Back to 1988

Seeing that he was still standing there in the wet, Old Man Bai urged, "What are you doing stupidly, go change your clothes quickly, and be careful of catching a cold." He looked at Mi Yang who was following behind, and said distressedly, "What's the big deal? Isn't it just Wu Le's temper, let it stay here, you two go upstairs to take a hot bath, and go to bed quickly."

Bai Luochuan nodded and said, "I'll come back later."

Old Man Bai waved his hand at him, and told him, "Don't come, you go to sleep in your own place."

Bai Luochuan looked at him and called Grandpa again, not really wanting to leave, Bai Lao was overjoyed, and said to him: "I have nothing to worry about, just go up."

Only then did Bai Luochuan go upstairs, he and Mi Yang took a hot shower, and stayed at the old house to sleep again.

Bai Luochuan didn't sleep well, so he quietly went downstairs to check after a while. The old man slept well at night and didn't cough again.

It's okay for Bai Luochuan to be drenched in the rain, and Mi Yang has a slight cold. After being seen by the doctor of the Bai family, he prescribed some medicine to take home.

Bai Luochuan asked him to stay and take care of him, but Mi Yang refused with a smile: "Farewell, I'm afraid of this infection, you take good care of grandpa first, I'll come back after taking medicine for two days and recovering."

Bai Luochuan thought for a while, and could only nod his head in agreement.

He stayed in the old house for a few days and has been observing Bai Lao's diet, but this time before he said a word, the family doctor who stood by stood aside and explained: "The old man is taking traditional Chinese medicine, and some conflict with each other. It’s not very good, just eat lightly like this.”

Bai Luochuan nodded, without further pressing.

Bai Lao ate very little, especially at night it was rare to swallow a few mouthfuls of food, Bai Luochuan saw that he was eating reluctantly, so he found an excuse to go out to play with other children in Shanhai Town, leaving room for the old man.

What he said was not false, he went to find the brothers of the Zhao family.

The two brothers of the Zhao family have lived in the area for many years, especially Zhao Haisheng, whose relatives are all here, and they can basically inquire about any news.

When Bai Luochuan came to ask him, he thought for a while before saying: "Gas station? There are only two gas stations in the town. I'll ask."

Zhao Haisheng called, and Fu Qisheng standing next to him was wearing an old overalls and his pants were stained with white lime, but he still stood upright. He usually doesn't talk much, but he observes carefully, so he said to Bai Luochuan: "You The car at home can only go to the gas station at Fuqian intersection. The oil there is good and will not damage the engine. As for when to refuel, I have to wait for my brother to call and ask. We went there to work during the winter vacation. can be asked."

Bai Luochuan nodded and said, "Thank you."

Fu Qisheng said: "Why don't you ask the driver at home? He should know better."

Bai Luochuan glanced at him, and said, "Don't worry, it's not the driver's problem, it's just that the old man at home has something he doesn't want to talk about, so it's not easy for me to ask in person."

Fu Qisheng was taken aback for a moment, and said sorry to him in a low voice. His mother worked there, so he was familiar with the people who worked in the old house, so he tentatively asked a question.

Bai Luochuan waved his hand, and said, "It's okay for you to ask, but don't tell other people about me, I just want to find out where they have been."

Fu Qisheng responded.

After a while, Zhao Haisheng also asked. There are few people in the town, and there are only a few good cars in total. The car and driver of the old Bai family house have been used for many years, and everyone recognizes them, so they quickly asked.I didn't go to any special place, just like Bai Lao said, I went to the provincial capital hospital, the only strange thing is that I have to go there once every other month, it's not like seeing a doctor, but like a treatment.

Zhao Haisheng said: "Today is, exactly, the day when we should go to refuel. As usual, we have already gone to the provincial capital."

Bai Luochuan frowned, thought for a while, and said to them: "I see, please help me to inquire further, and let me know if you have any other news."

Zhao Haisheng nodded in agreement.

Bai Luochuan was worried, so he called the secretary of Luo Jiangjing's company. Bai Jingrong was busy with his career in the army, and Luo Jiangjing took care of all the big and small things at home. Bai Lao's medical report would be kept with her every year.The secretary heard that he was looking for it, and found it quickly. He took a photo and sent it as he said, but there was nothing strange about it.

The secretary said to him: "We have been paying attention to Bailao's body. There is nothing abnormal. The report is the same as every year."

Bai Luochuan frowned and looked at her for a while, then said to her, "I see."

He didn't find any problems for the time being, and put his heart back a little bit.

