On the way, they learned that the lady's surname was Kong. Lian Xiaomin followed her for about 15 minutes. They saw that the place was called Yangshu Hutong. It was dark and there was no one around, so they hurried in.
After walking more than 10 meters and turning a corner, the first one is there.
Aunt Kong quickly took out the key, opened the gate, and took Lian Xiaomin in.
The yard was in a mess. A small tree was kicked down, a stool was broken, and the dining table had its legs broken and was moved to the side.
The old lady said, "The child has been sick these days, and I don't have the energy to clean up. Girl, please be careful."
Entering the main room, a small oil lamp was lit. Lian Xiaomin saw two children lying on the kang, both asleep.
The girl who was sleeping on the outside looked to be about ten years old. When she heard the noise, she rubbed her eyes and got up from the bed, whispering, "Grandma, you're back? Did you buy food?"
Lying closer to the inside was a smaller boy, covered with a small quilt, who looked to be about four or five years old.
Lian Xiaomin noticed that the kid's face was red and it seemed that he had a high fever and was seriously ill.
The old lady came in and rummaged through the things while saying, "Cuicui, grandma has exchanged for food. Put on some clothes and boil some water to make some rice porridge for you and your little brother to eat later."
As she spoke, the old lady ignored the child and took out a large bag from the wardrobe in the corner. She rummaged through the things inside for Lian Xiaomin to see.
When the little girl on the kang heard this, her eyes lit up, and her pretty face was full of surprise. She said, "That's great! I'll get better soon after eating the rice porridge." Then she put on her coat and was about to get off the kang.
Lian Xiaomin saw that the little boy was in a bad condition and thought that there was no time to delay. She didn't dare to give him any medicine casually for such a young child. She had to go to the hospital quickly.
She silently took out an aluminum lunch box from her backpack. No one knew what was inside anyway.
Opening the lunch box, it was a full box of millet porridge with eggs and shredded pork. Lian Xiaomin put it on the small table at the head of the kang and said quickly, "Auntie, don't let the little girl work so hard. I have a box of porridge here, but I haven't eaten it yet. Give it to the child first. The sick child looks very serious. Let's go to the hospital quickly, don't delay!"
The old lady was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the other party to suddenly take out such a big box of food. The millet porridge looked golden yellow, and there was a fragrance as soon as it was opened. There seemed to be eggs and shredded pork in it. Oh my god, it was so delicious.
The little girl stared at the lunch box, her eyes were wide open, and her throat made a swallowing sound, but she did not move. She just looked at her grandmother timidly.
"Oh, how can I do this? This is such a good thing, girl, you should keep it for yourself. I have some rice here, too!"
Lian Xiaomin sat down next to the little boy, reached out and touched his forehead, and said, "Auntie, this little boy's forehead is so hot, don't say anything, send him to the hospital first, there is no time to cook, let the little girl eat first."
The old lady had just opened the big bundle and took out a small cloth bag from it. She was about to hand it to Lian Xiaomin to see, but when she heard what she said, she became nervous and found it a little difficult to speak, but she still spoke immediately.
"Girl, look at these things. Can I exchange them for money? I...I'll exchange them for some money and take the child to the hospital..." As he stuffed the money into Lian Xiaomin's hands, his voice choked with sobs.
Lian Xiaomin took a look at the things in the small cloth bag. There were two jade pendants, each of which was crystal clear and very warm in the hand. There was also a ring inlaid with a huge gem that was dazzling. In particular, there was also a jade necklace that was imperial green!
She looked at it quickly and thought that this family had some wealth, but she wondered what they did.
But she didn't think much about it. To save time, she immediately said, "Okay, I'll take all the things, Auntie. These are priceless and good things. I'll give you three hundred yuan. I still have a piece of pork and a few bundles of noodles in my backpack. I'll leave them for you. In addition, I can send you some more food tomorrow morning."
As he said this, he took out money from his pocket, counted out three hundred yuan and handed it to the lady.
The old lady didn't expect the other party to give so much money. Although she knew the value of the things, it was not easy to exchange them for money in today's world. If she met someone like that, she might as well give him a few dozen dollars to get rid of him.
Aunt Kong held the money in her trembling hands, tears welling up in her eyes.
Lian Xiaomin took out a three-pound piece of meat and five pounds of noodles from her backpack, placed them on the kang table, said hello and left.
Aunt Kong wiped away her tears, found a place to hide the money, and carried a hundred yuan with her. Then she told the little girl to eat rice porridge at home, and she quickly wrapped her grandson in a small quilt, picked him up and rushed to the hospital.
The next day, Lian Xiaomin woke up early from the big bed in the space villa. After a day, she missed her brother and sister-in-law a little. She didn't plan to stay any longer and prepared to go back today.
This county town is not interesting at all, let’s go back to Sandaogou Village. The world is in chaos, and at least we can live a simple life in the village.
Before eight o'clock in the morning, I went to Aunt Kong's house in Yangshu Hutong and knocked on the gate. After a while, Aunt Kong came out to open the door. She went to the hospital last night, and the doctor on duty treated her grandson. He gave her a fever-reducing injection and a bottle of fluid. In the second half of the night, the fever went away and she slept soundly.
Seeing that her fever had subsided, the doctor allowed her to go home with the baby in the morning and prescribed oral medicine for her before she left.
The old lady had just arrived home and looked very tired.
She let Lian Xiaomin into the house. Both children were awake, the little girl was sitting on the kang and the little boy was lying down, but their eyes were rolling around and they were staring at the person who came in curiously from the side.
Lian Xiaomin has not taken the antidote for her disguise yet, and still looks like Xiaoyu.
"Auntie Kong, how is the little kid? Looks like the fever has subsided."
The old lady looked at her gratefully and replied, "It went away at midnight yesterday. The doctor said that as long as the fever goes down and you get better, you can come back. He also prescribed children's western medicine tablets for you to take."
Lian Xiaomin touched the baby's head and found that he no longer had a fever and his complexion looked much better. There was an empty bowl next to him, probably because he had just eaten something.
"Girl, you're right, I didn't even ask you what your name was yesterday. I have to make sure the two kids remember your kindness in the future!" said Aunt Kong.
"Auntie, just call me Xiaoyu."
She quickly patted the little kid's shoulders, looked at her granddaughter, and said, "Xiaobao, Cuicui, you must remember that Sister Xiaoyu helped our family and saved Xiaobao!"
Cuicui raised her little face and said seriously: "Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu, for saving my little brother! The rice porridge is really delicious."
The lying baby also opened his mouth and said in a baby voice: "Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu, I'll drink it too! It smells good!"
Lian Xiaomin also grinned and said, "You're welcome," the two kids were so cute.
I miss my younger brother and sister-in-law at home again. There is a bus at nine in the morning. I will leave my things there and take the bus directly. I will arrive at the commune at noon.
