"Uncle Zhong, it turns out that you came here to be an administrator to look for your nephew and daughter-in-law?" Yue Tong said with a smile.

Uncle Zhong smiles without saying anything. Just when Letong thinks this topic is going to end, uncle Zhong suddenly asks, "why don't you two make an appointment to meet tomorrow?"

Yue Tong was startled, holding the cup in both hands. He was very embarrassed, "Uncle Zhong, this..."

As soon as Uncle Zhong saw her expression, he seemed to understand something. With a look of regret, he reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

"Well, I said, a girl like you can't have a boyfriend."

In fact, Letong wants to say that I don't want to think about feelings for the moment. However, since uncle Zhong misunderstood, it seems good to let him misunderstand like this.

"I'm sorry, uncle Zhong!"

"Silly girl, what's wrong with this? I'm sorry. I think my nephew is very good. He should match you very well. It's a pity!"

Le Tong smiles, "yes, it's a pity that such a good man is not mine."

For Letong, marriage and family are all things she dare not think of.

Just like in those days, she did not dare to cry and could not cry.

"Uncle..." someone at the counter wants to borrow books. He shouts to this side. Uncle Zhong gets up and trots over.

After dinner time, there are more and more people in the library. Uncle Zhong has no time to come to talk to Letong.

Letong stayed in the library until nearly nine o'clock, took two books and went through the book borrowing procedure.

Uncle Zhong lowered his head to help her register, but he asked, "Tong Tong, when will you come next time? I'll let my girl bake some biscuits and bring them here."

Uncle Zhong is very thoughtful. I still remember that Letong likes to eat those fragrant and crisp biscuits.

"I'll call you before I come." Yue Tong is not polite either. She takes the book and waves with Uncle Zhong and goes out.

The library is two stops away from Letong's apartment. Instead of taking a bus, Letong wraps her face with a scarf, leaving only her nose and eyes. She holds the book in her arms and walks slowly in the cold wind of the night.

After being robbed a few days ago, Letong became very careful. In her backpack, she only put some small things such as paper towels, combs and wallets with only tens of yuan of change.

At nine o'clock, Letong returns to the entrance of the alley and smells the smell of baked sweet potato. She is only fed a loaf of bread by the host and barks at the right time.

"Give me a sweet potato."

Letong thinks the man who baked sweet potato is a little familiar. For a while, she can't remember who this man is.

"Ah?! It's you, right after work? " The man seems to recognize her, look at her smile, put the warm sweet potato in a paper bag and put it into her hand.

"Who are you?" Letong takes a serious look at the man in his thirties.

"Oh... I live opposite your house and have moved here for more than a month..."

Letong then remembered that someone was walking around in the empty apartment opposite, and she heard the cry of the child from time to time. However, she didn't see each other face to face.

"Oh, Hello! How much is it? " Letong lowers her head and takes out her wallet.

"No, it's not worth a few dollars. I'll treat you to it. My baby cries every night and quarrels with you, right? I'm sorry... "

This man is an honest man, a few people even rely on this baked sweet potato stall to earn some living expenses. What's the point of Letong?

He lowered his head, took out ten yuan from his wallet, put it down, turned around and left.

"Ah... Ah... Big sister..."

Letong doesn't pay attention to him any more. She comes home with the warm sweet potato. She doesn't care to take a bath. She eats the delicious sweet potato first, and then goes to take a bath contentedly. Then she reads in bed.

……

The next morning, Letong got up early because she was going to visit luoyuan'er's house today.

As I brush my teeth, I hear a faint cry of a child, which is probably from the child of the opposite family.

After breakfast, Letong carries her backpack and goes out.

As soon as the door was opened, the sound of crying came in.

Letong looked up and saw that the door of the opposite house was wide open. A woman in her thirties with disordered hair was walking up and down the corridor with a crying child on her back, patting her hand.

See Le Tong come out, on the face slightly have a little timid idea, "younger sister... Excuse me, WA Er is noisy you?"

Yue Tong shook his head, "no, I'm just going out. What's the matter with the kids? Why are you crying so much? "

Letong naturally walks over and sees that the child is crying and his face is red. He feels that something is wrong and reaches out to touch the child's forehead.

This touch, the hot temperature on the hand scared Letong.

"Elder sister, your child seems to have a high fever!"

The woman was embarrassed and nodded, "it's a little..."

"Why don't you take her to the doctor?" Letong thinks it's incredible to be a mother. When the child is burned like that, do you still want to endure it for a while?

The woman looked at her in embarrassment, "her father came out... I... I have no money..."

Letong had already closed the door. After hearing what she said, she immediately opened the door and ran home with a card.

"Sister, let's go. I'll accompany you to the hospital."

"But..." the woman hesitated.

"Don't dawdle, elder sister. I'll lend you the money first. The child has a severe fever. If it's too late, it will delay his illness."

Le tong can't help but put her door area, holding the elder sister's arm to go to the stairwell.

"Acute pneumonia, thanks to come early, later on trouble, so, also have to be hospitalized."

Half an hour later, the doctor diagnosed the child and came to this conclusion.

Letong helped the woman pay a deposit of 1000 yuan, and accompanied her to the inpatient department with her children.

"Sister, thank you so much today. I'll pay you back as soon as possible." The simple woman nodded her thanks.

Le Tong patted the woman's hand, "don't worry, you take good care of the children first."

A few years ago, her mother's illness was very sudden and urgent. Therefore, Letong knew more about women's situation and mood than anyone else.

Luo yuan'er's phone calls for the nth time. Before that, Le Tong didn't listen to her phone because she had been busy collecting money for the child's registration and going through the hospitalization procedures.

"Tong Tong, you scared me to death! He said he would come here at ten o'clock, but he didn't see anyone and didn't answer the phone. What happened? " Luo yuan'er is very worried over the phone.

"Yuan'er, I've just been delayed by something. I'll go there right now to meet and talk."

Letong didn't wait for Luo yuan'er to say anything, so she hung up.

"Sister, I'm sorry to delay your business, right?" The woman's face was cramped and apologetic.

"It's OK. I'll go first. Elder sister, take good care of the children."

After Luo yuan'er and Le Tong met, Le Tong said something about it. Luo yuan'er patted her head, "are you not afraid of being cheated?"

Yue Tong was silent for a moment and said, "even if it's a cheat, it's only a thousand yuan, but it's a life..."
