Jiayuan turned to look at her father next to her. Wang Ziwen suppressed a smile and shook his head in cooperation: "I don't have any money either. All our money is with your mother."
Jiayuan and Jiadong turned to look at Li Qin at the same time.
"Why are you asking uncle to see me for asking for red envelopes?"
As soon as Li Qin finished speaking, Ding Qiunan walked out of the room, holding two red envelopes wrapped in red paper, raised them up and said: "I have red envelopes here. I will give them to anyone who wishes me a happy new year."
who."
The two little ones looked at each other and ran over, their aunt and uncle calling out, obviously much sweeter than usual.
The two happily took the red envelope from Ding Qiunan's hand, opened it and saw ten yuan wrapped in it, and jumped there happily.
Li Chu shook his head. They are all people who only care about food but not fights. Have you forgotten where last year's red envelope went?
Li Qin saw that Ding Qiunan had also gotten up, so she washed her hands and went into the kitchen to make dumplings.
After the girl said hello to Wang Ziwen, she also followed in to help her sister.
Seeing Li Qin walking into the kitchen, Li Chu called Jiayuan and Jiadong to him, took out a wad of ten cents from his pants pocket, and gave them ten pieces each.
After Wang Jiayuan took the money, she said: "Uncle, don't you have no money?"
Li Chu looked back at the kitchen, then turned around and touched his niece's hair: "Keep your voice down, you are stupid. If I give you money in front of your mother, can the money still go into your pockets? Forgot.
Where did the old New Year’s money go, right?”
Then he turned to Wang Jiadong and said: "Jiadong, you are the same, you are so old and still stupid."
Jiadong and Jiayuan realized after listening to their uncle's words. Yes, the New Year's money every year ended up in their mother's pocket, and they didn't get a penny.
The two of them looked down at the ten yuan given by their aunt, and suddenly felt that it didn't taste good.
"Okay, hurry up and put the money I gave you, don't let mom find out. Jiadong, go back and take your sister to buy some delicious food."
The two nodded and quickly put the money into their pockets and put them away.
Suddenly, Wang Jiadong and Wang Jiayuan turned to look at Wang Ziwen next to them.
Wang Ziwen had been standing by the side for a long time, watching their little actions without saying a word.
At this time, he saw a pair of children looking at him, smiling and waving their hands: "Don't look at me. I don't care if my uncle gives you money, and I won't tell my mother. If you are discovered by her, there will be nothing you can do."
When the two of them heard that their father would not tell anyone, they felt relieved. As for whether their mother would find out, they would carefully hide it.
Seeing the cautious look of the two people, their eyes were still rolling around, which made Li Chu beside him very happy.
After eating the dumplings, my sister's family went back. Wang Ziwen would take them to pay New Year's greetings to some old leaders.
After sending them away, Li Chu took Ding Qiunan and Xiao Hei out for a walk.
There were almost no people on the street, and the usually crowded department stores were on holiday today. Occasionally, there were a few naughty children setting off firecrackers on the roadside.
The two of them walked slowly like this. As the girl walked, she took out melon seeds and peanut kernels from her pocket and stuffed them into her mouth. Now, whenever Li Chu has nothing to do, he just sits there and peels these things for his wife, letting her put them in her pocket at any time.
All can be eaten.
Every morning and evening, she drinks a cup of prepared milk powder and canned fruit. Ding Qiunan feels that she has gained weight in just a few days, which makes the girl full of happy worries.
After wandering around for a while, the two of them returned home. There was nothing else to do at home. They both went to the study room. The girl continued to memorize the Chinese herbal medicines, and Li Chu also started to organize the third notebook.
The ringing of the phone in the living room broke the tranquility in the study room. Li Chu's heart skipped a beat when he heard the ringing of the phone.
This phone has rarely rang since it was pressed. Why did it ring today?
Li Chu raised his head and looked at the girl. Ding Qiunan happened to look back at him at this time, with a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.
Without thinking much, Li Chu stood up and walked quickly to the living room to answer the phone.
"Is nothing going to happen?" Li Chu muttered to himself.
