Zai Zai Grocery Store

Lin Dong finally pinched a coin, then stood up hugging the pillow, raised his little hand, and held it to He Qingzhang.

This cub is so caring and sensible, He Qingzhang felt sore seeing it.

Lin Dong's voice was gentle: "Uncle, here it is."

He Qingzhang stretched out his big hand.

Lin Dong quickly lowered his head and reached into the small pillow to grab money, grabbed one and put one in He Qingzhang's hand, then grabbed another, and put another, one by one, not letting go of a dime, and finally the pillow was empty , he couldn't take out any more money, so he looked at He Qingzhang and said, "Okay."

He Qingzhang asked: "Give it all to me?"

Lin Dong nodded.

"Do you treat your aunt?"

"Ah."

"You don't want a dime anymore."

"No, I want my aunt to get well soon."

He Qingzhang couldn't help squatting down, looking at Lin Dong at the same level, looking at Lin Dong's clear and bright eyes, he suddenly felt guilty because of his dislike for Lin Dong at first, yes, a child like Lin Dong with a pure, kind and warm heart , is worthy of being liked by everyone. He knew Lin Dong's inner sensitivity, so he temporarily took Lin Dong's money and said softly, "Dongdong, thank you uncle, aunt will be well soon."

Lin Dong nodded.

"So nice."

He Qingzhang reached out to touch Lin Dong's small head, Lin Dong raised his eyes and said, "Uncle, I want to see my aunt."

He Qingzhang said, "You can't go today."

"why?"

"Because my aunt is still lying on the bed and can't take care of you."

Lin Dong hurriedly said, "I will take care of my aunt."

He Qingzhang smiled, touched Lin Dong's soft hair, he couldn't help but speak more gently when he met Lin Dong, and said: "No, there are many people in the hospital, and it is very inconvenient for you as a child. Stay in the hospital for a few days and come back, okay?"

Lin Dong thought for a while and nodded.

"Then you and Xiaochuan will sleep at Xiaojun's house these few nights?"

"I don't sleep at Xiaojun's house, I sleep at Xinghe's house."

"Oh yes, both Xiaojun and Qiqi went back to the countryside with their parents to celebrate the New Year, so you can sleep at Xinghe's house. I'll go and tell Xinghe's parents, don't be too naughty, you know?"

Lin Dong nodded.

He Qingzhang continued to stand up, packed his clothes and money, and told Lin Dong and He Xiaochuan some precautions, closed the grocery store for a week, took Lin Dong and He Xiaochuan to Mu Xinghe's house, and told Mu Huaian and his wife about Lin Lihua The situation, asked the two to take care of Lin Dong and He Xiaochuan for two days, and then went to the hospital with the package.

Lin Dong and He Xiaochuan lived in Mu Xinghe's house, and they ate, slept, and watched TV with Mu Xinghe for two days. Mu Xinghe's family was going out of town to pay New Year's greetings, so Mu Huai'an sent Lin Dong to Grandpa Wang's house. Two days later, a large number of neighbors from Grandpa Wang’s house came to celebrate the New Year, and Lin Dong and Lin Dong went to Zhang Dazhu’s house to sleep for another night.

After wandering around four or five houses, Mu Xinghe's family finally came back from New Year's greetings. Mu Huaian and Mu Xinghe went to several houses before finding Lin Dong and Lin Dong. Mu Xinghe took Lin Dong's hand and asked, "Why did you go to Aunt Li's house?" gone?"

Lin Dong replied: "Because Grandpa Zhang is going to the city today, he doesn't have time to cook for us."

Mu Xinghe asked again: "Is your aunt also in the city?"

Lin Dong nodded: "Yeah."

"Then your aunt is coming back soon?"

"Well, my uncle comes back to see Xiao Chuan and me every day. My uncle said that my aunt will be back in two days."

"Then what's wrong with your aunt?"

"Uncle said it was appendicitis, acute."

