one punch

The dating affair was exposed at the very beginning, which was unexpected by Dou Tianxiao.

Ye Xi boasted that his eyes were so sharp that no monsters could escape his grasp, but he really didn't think of his younger brother and Jiang Ran at all.

Who would have thought that Guan Yu and Liu Bei would fall in love! ?

For the first time, he smoked a whole cigarette in front of his brother, and then patted his brother on the shoulder, "Actually, it's nothing. You can break through the shackles of the world and have the courage to choose true love. Brother supports you."

"Thank you." Dou Tianxiao was so moved that he didn't know what to say.

After Ye Xi finished speaking, he slapped Jiang Ran's side, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your willingness to eliminate harm for the people."

Dou Tianxiao rewarded him with an elbow, and then heard Jiang Ran respond in a low voice, "You're welcome."

When Ye Xi wanted to take out his cigarettes again, Dou Tianxiao stopped him, "When did you learn to smoke? Why are you still smoking one after another?"

"The bombs thrown at me by the sky are still one after another!" Ye Xi finally put the cigarette back, "Come back to business, when did you two get married? Why didn't you have any signs, and didn't bring such a stimulus to me? .”

Jiang Ran and Dou Tianxiao looked at each other, "It's just... what happened last night."

"Okay, you guys, it really opened my eyes, I haven't seen a live gay yet." Ye Xi said.

"I'm not gay." Dou Tianxiao pursed his lips.

Ye Xi naturally understood the meaning of his words, if it were another boy, his brother would not be moved.

"The rabbit still doesn't eat the grass by the side of the nest, you two are together, how embarrassing it is to break up later."

"Can you talk!" Jiang Ran and Dou Tianxiao scolded at the same time.

Ye Xi hugged her head, "Okay, okay, later, if you two quarreled, I will definitely try to persuade you to break up in the middle - oh no, to persuade you to make peace and not to persuade you to break up."

Another beating came.

After twelve o'clock, there were only a few of them left in the corridor.

Ye Xi said: "You guys go back to sleep first, it's useless to guard here, if grandpa wakes up tomorrow morning, I'll call you."

Dou Tianxiao shook his head, "No, I won't be able to fall asleep even if I go back. I just want to stay here with Grandpa. There are so many people watching outside, so he must be reluctant to fall asleep like this."

"Then I will accompany you too." Jiang Ran said.

The hospital's wards and duty rooms are all air-conditioned, and the corridors are not too cold.

The three brothers chatted together for several hours, most of which were about childhood.

"That would really be nothing to worry about." Ye Xi sighed.

"When I was young, I thought that my aunt would always be so nagging and caring about me, that my grandfather would always be healthy and never grow old, and that my uncle's noodle shop would always be open..."

But for some reason, everything changed.

At three o'clock, Dou Tianxiao felt a little sleepy, so he lay down on the stool to sleep, Jiang Ran took off his coat and put it on him.

Ye Xi dozed off twice, and after waking up, hid in the small park downstairs of the hospital to smoke.

He is not a big smoker, and sometimes he might not be able to finish a pack of cigarettes for half a month, so no one would dare to challenge him at school if he pretended to be aggressive.

But now that Grandpa passed out, the pack of cigarettes in his pocket has almost run out.

In fact, compared to his father, he felt that his grandfather was more like the backbone of the family.

When he was young, his grandfather brought him and his younger brother up single-handedly, cooking and washing clothes, taking them to and from school, day after day, year after year.

Grandpa should be the most persistent person in the family. His only goal in life seems to be to make money and support the family. Even if he is fired from the factory, he can start a new business. Nor is it less than a unit.

He never knew how to enjoy life, thinking that it was something for young people.

In the early years, the family hadn't bought a house yet, and he had saved some money, so he wasn't willing to buy a piece of clothes for himself.

One time when he came home from winter vacation, he saw his grandfather took off his shoes and prepared to soak his feet. The socks were patched, and his toes were covered with chilblains.

Later, he and his younger brother learned how to make money, and bought new clothes and socks for grandpa, and those new clothes would only be worn for a few days when visiting relatives during festivals and festivals, and then washed and treated as treasures. Put it back in the closet.

Grandpa has never been lazy to eat in restaurants, and he has never had any hobbies that cost money. He thinks that those are only things that rich people do.

He is such an extremely economical person, who prepares a big red envelope for him and his younger brother every Chinese New Year. When school starts, he will stubbornly prepare a lot of bread, snacks and fruits for them, and take them to restaurants in the city. Rub it.

Mom and Dad sometimes swear, but Grandpa never does.

He has a good temper and endures the rebellion and ignorance of him and his younger brother, and endures many injustices in this world.

I'm almost seventy, and I'm still building a greenhouse in the field, and I'm going to plant some strawberries for my younger brother to eat.

It was my brother's favorite.

He seems to be living a happy life, but he lives harder and suffers than everyone else.

He couldn't imagine what would happen to him and the family if his grandfather fell ill.

Some things that he didn't want to think about and didn't even dare to imagine before now all came to him in front of him.

From childhood to adulthood, many relatives around him passed away, but he always felt that death was very far away from him, very far away, and it was not his own family's turn.

