Compared with her two sons, Liu Guiying seemed particularly calm.
Since she fell ill last year, almost all of our family savings have been used to pay for her medical treatment and medicine.
The eldest son was the only labor force in the family, and he had to secretly sell half of the food he earned for fear that he would run out of money for her medicine.
Looking at her two sons who were so skinny that their bones were visible, she really couldn't bear it!
She stroked her little son's head and said in a hoarse voice,
"Don't cry, it's good that mom is gone! She won't be a burden to you two anymore."
Liu Guiying said as she looked at Zhao Wu who was lying helpless on the ground, a faint smile appeared on her face.
"Your brother has grown up and become a man! Even though you lost your mother, he will definitely make sure you have enough food to eat and raise you to adulthood!"
Lan Guoer looked at the three of them performing a life and death separation in front of her and shook her head helplessly! Did she say that this disease cannot be cured?
"Okay! Did you come to me to see a doctor? Or to listen to my verdict?"
Lan Guoer's crisp voice rang out, and the Zhao family mother and son seemed to be suddenly awakened and looked at her at the same time.
"See a doctor! Of course we are here to see a doctor!"
Zhao Wu seemed to react and understood the meaning of Lan Guoer's words. He knelt down and hugged Lan Guoer's calf. "Doctor, you are saying that my mother's illness can still be cured, right?"
Lan Guoer frowned and looked at her trapped legs. "If you're like this, I can't move even if I want to save you!"
Zhao Wu then noticed his own actions. He quickly let go of Lan Guoer and wiped the tears from his face.
"Doctor, I know this disease will cost a lot of money. I...my family can't afford it right now, but...please believe me! I will definitely be able to earn the money. Please...please treat my mother!"
"Please ask the fairy sister to cure my mother's illness!" The younger brother Zhao Wen pouted and echoed with tears in his eyes.
Lan Guoer saw that his little hands were tightly grasping the corner of her clothes, and his tender little face was full of pleading. She stretched out her hand and rubbed his somewhat dry and yellow hair.
"Don't worry! Your mom will be fine."
When Liu Guiying heard Lan Guoer say that her disease could be cured, her eyes lit up instantly and tears began to well up in her eyes. She held Lan Guoer's hand tightly, as if she had grabbed the last straw to save her life.
"Really? Can I still be saved?"
Her voice trembled. If she could survive, how could she bear to leave her two sons? She wanted to accompany them to grow up, watch them get married, have children, and start a family.
Lan Guoer nodded, her eyes firm.
Then she turned and went out, and when she came back, she had a few more white medicine bottles in her hands.
"Take this bottle three times a day after meals. This bottle..."
Lan Guoer carefully explained the usage and dosage of the medicine, then thought of something and took out a few kilograms of rice from the kitchen.
"You need to keep up with your nutrition while taking the medicine! Take this rice first. When you make money later, you can pay me back along with the medicine!"
Lan Guoer handed the rice to Zhao Wu as she spoke. "Send the Buddha to the west!" Lan Guoer didn't expect anything in return. She wasn't a saint, she just felt that a few kilograms of rice was nothing compared to a life!
Everyone encounters difficulties sometimes, and giving a helping hand may change a person's destiny.
Zhao Wu looked at the heavy bag of rice in his hand with red eyes, and a long-lost warmth surged in his heart.
Ever since their father passed away, their grandparents and uncles have started to look down on them, scolding them for earning so little and eating so much!
Especially when his mother was seriously ill, those people ruthlessly drove the three of them out of the house.
Grandma and uncle also avoided them! They even wanted to cut off all ties with them and never have any contact with them until they died.
This made the young boy feel that the world was inherently cold and heartless! When he could no longer bear it, he even had thoughts of suicide, thinking that life was too worthless.
But today, this kind sister is like the warm sunshine in winter, illuminating the darkest corner of his heart.
He couldn't help but kneel down at Lan Guo'er's feet again, tears rolling down his face.
"Doctor sister, I heard from my benefactor that you will be leaving soon. If there is anything you need from Zhao Wu, just ask. I will go through fire and water, even if it means costing my life, Zhao Wu will do it for me!"
Lan Guoer watched his movements and had no choice but to help him up. She thought to herself that Zhao Wu did have some of the heroic spirit of a man of the world, and was also a man who knew how to be grateful.
And she was short of manpower at that time, if...
Thinking that the 1978 conference was about to be held and the flow of personnel would be much easier afterwards, Lan Guoer made a plan in her mind.
"Take your mother back first and take good care of her for the next two days. Come back here to see me in a couple of days. I might have something for you to do then."
Zhao Wu nodded repeatedly!
Zhao Wu would love to be able to work for the fairy sister!
Before lunch, the Third Master came back from outside with three mud monkeys.
"Mom, look, this is Lie Nie's Xiao Hong Hong. Come and see if it looks like her. Does it look like Xiao Hong Hong?"
Xiao Lie stretched out his little mud hand towards Lan Guoer, with a ball of red mud in his palm.
Lan Guoer looked left and right but could not see any trace of the tiger cub. Then she looked at her second son who looked like he was begging for praise. She pointed at the ball of red mud helplessly.
"Our Xiaolie has pinched Xiaohonghong's butt until it's so round and plump, so cute!"
Lan Guoer thought that the little guy would jump up and down and cheer as usual when he was praised, but the little guy stared at the red mud in his hand, pouted his lips, and started to cry out in grievance.
Lan Guoer didn't understand what was going on. Seeing the little guy crying more and more aggrievedly, she quickly took him in her arms and turned to look at her eldest son in confusion.
"Mom, that's not Little Red's butt you're pointing at, that's its head! Look carefully, there's a 'king' character on it!"
Xiao Ling explained seriously.
Lan Guoer: “…”
She is short-sighted!
Also, isn't it time for her to cultivate some artistic "bacteria" in the little one? Little Honghong, with her adorable appearance, is no different from a pile of poop in the eyes of her second son...
Fortunately, the little guy was easy to coax. After Lan Guoer praised him, hugged him and lifted him up high, the little guy "forgave" her and ran to show off his little red flower to Tang's mother and old man Tang.
"Third uncle, were you the one who asked Zhao Wu to come to see me?" Lan Guoer asked.
The Third Master nodded and recounted the story of how he and Tang Zhan met Zhao Wu in the town, saying,
“That boy is quite skilled. Even though I haven’t seen him many times, I can tell he has good character!
Your grandpa used to say that in life, character comes first, ability comes second! If our Lan family wants to regroup, we need someone to use! "
Lan Guoer didn't expect that the Third Master had the same idea as her!
"So what are your plans for him?"
