When Lian Xi led Uncle Li back home, his roommate was sitting on the sofa in the living room playing games.
"Hide the dream in the leaves, or the dream will go bad~"
The sweet voice of the antler girl came from the sound hole of the mobile phone, and when he heard the door open, he raised his head and glanced. When his eyes touched the middle-aged man who followed Lian Xi into the room, he paused slightly.
Oh
Mr. Zong glanced at him lightly, without commenting, and continued to play the game with his head down.
Lian Xi introduced: "Uncle Li, this is my roommate, and I am a shared house." Then he said to Gu Chen: "Ji Chen, this is Uncle Li, the old neighbor I met on the road, and I invited him back for dinner. dinner."
Hei Wuchang didn't lift his head: "Oh."
Uncle Li rubbed his head with a dry smile: "Xiao Lian, your roommate... quite a personality."
He has always been so arrogant and low in emotional intelligence, you understand and understand... He complained a lot, and even carried two large snakeskin bags into the kitchen. Uncle Li squatted down, untied the snakeskin bags, and began to take things out.
"This corn was just planted this summer. It's all glutinous corn. You can get it in a steamer. It's delicious."
"I bought this rapeseed oil at the market this morning. Hehe, this year my family has saved more than 30 kilograms in the oil market. If you still want to eat it in the future, Xiaolian, tell Uncle Li, Uncle Li will give it to you. You send it here."
"Oh yes, and this... "
…
A big bag of sticky corn tied with burlap twine, canola oil in a large white plastic pot…
Uncle Li took it out one by one, and soon the floor was full. Lian Xi listened silently, what Uncle Li takes, he takes. I want to say a lot, but I don't know what to say. Finally, Uncle Li took most of the snakeskin bag, clapped his hands on his trousers, and stood up: "That's all, I brought it all for you."
Lian Xi put the rapeseed oil in the kitchen cabinet and stood up: "It's too much, why don't you take some away."
Uncle Li smiled and said, "I still have a lot, and I brought them all for my eldest and second children. You see, there are so many more."
Looking at the simple and honest smiling face of the middle-aged man, Xi was silent for a moment, then laughed: "Well. Then I'll cook a dish for you, and then order a bowl of noodles?"
"OK."
After frying two dishes, I ordered three bowls of noodles.
Lian Xi called the minister, and Uncle Li, and the three sat at the table to eat together.
Halfway through the meal, Xi hesitated for a while, then said to Caochen, "It's getting late, it's almost nine o'clock, I want Uncle Li to stay for one night."
Uncle Li's hand holding the chopsticks stopped, and he hurriedly shook his head: "It's okay, I'll leave later."
Lian Xi: "The last bus for us here is at nine o'clock. Even if you go down, you probably won't be able to catch up. Otherwise, it's fine. I'll call you a taxi."
Uncle Li's eyes widened: "Then how can I do it? My second child's house is far from yours, and taxis are expensive."
Lian Xi: "Then you can stay with me for the first night."
Uncle Li: "This..."
Seeing that Uncle Li had been persuaded, Lian Xi looked at his roommate again. I saw my roommate was eating noodles while swiping his phone, as if he didn't think the topic just now was related to him. Lian Xi coughed: "Chen Chen."
"Huh?" The priest looked up at him.
Lian Xi: "Well, I want Uncle Li to sleep in your room."
The action of eating noodles stopped abruptly, and the minister raised an eyebrow.
Oh huh
Lian Xi took a deep breath and explained: "Su Jiao's house has been unoccupied for a long time, and it has not been ventilated and cleaned. I have to live broadcast at night." Although it is already late, "It will definitely be inconvenient to broadcast live, and it will make Uncle Li noisy. Sleep. So... can he sleep in your room?"
Caochen: "You want to broadcast live?"
"right."
"Live playing games?"
"...Yes." Why does it feel strange.
"Take me one."
"… "
Lian Xi smiled and said, "Okay."
Caochen raised the corners of his lips, nodded in satisfaction, turned his head and said to Uncle Li, who was bewildered, "You sleep in my room."
Uncle Li was stunned and said, "Uh, good."
***
After eating, Uncle Li took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Seeing that Uncle Li took the rag and was about to wash the dishes, Lian Xi hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle Li, I have a dishwasher. Leave it alone, I'll clean it up tomorrow."
"Ah, the dishwasher?"
"right."
"Oh good." The middle-aged man from the country put the rag back embarrassingly.
Koomi's room was the smallest of the three, but for him, it was enough. Because Lian Xi never saw him fall asleep. After helping Uncle Li move the luggage to the room, he packed up a little. Lian Xi smiled and said, "Good night, go to bed early."
Uncle Li nodded at him: "Okay, Xiaolian, you also go to bed earlier."
The door clicked shut.
When Lian Xi walked back to his room, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. As soon as he entered the door, Hei Wuchang pulled up his chair early and sat beside his computer desk. Lian Xi's mouth twitched slightly, and the minister raised his eyes to look at him: "Take me to play games?"
Lian Xi smiled slightly: "Okay."
The live broadcast was broadcast until 12:00 in the morning, and the two of them closed the game, and Mr. Zong was still a little unfinished.
"What is the anti-addiction system?"
Lian Xi: "..." Just to guard against you, who love to play and eat!
