Chapter 379 Cui Miaomiao
At night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. A small figure appeared quietly in front of Xu Changping's house like a ghost.
She raised her hand gently, and with hope in her eyes, she knocked on the closed door with her dry and thin fingers.
Xu Changping, who was sleeping soundly in the room, was suddenly awakened by the sudden knock on the door.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and felt a little confused. Who was knocking on the door outside in the middle of the night?
Although he was full of doubts, Xu Changping still slowly got up and walked towards the door of the main room.
When he pulled the door open with force, he found no one outside. Xu Changping's heart skipped a beat and he was about to go out to see what was going on.
He heard a soft sob at his feet. Xu Changping lowered his head and was instantly stunned by the scene before him.
I saw a small figure curled up at the door of his house, like a frightened little animal.
With the help of the bright moonlight, Xu Changping could clearly see the child's appearance.
This is not Cui Miaomiao from Old Lady Cui’s house in the front yard. Xu Changping remembered that the child’s parents had passed away and that the child had been raised by Old Lady Cui by making paper boxes.
The vigilance in his heart gradually dissipated. He slowly squatted down, his eyes full of concern and tenderness, and asked softly: "Miaomiao, it's so late, why are you here? Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"Brother Xu, please! My grandma has been coughing badly recently and can't sleep well all night. Can you go over and help her? As for the medical expenses... I really can't afford it now, but please believe me, I will work hard to make money by pasting paper boxes, and then slowly pay you back."
After Cui Miaomiao finished saying these words, she stood up and knelt straight on the ground with a "thump". The dull sound of her knees hitting the ground was frightening.
Tears were welling up in her eyes as she looked at Xu Changping with pleading eyes. Her two little hands were tightly entangled together, and her fingertips were a little white because she was holding them too tightly.
Xu Changping had not expected the child to kneel down suddenly, and was really shocked. He quickly bent down, stretched out his hands to help her up from the ground, and kept muttering: "Hurry up and get up, don't kneel like this, let's talk it over."
After finally pulling Cui Miaomiao up, Xu Changping breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her standing firmly. Then, he said to her gently, "Don't worry, wait for me for a while, I'll go into the house to get the medicine box and then go with you."
Soon, Xu Changping came out of the room wearing a coat and carrying a medicine box. After closing the door, he took Cui Miaomiao's little hand, which was as dry as a chicken claw.
Feeling the touch in his hand, Xu Changping couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this child is really too thin.
In fact, this is also the root cause of Xu Changping's deep dissatisfaction with the uncles in the yard.
In the original plot, they always united closely around Yi Zhonghai, constantly putting pressure on other people in the yard, asking everyone to work together to help the Jia family, whose financial situation was not poor at all.
However, they showed an indifference and turned a blind eye to the difficulties faced by other families in the yard.
You know, it's not just the Cui family that lives in poverty. In this yard, there are several families who rely on the meager salary of an ordinary worker to support their families.
But as the plot develops, as long as Jia Zhang from the Jia family makes a little trouble or noise, Yi Zhonghai will mobilize all the residents in the courtyard to donate without hesitation.
These thoughts flashed through Xu Changping's mind, and he immediately lowered his voice and said to Cui Miaomiao beside him: "Okay, let's go quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Changping didn't care about the little girl's reaction and took her away quickly from the slightly deserted East Courtyard.
At this time, the bright moonlight fell on the ground like water, illuminating the path ahead for the two.
With the help of the bright moonlight, Xu Changping easily led the little girl to the gate of Cui's house in the front yard.
When he gently pushed open the door and stepped into the house, the first thing that caught his eye was a room that looked a little old but was kept tidy and clean.
Seeing this scene, Xu Changping couldn't help but nodded secretly in his heart. The old lady of the Cui family was a very clean person.
Cough cough~~cough cough cough~~~
Suddenly, a series of violent coughs broke the original silence. Cui Miaomiao's face was full of anxiety. She broke free from Xu Changping's hand without hesitation and rushed in like an arrow.
Soon, Xu Changping heard Cui Miaomiao's clear and anxious voice coming from inside the house: "Grandma, don't worry! I've invited Uncle Xu here. With him here, you'll definitely get better soon!"
However, what responded to her was not words of hope, but a more violent cough that seemed to cough out her heart and lungs: "Cough cough cough~~~Cough cough~~~Cough~~~"
Xu Changping frowned slightly, and stopped standing there. He raised his feet and strode into the house.
In the inner room, the dim oil lamp emitted a weak light, barely illuminating a corner of the room. A slightly raised and undulating quilt came into Xu Changping's sight.
He walked slowly to the bedside, lowered his voice and gently said to Cui Miaomiao who was kneeling beside the bed: "Miaomiao, don't worry, let me take a look at your grandma." After that, he gently bent down, grabbed the old man's hand that was placed outside the quilt, and began to diagnose the old man's condition.
After a while, Xu Changping stood up and said to Cui Miaomiao, "Your grandma is fine. She just caught a cold. I'll get you some medicine later. Just feed her on time."
After saying that, Xu Changping got up and left the inner room, opened the medicine box on the square table at the corner of the main room, and took out a box of anti-inflammatory drugs.
When he was about to go in, Xu Changping paused, then took out a body-strengthening pill mixed with spiritual spring water from the system space under the cover of the medicine box.
Although Mrs. Cui’s condition is not too serious at the moment, she is still old. Even if she recovers this time, she will easily get sick next time.
With the strengthening pills, the other person's body can also be made stronger.
