Xia Haoran looked at the dilapidated courtyard door in front of him and sighed slightly... He originally guessed that the conditions of Li Mengyao's family might be very poor, but now it seems that maybe in this shanty town, the conditions of Li Mengyao's family should be better.
Downward.
The courtyard door of her house is obviously much worse than that of other houses. It must have not been repaired for a long time. I don't know whether it is because of lack of time or lack of money.
Li Mengyao walked quickly to the front, stretched out her hand and pushed the courtyard door. It turned out that the courtyard door was ajar. With a slight push, the courtyard door opened with a "squeak" sound, and the girl's face showed
Feeling a trace of embarrassment, he whispered: "Please come in! The house is very simple and there is nothing to entertain you. Please forgive me."
"Nothing, your smile is better than anything else, better than any kind of entertainment." Xia Haoran smiled slightly, then walked into the small courtyard, looked at the messy things in the yard, and said with some surprise: "Uh
, Yaoyao, you also have a cherry tree in your house, it’s not bad!”
Those who live in bungalows and have a yard at home usually plant some vegetables, fruits and trees in the yard. Almost every household in the countryside has one.
Li Jianghai specially took a day off today.
I heard from my daughter that a male classmate is coming to play at home today. Moreover, that classmate has medical skills and may have cured his wife's health. Originally, if another person had told this matter, he would definitely call him "crazy"! Then!
But paralysis, if there is a problem with the nervous system, cannot be cured at all with the current medical level!
However, with his wife on one side and his beloved daughter on the other, looking at those two pairs of four expectant eyes, Li Jianghai softened his heart. It would just waste a day. At worst, I told the night shift master
Let's make a switch and let him step in for me first, and then I can help him get out of the car in the evening.
Therefore, Li Jianghai stayed at home honestly today and talked with his wife.
He knew the approximate time of his daughter's return. Normally he wouldn't have cared too much about it, but today was different. His daughter's male classmate was coming to the house. This was different. He knew exactly what the conditions were at home.
In addition, my daughter has excelled in both fine arts and academics since she was a child, so she has developed the habit of looking higher than her head. She usually doesn't like those boys. This is not a problem with her sexual orientation, but her daughter's sincere feelings.
I just look down on those boys.
Unexpectedly, my daughter, who has always been very ambitious, would actually bring a male classmate to play at home. What a miracle! Regardless of the student's medical skills, just the fact that my daughter brought the male classmate home,
It’s worth pondering.
Not to mention how happy Li Jianghai was. If his wife hadn't broken his leg and was bedridden, he would have thrown his head up and laughed three times at this moment. However, he also secretly cheered up. Although today's society advocates free love, but doing so
Parents, they have to take care of themselves at critical moments, right?
Therefore, Li Jianghai could be said to be eager to see what was going on. He would just stare at the yard for a few times if he had nothing to do.
"Yao Yao, are your classmates here?"
Li Jianghai's voice came from inside the house. When he heard the sound of the courtyard door just now, he knew that his daughter and her classmates had come in, so he walked out of the main room while talking.
These are three shabby-looking brick houses. The walls are made of red bricks. There is no cement on the outside. The windows are sealed with plastic sheets and the door panels are full of mottled rust...
When he looked up, Li Jianghai suddenly saw a handsome young boy walking in from the courtyard gate, and his daughter happened to be following closely behind him. He hurriedly greeted him.
"Uh..." Li Mengyao felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was the first time she brought a boy home and she was bumped into by his parents. Although she had expected this kind of scene beforehand, she was still a little embarrassed.
"Hello, Uncle Li." When Xia Haoran saw the middle-aged man coming out of the house, he knew that this must be Li Mengyao's father, so he greeted him politely.
"Okay, young man. Are you Xia Haoran?" Li Jianghai looked up and down at Xia Haoran.
"Yes, Uncle Li, I am Xia Haoran." Xia Haoran said generously, but when he saw Li Jianghai's face clearly, Xia Haoran still couldn't help but jump: "Ah!! Is it you?"
"Uh, you know me?" Li Jianghai was also stunned. He looked familiar to the young man in front of him, but he couldn't remember it for a while. After all, a taxi driver like him has to pick up and drop off dozens of people every day.
Yeah, it's impossible to remember every guest so clearly. It's normal not to be able to remember them.
"Well, Uncle Li, I have also taken a ride in your car." Xia Haoran said.
"Oh? I just said, you look familiar. Come on, come in quickly, it's cold outside!" Li Jianghai said as he called Xia Haoran into the room, "Yao Yao, go get your classmate a glass of water.
"
After entering the house, Li Jianghai discovered that Xia Haoran was carrying several bags of things, which looked like gifts. He couldn't help but have a better impression of this young man.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the house, Xia Haoran placed the gift on the coffee table in the room and said, "Uncle Li, this is some fruit I brought to you and your aunt. It's not respectful."
"Look, you kid, you're here right now, and what gifts are you bringing! You can't do this next time!" Li Jianghai deliberately said with a serious face. In fact, although he said so, he was secretly thinking in his heart.
nod.
The house is a typical old-fashioned public house. There is a living room as soon as you enter the door, and the two rooms on the left and right are separated, just like a large room within a small room. There is also a small room in the backyard, which must be the kitchen.
Xia Haoran took a quick glance and found that there was no heating equipment in the house. It was still the severe winter. I really don't know how this family of three survived every winter. Of course, this coldness was not worth mentioning to Xia Haoran.
, but Li Mengyao’s family are real ordinary people!
"Sit down! Young man, our house is simple, don't make fun of us." Li Jianghai clapped his hands and said a little embarrassed.
"Uncle, you're welcome. I believe this is only temporary."
In the living room, there is a shabby sofa with some old-fashioned wooden furniture next to it. Because the size of the sofa is limited, Xia Haoran sat on the sofa, so Li Jianghai naturally sat on the wooden sofa opposite Xia Haoran.
on the chair.
After the two sat down, they chatted with each other.
Li Jianghai heard that Haoran spoke very politely and appropriately, and his impression of Xia Haoran improved. He looked good, tall and handsome. And his daughter said that this young man had good academic performance.
He actually ranked first in the school in the exam, which made him even more satisfied.
What Xia Haoran didn't know was that in Li Jianghai's heart, he had become a veritable son-in-law-to-be.
"Uncle, is aunt in the house?" The two chatted for a while, then Xia Haoran changed the topic and asked.
"Yeah, I'm going to fall asleep now. Alas! After Yaoyao's mother had a car accident, she lost consciousness in her lower body and had difficulty moving, so she spent almost all of these years in bed." Li Jianghai said in his tone when he mentioned this.
It's also a bit low-key.
"I didn't think so. Everything will be fine. Uncle Li, don't be too pessimistic. After all, this kind of irresistible disaster is something that none of us could have predicted." Xia Haoran comforted him.
People often say that what poor families fear most is getting sick. Because they can't afford to see a doctor, they can't even get sick.
It was originally a happy little family, but it turned out to be like this by a driver who caused an accident. Every time he thinks about it, Li Jianghai's heart is filled with unwillingness and strong resentment! But what can he do if he is unwilling? He has to live day by day.
"Haoran, I heard from Yaoyao that you have medical skills and can cure Yaoyao's damn disease?" At this point, Li Jianghai looked at Xia Haoran eagerly, his eyes full of excitement and anxiety.
"It turns out that I heard some basic information from Yaoyao, and I have a certain degree of confidence, but I have to check it myself. Shall I go see Auntie now?" Xia Haoran stood up.
At this time, Li Mengyao also came out of the house and said, "My mother will wake up now and you can go in."
