Ruan Mingchi is not.
He pursed his lips, got up suddenly, and rushed out of the door quickly, into the darkness.
Both Ji Hao and Ruan's father knew what Ruan Mingchi was doing, but no one stopped him.
One was determined to let him learn a lesson, and the other was secretly thinking about getting a little back.
Soon, a man's loud voice came from the next door.
"Money? What money? I've taken care of you all these years, and it didn't cost me to take care of your father?"
Ruan Mingchi couldn't hear what he said.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the second uncle yelling: "I didn't buy your dad's clothes? We didn't send the food your dad ate? I didn't sell those things your dad made up? I go out at five o'clock in the morning in winter. Selling it in the streets and alleys, did I tell you that I got chilblains on my hands? Did I ask you for a penny?"
Ruan Mingchi: "..."
"You ask me for money now? Let me tell you, Ruan Mingchi, the money is with me, but I have already used it. What can you do?"
Using both hands, Ji Hao helped Father Ruan up from the ground, carried him into the back room and put him on the bed. The man with a miserable face seemed ashamed to face everything in front of him, turning his back to Ji Hao.
Ji Hao listened to the movement outside, turned around and walked out.
He walked out of the yard and stood outside the door watching silently. The lights in the yard illuminated half of his face, while the other half was hidden in darkness, his eyes were dark and deep.
The boy under the moon faced his childhood nightmare again, but within a month, his back straightened and he gained a little more confidence to face it bravely.
Ruan Mingchi said, "My dad is sick and needs to go to the hospital."
Uncle Ruan stood with his hips akimbo at the door of his house, with the posture of a shrew cursing the street, rolled up his arms and sleeves, waved away the wife who was pulling him behind him, pointed to Ruan Mingchi's nose and said, "I don't want to say it if I don't mention it, Yueyue Sickness, sickness every day, coughing and fever at every turn, and the little money he makes for weaving bamboo every month, if we didn’t subsidize the money, would he survive?”
"Enough." Ruan Mingchi affirmed, "The subsistence allowance and disability insurance are enough."
"..." The second uncle felt guilty for a moment, and then became angry again, raising his hand up, "I say it's not enough! Eh, what are you doing? You're rebelling!"
Before the second uncle's hand could be swung out, Ruan Mingchi, who took a step forward, grabbed his hand and squeezed his hand like iron tongs. The second uncle's expression changed suddenly, and he couldn't struggle.
When the second uncle looked at Ruan Mingchi again, his eyes changed.
This... This kid, when did he grow so tall? Tall ones need to raise their heads to see their faces clearly
Ruan Mingchi pursed the corner of his mouth, the first counterattack made his breath unsteady, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Sixty thousand! You take it! But you have to keep some of the life-saving money! Second uncle."
He gritted his teeth for the last two words, and because of the extremely close distance, Second Uncle Ruan almost suspected that if he didn't nod, the flesh on his neck would be torn off by Ruan Mingchi.
This is the same thing in fighting, whoever is ruthless wins.
As they looked at each other, Second Uncle Ruan's eyes softened, he was afraid and hid.
For the first time, Ruan Mingchi was clearly aware of the changes in the identities of both parties.
The strong and irresistible man back then is already old.
Do not bully young people to be poor.
Ji Hao watched from outside the door, changed his posture, with a half-smile on the corner of his mouth, watching with great interest and emotion.
When Ruan Mingchi pushed Second Uncle Ruan away for the last time, he just avoided the other's angry foot, and the man staggered backwards and bumped into his wife. After an awkward silence, Second Uncle Ruan suddenly rubbed his waist and wailed: "Oh my! Waist! Unfilial! White-eyed wolf!"
The second aunt put her arms around her man and said in a low voice: "Brother is sick and needs money..."
"My waist is broken, the white-eyed wolf hit me, you didn't see it!" Second Uncle Ruan yelled at his wife.
The second aunt closed her mouth, and gave Ruan Mingchi a guilty look.
The money was never returned.
The money that went into other people's pockets has been taken for granted by others as their own. Second Uncle Ruan supported his waist and closed the door cursing.
Ruan Mingchi was almost slapped on the face by the door.
In terms of the thickness of his skin, Ruan Mingchi was far behind.
The figure of Ruan Mingchi who turned around and walked back was indescribably depressed. Ji Hao adjusted his expression and walked forward, saying, "Uncle's illness can't be delayed. I have money here, so I'll see the doctor first."
Ruan Mingchi looked at him deeply, and finally let out an inaudible "hmm".
The Ruan family was very quiet at night.
Ruan's father hasn't appeared since he lay down on the bed, only coughing from time to time from outside the air leaking door, which proves that he is tossing and turning.
Ji Hao and Ruan Mingchi ate instant noodles and went to bed at nine o'clock.
Ruan Mingchi's bed is actually not too small. It was a self-built house in the countryside. At that time, Ruan's father had a happy family and good health, so he was full of hope in his future life planning. Ruan Mingchi had his own room and a spacious bed. Very tidy and clean, north-south ventilation.
However, there is no furniture, and at a glance, there is a kind of bleakness of the house.
Ji Hao went to bed, slept outside, lay down and played with his mobile phone for a while, the people behind him hadn't moved, and it was ten o'clock in a blink of an eye, and he turned off his mobile phone.
In the darkness, Ji Hao changed two positions, suddenly stretched out his hand, and hugged the person next to him, so frightened that Ruan Mingchi, who had not slept all this time, trembled and became stiff all over.
Ji Hao patted him on the back and said, "Cry if you want to, don't hold back."
"..."
"The national champion may become the world champion in the future. Sooner or later you will get out of here, and you will only live better."
"..."
