"Gift?"
"Um."
Jiang Xun took out a neatly folded skirt from his bag and handed it to Ye Li.
"Take a look. Do you like it?"
"Clothes?" Ye Li took it and shook it open, "Dress!"
The style of this skirt is quite novel. The light blue color is very suitable for this summer. The fabric feels very comfortable and soft, and it should be quite breathable.
"You went to the mall? So late, just to buy me a dress?"
"Yeah. I've always wanted to buy one, so I asked a colleague to help me find out. I heard that new stock had arrived today, so I asked someone to save one for me!"
Ye Li was very happy holding the skirt: "It looks good, very good! Isn't it cheap?"
...
...
"It's worth it if you like it."
"How much?" Ye Li asked, "More than thirty or more than fifty?"
This skirt was bought from a shopping mall, so it must be expensive. According to her estimation, the price of this skirt is within this range.
"Over fifty."
Ye Li gasped: "You are really generous! This is almost as much as your salary at the end of a month! If these fifty yuan were converted into hospital fees, it would be enough to stay in the hospital for several days."
"That's not how it works. Some things can't be measured with money. It depends on whether it's liked! If it's liked, then it's worth it!"
"I like it. I like it very much." Ye Li stroked the fabric. "How could I not like it?"
The thing is good, and the key is that it was given by Jiang Xun!
"Why did you think of buying me a dress?"
"I've never seen you wearing a dress, and I haven't seen you buy any new clothes after we got married. You've been so focused on making money for my medical treatment that you've neglected yourself." Jiang Xun spoke every word with sincerity and affection.
Ye Li laughed: "This skirt is very beautiful! I will wear it for you to see on the day of the operation!"
"Why do you have to wait until that day? You can wear it tomorrow!"
"No, I can't bear to wear such expensive clothes!"
Jiang Xun couldn't help but raise his hand and touch her head: "Silly girl!"
The couple went home together. The alley was quiet. A crescent moon shone quietly overhead, stretching the two people's shadows very long.
"Jiang Xun, go to the hospital tomorrow. The experts have arrived and want to consult on your condition. If everything goes well, you'll be able to have surgery soon!"
Jiang Xun didn't say anything.
Ye Li didn't urge him and just waited for him quietly.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Xun said one word: "Okay."
Jiang Xun was worried and tossed and turned in bed at night, unable to sleep well.
Ye Li was too tired these days and didn't notice it. Instead, he slept until dawn.
The next day, the two went to the hospital together and met the expert invited by Liu Cheng.
After a whole day of examinations and consultations, the experts analyzed that although Jiang Xun's operation was high-risk, if the operation was successful, the prognosis would be very good, and the operation was scheduled for three days later.
Because a series of examinations are required before the operation, you need to be hospitalized in advance.
After discussion, the doctor asked Jiang Xun to go through the admission procedures tomorrow.
After leaving the hospital, Ye Li and Jiang Xun wanted to go home and tell their family the news.
When I arrived at the entrance of the alley, I met the second aunt who had been waiting for a long time.
"Second Aunt, why are you here?"
"Hey, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" The second aunt sucked on her popsicle and handed the tightly tied snakeskin bag at her feet to Ye Li, "Here, this is for you!"
"What is this?"
"Take a look."
Ye Li opened the snakeskin bag and found two chickens and half a rack of spareribs inside.
"Oh my, so many things?" Ye Li was shocked.
Let’s not talk about the chicken, let’s just talk about the ribs.
This small piece of pork ribs looks like it weighs about five or six pounds, which is really a lot.
"Second Aunt, where did you get so many things?" Ye Li asked in astonishment.
The second aunt said, "I exchanged it with someone else. I heard that your husband was going to have an operation, and I thought that he would need nutrition after the operation. We can't get anything else, but we can get this meat!"
"Who did you exchange it with?"
"Production team." Second Aunt whispered in Ye Li's ear, "I exchanged it with the production team in the village! The pigs in this production team died of heatstroke, so they killed the pigs and divided the pork among every household. The accountant's son needed a dowry to marry, so I used the money to buy a few chickens and a small portion of pork ribs from them."
"How can I say this? I'm sorry for making you spend so much money! I'll give you whatever you spent!" Ye Li said as he rummaged through his pocket to get the money.
"Look at what you are saying. This is a gift from me to you. It doesn't matter what money you have. Don't mention money to me. I will get angry with you if you do."
Seeing that Second Auntie was sincere, Ye Li thanked her and accepted the gift: "Thank you, Second Auntie."
"Why are you being so polite to me?"
"By the way, what have my mom and the others been busy with at home these days? Is my dad really sick?" Ye Li has been busy these days and has no time to pay attention to the situation over there. When he ran into the second aunt today, he asked casually.
"Your father is fine! He just fell a few days ago, nothing serious. I don't know what your mother and your brother and sister have been busy with recently. They keep talking nonsense all day long, as if they are possessed by evil spirits. Ignore them!"
"Possessed by an evil spirit?" Ye Li asked hurriedly, "What does possessed by an evil spirit mean?"
"They are eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures at home! Feudal superstition is not allowed now, but they are doing it secretly at home! It's because our neighbors are kind that no one reports them! If they were reported, wouldn't they be caught without any hesitation?" The second aunt muttered a few words.
Ye Li took the words to heart: "Then I understand the situation! After Jiang Xun finishes the operation, I will treat you to a good meal! Let's go to a restaurant and thank you very much!"
"Okay! Then I wish you a smooth and successful operation!"
"Second Aunt is a good person." Jiang Xun said suddenly.
"Yeah, she used to be a warm-hearted, nosy person, but we didn't have much other contact."
"After I finish the surgery, we will go to her house to thank her," Jiang Xun said.
"Well, okay." Ye Li nodded with a smile, "Let's go home."
Because he had to be hospitalized for surgery the next day, Jiang Xun could not go to work, so he went to see Master Qin in advance to briefly explain the situation.
After Ye Li sent him there, he went back carrying the snakeskin bag.
As soon as she entered the yard, she ran into Chengcai and Dongliang, two naughty kids, playing with the cat and dog in the yard.
It's said to be a joke, but in fact it can be considered abuse.
Two people tied up the limbs and mouth of a small local dog with ropes and threw it aside.
At this moment, a wild cat was being held down and its whiskers were being pulled.
