Chapter 417

"Hongyi? I didn't expect it to be really you. I heard the voice familiar when I was in the room, oops, why are you suddenly free?" Luo Hongyi's voice didn't alarm his family, but instead attracted Aunt Li from next door. .

"Auntie, I received a telegram at the company saying that my mother is critically ill." Luo Hongyi's expression on his face was anxious, "There is no one in our house right now, is my mother still in the hospital? Do you know which hospital she is in?" ?"

"What? Your family sent you a telegram saying that your mother is critically ill?" Aunt Li had a surprised look on her face.

"Yes, you see."

Luo Hongyi immediately took out his carry-on, and handed it to her the crumpled telegram that he had deliberately kneaded, and then asked with doubts and hesitation, "Auntie? Is there something wrong? --" The look in his eyes suddenly dimmed, and all thoughts on his face were completely disheartened, "Is it because I came back late?"

"No, no, don't think about it. Your mother is fine. She followed your father to your future sister-in-law's house to propose marriage." Aunt Li was shocked by Luo Hongyi's appearance, and quickly waved her hands to explain.She muttered to herself, "Really, why is there such a person who curses his son that he is going to die for no reason?"

"She, is she alright? Great?" Luo Hongyi immediately relaxed, admiring his performance in his heart.

"Hong Yi... It's not that your mother is fine. It's that she has never been sick at all, but it's because of your fourth brother's incident that she is almost dying of anxiety." Aunt Li looked at it. The telegram in my hand, it was obvious that it was wrinkled and crumpled countless times because of worry, and I couldn't bear it, so I told the truth.

In other words, even though her family lived next door to Luo Hongyi's, it is true that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.It's a pity that the relationship between the two families is really not good.She and Luo Hongyi's mother often quarreled over trivial matters. Basically, except for Luo Hongyi who would politely greet her and other members of her family when they saw her, other members of the Luo family saw her from old to young. She and her family have always walked over without paying attention.

This is why she heard Luo Hongyi shouting outside the door at this moment, and knew that no one in the Luo family would come out to answer.If it were Luo Hongyi's second sister who returned to her mother's house instead, tsk tsk, she wouldn't respond even if she shouted loudly.

"My fourth brother? What could happen to him?" Luo Hongyi looked blank.

"Hong Yi, you must be tired after driving all the way. Your parents can't come back so soon after this trip, and your elder brother, sister-in-law and nephew are not here, it seems that you are going back to your mother's house. Anyway, can you get in?" Going to the house, I think you might as well go to aunt's house to have a drink and rest first, and then aunt will tell you slowly, so we don't have to stick at the door all the time."

For Luo Hongyi, who is said to be a big man in the company, and is said to be in charge of dozens of people, Aunt Li, the most promising person in their village, is still willing to curry favor.One is that I don't want to offend; the other is that I want to borrow strength when it is critical; the third is that I naturally want to be angry with Luo Hongyi and his mother Tang Ermei.So at this time Aunt Li greeted Luo Hongyi with special enthusiasm.

"Okay, aunt, then I'm not going to be polite. After driving this way, I was so anxious that I couldn't even bother to drink water, and I was really thirsty."

Luo Hongyi readily agreed.On the other hand, in his previous life, no matter how thirsty or tired he was, he would definitely not nod this way.Aunt Li, the neighbor who has a bad relationship with his mother, is amazing at maintaining superficial politeness. How could he fail to see the little scheme behind the other party's kindness towards him?
"I didn't even bother to drink the water? Isn't that..." Aunt Li was overjoyed and pulled Luo Hongyi into her home. She glanced at the old-fashioned clock in the main room, and saw the time on it pointing to ten past one. In her heart, she was really worthless for Luo Hongyi, she sighed, "You sit down first, and Auntie will boil some hot water for you."

"Auntie, don't be so troublesome. The water here is good. We use spring water picked from the mountains and it's sweet. You can just take a scoop from the water tank and drink it." Luo Hongyi hurriedly stopped, " I used to drink like that at home growing up."

"Nonsense, don't you think what kind of day it is now? Although it's not very cold, how can you drink in cold weather?" Aunt Li smiled and shook her head, "It's quick to boil water, and it doesn't take much trouble."

"Then I'm going to help Auntie light the fire?"

"Sitting and sitting, there's no reason to ask the guests to help you with the work." Aunt Li hurriedly held Luo Hongyi down.

"Then trouble auntie." Luo Hongyi said gratefully.

"It's not troublesome, it's just a matter of convenience." Aunt Li went to the kitchen while talking, and after a while, she brought out a large bowl of hot poached eggs and placed it in front of Luo Hongyi.Luo Hongyi swept his eyes over and saw that there were five or six poached eggs inside, ups and downs, and couldn't help but his eyes turned red, "Auntie, what are you doing?"

"Don't be polite to your aunt, it's nothing worthwhile if they are laid by the chickens raised at home. Now that you have called aunt, aunt can't be stingy anymore, can you? You must have been scared enough all the way, and you don't need to ask to know that you are sure." I didn’t bother to have lunch and rushed back. Waiting for your parents, elder brother and sister-in-law, it’s not certain whether they will come back after dark, so why are you still hungry for that long?”

Aunt Li was fighting for Luo Hongyi in her heart. After all, she was the son of the family. Why didn't she even give the child a key to the door of the house because she was working outside?There are many things that the Luo family has done, so I don’t need to talk about them.Anyway, she would be reluctant to treat such a promising child like that.

Wrong, even if the child is not good enough, she will definitely not treat him badly.If the child coming out of his stomach doesn't hurt himself, who can he expect to feel distressed?

She shook her head secretly but didn't say anything more, as the saying goes.She didn't want to make Luo Hongyi dissatisfied with her talkativeness anymore.So she just said with pity: "Our village is far away from the county, and the roads are not easy to walk and open to traffic. Even if you have been in the county, you will be hungry all the way back. Every time my Shunzi comes back If you can eat such a bowl of poached eggs in one sitting, you can't possibly be inferior to him, right?"

"Thank you, Auntie, then I'm not going to be polite." The person's heart was in front of him, and the food was cooked. Luo Hongyi couldn't say anything that didn't know good and bad, so he bowed his head and drank a sip of soup first, sweet. of.

He was a little dazed: Yes, even Aunt Li next door could think that the road in her village was difficult and there was no traffic, and her son would be hungry when he came back, but why in the previous life and the first few years in this life.In two lifetimes, which time in his mother's life will he remember whether he is thirsty or not when he arrives home from a long distance?Would he ask, or would he just go into the kitchen and bring himself such a big bowl of poached eggs without even asking?Even if you don't need so much, you don't need to add sugar, just a clear soup with two eggs and little water?

When he thought of every time he got home, if he didn't meet the meal time, no matter whether he was hungry or not, as long as he didn't take the initiative to ask for a meal, he would have nothing to eat.He couldn't help but recall the treatment he received every time he went to Zhang's house in the past few years. Every time, the first time he saw him, whether it was Nuan Nuan's grandma, her aunt or his mother-in-law, it seemed that he habitually came first. Are you always hungry?What to eat?
He lowered his head, and many things that he hadn't thought about in the past came to his mind very clearly, making him have to think deeply.
