"Okay, I didn't realize I've been talking to you for so long."

Grandpa Xiao looked at the call duration on his phone and asked, "Grandpa didn't disturb you from studying, did he?"

"No."

Xiao Xiao denied with a smile, "It's still time for lunch break."

"That's good."

Grandpa Xiao's brows relaxed, "I'm going to hang up now."

"You should also take more rest."

“Don’t study too hard.”

"Ok, I know."

"Xiaoxiao, goodbye."

"Goodbye, grandpa."

Thinking about what Grandpa Xiao said on the phone, Xiao Xiao looked at the sky in a daze for a while, then turned and walked into the house.

A few days later, Xiao Xiao went to the hospital.

Zhou Mingbao lived in a single room.

Although he was beaten, the other party did not ask him to return the money he had used to buy the screen.

In other words, apart from the physical injuries, Zhou Mingbao did not suffer much financial loss.

Except for the hospital expenses.

In fact, in a sense, the people Zhou Mingbao met every time he did something stupid were all good people.

As far as Xiao Xiao knew about the two times, neither customer asked Zhou Mingbao for a refund.

Although the second time Zhou Mingbao was unable to pay the compensation demanded by the other party.

Whenever Zhou Mingbao encounters a difficult customer, the Zhou family will definitely be even more troubled than they are now.

How could it be as peaceful as it is now?

Zhou Mingbao just needs to rest and recuperate.

Hearing the noise coming from the door, Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

How could this person have the energy to curse here?
……

"Dong Dong~"

Xiao Xiao knocked on the door several times.

"Who?"

The voice of Mr. Zhou was heard.

During this period, Mr. Zhou would come to spend some time with his son every day before going to the store.

……

"Grandpa Zhou."

Xiao Xiao smiled at the old man who opened the ward door.

"Xiaoxiao."

Mr. Zhou's expression was complicated for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the old man's face.

It is undeniable that he felt a little uncomfortable at this moment.

Clearly, after Lao Xiao left, he complained to his wife, saying that Xiaoxiao was an ignorant child and didn't even know to follow Lao Xiao to see Zhou Zhou?

It’s not like Xiaoxiao doesn’t know that Zhouzhou was beaten.

But when he actually saw the person coming, he thought that maybe it would be better if the child didn't come.

So that he wouldn't think about the time when he asked for help but was rejected.

It is necessary for elders to be mentally prepared and embarrassed when asking younger generations for help, but they are still rejected.

More than once.

Thinking about Mr. Zhou, he felt a little anxious.

……

"Grandpa Zhou, I'm here to see Zhou Mingbao."

Seeing that the old man looked a little absent-minded, Xiao Xiao slightly raised the fruit basket in his hand to indicate his purpose.

He won't be turned away, will he?
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved slightly, and this idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

……

"Ah, oh."

Mr. Zhou suddenly came back to his senses, "Come in, come in."

"Look at me, I tend to be distracted when I get older."

The old man smiled embarrassedly.

……

"Old man, who is this?"

An old lady beside the bed stood up.

"It's Xiaoxiao."

Mr. Zhou reminded his wife, "Didn't I tell you before?"

"Oh, it's Xiaoxiao."

The old lady narrowed her eyes and smiled kindly, "It's been a long time."

"Xiaoxiao has grown so big."

"Grandma Zhou."

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up.

... "Come to see Zhou Zhou?"

The old lady glanced at the fruit basket that Xiao Xiao placed on the bedside table and couldn't help but complain, "You're here, what else do you need?"

"It's great that you can come and see Zhou Zhou."

Xiao Xiao smiled. It would be too rude if he really came empty-handed.

After all, their relationship wasn't good enough to ignore these things.

……

The old lady was just being polite.

She turned to look at her son lying on the hospital bed, her expression softening a little, "Zhou Zhou."

"Who do you think is coming?"

"Do you still recognize him?"

"It's Xiao Xiao, the grandson of Grandpa Xiao who came to see you before."

"You played together when you were kids."

……

Zhou Mingbao curled his lips and muttered quietly, "Who still remembers things from childhood?"

Mr. Zhou glared at his son.

How do you speak?
Even if you think so in your heart, don't say it out loud.

This atmosphere is so awkward.

However, the old man also knew that his son had been in a bad mood recently.

After all, his leg was broken.

I have been lying in bed for so many days.

Moreover, days like this will continue for a long time.

Broken bones for a hundred days.

It will take a long time for my son to recover from his leg injury and walk normally again.

This was undoubtedly a great torment for my son who was active by nature.

……

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao."

Mr. Zhou glared at his son again, then turned to Xiao Xiao and smiled apologetically, "This child has been in a bad mood recently."

"you know too……"

The old man's eyes swept across his son's plastered leg, and the meaning was self-evident.

"I know."

Xiao Xiao indicated that he didn't mind.

"After all, we didn't have much contact, so it's normal that he doesn't remember me."

For Xiao Xiao, if Grandpa Xiao hadn't told him the whole story beforehand, he would have felt very unfamiliar with Zhou Mingbao.

……

"Ah, I remembered."

Zhou Mingbao suddenly shouted, "You annoying little devil."

Some inexplicable words made the two elders of the Zhou family look at each other in confusion.

Mr. Zhou frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid?"

"Zhou Zhou, do you want to eat some fruit?"

The old lady changed the subject, "How about an apple?"

"Or pear?"

……

"apple."

Zhou Mingbao replied to the old lady and continued what he had said before, "I remembered this person."

"What do you call this person? Impolite."

Zhou Lao scolded him, then smiled awkwardly at Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, don't mind it. This kid is like this, he speaks his mind, but he doesn't mean any harm."

“Some of them just can’t speak.”

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

I don’t know how many people have been fooled into buying fake antiques, and you still can’t speak?

Is Zhou Mingbao probably too good at speaking?

……

"Isn't it this person?"

Zhou Mingbao muttered something in a low voice, then raised his voice a little, and looked at Xiao Xiao with a look of realization on his face, "So it's you."

"You're younger than me, but you're such a brat that refuses to call me brother."

Thinking about his childhood, Zhou Mingbao still felt a little angry.

Children look forward to growing up and like to pretend to be adults.

At that time, it was rare for him to meet a child younger than him, and he just wanted the other person to call him brother.

However, the other party always looked at him with an expressionless face and never called him brother once.

The unprecedented setback aroused his resentment, and during that time he tried every means to make this little kid call him brother.

Unfortunately, until the end, his wish was not fulfilled.
