Chapter 10 It's a Good Thing Anyway

Jiang Ran didn't remember the way he was sent to the hospital. He only knew that in the second before he fell into a coma, what he was thinking about was how to cancel the Taoyuan trilogy.

So stupid.

He felt that his IQ was no longer on the same level as the two brothers.

When he opened his eyes, he found at least a dozen anxious and helpless faces around the hospital bed. Suddenly, he thought he had been amputated.

After flustered for a second or two, he saw the bandage around his wrist.

Mom said it was a broken wrist, a sprained ankle, and a slight concussion.

Jiang Ran moved his fingers and toes and found that they were still responding. He breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. Compared with amputation, a fracture is considered a blessing among misfortunes.

He turned to look at Dou Tianxiao who was closest to his pillow.

Dou Tianxiao's little red face was covered with snot, and the corners of his mouth and T-shirt were covered with scarlet liquid, which looked strange, but upon closer inspection, he found that it was all mulberry juice.

There were still tears in his eyes, probably because he had just been scolded.

Jiang Ran vaguely thought of the two people beating their chests and screaming beside him after he fell, so he wanted to laugh, "Why, I'm not dead."

"Hey! It's unlucky to be dead or not! Tong Yan Wuji Tong Yan Wuji." My aunt rushed to say something.

"Are you okay?" Ye Xi's mouth narrowed. He had just been trained by his mother, and he was still a little emotional, so he awkwardly leaned over to apologize, "I'm really sorry, I'm too heavy."

"Is it too heavy?" His aunt slapped him on the forehead, "Who told you to climb a tree! Ah? You even learned how to pad a chair, why don't you find a ladder!"

"I didn't expect there was a ladder in the house at the time." After Dou Tianxiao said it solemnly, the adults around all snorted and laughed.

"Greedy is really greedy. We were also greedy when we were young. I remember that when I was young, I couldn't eat anything, and I went to dig sweet potatoes in the fields. I washed them and ate them raw." Jiang Qing said with a smile.

Several adults began to reminisce about the glorious past on this topic.

After a while, my aunt asked, "Who came up with the idea of ​​picking mulberries?"

Dou Tianxiao lowered his head and dared not speak anymore, because he was the first to bring up this matter.

The three children looked at each other and none of them took the initiative to admit it. The aunt slapped Ye Xi's head again, "It must be your bad idea!"

Ye Xi covered her head with a look of grievance, but at least she didn't confess Dou Tianxiao along with her. There is still some brotherhood of self-sacrifice and self-sacrifice.

Jiang Ran's father rushed back from the urban area. After hearing Ye Xi's explanation, he suddenly felt that his son was amazing, raised his chin and gave a thumbs up, "Well done son! This kind of self-sacrificing, heroic and fearless The spirit is commendable!…”

Jiang Ran was a little embarrassed by his majestic praise, turned his head and muttered in a low voice, "Hey, don't say it, it's not embarrassing."

"How can this be embarrassing! Of the three children, you are the most obedient and most sensible. If you block our family, Ye Xi may fall into something, and my aunt will also praise me." Take out an old-fashioned floral purse.

Jiang Qing saw that this was the rhythm of red envelopes in the fortress, and immediately stretched out her hand to stop it, "Hey! Good sister, good sister! ——This can't be forced! Children should help each other!"

"Whatever you want, what you want, what you want--a little bit of a little bit, just treat it as medical expenses for Ran Ran." The aunt took out the red envelopes and pulled out a few pieces of Grandpa Mao from the purse.

With a big wave of his hand, Father Jiang joined the refusal camp, trying to put that grandpa Mao back into his skinny purse, "Sister, you can't do it! The child has medical insurance, and it doesn't cost a lot of money to recover. Enough."

"No!" My aunt's face suddenly changed, "This money must be given, children's medical insurance belongs to the medical insurance, a little care, Ran Ran was injured because of our family Ye Xi..."

Several adults huddled together and pushed and shoved. The passing nurse thought it was a fight, so she hurried in and reminded, "Please keep quiet in the ward!"

My aunt ordered in a soft voice, "Hold it, hold it!"

Jiang's mother reluctantly accepted it, and planned to buy some food for the children later.

Dou Tianxiao admired Jiang Ran's courage, and envied him to be praised by adults, and his admiration for him became stronger.

He took out a plump mulberry fruit from his pocket and said, "Brother, do you want to eat it?"

Jiang Ran turned his face away, "Take it away, I don't want to see it again."

"Try one, it's very sweet." Dou Tianxiao fed the small fruit to his mouth, and gently touched his lower lip.

