Aunt Zhang's family also smiled, "It's you who tutored me well."
"After the summer tutoring you gave him, his grades improved a lot after school started. The teachers praised him for his progress."
"Ask me if I hired any tutor for my child?"
"I said yes, my child's tutor is a top student at Yanda University."
"It's amazing."
...
"Aunt, Ah He learned it with great care."
Zhang Bo was a little embarrassed.
"Oh, that boy just listens to what you say."
Aunt Zhang waved her hand, "How can he sit at the desk without you watching?"
"Abo, thank you for tutoring Ahe."
"Well, uncle, thank you too."
Uncle Zhang also spoke, "Abo, thank you for setting a good example for that boy."
...
"When I go fishing, I always leave for ten and a half days, or even longer. I can't stay home for more than a few days."
"Your aunt is more doting on children."
"Fortunately, although that kid is a little out of place, he doesn't grow crooked after following you."
"Although he always likes to quarrel with me, he is a good boy."
Uncle Zhang grinned.
...
"Uncle, aunt, you are too polite."
Zhang Bo scratched his hair and smiled bitterly, "Why did the topic come to this?"
"I didn't do anything."
...
"Haha~"
Uncle Zhang laughed out loud, "Okay, if you continue talking, this kid Abo will become more and more uncomfortable."
"Actually, uncle is too embarrassed to say this."
"But, uncle and aunt are really grateful for your help with the Ahena child."
"Thanks."
Uncle Zhang thanked him seriously again, then waved his hand, "Okay, I really won't say anything anymore."
"Eat vegetables."
Uncle Zhang greeted everyone, "If you don't eat, the vegetables will get cold."
“Seafood doesn’t taste good when it’s cold.”
...
In the afternoon, Uncle Zhang and his wife took Zhang Bo, Xiao Xiao and others to the hospital to visit Uncle Li.
Not only them, most of the people who helped Uncle Li find the turtle during this period also went to the hospital to see Uncle Li.
Because, it is said that Uncle Li is dying.
Although many people vaguely guessed this result.
After all, Uncle Li was suffering from an incurable disease, weak and weak, and he had been immersed in the sea for so long in the cold winter.
How can your body and bones bear it?
Therefore, when they saw Uncle Li jumping into the sea, everyone was shocked.
Even if they immediately went to sea to search and rescue.
The time delay has been too long.
The cold air soaked his body, and Uncle Li's fire of life was almost exhausted.
…
"Old Zhang."
"You are here too."
At the entrance of the hospital, Xiao Xiao and his group met Uncle Yu who had just come out of the inpatient building.
"seen it already?"
Uncle Zhang raised his eyes and looked at the white building in front of him.
"Um."
Uncle Yu sighed, "It seems like it really won't work this time."
"Yeah?"
Uncle Zhang also sighed.
…
"It was just a matter of time."
Uncle Yu shook his head, his brows and eyes faded a bit, "Although these words don't sound good."
"But I still want to say that if you do it yourself, you will not survive."
"Uncle Li did all this himself."
"otherwise-"
"At least this year, he should be able to get through it."
Uncle Zhang was silent for a while, "Yes, the Chinese New Year is about to come..."
"This man is going to die.
…
Uncle Yu patted Uncle Zhang on the shoulder, "Okay, you go in."
"There are not many people in the ward at this time."
"However, even if there are not many people, if your group goes in, the ward should be full."
Uncle Yu smiled and said, "I'm leaving."
…
"Dong dong~"
The ward door was ajar, and Uncle Zhang raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
A hoarse female voice sounded.
Uncle Zhang pushed open the door and walked in.
Zhang Bo and others followed behind.
…
"Hello."
A haggard-looking woman stood beside the hospital bed, with a slight smile on her face and some confusion in her eyebrows.
She met too many unknown people today.
She didn't ask, just smiled.
She knew that they were all here to see Uncle Li.
It has nothing to do with her.
It doesn't matter whether she knows them or not.
Anyway, they all looked like they knew her.
…
"Hello, let's see Uncle Li."
Auntie stepped forward and said with a smile, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Thank you."
The woman has a gentle attitude.
To be honest, such a woman makes it difficult for Zhang Bo and others to put together the snobbish woman who is rumored to have married a man more than thirty years older than herself for money.
The woman stepped aside and gave everyone a place to visit beside the bed.
…
Uncle Li was lying quietly on the hospital bed.
The ravaged face was pale.
At this time, Uncle Zhang and the others discovered that Uncle Li was surprisingly thin.
Cheekbones are rugged.
With such a weak breath, he looked like a skinny mummy.
It makes those who watch it feel a bit frightened.
...
Auntie couldn't bear to look away.
Then he slowly turned back.
I knew in my heart that Uncle Li's time had really come.
I couldn't help but sigh softly.
In the quiet ward, everyone heard aunt's sigh.
Everyone also knows the reason why aunt sighed.
...
Uncle Li was still asleep, and Uncle Zhang had no intention of staying long.
He handed the fruit basket in his hand to the woman standing aside, "Since Uncle Li hasn't woken up, we won't disturb him any more."
"Here we go."
"Thank you for visiting."
The woman took the fruit basket, her eyebrows slightly curved, but there were still some wrinkles between her eyebrows, "Be careful on the way back."
"No need to send it away."
Uncle Zhang waved to the woman who was about to follow them out, "You-"
"Ahem~"
Uncle Zhang's unfinished words were interrupted by a sudden cough.
"Ahem~"
The woman turned back suddenly, and Uncle Zhang and others also suddenly raised their eyes and looked over.
...
The hospital bed made a slight creaking sound.
The quilt bulges.
An old, thin hand covered with age spots tightly squeezed the corner of the quilt.
Blue veins protrude from root to root.
You can see the strength and difficulty of the old man getting up.
...
Only then did the woman react. She took a few hurried steps and stood on the other side of the hospital bed.
She reached out and carefully supported the old man.
"Lao Li, take your time."
"Don't worry."
The old man stiffened for a moment, and then he calmed down obediently and allowed the woman to straighten his body.
Then the head of the bed slowly rose.
The old man's vision broadened.
He saw Xiao Zhang who came to see a doctor, Xiao Zhang's wife, and a few unfamiliar young... young people?!
Uncle Li's eyes suddenly opened wide, and the young man standing at the end was clearly reflected in them.
That, that's not...
The young man suddenly appeared in front of him in the sea?!
The young man who told him that the turtles were not the turtles he thought they were, but monsters... and the flesh of the turtles was not a panacea and had no effect on the diseases he was suffering from!
Why is this young man who shattered his last hope here?
As soon as he saw this young man, the confusion and despair he felt when he learned that his hope was shattered slowly filled his heart again like the cold water rising up from the ice.
