I'm Mrs.

Chapter 111
……

It wasn't until the next afternoon that my grandma came back with my second uncle and the others. I ran from the house to the entrance of the yard to greet me, and kept asking, "Grandma, are you okay?"

Grandma's complexion looked much better, she shook her head and chuckled as she watched me. "It's okay, grandma is okay."

I just wanted to let it go, but when I saw Mingyue and the second uncle's frozen expressions together, I became nervous again. Sure enough, the second uncle arranged for dinner at night, "Mom, you don't have to worry about anything, Since the hospital suggested that we go to a big hospital, let’s go, and we can rest assured if you find out that everything is fine.”

Grandma shook her head, "I don't want to go, I don't know the place I'm born in, I don't want to bother, just raise it like this, my stomach is not a day or two."

The second uncle was a little anxious, "Listen to me, I will get angry if you don't go!"

Just as grandma was about to curl her lips, she heard grandpa yelling from that room, "Fengnian, my leg hurts again, go and get me some dried herbs for fumigation!"

I think grandpa is deliberately looking for an introduction to send grandma away, because grandpa didn't say that his legs hurt all day at home, and grandma picked the herbal medicine that was smoked and pushed slowly in the warehouse, and then tied it up after picking dry ones. I came here to smoke for my grandpa, and the result was exactly as I thought. As soon as my grandma left, my grandpa called my second aunt and second uncle over, and straight to the point, I asked how the test results were.

The second uncle replied with a bitter face, "It's not very good. The hospital said it was not a serious illness, but it can't be diagnosed now, so it said to go to a big city, but if it is found out, it must be a serious illness. Let me prepare more money."

Grandpa turned pale after hearing this, "So it's not a bad disease?"

The second uncle was very depressed, "Anyway, I have to be mentally prepared. I will raise money in the past two days. The doctor said that the [-] yuan is enough to block it..."

That Mingyue opened her mouth listlessly at the side, "But at home... it's only more than 3 points..."

"I have it."

Grandpa hurriedly said, "Your mother and I have a discount of [-] yuan. It needs to be cured. You can't let your mother..."

"Don't worry Dad, I will try my best to treat my mother."

The second uncle looked at Grandpa with tears in his eyes, "None of us can bear her, so of course we can't waste time at home. I'll think of a way, but if it doesn't work, I'll go to Brother Mingyue and raise some money in the county..."

"Lifting money" is our local dialect, which means similar to borrowing usury. I have heard that when I was very young, someone who had a difficult hurdle needed money and asked someone to "lift" it, but I heard that the interest rate was quite high. Sometimes the interest in two years is more than the loan, but there is no way, since it is called "lifting money", literally means that the money is raised and sent to the hands to spend.

"Look for Ruojun."

Grandpa was eager to come up with an idea, "If you have been in the city for so many years, you will definitely not let your mother ignore you."

The second uncle sighed and nodded, "I know, the doctor in the county recommended going to the provincial capital, but I discussed it with Mingyue, let's go to Bincheng, where Ruojun is. After all, we have no acquaintances in the provincial capital, and they are all big cities. If you are more convenient, but we must prepare more money by ourselves, if you have difficulties, what should we do?"

That Mingyue seemed to think of something, "Hey, Ruowen, ask my sister-in-law to borrow it. I heard that when Jiashu came back that year, the army gave some subsidies. I didn't ask the specific number, but there must be tens of thousands. Borrow it, and if the family tree gets married in the future and takes a wife, we will pay her back, and you can say yes."

The second uncle still sighed, "My sister-in-law...that's enough..."

I stood by the door and listened for a long time, and I understood what was going on. Without even thinking about it, I turned around and took out my box from the kang cabinet in my room, walked in a few steps, and handed him the gold bracelet , "Second uncle, sell this and treat grandma."

Grandpa and Na Mingyue were stunned looking at my actions, "Sibao, you..."

I looked at them seriously, "I know grandma is sick, so I sold it for money to treat grandma."

Grandpa's eyes were red, "Sibao, but this bracelet of yours was left to you by your grandma, this..."

The second uncle shook his head beside him, "Sibao, the second uncle knows that you are worried about your grandma, but this gold bracelet cannot be sold."

I shook my head, with a firm attitude, "I sold it to treat grandma."

