Chapter 60 She needs to exercise
"Grandpa, have some porridge first." At this time, Xiaodouzi had cooked the porridge and fed it to his grandfather little by little with a spoon. Seeing this heartwarming scene, Li Meng felt a little sad. No matter what, as long as there are family members around, it is not hard. Looking at this strong grandfather and grandson, isn't it like this!
I really miss Pei Yu at this moment. What’s going on? Have you unconsciously classified him as a family member? Maybe I also long to have my own home in this era!
"Sister, your rice is so good. The porridge cooked with it is very fragrant." Xiaodouzi's voice interrupted Li Meng's thoughts. After coming to her senses, she took out the anti-inflammatory drugs, antipyretic drugs and cough syrups that she was going to take and placed them on the table, and wrote down the instructions for taking them!
Xiaodouzi doesn’t know how to thank Li Meng. If he hadn’t met the kind sister today, he doesn’t know how long his grandfather’s illness would have lasted. He is grateful to her from the bottom of his heart!
"Remember to eat some porridge. I'll come to see you when I'm free next week." Li Meng liked this filial and well-behaved child very much, and she spoke softly unconsciously.
Seeing that the old man had already taken the medicine, Li Meng explained how to take it and left him a week's supply of the medicine. Then he decided to go to the black market to find Sister Hong. If he delayed any further, he would miss the ox cart.
Xiao Douzi sent Li Meng to the door and said goodbye to Li Meng reluctantly. Li Meng also promised him that she would come next weekend!
Li Meng walked out of the residential area and came to the black market. The two people on guard saw her and greeted her respectfully. After the greetings, Li Meng walked outside the yard and knocked on the door.
"Who's here? There's footsteps coming from inside, and then the door is opened.
"Oh hello, it's Sister Li, Sister Hong, Sister Li is here." It was Dali who opened the door. When he saw it was Li Meng, he shouted loudly towards the room in the yard. Sister Hong heard the voice and hurried out.
"How come you have time to come and see me, your sister today?" Honglian walked forward and pulled Li Meng into the house, and Dali hurried to pour tea.
"Come, Sister Li, drink some hot water to warm yourself up. You must be cold after the journey. Have you eaten? Do you want me to get you something to eat first?" Honglian asked with a smile as she handed him a cup of hot tea.
"Sister Hong, you don't have to work so hard. I'll come to you to help you with something." Li Meng took a sip of hot water from the cup.
"Just tell me, sister. If I can do it, I will definitely do it beautifully for you," Honglian replied with a smile.
Then Li Meng told her that she wanted to rent a house. She could rent it or buy it if the price was right. She also told Hongjie her requirements, and Honglian promised to get it done for her.
"Sister Hong, I agreed to what you said last time. As long as the house issue is finalized, we can put the goods directly in it and you can go and get them by yourselves." After saying this, Li Meng drank the hot water in the cup. She was really thirsty. She had said so many things, but she only drank water now!
Dali saw that Li Meng's cup was empty, and he was very considerate and gave her another cup of hot tea.
"Okay then, when can you come back when you are free?" Honglian asked.
"I can only come on weekends, so let's say next Saturday. I have to substitute teach in an elementary school recently, so I don't have time to come on weekdays. I'm sorry to trouble you. Thank you in advance." Li Meng raised the cup in his hand and made a clinking gesture in the direction of Sister Hong. Honglian responded with a smile and finished the tea in her hand.
"Then I'll leave first. I've been out for a while. If I don't leave now, I will miss the ox cart. The old man driving the cart will scold me." Li Meng smiled and blinked mischievously.
"Okay then, I won't keep you here. Next time you come, I'll let you have a meal." Honglian smiled and sent Li Meng to the door, and they waved goodbye.
When she walked out of the black market, Li Meng thought of the quilt that Xiaodouzi’s grandfather had covered himself with before. It was light-transmitting, so it was definitely not warm. The weather was getting colder, especially at night. Even a healthy body could not bear it without a thick quilt. So she went to Xiaodouzi’s house again, and in a hidden corner, under the cover of Dandan, she took out a thick quilt and a thick mattress, and gave a cotton-padded jacket to the old man and Xiaodouzi respectively, and then knocked on the door of Xiaodouzi’s house. A long, long time later, a man standing on the podium still remembered how much warmth this new cotton-padded jacket brought him!
"Sister, didn't you go home?" Xiaodouzi opened the door and was surprised to see Li Meng.
"I can't come back again, hurry up, I'm so tired." Li Meng gave Xiao Douzi another head bang with her empty hand and stuffed the quilt on her back to Xiao Douzi.
"How is Grandpa? Has the fever subsided?" Li Meng walked into the room and saw the old man looking at her with a smile and immediately asked,
"Much better. I don't feel so uncomfortable anymore," the old man answered truthfully. Li Meng asked Xiao Douzi to help grandpa get out of bed, and then put the mattress on the bed and a thick quilt on top. Then he helped the old man lie down on the bed.
The old man was sleeping on a soft mattress covered with a thick quilt, as if he was dreaming. It had been a long time since he had slept on such a soft bed. Thinking of what he had experienced before, his eyes could not help but become red!
"Grandpa, Xiaodouzi, these are cotton-padded jackets for both of you. The weather is getting colder and colder. You will get sick if you don't dress warmly. Don't feel psychologically burdened. Xiaodouzi will return them to me when he grows up, right?" After saying that, he signaled Xiaodouzi to speak with his eyes!
"Yes, when I grow up, I will pay my sister back double," Xiao Douzi promised in a trembling voice, holding back the tears that were about to fall. Seeing the new cotton-padded clothes on the bed, this was something he had never dared to think about before. Even if it was very cold, he got frostbite on his hands and feet. In order not to put pressure on his grandfather, he did not say anything. His grandfather's salary as a street sweeper was enough to barely feed him, so how could he make new clothes? It was something he had never dared to think about.
"Grandpa, then you should have a good rest and take your medicine on time. I'll leave first, otherwise we really won't be able to catch up with the ox cart," Li Meng said goodbye to the grandfather and grandson and ran towards the ox cart.
Watching the figure in front of him getting farther and farther away until it was out of sight, Xiao Douzi closed the door and returned home. He changed into the new cotton-padded clothes that Li Meng had given him and his eyes couldn't help but tear up.
Wearing it, it felt soft and warm, and it warmed his young heart.
"Xiaodouzi, you must remember the kindness of this sister. If she needs help in the future, we must do our best to help her. We must never forget to repay a drop of kindness with a spring of water!" The old man looked at his little grandson with loving eyes and said earnestly.
"I will. When I grow up and have the ability, I will pay back sister double," Xiaodouzi said in a firm tone, secretly looking forward to the next visit of his sister.
Li Meng, who was jogging all the way, was the last one to arrive. He ran to the ox cart and was panting. It was really due to lack of exercise. He was like this after only running a short distance. He really needs to exercise more in the future!
"Some people have no sense of time at all. Do you have the nerve to make so many people wait for you?" Liu Huan sneered.
"I don't know who was late last time, and she still has the nerve to blame others, bah! Although I am exhausted after running all the way here, if there is still someone who speaks badly, I don't mind slapping her a few times. I still have the strength to do that," Li Meng crossed her hands together and made a crackling sound!