But now that my father is suffering from cancer, and my grandfather fell down and fell into a coma, he suddenly realized that disasters don't matter whether you are mentally prepared or not, they come whenever you want.

God seemed to be forcing him to accept the fact that grandpa was really old, old, and would inevitably leave, it was just a matter of time.

When Jiang Ran walked over, his footsteps were so soft that he accidentally saw Ye Xi secretly wiping tears.

"Why did you come out?" Ye Xi turned her head, speaking with a strong nasal voice, "If you wear so little, you may catch a cold."

"Xiaoxiao fell asleep, so I came out and wandered around." Jiang Ran sat on a bench in the park.

The moon is about to set, and if the weather forecast is accurate, tomorrow will be sunny.

"From now on, we will really be a family. If you have any difficulties, just ask." Jiang Ran said suddenly.

Ye Xi was originally in a bad mood, so she couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

"My ugly words are up front. You are not allowed to bully my brother in the future. If you see him crying and going back to your mother's house one day, I will never finish with you."

Jiang Ran also laughed, "How dare you."

After the whole family kept praying and looking forward to it, my grandfather finally woke up at noon the next day.

The intensive care unit was only open for half an hour in the afternoon to allow family members to visit. When Dou Tianxiao entered, he saw his grandfather nodding and smiling at him, and his hanging heart finally eased a little.

Grandpa had an oxygen mask on his face, and he didn't have the energy to speak. He was sickly, as if he had aged for many years.

After the visit was over, the doctor took the family members to the office again, "To be honest, his current situation is not too optimistic. The stroke is accompanied by certain sequelae, and now half of his body has no response."

"What, what do you mean?" My aunt's tongue was tied up, "You mean he might just be paralyzed like that?"

The doctor nodded, "We suggest to do some rehabilitation first, and see the effect in a few months. If the effect is satisfactory, you may be able to stand up again, but you need to be able to run and jump like a normal person. , it is not realistic, your family members must first have a psychological preparation."

The doctor's words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting everyone's foreheads.

Dou Tianxiao's mind was empty for a while before he digested these words.

Grandpa's legs can't walk anymore?

Then grandpa will have a miserable life in the days to come...

He stood outside the door of the intensive care unit and looked in. He couldn't help crying when he saw it.

Grandpa has worked so hard all his life, but he hasn't started to enjoy the blessings yet. Why is it like this.

Jiang Ran went downstairs to buy a bottle of water, went up to look for a long time but found no one, and no one answered the phone, and finally heard the voice in the toilet cubicle.

Very low sniffling.

Jiang Ran knocked on the door, and there was a pause when he heard sobbing.

"Someone." Dou Tianxiao wiped away tears.

"It's me." Jiang Ran said, "Open the door."

"You wait." Dou Tianxiao sniffed, tears still falling down uncontrollably.

Jiang Ran stuffed the tissue under the door, and two seconds later, the door of the compartment was opened.

In just a few minutes, Dou Tianxiao's eyes were already swollen.

It's exactly the same as when I got lost when I was a child.

It looks so helpless.

Jiang Ran kept handing him his sleeves to wipe his tears, and when the sleeves got wet, he had to wipe them with his hands.

Dou Tianxiao's tears couldn't stop as soon as he opened the gate, Jiang Ran's chest felt as if it was stuffed with a ball of cotton, it was extremely uncomfortable.

"How could this happen!..." Dou Tianxiao turned around and hugged Jiang Ran, his voice became intermittent because of sobbing.

Jiang Ran patted him on the back lightly. Fortunately, the toilet environment in this hospital is not bad, so there is no need to hold your breath.

"Don't worry too much. Didn't the doctor tell you that you have to go to rehabilitation for a few months? Maybe you can stand up again. You have to learn to think in a positive way."

Dou Tianxiao kept sobbing, his eyes were as red as rabbits, "Will you?"

"Of course." Jiang Ran pulled him aside and analyzed them in detail, "First of all, you have to hire a nurse to take care of your grandfather, you are about to start school now, and if you don't have time to take care of him, you can transfer him to the city after a while The hospital, so that you and Ye Xi can go there to help take care of her when you are free."

"If it's too late, I'll put off the job at the boxing gym. The salary can be deducted from my pocket money, and your appetite is about the same as Xiaotu. I think it's okay for me to support you." Jiang Ran said.

Dou Tianxiao really admired him, he was able to talk about the romantic love so plainly that there is no other person in the whole world.

"How is it?" Jiang Ran asked further.

Dou Tianxiao wiped his face. If the toilet cubicle was not too small to use it, he really wanted to push Jiang Ran to the ground and kiss him wildly.

Jiang Ran's calmness and foresight made him gradually transition from complaining to accepting the facts. Things are already like this, so what's the use of crying louder?

He began to think seriously about Jiang Ran's suggestion, and felt that the most important thing right now was to find a caregiver for grandpa. No one in this family should be exhausted.

Fortunately, Dou Tianxiao earned some money from boxing, which was enough for medical expenses and nursing care.

A few days after school started, my grandfather was transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward.