That Mingyue couldn't bear it, turned her back and wiped her tears, "I just can't figure it out, why do good people have so many disasters..."

The second uncle took a deep breath, restrained his emotions and looked at me, "Sibao, listen to me, this bracelet of yours can be sold for thousands of yuan now, it's better not to sell it, keep it, it's a treasure em."

I lowered my eyes, but saw this box, "Second Uncle, before this box, that Lu...someone said it was called Xiaoye Zitan, you should sell the box, the box is more valuable."

The second uncle didn't know much about these things, so he looked at the box and still shook his head, "Sibao of obedience, I know you still have a heart, go to that room to play with Xiao Liu, you don't need to worry about these things."

Mingyue wiped away her tears and looked at me while sniffing her nose and nodded, "Yes, Baosi, don't worry, adults will take care of everything at home, you child, don't worry about it, this is just an ordinary wood Box, what a shame, no one recognizes it, go and play, ah."

I was a little anxious, and wanted to tell them that Lu Xingyue said that this box was worth more than gold bracelets, but looking at them, they couldn't tell why this box was worth anything, and how much it was worth, so she turned around and went out sullenly. As soon as I stepped into the door, I saw my grandma standing at the door.

His expression was slightly startled, "Grandma...you heard everything?"

Grandma made a 'shush' movement towards me, then took my hand and walked into the yard, forced the corners of her mouth to smile, "Sibao, grandma is getting old, people, sooner or later There will always be such a day, grandma is not afraid at all, you are obedient, put away this gold bracelet and everything, this thing is your grandma's treasure, if you sell it, then your grandma and I will come I won’t be able to explain to your grandma after this.”

I bit my lip and looked at grandma aggrieved, "But I'm afraid, I don't want you to go down..."

Grandma let out a long breath and bent over to look at my face, "Sibao, listen to grandma, grandma knows that you don't want to part with grandma, and grandma also doesn't want to part with you, but grandma knows what's going on now, and she can stand up." Grandma is pretty good every day..."

"Mom! Why are you telling Sibao this!!"

The second uncle immediately interrupted grandma when he came out, looking at grandma with accumulated worries and complications, "We are not in good health, so let's go for treatment, the equipment in the county is not good, so let's go to the big city for inspection, After confirming the cause of the disease, we have a good idea, don't we!"

"What score do you want!"

The grandma straightened her back and looked at the second uncle and raised her voice, "You think I'm an idiot, I didn't hear what the county doctor said, don't fool me, what's wrong with the examination, no Is it cancer, I know, what is there to be afraid of, if I can live for a day, I will live for a day, what are you going to do about it, could it be possible that when I am about to die, I will lose my family fortune, you are just living a life!"

The second uncle was frightened, walked up to grandma in a few steps, and said, "Mom, do you know everything?"

Grandma let out a sigh, without the slightest fear in her attitude, "Your mother, I'm not stupid. People eat whole grains, so there's no reason why they can't get sick. Besides, I've had stomach pains for so many years. It's fine if I don't check it. The inspection must be a big deal, I have never seen anything in my life, so what are you afraid of, your mother and I are over 60, enough money."

The second uncle couldn't control his emotions, he held back the tears in his eyes and looked at his grandma, "You are enough, so what about us, you are not afraid, but my dad, you don't even know how nervous my dad was just now, you are afraid of you He can't live alone, mom, I know you have never been afraid of anything in your life, and you don't take this disease seriously, but even if you are doing it for your family, for me, my dad, you just Is it okay to cooperate, let's go to the big city to cure it."

Grandma slowly lowered her eyes when she heard the second uncle's words, and sighed, "It's not that I won't go, it's the money, Ruowen, whoever's money didn't come from the strong wind. I heard that too many families who went to see a doctor were ruined. That’s right, cancer, what’s the cure? After treatment, the money ran out, and the person left..."

"I'm not afraid, money can be earned, Mom, I beg you, really, look at Four Treasures, are you willing to let her go, she is not yet an adult, at least you have to wait until she leaves, Mom... ..."

Grandma's eyes slowly fell on my face, and the reluctance in her eyes came out instantly under the tears of my second uncle, "Sibao..."

The corners of my mouth couldn't help grinning, looking at my grandma, I felt a pain in my chest, "Grandma, don't die, I'm afraid, you go to a big hospital for treatment, the doctor there will definitely take your life away." The disease was cured..."

