all this to Old Man Xu.

Their father and daughter depended on each other for life. Now that his wife is gone, even her only daughter has had her core replaced. For a widowed old man, this is indeed a bit cruel. Xu Baozhu can understand his reaction.

The corners of Xu's mouth kept trembling, his eyes narrowed, he stared at her for a long time, and then withdrew his hand from her palm.

"You go out first."

"I'm sorry, I can't answer you." Xu Baozhu refused, "You are a doctor, you should understand your current situation, if you continue to delay, the situation will not be very good."

"If you want, I can help you sit up, give you a massage, and treat you, okay?"

A look of emotion flashed in the old man Xu's eyes, but when he was about to respond, he suddenly thought of his daughter, clutched the winter clothes tightly in his hands, and refused, "I'm a doctor, and I know what's going on with me. I can't die, you get out."
