Out of boredom, Li Xu began to look around.
He quickly withdrew his gaze and sat there quietly sipping the sugar water.
no way.
There is really nothing nice to see in this main room.
Simply put, the layout of the main halls of most families in Tang County is similar to this.
Of course, this also includes the Li family...
After he finished sipping half a glass of water, he saw Xiao Jianping and his grandmother walking in.
As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Jianping first expressed his apology, "Old Li, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"It's okay. I'm a little sorry for you. If I had known you were still sleeping at this time, I would definitely come later."
Xiao Jianping responded with a smile, "I woke up a long time ago, but I just didn't get up. It doesn't matter when you come."
At this time, Mrs. Xiao came forward and took Li Xu's cup, her face full of smiles, "Xiao Li, let me fill it up for you."
Without waiting for Li Xu's reply.
She took the cup to the side and added some sugar and boiling water.
After handing it to Li Xu again, she said, "You two little brothers, chat. I, an old lady, won't disturb you."
After saying that, he walked out.
Her actions made Li Xu a little stunned.
Nothing else, generally the host will only provide the guests with a cup of sugar water.
After you finish one cup, the host will not provide you with a second serving of sugar.
If guests want to drink more, they can only add some plain water, and maybe it will be a little sweet.
This is the first time I've seen him add sugar when there is only half a cup of sugar water left.
When Xiao Jianping saw his grandmother walk out, he hurried to the door of the main hall, stuck his head out to look around, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
He swaggered over to Li Xu and sat down, his smile growing even happier. "Old Li, thank you for coming to see me."
Li Xu handed over the oil-paper bag placed aside. "I knew you had a broken arm, so I had to come and see you. This is two taels of brown sugar I brought you. Don't think it's too little."
"What's there to complain about this being too little? I'd be happy even if you came empty-handed." Xiao Jianping took the paper bag with his right hand and casually placed it on the table beside him.
Seeing his action, Li Xu asked curiously, "I heard that your left arm was broken. Is it feeling better now?"
"It's much better, but it's more troublesome to get dressed, so these days I usually don't get up after waking up, and just lie in bed and read picture books."
"Did you ask Doctor Zhou at the county hospital to treat it? I've always heard that he's very good at this, but I've never seen him in person."
This problem has indeed troubled Li Xu for a long time.
I have always heard the legend of Doctor Zhou, but I have never seen him in person.
Now that I finally have someone injured who is my equal, how can I not ask about it?
Xiao Jianping nodded repeatedly, his face lit up with excitement. "Of course I asked him to treat me. That night we went to the county hospital first, but found that Doctor Zhou was not in. Other doctors wanted to treat me, but my father and the others flatly refused and took me to Doctor Zhou's home.
I'm telling you, their skills were real. They just felt the injured area, pried it open with both hands, fixed it with two small wooden sticks, and then said it was fine. The whole process took less than five minutes. I felt like I was dreaming.
Although his narration was relatively concise.
But you can hear his admiration for Dr. Zhou.
Li Xu also realized that Dr. Zhou was really awesome and was really good at orthopedics.
Just based on Xiao Jianping's personal explanation, he felt that the trip was not in vain.
Of course, other questions should still be asked.
So Li Xu immediately asked the next question, "What did you mean by sticking your head out from the main hall door just now?"
Hearing this question, the excitement on Xiao Jianping's face disappeared instantly. He looked at him deeply and asked, "Did you feel that my grandma was too enthusiastic towards you just now?"
Li Xu answered without hesitation, "Yes."
"That's right. I was just trying to be on guard against her. I just wanted to see if she was eavesdropping."
Li Xu:?
What kind of logic is this?
Your grandma is so enthusiastic towards me, and now you have to be on guard against her eavesdropping?
And your grandma actually has the habit of eavesdropping?
Seeing his bewildered face, Xiao Jianping sighed and then quietly explained, "On the day of the Little New Year, I said that the female college student was the sister of my colleague Li Xu. My grandma might have remembered it. As soon as she entered my room just now, she kept talking in my ear, wanting me to have a good relationship with you. I hope you can say good things about me in front of your sister.
As for the eavesdropping habit, to be precise, she only eavesdrops on me in this house, just to see if I am doing what I say.
Li Xu hesitated and asked, "Did you tell me that Su Weidong and I had come to your house before?"
"Yes."
Good job.
I was wondering how she could have such a good memory at such an old age.
After all this time, you just said that a few days ago.
Now it seems that when Old Lady Xiao asked me whether I had been here with Su Weidong before, she most likely wanted to confirm whether I was the same person as the Li Xu she knew.
The enthusiastic behavior just now also has an explanation.
It was because she wanted to help Xiao Jianping get along well with her.
Li Xu was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Then he thought of another question, "How rebellious were you in the past to make your grandma still worried?"
"Bullshit, I'm the only obedient person in my family. My grandma is worried about me for other reasons." Xiao Jianping suddenly became anxious and quickly defended himself.
"Can you tell me?"
Li Xu suddenly became excited.
His intuition told him that there must be something big going on here.
Unfortunately, Xiao Jianping decisively refused, "It's inconvenient. It's a family secret and must not be disclosed."
"Really can't tell?"
"I really can't."
"Okay." Li Xu felt extremely disappointed when he failed to eat this big melon.
He quickly cheered up, drank half a cup of sugar water in one breath to moisten his throat, and then said, "Old Xiao, let me ask you one more thing. Don't fool me."
"As long as it's not the question just now."
After receiving the assurance, Li Xu quickly asked about the purpose of coming here today. "I heard that when you were beaten that day, you only received two slaps at first. Later, it seemed that you said something and then you were beaten severely. Then you started to avoid it, and finally you accidentally fell like this. I want to know what you said at that time?"
When Xiao Jianping heard this question, his face turned green.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Did you find out about this yesterday? Didn't Old Su tell you?"
"No, someone else told me that."
"Did the news come from Old Su's mother?"
Li Xu shook his head. "I don't know. I haven't asked the source of the information."
Although he knew that the news did come from Su Weidong's mother, he could not admit it.
Even though he didn't get an answer from Li Xu, Xiao Jianping still believed his guess was correct. "It's definitely her. I only told Lao Su about this detailed process. He's not the kind of person who talks too much, but his mother..."