The voice on the other end of the phone made Li Chu feel a little relieved. It was his brother-in-law calling.
"Xiao Chu, I want to trouble you with something. My leader's son has some physical problems. Can you take a look at it?"
After listening to Wang Ziwen's words, Li Chu felt completely relieved. As long as it was not a matter of his own family, it would not be a big deal. What followed was a headache. This brother-in-law took a job for him on the first day of the new year, and it was really successful.
I was thinking that, but I said: "Okay, brother-in-law, when?"
"The sooner the better, preferably now. Do you think I should send someone to your place, or should you run away?"
So anxious? Li Chu raised his eyebrows. It looked like it was not a problem, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious.
Li Chu thought for a while and decided to go there alone. He didn't like patients to come to his home.
"It's better for me to go there. You tell me the address and I'll ride there."
The place Wang Ziwen was talking about was not far from him. It was a government-run family home in the district.
Li Chu hung up the phone and looked up to see Ding Qiunan standing at the door of the study looking at him with concern.
He smiled at the girl and said, "It's okay, it's my brother-in-law who called me. He wants me to go over and help someone see a doctor."
Ding Qiunan obviously breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not the work of the company. He asked again: "Are you going now?"
Li Chu nodded: "Well, I'll go now and come back after reading it early." After saying that, he walked to the clothes rack and started to put on his cotton-padded jackets and coats.
The girl walked up to him and helped him arrange his clothes: "Slow down on the road and don't be in a hurry."
"I know. When you get hungry later, just order some dumplings to eat first. You don't have to wait for me."
"Okay, I'll eat first if I'm hungry." After he changed his shoes, the girl put his backpack on his back.
Li Chu didn't ask the girl to send him out. He didn't wear enough clothes in the house. It would be troublesome if he caught a cold when he went out.
It took less than ten minutes to ride to the place. From a distance, he saw his sister and brother-in-law, both standing at the gate waiting for him. Li Qin stood there with a dark face, and Wang Ziwen stood beside her with a smiling face.
I saw my younger brothers Li Qin and Wang Ziwen coming up to greet me.
As soon as they met Wang Ziwen said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, I'm so sorry that I have to find something for you to do during the Chinese New Year."
"How can you be a brother-in-law like you? Why don't you drag your brother-in-law out to see a doctor on New Year's Day and not see him again after the New Year? It's not a disease that will kill you soon." Li Qin said to Wang Ziwen in front of his younger brother.
training.
"Okay my daughter-in-law, can you please keep your voice down? That is not only my leader, but also your leader."
Li Chu knew that his sister was scolding his brother-in-law in front of him, but he was worried that he would be called out to see a doctor on New Year's Day, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Smiling and waving his hand, Li Chu said: "Sister, we are all a family, so don't say these foreign words. Helping my brother-in-law means helping me. My brother-in-law has helped me so many times, but he didn't say anything.
If you pass, let’s not be polite.”
Then he looked at Wang Ziwen and said, "Brother-in-law, how is the patient? Tell me first."
Seeing that her brother really didn't mind, Li Qin smiled happily. It was because they were biological siblings that she was even more worried.
This is the only relative in her natal family, and she still clearly remembers the way her brother ran behind her when he was a child.
At that time, conditions in Nanniwan were difficult, and her parents were too busy at work and were often away from home. She took care of her younger brother by herself. She would give some rare things to her younger brother, but her younger brother always let her eat first.
If she doesn't eat her brother, she will make trouble with her.
Once she was ill and was lying in bed crying uncomfortably. Her younger brother ran over and wiped her tears while crying and said, "Sister, I will be a doctor when I grow up so that you will never feel so uncomfortable again."
My younger brother was only six years old that year.
Later, when she found out that her brother had really passed the medical school, she burst into tears in Wang Ziwen's arms.
My younger brother has memorized what he said when he was a child for more than ten years and has been working hard.
Looking at Wang Ziwen beside him who was about to speak but then turned to look at him, Li Qin took a few steps to the side and waited for them quietly without saying anything.