Mi Yang's cold is still not healed, but it's not particularly serious, but his throat is a little sore.Mrs. Cheng picked a handful of bitter vegetables from the yard and gave him to eat. This is the local name, but they are actually dandelions.Eating this food can clear away heat and reduce fire, and it also has a detoxifying effect. Generally, the elderly at home will pick some to eat when they are sick and have a sore throat. They usually eat a lot of dipping sauce in summer.

Mi Yang took a bitter vegetable leaf and was sitting there chewing dryly. When he looked down at the pages of the book, his mouth moved. With a warm smile, he walked over and pulled the vegetable leaves around his mouth and asked, "How do you eat this?"

While eating, Mi Yang said: "My grandma gave it to me. It's not bad anyway."

Bai Luochuan reached out and touched his forehead again, feeling a little hot and frowned, "It's not good yet."

Mi Yang smiled and said, "It will be fine in two days."

Bai Luochuan didn't really believe his words, "Bring me the thermometer."

Mi Yang said: "It's really fine, even a low-grade fever is not considered..." Bai Luochuan insisted, he could only go and get the thermometer and measure it for him to see, but it was just like what he said, more than 37°, slightly hot .

Bai Luochuan said: "I'll give you another day. If you're not well tomorrow morning, you have to come over for an injection. I'll ask the doctor to prepare it in advance."

Mi Yang opened his mouth to speak, and the old lady Cheng who brought the fruit beside him also chimed in: "Luo Chuan is right, if you want me to say, you should get an injection."

Bai Luochuan nodded and said, "Grandma, I'll call you tomorrow morning, and you told me the temperature, I don't believe him."

Mrs. Cheng thought it was right, and readily accepted the task.

Bai Luochuan sat at Mi Yang's house until after nine o'clock in the evening, and then went back.

Mi Yang sent him to the door, and asked him in a low voice, "How is grandpa going?"

Bai Luochuan didn't answer and asked instead: "You also think he's hiding something, don't you?"

Mi Yang nodded. He only knew that Bai Lao had been in poor health for the past two years, but he didn't know what the specific illness was. He didn't have a deep friendship with Bai Luochuan in school. When he met him again after graduation, Bai Lao had already passed away. , I heard that after more than a year of treatment in the capital, he still couldn't hold on, and his ashes were left in Babaoshan Cemetery.

Now it is two years earlier than before, so naturally he can't miss this opportunity. Mi Yang reminded him: "Ask Aunt Luo, it's not a trivial matter for Grandpa Bai to be sick at this age, maybe Aunt Luo can find out something."

Bai Luochuan nodded and said, "I know."

It was getting late, and the street lights on the path outside were dim, so he couldn't see anything clearly. He wanted to come over and kiss Mi Yang, but the one he kissed was the back of his hand.Mi Yang covered his mouth and shook his head, whispered: "I have a cold, don't infect it to you."

Bai Luochuan kissed the back of his hand twice, "Get well soon."

Mi Yang still didn't get better.Bai Luochuan talked on the phone with Mrs. Cheng early in the morning, and the old lady betrayed Mi Yang without hesitation, "The body temperature was a little higher in the morning, and he coughed at night!"

Bai Luochuan called him on the phone with a hoarse voice just waking up: "Little boy——"

The warning in his tone was too strong, so Mi Yang could only raise his hands in surrender: "Understood, I'll go there now."

Over there, Bai Luochuan was still asking Mrs. Cheng about his cough yesterday. It's rare that he got up early and didn't have a temper. His attitude towards his elders was gentle and polite, which was completely different from that of the young master in normal times.

After Mi Yang got dressed, he went to the Bai family's old house by himself.

When he arrived, the doctor was already waiting for him and took him to a simple infirmary converted from a room on the first floor.The doctor was quick, took out the needle and medicine, and said to him: "Take off your pants and lie on the small bed by yourself."

Mi Yang was stunned for a moment: "A small injection?"

The doctor nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, you are still as afraid of pain as you were when you were a child, right? You cried a lot when you were a child."

The doctor has been following Bai Lao, almost watching Mi Yang and Bai Luochuan grow up. He has given them both injections since they were young, and knows their personalities well.Bai Luochuan cried before beating, and the two adults could start a fight when they pressed the button, but nothing happened when they were really beating, and he never cried when he was a little older, as if the pain was not a big deal; Mi Yang was different, he was well-behaved and sensible when he was young , I never need to press the injection, I took off my pants and lay there tremblingly to finish the injection, with two bags of tears in my eyes and thanked the doctor, I got better when I was older, but I was still forced out of my physiology Sexual tears can't be considered crying, at most it's just a little wet eyelashes.

When Mi Yang was lying there for the doctor to give an injection, Bai Luochuan just came in and stood aside.