Jiang Ran reluctantly opened his mouth, and found that the taste was really good, and then realized a very serious question, "Have you washed it yet!?"

Dou Tianxiao glanced at his dirty paws - not only did he not wash the mulberry, he didn't even bother to wash his hands.

He put his hands behind his back with lightning speed, but Jiang Ran gave him a ruthless look.

Jiang's mother spent sleepless nights preparing for the psychology exam during May Day, and Ye Xi had to help serve tea and water in the store, so the errand task of delivering meals and feeding was given to Dou Tianxiao, who was not serious.

Dou Tianxiao set off from the shop to the hospital on time at twelve noon every day, set up the small table with ease, rolled up the head of the bed, and sat on the bed to eat with Jiang Ran.

Today's meals are all cooked by my uncle. There are meat, shrimp and bone soup, which suits his taste very well.

He secretly hopes that Jiang Ran can stay in the hospital for a few more days, so that he can eat a few more meals. His dull mind currently thinks that not doing homework is a big delicacy, and he doesn't understand the loneliness of hospitalization at all. and pain.

Dou Tianxiao took a big bite of the rice, and put a piece of evenly fat and thin braised pork into Jiang Ran's bowl, "I really envy you, you don't have to do your homework."

Jiang Ran took a mouthful of rice with a spoon, and Dou Tianxiao flicked the braised pork onto his spoon with great insight.

"My mother said that if you don't study hard, you can't find a good job when you grow up. If you can't find a good job, you won't have money to earn. If you don't earn money, you won't be able to marry a wife." Jiang Ran put the spoon into his mouth.

Dou Tianxiao in the front can understand it, but the matter of marrying a wife is a bit difficult to understand, "What does a wife do?"

"You don't watch TV? All men want to marry a wife, just like my father married my mother." Jiang Ran explained.

Dou Tianxiao was at a loss because he didn't have a TV at home.

There is an old big color TV set in my uncle's shop, but Ye Xi usually occupies the remote control and watches some cartoons, so he has no idea about love and love at all, so he can really be regarded as The only one I read carefully is "Journey to the West".

"Then my father also married my mother?"

"Of course, how did he give birth to you if he didn't marry your mother?" Jiang Ran frowned and teased, "Do you have any female classmates you like in class?"

Dou Tianxiao shook his head without hesitation. Seeing that Jiang Ran had dug another spoonful of rice, he immediately put the peeled shrimp on it, "But my mother said that I was picked up by the trash can."

Jiang Ran was really speechless, "You are stupid, you will believe such words that lie to children."

Dou Tianxiao didn't take it seriously, "Then where do you think I came from?"

"It was born by your mother, from the belly..." Jiang Ran gestured on his belly, "In this way, after a dissection, it was taken out. There is still a scar on my mother's belly, which is the one who gave birth to me." It's time for the doctor to draw."

Dou Tianxiao asked half understandingly: "Then I can have children after I marry a wife?"

"Ah." Jiang Ran nodded.

Dou Tianxiao looked up at Jiang Ran, and suddenly said vowedly: "Then I will marry you in the future, and we will have a child together."

The uncle in the next bed was drinking water, and immediately spewed out when he heard this.

Jiang Ran was stunned and embarrassed for a moment, and when it was over, he frowned and scolded Dou Tianxiao, "Is your head squeezed by the door, why is your logic so arrogant, I'm a man, you It's also a man, who will have a child between us?"

Dou Tianxiao was taken aback by the question. The topic of having a child completely touched the dead end of his knowledge, so he asked the bottom line: "Who will give birth?"

Jiang Ran slapped his forehead and said helplessly, "You are alive!"

The uncle next door raised his head and laughed unscrupulously, unable to calm down for a long time, Jiang Ran was afraid that he would be choked to death by his own saliva.

Jiang Ran's joke fell into Dou Tianxiao's little ears, and after a lot of deliberation, he firmly believed that he would become a rich man when he grew up. In the future, she can marry Jiang Ran and give birth to a baby for Jiang Ran.

The mood is indescribably happy.

Many years later, when I recalled this outrageous idea, I realized that when I was very young, I already had a vague obsession with wanting to spend the rest of my life with Jiang Ran.

Dou Tianxiao imitated Jiang's father who usually took care of Jiang's mother at the dinner table, picked the largest piece of braised pork and put it on Jiang Ran's spoon, and scooped a spoonful of bone soup to drink.