Grandma stretched out her hand and hugged me tightly. Although she was not talking, I clearly felt that something like water droplets kept falling on the hair on the top of my head. It was not raining, but my always strong grandma hugged me and cried up.

Xiaoliu and I couldn't sleep at night, and I didn't know what he was looking for, so I went to the backyard by myself. I wanted to ask my second uncle how difficult this disease called cancer is, why did grandma If you don't want to go to a hospital in a big city, is it because you are afraid of spending money, or is it really impossible to cure?
"Ruowen, do you think that Mom's current bad disease is related to saving Mr. Shen back then? This thing just leaked too many secrets, so I have to suffer, isn't it?"

After a pause, I heard the sound and went directly to the second uncle's window to listen carefully.

The second uncle's tone has been heavy, "What's the use of saying this now? It's been two years. For us, the most important thing is to raise money. I asked the hospital in the county. As long as it is related to this tumor , Then it’s not a matter of 1 to [-] yuan for treatment. I heard that chemotherapy, radiotherapy and so on are needed, but the doctor at Renxian Hospital said that my mother will definitely not survive this year without treatment. With treatment, there will be more Live for a few years..."

That Mingyue also kept sighing along with the voice, "I understand, but isn't our family's financial situation right? Now that Xiaoliu and Baosi don't need to spend much money to go to school, it's even more of a problem. Anyway, we Hurry up to raise money in these two days. I am married to you and I am from the old Xue family. My mother treats me well, especially Xiaoliu. They are all treated as grandchildren. We can borrow as much as we can. Even if it costs money to continue our lives, we are willing to..."

I turned around silently, and now I understood everything, and the words that Mingyue said kept lingering in my ears, 'spend money to extend my life', that is to say, I need money, a lot of money.

To be honest, I have grown up so much that I have never seen even 1000 yuan. Bills with a denomination of more than [-] yuan are considered a lot of money to me, but when I heard what the second uncle said tens of thousands, it felt like an astronomical figure. , Thinking about grandma’s attitude of refusing to go to a big hospital for treatment, maybe, it’s not that grandma is really not afraid, she must be distressed about money, just like grandma’s poor health at that time, she also said don’t waste money, don’t use imported anti-inflammatory medicine...

Money, this word, for the first time in my short 12 years of life, occupies a major position in my heart. I want money, a lot of money, and I understand it very clearly. Without money, maybe I Grandma couldn't survive.

"Fourth sister."

Going back to the front room again, Xiao Liu shouted at me profusely, with uncontrollable joy in his eyes, "Come and see..."

I glanced over and saw that he was sitting on the kang, with a pile of ten-cent bills spread out in front of him, including steel coins and ten-cent bills, all in a mess, gathered together like a hill.

A little surprised, I leaned over and stretched out my hand to pull it, "Where did you get it?"

He scratched his head shyly and smiled, "I found it from the drawer. I saved it before. If I have pocket money that I haven't spent, I'll stuff it everywhere. When I run out of money, I'll look for it again. This method Well, let's look it up, see how much money we have, and then take it to grandma for medical treatment."

I nodded, ignoring the crooked drawers that dragged him out, I knelt down on the kang and checked with him. After a long time of ordering, we were both a little disappointed, especially Xiaoliu, who was full. They were all dejected after being poured a pot of cold water, "Why is it only seven yuan and two, Fourth Sister, I can add up to 100 yuan."

"Seven yuan and two...it's not easy."

I tried my best to comfort him, after all, he is in good spirits. In fact, I was a little discouraged when I checked halfway. I saw that there were a lot of money, but they were all small bills. The smallest one was a penny coin, and the biggest one was green. It's not easy to buy a two-cent bill, seven yuan and two.

"But it's not even enough to buy a ticket."

Xiao Liu said sullenly, and pulled the money into a bag, "I thought I could help grandma."

I patted him on the shoulder, and looked at my box again, "It's okay, I'm still there, I'll think of a way, and I'll definitely make a lot of money!"

Xiao Liu didn't believe it, "Really? But my dad said he won't let you touch that gold bracelet."

"Don't move the gold bracelet!"

I continued seriously, "I have more valuable ones!"

I didn't sleep well all night. Fortunately, it's summer vacation now, and I have a lot of time to do my own work. Otherwise, if I still go to school, I will definitely be troubled.

