Passing by the guard, he took out two apples and stuffed them into his hands. Without giving him a chance to refuse, he turned and walked into the compound.
When I returned to the Yun family, I saw that everyone was looking at the door, as if they were waiting for me.
When Old Lady Yun saw her come back, she quickly stood up and walked over to her, pulling her aside and saying, "Ranran, where have you been? Why did you take so long? Grandma was so worried."
An Ran put the fruit on the table and comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry, I'm fine. Don't you know how skilled I am? I won't suffer any loss."
I knew in my heart that they were afraid that I would leave without saying goodbye and never come back.
He took out bananas, lychees, and apples and placed them in front of everyone. He said, "I've prepared some fruit for everyone. Eat them all. Don't be reluctant to eat."
Everyone looked at the apple, and they were all familiar with it. They had also seen bananas once before. But when they saw the round thing with a slightly rough skin, they were all confused.
Little Yunxiao pointed at the lychee and asked, "Auntie, what is this? I've never seen it before!"
An Ran squatted down, picked up a lychee, and peeled it while saying, "This is called a lychee. The flesh is juicy and tender, and it's especially delicious. But in addition to peeling the lychee, you also have to spit out the core. Come on, Axiao, open your mouth."
Little Yunxiao opened his mouth and Anran stuffed the fruit pulp into his little mouth.
Yunxiao remembered Anran's words, spit out the core obediently, and swallowed the flesh. He said excitedly: "Auntie, this is so delicious, Axiao wants to eat more."
Lin Xiaoyi was very sensible. She hugged Yunxiao and said, "Ah Xiao, be good. Although lychees are delicious, you can't eat them all by yourself. You should leave some for your great-grandparents and your grandparents. This is called respecting the elderly, don't you understand?"
Little Yunxiao didn’t quite understand and was reluctant to give up the lychees, but he still nodded sensibly.
An Ran felt sorry for him, so she took him in and held him in her arms. She whispered to him, "Ah Xiao, keep those lychees for your great-grandfather and great-grandmother. When you and your parents come home, your aunt will bring some back for you. You, your parents, and your grandparents can eat them together, okay?"
Xiao Yunxiao's eyes lit up, and he asked in a low voice: "Aunt, is that true?"
An Ran nodded and said, "It's true. Liars are like puppies."
After dinner, before Yun Guoqiang and his family left, An Ran took out the lychees she had prepared and stuffed them into Lin Xiaoyi's hands.
Lin Xiaoyi felt the contents of the bag and found out what it was. She returned it to An Ran and said, "Ran Ran, this is too precious. You keep it for you and your grandparents. It's okay if we don't eat it."
He stuffed it back into her arms and said, "Sister-in-law, even the most precious things are edible. Besides, you don't have to worry about grandpa and grandma. There is food. This is prepared for you. Xiao is still young, so eating more fruits is good for your health."
After seeing off Yun Guoqiang and his family, An Ran went to the Jin family again, found a place where no one was around, took out some fruits, and sent them to the Jin family.
After returning to the Yun family, just as I was about to go back to my room, I heard a violent cough coming from Yun Guohua's room.
An Ran frowned, and after a moment's thought, she walked over to Yun Guohua's room. She raised her hand and knocked on the door, but it wasn't closed. She pushed it open and saw Yun Guohua, slumped over on the bed in agony.
He took a few quick steps and came to Yun Guohua. He took out the spiritual spring water, pinched his mouth open, and poured the spiritual spring water in. He grabbed his wrist and felt his pulse. His brows were getting more and more furrowed, almost pinching a fly to death.
Looking at his pulse, this should be a symptom of lung cancer, and it's already very serious.
No wonder she smelled blood when she first came in.
He took out two cough suppressants, stuffed them into Yun Guohua's mouth, and fed him a few sips of spiritual spring water. He stood up and closed the door, fearing to disturb the old couple.
Half an hour later, Yun Guohua recovered. An Ran asked, "When was the diagnosis confirmed?"
Yun Guohua smiled bitterly and said, "When I was in the countryside, I often felt unwell. Not long after I came back, I went to the hospital for a checkup. After the diagnosis was confirmed, they prescribed some medicine, but it didn't work in the end."
An Ran frowned and asked again: "Does anyone else know?"
Yun Guohua shook his head and said, "I don't know. I haven't told anyone."
An Ran said irritably, "Why don't you go to the hospital for treatment? Staying at home won't get better."
Yun Guohua smiled weakly and said, "The doctor said that this is tuberculosis and the best treatment period has been missed. Since it has been missed, why should I lie in the hospital and wait to die! I originally thought that after I came back, I would find a job and make a lot of money to buy lots of nice things for my daughter. But Dad is useless. After I came back, not to mention finding a job, I don't even have much time left to live."
An Ran was feeling a mixture of emotions. After looking at him for a long moment, she pulled out two bottles of spiritual spring water and placed them beside him. She said, "Although this water won't cure your illness, it will at least help. Drink these two bottles regularly. If you run out, tell me. I have more."
As she was about to walk out the door, Yun Guohua stopped her and said, "Ranran, thank you. If...if, one day Daddy passes away. Can...can you call me Daddy before he dies?"
Hearing this, An Ran fell silent. She didn't know what to say. In her heart, Yun Guohua was not worthy of being a man, not worthy of being a husband, and even less worthy of being a father. However, sometimes she thought that as an outsider, she had no right to judge right or wrong in these matters.
She had no right to comment on matters between men and women, nor on matters between father and daughter. Actually, think about it, was Yun Guohua really entirely at fault? No, it wasn't entirely his fault. The original owner's mother was also responsible. They had teamed up to harm the original owner.