Jiang Ran raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the soup dripping down the corner of his mouth, and quickly took a tissue to block the corner of his mouth, "Is your mouth a funnel?"

Dou Tianxiao grinned and giggled.

In his impression, only grandpa would pay attention to his every move from time to time, wipe away his tears and clean the corners of his mouth. These little cares are precious to him.

So even Jiang Ran's sloppy and rough movements, in his eyes, are filled with infinite warmth.

"Laughing fart?" Jiang Ran casually threw away the ball of paper.

Even though he has been resourceful since he was a child and can read words and deeds, he has never been able to truly read Dou Tianxiao's inner world.

Bumps and bumps in youth seem to be a common occurrence, and recovery is quite fast. Jiang Ran's wrist finally recovered in time for the final exam, but after all, he indulged intentionally or unintentionally for more than a month. Unfortunately, it slipped from the first place in the class to No.4.

For a person who has been ranked number one all year round, this is a particularly severe blow. Jiang Ran suffered from insomnia at a young age.

I spent a whole week thinking behind closed doors at home, and copied the wrong questions hundreds of times as punishment for my carelessness and complacency.

The four big characters "Guard from arrogance and impetuosity" were written on A4 paper with colored pens and pasted on the door of the bedroom.

At the beginning of the holiday, Dou Tianxiao was like a runaway wild horse, either helping his uncle's noodle restaurant or making mischief in his grandfather's factory. Ye Xi had fun everywhere, and once played hide-and-seek in a neighbor's crop field, and stepped on a lot of corn stalks.

Fortunately, it was an "acquaintance committing the crime", and the uncles and aunts of the neighbors didn't blame the grandpa for his face. On the contrary, the grandpa compensated him a little money in embarrassment.

From that day on, he was locked at home, unable to go anywhere, and his days suddenly became boring and boring. Every day, he drew circles on the wall calendar until two days before his birthday, he finally had an inspiration In a flash, he called Jiang Ran and told him to come to his small birthday party.

Jiang Ran agreed without thinking.

On the night before his birthday, Dou Tianxiao was so excited that he couldn't sleep, he got up secretly and made a phone call. At first, it was Jiang's mother who answered the phone. He scratched his head in embarrassment and asked, "Is Jiang Ran here?" ah?"

The phone was on speakerphone, and Jiang Ran was still doing homework in the living room, so he leaned over and said, "Where can I be if I'm not at home at night."

Dou Tianxiao smiled and reminded solemnly: "You must come tomorrow night! My uncle said he would buy us a super huge cake."

"I know, I'm definitely going, don't worry." Jiang Ran yawned, "I'm dead."

Dou Tianxiao hurriedly added, "Then you come here early, let's play together, I'll wait for you at home."

"Well, bye." Jiang Ran hung up the phone after hearing the other party's response.

If he had been right next to Dou Tianxiao at that time, he would have definitely seen the kind of heart-wrenching little eyes in his eyes, like a puppy looking forward to its master's return home, shining brightly in the light of the moon of gloss.

Jiang Ran is a little obsessive-compulsive, and he is more rigorous in his work—at least in the eyes of his teachers and classmates.

He has a very unique learning method. He has learned from his mother since the third grade. He has made detailed plans for his spare time. He has formulated a complete study plan from the first day of summer vacation. He would not go out before, so he was delayed by a difficult math problem that day.

He and his mother searched and brainstormed for a long time, and finally compromised and called the math teacher for advice-the result was that the answer was printed wrong.

On the other side, Dou Tianxiao was looking forward to the whole afternoon, until the sunset in the west was full of rays of light, and the smell of food wafted from the kitchen at home. gift boxes.

Ye Xi's birthday gift was a transformable pencil case. At that time, this thing was a luxury item in the eyes of children. Dou Tianxiao let out a "wow" and cast amazed and envious eyes.

He was just about to open his gift box, Jiang Ran hurriedly pressed his paw, "You can open it after I leave."

"What is it? It's so mysterious." Dou Tianxiao asked expectantly.

"Anyway, it's a good thing." Jiang Ran's eyes flashed an imperceptible smugness.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a motorcycle sounded behind him, and the sound was getting closer and closer to him.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of warm yellow light hit Jiang Ran's body, and the three of them raised their eyes at the same time and stepped aside.

Standing beside Jiang Ran, Dou Tianxiao saw his mother jump off a strange man's motorcycle.

His mother was wearing a long beige floral dress that he had never seen before, and there was a rare, heartfelt smile on the corner of her mouth. After getting off the car, she seemed to glance at the man with nostalgia, her expression was rare and focused and gentle.