My uncle was going to undergo a second course of chemotherapy at the People's Hospital in the urban area. In order to facilitate care, they arranged for my grandfather to be treated at a hospital in the city center.

After a period of turmoil, the days gradually returned to the calm of the past, but everyone became busier.

In order to save money, my aunt learned to ride a bicycle. She swiped her citizen card every day to borrow a car, and rode directly to the hospital. In this way, she could save more than ten yuan a day.

Also in order to save money, my grandfather applied for discharge from the hospital not long after.

There happened to be a shower on the day he was discharged from the hospital. My aunt planned to let him stay in the hospital for a few more days and go home when the weather cleared up, but no one could hold him back.

It was raining lightly, Ye Xi was holding an umbrella, Dou Tianxiao carried his grandfather into the rental, and carried him from downstairs to upstairs.

This is the first time in his life that he carried his grandfather behind his back.

Grandpa's weight was lighter than he imagined, and his legs felt almost like bones.

He also heard his grandfather say, "Thanks for your hard work, Xiaodouzi."

Dou Tianxiao's throat choked.

How can it be hard.

When I was young, in the wind and rain, you recited me countless times.

After my grandfather was discharged from the hospital, he was still actively taking medicine for treatment. His left half of his body was still conscious, and he could sit up from the bed by himself, and then slowly moved to the living room while leaning on the wall. But it was just a few simple movements. It would take him nearly half an hour, and it almost exhausted all his strength.

Dou Tianxiao was afraid that he would be too tired, so he wanted to bring the food directly to his bed to eat, but his grandfather disagreed, "What is the difference between that and a dead person?"

Grandpa's stubbornness seems to be stronger than before the wrestling. No one in the family can hold him back, but in fact, everyone knows that he is so persistent because he hopes to stand up earlier and save the family.

Dou Tianxiao was afraid that he would be bored lying at home, so he bought him a wheelchair so that when the weather was good, Grandpa could go to the balcony to bask in the sun and tease Xiaotu.

In addition to providing food for grandpa and uncle, my aunt also found a part-time job as a cleaner in the hospital.

But no one knew about this job except my uncle.

It was inconvenient for her to wash and wipe her body alone, so it naturally fell on the two younger ones.

In order to have more time to take care of his grandfather, Ye Xi simply quit the school dormitory and pedaled his bicycle like a hot wheel every day after school.

Unable to buy goods regularly and set up a stall, but the family situation forced him to look for money, so Ye Xi had to find another way out.

There is a student in their class whose family owns a stationery store. A while ago, he saw her taking out her camera and posing for a bunch of pencils and erasers every day after class. When he asked her casually, he found a new way to make money—— Open an online store.

"It's actually quite simple. You just need to apply for an account, bind a bank card, pay a deposit, and update it on the shelves. But your photos need to be better..."

Ye Xi chatted with his classmates about their business experience all afternoon.

So on a Saturday afternoon, he told Jiang Ran and the others about his plan to open an online store.

"I have already inquired with my classmate in detail. Her online store has been open for less than a year, and her current income is higher than that of the physical store. The daily turnover of 35 is stable. Her family does not use outsiders. , all their family members pack and deliver the goods by themselves, so excluding about [-]% of the cost, the daily net profit will be one thousand!" Ye Xi's eyes were shining when he said this.

"Isn't it to fool you?" Dou Tianxiao said.

"No, I think she takes pictures whenever she has time during the day. She has been busy for a while, and it's no good for her to lie to me." Ye Xi took out his classmate's set of arguments and rubbed it against Dou Tianxiao. again.

Dou Tianxiao didn't know much about online shopping, so he had to turn his attention to the most educated one among them.

Jiang Ran thought for a while and said: "I think we can consider it. The online shopping industry has just emerged and is growing at a very fast pace. It may be a good time to join now. In fact, there are classmates around me who are opening online stores, and the monthly sales are thousands. It’s not too much, I’ll go and ask you for advice and experience, it shouldn’t be difficult.”

Ye Xi nodded sharply.

Jiang Ran has always done what he said, and immediately asked his friends to borrow some books about e-commerce after returning home.

In the process of his explanation and analysis, Dou Tianxiao also had a general understanding of online shopping.

It was only after his in-depth understanding that he discovered that a series of operations such as submitting a deposit, opening a store, purchasing goods, launching new products, and promoting products are cumbersome and require a large amount of start-up capital.

At first, Ye Xi only wanted to clear some of the inventory on the Internet, but he didn't think so much. After Jiang Ran's analysis, he had the idea of ​​shrinking back.

"If I use this money to purchase products for promotion, I will have no money." Ye Xi said.

Jiang Ran thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. I'll invest in shares. I still have more than 1 lucky money deposited in the bank. I'll withdraw it in two days. My dad will have a rest tomorrow. I'll discuss with him to see if I can invest some money." .”

When Dou Tianxiao heard this, he immediately raised his hand, "Then I want to invest too!"

"You're a fart. You're almost in your third year of high school. Thinking about how to improve your grades is the most important thing right now." Jiang Ran pressed his paw back without hesitation.

Seeing the little boyfriend's mouth deflate, he leaned over and whispered again: "Silly, what's mine is yours, what are you arguing with?"