I ate my breakfast indiscriminately, and I didn't look for my grandma and second uncle's ink marks. I found a pillow towel to wrap my wooden box and went out.

……

Li Jianguo was doing carpentry in the yard, and when he looked back at me, he was taken aback for a moment, "Ah, isn't this Baosi? Why, come and play with my Xiaoxue."

I smiled and looked at him, "No, Uncle Li, I'm here to look for you, what are you doing?"

"What's the matter with me, you kid?"

He couldn't help smiling, got up and wiped his face with a towel, "I'm making a desk for Li Xue, do you have a desk at home, if not, tell your grandma, ask me to make one for you, It’s not much money, and it’s convenient for you and Xiao Liu to write future homework and study.”

I laughed along with him, walked to the board he was shaving and leveled, and touched it, "What kind of wood is this, okay..."

"Hahaha."

Li Jianguo couldn't stop laughing when he saw me like this, "You little girl still knows wood, don't worry, I guarantee that you won't lose shape in ten or twenty years, I didn't say anything about my craftsmanship."

I clicked my tongue twice, "I just look at this wood, it's not good."

Li Jianguo raised his eyebrows, "Hey, you little girl knows what's good and what's good. You can live in it if you can use it. I'm still made of pure solid wood. The ones in the city are all composite wood now, so the price and style are good. Really. Compared with the quality, what I made is far worse!"

I don't like to talk about these things with him. I don't understand at all, but I pretended to be quite knowledgeable and kept curling my lips, "Anyway, the wood is not good, and the kang cabinet in my house is still yellow. As for the rosewood ones, that’s called good wood, but now they are all antiques..."

Li Jianguo looked at me with deep eyes, "Who told you that the cabinet in your house is made of huanghuali?"

"Leave it alone."

I waved my hands like a little adult, looked at him and sighed deliberately, "There was a person who came to my house before, and that person said, there is a baby in my house that is better than that Huanghuali kang cabinet, but I'm afraid he is here Lie to children, isn't it school and it's holiday now, I thought, bring it to Uncle Li to see if that person lied to me..."

Li Jianguo glanced at the box wrapped in a pillowcase in my arms, "That's it?"

"Yeah, just this broken box, do you think it's worth..."

I pretended not to know how to lift the pillow cover, and stared at Li Jianguo's expression for fear of missing a detail. I saw that Li Jianguo looked at my box and frowned first, then reached out hesitantly to touch it, and then opened the box cover and rubbed it back and forth. After a moment, put your fingertips under your nose and sniff lightly, your eyes lit up immediately, "It really is Xiaoyezi..."

"What?"

I stared at Uncle Li with wide eyes, "What is it? Is it valuable?"

Li Jianguo cleared his throat suddenly, and pushed the box in my arms, "Hey, it's just a mahogany box. It's been a long time, so it's not worth much. It's hard to say that the craftsmanship is better than preservation. You see, it's all black on top, and no one picked it up when it was thrown on the avenue."

I groaned, lowered my head and looked at the box carefully, "Oh, I just said that outsiders can't be trusted to lie to me, a kid."

As I said that, I looked at Li Jianguo and forced a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Li. My grandma said that Uncle Li is an expert, and carpenters know this best. Alas, it's fine if I don't play tricks. I thought this The box is very valuable. He told me that he would pay me 2000 yuan to buy this box. I was afraid that he would fool me, so I didn’t do it. If I knew it, I would have sold it to him. I can also buy a new schoolbag with Xiaoliuyi. Lots of delicious food."

Li Jianguo didn't speak, his eyes were still fixed on my box, "Why, you want money to buy a new schoolbag."

"Yes I do."

I was still depressed, "If I knew it, I would have sold it. I was afraid that the old man would lie to me. I asked, if it was really valuable, it would be an antique. This thing was given to me by my grandma. My family said it was casual. I deal with it myself, and they don’t care, but I don’t have much pocket money, if I have a lot of money, I can buy whatever I want.”

After talking for a long time, I stopped and looked at Li Jianguo with some embarrassment, "Then I'm bothering you, Uncle Li, I'm going home first, since this box is worthless, I'll keep it for myself as a treat for my grandma." Think about it."