"What does appendicitis mean?" Mu Xinghe didn't understand.

Lin Dong shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Mu Huai'an on the side said, "It's just a disease."

Lin Dong nodded.

Mu Xinghe didn't ask any more questions.

Mu Huai'an brought the three children home, and after washing their hands and feet, he urged them to lie down in bed, not allowing them to play around, and let them go to bed quickly, then went back to the living room and talked about Lin Lihua with Xinghe's mother Case.

"Do you know how Lihua is?" Xinghe's mother asked.

"Still in the hospital." Mu Huaian replied.

"Then what's wrong with Lin Lihua?"

"Lin Dong said it was acute appendicitis."

"Ah, do you need an operation then?"

"Well, let's do the surgery."

"That's a pain. I heard that you can't even eat, it will hurt."

"Well, it's quite a pain."

"Hey, is Lin Dong Xiaochuan asleep?"

"Still in bed, should be sleeping."

"..."

In fact, Lin Dong, He Xiaochuan and Mu Xinghe's three children were not asleep, and were lying on the bed listening to the adults. After listening, the three children looked at each other, and He Xiaochuan asked, "What does it mean to have surgery?"

Mu Xinghe looked at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong was frightened. He made up the meaning of "surgery" in his own brain. All he could think of was the pain. How painful it was after the surgery, how painful it was for his aunt. Talking, lying on the bed looking at Fang Liang, thinking about my aunt for a long time.

"Dongdong." Mu Xinghe shouted.

Lin Dong responded, "Yes."

"Why don't you close your eyes and sleep?"

"I miss my aunt."

"Your aunt will be back in two days."

"But she had an operation, and it hurt so much."

"It doesn't hurt, it has anesthesia." Mu Xinghe said.

"What is anesthesia?"

"Anesthesia is just..." Mu Xinghe's understanding of anesthesia was also hearsay, and he couldn't understand it when asked to explain, so he explained to Lin Dong while thinking: "It's a medicine that doesn't hurt. If your aunt uses it, it won't hurt." It will hurt!"

"Really? Does my aunt really not hurt?"

"Really, and your aunt will recover soon, I won't lie to you." Mu Xinghe swore, "I won't lie to you in the future either!"

Lin Dong immediately believed it, and felt less uncomfortable in an instant. He lay on the bed with Mu Xinghe and looked at the starry sky outside the window, but there was not a single star in the splash-ink starry sky. Mu Xinghe said, "There are no stars in the sky today."

Lin Dong said, "Well, because it's cold."

"Are there no stars when it's cold?"

"Well, it's cold, and the stars are also afraid of the cold. If they are afraid of the cold, they go home and sleep, and don't come out."

Mu Xinghe turned his head and asked, "Are you cold?"

Lin Dong said, "I'm not cold."

"You will be cold in a while, come and sleep with me under the quilt."

"it is good."

Lin Dong got into Mu Xinghe's bed, and the two children lay down together and looked at the sky with their little faces in their hands. They watched the two fall asleep on the bed. The next morning, the three children hadn't woken up yet. Qiqi and Jiang Xiaojun, who spent the Chinese New Year in the countryside, came back and came to the bed of the three of them, shouting loudly together: "Xinghe! Lin Dong! Xiaochuan!"

The three of Lin Dong woke up with a fright, and were stunned when they saw Qiqi.

He Xiaochuan said: "Qiqi, why are you getting fat?"

Qiqi has indeed gained weight, and her chubby little face has become even more fleshy. Qiqi replied honestly: I eat too much. ""

"what are you eating?"

"Meat, a lot of meat, and a lot of cakes, delicious."