The doctor acted quickly, and went out to get the medicine after giving him the shot.

Mi Yang was lying there about to get up, but Bai Luochuan walked over, reached out to help him press the alcohol cotton ball, and said, "Don't move, it's bleeding."

Mi Yang hissed: "No, just let go."

Bai Luochuan didn't let go, so Mi Yang had no choice but to lie there.

The doctor came in with the medicine, and Bai Luochuan lifted Mi Yang's trousers up with one hand, but his hand was still there to hold him down. Fortunately, he was wearing sports pants, which were loose, and they bulged up a bit when they were propped up.

The doctor saw it and smiled and said, "It hurts, right? This normal adult is grinning in pain. Yang Yang is already doing very well."

Bai Luochuan nodded, looked at the medicine in his hand again, and asked, "It seems that there is one box less than before."

"Yes, andrographis is too bitter, and usually you can't drink it. It happens that there is also an injection, so I added it to the medicine and gave him an injection." The doctor wrote down the number of times he took it every day on the medicine box, and said to Mi Yang , "Go back and apply heat to the injection site, let the medicine absorb, it will be better soon."

Mi Yang nodded. After the doctor left, he was still lying on his stomach on the small bed. With one hand still pressed in his trousers, Bai Luochuan touched his forehead with the other hand, feeling a fine layer of sweat, and asked him: : "It still hurts?"

Mi Yang whispered: "It's a little bit, just lie down for a while."

Bai Luochuan touched it, and the medicine didn't disperse, it felt like a hard lump, Mi Yang trembled with pain when he exerted a little force, he went to get a hot towel and warmed him up.

Mi Yang couldn't protest, so he could only lie there and wait for the swelling to subside slowly, and whispered to him: "Actually, I can go to the hospital by myself."

Bai Luochuan sat aside and said, "It's more convenient at home."

Mi Yang thought for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid I'll infect Grandpa Bai."

Bai Luochuan laughed, bent down and kissed him: "No, grandpa moved to live in a small building next to him. He said that an old friend came over two days ago. It's taller over there, and it's just right to enjoy the lotus."

Even though he said so, Mi Yang still didn't stay, Bai Luochuan went to see him off, and told him at the door: "Remember to get another injection tomorrow."

Mi Yang nodded in agreement, and he rode out for a while, Bai Luochuan was still standing at the door watching, but this time he didn't catch up, and stayed alone in the old Bai family house.

A few days later, Mr. Bai's guests also arrived.

A few black high-end cars came, and after they stopped at the door, someone helped an old man down, and the two or three people behind him looked about 40 or [-] years old, all dressed in suits and leather ties, looking gentle but Acting very cautiously, these people still carried black briefcases in their hands, and hurried to the small building where Bai Lao lived.

Bai Luochuan stood in front of the window and took a look, then went back to his room without asking any further questions.

Those people stayed with Mr. Bai for an afternoon, and when it was evening, the phone in Bai Luochuan's room rang, and the old house was connected to an internal line, so it was convenient for the old man to call someone. Bai Luochuan also installed one in his room.He picked it up, and sure enough, Bai Lao's voice came, and the old man said lovingly, "Luo Chuan, come here, I have something to tell you."

Bai Luochuan agreed, dressed and went to find the old man.

The structure of the small buildings on both sides is similar, and the room where the old man lives is still on the first floor. He is whispering to those people in the small living room, and he is still holding a thick document in his hand.When he saw Bai Luochuan arriving, he smiled and let him in, and then turned away the people around him, leaving only a man in a black suit in his forties sitting there.

Bai Luochuan was sitting diagonally across from him. Bai Lao glanced at him, beckoned him to sit up a little bit, and said with a smile, "Come on, Grandpa has something for you."

Bai Luochuan got up and went to Bailao's side. The old man gave him the seat next to him, patted his hand and said to him, "Luochuan, you are sixteen this year, you have been admitted to university, and you are very promising. Grandpa think about it." Go, it just so happens that the lawyer is here today, it's better to give these to you in advance."

Bai Luochuan frowned, and when he was about to speak, Elder Bai patted his arm again. The old man showed his usual calm expression, and showed him the documents: "This is our old house, a few pieces of land, and some antiques. They are all listed on the list, and I can't tell how many there are. Let the lawyer tell you later. When your grandma was still there, she was talking about leaving it to her son and grandson to marry a wife. Your father has lived it for so many years. Very good, I see that he doesn't need these, so I'll give them to you."

The old man has always favored his grandson, and he has been doting on him since he was a child. Now when he looks at Bai Luochuan, his eyes are full of kindness.