After I turned around and took a few steps, Li Jianguo called me from behind, "Hey! Look at you kid, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Your grandma is not in good health now, so I must have little pocket money for you. , How about this, Uncle will pay 200 yuan, you give me the broken box, and I will buy you and Xiaoliu a new schoolbag."

I looked back at him gratefully, "Really?"

Li Jianguo looked bold, "Of course it is true, we have been neighbors for so long, you are just like my child!"

During the conversation, Li Xue also came out of the room. She must have heard the conversation between me and his father. She glanced at my box and nodded, "Dad, you can buy the box that Xue recognized. Help her."

I'm quite surprised by this, although she doesn't know my way, but I don't believe she can see that I'm the lobular red sandalwood, she should have believed my words and wanted to help me, but I have no friendship with her , turned a few turns in my mind, and just wanted to understand, I saw Li Xue continue to open his mouth towards me, "I am very happy that you beat Sun Hongsheng. I will ask my dad to help me with this favor."

Look, I said that Li Xue is willing to 'help' me because of my affection, I looked at her with a smirk, and kept nodding, "Thank you so much."

Li Jianguo also looked at his daughter and smiled with satisfaction, "Xue'er, you did the right thing, we should help those in need!"

As he said that, he began to take money out of his pocket, until I saw him handing me 200 yuan to touch my box, I took a step back and changed my mind.

"Uncle Li, I thought about it, but I still can't sell it."

Li Jianguo was stunned, the money was still in front of me, "Why, you don't want a new schoolbag."

I looked at the box and sighed. "This is something my grandma gave me. If she finds out that I sold it, will she be very angry with me? Forget it, I won't sell it."

"Ugh?!"

Li Jianguo was in a hurry, and wanted to touch my box with one hand, "Baosi, this box is useless, think about it, how beautiful the new schoolbag is on the back."

I still shook my head, "I like the new schoolbag, but I can't explain it to my grandma. Once she gives my grandma a dream and lets my grandma know, what should I do? I'd better go home, Uncle Li. I am leaving."

"Baosi! How about this, uncle sees you are really pitiful, I'll give you three hundred, and then you can go back and buy some burning paper for your grandma for an extra 100 yuan?!"

I looked at him a little tempted, "Can that work? Can my grandma calm down?"

Li Jianguo nodded again and again, "Sure, come on, uncle will give you another hundred!"

I watched him take out the money and thought for a while, but I shook my head, "My grandma can't do it. I heard that some people burned anniversary ones before, and gave them a house, a car, paper figurines, etc. It’s thousands of dollars, if I really tell my grandma that I sold the things she left me to buy delicious and interesting things, then I’ll buy some burnt paper for my grandma.”

Li Jianguo was a little unhappy, "Bao Si, Uncle is here to help you, if you don't do it, then forget it, anyway, the box is not good, so it's not worth three hundred."

I agree with what he said, nodded and said to myself. "Yeah, it's not worth a penny, but I know that my love for my grandma is worth a lot. I want a new schoolbag, and I want to send paper to my grandma. If I knew it, I would have sold it to that person. It’s two thousand, but unfortunately I was too greedy at the time, and I said that if I can give me ten thousand, then I can sell it.”

"what!"

Li Xue was shocked, "Ten thousand? Are you kidding Xue Baosi, who can buy a broken box for 1 yuan, we are helping you to pay back!"

I looked at her apologetically, "I understand, it's my fault, I just think too much, I want to sell more money, so that I can help my family, if this box is really as good as that person said It’s fine if it’s worth the money, oh, forget it, I’m leaving to bother you.”

Li Jianguo's face was tightly tensed, "Bao Si, tell the truth, do you really want to sell this box?"

My head was pounding, "Yes, but I think even if it's not valuable, she is something my grandma left for me. I want ten thousand. I know it's a lot of money, but I..."

"do not talk!!"

Li Jianguo let out a long breath and looked at me very touched, "You are also filial, how about this, can you really make decisions about this box?"

"Well, yes."

"Well, Uncle will make a written statement with you. Today, Uncle will offer 2000 yuan for your filial piety. How about buying your box?"

"Dad! You're crazy!"

Regardless of Li Xue's excitement, I looked at Li Jianguo and shook his head, "No, I think it will cost [-]."

"Ten thousand..."

Li Jianguo's eyes were almost obsessed with looking at my box twice, "So, I..."

