"Where is this letter from?" Jiang Xun took the envelope.
"Won't you know it by looking at it yourself?"
Jiang Xun opened the envelope and pulled out a letter. He quickly glanced at the contents of the letter and asked, "Is my aunt coming?"
In Jiang Xun's impression, his mother seemed to have very little contact with his aunt's family.
He remembered that his uncle was not a serious person and often bullied his aunt. His aunt was very gentle, so gentle that she was dull. When she was young, she was deceived by someone's sweet talk and got pregnant before marriage, so she had to marry his uncle.
My uncle-in-law is from the countryside, so my aunt also followed him to the countryside.
In the past, my aunt would come back every year to visit relatives, but ever since that time when my uncle-in-law molested my mother, Zhao Xingmei, and my mother cut him open with a shovel, my aunt has never come back since then.
Ten years have passed in a flash, and my aunt is coming back.
"Yes, your aunt is coming back. Didn't the letter say that? Your uncle-in-law died in the early spring of this year. After the burial, your aunt's health has been failing. She's been sick every day. Living in the countryside, she can't get along with her sisters-in-law. They quarrel over trivial matters every day. So, your aunt wants to come back."
...
...
"When will it arrive?" Jiang Xun asked.
"Hurry up. It will take at least five days or at most a week for us to receive the letter from the time it is mailed. I estimate that the person is already on the way. I can't say for sure whether he will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"How long will the person stay?"
"It's hard to say. If your aunt doesn't want to go back to the countryside, I can't chase her away, right? Let's see what the situation is first." Zhao Xingmei couldn't help but sigh, "You said the family was in a mess, and now your aunt is coming again, and it's even more chaotic. But fortunately, we have a house to live in, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
"What is coming will eventually come, so let's deal with things one by one. Maybe my aunt will come to see the patient and stay for two days before leaving." Jiang Xun said.
"If that's the case, that's great! I was just afraid that your aunt would come and not leave, and she would have other things to do besides seeing a doctor..." While Zhao Xingmei was talking, the steamed buns were already cooked. She took the buns out of the pot, picked up a few and put them in the thermos bucket, and then filled two lunch boxes with the warm dishes in the pot, wrapped them in a towel and handed them to Jiang Xun, "Go to the hospital and deliver these food to Sui Sui."
"Okay." Jiang Xun reached out to take it.
"Wait." Zhao Xingmei suddenly remembered, "Don't go. It's time to get off work. You have to pick up Li Li. When Jiang Xi gets home later, I'll ask her to send it to Sui Sui."
"Li Li gets off work late today and has to work overtime. I can pick her up around eight o'clock."
"Overtime, overtime. She's pregnant and still working overtime." Zhao Xingmei felt sorry for Ye Li. "Look at how thin your wife is. Pregnant women eat a lot and gain weight, but she can't eat anything. She can't even smell the smell of rice. She'll vomit if she smells it. She won't eat sour or spicy food. She just eats millet porridge with cabbage every day. She's so pitiful. I've been busy with Wang Sha and Jiang Rui's affairs these days and haven't had time to cook for her."
Ye Li couldn't eat, and Jiang Xun was more anxious than anyone else.
"I'll go take some food to Sui Sui, and then ask the doctor if there's anything he can do since she's vomiting like this."
"That's fine."
"Mom, I'm going then." Jiang Xun picked up his things and left.
"Hey, wait a minute." Zhao Xingmei looked at the gloomy weather in the yard and hurriedly called him, "I think it's going to rain soon, put on your raincoat, don't get wet."
"knew."
…
When Jiang Xun delivered the food to the hospital, Jiang Sui was talking to the doctor.
He waited for a while, and after the doctor left, he went up to Jiang Sui and asked, "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said it will take at least three months for my second brother's leg to recover. As for Wang Sha, she will probably need to rest for half a year." Jiang Sui frowned when he mentioned this. "I haven't done anything for more than a week. I have been taking care of them in the hospital. Brother, if these two people lie down for half a year, will I be unable to do anything during this half year? What do the police say?"
"He has been sentenced to prison and released on medical parole. We are going through the process now, but we still have to take care of him." Jiang Xun said.
Jiang Sui was a little annoyed: "Brother, I am the only one without a job in the family now. Does it fall on me to take care of my second brother and Wang Sha? These two people are really troublesome!"
"I'm sorry to trouble you for the time being. You know your sister-in-law's situation. If Jiang Xi and I don't go to work on the weekends, we'll take turns replacing you."
"I just feel unbalanced. Why did the two of them quarrel like this? I'm so angry..." After Jiang Sui complained to his elder brother, he calmed down a little. "But I'm happy that the doctor changed Wang Sha's dressing today and she screamed in pain. She deserved it! She really deserved it!"
"Okay, stop complaining and eat quickly, or it will get cold. I have to go see the doctor and ask him what to do about your sister-in-law's severe morning sickness. Is there any solution?" Jiang Xun said.
"Brother, go ahead and take good care of my sister-in-law."
"Okay. Thank you for your hard work these days." Jiang Xun raised his hand and patted Jiang Sui's shoulder, pursed his lips, turned and left.
Watching her elder brother going away, Jiang Sui suddenly envied her elder sister-in-law Ye Li. She married a good man who cared about her no matter what he did. She thought of Ji Lin. Since the accident of her second sister-in-law, Ji Lin had not appeared again. She didn't know what he was busy with.
In fact, Ji Lin and my eldest brother are the same kind of people. If I marry Ji Lin, I should be happy, right?
"Sui Sui, Sui Sui, please come in. I want to go to the bathroom." Jiang Rui's voice rang out in the ward, calling Jiang Sui to come in.
"Here I come." Jiang Sui sighed deeply and was about to push the door open when she heard footsteps in the hospital corridor. She subconsciously turned her head and saw Ji Lin appearing in a military uniform with two bags in his hands, which looked heavy.
"Ji Lin?"
"Sui Sui!" The moment he saw Jiang Sui, Ji Lin smiled and quickened his pace. "Finally I found you. I thought you were working in the garment factory. I waited for a long time but didn't see you. I asked others and found out that you were not at work. I went to your house and asked, and then I found out that you were in the hospital."
"Do you know about my second brother and sister-in-law?" Jiang Sui asked.
Ji Lin nodded: "I understand."
"Why did you still come even though you knew that?" Jiang Sui looked at him and asked.
"Why? You know I can't come? They are the ones in this matter, and you are you. What does their business have to do with you?" Ji Lin said, handing her one of the bags, "Look, what good things did I bring you?"
Jiang Sui took the bag, sniffed twice and said, "You've been gone for so many days and there's been no news. I thought you heard what happened at my house and stopped coming to see me."
Ji Lin was surprised: "Why do you think so?"
However, he quickly reacted: "Sui Sui, you are looking forward to my coming, right? In fact, you care about me a little, right?"
Jiang Sui lowered his head and pursed his lips.
Seeing her depressed look, Ji Lin smiled silently. He raised his hand and rubbed her head: "Who made you unhappy? Was it me? If it was me, it would be a big sin. Sui Sui, I went on a business trip some time ago and should have come back earlier, but I was a little selfish, so I came back late. Open the bag in your hand and take a look. I have been looking for this thing for two days."