As soon as Qiqi finished speaking, he saw Lin Dong rubbing his eyes and getting up from the bed. His white and tender face was very beautiful. Qiqi hadn't seen Lin Dong for a long time. He happily called out "Lin Dong" and immediately He jumped up and hugged Lin Dong, but Mu Xinghe tore him away just as he hugged him. He turned his head and looked at Mu Xinghe and hurriedly covered Lin Dong with a quilt so that he would not get sick from the cold. He stopped hugging Lin Dong, but He leaned against the bed and said, "Lin Dong, are you awake?"

"En." Lin Dongweng responded angrily.

"Then why don't you get up? Get up and let's go play!"

"I can't wear thick clothes by myself, so I need Aunt Mu to wear them for me."

Qiqi took the initiative and said, "I'll wear it for you."

"The clothes are too thick for you to wear."

"Okay then, I'll call Xinghe's mother for you."

After Qiqi finished speaking, he ran out to call Xinghe's mother. After a while, Mu's mother came over to dress Lin Dong, touched Lin Dong's small arm and said, "Hey, Xiao Lindong has grown flesh?"

Lin Dong nodded: "I eat a lot every day."

"Have you grown flesh? Let me feel it." Mu Xinghe stretched out his hand and pinched it.

When He Xiaochuan saw it, he also stretched out his hand to pinch it.

"I squeeze too." Kiki also pinched.

Jiang Xiaojun pinched too.

The four children happily pinched Lin Dong's thin arms. Not only did Lin Dong not hate them, but he stretched out his arms happily for them to pinch. After putting on his clothes, he said, "My aunt and uncle also said that I Meaty."

"It looks good when it grows flesh," Qiqi said.

Lin Dong nodded.

Qiqi thought that Lin Dong recognized his good looks, so he was very happy. He and Jiang Xiaojun hadn’t seen Lin Dong and others for a long time, and felt very happy. They kept playing with Lin Dong and the three of them until evening. They all went home and prepared to eat. Lin Donghe Xiaochuan followed Mu Xinghe to Mu Xinghe's house for dinner. After dinner, the three of them sat in front of the TV and watched He Qingzhang come over.

"uncle!"

"father!"

Lin Dong and He Xiaochuan shouted together.

He Qingzhang responded and chatted with Mu Huai'an. Lin Dong stood beside He Qingzhang's legs and anxiously tugged on He Qingzhang's clothes. He Qingzhang lowered his head and asked, "Dongdong, what's wrong?"

Lin Dong asked again what he always asks: "Has my aunt come back?"

"I'm back." He Qingzhang said.

"Where?"

"at home."

"I'm going to find my aunt!"

"Go."

Lin Dong said to Mu Xinghe, "Xinghe, I went to find my aunt", and then ran quickly towards the grocery store with his short legs. Town, Lin Dong was running in it, he hadn’t seen his aunt for seven or eight days, his heart was full of excitement, he kept running into the grocery store, running towards the backyard, shouting, “Auntie, Auntie!”

"Dongdong." A faint voice came from the room: "Here it is."

Lin Dong ran into his aunt's room when he heard the sound, and was stunned immediately when he saw her lying on the bed. In his impression, her skin was slightly dark, but her body was strong and full of strength, and she could hold up the sky above his head. In the past, my aunt would be pale, thin, and haggard. It seemed that he didn't know her anymore.

"Dongdong." Lin Lihua shouted.

Lin Dong stared blankly at Lin Lihua.

Lin Lihua smiled weakly and said, "What's the matter, don't you know your aunt?"

Lin Dong didn't move, but still looked straight at Lin Lihua.

"Come here, let Auntie see you."

Lin Dong walked slowly to Lin Lihua with small steps. Lin Lihua reached out to touch Lin Dong's little face. With the familiar temperature and familiar voice, Lin Dong found the familiar aunt. This was his aunt. His aunt was sick. He My aunt lost weight, and it was all due to Uncle Ogawa. He was so sad, he curled his lips uncontrollably, tears fell down, and made a whining sound.

Lin Lihua asked in surprise: "What's wrong, why are you crying?"

Lin Dong cried and said inarticulately, "I, I will wash him!"