Xiao Liu outside the door called me at the right time, and I hurriedly responded, "Uncle, I have to go home first, and I will bring you the box in two days! Thank you for your willingness to help me!!"

After I finished speaking, I didn't care who was keeping me up and ran away. When I ran out of the gate, I heard Li Xue yelling at Li Jianguo speechlessly, "Dad! What do you think? I think the broken box is more than two hundred. No matter how kind you are, you can't do this, if my mother finds out, she must be anxious with you!!"

I couldn't help holding my lips, 2000 yuan to buy my box?

Beautiful you guys!I, Xue Baosi, are here to trade the market!

"Fourth sister, what's the matter, you should be with Li Xue's father."

I didn't respond, but I was thinking about Li Xue's father's eyes that were about to fall out when he looked at the box. In fact, Lu Xingyue really gave me a lot. Listening to people doesn't necessarily mean listening to what he says, but not saying anything. What, Li Jianguo's eyes really told me a lot.

"Didn't your mother say to borrow money from your elder brother's house, and come back?"

Xiao Liu nodded, "I'm back, I was arguing with my dad in the back room, I seemed to be offended, saying that my aunt didn't want to borrow money, and that it would be easy to lose money if I borrowed it, my mother said she would go to the county with her bag and find me Uncle carries the money."

I nodded, and as soon as I ran to the backyard, I saw that Mingyue came out in a new dress. I called my aunt and ran over, stuffing the box into her arms, "Auntie, go to the county to find an antique shop." Let’s sell this box, it’s worth [-] or more, no, [-] is fine, there must be a lot of people buying it.”

That Mingyue was taken aback by my actions, "Baosi, how can your box be worth so much money, stop making trouble, I..."

"valuable."

I said confidently, "Just now Li Xue's father said he would pay 2000 yuan to buy it."

"What?"

That Mingyue was shocked, "He's stupid, he wants to sell two of this box...then why didn't you sell it!!"

Talking about that, Mingyue came to his senses, "Yes, he is a carpenter, he must understand this thing, if he wants to buy it, he must take advantage of our ignorance of pedestrians, hey, Baosi, you are amazing , What are you pretending to be in your little head!"

I don’t know what I’m packing. What’s clear is that I have to find out what the box will be worth. What I can be sure of is that it will be worth more than the gold bracelet. Since the gold bracelet is several thousand yuan, the box should be tens of thousands. , especially in combination with Li Xue's father's eyes, if Xiao Liu calls me later, maybe ten thousand his father can do it, so happy, then this box must be super valuable!
"Let's go, Second Aunt. Anyway, this box is very expensive. I won't lie to you. Just go to the antique shop and ask. This is called Xiaoye Zitan. Uncle Shen told me before that it is much more valuable than my bracelet. My bracelet was left to me by my grandmother and cannot be sold, but the box is fine."

I think it's okay to tell some lies appropriately, and it should be useful to throw out a well-informed urbanite like Uncle Shen.

After hearing what I said, Mingyue paid more attention to this bracelet, "Okay, then I'll go and ask now, if there is no price, I will take it back, this is Xiaoye or something."

"Purple Sandalwood!"

"Oh, okay, you guys stay at home and I'll be back in the afternoon!"

……

Xiaoliu and I couldn't sit still at home, so we went to the entrance of the village hand in hand to wait for the second aunt's bus to return to the village. Ask me, "I heard that you opened Sun Hongsheng's head?"

Seeing that I was silent, she would chase after me and ask, "Hey! Is it you!"

I'm really not in the mood to talk to them, and I'm full of thoughts about the second aunt going to raise money, because the second uncle has been persuading my grandma to go to a big city for treatment at home, and my grandma finally let go, I'm afraid of the money Something is going wrong.

"It was my fourth sister who beat Sun Hongsheng with a brick!"

In fact, I don’t need to say it myself, Xiao Liu will basically start to describe to everyone what I was like at that time.

All the children listening widened their eyes, and finally gave me a thumbs up, "Xue Baosi! You are awesome! You will be the boss of our Xiatang from now on!"

I dismissed it, and I didn't care about the title of boss as early as two years ago!

They admired me even more for my attitude of not taking it seriously, and they kept saying, "Who is as courageous as Xue Baosi? We are all afraid of being beaten, but Xue Baosi is not afraid!!"

