Just then, an old woman's violent coughing was heard in the room.

When the Lu brothers heard the coughing sound coming from inside, they were so scared that their faces turned pale and they hurried inside.

Xiao Wen followed in immediately.

A skinny old woman was lying in the damp room.

"Mom, how are you?" Lu Da ran over and asked with concern while patting her back.

The old woman coughed several times before she gasped for breath and replied, "Mom, it's okay. Who came to our house just now? Why didn't you invite them in for a glass of water?"

"Auntie, it's me, Xiao Wen. Do you still remember me?" Xiao Wen walked over and greeted her.

The old woman raised her almost sunken eyes, with a glint in her eyes, "It turns out to be Xiao Xiao, you haven't been here for a long time."

Xiao Wen smiled and answered seriously, "Yes, Auntie, something happened before, so I didn't come to see you. How is your old body?"

The old woman looked at her two sons, her face showing a look of despair. "If I can't die, I'll drag them down with me."

"Mom, what are you talking about? My brother and I are so happy that you're alive." Lu Da didn't like his mother saying that.

For him, it is such a happy thing to have a mother in the family.

"Because mom, you and your brother are now in your twenties and have never seen a girl. It's mom who has harmed you." The old woman said sadly.

Lu Er said angrily, "Mom, I don't want to marry a wife, I just want you to live."

The mother and her two children were so sad that they didn't know what to say.

Xiao Wen looked at the mother and her two children with sympathy.

Before leaving, Xiao Wen told the brothers again, "Remember the doctor I mentioned. Take your mother to see him as soon as possible. He's a good doctor and his fees are not expensive. Just listen to me."

"I know, Brother Xiao, don't worry, I will take my mother to see him this afternoon." Lu Da said seriously.

After leaving Lu's house, Xiao Wen went to the department store.

The department store in town is incomparable to the one in the county town. There are not many things available inside.

After searching around, he finally found what he was looking for in a small shop in a corner.

When he came over, he just caught up with the last bicycle.

"Comrade, I want to buy this bicycle. How much is it?" He asked, pointing to the last women's bicycle placed in the corner.

The saleswoman was a young girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

She was cracking melon seeds out of boredom when she suddenly heard this pleasant voice. When she looked up, she saw a handsome and gentle man. She was so embarrassed that her tender face immediately turned red.

"Hello, this bicycle costs 180 yuan. If you don't want to use a ticket, it costs 220 yuan. Which one do you want?" the saleswoman asked with a blushing face.

She thought that all the men in this small place were ugly, but when she saw this man today, she realized that there are still good-looking men in this small place. She just didn't know whether this man was married.

Xiao Wen chose the second payment method without thinking.

After paying two hundred and twenty yuan, the bicycle was pulled out of the small corner.

The women's bicycle was still a little small for a tall man like him.

So when he rode back, his long legs were a little sore.

As soon as he arrived at the village entrance, he was seen by the villagers.

Before I had walked in much, I was stopped by some curious villagers and asked questions.

"Xiao Wen, your family is really rich. You just bought a refrigerator last time, and now you bought a bicycle. Just think about it, it would be great if my family were half as rich as yours." The speaker was a young man, staring at the women's bicycle in Xiao Wen's hand with envy.

When Xiao Wen was about to reach out to touch it, he immediately pushed the bicycle.

Seeing this, the young man's eyes flashed with annoyance.

Xiao Wen didn't dare to show his annoyance. He bought a bicycle for his wife, and no other man except him could touch it.

"If you all have nothing to do, I'll go back first. We can talk another day." There was really nothing to talk about with these people, so Xiao Wen got on his bike and left.

The villagers who stayed behind looked at his back as he rode away on his bicycle, with envy in their eyes.

"The Xiao family used to be so poor, but now look at them, they've bought refrigerators and bicycles, they're really rich! Xiao Wen is still living in the county town on the government payroll, but I heard his salary is several hundred yuan. Look at him, it's really like the saying goes, 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west.' You really can't underestimate him."

Xiao Wen, who was already riding his bicycle home, had no idea about these words.

At this time, he rode his bicycle to the Xiao family.

As soon as he arrived at the doorstep, he pressed the bell, which immediately attracted the children at home.

"Wow, Dad, is this our family's bicycle?" The second child, Xiao Wenqing, stared at the bicycle in Xiao Wen's hand with his sparkling eyes.

Seeing his little hand coming up, Xiao Wen gently patted the back of his hand and said, "Don't touch me."

Xiao Wenqing touched the back of her hand that was patted and pouted, but her attention was soon attracted to the new bicycle.

Lin Qingqing was called out by the cheers of her three children, and she saw the bicycle pushed by her husband at a glance.

"Did you buy this?" she asked in surprise as she walked up to him.

Seeing the joy in her eyes, Xiao Wen knew that he had made the right purchase. The corners of his mouth rose, "I bought this for you. Do you like it?"

Lin Qingqing pushed him away and tried to push the bicycle herself. What's more, the height and size of the bicycle were exactly suitable for her height.

"I like it. You must have spent a lot of money on it, right?" Bicycles are still a rare commodity nowadays, so this man must have spent a lot of money on it.

Xiao Wen smiled and said, "It's worth spending any amount of money as long as it's for you."

After hearing his words, Lin Qingqing immediately felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

The reward for buying his wife a bicycle was that he gave her a full meal that night.

Of course, this is a later story.

At noon, when the Xiao family was having lunch, three people stood outside the gate seeking medical treatment.

When the three were invited in by Xiao Qing, they saw Xiao Wen sitting in the hall eating, and surprise flashed across their faces.

"Brother Xiao, what is going on?" Lu Da looked at him and asked.

Xiao Wen stood up, walked over with a smile, and took Old Lady Xiao's hand and walked in to sit down.

"You are not mistaken. The doctor you are looking for is your sister-in-law, who is also my wife. I didn't want to tell you directly this morning because I was afraid that you would refuse to come because of this." After greeting the mother and her two children, Xiao Wen began to explain to them.