"Xiao Xian'er, I am very good. If you win the national championship, I can do it. If you win the world championship, I can do it too. I will always be with you."
Ruan Mingchi didn't speak all the time, but Ji Hao was satisfied with his slowly relaxing body and the relying posture that unconsciously leaned on Ji Hao after falling asleep.
Master-student relationship, friendship, and brotherhood have already given Ruan Xiaoxian a lot of love, family relationship is actually not too much trouble, the rest is just love.
Ji Hao lay on his back on the bed, turned his head to look at the young man with his forehead resting on his shoulder in the moonlight, and thought casually, what kind of girl is suitable for Ruan Mingchi... "Qinstring" is too weak, and needs gentle, strong and tolerant Only love can make him have a strong feeling of being loved, and only then can he be nourished and repaired... so it is better to choose carefully.
…
The next day, Ji Hao called a car at the entrance of the village and took the Ruan family father and son to the city hospital. The examination lasted for one day.
Ruan's father is really not in good health, with minor ailments constantly. Yesterday he was furious again, and today he developed pneumonia and gastric ulcer, and was admitted to the hospital.
Ruan Mingchi stayed in the hospital to take care of him, and Ji Hao also stayed with him. In the evening, he and Ruan Mingchi found a chair and fell asleep in the hospital.
Ji Hao didn't find it hard, he was where Ruan Xiaoxian was, and taking care of Ruan Xiaoxian was the reason for his existence in this world. But Ruan Mingchi was so embarrassed, he finally looked at Ji Hao with soft eyes.
The old man in the next bed is chronically ill, and he goes home to sleep at night. When he came the next day and saw the two young men still with him, he felt envious, "Oh, fellow, your two sons are too filial. Every time the children are sick, they just call and it’s over. I guess if it weren’t for the dying illness, they wouldn’t come back. Do you think what I’m missing is money? What I’m missing is the heart to ask for warmth.”
Ruan's father lived in the hospital for a whole day, seeing that the ground was recovering. Looking at Ruan Mingchi who had just returned from collecting water, the expression in his eyes changed a little, and the corners of his mouth smiled a little: "This is my son, and that is his teammate."
"Teammate? What teammates?"
"From the swimming team."
"Swimming team?"
"The provincial swimming team lives on campus in City C."
"Hey, let me tell you why these two guys are so tall, tall and handsome. They are the most beautiful young dolls I have ever seen in my life. They are athletes!"
"Yeah." Ruan's father moved his lips and smiled shyly, "I won the first place in the competition a few days ago, nationally."
"Oh! This is amazing!" The old man slapped his thigh, happier than Ruan's father, he opened his mouth, and the conversation couldn't stop, even the other patients in the same room looked up, you asked me every word boast.
Ruan Mingchi put the basin back on the hospital bed, and when he stood up again, his ears were a little red. He saw the rare smile on Ruan's father's face when the haze was gone, and a smile appeared on his face.
Ji Hao sat sideways on the armchair, hooked Ruan Mingchi with his hand on the back of the chair, and when he was waiting for someone to come over, he said, "Our dad should come out more often, right, such a good-looking guy Big babies should show off everywhere."
Ruan Mingchi stared at him blankly, and when he wanted to understand who the "big baby" was, the blood instantly spread from the pinnae to the face, and finally spread along the neck all the way to the depth of the neckline.
Ruan's father recovered well, but the key point was that he was afraid of spending money. He wanted to be discharged from the hospital on the third day. In the end, the old man next door was able to persuade him. In the end, he used the medicine on the fourth day before going through the discharge procedures. .
After lunch, they returned to the village.
Niu Wu, who lives at the end of the village, had a full meal and went to buy peanuts at the canteen at the head of the village. He happened to see a man who had just gotten out of the car and said, "Where did you go, Boss Ruan? You bought a lot of things in big and small bags? It’s been pretty good lately." , I heard that Ming Chi won a championship, made a lot of money, right?"
It's quite a normal sentence, but some people have the ability to say it in a weird way.
Ruan's father had finally opened up his mood these few days, and it was gone soon.
When Niu Wu arrived at the canteen, he saw all the chatterers on weekdays, so he immediately sat down and shared his experience, and then said: "Why did you win the first place, but didn't see any money, and went to the construction site for nothing? You can earn three to five thousand a month just by working."
"My eldest nephew bought an excavator certificate some time ago and went to work on the construction site. I heard that there is this amount in a month."
"How much? Six thousand? Does the excavator earn so much?"
"So, Ruan Er, don't turn evil into evil, but what he said is not bad. Learning to swim can only cost money. When did you take money from home? Now what kind of work is it? It's not a few thousand dollars. ? His father looks like that, just leave it at home, let alone win the national championship, so what if he wins the world championship?"
Niu Wu crossed his legs and drank tea with a plate of peanuts in front of him. He listened with gusto, and before he knew it, it was afternoon.
A voice came from behind: "Did Ruan go home?"
Niu Wu turned his head to look, and hurriedly stood up: "The village chief."
Everyone shut up and turned their heads to look over.
The village head is a skinny middle-aged man with a thermos in his hand and a file bag full of documents. He should be going to work.
The village chief stood under the vine trellis, and asked repeatedly: "Ruan Da is back? Where is Ruan Mingchi? Ruan Mingchi is also back?"
"Yeah." Niu Wu nodded, "Why are you asking this? What's wrong with them?"
"Yes!" The village chief raised his voice and said with a bit of pride, "The leaders of the city have called me several times in the past few days, and they said that they would come to visit everyone Ruan to express condolences and give Ming Chi a bonus. !"
Everyone's eyes widened suddenly.
The village chief took out his phone with a smile and said, "Alright, I'll make a call right away."