"That's right, my fourth sister is not afraid of anything!"

Xiao Liu couldn't be more proud, standing beside me looked like he wanted to command thousands of troops, "Even Lao Wazi is my fourth sister's friend, if she asks Lao Wazi to blind anyone's eyes, Lao Wazi will go! Listen! She said it!!"

A group of children admired me even more, "Xue Baosi! We will be friends with you from now on! Then no one will dare to bully us! We will no longer be afraid of Sun Qiang!"

They were arguing, I saw Mingyue's car approaching, and ran over in a few steps, "Second aunt, second aunt!!"

That Mingyue came down with an excited expression on her face, "Bao Si, why are you waiting for me here?!"

I nodded and looked at her eagerly, "What about the money, did you get the money for grandma's medical treatment?"

She hugged me and wept with joy, "Baosi, thanks to you, your box, my aunt sold it at Yuan Datou's when I used it for Xiaoliu. Guess how much it is, [-], my God, I really didn’t even dare to think about it, there’s no need to carry the money, we’ll go to the city to treat your grandma tomorrow!!”

My heart was finally let go, and I took the hand of Mingyue and hurried towards home.

Xiao Liu was still bragging to those kids on the spot, but in a blink of an eye, he saw that we had already left and hurried to follow, shouting while running, "Don't follow us, my fourth sister and I don't have time to follow now. You guys are playing!!"

I think, if I exclude all the bad consequences caused by beating Sun Hongsheng, from the child's point of view, I should be regarded as becoming famous in one battle, not in one brick.

After entering the door, the second uncle came out first. Naturally, he wanted to ask how much Mingyue brought back, but when he heard that Mingyue just sold my box, he was shocked, "That box is so valuable?"

That Mingyue drank a glass of water to quench his thirst first, and then nodded in disbelief, "Yes, the main reason is that I kept an eye on it. The first one I saw was [-], and the boss was very happy. I agreed, but I didn’t sell it when I saw it. Another one cost [-] yuan. The boss said it was too high, so I went to Yuan Datou’s house, which was sold for [-] yuan. I think this box will definitely sell for a high price, and people say that this box is not only valuable because of the material, but also because it is old, something that belongs to the Qing Dynasty, and it is an absolute antique!"

The second uncle responded with some sighs, and reached out to touch my head, "I lost four treasures, I didn't expect it, and finally sold a box..."

"Second uncle, it's okay to sell boxes. At least, the gold bracelet my grandma gave me is still there."

In fact, I also feel sorry for the box. After all, it has been a treasure for so many years, but compared with grandma's illness, these are not worth mentioning.

The second uncle nodded, "Okay, I have enough money now, don't delay, Mingyue, you will take Sibao and Mom to the county to buy a bus ticket tomorrow, and I will contact Ruojun at home. If there is anything wrong with calling her, you can go directly to her according to the address she gave us, mainly to ask her to help lead you to the hospital or something, you know."

Xiao Liu interrupted, "Dad, I'm not going."

The second uncle and the others had obviously finished their meeting in private. Looking at Xiao Liu, he directly explained, "If you don't go, your mother will take your fourth sister and your grandma to the city. You and I will take care of grandpa at home, you know."

I had objections at first, but after thinking about it, I understood the second uncle's arrangement. We must keep someone at home. Grandpa's legs are not good. It must be inconvenient for Mingyue to take care of things that involve going to the toilet. The reason for going was probably to see my mother and help Mingyue take care of her grandma.

That night, grandma still murmured that she didn't want to go. No matter whether the money was borrowed or not, she always felt that it was not worth it to use it for medical treatment, but the family's attitude was firm, and she had to go even if she didn't. He said indiscriminately, saying that everyone in the world wants to live and not die, if grandma insists on going like this, it will make him unfilial, then he will go on a diet and go with her until the day grandma leaves home!

Speaking of this matter, grandma didn't move at all, and it took a long time before she let out a soft sigh, "I, Xue Fengnian, have such filial sons and daughters, so I am lucky..."

I still didn't sleep well at night, I had something on my mind, and I always felt chaotic. Several times I dreamed of a person standing straight at the gate of my house. There seemed to be an enchantment on the threshold of the yard. He can't get out, he can't come in, although I can't see him clearly, but I can be sure that he has no head, so I seem to know it in my heart, I can be sure that he is that Bei Xianer, who has been coveting us, Waiting for an opportunity to mess up.

