The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the two brothers, as usual, pulled their cart to deliver vegetables.
This job is no easy task; it requires working from dawn till dusk, but the two brothers grit their teeth and persevere for the sake of making a living.
By the time I finished delivering the groceries, the sun was high in the sky.
Yu Chengyuan wiped the sweat from his face and said to Yu Ping'an, "Brother, now that we're done with this, shouldn't we go to the hospital to check on Jiang Haitang?"
What do you think we should buy?
He already had a plan in mind, but he asked his older brother this question on purpose.
Yu Pingan thought for a moment, scratched his head and said, "Hmm, we can't go to see a patient empty-handed. Let's buy some apples and bananas. They're affordable and look nice."
"We still have two cuttlefish left, we can take those too, that should be enough."
He felt that when visiting someone in the hospital, one should not neglect proper etiquette.
"Alright, we'll do as you say, brother."
Yu Chengyuan nodded.
Now that I'm just a regular friend of Jiang Haitang and the others, buying these things won't make me seem stingy or too deliberate.
The two went to the market, picked out some big, red apples and bright yellow bananas, and headed straight to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital and opening the ward door, Jiang Haitang's parents weren't there; only she and Jiang Haiyang were in the room. Jiang Haiyang, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted the two brothers and greeted them warmly: "Brother Chengyuan, Brother Ping'an, you're here! Please have a seat!"
"This hospital isn't as comfortable as home. Why don't you sit on this bed?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the empty bed next to his sister.
This bed is for family members to sleep in while accompanying their loved ones.
Because it was leg surgery, and as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a bone or tendon injury, Jiang Haitang will not be discharged from the hospital for at least a month.
Sitting on the bed, Jiang Haitang greeted them with a smile, "Brother Ping An, Brother Cheng Yuan, please sit down!"
The two brothers quickly waved their hands, and Yu Pingan said, "We won't sit down. We'll go back later. We still have some things to take care of at home."
"Why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Jiang Haiyang said quickly. "Brother Chengyuan, I just happened to have something to ask you! I was thinking of visiting you in a couple of days when I had some free time, but it's just so convenient that you're here today, so I don't have to make another trip."
"Brother Jiang, you need something from me? What is it?" Yu Chengyuan was a little surprised, not expecting Jiang Haiyang to specifically seek him out.
Jiang Haiyang glanced at his sister, then at Yu Pingan, and turned to Yu Pingan, saying, "Brother Pingan, your brother and I have something we'd like to discuss privately. Could you please look after my sister for me?"
Before Ping An could even speak, Yu Chengyuan quickly interjected, "No need to ask, my older brother will definitely agree."
My older brother is a very thoughtful person; he'll definitely have no problem taking care of your sister.
"Brother Jiang, let's go outside and talk!"
After saying that, she smiled and said to her older brother, "Big brother, you stay here and take good care of little sister Haitang. If you don't understand anything, just ask the nurse!"
Yu Pingan knew in his heart that his younger brother had probably left him in the ward on purpose, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only nod helplessly and say, "Oh, I see."
Seeing that his brother had agreed, Yu Chengyuan followed Jiang Haiyang out of the ward.
As soon as the two reached the corner of the corridor, Jiang Haiyang jokingly said, "You little rascal, did you do this on purpose? Leaving your brother and my sister together."
"Brother Jiang, please don't wrong me!"
It was you who suggested that my brother stay and take care of Haitang.
My older brother is easily embarrassed, so I agreed on his behalf.
Yu Chengyuan would never admit it, and he looked completely innocent.
"Fine, don't deny it. I'm not stupid."
To be honest, I did it on purpose.
Because I think my sister might have a slight crush on your older brother.
These past few days, my younger sister has been mentioning Yu Ping'an intentionally or unintentionally. It's happened several times already, and as her older brother, he knows exactly what's going on.
"Really? Brother Jiang, you're not joking with me!"
My older brother is an honest and simple person, but he can't handle any trouble.
"Sigh, my older brother almost got scammed on his blind date last time!" Yu Pingan couldn't help but sigh.
"What? Your older brother is going on blind dates?"
Why didn't you say so sooner!
No, I have to go back. I can't let your older brother and my sister be alone together.
This is bad for my sister's reputation.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Haiyang immediately became agitated and turned to walk back.
He thought to himself, "He already has a blind date, how can he still get so close to his sister? Isn't this just hurting his sister?"
Yu Chengyuan quickly grabbed him and said anxiously, "Brother Jiang, don't worry!"
I haven't finished speaking yet!
My brother's blind date fell through.
The blind date was quite pretty, but her character was terrible and her conduct was improper.
Not only did she have an affair with a married man, but she also got pregnant with his child, and she even wanted to marry my brother while still having the baby.
Thank goodness I found out, otherwise my brother's life would have been ruined. He'd have to live with a cuckold's horns for the rest of his life and wouldn't be able to hold his head up in the village.
"What? There are girls this shameless? This is unbelievable!"
Luckily you found out early, otherwise your brother would have fallen into a fire pit and become a living turtle!
I doubt that family is any good either.
Jiang Haiyang was so angry that he cursed, looking indignant.
"Who can argue with that!"
Sigh, my older brother's life is so hard!
He's encountered all sorts of unpleasant things.
"I used to work hard in the coal mine, and all the wages I earned were taken by that wicked old woman. She wouldn't give me a single penny to get my brother a wife."
