After letting Xiao Chengzi check her son's leg, although she was sure that there was nothing wrong, Wang Po was still worried and got up to ask a doctor.
Ling Xiao had no choice but to call on her comrade-in-arms guarding the door to accompany her to find the doctor on duty.
"Uncle, does your leg hurt?"
Xiao Chengzi lay on the bed, looking at Ling Xiao with a worried look on his face.
She just saw with her own eyes the hard and white bandages tied around her uncle's legs. It must have been very painful.
Ling Xiao spoke softly and reached out to rub his niece's little head.
"It doesn't hurt anymore. I'll be at home with you guys from now on."
"Really? That's great. My uncle is at home now. My cousin won't dare to bully us anymore, and my jujube tree won't be taken away!"
Ling Cheng's face was full of joy. Thinking of the red dates in the small bag, she quickly climbed down from the bed, picked up the small bag at the end of the bed, and took out a few large red dates from it.
Ling Xiao looked at her in surprise. Where did she get these things?
"Uncle, this is for you." The little girl came over like she was offering a treasure.
Ling Xiao felt sad that his little niece always thought of him.
"No, keep it for yourself."
Ling Cheng held the bag with a stern face, "Uncle, you have to eat this, this is given to me by the fairy sister. The fairy sister can make the jujube tree grow..."
Thinking of the little secret between her and her sister, the little girl blinked and changed her words, "Uncle, if you eat this, your legs will definitely get better."
Ling Xiao looked at her suspiciously, "What little fairy? Who gave you these red dates?"
These red dates are fresh and have a nice color. Not to mention whether my family can afford them, I’m afraid they are hard to find in the entire county.
"The fairy sister gave it to me, uncle, you can't ask, I promised sister not to tell!"
Ling Cheng climbed onto the hospital bed and stubbornly stuffed the red dates in his hand into Ling Xiao's mouth, "Uncle, you will definitely get better after eating them."
The fairy sister can make the jujube tree grow and bear jujubes, and she can definitely cure my uncle's legs. She doesn't want my uncle to be unable to walk.
Ling Xiao had no choice but to not take the child's childish words seriously and stuffed the date in his hand back into her little hand.
"Then uncle, you can have one, okay? But next time, don't take things from people you don't know, okay?"
Ling Xiao bit the red dates in his mouth gently. The red dates tasted so sweet and refreshing. Perhaps it was a psychological effect. He even felt that the pain in his right leg, which had been aching all the time, had eased a little...
"I know the Fairy Sister. Grandma even talked to her! The Fairy Sister even had dinner at our house."
Ling Cheng pouted angrily. Her uncle was so annoying that he actually said she didn't know the fairy sister...
After asking the doctor and confirming that her son only had a leg injury, Wang Po-po felt relieved. She just walked in the door and heard her granddaughter's angry words.
She glanced at the red dates in her granddaughter's hand and said unhappily, "What fairy sister? It was Meng Yuzhen's sister Xiaoqi from Mengjia Lane who came here today. I guess that girl gave it to her."
Xiaoqi?
Ling Xiao frowned slightly, "Mom, which one are you talking about?"
He didn't remember knowing such a person.
"It's the family you're engaged to, Meng Yuzhen. Her sister is Xiaoqi. Meng what? Yes, Meng Qidi! She came to see us specially today."
Qidi, Qidi, she remembered the name right away. This girl was polite and left a can of malted milk when she left...
Grandma Wang said as she groped her way in, "That little girl is quite polite. She probably came here on behalf of her sister to take a look."
After all, the two families are about to get married, and it is normal for the girl to be shy, so it is normal to let her sister come over to take a look.
Grandma Wang fumbled around and sat down beside the bed. "Ling Xiao, if you are discharged from the army this time, you can just get the marriage certificate printed and try to get married before the end of the year."
Ling Xiao was silent for a while, "Mom, let's cancel my wedding."
Wang Po raised her head abruptly, her cloudy eyes without any focus, "What did you say?"
Ling Xiao looked at the quilt and smiled bitterly, "Mom, she is still young, but my legs are broken, I may be a cripple for the rest of my life, and with the situation in our family, it is better not to delay the development of other girls..."
In fact, he had thought about this problem on the way back. Although he had a subsidy, it was not much, and people might not appreciate it...
"But...but, are you never going to marry a wife?"
Wang Po's voice was choked with sobs. It was all her fault. It was she, a blind old woman, who had dragged her son down...
Ling Xiao looked at his niece beside the bed. "It's good to be alone. Our family is not extinct. We still have Xiao Chengzi! I will raise her well."
The little girl didn't understand what the two were saying, she only knew that they were talking about herself. She quickly stretched out her hand and said, "Uncle, eat another red date, and the pain will go away."
Ling Xiao raised the corner of his mouth and reached out to pick up the red dates. "Okay, then uncle will eat them. Don't cry."
The little girl wrinkled her nose and patted her little bag, "My uncle is so silly, the fairy sister gave me a lot, yes, let me try some milk too."
The little girl took out a red date and put it to the old lady's mouth.
Grandma Wang opened her mouth helplessly, and in her heart she somewhat accepted what her son said. Yes, their family is full of old and young people, some are blind and some are lame, so people may not be willing to marry into their family...