Lian Xi made up his mind, must not let Mr. Ge know that this game can still play trumpet! The tuba has been prevented from being addicted, and the trumpet can continue to play. Never let him know!
The two put on their coats and went out to catch ghosts.
When he reached the door of Uncle Li's room, Lian Xi gently opened the door a crack. I saw the dim moonlight shining into the house through the window. Uncle Li, who was lying on the bed, seemed to have fallen asleep, quietly and without sound.
Closing the door, the two pushed open the door.
After entering the elevator, the two of them bowed their heads and played with their mobile phones. At first glance, they looked like two ordinary young people. No one could have imagined that this would turn out to be the black and white impermanence of Su City.
"Is that your relative?"
Lian Xi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at his colleagues.
A few seconds passed.
"No, it's my former neighbor."
Zhao Chen put away his phone, looked up at him, and was about to say, "You treat him like a normal neighbor." Before he could say anything, Lian Xi laughed helplessly under the cold and bright elevator lights. The voice was gentle and gentle: "After my family died, and no relatives wanted me, I went to the orphanage. Uncle Li has two sons, he can't possibly take care of me, but he goes to the orphanage to see me every month. "
Thinking of the old days, every day is like in front of you. Lian Xi said: "Every year when I celebrate my birthday, he will bring me a small cake. I am the first in the final exam class, he will remember this, and he will buy me snacks as a reward. I don't want anything in return, he is just pure and simple. Good people, look at me poor."
"So he is not my relative, but my family."
Looking at the young man with bright eyes in front of him, for some reason, the minister watched quietly for a while. After a long time, he said: "But he may not live long."
The smile froze on his face, and he turned his head and looked at him: "What did you say?"
The minister lightly tapped Lianxi's abdomen with his hand. The slender fingertips poked a small circular hole in his clothes, and Hei Wuchang looked calm: "Hei, here, it's different from normal humans."
Early the next morning.
When Uncle Li got up, it was just dawn.
The elderly always like to go to bed early and get up early, his wife died early, and his two sons grew up and had their own family. He was alone in the country, and he didn't find a wife. Every day he got up before dawn. It's too late today.
When he went out, Uncle Li thought that Lian Xi and Gu Chen must not wake up.
Young people are like that, staying up until midnight every night and sleeping until noon the next day. Uncle Li thought in his heart to tell Xiao Lian well that he can't go to bed so late in the future, and he will regret it when he grows old. He was thinking, just opened the door, a fragrant smell of porridge rushed to his face.
Eh
Uncle Li froze in place. At this time, Lian Xi came out of the kitchen with two bowls of porridge. Seeing him awake, Lian Xi greeted him, "Have some porridge, Uncle Li, I'll take you to the hospital after drinking."
Uncle Li opened his mouth and didn't move for a long time.
…
"Well, my disease was checked in the town hospital, I know."
At the restaurant table, the three of them were drinking porridge together, Uncle Li said with a smile.
"Liver cancer, the doctor said it was in the early stage. Last week I was working in the fields, and I suddenly felt a stomachache and was sent to the hospital by my neighbor. The stomachache was actually something I ate, but it was found out by the way. I haven't told my son yet. , I came to the city this time, just want to tell them, and then go to the big hospital to check."
Lian Xi clenched the spoon: "Why didn't you tell me."
Uncle Li looked up at him and said subconsciously, "You are not my son."
Even stunned.
Uncle Li continued: "The doctor said that my disease was discovered early, and it's fine. Maybe I go to the big hospital in the city for an examination, and the doctor will cut it directly for me, and I'll be fine."
Even Xi didn't know much about cancer, but he remembered a person. After sending WeChat consultation to the other party, the other party quickly returned a message.
[Wang Zihao: The onset of liver cancer is usually very fast, about two years on average from the early stage to the late stage, but if it is handled well, it is possible to live for more than ten years. What is the specific situation of your relative, please go to our hospital for examination. Ask him to bring all the films taken at the township hospital. This morning, a chief specialist was in the oncology department. Come here at nine o'clock, and I'll get you a number.]
[Lian Xi: Thank you so much!]
Without further ado, after breakfast, Lian Xi immediately took Uncle Li to the park hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, Uncle Li was still a little unhappy: "Oh Xiaolian, why did you ask me to take me to the hospital? I'm here to find my son. I'll just ask my son to take me there."
But Lian Xi shook his head and said, "That specialist is only here this morning for consultation this month, so I'll call your son and ask them to come over."
Uncle Li's expression changed. He said, "Then... OK, I'll call him."
Uncle Li's eldest son drives a long-distance truck. These days, he and his daughter-in-law have gone out of town to run the truck. They are not in Sucheng. His second son, a salesman, gave birth to a grandson and lives in Sioux City High-tech Zone.
However, for some reason, Uncle Li called his second son several times, but no one answered.
At this moment, an intern in a white coat came over. Wang Zihao put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, and handed Lian Xi the expert number he got. His eyes swept away, and suddenly he saw Mr. Gu who was standing beside him with his head down and playing with his mobile phone.
Suddenly, his forehead throbbed with pain, as if something had hit his head hard.
Doctor Wang stroked his forehead strangely.
Strange, why the forehead hurts as soon as I see this man.
Aware of Dr. Wang's gaze, Caochen slowly removed his gaze from the screen of his mobile phone and glanced at him.
Oh, that living soul.
The first "customer" of the White Jade Seal.
