"Grandpa, are you going out?" Moyou, wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket, squatted at the gate and brushed his teeth as usual.

"Well!" Xu Yuanhua put away his mobile phone, his smile was a little forced, "Isn't it a while before the New Year? The money from my previous work has not been paid, so I have to go to someone else's house to ask for it."

Mo You frowned subconsciously when he heard the word "begging". It was obviously money he deserved, but he said it was like someone else's charity.

"If you don't get the money, forget it." Moyou told him, but in his heart he was thinking about what he should do if he really couldn't get the money.

Xu Yuanhua rubbed his hands and smiled honestly, "That's not possible. I also want to buy some new clothes for Nini. It's impossible not to have new clothes during the New Year."

He walked out the door and turned around after taking only two steps, "What food do you want me to bring back later?"

"I want to eat mung bean cake, the kind that comes in small pieces."

"Mung bean cake..." Xu Yuanhua scratched his head, "Okay! I'll go to the supermarket to look for it when I get back."

After watching him leave, Moyou quickly brushed his teeth and went to find the little fat man with his winter vacation homework under his arm.

"Sister, you should write something yourself." The little fat man grabbed his chicken coop-like hair and looked at Moyou with a sad face.

In fact, he wanted to say, sister, don't eat it, the New Year's goods bought by mom and dad will be sold out before the New Year.

Moyou stuffed a whole sugar orange into his mouth and said vaguely, "Stop talking nonsense and write quickly! Remember, you are not allowed to tell anything when grandpa comes back later."

The little fat man was about to cry but Xu Qingyun, who was video chatting with him, was giggling with joy.

"Tell me what you don't know. My time is very precious."

"Oh." The little fat man hung his head and asked all the questions he didn't know.

Fortunately, Sister Qingyun and his elder sister are in the same grade, otherwise he would have to run to someone else's house on this cold day.

It’s a new year.Moyou lay on the little fat man's bed, staring at the insects crawling in the lamp in the middle.

It's been a long time since she celebrated the Chinese New Year. She used to be alone, but it's different now. She can also be reunited with her family.

that's nice!

The room was warm, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep due to the warmth.

When I woke up, the little fat man was gone.

Mo You walked out of the room, and the couple who were nesting in the living room were not there either.

She walked out and was about to go back to see if grandpa was back when she turned a corner and bumped into someone strolling around the village.

The man looked at her curiously, "Pan girl, why didn't you go?"

Mo You was also curious, "Where to go?"

It turns out that he didn’t know. The man said directly, “Uncle Yuanhua asked for money and was beaten. He was sent to the hospital before, and Chang Lin and the others went there.”

"What did you say!" Moyou grabbed him suddenly, "Which hospital are you in?"

The man's hand hurt from being grabbed, and his tone was a little impatient, "It's the County People's Hospital."

Mo You let go of him and quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket, but his hands were so weak that he couldn't open it.

After taking a few deep breaths, she finally calmed down. She found the van driver in her village and messaged him, asking him to come and take her to the hospital.

She was restless along the way. When she arrived at the hospital, she asked about Xu Yuanhua's ward and ran directly there.

Unexpectedly, they saw Xu Changlin and his wife at the door.

"Why didn't you tell me something happened to grandpa!" Mo You angrily swung his fist and tried to hit him.

"I didn't let them say it!" Xu Yuanhua said anxiously in the ward. After he finished speaking, he coughed heavily a few times.

Xu Changlin did not block him from the beginning to the end. He stood outside the ward, without his usual air, leaning against the wall with his back slightly hunched.

Mo You pushed the door open and saw Xu Yuanhua lying on the hospital bed, smiling at her.

She stepped forward and held Xu Yuanhua's exposed hand, "I want to kill him."

Xu Yuanhua held her hand instead, "I won't let them tell you, just because I don't want you to act impulsively."

"Grandpa didn't ask for the money, nor did he buy the mung bean cake." He choked and said, looking at Moyou unblinkingly with his cloudy eyes.

"But Nini, it doesn't matter. We can still have a good year."

His hand unconsciously strengthened, and when he said to Moyou, he seemed to be saying to himself, "When I get better, we will go home, and grandpa will set off fireworks for Nini."

Moyou looked at him and said nothing, but quietly scratched the palm of his hand with his other hand.

After a long time, when Xu Yuanhua had no hope, she spit out the word "good" from her throat.

In the next few days, she stayed in front of the ward, taking care of Xu Yuanhua.

At first, Xu Yuanhua thought she couldn't take care of others, but when he saw her busy, he felt that she had done these things thousands of times.

It was as if she had been sitting on a small chair next to the hospital bed, waiting for another person to recover.

Although her behavior was as usual, Xu Yuanhua felt deeply anxious and afraid, which made him even more afraid to tell her the truth.

"Why are you avoiding me?" Moyou rubbed the smooth apple in his hand.

"Why did the doctor kick me out when he came in to discuss the condition with you?"

She looked up, and her eyes were completely green and black, and the apple in her hand was left with finger prints one by one.

"What are you hiding from me?"

Xu Yuanhua sighed, covered his head with the quilt as if to escape, and said in a low voice, "I'm fine, Nini, don't ask any more questions."

He waited in the quilt for a long time, listening to Moyou's breathing gradually becoming calmer.

"Boom!" The rotten apple was thrown into the basket, and Moyou turned around and went out.

Xu Yuanhua pulled down the quilt and looked at the crushed apple, feeling bitter in his heart.

The door was clicked, Xu Changlin shouted and opened the door with his rice bowl.

When he opened the door and saw Moyou, he wanted to close it again.

Mo You kicked the door wide open, and then kicked it hard several times, which seemed to vent his anger.

"What happened to grandpa?" She looked at Xu Changlin sinisterly, making Xu Changlin tremble all over.

Sometimes he really wonders, would a child under ten years old have this kind of look?

"If you don't tell me, I will take a knife and stab you all to death while you are sleeping at night!"

Seeing her threatening look, Xu Changlin felt a little angry for no reason in his heart. He threw the bowls and chopsticks in his hands on the ground, breaking the jars and smashing them all.

"My dad is sick. It's a serious illness. He can't be cured and has to rely on medicine to hang him up!"

Moyou was stunned for a moment, and then asked anxiously, "What's the disease? Is he being treated?"

Xu Changlin smiled coldly, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself or not worrying, "So what if you know what the disease is? Do you think your family can still afford to treat him?"

"Do you know how much money you lost because of what you did? Your family is completely empty and you have no money!"

He rubbed his brows tiredly and turned back to the house.

"Forget it, he gave up himself."