In summer, the nights are short, the bright moon came to wake me up when it was just dawn, and Xiaoliu was still sound asleep. I knew I was going to take a car, so I got up consciously and brushed my teeth and washed my face. Grandma’s mouth still made a hissing sound. , it seemed that the pain was unbearable. Grandpa asked her to take some painkillers with breakfast. When she left the house, she still told Mingyue to take a good look at it. Don't be afraid to spend money and come back after seeing it.

That Mingyue said that she knew everything, and helped her grandma walk along the dirt road in the village to the entrance of the village. My second uncle held me in one hand and carried a luggage bag in the other. The second uncle of Kung Fu also kept explaining, "There are many scammers in the city, so the money must not be exposed, and don't be deceived."

"I know, when I find Ruojun, I will listen to her."

The second uncle is still a little worried, "I don't know what's wrong with Ruojun. I can't get through the phone. I'll call again later. If you get off the car and don't see her pick it up, just find a car and go directly to her house. Everything you live in is safe." Remember to call the small shop, if I have nothing to do at night, I will go to the small shop and wait."

That Mingyue replied, "It's okay, we will go to the hotel at worst, and you will take good care of Dad at home."

While talking, the car came, and the second uncle asked me to take good care of my grandma. I nodded and helped my grandma who was in poor condition to get on the car. As soon as I was done, I saw Big Brother Jiashu hurried over, "Grandma Grandma, wait for me!"

The second uncle turned around and was stunned when he saw the eldest brother, "Jiashu, why are you here so early?"

Brother Jiashu waved one hand, and threw a bag in his hand through the open car window, "Sister-in-law, take this away, my mother is my mother, I am me, this is me If you like it, take it to grandma to see a doctor!"

That Mingyue didn't dare to open the bag too much, she only opened a small opening, and opened her eyes wide after seeing that it was all money, "Jiashu, where is your mother..."

"Don't say anything, let's go, I will talk to my mother, Sibao, take good care of your grandma!"

I agreed, watching the second uncle and elder brother follow us further and further away as the bus started...

After arriving at the county seat, Mingyue went to buy the ticket immediately, and everything went well despite her grandma’s sluggish state. After buying the ticket, Mingyue squeezed out to tell us the driving time, and said that the train was an express train, so it wouldn’t stop for a few stops. , "Mom, look, come from Anton, stop here for a while, then you will arrive at the provincial capital, and then the final stop will be Bincheng!"

Grandma nodded without even the strength to speak, "Listen to you, let's go as you say."

After waiting for a while, I checked the ticket and got on the train. I was in a bad mood, and I followed my grandma all the time. After the train started, I was dazed and a little sleepy. Look, besides eating some dry food brought from home, I fell asleep in a daze.

"Bao Si! Look! Look at how beautiful she is!"

I don’t know if Mingyue looked at me too weakly. When the bus arrived in the provincial capital, she pointed to a large circle-like building in the distance outside the window with excitement and opened her mouth, “I heard what they said That’s called a Ferris wheel, isn’t it pretty?”

"Ah."

I answered without thinking, "It looks good."

That Mingyue reached out and touched my head, "Baosi, don't do this, your grandma will feel bad if she sees it... Look out the window. It's so beautiful, the big city is so prosperous."

I raised my eyelids and followed her finger to look out the window. After the train stopped, there were a lot of people getting off the train. In order to arouse my emotions, Mingyue pointed at me enthusiastically, "Ah! Baosi! Look, look at that The little boy wears the same sandals as you, it must belong to our family!"

Looking out, I saw a tall, thin child holding an old man's hand and walking towards the exit. The light on the platform was very bright, and the child who was about my age was looking around curiously. , "Bao Si, did you see that your shoes are the same, you have sandals like this, even boys wear them."

"She's a girl."

I looked at her back, and it really looked like I was holding my grandma's hand, but she was obviously taller than me.

"what?"

That Mingyue was stunned for a moment, "Little boy."

"female"

I opened my mouth very firmly, this feeling is very inexplicable, don't open your eyes, I rest my head on my grandma's shoulder, I am also very curious about big cities, but at this moment, I am really not in the mood to appreciate these beautiful scenery.
