Chapter 5 Recovering from a Serious Illness
After a while of silence, Zhang Ran slowly handed the pot to the little girl and said softly: "Sui'er, come and eat it! My brother is just recovering from a serious illness and has a bad appetite. He can't eat too much, otherwise his stomach will not be able to bear it. Just think it's helping his brother?"
"Gudong~"
The little girl stared at the pottery jar tightly and swallowed involuntarily. Her bright eyes emitted a ray of extreme desire. But even so, she did not dare to reach her hand towards the pottery jar in Zhang Ran's hand, but quickly turned her head and looked at her mother beside her with inquiring eyes.
"Hold it!" Zhang Li hesitated for a moment, but in the end he couldn't resist his daughter's begging gaze. Finally, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
After obtaining the consent of her mother, the little girl cheered, rushed out from behind her with a "swoosh", and came to Zhang Ran in two steps, and quickly took the pottery jar from Zhang Ran to her hand.
Then he said to Zhang Ran happily, "Thank you brother!", then raised the jar, aimed it at its dirty little face, and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.
The clay pot is actually not too big, it can only hold about one pound of things. In addition, Zhang Ran drank some of it himself, and the remaining one was less than half a pound. Therefore, in less than two minutes, the little girl ate the bean soup in the jar clean.
Seeing the little girl eating sweetly, Zhang Ran couldn't help but sigh with relief, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Haha..." Looking at the intimate "interaction" between the brother and sister in front of him, Zhang Li's originally tense face quickly softened, especially when he saw the smile on Zhang Ran's face, Zhang Li couldn't help but chuckled...
However, the warm atmosphere lasted for less than ten seconds. Zhang Li's expression turned solemn and said to the little girl beside Zhang Ran, "Sui'er, it's getting late, don't bother your brother anymore. His body is just a little better. Let's let him rest early!"
"Ah?" Hearing his mother's words, the little girl's face collapsed, and then she had to reluctantly put the clay pot in her hand on the edge of the bed, and replied very obediently: "I understand, mom!"
After putting the jar, Huier patted Zhang Ran’s shoulder like a little adult, and told him seriously: “Brother, you have a good rest! My mother and I will come to see you again tomorrow morning!”
Seeing this, Zhang Ran felt embarrassed and immediately said with a hint of laughter and tears: "Okay! Then I'll listen to you, I'll wait for you to come to see me tomorrow!"
"Well, mother, let's go!"
.........
The spring sun is bright, and the warm sunshine shines on the ground through the tender green leaves, forming light spots, whether bright or dark. The breeze comes, and the mulberry leaves in the courtyard sway with the breeze and sway in the wind.
Zhang Ran sat on the threshold, leaning against the wooden door frame, tilted his head, looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, the sun shining on his body, and he seemed to be lazy, as if he had no strength at all.
"You're so naive!"
I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Ran suddenly sighed slowly, and reluctantly pulled his eyes back from the sky, and rubbed his neck, which was sour.
"How long has it been since I seen such clear blue sky and white clouds?"
I vaguely remember the last time I saw such a blue sky, when I was traveling to Inner Mongolia a few years ago.
Later generations Zhang Ran lived in the North China Plain, where heavy industry was relatively developed, especially the steel output was firmly ranked first in the world. Therefore, most of the sky in Zhang Ran’s impression was gray.
Zhang Ran also knew very well that this was the price that must be paid for industrialization and urbanization, and it was also the price that every country and its people who wanted to control the destiny of their own country. All countries with industrialization capabilities in the world have come through this, such as the "fog capital" in the UK and the "Detroit" in the United States. The worst thing is India. Due to the existence of the Himalayas and the special geographical and climate, the smog cannot be dissipated for a long time, and the entire Uttar Pradesh and its surroundings have been shrouded in smog for many years...
"Brother, the wind is strong here. My mother said that your body is just right and you can't blow the wind, otherwise it will be easy to get cold. Let's hurry up and go into the house!"
"Well"
Hearing the sound, Zhang Ran suddenly came to his senses. When he looked down, he found that the person who was talking to him was his "sister" Zhang Sui'er. At this moment, the little girl was pulling the corner of Zhang Ran's clothes, and she "admonished" Zhang Ran like a decent adult, and her little face was full of serious and solemn expression...
Looking at the little girl's face, which was obviously full of tenderness and cuteness, but she was tense and posing with a serious look, Zhang Ran suddenly felt that her little girl was a little cute...
Cute! So cute! It seems to be rubbing it!
Zhang Ran couldn't help but stretch out his sinful hand, imitated Zhang Li's appearance, and rubbed his "sister"'s messy hair twice.
"Stop! Brother, please let me go..."
Zhang Ran's behavior immediately angered his sister Zhang Sui'er. Zhang Sui'er's face showed a hint of shock and anger. Zhang Zhang angrily scolded Zhang Ran, "Go back to the house quickly, otherwise I will tell my mother now!"
"Okay! OK!" Zhang Ran pinched his sister's face again before the little girl got angry again, then reluctantly withdrew her hand, and smiled and said, "Okay, listen to you! Let's go into the house!"
"Hmph!" Zhang Sui'er snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, but she quickly stretched out her small hand to grab one of Zhang Ran's arms and helped him up little by little.
......
"Bang!"
Just as he stood up and walked for a few steps, Zhang Ran suddenly felt his feet soft and he couldn't help but kneel down to the ground. Even his sister Zhang Sui'er was staggered by him and almost fell to the ground...
"Ah!?Brother!"
A scream came from his ear. Zhang Sui'er was shocked. She quickly stepped forward, pulled Zhang Ran's arm hard, pulled Zhang Ran up little by little from the ground, and asked nervously, "Brother, brother, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to call my mother here to see?"
"No, no! It's just that I've been sitting for too long just now and my legs are numb. I can do it myself. Don't tell my mother, so as not to worry again!"
Zhang Ran quickly waved his hand to the little girl, and at the same time, endured the slight dizziness left in her brain and the sequelae of dizziness, stood up shakingly, and supported her body and walked towards her house step by step with the help of her sister Sui'er.
......
After this lesson, Zhang Ran became much more stable in the next period of time. Most of the time, he would lie in bed honestly as his mother told him, and occasionally, while his mother was away, he would go outside the house to bask in the sun while his mother was away (attention).
